Yes bitcoin is not dead even though so many other alt coins are coming up bit coin has a long way to go and if more countries and big companies starts to accept bitcoin as currency it would be the ultimate goal and bitcoin would be here for good.
I agree with you, also bitcoin will never be dead because it is already known to some countries, having other alt coins is just an additional in order to make or give a high profit and investment. If many people will join and use bitcoin it will be known more. Then some of the business company will accept it because of the number who join or member of bitcoin. If our country will açcept it, it will make every transactions of different payments paperless and easier.
