Do not get hung up on one bitcoin, there are still a lot of promising coins with good growth potential, even more than bitcoins. For example, you can look at the EOS, recently growing without stopping and probably will grow even more when the project is completed. Or ADA, or Tezos .... even Waves will make smartcontracts and probably there will be good pump when they go out to the mainet.
All of those projects that you are recommending seems to have some potential and they may grow faster than bitcoin, that is a decent possibility, however you are forgetting that most coins are very dependent on the way bitcoin moves and since bitcoin is not moving in a significant way altcoins are doing the same, this is why many people in the forum are complaining that the market as a whole is not moving much and this has mostly to do with bitcoin and its effects on the rest of the coins.
