Can bitcoin survive without altcoins?

[enci55]

In my opinion Bitcoin will last, without Altcoin, because Bitcoin is the pioneer of cryptocurrency, while Altcoin is cryptocurrency is crypto intended to compete with Bitcoin, so if Bitcoin without Altcoin will have no effect.

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.. 

Yes it can definitely survive but many will lose interest, many speculator go into crypto trading is due to altcoins and bitcoin alone is making crypto to be less interesting and no selection for investors.

Bitcoin can survive without altcoins, because the whole world is already using blockchain and bitcoin technologies to achieve various goals, so as long as the demand for bitcoin technology remains, bitcoin is not going anywhere.

Bitcoin is an honey badger, it tends to fight it's battle alone, it can stand on its own no matter what happens anyday anytime.

I am a bit different with most opinions. I think Bitcoin cannot stand alone in cryptocurrency. It needs supports from altcoins to continue its existence and attract people to utilize the Bitcoin. Without altcoins, it will be difficult to develop.

Yes altcoins can survive without bitcoin because bitcoin and altcoins separate platforms. Nowadays many important competitors compete with bitcoin, hence bitcoin market now in danger...ie bitcoin cash (sv and abc)

It would not be so interesting if BTC will be the only currency. But if it will happen, I think that it will a very happy time for a lot of people and of course, it will survive.

I guess bitcoin will still survive without bitcoin because only altcoins depend on bitcoin. There were already many altcoins has gone but bitcoin remains standing, if you notice all altcoins will dropped once bitcoin will drastically its value.

I think not only altcoins depend on bitcoin, bitcoin also depend on altcoins. We do not discuss about the prices only, but focus on how the bitcoin's existence. In this case, I assume that both of them depend one another.

I think Bitcoin can survive without altcoins,  Bitcoin is the first of crypto currency. It has existed before altcoins there.

Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency. It will survive without altcoins because it has the trust and its function in some cases. However, the value will probably not be as high as within the altcoins. It is better that bitcoin and altcoins stay together

Bitcoin can't survive without altcoins because if you think cryptocurrency as a kingdom where bitcoin is king and others altcoins similar to soldiers, so you can understand a king don't live without its soldiers. So like that bitcoin don't survive without altcoins too.

I think a couple of years ago it was quite feasible, but now altcoins are needed to keep investors within the industry.

Bitcoin is the first of crypto currency,  So I think Bitcoin is survive without altcoins in last year.  that is my opinion.

I'm sure you already know this, but suffice to say that Bitcoin is in a world of its own and will continue to be the catalyst for the growth of altcoins. Should altcoins die off, BTC will still survive IMHO even though it will see a lot apathy like we're experiencing with the bear market condition. Already at this stage, Bitcoin can exist without Altcoins and Altcoins can exist without Bitcoin. Cryptocurrency is already quite strong, many people already know about it, so I think that the point of no return has long been passed.
