Well, altcoins can have faster transactions than Bitcoin, because they are centralized. But Bitcoin can beat that because now with Lightning Network or Liquid you can keep the decentralized nature of Bitcoin txns while having free & instant txns. So, that said, altcoins imo are a cash grab. I don't mean that as they're all a scam, because you can't blame people/companies for trying, and with a good marketing team you can sell anything to anyone. Look at Ripple/XRP, an 80% premine and people still willing to buy it and support their network. If you asked ANY altcoin creator/founder to leave the project they won't, because they like to have their hand involved in the project, one of many aspects of their centralization. Only Satoshi of Bitcoin could do it, none other.


Another note, we all knew an ETF would come:



I don't like the idea of Blackrock showing interest in Bitcoin, but I do believe it is inevitable, they want their hands on the best performing asset of the past decade(s).

As highlighted by Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, BlackRock has a +99.8% success rate of getting ETFs approved, with 575 approvals and only 1 rejection.
