False, when bitcoin goes down, altcoins goes down too. What can we expect from this newbie? Nothing. The prices are always following bitcoin's pattern, when did you see that altcoins are always going up? otherwise, i would be millionaire right now.
Yes, will altcoins survive. Investments in altcoins like Bitcoin have started to invest.When Bitcoin price increases,altcoins price increases.The price of altcoins does not decrease when Bitcoin price increases.
So it is, the altcoins always move beyond bitcoin to growth or fall, which we can now observe. In very rare cases, the coin can grow in spite of the fall of bitcoin. But the fall of bitcoin is temporary, I think in the spring bitcoin and all the altcoins will show as an excellent growth!
