I don't know about you, but I think btc is getting quite old and rusty, especially next to so many flashy coins. I got into crypto, not because i was so impressed with btc, but because I was damn impressed with ethereum. What's the point of holding sentimental value to a currency that can't even compete?

Even if btc survives this year, what about 10-20 years down the line when the newer generations don't share our "sentimental value" of btc?

IDK. I don't see why people would be keep buying btc when other coins are performing better in matters of both financial return and functionality.
