Even if the bitcoin network would collapse, certain strong altcoins would not, because of their own value.
One reason for the Bitcoin suck behavior is, that altcoin user have no alternative to bitcoin for parking their money. This is one of the "real-world" purposes of bitcoin!
Once in the future, when the market offers relevant competition, this will maybe change?!
From now I doesn't think so, because most people don't know about history and value of the cryptocurrencies, but they like the benefits and sooner or later, they want to participate.
