Anyone who ignores alts as inferior is very shortsighted, and has missed a ton of profits. Likewise it would be silly to ignore bitcoin, though the faster they make changes to decrease fees and make it more scalable the better. None of these are good as currencies, except tether, because they are too volatile. I see them more as small cap stocks or commodities.. fixed supply with varying demand.

exactly, i'd like to swtich to ltc and eth for a while and when a fork occurs and the market decides a winner, i'll switch back to btc.

By then it will be too late to purchase BTC. If anyone of the chains emerge as the clear winner, then the prices will rapidly rise upwards. Remember what happened to ETH, after it won the battle against Ethereum Classic. But if both the chains remain alive without a clear winner, then the alts will gain. There is a strong chance that the market cap of ETH will overtake the combined market cap of BTC and BTC Classic

As to me, there is no such chance

Since you are mentioning the market cap and you seem to be serious at that, it pretty much means that don't have a clue what's going on (no offense intended). Ethereum market cap has risen simply because most tokens are now frozen for the coming ICO's (you can see them in numerous signatures across the forum), so only a small fraction of coins gets traded, which allows to boost the price via market manipulation and then claim insane market cap. But when these ICO's start failing and falling (which is almost a certain), all these locked coins will be sold driving the price to where it belongs, i.e. at the floor level. And that may well happen even before August 1st
