Why the FUCK are people buying BTC?

It's a deprecated, dying block-chain. Even blockchain explorer is ending support for it. There's literally no future for BTC.

Is it just idiots who don't understand the technology but watch Ellen who are pushing the price up?

Because when ANYONE who is new to crypto hears "cryptocurrency" they think bitcoin. Majority of new buyers dont even know alts exist. Bitcoin only has its name and fame going for it. If bitcoin sinks far enough, itll fucking skyrocket.

The ONLY reason why there's any interest at all in cryptocurrencies is following the success of bitcoin. Bitcoin continues to be the most trusted, stable, and secure coin.

Most active developers, most secure coin in the world, highest hash rate, highest number of nodes, largest market dominance.

The only thing that gives a currency value is trust. Bitcoin is designed to be extremely trustworthy: limited supply, highly secure, and decentralized. Every other coin you can name compromises something compared to Bitcoin.
