Yea I completely agree. It's just really hard to separate the good from the bad, unless you truly understand the concept. I got into btc completely clueless and have just kinda stayed there as it's familiar.

Up until now most alts has not had other uses than trading (for the most part) , which I'm not into.

Altcoins is a good description for most coins tho, as they bring absolutely nothing new to the table
