Please tell us when we can call something bitcoin 2.0 according to your definition.  
Easy, when it is a new and improved version of the actual Bitcoin protocol - as anyone and everyone would expect it to mean.  We are using the first version of the Bitcoin protocol (1.0) when the next version of the protocol is released that would be called "Bitcoin 2.0"

I wanted to add something here:

It will be Bitcoin 2.0 when it is an improved version of the Bitcoin 1.0 protocol and my Bitcoin 1.0 BTC can be seamlessly and effortlessly converted (or duplicated) into the new version 2.0 BTC in a fair and transparent way (see Peter's proposal).

There is nothing that can properly be called "Bitcoin 2.0", yet.  Nothing.
...by your definition which reigns supreme over all others?  Please tell us when we can call something bitcoin 2.0 according to your definition.  

By other peoples definition, colored coins, Mastercoin, Counterparty, et cetera, which are not new coins, but rather extensions of the standard bitcoin protocol to enable new interesting functionality - is Bitcoin 2.0.  

But somehow BurtW wants to tell everyone what they can and can't call things.  Burt the head arbiter of the dictionary.  WTF?

Bitcoin 2.0 is a very interesting new space.  It will be quite popular in about 1 more year.

Good idea to add section of btc2.0 to that forum. Can you give some information about btc2.0?Huh

Well, the very beginning of this started with JR Willet's white paper.  Maybe you should start there.

Bitcoin 2.0 is quite different from 'altcoins'. Shouldn't this forum have a category 'Bitcoin 2.0' for all those projects?  It is VERY hard to find posts related to the Bitcoin 2.0 concept as they forever lost in the trash that is 'Altcoins'.  What gives?  

C'mon Theymos - organize the site in a way which is most useful to the readers.  Maybe the management here has something against Bitcoin 2.0 world?  Weird.

The new section would be empty.

There are alt coins which are not Bitcoin (litecoin, NXT, dogecoin, etc. too many to list or count).

There are extensions and enhancements to the Bitcoin protocol.  Things that are build on top of or use the Bitcoin protocol like colored coins and Mastercoin, etc.  These are not "Bitcoin 2.0" either.

There is nothing that can properly be called "Bitcoin 2.0", yet.  Nothing.

What is BTC 2.0? Can you link me to article/thread?
Nxt coin, master coin, ethereum, swarm etc.

And yes it is not fair to categorize these as 'alt coins'.  They are so much more than that

These coins are nothing but gimmicks, Bitcoin is the real deal, deal with it  Cool
It is remarkable how few people understand what Bitcoin 2.0 is.  It doesn't replace Bitcoin at all.  For example, Mastercoin merely extends the functionality of Bitcoin.  Bitcoin blockchain, bitcoin mining, it is still bitcoin.  It is just bitcoin with some added features. 

All altcoins can burn in hell.  Pure garbage.  Litecoin, Dogecoin = dumb as hell. 

Bitcoin is the only coin.  But Mastercoin is Bitcoin on steroids and is nothing like an Alt coin. 

Maybe if the admins didn't try to suppress this, more people would understand what bitcoin 2.0. is.

Dump all your alt coins as quickly and quietly as you can and buy BTC then wait for or create new alt coins based on the distribution model proposed by Peter.  This includes all the latest "darlings" of the alt coin cess pool.

Some are so clear comin' just to scam ppl, while there are others with a huge innovations and potention
Unless they implement this:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/rfc-aethereum-a-turing-complete-coin-distributed-as-per-bitcoins-blockchain-563925

(which they do not) they will all be wiped out by the first alt that does.

I wouldn't mind getting in on a game early for a change!
Unless they implement this:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/rfc-aethereum-a-turing-complete-coin-distributed-as-per-bitcoins-blockchain-563925

then don't bother since it will not last.  If they do implement it then by owning BTC you are already in on the ground floor!  Just buy and hold more BTC and you will be able to be in on the ground floor of every coin that implements the suggested initial distribution method.

Look at what Nxt coin and ethereum are doing now.
They will be wiped out by the first true "Bitcoin 2.0" alt coins, coins that implement this:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/rfc-aethereum-a-turing-complete-coin-distributed-as-per-bitcoins-blockchain-563925

Bitcoin 2.0 doesn't exist yet, there are several altcoins which can take btc slot in the future but not today.
None of the current alt coins will ever "take btc slot" because they will all be wiped out by the first real "Bitcoin 2.0" coins.

How can you guys talk smack about Altcoins... They are great contrast to Bitcoins, I think without them Bitcoins wouldn't be as popular as it is today.

“Altcoins offer ways to gain exposure to different segments of the crypto-universe. Darkcoin is a brilliant coin that addresses a real need. As I said before, the market as a whole is set for 100x growth so there is plenty of upside.” -Max Keiser

Just because some of you guys traded in shitcoins and lost money, you have a negative view on them altcoins now. Look at what Nxt coin and ethereum are doing now. Besides being able to trade different coins is a great way of making money and investing in particular altcoins in the future. If you believe in Bitcoins and want it to progress, dont knock altcoins... Support it and be part of the ever growing community!

BTC The Future!

I didnt loose money on altcoins. I made money on it. That dosent change the fact that calling a coin Bitcoin 2.0 makes it any diffrent from any other altcoin

Bitcoin 2.0 is not Bitcoin, so they belong to Alternate cryptocurrencies board.

If anything Bitcoin 2 is the biggest scam trying to steal off the fame notority of bitcoin and confuse new comers, it should stay an altcoin until it finally sinks and dies with the other scamcoins. (All altcoins are not scams)
Indeed, Etherum is the perfect example. I always felt like those people were just after the money. After all it's still only a concept nothing more.
Perhaps its because people don't want anything to do with alt-coins? I know I don't.
You're right many do not want to be touching that, especially not after so many scams (and because of the current one *waves to IPO coins*).

Nxt coin, master coin, ethereum, swarm etc.

None of the alts in the alt trash can, including those alts, deserve to be called "Bitcoin 2.0"

They will all be totally wiped out by the first coin to implement Peter R's great idea in this thread:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/rfc-aethereum-a-turing-complete-coin-distributed-as-per-bitcoins-blockchain-563925


The first coin to implement the initial coin distribution idea described in that thread will be the first coin that might deserve the designation "Bitcoin 2.0", but only if it is actually better than Bitcoin 1.0 in a market defining way.

Until then let's keep all the alts in their own cess pool sub forum so they are easy to ignore.
