Altcoins don't have enough power to compete with the top coins and BTC. Useless projects also steal the idea from old projects and behave like they invented this new future feature first in the industry. The marketing tricks don't let us see a clear picture as an investor.
Exactly. That's the unfortunate truth nowadays. Developers are only interested in making money, instead of delivering a working product for the mainstream world to use. We have the situation where most altcoins are simply copies from other prominent cryptocurrencies on the market. Such altcoins become useless over time, because they don't provide unique features from other cryptocurrencies that are higher in market cap.
Still, I believe that as time passes by, people will realize that only Bitcoin and Ethereum are needed. As such, most altcoins will become abandoned while only a select few will remain actively traded on the market. We all know that the crypto space advances at a fast pace. Which is why, cryptocurrencies that are unable to keep up with the competition, will become abandoned for the next big thing in the mainstream world.
Nonetheless, only the top 5 to 10 cryptocurrencies in market cap seem to be the most useful. Others below that, might have some use or no use at all. Hence, having money invested in said cryptocurrencies will give you an advantage in the future. Just my thoughts
