This might be the year where we stop worrying about btc vs alts. As use cases become clearer and the number of them explodes people will see that it's far better to have many specialist coins that can be interchanged seamlessly than btc or eth, etc, grabbing the whole market.
We saw one coin, DGD, which is tied to physical gold, go up massively when btc tanked down to 6k. If that gains more traction it could potentially become a better replacement for tether.
It's getting fun!
