There is a vote about the top altcoins.
The Ethereum has about 14% of the votes. The number 2 is Monero has 7%. It is quite usual to see so many ETH supporter
i don't really understand who in his right mind would choose ethereum as a good altcoin when there are many better coins.
of course this is unless they are getting paid to choose ethereum as their vote!
It seems most people think differently from your thoughts.
That could be due to the fact the Ethereum is quite unique as it is not a clone of bitcoin.
