Definitely. I think bitcoin can survive without altcoins because bitcoin influences other alternative coins in cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin can actually survive without altcoins but may be a bit difficult, one good reason why crypto sphere is so interesting is that we have so many project with different usecase, i guess it will be difficult for bitcoin to function in all the aspects the alts are functioning.

It's true that bitcoin can live without an altcoin, but the altcoin is needed by small investors to make a profit

What is certain is that bitcoin can live alone without an altcoin, bitcoin is the parent of altcoin.

Bitcoin can't alive without altcoins because all altcoins, bitcoin and Ethereum are interrelated with each other. A kingdom never exists without soldiers... As bitcoin never exists without altcoins..

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.. 

Bitcoin to Alts is like the gold for Fiat, even if their will be no use for Bitcoin in our life it will still their the master for alts.

Bitcoin is the first Cryptocurrency, and bitcoin can develop at that time.  but Remember the name Bitcoin can be famous as it is right now because of the many altcoins that enliven this Cryptocurrency market.  That is, Bitcoin can live without Altcoin, but it can't be developed this fast.

~snip~ but the altcoin is needed by small investors to make a profit

Are you sure that altcoins just needed by small investors?
I doubt your statement. Ethereum and XRP are also altcoins, but I believe that big investors and traders take attention and utilize them as well. You should take research to claim that only small investors make profits from altcoins. Prove it with data!

I think that will be very difficult, because we all know that bitcoin has a big influence on altcoin, so I think altcoin will have trouble without bitcoin.

bitcoin can survive 100% right without altcoins but altcoin can not survive without bitcoin. the market rely heavily on altcoin for exchange so bitcoin plays a big role when exchanging other tokens like altcoins for services, holding,etc. altcoins might be many but bitcoin remains one

Ofcourse Bitcoin can survive without altcoins but the Market is boring without competition and Because bitcoin was set to monopolized the market it can affect the productivity and development of cryptocurrency space thats why its better to have any competition and altcoins is very important.

It is obvious that the existence of bitcoin is not held, controlled or even affected by any altcoin. Bitcoin is the number one of crypto currencies, which means it can stand without any altcoin in the market.

[Domithra]

Although altcoins have created great awareness to the crypto space due to its numbers on the market, Bitcoin will certainly survive without them. Bitcoin has its unique features and services it renders just as any other coin and this is what creates the demand for it.

Altcoins are already there and they are not going anywhere. Bitcoin alone, and altcoins more than two thousand. The development of cryptocurrency is now following the path of development of altcoins. Unfortunately, Bitcoin is developing very slowly now. One can discuss whether bitcoin will survive without altcoins, but whether two thousand altcoins can survive without bitcoin does not make sense.

[Noverteno]

Already, Bitcoin and Altcoins can exist independently of each other. It should be borne in mind that Bitcoin appeared first among cryptocurrencies and existed independently for some time when very few people knew about it. Now the technology has already been developed and we are actually talking only about the support of any cryptocurrency by people.
