Most investors lose money on Bitcoin because they enter without a rules-based system. Layer 1 assets are base networks, so they often move with broad crypto cycles and liquidity conditions. Alpha Factory classifies Bitcoin as medium to high risk. The goal is to make BTC decisions repeatable across bull and bear conditions.
