People who are refusing to deal with altcoins, specially when Bitcoin is in trouble are dumb IMO. There are so many of them if you catch 10% of pumps you'll be good as much as Bitcoin is failing.
And why couldn't altcoins fall just as hard or harder than bitcoin (just like silver tends to fall faster than gold on the way down)? Just because they might not have done that so far, doesn't mean they won't in the future.
You seem to be assuming that altcoins will take up a larger market share for sure.
Of course they could fail but it's much more secure to be in many of them as a hedge against Bitcoin, specially those that are very cheap and bit of promising.
1-2 cents coins with a bit of community behind are much better choice to invest right now than Bitcoin. Yes, their networks are still risky but risk comes with crypto stuff. I'm fairly sure them coming to 10 cents at some tim are better bet than Bitcoin to 900$
