If you're disciplined, you absolutely can get more BTC from trading shitcoins.

You can yes.. buttttt but most ppl dont. Most ppl dont take the time to really understand how hard it is to trade something that is rigged against you to begin with. All exchanges know tour stop losses and marks and all sooo yes some will get really lucky but most will loose their life savings because of greed
The risk involved is not worth it in comparison with the peace of mind you get from just stacking sats and working a honest job and creating value in reality.
Sure it sounds great if you would have put a $200 into Shiba INU shitcoin on day one, but do you think the IRS wouldn't hunt you down around the world for 80% of the profit? The rest will be legal fees.
