Apparently, it was your choice. Nobody is forcing us on what coin to invest but there is a reason why people mostly choose Bitcoin instead of altcoins, and that because of profitability. Have you make in your mind thinking about investing dead coins, low liquidity, that is something we need to consider and that to find out Bitcoin is too far from the said altcoins.

Of course, you are saying Bitcoin is just owned by a few people. And that because only a few people want to choose it either rather than to keep local money, investing on bonds and runs a traditional business.
