You cant compare Bitcoin with altcoins. If you see the popularity and adoption of bitcoin and the length of being a reality in the market, altcoins wont stand a chance against Bitcoin. There are coins which have potential and can be adopted in mass but it will be harder to beat the King.
One thing that I notice is that people like us could easily name 20 or 30 altcoins without too much trouble but that is because we are involved in this market, if you ask a random person about this market most likely the first and only coin that will come to their mind will be bitcoin and if you were to ask them if they knew of any other coin, they will ask you if there are other coins besides bitcoin, and I know that is true because when I first joined this market I did not knew that altcoins existed.
