If Bitcoin dies does altcoin die?

[Joylee]

I don't think that bitcoin will die and I do not know also in the future bitcoin die or not. Because bitcoin is money, money is all we need, and we use money in everything we do in life. I just now have no bitcoin do not do anything because my main income is bitcoin.

I don't think all altcoins will die, but there will definitely be a massive sell-off on all coins and chaos for a couple of weeks at least...

As long there are users and investors, Bitcoin will be impossible to die. If the time will come, before the Bitcoin to die i'm sure it will be a huge chaos and selling all assets or stocks in all altcoins will happen. But from the perspective today, it will be the opposite. Bitcoin will continue to grow and develop with the help of other cryprocurrencies. New cryptocurrencies didnt act as a poison to kill Bitcoin but is make it more popular to others.

Altcoins are the fundamental part of the bitcoin. If bitcoin have some serious problems, altcoins will be afffected by them very hard. This is undesired situation for each of us clearly.

If the most decentralized coin (bitcoin) dies, then all other coins will die eventually. Anything that is centralized (all other altcoins) is not as robust as something decentralized with no single point of failure. However, I think that the idea that bitcoin will die is naive and shows a lack of an understanding of why it is needed and how bitcoin works.

[bigdude]

As for now I don't think bitcoin is the great one in the network.
But it's legend and it affect to all altcoin.
So if it crash almost altcoin value will be go to 0
It will take a year to get altcoin value back if this happen cometrue and their will be other market leader!

[Sumo]

It will be because of what will happen the fall of bitcoin. There is a high probability that some other altcoin, better than bitcoin, will break out ahead and become the leader of cryptology. But bitcoin can fall for a reason relating to all crypto currencies. For example, a total ban by the government.

Bitcoin is like the mother of all wherein all of them are not here because of it. But see there's a chance that an altcoin will inherite the place of btc in future. However, for me if bitcoin will die whatever the reason is, all will be affected and might die as well since currently whenever you need fiat currency still you need to trade it in btc.

[Ponzi Shame]

It's really hard to tell. Why would Bitcoin die anyway? We are working on solutions that will speed up Bitcoin in the future. Unfortunately, many hard forks occur because of this. That may kill Bitcoin someday. Right now, the price of altcoins mostly depend on Bitcoin. When there is an upcoming hard fork or Bitcoin price decreases then altcoins value is also decreasing.

[drfugazi]

There are different reasons as to why bitcoin might die. First, bitcoin might die because altcoins are becoming really good and they started to take over. Second, bitcoin might die just because it destroyed itself. Another, bitcoin might die because a new technology is taking over the internet. That means that cryptocurrencies as a whole are dying and so both bitcoins and altcoins are going to die.

[RaphB]

I think not.
Especially if the reason why bitcoin died is because people loses interest on it. Because if this situation does happen then it only means that those people may have shifter their invesments to other altcoins.

[azisdoank]

I think if bitcoin die is nothing happen but if the bitcoin truly die i think the altcoins die too but i know that bitcoin is a strong cryptocurrency and i know that sometimes the bitcoin value going decrease but i know that bitcoin is going increase again and more investors still use bitcoin as their main income, so if bitcoin die, the commnunities will have to change their invesments into altcoins, however i think the shock after bitcoin die will very huge altcoins will drop too that will take a very long time for altcoins to rise again......

[GeorgeFeb]

Some can't wait for it to die so other more advanced coins would take its place!

So no, alts won't die!

What is needed is to loosen Bitcoin - Alts codependancy and eventually kill it!

[myhometalk]

All are altcoins but I think that's about it.
If one dies it's not necessary for the other one to die as well.

[Glydel1999]

No, they have different personalities so each of them are independent to each other and not will be affected in the loss of the anther party.

[Rozita]

Now bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency. If bitcoin lose its value for some reason, altcoin will lose their value too. But if bitcoin lose its value due to existence of another altcoin with more benefits than bitcoin, that's only bitcoin which falls.

[Ais08]

Certainly nobody is looking for by people, in fact everyone will leave bitcoin and other altcoin types, maybe it's no use anymore they are looking for it, but I think the opposite is that bitcoin is so strong that it's up to next year, maybe also controls the world for people using bitcoin as the world's number one currency ...

[soy]

I think also that bitcoin is a source of trading all cryptocurrencies, but I dont believe that if bitcoin dies, altcoin will die too, maybe there will be new coins that have better features than bitcoin that seems to replace bitcoin role... Ethereum?

[Iphone7s]

Bitcoin is no one will and can control its usage and the rate of bitcoin is making people getting surprise and they want to promote other altcoin so they manipulate that bitcoin will die. If bitcoin the cryptocurrency banned mean how we expect other cryptocurrency will not banned obviously all cryptocurrency all get banned, anyway which is not going to happen at all. So don't panic enjoy the return through bitcoin till you live and let carry for future generation

[Rascar Capac]

I always think bitcoin will survive for very long time but oneday if bitcoin die, i am surely bitcoin will effect entire world, altcoins may be effected also, their price will definitely drop, however, we can still surive without bitcoin but the sources of money into bitcoin will be changed into altcoins.
