What I like about altcoins is their ability to do what Bitcoin cannot and test ideas that are too experimental for Bitcoin.
Privacy, contracts, scalability, anything that is useful to the entire open source money world.
What I don’t like about altcoins is arrogance, zero sum thinking, stagnation & virtue signaling.
You were not the first one to hit the market, you don’t have the largest community of users, your coin is not the most accepted for payments of them all, and it most likely underperforms Bitcoin for bear market saving.
Act like it, build cool stuff to compete for users and market share. Push the research beyond the known boundaries. Refine the user experience. Give people something so cool they didn’t know they wanted it.
But don’t stagnate and simply add more years under the belt.
