Bitcoin does not “kill”. It exposes. Altcoins disappear not because Bitcoin attacks, but because time and entropy reveal what’s built on sand. Most projects never had substance, just marketing, just noise. Bitcoin is the first and maybe the only digital asset that is not anyone’s liability. Proof-of-work: the strongest wall money has ever built. Try counterfeiting that. You cannot.

Weak fundamentals do not survive long when they are not protecte. Meme coins? They’re just reflections of a distracted attention economy - built for exit scams, built for spectacle. So the question becomes: “can any crypto justify surviving in Bitcoin’s shadow?” Bitcoin is protocol, not product.
Altcoins have CEOs; Bitcoin has nodes.
Altcoins shift narratives; Bitcoin is narrative.

The ones who survive will have to either find a purpose Bitcoin cannott fulfill, or dissolve into irrelevance. There is no mercy, no drama, no hit-list. Just network effects. Just protocol gravity.

Money is never just about code. It is about who is willing to defend it socially, economically, energetically. Bitcoin's immune system is everywhere and nowhere, voluntary, organic. If anything survives alongside it, that is not because Bitcoin let it. It is because that thing proved its own worth in a world where the bar has been raised. Not many will.
