ETH is an altcoin. I hope you know that? So, do you still have that generalization of how shitty altcoins are? Well, imagine all the tokens and even coins that were (and are still) birthed through the ETH contract which has deepened this cryptocurrency industry. Without ETH, this industry wouldn't have gone this competitive. Yes, I know many will argue that the preponderance of altcoins paved way for the many cases of scam in the industry. That's not entirely true. Left with only Bitcoin, I'm cocksure scam in the industry will still exist.

Again, I can bet you that many of those who bad mouth altcoins still have them in their wallets. Altcoins aren't that bad to invest in. It's just that investors should be meticulous while picking ones to invest in. On the short run, altcoins give better ROI than Bitcoin and I guess that's why they keep attracting investments.
