You have to be more active in order to pick and choose the right coin to invest your money. It's not in our position to dictate the
tempo, it's more on the hypes and success of each project.
Am not trying to say any altcoin can stand as a competitor with Bitcoin at the moment but what am trying to put out is the fact that altcoin has provided a better alternative to Bitcoin.
And solving the scalability problem so there are so. many altcoins easily pick along with Bitcoin any time the market makes some positive or negative movement.
I see your point and I fully understand, there's no competition indeed bitcoin will remain as a king but likewise, there are many alternative coins to choose to add to your basket and wait till the market rise back and bring that huge pump that will let us enjoy harvesting the profits that we desire. The market for alternative coins is wide.
It's more about doing your own research and analysis in order to pick the right one and enjoy your investing / trading participation.
Your money, your obligation to deal with studying the potentials of your chosen coin/s to invest your money.
Exactly my point one needs to make adequate research about the coin you want to invest in, and if you check very well you will easily see the potential coins that can easily earn you good profits.
But again even though altcoin provides a better alternative to Bitcoin it is still more reliable to invest in Bitcoin rather than a highly volatile alt.
