Bitcoin is the same pump and dump shit. The only real coins are the gold ones.
Sounds like you need to move on from crypto then. But I disagree, the bitcoin market is too deep to pump and dump unless you're a major whale.
OP, yes altcoins are all shit unless they actually get used. And most don't.
do you invest in dash, eth etc.?
Some. I've owned both of those, more Dash than eth. I don't use dark markets and such, so I don't know if there's any real use for 99.99% of these shitcoins. Doge has a loyal following, I've noticed.
