Talking about potential, why do you guys buy altcoins?  Yeah I understand it could be greed dancing in your mind when you think about gains but anyway, why buy shitcoin rubble when you can simply invest in bitcoin. All shitcoins are guided by the same principle: bitcoin up -> shitcoins up; bitcoin down -> shitcoins down. Why buy shitcoins if you can secure your gains with bitcoin and make the same % you would with a shitcoin except you would shuck additional volatility ingrained in shitcoins.

Bitcoin is first, important cryptocurrency, but it doesn't solve problems many altcoins solve or try to solve, which gives them value.
Currently Bitcoin's main use is pretty much just store of value.

Then, there's the quantum computing threat to all cryptos using ECDSA/EdDSA in signature schemes, projects which are truly quantum resistant are the ultimate future so easy to see value there, I doubt many vulnerable cryptos will survive Y2Q.

That's just my opinion.
