Are you disagreeing with the fundamental economics argument of supply and demand? More demand assuming a constant (forecasted) supply means the price will be higher.

There's no constant supply of cryptocurrency, there are new types of coins created every day.

Different cryptocurrencies are not fungible. New altcoins don't increase the supply of Bitcoin. It's not like they siphon much demand from Bitcoin either. Someone discovering a huge new source of Platinum doesn't fundamentally effect supply/demand of gold.
