Bitcoin introduced us to the first use-case for blockchain technology.
It's legacy should highlight how much of a contribution that will be to the future and it's amazing runs should only highlight the excitement around the potential presented.
Once all of this new money coming in recognizes what altcoins are they will come running and this train will continue!
In the end it is about progressing the world not about progressing Bitcoin.
Cheers!
