You'd be wrong on both points. If you enter the market with BTC at 40k why would you buy it when there's alts that can outperform it? Is the goal to feel safe watching BTC go up and then DCA'ing on the way down or to make money and take profits?
You need a good entry on BTC to capitalize. If you missed it, don't buy it, play alts. You bought it 60 days ago you're up 37%.
These random ass 30-day 60-day charts with flavor of the month alts that outperform btc are useless. Post a 5-year chart. Where are they and where is btc?
you see it that way cause your sole focus is the short term get rich overnight. people have different goals and all don't need or have the time and risk to put in to get rich overnight. "why buy it when alts can outperform it" There would never be a "good entry point" for someone like you. guarantee you would be the same nikka saying this while BTC was at 500, at 1k, at 4k, 10k, etc. If we all know BTC will be 1 million+ then what is 60k?
That DCA'ing on the way down would have you at almost 2 BTC if you were putting in $100 every week for the last 3 years. That's 100k today. likely to be 1 million in a few years when BTC 10xs from here. from something as simple as setting a weekly recurring buy, you log out, live your life and come back after a few years. While with the alts only approach you had to follow every flavor of the month alt, look at every chart (which is accurate once maybe every 5 or 6 times), every minute of the day, lose money on half of your plays. It's a lot of time and a lot of work. some cats just want some solid returns without all the risk and having to follow 200 different Twitter influencers. BTC/ETH are that.
It's a simpler option thats all. It won't be the one to get you to retirement next year but it will damn sure get you better returns than other traditional investments.
