Why not mention others as well? Puma Pay is a token from the 2019/era, why are you still into this altcoin today? Most old altcoins will get abandoned, this is how things go around in crypto space, the only old tokens you should have are the biggest ones like BNB, Polkadot, Polygon and few others, focus more on brand new altcoins with good team and when a bull market comes, dump all of them, wait for another bear market and buy Bitcoin with most if that money.

It's a fact that Bitcoin is the best but you can also grow your Bitcoin stash more faster with altcoins, I still prefer not putting all my eggs in one basket, if you diversify you only need one or two altcoins to do insanely well, and if you have ten altcoins it's impossible they all go wrong.

Bitcoin will always be my end goal, it's the number one coin that I want to keep for years but having 2 BTC now is almost impossible, but altcoins can get me there faster in a bull market, improve your altcoin hunting skills, and make sure you always take profits.

Very few options in crypto market are worhtful to be held. We can't generalize every altcoins as shitcoins, because some of them are thriving side by side with Bitcoin for a long time already, like Ethereum, for an example, which offers the most popular chain for crypto developers to create their own concepts and projects. However, without any doubts, Bitcoin should be your first alternative when thinking about crypto investments and the cryptocurrency you should destinate the largest percentage of your bankroll for holdings. I would say 80%-90% of crypto holdings should be in BTC currency.

I am one who has experienced this too. I have lost a lot of money investing in altcoins. Maybe I am not fit to deal with altcoins or it is not for me. Because others are still making profits out of altcoin investments, but for me, I am way past that. I literally have no faith in altcoins anymore. Altcoins are like a trend. It is good as long as it stays. And suddenly one day it fades away. Then the project is dead.

Now I only hodl Bitcoin. It has been here for a long time and it will stay. As history repeats itself, we will be able to see the same thing over and over and benefit from it. That's why I always choose Bitcoin. There are other things such as security, safety, decentralization, and other stuff. But I think everyone knows that already. So let's not talk about that here. So yeah, in terms of HODLing, BTC should be the first choice for everyone.

You shouldn't dwell on regrets, as what has happened is already in the past and cannot be changed. Instead, focus your attention more on Bitcoin than other crypto as many of them, as you mentioned are considered "shit coins." To be honest, Bitcoin is the dominant force in the market and the strongest crypto.

I won't deny that I hold various other crypto on my CEX, but I don't often invest in them anymore. Lately, I've been primarily investing in Bitcoin and holding it for the long term.

You know what they say ‘hindsight is 20/20’, meaning it is easy to look at the past and think I should have done that or I should have avoided doing this, but at the end sometimes the only way to learn is by making those mistakes on your own, this is why I consider a strategy to manage your money as key for your success, as even if you make mistakes, those mistakes will only produce small losses and most of your capital will be intact once you finally have learned the lessons necessary to become profitable.

I think you are kind of wrong but some what correct.

There are more than 1 POW coins that are worthwhile.

I made more profit on Doge than any coin including BTC.

But the truth is there are over 9000 coins at the moment and 8000 maybe 8500 are garbage .

I peg about 10 pow coins with a bit of value and possibly ripple which is a pos coin.  The others are fairly trash including eth.

But each of us have an opinion and we are able to voice them freely here on bitcointalk thanks to theymos.

the theory would be if crypto succeeds BTC will certainly be the leader and should hold price well and grow over the next 10-20 years.

The only  POW algo that can really challenge BTC sha256 algo  is LTC/Doge Scrypt  and if it does well it can last for the next 100 years or more due to the structure of Doge payouts.

Most other coin are bs especially Eth which is basically an unregulated bond run by one guy.

For me as I am a bit older I do 3 coins

BTC + LTC + DOGE.  based on the hardware that mines them is very solid and there is a lot of it.

I agree with that, we have to be realistic in looking at possible future profits.
No investment will make you rich overnight, I realized that when I lost money on stupid coins that I had saved and hoped would make me rich.
Meanwhile, Bitcion is proven, and there is no reason to doubt it after seeing what has happened in the past.

These are some of the top Altcoins with a strong community, so they are quite safe, but in terms of profits or price movements, they are the same as Bitcoin, which are not much different, in fact they are quite in line with Bitcoin's movements. That is still a good thing unless you choose a new Altcoin that is only currently Hype is talked about and then hopes for big profits.

You should probably be aware that most altcoins are not worth considering in your long-term investment portfolio - but some may be worth considering. This is intended so that you don't just focus on one particular asset, including bitcoin, because basically several altcoins are expected to continue to experience regular development and even have the potential to get more use cases in the future.

I don't mind if some of us have some of these altcoins in our portfolios - but bitcoin should be a larger percentage of altcoin owned. The intent and purpose are the same ^{[expect returns from him]} - but bitcoin tends to feature more innovation than altcoin.

Yeah menh regrets never make anything better it just worsen this case of everything and always put you on a down spirit because you Begin to wonder why you really did or took the decision you took without thinking of way forward to actually solve the problem at hand. Well investing in other coins are at very risk but what's life without risk as life itself is a risk and I think only risk takers actually make it in life but however it's important to be wise when risking so I just buy or rely on this altcoins when the bull market comes because at that time it's easy to make significant amount of profits from some these altcoins that tend to follow up Bitcoin in the uptrend of the crypto market
