Because some people saw other people actually getting rich overnight by buying altcoin, though finding those kind of altcoin is just like looking for a needle in the hay, other than that, Bitcoin price is already so high, so people just looking for some cheap coin
that's right, that's why there are still many people who invest in altcoin and choose to take risks compared to investing in Bitcoin, because only altcoin can give us a big profit compared to investing in Bitcoin, but of course the risk is also bigger than investing in Bitcoin, therefore if we want to invest in altcoin, then we must be prepared for the risks and of course don't forget to DYOR before investing in altcoin.
People who thinks that crypto is the quick way to richness, they are looking at this investment as place where they can pick an alt coin and it will pump so high and give them huge amount of profits. Not realizing that the amount of risk that they are taking is really something that can scam them and lead them to lose their money.
Not generalizing though, there are still alts that may give you decent profits, just do your DYOR and set a proper expectation to avoid
any panic or fears when the market is not favoring your position.
well unfortunately many are investing in cryptocurrencies definitely for that sole reason, that is a get rich quick scheme, you can see it from the fact that there are many that invest in meme coins.
those that invest in meme coins are massive, with market capitalization that's just humongous and also the trading volume that is huge.
it's easy to deduct the fact that there are so many people that actually interested to investment that's rather speculative in nature and also make them rich quick.
it's no wonder that there are many that losses money along the way because they are greedy.
