Thats the nail on its head. At the moment around the 'common' people BTC and ETH are getting attention. Even elderly people have heard about it now because of the news. Altcoins are mumbo jumbo to people, so that will remain for the 'trading elite (not meant offensive).
Im not sure about my ETH vibe...Like not at all.. I'll HODL and wait and see. But not with big faith
