the huge thing about bitcoin is that the wider use it generally has around the world , the potential for alt coins explodes much more as people see and value bitcoin as an asset there wariness of cypto as a whole will reduce and then people will start to explore the potential of the altcoins. While its the dominant player at the moment , bitcoin could then be surpassed by altcoins with real world uses that could then be used to generate wealth paid in those coins. Bitcoin lacks that advantage with a fixed number of coins .

Yeah, I agree, although I'd put a caveat with the framing. In terms of speculative investing today, it makes sense to think of BTC and ETH/other alts as rivals, with the one with the highest market cap/value per coin at some fixed point in the future being the "winner," but functionally I think BTC simply fills a different role from ETH and many other alt coins.
