When I started back in early 2020, I "diversified" between Bitcoin, Ethereum and Cardano. I also flipped a handful of tokens shilled on /biz/, and got that Uniswap airdrop thanks to using Metamask.
I sold my alts for Bitcoin a few months later after doing further research, so I actually missed the bullrun where alts shot up in the BTC trade pairing. But I don't regret that. Had I held, I'd probably have gotten hooked on shitcoining.
We're playing the long game
