They aren't useless but they don't present anything new that would overshadow Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is plenty corrupt and plenty of Pump n dumps... last one was cause of Coinbase actually and their Rick Rolling news.  I wonder if Coinbase tries to grab the lime light again on this little rise.

What's the matter capitalist, the market leaving you butthurt? You don't like the game because other people have more pieces than you do?
Awwww, poor little guy, he still thinks he can win the game! I'm afraid there's no room for you at the top of the pyramid, my child. You will have to remain poor forever.

Harsh reality: If you're not already among the global wealthiest ten percent, odds are high you'll be getting poorer in the coming decades. Automation is a bitch of a thing.
This is the beginning of the end of the nation state and capitalism as we know it. Divesting everything from fiat is your only hope to survive the coming transition.

My sides, that is just amazing, the best version of this is the Minecraft one.

If an altcoin truly had an innovative feature, I am sure it will get adopted in Bitcoin as well.

Not trying to sound ignorant or an ass, but what is Burstcoin?

I couldn't agree more.

Alt coins are hobbies, bitcoin is for real.

What if this was the attitude when people first started using the internet and friends were learning about the first search engine.

Bitcoin needs the competition that altcoins provide to keep it striving to improve. Competition is healthy and highly beneficial to the consumer.

Well, on a second thoughts maybe altcoins have it use after all. Imagine how boring it were to be if we can only trade between btc and usd. Trading does help to make the crypto scene become more livelier, more news event to write about and that's about it. In general I still think it brings more harm than good.
