It may sound harsh and a bit insulting but I agree with you, anyone who keeps comparing bitcoin and altcoins is either ignorant, or has a distorted understanding of cryptocurrency. Because altcoins like ETH, BNB and the rest of the industry have all acknowledged and recognized bitcoin's dominance. They all respect and admire bitcoin, no one dares to object or brag that they are superior or better than bitcoin. But it is puzzling that bitcoin investors like to compare bitcoin with altcoins and create unnecessary debates.
Bitcoin is bitcoin, and altcoins are altcoins, they don't compete with each other and no altcoin dares to compete with bitcoin. Bitcoin will always be the king, the creator of the cryptocurrency industry.
I believe the major reason why some people decide to opt for altcoins, which of course gives the opportunity to make those baseless comparison is because, many people believe that Bitcoin is now to expensive to accumulate and hold, which makes them feel like altcoins are a much better option since they are way more cheaper. But of course we already know that only one who is ignorant would have this perspective of Bitcoin and crypto currency at large.
