Alternate coins are moving quick as a result of their affordability and simplicity to enter the competition. The other coins are moving fast because of their cheapness and easy to enter nature. Think about the bitcoin and any altcoin and you will see that there is no comparison between them at all. In anyway, bitcoin is best with only drawback that very few of us understand the actual use of it and the real world applications of it. Altcoin are just way to get into crypto projects very fast and thus make money out of it. That's why we see lots of people going into the alts rather than bitcoin. Alts comes later on and then they are invested in the want of getting profits. I don't see any point of discussion process here because it is not in the reality. Altcoin are only approach to get into crypto extends quick and in this manner profit out of it.
