Altcoin is indeed riskier than bitcoin, but the potential for profit is higher than abitcoin. If we have the knowledge and experience in making analysis in choosing potential coins to invest in, we can get the profit according to our target.
and bitcoin is still the safest coin for long-term holding, I agree with that.
For short-term investment, investors go for altcoins rather than Bitcoin because they want to be rich soon.
The cause for higher profits is why we have many investors investing in altcoins even though Bitcoin is safer than altcoins. Investors still prefer taking the risk of investing in altcoins because they want to be rich soon, while Bitcoin can't give them that in a short term, instead long term
And I think as time passes by, there are investors that have matured. So they don't just invest on altcoins or meme coins, they all move to Bitcoin now. Nothing is wrong with investing on altcoins or meme coins, but the risk is too high and maybe in the beginning, we all thought that is the route here.
However, majority have lost their money on meme coins and if we look at the current market, altcoin hasn't had the success that Bitcoin has. With that, it's very easy to understand that the best investment is Bitcoin or at least majority of your investment should be with Bitcoin and just diversify with few solid altcoins.
