There are a lot here who will vehemently disagree with you on that, owing to their bitter experiences from hodling for longer than necessary.
The problem is that newcomers think that just because these shitcoins are categorized the same (all including bitcoin are cryptocurrencies) and since bitcoin has gone up then they should too. But they forget that going up in value only occurs if they are providing a useful utility which none of them are. So all we have in altcoins is pump and dumps and when their price goes up since their value is still low it becomes a bubble which has to burst hence the follow up dump.
In fact this way of newbie thinking is the main reason why these shitcoins get pumped in short term.
