I agree with the sentiment, but not your conclusion. The Alt-coin game is a 90/10 mixture of people trying to print their own money, and a few coins that have actual 'improvements' in them, even though Bitcoin works just fine. Maybe 90/10 is too generous, 98/2 might be better. But either way, a FaceCoin etc. would do one thing well: drive people to crypto-currencies that don't currently use it. Mass adoption through any means is only going to help us in the long run, IMO.
