I have around 2.1k in btc rn and was wondering if I should sell it and invest in a couple of altcoin projects, would that be a good idea? I know Bitcoin will never ever do another 5x in the near future haha so that's kind of why I would wanna sell. The market cap of btc would have to reach a very high amount for it to be life-changing money to me.
Op how do you know that Bitcoin cannot do 5x in the near future. In cryptocurrency we can make predictions but that doesn't mean our prediction will come to pass, in fact I'll say you are wrong with your analysis that Bitcoin won't be doing 5x in the near future, anything can happen at any time, and besides the concept of demand and and supply keeps insisting that the price of Bitcoin will continue to o increase because of scarcity though it might take some time but I believe Bitcoin can do 5x in some couple of years to come.
If you are talking about a short period of time, then you should know better that Bitcoin is not a short term project that just pumps up from no where and return back in no time. Good and genuine things last for long, and that why Bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency, for you to have enough profit from it, you have to pay the price of patience, and if you do so, you might end up securing your retirement fund through investing and accumulating Bitcoin using the DCA or you can even pass some of it to your next generation, and by that time, the price of Bitcoin would be higher than you expect now.
