This poll will never give you accurate results because of the following reasons:
- The title that seems to be asking a leading question.
- The fact that bitcoin only is just one option in the poll.
- The fact that this is in the newbie section. I understand this may be by design. You just want noobs to vote. But it doesn't give you the true picture of the community as a whole. Of course noobs are going to get into alts because a) they're obsessed with mining b) everyone is telling them the bitcoin boat has sailed.
Finally this:
Help me change the poll. What option would you add without adding every altcoin in existence (the poll would be too long and always incomplete).
The most obvious option is "I came here for bitcoin but later got interested in alts too". 98% will vote for that option.
You're right. That is by design. I didn't want people to feel pressured to vote for Bitcoin simply because they are at a Bitcoin forum. Nonbelievers here can be attacked pretty severely for their lack of Bitcoin faith. This place is worse than a Linux forum. Have you ever attempted to say you use Windows at a Linux forum. You may as well slit your own throat.
No, "I came here for bitcoin but later got interested in alts too" won't work. I don't want ANY old Bitcoin users to skew the vote. I already know how many old users are into alts. Their posts are in the alt coin subsection. I don't want to know what they did "later". I want new people with just a few posts to tell me why they registered. If you voted please remove it because you are skewing the results.
It's a false assumption that 98% of the current members of this forum are interested in altcoins.
