The thing they don't understand is IF by any chance bitcoin dies, their tokens will completely vanish too, BTC is the core of crypto market and if anything were to happen to it everything will collapse and there will be no crypto market anymore.
we already seen what happens to all the ALT coins and tokens when the bitcoin price goes down, as soon as it gets red all the ALT's follows that, as soon as BTC starts recover, they do too. so saying there will be a future without bitcoin, or their token will beat bitcoin is just like a music group saying they are more popular than Jesus, and they are no where to be found..
