yup. for better or worse you're right. anyone with a modest amount of bitcoin, sub 100 say, won't be getting a life changing gain within a realistic time span.
at the same time it's gambling pure and simple and the alt market is just as rancid as it ever was. personally i'd prefer to avoid a life changing loss and stay out of it.
Indeed, the altcoin market is disappointment after disappointment, but sometimes, some projects can deliver massive gains. XMR went up to 2000%, the technology is decent, the devs are decent, but the main point of the coin was the anonymous hype phase. I remember how they pumped it claiming all those darknet markets would accept it. Now this is over, and i just don't see this coin giving massive gains again. Same for ETH. Smart contracts hype is over after DAO disaster.
So I don't see any other decent new coins that are insanely undervalued in my view.
How do we get rich then?
Ok guys sell your bitcoins for some extremely speculative altcoins!
I mean Bitcoin itself is already a big risk!
So sell your precious bitcoins if you're really that greedy!I will appreciate that and pick them all up.
Most of the "top" alts with some potential already have huge whales! And a huge part of them is also big in Bitcoin!
You're looking for the needle in the hay stack if you ask me.Great way to burn your bitcoins.Good luck!
I will take the other path.vI have patience and no problems with holding BTC for 10+ years.
And what is rich and what is not is also a subjective opinion. A payed house + a good job will make you a enjoyable life.
That is something a majority of people nowadays do not have.
Good luck paying a house 100% unless you are holding a big amount of BTC.
