Bitcoin is undoubtedly the best coin to HODL for the long-term, it's has proven to have stood the test of time and have been tested and trusted. That's why people who consider Bitcoin for its long-term trajectory and potentials and are not swayed or distracted by the short-term fluctuations are mostly often in profits, while the result may be different for different people, at least we can boldly say that majority are in profit, except of course they try something silly along the line.
Shitcoins or altcoins on the other hand are mostly considered for their short-term potentials, they really do not mostly have long-term potentials, and the odds of knowing which has long-term potentials are pretty slim, so this type of investment are mostly profitable to the early investors who manage to take out their profits before the project is dumped, because further delay could result to unimaginable losses.
Agree with you, Bitcoin is the best coin in the market, aside being the first ever coin created by Satoshi Nakamoto, it has gained quite a good reputation for itself, and that is why people gets interested in cryptocurrency in the first place. The most fascinating part it that, Bitcoin is still profitable even till today, so we have both reputation and assurance of profit especially on long term were you'll stay relaxed and see the value of your coin grow over the years. Comparatively some altcoins have also built quite a good reputation for themselves and can be good for long term investment but majority are not doing well and could end up becoming a shitcoin.
Indeed, while what you've said is all true, it's such a shame that many investors who come into the crypto space allow their eyes to be blinded by the these shitcoins and their promises of instant profitability, due to misinformation, ignorance, impatient and sometimes greedy, they often neglect the potential risks associated with shitcoins, maybe due to FOMO, investors' sentiments and market hype, they go for these projects without first doing their due deligence and obtaining the necessary knowledge and information concerning the project.
Due to the reason of seeking after quick profits, many investors fail to see the security and profitability that Bitcoin has to offer to its investors, because many people who come into the crypto space, though theybknow about Bitcoin but believes that Bitcoin is too expensive to afford or invest in now, so they feel going for much lower prices coins would be a lot more viable option and would provide more positive results for them.
