In the 1970s, here are the top computing companies selling home computers (there may be more, but this is just what I remember);
1. Commodore
2. Atari
3. Radio Shack
4. T.I.
5. Altair
6. Apple
7. IBM
Look at these companies now;
1. gone
2. gone
3. filed for bankruptcy
4. no personal computer line anymore
5. gone
6. successful
7. sold their personal computer line off due to not profitable. sold to Lenovo
Out of all these over 250 bitcoins and altcoins, ONE will be dominant and become universally accepted as money to buy almost anything. All the others are cons or shitcoins. You have a less than 0.4% chance of success if you pick an altcoin to invest in. Your chances are slightly better than 0.4% if you own bitcoin, due to bitcoin being the first mover.
Picking one whose price keeps going up is not a guarantee of success. Remember, Apple came close to bankruptcy once? If you got spooked and sold then, you would've missed out on its comeback.
Sir Alpha_goy is just being pessimistic. He thinks that none of the digital currencies will be successful because they are not really money so crypto has no "real world application", so this is just a game played in a sandbox to fleece you out of your money. This is not true. It is true 99.6% of the time, though, as I just explained to you. That's why no one "invests" in crypto. One "gambles" in crypto.
This is a simulation for real world application.
We are merely playing in a sandbox right now.
Many still think its a game.
Explain this please!
