You have your own point of view and I respect that. I agree on what you said about Bitcoin but seriously? Tether? BUSD and USDC is way more better than tether. These two stablecoins had their regular audit and have been certified to have 1:1 reserved while tether is somehow on the gray part area when the reserve fund is discussed.
The problem with altcoins is that majority only think what to buy, they should also include when to sell in order for us to take profit on what OP called scam cryptocurrency. I may say to not get serious about altcoin projects, just buy and sell when profit is seen. Being attached to them will lead us to losses just like what happened to Luna and FTX.
Take advantage of the altcoin volatility and its pump and dump but never think to hodl them unless you are very sure about its future. If there is something we must hodl, it is Bitcoin and nothing more.
You make it sound like anyone knows what to expect when dealing with crypto, even when luna crashed, a lot of folks went on buying at that lowest thinking there saw an opportunity not knowing it was a dead end for the project, how many persons could predict or even noticed that such was about to happen, everyone was busy with FOMO and to the moon.. when the lamp was about to bemreak on them, the truth is when investing or rather gambling with altcoins have in mind that anything could happen and this are institutions and ceos, many or anything can happen and you could lose all or some of your money, so it's better to play it safe with bitcoin than to go down that part at least now we know the risk involved in altcoins and know we should be careful around them.
Yeah it's better to play the game of volatility with altcoins than bitcoin, and I'm sad when people don't hold bitcoin and rather engage in short term investment or trading Bitcoin, bitcoin is an asset not just any liquid game that rises and falls, its the future and is more a good bank to save in, its better to play around with alts than to play around with bitcoin.
