Most OGs also started as degens, just with different aesthetics. Many older folks who like BTC look down on everything PoS, and many who prefer traditional altcoins dislike memes, not realizing that BTC was also an outlier among mainstream assets in the beginning.

Telling newcomers to only buy BTC is like telling them years ago to only buy US stocks and not to touch BTC because it’s gambling.
