I don't really have a problem with the lacK of $ to alts straight out access, as BTC can serve as an intermediary.
I think the endgame will be something like this.
there will be millions if not billions of alts.
there will be a mutlti wallet/pos/distibuted p2p that can handle them all (one was already built in 2012 I think that can handle alot of block chains)
sort of like web pages, there ended up being billions of those as well floating around on TCIP/HTTP.
The desire to make an alt comes from 2 directs, missing out as an early adopter, thus the only way to get in at a cheaper price than FIAT, and evolution of alts into something better than what exists.
early adopters of BTC holders are not only forced to diversify, but can afford to, as a % of thier holdings.
Eg a BTC holder with 2000 BTC that diversified even 1 BTC into NXT,doge or LTC would now be see a return on investment far larger tham just holding BTC, and could cover their initial BTC investment 10' or 100's of times over. Sure they would loose alot in other alts, but picking by class is important.
Early BTC holders that don't diversify have their holding diminished relative in % to those that by those that do, as those that do can buy more BTC.
A few leaders in each class will stand out, eg
sha BTC Scrypt doge/LTC POW+POS, PeerCoin POS, NXT, NEM, Pink, other Emunie new hash system, PRIME, Cure,
the rest not so much
