But one cant help feel with the amount of altcoins and other projects now that new commers into crypto simply feel its pointless to start becoming interested in the technology and bitcoin itself and the Satoshi story.
Not at all. There actually is only a handful of altcoins, possibly less than 5 that actually have some "technology" and aren't vaporware. The rest are copycats and useless. Anyone who checks out the altcoins under the hood instead of just looking at their prices would realize it soon enough.
Besides, when newcomers enter this world they don't really know about altcoins. In almost all cases they only know about bitcoin then they sometimes are bombarded by shitcoin advertisement. If they simply ignore the ads they wouldn't have any problem knowing bitcoin.
