I think you're right if you're the little guy. You can seriously change your life with alt coins without having to invest millions of your own money in a business or taking out loans to start one.Imagine investing in Bitcoin when you could have put your entire net worth into $PEPE. Even $DOGE has outperformed Bitcoin considerably in the past year.
If you're going to go for broke in the incredibly risky crypto space, meme coins are the way to go. The risk is massive but outsized gains will only be made in meme coins at this point.
If you're a fat cat I think BTC would be the better way to go at this point. An absolute metric crap ton of institutional money is going to BTC. Blackrock, Greyscale, Tesla, ect, ect, ect....
It's not going away this cycle and with the President elect's messaging, it's here for the next 4 years at least. I'd get ready for another 4 years of eating the liquidy sour shit sandwich of the anti BTC/blockchain crowd if that is you're position.
