Doge is also a meme, shiba is also a memecoin and they still exist today and thanks to them many people have become rich. In your opinion, are people who become rich by investing in doge or shiba stupid? In 2023 even though bear season is still raging and leaving many bitcoin investors unable to make significant profits. But in the market there appeared a memecoin project called PEPE and I bet you also know about it, it increased more than 1000 times and helped people make good profits, do you think they are idiots?
Altcoins are risky but that doesn't mean they are all scams. Just because you can't find the hidden gems, others won't either. Bitcoin is the safest investment and no one can deny that, but investing in altcoins is not as bad as you are saying.
Shiba is not pow thus it is garbage.
Scrypt = POW it merge mines LTC+DOGE it is the second biggest POW ALGO it earns 1.3 million per day for mining.
satoshi based all POW on Power makes the value.
If you believe in BTC and POW
You really need to believe on LTC/DOGE and POW
Not more complex than this.
If we talk about technology, safety level...then Shiba is really trash because it has no utility or safety as it is just POS. But what I am talking about here is profit because we are here to seek profit, not just to seek technology. So, it would be incorrect to say that altcoins, memecoins are trash and useless even in terms of profit. Shiba, doge and many other altcoins have grown thousands of times, bringing profits to many investors. How can we say they are completely useless? They are useless in terms of technology and utility, but in terms of profit, that is not true. I believe that doge and shiba will continue to grow and bring great profits in the next bull season.
