Not every crypto is like bitcoin.

[finaleshot2016]

There are categories under cryptocurrencies and each category has a timeframe. They say that memecoins have a timeframe of only minutes or hours. Basically meaning it trends for only that timeframe and that’s when you should trade. But Layer 1s may have days for its timeframe allowing you more flexibility.

But bitcoin’s trends can last for weeks or months which is why HODLing should really only apply to bitcoin. Stop deluding yourself into thinking holding memecoins are a good choice. Bitcoin is slow but safe and other coins or tokens are fast-paced and riskier. Don’t apply bitcoin-specific strategies on others.

It's obvious that those who have utilities in the chain can last more longer than those built by hype only. It's like in real life, trendy stuff end fast but those standards most likely remain and become the basis by the public. To be fair, even some memecoins with utility also last long, and sometimes it's about the community so there are certain tokens that last more time than other utility token. But again, bitcoin is power, it is the standard and it's the basis of all crypto, that's why it's different, it remains untouchable and its trend last for more time. Even in recovery, BTC shows recovery fast than other crypto because people keep buying or getting some good entry than in the past where they let it dip down, the global adaptation really affects BTC right now.

Bitcoin is really safe compared to other coins. If not for anything, we have seen bitcoin's price movements for years and can tell from experience how safe it is. Even though there are still some altcoins that don't ride with the hype, the first coin to be recommended to a newbie should be bitcoin. It may not appreciate faster like memecoins do, but at least they'll all have the guarantee that they do not put their investments at risk of losses within the twinkle of an eye. Safety first before thinking of massive profit in a very short while.

Bro, I get ur point, but it's not that black and white. Memecoin/alt timeframes can be short, but not always "minutes ,hours" some meme coins also cycle and run for a week. Also, many layer 1 or mid cap projects crash so sudden, even if they have a "daily timeframe", they are not completely safe. And HODL only for Bitcoin this is an exaggeration. if you do have good fundamentals, team, use cases, you can also hold alts in the long term, Just pick good one. The truth is the strategy has to be decided by looking at the asset, market conditions, and risk tolerance, not by category. Then you will find your true asset.

I agree, each cryptocurrency market trading has different approach.  Holding memecoins isn't bad thing if the holders knows what he is doing.  Holding as we know can be short term and long term, wise investors knows what approach to take.  Like some of the altcoins like BNB and ETH, it has been too long since they surpassed their ATH, but we all know recently they did.

So applying the Bitcoin approach can be used to other altcoins too, it is that, we should be very careful where to apply it.

That's right, every beginner should start with Bitcoin. And smart beginners will be happy to hold Bitcoin. Because it has a long, rich history, any sensible beginner who doesn't want to make all the money in the world right away will be happy to understand this fact. But foolish beginners always start with memes or bad altcoins because they want big profits here and now.
And the market punishes them because they think they're like fast hares outrunning Bitcoin turtles, but in reality, these guys end up with nothing after a while.

On big caps - it can work out, truly.

But usually, with small caps and memes especially, it's a dead road filled with more losses than pros. At least that's how it is in my experience and my book.

The only meme coin that has been around for the longest and which has utility because it is also accepted as a payment method in a lot of platforms or places is DOGE, and it has its own blockchain as well, so it's an exception. Other than that, all meme coins tend to fade with time as the hype about them starts getting lower because new meme coins enter the market, and investors turn their heads towards the new ones, and then the old ones start disappearing from the charts as no one shows much interest in them.

Bitcoin is the best among them because it was the first one, and its utilities made it so trustworthy. There are a lot of altcoins that are also good, but Bitcoin still stands out also because of its decentralized nature, because all altcoins have creators, teams, and projects behind them, but Bitcoin is solo, and it has always been that way and will always be that way, that's why people have more trust in it.

The right statement is that no crypto is like Bitcoin. If you have been in the cryptocurrency business for long, you would have understood my statement better. Bitcoin is different from every other cryptocurrency out there, even those that claim to offer real life solution end up becoming shitcoins. Bitcoin is the first and have remained the best among the rest. It has offered more utility and have remained strong in the midst of criticism.

Yes. The key is that Bitcoin is the first coin, even the mother of all coins. Therefore we can certainly conclude that there is no other cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. Although many other coins have emerged, even considered competitors, Bitcoin remains the number one coin to own and invest in.

Bitcoin has strong fundamentals for the future even amidst negative issues surrounding Bitcoin, but it hasn't fallen; instead its growth has increased. This proves that Bitcoin is a long-term asset worth investing in, compared to altcoins let alone meme coins whose fundamentals are unclear.

When investing in memecoins, the joke is on you losing money to these ponzi schemes. It has been always like this, even at the beginning of this niche, when Elon Musk started pumping DOGE and SHIBA INU. As we can see, DOGE has never returned to its ATH from 2021 (when memecoins started being a thing), even during the bullish run of 2024. Therefore, it's a risky and unprofitable investment if you think from the perspective of those who purchased during the ATH.

Not every cryptos are like Bitcoin, but more than that, there isn't a single crypto like Bitcoin. Bitcoin is unique and every other token and coin you see, has come from the concept of Bitcoin. Some cryptos have their respective usacases and purposes to exist, but none can be compared to Bitcoin.

One key is its history, and that builds trust. Its special value lies in that, even though technologically, there are newer and better options. However, with today's technological advancements, quantum computing is a new technology that could create problems for the Bitcoin and crypto ecosystems. So, as long as developers continue to develop, trust will grow. Bitcoin and crypto will not be defeated by new technologies if they can continue to adapt.

