What would be an alternative to Bitcoin at this time??
There is no alternative for Bitcoin, Bitcoin IS the alternative.
It's just that TONS of people don't understand it. Yet.
Bitcoin is by no means 'disappearing', on the contrary. There's an enormous ongoing boost in development, start ups, investments in Bitcoin companies and services, market growth, acceptance, and whatnot.
But there's also a whole bunch of retards panic selling and only looking at the daily price. Maybe that's what you're referring to?
You could also say it like if an early adopter, who bought bitcoin decided to dump, then the price falls as well. And its not fault of people who believe in it, but people who decided to let go, and due to the fact that they had large amounts, price drops.
