Even if certain altcoins outperform btc in the next cycle, do you really want to play a game of 24/7 speculation, staring at screens for 18 months where you try (and most likely fail) to pick tops and bottoms? These traders are full of shit and not a reliable source of information. Grifters of the highest order.
You'll find most are salty they missed out on btc in its early years and trying to make up for it by pumping small cap garbage and bs narratives.
No shit coin is touching btc and the gap will expand further into the future. From a price point its not a matter of if btc will touch 6 or 7 digits but when. Which shit coin can say the same?
The issue is, BTC is already at 5 digits. If it goes to 6 digits, say $100k, that's only a 2.67x from here. Someone dumping $10K in BTC now won't see life-changing gains if it goes to $100k. Let's say it goes to 7 digits, or $1 million. That's a 26.79x from here. That turns the $10K into $267,952. Still not life-changing. You can't retire on that.
Meanwhile, a Shiba Inu trader for a brief period turned a $8,000 investment into $5.7 billion! Sure, there's no way he could cash that all out. But he definitely could have cashed out millions.

Each transaction was worth approximately $586 million, totaling about $2.3 billion.
