Fair comment... As long as you have some sense of loyalty to an alt and its ecosystem, sounds about right. It's what we do on Hive, and I'd be lying to say it hasn't worked well for me.
It's funny... I talk quite often about BTC (as opposed to HIVE, for example) when price or market is involved, but that's only because BTC has a major influence on what everything else is doing.
You're right, we mostly only talk about BTC and it's movement because it determines where the price goes. Infact it's the biggest reason why people talk about it, jo disrespect to it all.
