In terms of benefits, Bitcoin's utility for society is greatly overrated, because there are many altcoins that have more attractive characteristics and perspective. For example, there are a lot of coins with much less transaction fees and faster speeds than Bitcoin. There are whole ecosystems that have many functions and capabilities: Ethereum, ICON, EOS, NEO, Komodo. Therefore, I believe that altcoins have a future and their significance in the crypto industry will be increasing every day.
