I guess that's where I'm missing out.  I haven't looked at anything but btc and eth because they have more of an illusion of stability.  I like what crypto currency in general is trying to do and of course enjoy messing with the hardware and the attempt to be a part of something that most people won't spend the time to try to understand.  And of course I'm interested in making a little profit while I'm at it.  My girlfriend's explanation to her dad when he asked what I was building my rig for was "Oh, he spent a bunch of real money so that he can earn fake money."  Lol.
