I personally feel that some so called copy paste alts are now better then BTC (being more freely developed), though despite bold claims I've not seen yet any real innovation in written from scratch alts.
I think if the bitcoin idea came after these so called 2.0 etc coins, people would be hailing bitcoin as the most innovative.
However its 'currency' people seem to think its like a mission to mars and most so called innovative alts are just adding complication, which is more a barrier to entry.
At the moment it terms of use as a currency people may be surprised to see that shells are more widely adopted as a proper currency then any crypto
