Simple, they want to maximize the profit, with Bitcoin they need to hold for few years in order to make a lot profit.
There are no other reasons behind that because cryptocurrency are essentially useful when it comes to anonymity, decentralization and offer a service in digital world. But, there are many offline project that create their own native token for crowdfunding, a way for foreigners to donate or participate the project.
Of course. Altcoins bring "easy money". Especially "meme" coins. Most people these days want to "get rich quick", so they will choose altcoins on top of Bitcoin. Even if 99% of the altcoins are centralized and unreliable "shitcoins". No matter how big altcoins grow, they will never be able to beat Bitcoin. It's not about what shiny-new features a coin has, or how profitable it is. But rather, how useful and reliable it is. BTC may be slow and expensive at times, but it's the best cryptocurrency in the world in terms of decentralization and censorship-resistance. It's also the one with the highest merchant adoption in the world.
Those who want a solid long-term investment, will choose BTC over alts anytime. It's even better than Gold. With how quick the crypto market moves, I wouldn't be surprised if new altcoins replace existing ones in the future. Lets carry on, shall we?
