Technically, bitcoin can never be called altcoin because the whole crypto currency concept started with bitcoin. So a father will always remain a father, no matter how old he becomes. Bitcoin will never be De-throned. If you talk about price, then let me tell you that, bitcoin was priced at $1044 just one year back at the same day. So those who have invested at that time, are still in profit of 800%. It is true that we are going through a bad time because the price came down to 8.5k from 21k just few months back, but still it remains the boss and will remain in the same position.
