Bitcoin without Altcoin ?

[Etaren]

positives:
if it wasnt for altcoins, then mining pool owners wouldnt be making as much profit from the merge mining that happens. thus they would attempt to milk the miners more, which would increase the tx fee war, where miner are trying to get more reward.

if it wasnt for altcoins, then some of the exchanges wouldnt have a business. seeing as some of them do not want to handle fiat due to the fiat regulations, they would be nothing to value bitcoin against without altcoin.

if it wasnt for altcoins, then people would not have as much freedom to play around making their own code, and be more forced into the bitcoin consensus of the github, where change takes forever and freedoms of creativity are limited to the security of bitcoin.

negatives
if it wasnt for altcoins, some premined scam coins would not exist, stealing real bitcoin value and leaving users holding a bag of s**t coins

there will always be people who just think that bitcoin isnt here without the altcoin but it are both different coins and they dont need to be spent the same time.

Wiithout altcoin, I will own very few bitcoin. I obtained the bitcoin mainly by mining altcoin and sell them for bitcoin.

I see a lot of answers bitcoin can live with itself.

I dont really know much about that because I am still not knowledgeable regarding altcoins. But I know that it all started with bitcoin.

of course all Startlingly on bitcoin. bitcoin is the originator or cryptocurrency first created and with bitcoin phenomenon that began to be popular then lots of smart people who wants to follow bitcoin and create a new cryptocurrency. but bitcoin first born and famous. bitcoin will survive even stand alone as when you first start

That is what I think also. It can stand alone. Unlike altcoin where they need bitcoin as a standard currency which is know. I think the true question is will altcoins live without bitcoin.

Yeah altcoins would never existed if there is no bitcoin. But bitcoin would have never reached such a big price or such a growth if there is no altcoins.

Agree. New technologies might provide innovation, but it took a while for the trust in btc as an actual currency to build. It was hard fought actually, and outside of this community, I see no widespread adoption of any of the alts. That will change, but in time.

You see also that there are more people that is going to use Bitcoin and that is nice for the currency itself but it has now only to be more worth and we cant control that so that is bad.
But you see that Bitcoin is now more using as a payment method so that is nice and it become also more acceptable.

Yeah you are right dude, other alternative coin can support bitcoin to always stay in the top of Cryptocurrency list. The bitcoin see more big Rather than other Cryptocurrency, because from the popularity of bitcoin.

that is so wrong.
the only reason bitcoin is the top of cryptocurrency list is because it is good and original and not like altcoins that are either copying each other or are fully scam pump and dumps.
it is surely not because of existing altcoins that bitcoin is the top!

The Lisk volume will be lower than ethereum in the coming months. But one important application for the Bitcoin is for it to be the base currency.

if no altcoin then bitcoin can not at this time. altcoin a comparison of the trader to determine the price of bitcoin.

I think it is the other way around. Without bitcoin, there will much less altcoin trading. Most big exchanges have very few altcoins.

[Viyamore]

I think if that happens well bitcoin will be boring as well no trading ,just gambling HyIPS and minings Only .altcoins is the next currency to be circulated to buy some things that provided with their coin.

[Cybertron00]

Well in my own opinion Bitcoin will still survive without altcoin maybe it surpass its price now without altcoin because there will be no coin that will be on par with bitcoin.

[shinratensei_]

I just wanted to get your opinions on this one , what do you think Bitcoin would be if there was no Alternative coins such Litecoin & Dogecoin and the others ...
I mean it would be better with or without them Bitcoin would have no value at all ?

Before there alt coin, There is a bitcoin and have a value. It's a big problem for bitcoin if there was no alternative coin such Litecoin and Dogecoin.
Without them bitcoin has a value otherwise alt coin without bitcoin it does not have a value.

[groll]

If their are no altcoins bitcoin price wouldnt be balance, altcoin price is depending on bitcoin, Bitcoin will always pumps its price cause their are no altcoin to buy

[Galiatram]

i dont think it wont change anything at the end of the year 2020 i think all the altcoin has been replaced by bitcoins because what do we have with the altcoin if we cant even buy things with it.

Bitcoin was created before any of the altcoins that we know today. so any altcoin exists because of bitcoin and copying that idea. but also they are an alternative way of investment which only affect bitcoin amount that we all have.

[relq]

I think altcoin give a good affect to bitcoin. It's like, bitcoin can compared the price of bitcoin with the altcoin price and it's make bitcoin's price increase imo.

Yes theres a big effect on bitcoin, because altcoin will depend on bitcoin then the demand was to high thats why the price of bitcoin was continuous rising until now then after they do halving to minimize the earnings of the miners

tbh i don't know so much about about doge,litecoin and other cryptos but i have the feeling that they help a lot bitcoin cause it's used as the main currency to buy altcoins and trade.
