There are all pyramid schemes. All the alt-coins exist only because BTC got too expensive and they wanted in. A lot of people are going to be left holding the bag.
Ethereum exists because Bitcoin isn't capable of running complex scripts.
Monero exists because Bitcoin is too transparent.
It'll eventually tank, but not until the insane FOMO ends. For example, the completely useless Dogecoin still has a $600M "market cap", and at one point popped over $2B.
Ethereum was explicitly created because Bitcoin doesn't support decentralized applications or really anything beyond sending tokens between humans. Vitalik tried to work on the Bitcoin codebase but was shunned and was forced to start a new project.
Do you include ethereum here? if so you are woefully misinformed.
