Bitcoin will always be used as a store of value in this space, simply because nothing else in the space can have this use case, even coin pegged to whatever real life commodities. Just like things like Rolex or old fashion cars, it has the name, and it is a piece of history (the chart is very important as it shows the rise of a new technological revolution!). That's one of the reason why I don't invest on Bitcoin cash or any other fork, they don't have what bitcoin has, and they are technologically inferior to other altcoins, those who did not had to impose themselves to the bitcoin holder.
At the current moment Bitcoin has also the majority of the trading pairs, but we will probably have much more choice in the future regarding that aspect of the market, and so BTC will certainly loose that monopoly.
Concerning the technical issues with TPS and fees, the nice thing with digital assets is that you can update the code and fixe issues, the lightning network is coming, atomic swap and segwit will have a broader adoption. No, the concern here shouldn't be the tech, but it is to know what will be the utility of this trustless platform, will it be anonymous enough, will it lose or gain market dominance, and most importantly, will it prove to be unhackable and scale quick enough for massive adoption?
Long term I think it will be strongly correlated to the growth of this market, and I don't see it crash while other blockchain project shoot up to the sky.
