The issue that the Bitcoin community has IMO is that they see BTC as the only valuable crypto and don't want a spare wheel like Monero.

not a spare wheel if it serves a function
and theres no good privacy on bitcoin
But bro, lightning bro. Its good enough privacy bro. Trust me bro. Can you see i just zapped you bro? See? Its good enough privacy
they think it's a fixed pie, and when you buy anything besides bitcoin it means you are personally stealing from them. the entire cryptocurrency marketcap sans bitcoin was personally stolen from them. that's how they think it works.
They need to think harder
The way I see it, not a blockchain, not a coin. In other words everything that's a smart contract I'd a shit-token. Then there is altcoins and among those there is some "currencies" with a valid right to exist.
From there the only question is if you have utility / use for one of those currencies. If you don't then don't buy them cause that is speculation.
People are overthinking stuff
