There is always this rush to invest in an asset because, people have seen what Bitcoin has done. There are those that certainly met it on the rise, way early and could have easily being among its pioneers but, they chose to wait on the sidelines and Bitcoin did its thing, pumped to a point that, buying now makes them feel cheated.
Most of these forks would easily jump into just any project today without doing proper research and that would be a huge mistake. Research is very important when trying to make investments, you need to be sure the developers have a plan that you can foresee as well and have a criteria to help you decide if a project is worth investing in or not.
Thjs isn't about Bitcoin, if Bitcoin has made alot of investors money they will not be chasing other quick investment but will be committed to Bitcoin but most of them are concerned about quick return rather than what the investment can offer in product or a growth. I see no reason why someone will be running after something you know will not give you what you want but greed has a way it makes people blind when it comes to decision making.
An investment doesn't have to be Bitcoin alone, I have seen some stock like Nvidia become one of the most successful stock due to AI boom and it's not related to crypto. You can make investment on Bitcoin and have some good investment on the other hand. There is nothing bad but if you must do, don't chase quick profits and ways to short term return. The idea of quick profit from crypto is going to become a thing of the past very soon.
