That's where altcoins are useful.
Bitcoin was supposed to be useful too. Now it has been rendered nothing more than a Ponzi scheme. It has no real purpose other than for more and more people to come one after another to give money to the guys already in. Then BAM!!! a total freefall collapse.
Man, I honestly don't know what to say now because you totally have a point. Most of the time I prefer Litecoins to send money abroad instead of bitcoin because of the fees. However, I cannot say that bitcoin is garbage because I earned millions out of thin air.
