No, that's an inaccurate depiction of my motivations or my views. I'm a technologist by nature and by training and I think of these other L1s as having a fundamentally different purpose from BTC. BTC is the preeminent store of value but ETH, SOL etc. are a "store of state": a way to have global shared uncensorable state. That's valuable in and of itself (censorship resistant state, decentralised value provision), independent of whatever the price of the altcoin is. You'd hold these altcoins not as a store of value, but as a utility token to pay to perform transactions on-chain.
The vast majority of people are interested in shitcoins because "number go up", but that hasn't really been my motivation; in any case I have owned BTC for almost a decade now :)
Don't worry about darthcoins garbage posts. I'm sorry to say that while this community is very open to most discussion, if you mention that you use other coins than bitcoin you will be called less than human, and worse.
Pay them no mind. They're just fools reveling in the burning of witches. You're fine being multicoin. I am as well, it is impossible for me not to be because I work with cryptocurrency. I'm subscribing to you so I can keep an eye on if these silly maximalists start with their nazi "root out the non-believer" speeches, I'll be there.
You are very welcome on this site :)
