People just want their coins to overtake bitcoin meanwhile they don't have any project that will improve the lives of people. Bitcoin came and solved the basic problems people were facing regarding slow transactions, the possibility of double spending, the outrageous charges by the middlemen and so on. Projects whos wish to overtake bitcoin should rather work hard towards the development of their own product. As of now the price of bitcoin affects almost every other crypto.
Indeed. That's the thing about people nowadays and users who easily believe about these issues probably lacks searching and observation ability or maybe they are taking advantage of what's happening to bitcoin these past few days.
