I think it would be worse without altcoins.
For example, if you create some altcoins, introduced significant innovations in the source code of Bitcoin. For example Darkcoin, hopes obsepechit platform technology is completely anonymous bitcoin transactions. Bitshares positioning itself as the electronic version of Wall Street, Ripple - provides a simple currency payments, etc.
In addition altcoins help developers to experiment with unique characteristics. Although Bitcoin can copy any innovation, if the community so desires and developers fully functioning altcoins. It is much better laboratory for Bitcoins than test the Bitcoin network, since altcoins have a certain monetary value, in contrast to a test network.

I don't think anyone ever thought Bitcoin would be the end-all of crypto. It will fill a role until something better comes along - when that happens, we'll see a massive shift into the new currency.
Given how dysfunctional the BTC source code update process is right now, that MIGHT BE SOON.
Etherium seems to be gaining traction and now has a substantial chunk of market share...

bitcoin is better than ALt
Without altcoin, I will own very little bitcoin. I buy bitcoin buy selling altcoin. I get the altcoin by mining them.
Well most people buy altcoins with bitcoin, but I don't think it would influence the price too much.
And also most people who have altcoins always sell their altcoins into bitcoins. so this both coins really connected and altcoin always need bitcoin.
Just on this you can't indicate both are interdependent. Its just a trading tactics which helps traders to get some additional profit.
I think it provides newcomers into the Digital currency scene with a bit of excitement and also, developers and punters alike can express themselves through other digital currencies. Bitcoin opened the way to new creativity and modes of thinking and as a monopoly, it wouldn't perhaps grow as it has done. Having these other currencies come into play actually galvanizes more promotion of Bitcoin to the Public as well. I believe it has a positive role to play and also developers can show off their skills to progress in blockchain and other related technologies. 
Altcoins really don't have a direct connection to bitcoin, and the price has no correlation. I'd say altcoins make no impact on bitcoin.
yes you may right,altcoin have no corelation or connection with bitcoin,but i'm sure some people will lose their bitcoin earning if nothing altcoin in this world,i know so many people earn or mine altcoin and trade it to bitcoin,and i'm also do that.

altcoin users definitely bitcoin users. but not necessarily the user of bitocin IS ALSO user of altcoin. I do not see the urgency of altcoin or influence altcoin for bitcoin
Bitcoin is self-sustainable and a good stable system.
Bitcoin will still doing good without it. Altcoins are exist is because Bitcoin existance.
Bitcoin will still doing good without it. Altcoins are exist is because Bitcoin existance.
Altcoins can not take bitcoin's place so they can live next to bitcoin. Without altcoins the market cap of bitcoin could be higher or we would have a lot less investors.
Big investors will only invest in the bitcoin. It has long history and more stable. But as time goes on, some altcoin will be more established.
Most of the people invest into bitcoin as it has the highest price and the highest survived compared to altcoins. I think altcoins is needed to make large number of bitcoin. As users are trading alts and investing profit into bitcoin.

Without altcoin, I will not have much bitcoin. I mine altcoin and sell them for bitcoin. I do not mine bitcoin.
I am in the similar situation. I mine altcoins as it is not profitable for me to mine bitcoin directly.
Well but it's risky, right? Altcoin might cost nothing when you want to sell it. But on the other hand it might cost much more in Bitcoin than it was when you mined it. So mining altcoins is almost like gambling IMO.
That is right. It is very difficult to choose the right altcoin to mine. I sold most of my Ethereum when the price was $1.3 after it rose from $0.8.
