Investing in Bitcoin ($BTC ) is often considered a better idea than investing in other cryptocurrencies for several key reasons:

Greater security and track record: Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency (launched in 2009) and has proven resilient to attacks, errors, and market changes for over a decade.

Greater adoption and liquidity: It is the most well-known and globally accepted cryptocurrency, making it easier to buy, sell, or use BTC compared to less popular altcoins.

Limited and predictable supply: Its maximum supply is 21 million, making it scarce by design and acting as a hedge against inflation.

Lower relative risk: Although it remains volatile, BTC is less prone to manipulation or technological failures than many young or poorly managed altcoins.

Role as "digital gold": Many investors view it as a long-term store of value, similar to gold, rather than as a currency for daily transactions.
