Without Bitcoin, I think Altcoin's future will be ruined. Because the parent of all the coins is just Bitcoin. So if the mother just died, the children would not last long. This will be worse than our expectations.
It's an undeniable fact that bitcoins play a really vital and essential role in cryptocurrency, We can safely assume that crypto is
still on the middle phase of it's infancy period. It stands behind bitcoins, as of the moment no matter how harsh or gainful the
market is, basically no altcoin can withstand the market without bitcoin's tractability and influence. We all want altcoins that can
stand on it's own without being affected of bitcoin's behavior and price skirmish. An autonomous, productive and self sustaining
currency just like bitcoin. The reality is that with the current conditions in the market, altcoins need bitcoins to survive and thrive.
It is possible that other altcoins wouldn't also survive if bitcoin will disappear. More like the investors will not trust any transactions in the crypto world if bitcoin just crashes.
It is highly possible, currently everything resides with what happens to bitcoins in the market. If bitcoin does untimely diminishes
for some reason, it would take a lot to make crypto crawl back again. A lot of altcoins would also go along with it, it will a battle
of survival. Survival of the fittest. Investors would always look for something that closely resembles bitcoins in function, design,
productivity and reliability.
