Sure it's possible but we're already seeing a massive growth in altcoins which can actually be used for everyday payments while Bitcoin's relative marketcap is shrinking rapidly. For example Steam recently dropped Bitcoin support. BitPay, the payment processor Steam used, recently announced they will start supporting Bitcoin Cash (which have transfer fees of < $0.01) despite being Bitcoin maximalists until now.

This is why I predict Bitcoin will be surpassed by other coins with more user adoption.
