For me bitcoins need alternative coins to support it self to grow more its economy bitcoin will not grow into this if theres none token support him. But bitcoin will encounter compitition to those alternative coins. Like those classic coins who will be scammed in the end.
Bitcoin doesn't really necessary needs altcoins but, altcoins has bring the bitcoin on its number 1 spot since we all aim is to have bitcoin, and altcoins are just a token that you need to get the jackpot which is the bitcoin. Altcoins creates big transactions that makes cryptocurrency feasible to the market and with that the bitcoin becomes more popular.

You are right, although bitcoin is the invention and creation of cryotographic currency, or digital currency, it still need more progress, like Litcoin uses SegWit right now, it can experiment for bitcoin. Ethereum makes smart contract feature, therefore can experiment for bitcoin too.

Yeah and they also support Bitcoin on the market since we can trade other coins to bitcoin and from Bitcoin to other coins. The more number of altcoin, the more potential we can have from cryptocurrency. In my opinion, Bitcoin is great, but we have to admit the truth that in the future, people will develop a new coin which contains all advantage from many cryptocurrency and It will become the only currency in this world

Bitcoin has once existed without any altcoins, didn't you know?

I just think that altcoins are great because they bring in innovation and if it works great on altcoins maybe Bitcoin can adopt some of those innovations.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are different from each other so that is why bitcoin does not need to change or adopt SegWit kind of developments, however it is right that the bitcoin is still in need for some progress and development/enhancement, as for the altcoins I think they are just a way to get to bitcoin, you go and mine altcoins because mining bitcoin is harder.

Bitcoin really needs altcoins, because altcoin is the alternative way of the community for them to have a chance to earn bitcoin, and altcoin too is also helping bitcoin for promoting it so afst in the whole. One more things because of altcoin people in this industry are having a chance to save some bitcoin once the value of altcoin increase and multiply in x10 and up.

We need alt coin because we know one day bitcoin will be not enough for everyone and we need alt coin to spread the freedom of using digital currency, even though now alt coin looks like a weak crypto currencies but in the future it can become bitcoin rival

In the scalability debate, we have another point in favour of the "altcoins as a testnet for Bitcoin" argument:

Bitcoin's Segwit adoption seems to have been stalled. But not everything is lost: I expect that altcoins will eventually drive Bitcoin to a solution - literally from the bottom of the "small shitcoins" up to the "first-tier" leader, BTC. Because there are already altcoins adopting SegWit, and Bitcoin eventually will have to follow to ensure its leading role in cryptocurrency.

So Groestlcoin - a "fourth-tier" altcoin - has activated Segwit at the end of January as the first cryptocurrency, and the soft fork went on without problems (that's also the reason for it's price pump).

Now you can say, GRS is a very small altcoin with a under-complex network. But there are third-tier altcoins following its adoption (e.g. Viacoin) and will probably implement it in the near future. Then Litecoin as a second-tier altcoin could follow - its Segwit signalling is still very low but increased competence from smaller alts will eventually pressure miners to adopt it. And if LTC adopts it, I expect a strong pressure to Bitcoin miners to adopt it, too.

You can follow altcoin Segwit adoption here: Altcoins with Segwit support

For us to know, why bitcoins need altcoin because, we know that bitcoin is just only a kind of currency. For bitcoin value to grow, we need to convert it out to any kind of altcoin, to make bitcoin value earn. Earning on bitcoin is intended only for altcoin values. This kind of trading shall be implemented to bitcoin value grow.

these innovations come to minds of the developers of these coins not to the coins like altcoins so if these developers will suggest these things to the developers of bitcoin or they participate in the development of bitcoin then without any altcoin bitcoin can get that innovations. With this thing the crypto community will not divide in different groups and they all will work for a single currency/bitcoin and will boost up its success.

Altcoins is  good in most cases as it provides healthy competition and also provide some business for people who are in altcoin to bitcoin trading.  But Bitcoins don't need Altcoins in any case and they have their own existence.

I think, they will need each other. altcoin may be based on the price of bitcoin, but, by doing so, it will make bitcoin getting famous. besides, altcoin also can make bitcoin prices to be higher, due to the high demand for altcoin, the higher the demand for bitcoin. I always think that way.

Altcoin is real and have  great price of fee.. the price right now.. altcoin has a great investment and we can get a good profit if we are choose a good altcoin investment because not all altcoin are really can makes you profit.. it is depends in the market..
Bitcoin is really needs altcoin because it can help to increase the popularity of bitcoin or more people can know about bitcoins and other crypto that can push the number of bitcoin users that can push the price of bitcoin also.

yes in this sense it is a fact that altcoin is important for the traders, and they can use trad alt and can increase the the number the amount of bitcoin, but for bitcoin it id do not need for any alt coin. bitcoin is the number one crypto currency and hope that it will always be number one crypto currency for ever.

First of all, the competition environment is always good. Altcoins will always be needed. In addition, each altcoin comes with a different innovation. They all have a different purpose. And They exist to solve different problems.

But apart from these, there are coins that MLM companies use. These coins are not traded in stock markets. Exist coins to take advantage of Bitcoin's popularity. I do not think these would be useful for Bitcoin.

To be honest most altcoins are useless and serves only for speculative trading. If you make a lot of money on alt trading than somebody had to "lose" the same amount. Also many new altcoins were proven just to be scams...

I think there's no need for more than +-5 altcoins. Some could be a test field for BTC incoming features, others could provide more anonymity and some could focus on just specific group of people/market and better suit their needs. It took many years for bitcoin to be where it is now (accepted by such a big companies as Micorsoft or Valve) and no altcoin can surpass it anytime soon, if ever...

Altcoins in general has bringed inovation over crypto world, if we stop and calculate the crypto value we will easy see that its a huge investement splited over several coins. Bitcoin is main currencie and almost all others altcoins just had copied some part of it, and improved the transaction speed, something with bitcoin looks like wont be changed anytime soon.

I agree with your point that bitcoin do not need altcoin for itself but only traders need it along with bitcoin. Bitcoin is really NO 1 crypto currency and it has much power that it do not need any other supporter which will try to stand in competition of it. While sometimes these altcoins need bitcoin to get fame in the market.
