In 2016 when I was a kid, this coin got in stuck in my mind but absolutely everyone around me was telling me to forget it, it's scam, it's online shit, I shouldn't study it and should move on something else and finally ended up working hard absolutely every day for years to migrate in Canada to learn in university and pay high tution fees.
Finally, I finished the university and gained PR but the money that I have spent in all of these makes me cry every day. If it weren't my parents, I would invest in bitcoin in 2016-2017, I would be a millionaire today. I totally missed 2020's boom because of my situation but now is the time in my life where I stand on my feet, not strongly but I stand and manage to live and save some money. As I see, there are guys on this forum since 2015, they are here still today, so I want to know your opinion and want to hear your advice about Bitcoin. As we all know, halving is coming. Should I invest my savings in Bitcoin? Or should I lean towards altcoins this time? Which one? I don't have health problems and don't have to worry about job security but it would make me sad to lose all the savings but life in Canada is getting expensive every fucking day.
The first thing is that those questions you ask and the context of it make me think that you are not clear yet, neither with bitcoin nor with life itself.
The information is always the "key", so, it leaves me a little disconcerted when people talk of bitcoin as if it should have been "Noah's ark", the economic salvation of all.
You can to review the available investments that have existed in the 20th century and those of the 21st century, thousands, some have achieved success, others simply have not, or some others are in a cycle of opportunities, typical of any type of investment, so how do you know?
You have to invest money that you do not need for your basic life plans and paying your tuition fees is that type of money, it is the secure information that your parents handle and decided to invest in that.
If you want to know what to do, just make the right plan, do your research well, raise awareness about the investment based on your life priorities, what is currently happening with bitcoin may be in one of the stages I mentioned, a cycle of opportunities.
Then, how to know it, In any case, always keep in mind that as I said, the only investment available is not bitcoin, it seems that everyone now understands investments because bitcoin exists.
Finally, don't criticize your parents, they made the right move.
