I agree to an extent but what you did there was compare bitcoin to Ripple , everyone knows that Ripple is a central bank coin and that it has no built in scarcity , to say bitcoin is the only real crypto is to discredit alot of genuine and interesting startups like Dash or Monero or PIVX .... like anything in life the answer isn't black or white , Bitcoin Good, Altcoins Bad ..... its in the grey areas.
