Hi,
New investor since end of november, after the dips and several investments on different alts i got today 1 BTC.
But the thing is that the more i educate myself the more i see its obsolete techonologically speaking.
Currently any of the top 20 coins works better as a coin than BTC, and only value BTC provides its that everyone thinks it has some value.
Could someone convince me with arguments to not sell it when price goes back to 15k€ or 20k $?
Am i missing something? cos currently i do not see myself paying a coke with BTC in 5-10 years maybe with another coin , but definetly not BTC, and gold 2.0? no... gold cant be created and BTC can be forked by everyone so... why it has value at all appart that the value that people think it has?
Regards

None of the cryptos including Bitcoin will have widespread practical use in the next 5-10 years although I heard that some already accept Bitcoin as payments (Newegg).

This is false. By your definition of "works better as a coin", a VISA credit card works better as a coin than any cryptocurrency. Can't beat those cash back reward points et al.
Bitcoin is currently the most technologically advanced cryptocurrency that exists. Is it Turing expressive? No, and for good reason; that would expand the attack surface immeasurably, and at-the-edge computation is fundamentally more efficient and economically sound than mandatory-and-redundant computation. Does it have a dynamic or memory-hard hashing algorithm? No, and for good reason; this doesn't actually prevent mining specialization, it just complicates it and delevels the playing field even worse, long-term. Does it have the lowest fees on-chain? No, because there is actual demand for the necessarily-scarce resource of blockspace (i.e. transaction inclusion or confirmation). Is it easy to rewrite or replace the consensus rules? No, and that is why it is so valuable.
You're very new here, so you haven't had time to learn about the fundamentals, and meanwhile, since we're in the peak of a hype cycle, every altcoin has a fancy sales brochure that their marketing department has been polishing for the past year or two, and you're unfortunately not knowledgeable enough (yet) to tell the "shit from shinola", as Terence McKenna would say.
You seem to be worrying about transaction fees, as if high fees are a bad thing for the prospects of Bitcoin's long-term growth, but that's a backwards perspective if you're evaluating it as an investment opportunity. Ask yourself: why are people still paying those Bitcoin fees, even when they get so high? Then ask yourself: what does that imply about Bitcoin's underlying value?
Decentralized paradigms are messy and confusing, because most of the things you're used to are very centralized (and thus more understandable). You might think that "oh look, altcoin XYZ has hard forked successfully a dozen times this year, and Bitcoin hasn't even managed to hard fork once, so that must mean it's better and more upgraded!" but this actually indicates that altcoin XYZ is not actually decentralized, and not actually immutable, which means that fundamentally, it's not actually valuable in any long-term sense (at least not yet).
Counterintuitive? Absolutely! But counterintuitive (yet valid) conclusions are the norm around these parts. They are Bitcoin's bread and butter.
gold cant be created and BTC can be forked by everyone
Forks of Bitcoin are not Bitcoin, so they don't "make more Bitcoin", they just copy it (and generally "airdrop" their coins to Bitcoin holders, like a stock dividend). Bitcoin will still only ever have 21M real coins (at most), no matter how many forks spin off from it. And in fact, each fork makes us holders (who are holding the real Bitcoin) a little bit richer, because we get the forkcoins for free. This (again counterintuitively) reinforces the real Bitcoin's network effect.
Cuando me refería a que el BTC puede ser forkeado por cualquiera me refería a que cualquiera puede crear su propio BTC o su propia moneda, y esto en el oro obviamente no pasa , no puede venir cualquiera y crear su propio oro con las mismas propiedades.
