Wanted to give an example base on my experience but don’t want the post to be lengthy (some rug pulls, AnubisDAO (2021), and Defi100 (2021) there are more…) , Best way to win in this space is not by following hype, trends and stuff. Is playing it safe and knowing how to take the right risks, because some risks aren’t worth taking at all.
This message is not just for newbies but it is for every other investor that cares about the safety of the money he is putting into this space. those in the wing of ANTI bitcoin are strong in their hatred of bitcoin because of the mix of other project as bitcoin and verse visa encountering failures in those project and then generalizing it to be same as investing in bitcoin.
If the current DIP that is happening to bitcoin happens to other asset believe me that most of them will not survive talk less of bouncing back and those are the risk that is associated with investing in other things that are not as long term worthy as bitcoin is.
But I don't think those who choose altcoins are against Bitcoin, but rather greedy. They believe they can get rich quick with altcoins, especially since many new projects have seen significant growth only to die. This often happens repeatedly. They also know that altcoins are unsustainable, but they still choose them because they are inherently greedy.
Many beginners even make a major mistake resulting in a loss of 80% or even 100% of their portfolio. They feel like deleting the app, throwing away their phone, and never hearing the word crypto again. But they remain oblivious even though they have gone through several cycles, they should have learned one important thing in the crypto world Price is a disturbance and fundamentals are a foundation. Yes, Bitcoin is an asset with fundamentals even if it drops, it will still recover. This is very different from altcoins especially new coins.
