Why Bitcoin is Better than Other Coins

So, back in 2020 and 2025, I was all over different coins that had me jumping through so many hoops just to qualify for airdrops. A lot of them turned out to be scams too. One thing that really got to me was the requirement to recruit friends to register under you. I mean, you needed like 20 to 100 people before you could really get involved. I didn't realize I was just wasting my time and cash on coins that wouldn’t actually bring in any profits. Then I finally jumped into Bitcoin last November 2024, and man, what a difference! The investment landscape is totally different with Bitcoin compared to those other coins. The best part? Bitcoin lets you invest a little at a time using a DCA strategy, so you don’t have to wait until you’re rolling in cash to start. Just have some spare money, and you can dive in and start investing in Bitcoin.

Airdrops have for every long time be a waste of time, the recent airdrops are just looking for users to actually promote me then and nothing more, worst of them are actually those referral based ones. For bitcoin there was nothing like airdrop all I know that the early users got were faucets then from different platforms and this also has died down. I see your post is about how bitcoin has been distinct from other cryptocurrencies but you’re yet to actually even list out why makes bitcoin unique, DCA and buying little is also possible with other Altcoins too and not bitcoin alone so you haven’t list out the unique utility of bitcoin. For me bitcoin is distinct because it is an asset to buy while Altcoins are not

Right from time, it has always been bitcoin, any other digital currency in cryptocurrency are altcoins, which means that they are following after the footprint of what bitcoin serves, but they can't achieve being up to the value of achievement of bitcoin despite their attempts of being noticed, while in some conditions, you will discover on how some newbies couldn't achieve understanding why they needed bitcoin more than any other altcoins in crypto, that is why you can see some not having bitcoin in their portfolio, but running after altcoins for an investment, because they are less informed about what is at stake.

I can actually relate with the airdrop thing, ICO or IEO and their time wasting. Around 2017, it was really a time of trier and error for different projects that entered the market especially through Ethereum Blockchain. Many were intentional to scam people through ICO sells. But little did one know that the real thing is btc amidst wasting money buying some newly listed coins that had no utility. Bitcoin grew from a coin selling below $2,000 at the time and rose to $19k/$21k around early 2018 and now after close to 7 years, we have btc price in 6 digits with 7 digit speculated for 2030.

The crypto airdrop paradise no longer hype anymore, so many projects are scam and there are no guarantee of earning, which make people choose to stop it. The trend is already changed, people now choose to buy random shitcoins, they spent like $10 per coins, so whenever one coin pumped hard, it could cover the whole coins losses, earn profit and a chance to change their life.

Never really been a fan of airdrops and anything that ask for referall especially investments is a scam in my book. I will advice having a source of income because that's where most times you can cough out or have a discretionary income. And to your topic, Bitcoin isn't just preferable it's the best option when it comes to other currency whether digital or traditional.

All cryptocurrency can be purchased using DCA method but what makes using this method for investing in Bitcoin perfect is that you won't be wasting your time when you're accumulating Bitcoin because even though you don't make profit that same year that you were accumulating maybe because it's the bear season, you can still make profits in the future when the price of Bitcoin increases but the same can't be said about altcoins. Altcoins are better with moments when they're being hyped, you get in and out with profits but with Bitcoin, you can give it some patience and it'll reward you with lots of profits.

Airdrops can’t be compared to what you’ll get to achieve when you invest in bitcoin for the long term benefits of it. Airdrops are now a waste of time and effort. Luckily not too many airdrops asks for incentives before you can get to claim them like we saw sometimes recently in the past during the time of telegram based tap game minings. With your little amount of money, if you’ve been able to invest in bitcoin gradually overtime, in a year time, you would have accumulated a lot and also have a chance of making more profits if you’re holding for a more longer time. Bitcoin cannot be compared to any cryptocurrency when it comes to long term prospects, so if you have a way to invest in one, do that as soon as possible and start your bitcoin journey early.

Airdrops? It is still a thing today? Or at least in this bull run? I heard some when there was a hype in the so called tap to earn. But after a few projects became successful and just like it's previous precedence, the hype has die down and there were no more successful airdrops. So I just it's like before, just pure hype and nothing more and people who invested time will not get anything out of it. That's why most of us here advises to just stay away from airdrop. It's no longer 2017 wherein a project airdrop will be worth something. And you are right based on your subject. Just stick to Bitcoin, and if you did in this whole cycle, then obviously you have a lot of profits already either in paper or real if you have sold some at the top price of $123k.

Bitcoin is 100% fair game, you mine bitcoin, you get bitcoin. Unlike some airdrop out there, I don't even think they're worth doing in the first place. They're just scheme and tricks by the developer to hype up their low float coins, nothing more. With bitcoin, you get what you ask for fair and square, as simple as that, even bitcoin has the best security.

