I strongly belive in this point that Mr. Wozniak raised that, altcoins must give up chasing bitcoin and showing some aspects of bitcoin to create their own identity.
I think we're past that stage already, at least from the technical aspects. People here are the only factor not having adapted to it yet, and I honestly don't know when they ever will.
They constantly fail to understand that Ethereum (to pick the largest altcoin) is not a Bitcoin competitor, and never has been. If it ever surpasses Bitcoin's market cap, it still doesn't mean anything.
Bitcoin's task is purely providing people the very basics of a currency, which it has done since the very beginning, where the rest of the altcoins have to fight for other parts of this industry.
People talk about Bitcoin's scaling issues, but Ethereum's scaling issues are way worse in various aspects. All the pressure from everything running on top of it starts to form an obstacle rather than progress.
