Why Holding Anything But Bitcoin Has Been a Losing Bet for Two Years

60-second summary

Glassnode and Bybit report shows Bitcoin out‑performing all altcoins for two years, while speculative capital bubbles in the market’s riskiest corners. The data highlights a widening divergence: Bitcoin consistently gains, whereas altcoins experience net outflows and stagnant or falling prices. This pattern suggests investors should prioritize Bitcoin, as broader market risk‑on bets increasingly erode portfolio returns.
