In other words, if bitcoin failed, it would do nothing but massively benefit everyone else in cryptocurrency.
The idea that crypto users "owe" bitcoiners anything is like saying linux users owe SCO anything. The bitcoiners of today didn't invent bitcoin, they just perverted it.
Bitcoin doesn't represent the cryptocurrency userbase at large. Bitcoin is currently run and used by a small-block cult trying to justify not forking with bitcoin cash, that is why LN is being pushed so hard. Despite this, LN will never scale to a global level (https://www.truthcoin.info/blog/lightning-limitations/)), because blocksize is still too small.
Bitcoin users are indoctrinated to never spend with bitcoin, and that bitcoin is a store of value above all else. Why? because the bitcoin of today isn't usable as cash. It isn't what satoshi planned for.
Bitcoin users are antagonistic towards all other cryptocurrencies. (e.g. "bitcoin is not crypto") probably because the next 2 biggest are eth and dog coins
Bitcoin failing would be like a big old rotten tree in the jungle falling down and making a hole in the canopy to let sunlight through.
