I never believed that altcoins are in dying stage, because first of all crypto currency now are starting to become famous in many country. So I'm sure that altcoins have a huge chance to increase their value on the following weeks or months, all we need to do for now is to be patience waiting for the right time.

Moreover I think if the alternative coins are dying, balanced of crypto currency will be destroy. The possibility to increase bitcoin are higher but the in return they can't be afford this coin in the future.
