People see this as a good thing that there are different cryptos popping everyday, as this means "acceptance".

i don't really know of anyone who actually thinks this way! i have read random comments on bitcointalk from newbies mostly trolling but everyone with half a brain can see existence of 2000 altcoins that 90% of them have absolutely no reason to exist doesn't mean "acceptance"!

Exactly lol. Since when was new coins and tokens being created fall under "acceptance"? Anyone can create their own token. "Acceptance", from it's literal meaning alone, means more of actual global adoption.

when it comes to altcoins people have always been "bending the definitions" to match their own need so that they can explain the altcoin situation and come up with a better result. for instance one of the definitions that has been bent is definition of a good coin and a coin that survives. people define it as a coin that has a high market cap and gets pumped a lot without paying attention to underlying project and whether it is good or not!

I have seen this happen. The question is asked "what is a good coin to invest in"
and the answers looked for and provided are always very low value coins that
will potentially pump. The details of a project or how usefull it is is not considered.

I agree that altcoins have been used as a stick to beat bitcoin with in the past by the media
and others and its easy because last year for example the majority of people
outside crypto never heard of bitcoin but the ATH has made a lot of people do
their own research so they know more now.
