While they may be in direct competition now, altcoins may eventually find their own niche an work in accord with Bitcoin, with each performing its own specific role in the market. For instance, smaller transactions for Brick and Mortar stores could utilize Litecoin or Dogecoin, while Bitcoin could be used for larger or interstate payments. For untraceable transactions, we can have Monero, and Etherum would be the go-to currency for smart contracts.

I would say yes. Rather than the projects that are already listed on exchanges. Many of the projects you can find on Coinmarketcap are from the pre ICO times where there was just an announcement that on day X there will be start of mining of that coin. Usually the creators premined some of the coins and the rest was just mined out by users. Then trading started and the price discovery process had begun.
Then we have projects that had an ICO but are now listed for an iteration of the offering price. What I am trying to say is that in terms of the projects that are already being traded it's hard to value them. If the Ripple coin was worth 200 million dollars just 2 months ago but now it's worth 5 or 8 billion, it does not mean that this value is backed by some strong fundamentals. It's the last trade price multiplied by the number of tokens. Think of traditional stock exchanges.

Yes of course. I see that it's a reliable and profitable coin:
-Potentially revolutionary technology with the potential to impact a whole spectrum of industries
-Amazing dev team. Read their blog posts and check them out on Github, Gitter and Reddit. These guys are on the edge of the state of the art.
-Great upcoming Dapps (decentralized apps, essentially businesses that use Ethereum for core fuctions): betting with Decentralized Prediction Market | Augur Project going into beta soon, big hype for Slock.it's upcoming crowdsale, super ambitious mammoths like pseudo-bamk Maker, incorporate on the blockchain using Incorporate with Otonomos - Online Company Formation and Governance.
-Making waves in the established industry: Microsoft offers Ethereum as a blockchain-as-a-service, IBM's in the game too, MIT teams are doing active research and even proposing their own alternatives (Lisk - Decentralized Application Platform)
-The second biggest market cap after Bitcoin only, and one of the most popular cryptocurrencies ever in terms of volume and buzz.
Conclusion: worth it (IMO).

Whether one should invest in bitcoin or not depends on whether you think Bitcoin will become a long-term trusted store of value.
If it does become a long-term trusted store of value, BTC should trade around $2,000,000 a coin (depending on how many coins are lost and are actually in circulation). That is over 100x the price of where BTC is today. If BTC does not become a long-term trusted store of value, its likely price will be close to zero (unless it becomes a "cool" collectible... which is a possibility).
So if you think BTC has a 10% chance of becoming a long-term trusted store of value, it is a good investment with a nice expected return. It is still very risky but professional investors should invest some small portion of their portfolio in this case.

For me I'll take a thorough look at the coin market now, BTC has witnessed dramatical changes through the last few months. I just sold some and am still hodling some. I'm not sure whether it will remain approximately $10000 or not.

As the market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market shoots up, through price movements and a surge in new tokens, regulators around the world are stepping up the debate on oversight into the use and trading of digital assets. This affects all cryptocurrencies, but especially bitcoin, given its market leadership and integration into the global startup ecosystem.

No I dont think so, ETH and Litecoin (and other powerful coins, too) are proved to overtake BTC in the near future, and they have a team behind, also a good platform to develop more and more.

The Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index shows that global digital "mining" of bitcoin consumes more energy than 159 countries. Nearly 10 U.S. households can be powered for one day by the electricity consumed for a single bitcoin transaction, according to the group, according to Digiconomist.
In other words, it takes a whopping 29.05 TWh (terawatt hours, equal to one million megawatt hours) annually to operate the energy-hungry computers and networks that power bitcoin transactions. That's about 0.13 percent of total global electricity consumption.
But do its benefits outweigh this drawback?

Originally, the dominant Bitcoin price prediction was that Bitcoin would reach the $14,000 mark by mid-2018. However, recent developments have blown that prediction out of the water, and optimists are hoping that Bitcoin will break through the $100,000 barrier within the next year. In fact, some people, including CNBC’s Jim Cramer, are predicting that Bitcoin will go as far as shatter the million dollar threshold one day.
