I think the answer will be no, without the real life usage altcoin will only being used as speculation and got no real value, and with a lot of new coin coming out, it weaken the alt coin value even worse, in the end investors only toying with alt and invest in btc, so don't get your hopes up
indeed that's what happened, and we already know that. investors trade altcoin and save more bitcoin. No need to be surprised, because Altcoin has better price movements with changes and updates that occur all the time.
