The only scenario I see where bitcoin dominance increases over the long term is one where there is a big fall across the whole market. Long term (years) it's hard to think that bitcoin will have a dominance of more than 10%. It is one coin against over one thousand, it's just not feasible that bitcoin can retain its dominance. With every new ICO bitcoin dominance falls just a little bit more.
What the hell I'm reading here...
So bitcoin dominance will be knocked down to 10% in the future and this because of the hundreds of ICOs happening...
User eminemcookie actually brought up a very good point, which if the trend continues, it at some point might become reality that Bitcoin's market cap dominance (which is a nonsense measuring stick IMO) will drop below 10%. It's just one coin versus soon to be more than 2000 coins, and exactly here is where the quantity takes over the quality of a certain coin. Good thing is that it doesn't mean anything, because even if Bitcoin's market cap dominance drops below 5%, it's still meaningless -- the only thing that matters is the actual usage and the capital that's flowing through Bitcoin's ecosystem. I can't see any coin come even close to Bitcoin in that aspect, and especially so with off-chain scaling applications allowing people to tackle Bitcoin's on-chain limitations. People for once just need to stop looking at market cap dominance -- the only thing that actually matters is
market share.
I also believe that marketcap is irrelevant, and I've always said it's one of the things that trick newbies into buying shitcoins.
But, if we talk about
BTC going below 10%, at this point it will probably mean some coin will surpass it and even if not, that the amount poured into ICOs would reach levels of....pure stupidity.
You can fake a few millions of market cap, you can even fake a few billions, but not a trillion!!!!
Even if we consider bitcoin to remain at this level, the global market cap would have to grow with 1.4 trillion as we speak, and all of them in altcoins.
If BTC would reach 20k again , the number will just double to close to 3 trillions.
No, if this happens I will probably really lose even more faith in the human race. I wonder if I still have some left....
