Actually I think that thanks to Bitcoin coming first and being bigger, Monero is able to rise in its shadow, because bitcoin as a crypto people use is like giving governments a safe environment of still being in control, with its traceability and ASIC mining by corporations that can sanction addresses and etc, if Monero was the first ever cryptocurrency it would be way more regulated and attacked as a tool for criminals and would never reach mass adoption, so it's way easier to move from Bitcoin - the coin for social media and legal tender - to Monero - the anonymous alternative -, than from your regulated and enforced fiat currency to a "criminal coin" everyone is afraid to have, making it impossible to spend and use. If Bitcoin continues to grow, so will Monero
