which happens to cryptocurrency without bitcoin, I think there will be fewer investors, and will probably have a bad impact on altcoin prices. bitcoin is like a mother, which is the inspiration for other altcoin.
and I think it's possible that another altcoin will replace bitcoin, because altcoin like ethereum keeps rising. but do not know if bitcoin is lost, cryptocurrency will be more interesting or not.

Absolutely No, because of bitcoin crypto world became famous around the world and if bitcoin is gone, crypto will end up badly, maybe it can stay around 1 to 2 years but it will go down. Because no one will invest on it, most of the investors in crypto invest in bitcoin and if bitcoin is gone also the investors will gone.

This is a great argument indeed. In terms of seniority bitcoin exist more than the other coin and this what makes the other coins dependent to it. Moreover there are more people who believes more on bitcoin rather than the other coins because of its potential in the market, and that is one of the advantage of bitcoin. Bitcoin has a lot more difference with other coin, so i firmly believe that bitcoin is the reason why there is still cryptocurrency.

And that's why it will last longer. It's much more secure than the altcoins are because it can't be hacked into or taken over by a majority purchase as easily. It's already being integrated into the existing financial system (which may not necessarily be a good thing, but we'll see) and has more use than other coins in terms of transactions and payments. It's got a huge network of supporters and people trying to use it for innovative new concepts. And it's got a forum named after it.

All this excitement over altcoins isn't worth the energy. Altcoins are just balloons, some inflating much more than others, but all eventually floating back down into nothing. The only ones that will survive are the ones that have real world uses.

Yeah, I agree. It's probably something crazy like 99.5% of altcoins are complete trash with no real utility or value in the long run. The whole industry reflects pretty poorly on even Bitcoin itself since it gets associated with the scams and such.