Bitcoin is different from remaining coins in the market because of it's decentralised nature. No coin in the crypto market has decentralised nature that is even close to Bitcoin and that's why people prefer to invest in Bitcoin. Over last decade, price of Bitcoin has gone up enormously and no alt coin has shown such increase. Newbies first choice must be Bitcoin to learn and understand crypto and once they have understanding of Bitcoin then they can invest in alt coins or meme coins depending on his interest.

Yes, only long-term holding is compatible with Bitcoin, because Bitcoin has a halving cycle every four years where the risk of Bitcoin price increasing is highest. Those who hold Bitcoin according to the cycle are long-term plus their holding is stronger and lasts longer. Because when the bear market enters, those who are long-term holders buy more Bitcoin and hold it for a long time, all Bitcoin investors who are there basically prefer to hold Bitcoin for a long time and it is possible to hold Bitcoin for a long time by using the DCA method. Currently, Bitcoin is the most popular and various countries have adopted Bitcoin as a strategic reserve.

[RealNoblee]

I will start by saying no, not every crypto is like Bitcoin, as we have the subject (cryptocurrency), it include many different types, such as altcoins which we know have different functions and purposes.

Furthermore, some are similar to Bitcoin and they are focused on being a digital currency, others like Ethereum are built on existing blockchains as tokens, which in turn serves as a platform for smart contracts.

They are also designed for specific functions like cross - border transaction or faster payments.

I don’t if it is right to say that Bitcoin trends will last forever, but as far as I am concerned, and as far as Crypto space is still active, Bitcoin trend will keep leading the crypto industry because it is the pioneer crypto and will always lead due to it’s decentralized nature and how open the network is.
Altcoins are centralized, they are been controlled by group of people who buy idea from Bitcoin just to be among the active crypto tokens in the crypto market, they all depend on price movements of Bitcoin and can’t do alone without Bitcoin, while Bitcoin is independent.

You can invest on altcoin for short period of time, or if you do your research and find the project worthy of investing in, you can hold for a while but with caution, while Bitcoin investment is always preferred to be a long term investment because Bitcoin is an asset that store value.

Bitcoin trend has been on ground for years. It is only airdrop and shitcoins reign/trend for only few weeks and fade away. Many people who don't understand bitcoin investment always want bitcoin to be at the all time high. No. You will enjoy bitcoin investment when the price is low because at that time you will accumulate more bitcoins in the portfolio and prepare yourself in the next bull market.

Don't dismay the bear market but use it as opportunity to purchase more bitcoins in the wallet. And be hodle and hodle for years.

Don’t apply bitcoin-specific strategies on others.

This problem is often experienced by those who have already invested in memecoins and missed the opportunity to sell, resulting in a loss in the value of their assets. They may not want to be honest with themselves about their losses and cover it up by just holding onto the memecoin. All they do is hope that, in the long term, the value of their investment will recover. But instead, what happens is that the value of their investment continues to dwindle.
We can buy altcoins or other new coins, but it is still important to be careful and take advantage of the momentum. If you want a long-term investment, then the only choice is Bitcoin.

Memes don't hold value for long.

Because they don't have utility. Only flashy images and loud words.

No crypto is like bitcoin, there are literally not even one more coin even similar to bitcoin. Why do you think Satoshi kept himself a secret and went away? It is the ultimate decentralized perfect coin and there is nothing like it and on top of it, it is the first one so it will always have a higher value.

Bitcoin is first place for a reason, there are times in crypto market where bitcoin is worth more than all other coins combined, not sure if we are there anymore, but it has happened many times, there is a reason for that. Bitcoin is far greater and superior, but it also has a limit on how high it can go, you can't make x10 with it, so that is why some people like to invest into altcoins as well, I do it with my profits of bitcoin.

This is the same Bitcoin everyone was panicking that it will fall and some institutional investors are going to lose all their investments but the same Bitcoin is back.trading at $90k like a joke. I'm very sure that alot of people didn't see this price coming, they rely on the information and FUD they were getting thinking that the market will dump and so everyone is taking their profits from the market trying to reduce any loss further, the dump looks structure and like an attack.

If you want to buy Bitcoin, don't listen to what people are saying otherwise. They don't have Bitcoin and they are always against having it. They prefer to leave you not having anything so they can go back to nothing. Aside from Bitcoin, we have people that are doing this in real life.

Well, since we understand the market fairly well, we know the history of bitcoin and also make various comments about the future of bitcoin. Bitcoin is the best medium for investment, so we always give various messages about holding bitcoin.

But here I see that you have said not to hold mem coins at all and not to think such confused thoughts, is it really reasonable? If I want to hold meme coins along with my bitcoin investment, it will depend on my personal situation. If I think it can be good then I will hold it. But it is not right to make bad comments about mem coins at all.

You don’t get the point op is trying to pass out here, memecion is a medium for investing likewise other asset. Yet you don’t have to invest and feel relaxed rather the choice of investment allows an investor to watch the market always looking for a better price to sell. This is an honest truth not about bad comments, firstly average number of investors believing in memecoins never had an opportunity to earn profit instead the coin seems like a waste of time and in comparison Bitcoin is not part of cryptocurrency, it’s quite understandable bitcoin investment is all about long term plan so in this situation the market is less risky.
