As bitcoin rises so do they. The wealth is clearly trickling down. Alt coins offer other things that bitcoin can't. I advise you to do your research.
I could not agree more, a rising tide raises all ships. The altcoins will go up in value and as more people here about bitcoin they will get educated and learn about altcoins. The altcoin future is bright in my opinion and the variety we see is really a grand experiment, very interesting times. Definitely go out and do your research.
