Stop calling state of the art cryptocurrency "altcoins".
You're right. They should be called crap or shitcoins
.Bitcoin is not special and shouldn't be treated as "the one". Thus: stop using the word "altcoins" and replace with "cryptocurrency" which puts Bitcoin side by side with the so called "altcoins".
Bitcoin is special. It's the alt coins that aren't. I think one could come along that is equally as revolutionary as bitcoin but I haven't seen anything get close yet.
Bitcoin is one of the few crypto where people from real life would accept it as payment.
I can't see it happening for other altcoins now.
This is the biggest downfall of altcoins, sorry, cryptocoins. If there's little to no merchants accepting them then as a currency they're doomed. That's why I think it's best just to stick with bitcoin and all these niche coins like sexcoin and weedcoin etc are pointless.
