This is an extremely ignorant statement.  There's a solid chance whomever wrote this has an agenda in mind and is just trolling or doing something to that extent.

You don't have to be rich to buy *fractional shares* of bitcoin.  You can purchase .000001 or .001 or whatever, and there's no need to be rich.  Bitcoin is a legitimate cryptocurrency where as these altcoins and shitcoin are just way you say, shit.  I mean thats not saying you can't make money with them, but they aren't legit.

I would NOT listen to OP here, they don't know what they're talking about or just spreading FUD

Have you done your own research on what you are saying? Because after I did some research when I was new to crypto and also after the previous Bitcoin cycle that had reached ATH, the average highest income was in Bitcoin and the average who often experienced scams were people who were too trusting of the new shitcoins. So in conclusion, Bitcoin can be suitable for any investor without limiting certain groups to the amount of their funds (rich or poor) because Bitcoin can be purchased by anyone in very small amounts.

While the altcoins and shitcoins that you suggest are temporary projects that sometimes do not have the potential and continuous development in the future so that they can be vulnerable to losses for their holders and that is something I have seen in the past where there are many altcoins that cannot rise and continue to experience price declines when Bitcoin does not increase well in the market. This means that we can say that the good or bad trend of the crypto market is very dependent on the good or bad increase in the price of Bitcoin so that in terms of crypto it seems inappropriate to say that Bitcoin is bad or only suitable for certain people (rich).

You think of Bitcoin as a way to get rich quick, but you are ignoring the fundamental functions of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a currency, and it should be treated as such. If you think you would like to gamble with your money, then you should probably invest in some shitcoins and hope that it goes up.

Bitcoin should ideally be a stable currency overtime without much fluctuation. Ideally we wouldn't want to have Bitcoin increase and decrease in it's value wildly but having a more stable valuation as time goes by. If you treat cryptocurrencies as your get rich quick scheme, then I would advice you to not waste your time as well.

I could see why you'd say that but think about it this way, bitcoin is continuing to grow in popularity as time goes by and we all know how it is when it comes to popularity, the demand for that popular thing increases and when the demand goes up, you'll definitely going to see the price skyrocket to heights that you or anyone ever previously expected to get to that point, although I do agree that bitcoin is for rich but I think that it's still as accessible to everyone as it was back then, maybe the value isn't there but hodling is going to be your friend so I wouldn't say that it's not that good of an investment anymore, also make sure to not risk too much money in altcoins because even if you pair it with all of the research you've got, it wouldn't matter if the altcoin devs did a rugpull or it's just not what your research showed to you.

In general, you can invest anywhere because it's your money and as long as you know what you're doing with your money. If you want fast, high profits then altcoins will obviously suit your taste better, but don't forget that high profits come with high risks.
Most people here will choose bitcoin although the profits will sometimes not be as big as alts bring but one thing is for sure it is much safer. It depends on each person's preferences because I believe people here are also investing in altcoins but it won't take up too much of their portfolio .

By the way, bitcoin is for everyone, even the poor because you can invest in it with any amount of money you have. But if you are looking to get rich quickly with little capital, it is true that bitcoin cannot give you that.

Crypto currencies were actually intended to be the people's currency. Records were to be kept in a way that was decentralized, distributed and immutable. The entire network was transparent and open for inspection as part of the architecture of trust.
No matter how good your timing is, it's never going to be perfect even in Bitcoin, Altcoin, or any other crypto. Day will come you'll regret getting into rising coins late and holding into sinking ones, exploring can be but be cautious and smart at the same time, we may have different views, but we are all beneficiaries of blockchain technology

I share your opinion, the OP created a bunch of low value content, and he obviously thought that he would achieve something with it - now that he realized that there was nothing from it, he suddenly changed his mind about BTC. Just one more in a series of those who thought that Bitcoin is a magical money that rises at least 10% every day and in a month you are a rich man.

We should ask him what he thinks about altcoins in a month or two when he becomes aware of pump&dump schemes.

But, Bitcoin = crypto.

This is a good comparison. The early buyers have got the edge to make more profit than the new ones that are shrimps to the market and have lesser amount to invest on Bitcoin. But if it's with bulk amounts like more than 0.01BTC, they're part of those investors that are likely to make some profit with a few thousands of move. And just as the stock market, there are a lot of choice there but they've got lesser volatility. The volatility that bitcoin has got will become lesser as time passes by. For the assurance of someone who wants to make money in the long run, Bitcoin is still a good choice as it's the blue chip stock of the whole cryptocurrency market. Also to compare the past prices of Bitcoin, we'll never have an idea on how high it will be.

The real money is in Bitcoin, its market cap size and its influence over altcoins' price prove that. It's also not for rich investors but it's for those who want almost guaranteed profit with a normal ROI range like 500% on average. If you want to buy a coin that will bring you 1000x profit, then Bitcoin is not really for you but you need to be super lucky to find such a coin. These days, only meme coins achieve that level of return on investment and buying them is risky as hell.
P.S. Besides investment option, Bitcoin is a currency, a payment method, one of the decentralized cryptocurrency with the highest level of adoption and usage, this is the reason why Bitcoin receives hype on this forum.
P.P.S. this is a Bitcoin forum, Bitcointalk.
