All of the other coins are just plain koolaid teams. If you want to hold something that is not shit then just buy and trade bitcoin. As simple as that.
Folks said the same about Ethereum, look where it is now.
We're still building on top of Bitcoin 1st layer whereas ETH came with that 2nd layer (smart contracts) already built-in.
Also there are exciting projects running on top of altcoins (ETH or NEO). For example Power Ledger and BAT (Brave) are pretty cool projects with interesting prospects. POWR has been praised by Sir Richard Branson even - quite the accomplishment.
