Understand, but don't agree. Many coins are mined not minted (Eth was not PoS, Etc remained PoW). BCH is PoW and it is a fork of BTC. XMR are mined. So these are examolples of PoW. XMR and many others are the same as BTC regarding decentralizasion. So there is no Foundation behind them. Eth has a Foundation, it's ok. But if you want to look after the BTC, only 5 person has the admin right of the source code. And there is a couple of developer decides what BIP will be the part of the next improved protocol, and what BIP will be ignored. See the Bitcoin soft fork and hard forks in 2017, eg BTC-SV, the mentioned BCH and so on. On the other hand there is no foundation behind XMR, Zcash, Litecoin, Dash. These are coins. Other assets, mainly utility token works with a company behind, but there is normal, because these are utility tokens (e.g. Ripple XRP, Stellar Lumens XLM and so on). And infrastructure tokens have companies or fundations behind. Because these tokens provides services. Some others has not any foundation behind (ETH forked ETC for example). But remember DAO's too (and the first DAO hacker 😁).

And in the other hand PoW is vulnerable too. See e.g. 51% attack. The Chinese mining farm already has 51% (even Antpool and F2 pool belongs to the same company, the Bitmain). If the Chinese wants, changes the lrotocol as they want and you can not do anything against them. So your BTC can worth zero if somebody wants to exploit the 51%. And you can count many other vulneabirities.

So please do not forget these things when you say BTC is a full freedom, and other assets (not only) doesn't provide freedom and these are shitcoins just because not Bitcoin.

Oh, I 💯 agree there are some excellent coins out there in the 1%... you mentioned Monero, which I think is an amazing coin.. decentralised, fully anonymous and also mined, the FBI have had a bounty out to crack that coin for years. Also the folks you mentioned all improve on bitcoin (on its own) weeknesses in some way.

Like I said, buy these coins, use these coins, speculate on these coins.. just don't hold them thinking they are going to be the next bitcoin. Bitcoin with the Lightning network has the global exposure that no other coin will get. Bitcoin is King and always will be in my humble opinion 🫡

Absolutely agree. Bitcoin have 5 years advantage, and will be at the 'st place forever. I use others for speculation, trade manually and with trading bots and so on. Some of them good not for just BTC/USDT or xcoin/USDT but e.g. BTC/ETH.

And there are some advantage of newly listed shitcoins on an xchange. But you have to have fast hand. When it is strted you can buy it for nearly an entry price whitin 5-10 seconds. And you have to sell it within 30-40 seconds. You have to earn 100-1000%. But it is so risky.

An another was when Elon Musk announced to like Doge. Then everybodí was crazy to buy Doge. I have "invested" to Dogelon Mars (ELON) instead (but unfortunately USD100 only). This was only a game, wheter if... 2 days later the USD100 was increased to USD1800. It was success. Now it is worth USD4-500, so I could cry over the spilt milk that I've made only 400% instead of 1700%. It is gambling with shitcoins.

But seriously: you have to believe the math only, not the government. This is a kind of "freedom".

So I appreciated to agree that we agree with each other
