Can bitcoin survive without altcoins?

[May]

altcoin does not have any influence on bitcoin. even without altcoin, bitcoin will still be there. previously, bitcoin already existed without altcoin.

Quite right, bitcoin is the basis of all cryptocurrencies, and bitcoin will not go anywhere, because if you will look at the volume trading that happens with bitcoin, then you can easily say that big players prefer to trade with bitcoin rather than with altcoins.

Either way, I don't think altcoins, as a whole, are going anywhere.

There is no way altcoin can survive without bitcoin. As long as bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency, it can survived without altcoins and truely, bitcoin can survive without altcoin. bitcoin is the first while altcoins came second. the future of cryptocurrency rest on bitcoin. if bitcoin disappeared, Altcoins will follow.

I agree, earlier, and without altcoins, bitcoin quietly existed) With its appearance, bitcoin has not changed significantly.

in my opinion, with or without altcoin will not affect bitcoin to become the main in crypto.bitcoin will continue to grow and will be sought by its holders.

Since a lot of people ask "will altcoins survive without bitcoin?", there is something interesting in my mind with this. How about if we change the question to be "can bitcoin survive without altcoins?". I assume it can survive, but it will be a little hard to achieve its goals to change the world. Let's discuss it.. 

I think that bitcoin alone cannot exist, but this is my opinion, I do not impose

Are you sure?
We are not talking about the price, mate. I mean to talk about the general impact, not based on the price point of view only.

previously, bitcoin already existed without altcoin.

Indeed, Bitcoin has already existed before altcoins. But how we can guarantee that it will survive and improve significantly without altcoins. I am not sure it will be so popular and have massive adoption if there were no altcoins to support.

Very much so. Bitcoin was hailed the king on the cryptocurrency market and the most valuable one. Even though some Altcoins in reality have far more effective and unique use cases of blockchain technology, most crypto enthusiasts still regard Bitcoin as the most important asset in all of cryptocurrencies. However as far as i can see, the existence of Altcoins doesn't really matter, Bitcoins will still benefit from the competition. After all Bitcoin is the root of it all.
