My personal frustration that has seriously made me wonder if ai want to be involved in alt coins anymore is the case of Qora. A complete new code that has shown itself to be superior to NXT technically on many levels is completely overlooked because it's marketing is completely lacking. I personally am not technical so you have to go research to know in detail why, I want to put more substance but I'm working secondhand from others I respect. Anyway, I've come to the conclusion that marketing is all that matters and anticipation and convincing of some future time a coin is valuable.

Newsflash, Bitcoin is the only coin that is going to be accepted in the mainstream we are just developing the system that people will use to hold a bitcoin and other assets. Can you imagine as the mainstream gets familiar with Bitcoin then they are told about even the quality coins like Darkcoin and Litecoin, people will just say this is all a joke we can't put our money in this. But people don't care about reality they want to believe in yet another dumb coin with dumb promises.

All I want is a wallet that in a user friendly way can hold my assets, ie Bitcoin, Fiat, precious metals and maybe a few other exotic assets. A bunch of second gen coins can do this now, we don't need any more, it's like having a hundred Facebooks to choose from.

I think the real issue with Alts is that people view features as the new way to get rich like the early bitcoiners did.

This point is something I really agree with. People will be people and if they see a possible way to get rich they will take it. That's partially why Altcoin IPO scams are so successful in conning people out of their hard earned BTC.

Not hard earned but stepped on by a chance. Bitcoin is a fenomena that made lot of stupid people really rich. So they just go and spend their bitcoins like they have no fiat value (they don't see the connection).
