Agree, and @Theoak, I would you are really mixing up asset classes when comparing Bitcoin with other investment schemes you call "crypto".
Bitcoin is a cryptographic currency. Its role is to act as the world's digital medium of exchange and store of value.
As I have mentioned earlier, the other assets you have mentioned, are more akin to a shareholding in unlisted companies (albeit companies which are very risky, and typically outright scams with zero prospect of long term success). They are shares, represented by "tokens", in ventures/projects, which have not been registered securities, despite US securities law requiring this to be done. They are most certainly not pure currencies, although they do have tokens representing an ownership an a venture, which can be traded. (The main probem here, is that almost all such ventures are absolute BS, or trade at a value no where close to the market cap of the tokens. FileCoin might be a rare exception here, but even there, FileCoin, whist an amazing venture, is certainly not "cheap" by traditional VC valuation standards, although it is one of the most "legit" ventures I have analyzed, represented by electronically tradable tokens).
That is not to say that an investment in art, or gold, or shares or property or unregistered securities or lottery tickets may not be successful. They might well be, especially if you happen to "get lucky". Of all these assets, those where an investor really knows what they are doing, and can add value with their analysis, include property and stocks, less so in gold, even less so in art, and once you get into the "crypto / lottery tickets" you really are kidding yourself if you think you know what you are doing in terms of having any hope of trying to calculate and justify your "investment" on fundamental value (although possibly at a very macro level you can do OK - ie like now, knowing that BTC's rise will float all boats due to scam victims still not understanding how alt promoters schill BTC value into empty alt promises).
The sly part of the alt scam, is convincing innocent suckers that the tokens being issued are somehow an "alternative" to Bitcoin. They are not. Happens every cycle, and every cycle, these "investors" end up eventually getting brutally raped. In terms of BTC's purpose and goals, we are as GetBiggers all much much better off aligning our focus to BTC. United we stand, united we thrive.
