I've been in these markets almost 7 years now.
And purchased some BTC later on I realized it does not bring good returns.
Sometimes I was way better off holding Bitcoin and sometimes it wasn't.
The importance of Bitcoin in this market is undeniable.
But in terms of a small investor?
I wouldn't go back and change it. Nor would I truly recommend it.
If you already have size in these markets? Then sure.
If you barely spend time in these markets? Then sure.
There are particular scenarios I would recommend it.
But if you don't have size (middle-class) and you want to put in some work?
Then alts are always the way to go.
Sure it's more risky. 100% agreed.
But you're not going to be able to do a lot without taking some risks with a few thousand dollars.
To truly make it, Bitcoin ain't it.
Though Btc is king and a retirement plan.
