Help Rehabilitate a BTC Maxi

Hello r/CC, I’m u/MurkySide750 and I have a confession to make. Despite being around the sub for a while the only crypto I’ve ever bought is BTC (I don’t consider myself a Maxi though and won’t try and recruit you to the cult, I promise!)

I got into crypto for the same reasons as a lot of people; distrust of banks and the fiat system and the reality that I’ll never own a house or jump up a class without doing something radically different with my money.

I bought and continue to buy BTC because it’s the biggest, oldest and most established brand in crypto. It’s decentralised and doesn’t have a figurehead.

Almost all the numerous scams, failures and Ponzis in crypto come down to a single failure point; humans. For that reason I’ve been drawn to the legend of Satoshi and had a natural mistrust of every other crypto project.

However I’m open minded enough to know my approach is not optimal.

Should I diversify into ETH?

Can Vitalik help me get over my trust issues?

Should I allocate a small amount to moonshots or seek out utility in projects such as MATIC?

What has drawn you to projects outside of Bitcoin?
