Money is worthless no matter what. Therefore, even if the money was in bitcoin, it would be worthless. Inflation will still happen. Because traders never sell their goods at a loss.
If no one sells at a loss, prices will not fall much. Don't sell it for free! Hold on, wait, be patient! Money is not easy to earn, remember inflation, do not sell at a loss!
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.
