A lot of people say bitcoin is the internet

[romerun]

And altcoins are intranets so they should have 0 value.

But why do they draw this analogy ?

There is no supporting community of intranet, but there are communities behind alts. So it's more like religion competitions to me. The first religion dominated the world for a period, after thousand years we have at least 3 major religions.

What is your bitcoin and alts analogy?

bitcoin is a desire to exchange value in search of a medium, altcoins are a medium in search of those that value it.

If Bitcoin is the Kernel then Alt. coins are like distros !

Linux Distro: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distribution
