Is there anything better than all the millionaire stories that already exist about people who bought bitcoin when it was obscure and now each coin is worth $45,000?  This singlehandedly is the reason there are so many garbage alt coins and why so many people buy those garbage alt coins.  An unpleasant fact for crypto is that the number of people who actually care about it as a technology or a currency is very few, and people only care about it as far as it making them rich quick.  Getting rich quick is the point of 99% of alt coins and the reason people buy them.
