Ya, easy to go to coinmarketcap and see what bitcoin 2.0 options hold their value as bitcoin crashes (on low volume meaning that it will bounce back on low volume too (like a regular trading day's volume)).

This is a good experimental math test for those looking to diversify from bitcoin 1.0 tech into bitcoin 2.0 tech.  It is what bank fiat specialists call a bank (crypto coin) stress test (to make the math lesson simpler for the wall st brokers who are scratching their heads looking for an entry point based on math to tell their bosses and get promoted to head of the Winklevoss crypto division).  The Winklevii won't be 2015, it will be that bitcoin 2.0 guy.
