Well guys.. If bitcoin dies tomorrow because of such a high rate or any other reason .. Which is the best altcoin will the person switch to first?  This means the altcoin in which the population will more likely to invest on??
First of all it is impossible that bitcoin will or can die because of a high rate but with high rate the value of bitcoin increases more.
secondly, If a time come when we will see bitcoin to die then we will not believe on any other crypto currency because we know that bitcoin is most powerful currency and if a most powerful currency can die then why not others.

In other words you can also say that If bitcoin dies which is a free technology and not owned by any one developer but it is used freely by any one and if it dies then i think the whole crypto currency world will dies because the whole technology is based on Bitcoin and when bitcoin can die then do you think that other coin will sustain it. So it is useless to speak about it because bitcoin death is the whole crypto currency death and no other any currency can sustain

if and if bitcoin dies the whole crypto market will crash and I think all alts will worth zero
alt coins are nothing when we compare them with btc especially in the market cap , so if you are thinking to buy an alt just in case bitcoin died then don't do it and keep your money in btc

If tomorrow bitcoin dies, all the altcoins will die together, or in other words, bitcoin will be the last to die in this space. This is because bitcoin have received wide adoptions and have huge interest groups to support. So it will be the last to die.
There have been threads about this specific thing, and it seems to be the consensus that if bitcoin fails, altcoins don't stand a chance.  Why would they?  None of them have any significant advantages (as far as I can see) over btc.  The death of bitcoin would be the death of crypto.  End of story.

The decider would be volume. Smiley

More people would probably switch to the coin with second highest natural volume. Litecoin would also see huge inflows.

Since Litecoin has the widest circulation it would probably step in.  Also depends on why bitcoin died I guess.

If bitcoin dies... Uhmm.. Its very hard to imagine but if ever this will happen, i think litecoin, xmr kr dogecoin are good alternatives for bitcoin. I cant say they are the best but these are doing just fine in the market. Maybe the one that can take place of the bitcoin is hasnt born yet.

Honestly though when you think about it there is no real alternative to bitcoin and I don't see why people try to even invest in anything but bitcoin?
Whenever any cryptocurrency had more than $5b marketcapital you could certainly depend on it and switch your funds and hash power.
ETH was rising above $1b but sadly now has only $600m marketcap.

That's something very unlikely to happen. Some of the reasons you pointed out probably would not be enough to cause such an event. Considering the fact that Bitcoin has increased significantly in value in recent months, the fees are a bit high, in fact, but only in relation to small transactions. For larger amounts, fees are relatively low. Either way, I think this is something that can be adjusted without major complications.

But to answer your question, people would look for something more conservative and similar to Bitcoin, so I think that the currency with greatest potential to replace Bitcoin, in case of a catastrophe, would be Litecoin due to the fair distribution and some improvements. And it looks like they will try to improve anonymity.
Soon after, Monero could be a good one, due to improvements that allow anonymous transactions, and active community, of course.

I'd say Doge, because it is super easy for the layperson to understand, no decimals etc, just whole coins. Very low fees to send and quick to confirm.

I also like Steem because no fee at all to send, confirms very quickly and the wallet is online on the steemit site, so no huge blockchains to download on your computer only to find your laptop has crashed and you've lost them all.

I think crypto world with the crypto currencies will be imbalanced 'coz of BTC Dying/Died. No other alternative coins can outmatch or compete with BTC. Some said it is TBC, but TBC is already a scam, only nigerian is buying high value TBC thats why they said it is like BTC. But that's a lie there is no exchanger for TBC, how come it is like BTC? TBC is a scam that's why it will not outmatch BTC's value.

Altcoins will probably be worthless if the value of Bitcoin drops to nothing.

I'd say that ETH would be a good coin as it is doing quite well price-wise considering the recent hacks and hard forking that has been going on with that coin.
One of the originals would be the best to use such as LTC or Doge as they are the most similar to Bitcoin so will be adopted in a similar way.