Or you stack sats and hold it for a long term, then you make profits, easy peasy. So there are no secret here, no tricks whatsoever, you just need capital, uses DCA and have the discipline to go on for years or at least one cycle. Maybe for some of us OG here, or at least present during the boom of airdrops, it's really worth it. But now it's totally different, scammers also find their way on airdrops and some projects are no longer valuable unlike before in terms of airdrop. There are a revival early this year, but it didn't last that long as people didn't get what they deserve and so they stop completing task as it's not worth their time, as what we are preaching ever since 2018.

The OP is such a genius. If he said that in another forum, it would make more sense, but I think most of us here are either Bitcoin maximalists, or even if some like to play around with shitcoins, they also think that Bitcoin is by far the best cryptocurrency. So, nothing new here. Yes, but it's not as exciting for some as playing with shitcoins, like someone who plays the lottery to see if they can get a 1,000X return in a few months.

If you experience that situation yourself, you certainly know how advantageous and reliable it is to invest in Bitcoin rather than buying new coins to hunt for airdrops. Some beginners might get caught in that situation. But as their knowledge increases, they will realize that buying Bitcoin and holding it is the most profitable way rather than stressing over new coins. Indeed, some new coins can provide significant profits in a short time. But the value of those coins will not last long. As you said, many of them are scams.

You are talking about the time when some people managed to make good money, at that time, ICO news was heard from almost every iron, and you had to be really lazy not to participate in airdrops. But everything passes, and it has become history, but it is noteworthy that we still see people who believe that the past will repeat itself. Sure, if we could invest in Bitcoin, knowing its current price, there would be many rich people, but today's shitcoin lovers are also still many—those who have been around for a long time in the forum but still prefer to participate in bounties instead of finding time to study the usefulness of Bitcoin.

Newbies in the cryptospace will not want to make researches and know which coin is the best for them to invest in that wouldn't be a waste of time. Some of them joined the cryptospace through airdrops and I wouldn't blame them if they wasted their time on airdrops and shitcoins. The more you stay in the cryptospace is when you will gradually know which coin is worth investing and hodli for long. Bitcoin is unique due to her decentralized nature and censorship resistance.

I never wasted my time on airdrops and bounties because, when I get to know about them, it's was already in the messy stage, even the one's that where lounced by well know managers in this Forum never paid well or the project just become a scam. For that reason I focused more on cumulating Bitcoin through DCA approach and in no time I was able to meet some level of assets storage which, if I had wasted that time hustling for bounty I won't end where I I am right now.

I understand that is more "fun", but in reality that is not really that great. It is definitely a boring thing to do, and it's not really that awesome for any of us. Of course shitcoins and that 1000x possibility does make people feel better, because if they are right just once, their 100 dollars will be 100000 dollars, and that could change life forever, and people just throw their money away, like gambling. But it still makes no sense to me, because while there are some people who hit it right, those are very few and in reality majority of people lose all their money, and anytime they try, they lose. This is why you shouldn't really hope for any changes, you should try to make it work like how you would be doing a better job.

The statement " altcoins are Shitcoins" is very correct and you can not expect them to be like Bitcoin because they don't even have the same purpose. Altcoins are just like putting a cold water on the fire and putting out the fire after the water has boiled, the water gets cold again after a few hours. For someone investing in altcoins, you need to know the risk so that it doesn't burn you and if you are careful enough, you can make a big profit too because definitely the coins will pump and if you buy before it's being pumped, you will be lucky but buying after a dump is a situation you would not want to get into.

Airdrops don't work anymore, it should be the least concern for someone that wants to earn from cryptocurrency. Gone are the days when airdrops do worth a good price after participating, it is mostly shit project that market through airdrops. A good project will start by creating utility for their project instead of marketing hypes, and empty promises. Tap to earn came, took the hype and now we don't hear of them anymore. It is never an option to pick short term risk for rewards over long term reward of loyalty, Bitcoin has been over a decade and it doesn't look like what will be dead soon, even in the next decade that is enough reason to invest in Bitcoin.

Most of us don't do airdrops anymore, the hype is done and so I don't know why the OP is still concern about it. It could be free money, but what you are going to received in compensation of your time doing things to get the airdrop? Nothing and so it's not worth it anymore. Yes, that tap to earn? still the same with other failed airdrops, sure maybe the first three was successful, now it's quite but still there are a few who fall for the trick and still on their mobile phone tapping for nothing. Just invest on Bitcoin, although the price might be high for everyone. But if you have some money lying around then invest.
