I think this year will be the bullish year of alt-coins, because of bitcoin's hard fork fight everyday, bitcoin makes bitcoiners miserable, fortunately we have alts.
Meh. I think we are at a point in a recurring pattern, that can be observed here:

Maybe I am totally off, but that looks like a pattern to me.
If it is, we will have a few weeks of altcoin frenzy ahead of us, followed by a slow and painful bear market. Once BTC spikes again in a year or so, it is time to stock up on all the goodies. I think that's how I will keep it next winter, see how it turns out. Sitting on bitcoin has never been the worst option. But, to be completely honest, at least in parts I want to trade just to have fun. But I don't need my whole stack for that.
I totally agree with you, but my fear is just the number of people that are going to be bagholders of this shitcoin.
