I would never advise people around me to buy altcoins. I would always tell people that the majority of people around you will advise you to buy altcoins, so they shouldn't stop you from buying Bitcoin.
Now while trading AVAX/BTC there was a sudden crash and I stayed with AVAX. I didn't want to sell at a loss and I'm still waiting to get back into Bitcoin.
They forced me to become an AVAX holder. đ
I hope it rises.
