Literally if bitcoin rises altcoins follow suit but this is the only reason i see that makes potential investors to invest in Bitcoin.
Well, that's how the market works. Bitcoin goes up, so do altcoins and vice-versa. Is it a bad thing that the market turns out to be like that?
There is no other interest as they feel its unsafe to store value or wealth, cant be used for p2p transactions and it cant be trusted to hodl for long.
Store of value? Did Satoshi say that Bitcoin is a store of value? No, but investors did. Are altcoins being unsafe? Probably most of the altcoins, but don't generalize to the point that even those top market cap altcoins are considered unsafe to invest as well. Can't be used for P2P transactions? If I bought Ethereum for you, using our fiat currency and you accepted it, isn't that called a P2P transaction? Can't be trusted to hold for too long? Completely disagree with this. I've been holding Ethereum for quite some time, and I don't see any problems holding it for a long time. I can also say that Bitcoin can't be trusted to hold for long-term, but I'd be a hypocrite if I said that because I've been holding too as well.
If you think there is any other reasons that makes investors put their money in altcoins feel free to share. I would love to know.
Some investors believe in some altcoin projects thus, they're investing, and holding into it. Yes, quick profit is one of the reasons why we invest in altcoins, and that's the main goal of an investor, right? To make a profit. We invest to make profit whether it would be altcoins, or Bitcoins or whatever asset it is.
