Why? Because I can 
Pretty sure though that alts started so that even small time miners could have a chance to mine without investing their whole savings into large farms, and then convert into btc. Now though it seems alts are getting to grow out of control. LTC seems now to be the only reliable alt-coin, but, we'll see what happens this year

yes, I own a lot of LTC... I have no doubt it will cross $100 this year
I own even more NMC just as a high risk high reward investment... it's in the single digits and there's a chance it can boom.

Yes, LTC got them at around $8 each.
Alt coins arent so much a copy-cat coin as much as they are a variant of crypto in some cases. Some Alts improve as each variant is created.
Sure BTC is the original one, and maybe there was one before it that never really took off as BTC did, who knows.
Sure with coingen systems that allow a new Alt at the drop of the hat, some people looking at alts might be cynical.
Reality is that people wanting to get into BTC need to start at a lower rung, as for some, the capital outlay is just too much.
some may use Asic erupters, cpu or gpu on their current pcs and laptops and try and mine an Alt like WDC, DGC, NMC, NETetc(very very slow way but you can get there). then voila they can trade them on exchanges for the mighty BTC. or just buy them off ebay and start exchanging.
i have different coins now due to dabbling in very small scale (laptop/asic)mining and the kids getting in to it.

yes , litecoin as it's one of the only altcoins that is not a scam.
99% of people owning altcoins, premine it, then pump it and hope it goes to a trader, then dump it. The Yukon Gold rush 2.0
The other 1% have noble intentions but mainly fail. Then there is litecoin.
Bitcoin is the only one, you can be the saffest on betting. If it crashes, all the other coins crash along with it it seems.

I own bitcoins, when I first bought them, a year ago, I was thinking of buying LTC too because I had this hope that they were less known and would still go through a higher valuation.
Fast forward an year and I never really bothered
I generaly think of altcoins as copycats/bitcoin wannabes. But a couple of days ago I gave a quick look at LTC price and it had quite a bit jump last november. Could anyone provide a LTC/BTC chart that covers the whole 2013?
Is there any adoption at all of any other coin? I don't think it's very realistic to except to see "Litecoin accepted here" any time soon, let alone other coins.
Do you own any altcoin? Why?
