I don't know what happened to you that you to think real money is in altcoins and shitcoins and that Bitcoin is for wealthy investors, this is absolutely not true.
Maybe you had a bad experience that made you think that, but for me from my personal experience I believe that Bitcoin is free and available to all people even the poor, it is true that the rich can get larger amounts but the poor can get Bitcoin too.
The only reason why I think some people choose some altcoins instead of Bitcoin is because they feel that Bitcoin is too expensive and it takes a lot of time and effort for someone who don't have or earn enough money to build a huge portfolio in Bitcoin that will guarantee their profits and people are impatient, they just want to invest and start seeing the profits immediately but Bitcoin investments doesn't work that way as you have to hold for long term profits.

Bitcoin is for everyone, like even someone who don't have enough money or don't earn enough money can consider using the DCA to invest at different intervals of time, the DCA strategy is easier for all to take part in the accumulating stage without feeling pressured of any kind. Investing in Bitcoin does not mean buying a whole Bitcoin but building your portfolio gradually and consistently. Sometimes the reasons why people feel they are wasting their time investing in Bitcoin is due to the fact that they monitor the activities of altcoins in the market and see some altcoins skyrocket so high within a short time frame but they forget to know that most altcoins are mare pump and dump coins so if you use because an altcoin is pumping and decides to invest in it, when it starts dumping it is always a drastic dump without any sustainability.
