Is that the case? Bitcoin if it dies. I do not think the other coins will go well.
My opinion if bitcoin dies then altcoins will die also. Why? because bitcoin is the father of all crypto currency. if the bitcoin value reaches 0 and dies then it means that all of the people in the world has no more interest in digital currency and block chain technology. on which is for me is impossible because the block chain technology is slowly growing and being integrated in our current technology and daily life.
Bitcoin will still be a storage of value.
I agree. There could be that chance because bitcoin is the pioneer, and the main coin that opened up the market for everyone to actually see. Altcoins only followed suit when people saw the potential of bitcoin to do good things in the market. Also, since the market is predicated in the movement and trends that bitcoin has over other coins, then if the main player dies out, in the embodiment of bitcoin, then all other small players, which are the altcoins, would have the same faith, considering that the big fish didn't survive.
