Bitcoin has no competition so far because it has been so hard to change things in the code and if you could find anything similar to bitcoin's code and with the same development then I think you have found it's competitor.

Until recently i thought that there wont be any real competitors for bitcoin but in the last couple of weeks the rest of the alt coins has being on a good run and is breaking their ATH's and it makes me think about the possibility of other alts to challenge bitcoin at one point in the future.
What about DASH, a lot of his shils are screaming about the dash will take the bitcoin's place.
It seems like the altcoin gets a lot of the new demand in this time, and ethereum have the big chance to become a competitor for bitcoin.

DASH will probably never replace Bitcoin, but DASH could be a successful major altcoin that can be used along with Bitcoin. There is room for more than one cryptocurrency with Bitcoin being so expensive.

No offence OP. Stating that Bitcoin doesn't have any competition is pretty naive, there is an investment that is going up in value as time goes by. That investment is called Gold.
It may not seem like it's worth a bunch of money right now because of the volitility of the price though if you look beyond the USD price chart you will see that there wasn't a set price for Gold.

Gold is really a safe haven for some who know how to just count measurements and is more reliable than Bitcoin.

So, yes Bitcoin does have a competitor.
Gold will always be a competitor and not only to bitcoin but to fiat currencies as well since we must not forget that gold has been the currency of choice for thousands of years while fiat has been around in its current form just for a hundreds of years.
I think gold is not a competitor for bitcoin because they are so different to each other. Gold can be physical and virtual investment while bitcoin is just virtual and bitcoin is a currency/digital money while gold is just an investment or asset so for me we can't consider gold as a competitor but in my opinion, altcoins are more like bitcoin competitor rather than gold.
While it is true that bitcoin and gold have different characteristics both of them appeal to the same market, people that want to hedge against inflation or people that want to get out of the system of fiat controlled by the governments of the world.

That is absolutely true, bitcoin has become favorite investment because there is no inflation in bitcoin and it is free from the government control,  it is really suitable fot future investment because the price is keep on rising and there are so many big potential can be achieved with crypto currencies

If you pay attention to other crypto currencies, bitcoin is not the only one of its kind, but it is users who make valuable crypto currency due to the demand, and consequently popularity. But if you consider the real currency as a competitor bitcoin, then I think that this is wrong.

Well if fiat currency is Bitcoin competitor I can say Bitcoin had already lost its battle.  But in terms of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin being the first mover has almost no competitor at all.  Almost those that wanted to overthrow Bitcoin as leading cryptocurrency failed the moment they intend to do so.

Among all the cryptocurrencies , bitcoins price is high . It doesnt mean that bitcoin has no competition. Bitcoin is more popular and familiar to common people because it is the first of its kind and  people started to buy bitcoins. Because of that it price increases day by day and it always appears in the headlines of all news portal. All other coins are not so popular. Thats why people prefer bitcoin than other altcoins. Now altcoins also started to get popular. In the near future they can also become a good competitor to bitcoin.

Bitcoin just got the highest price thats why many people use it. But thay also use other cryptocurrency because they also want to earn bitcoin, if you know what I mean.
They mine other altcoins because it is easy to mine than bitcoin. Bitcoin is really hard now to mine, thats why we just mine altcoin and trade it to bitcoin.
yes that is a fact that people are purchasing bitcoin because they are expecting that the  price of bitcoin will increase more and and we can see that the price is trading above 1250 and still its price is continuously increasing

Yes bitcoin attract more because of  the price rise especially before the ETF decision by SEC. But is has competition on the alt-coins market, like Etherum who is gaining a good volume of transactions lately and even got it ATH as well. But I think bitcoin price will continue to rise up so even If there's competition, bitcoin will just leave them behind in my opinion.
yes not a single currency can compete with bitcoin, bitcoin is the world number one currency can will always remain as number i do not think that there is any single currency which can take the place of bitcoin.
No. Even the prices of Bitcoin is very high, we can not deny that there are still many cryptocurrencies out there which are stronger and more effective than Bitcoin. Ethereum, zcash, Dash, Litecoin, etc are all Bitcoin competitors and you can only realize how useful it can be when you use it everyday

If they are so strong, why are they so cheap?


They are strong, but they don't have more publicity like Bitcoin that is why it's cheaper than Bitcoin. But in future, any one of then may give competition to Bitcoin. Why Bitcoin is more popular means all online gambling site are promoting this currency and many people are invested on Bitcoin that is why the Bitcoin price is so high.

If they are so strong, why are they so cheap?

I don't deny that some of altcoins may be more handy or just better in a certain field of application, for example, Litecoin transactions are inexpensive and pretty fast. But if we are to honestly face the facts and skip bullshit, Bitcoin is by far the most popular coin among cryptocurrencies. As to me, that's the main measure of coin success. In other words, the features that make any other specific currency better and stronger than Bitcoin (according to you) are still not enough to make them more popular than Bitcoin

Strong in what way? Because if you meant about strong support in the supply and demand, it's obvious that bitcoin is on top of any other coins. Maybe other coins are much more effective than bitcoin when it comes to transaction time but it's still not enough reason for bitcoin users to switch to another coin.

That's another problem. Personally, I've never used those coins, let alone use them everyday. People will never realize how useful some altcoins are because most of us think, and it's actually the case, that altcoins are just there so that we can trade something and earn money from it.

it may take some time but there will be, either Eth or DASH will soon rise you to compete BTC with almost same price. the crypto market has been exposed to people who are looking for investment through the help of SEC and now they are gathering as much as they can. prices will soon rise.

I don't think so this will happen in next 5 years, Dash has tedency to increase their price but to compete bitcoin it take a long time. Replacement of bitcoin is possible but not as easy as you think, bitcoin will give tough time to one who wants to replace bitcoin.
Bitcoin as an alternate has got more competence than the other digital currency that's been circulating around the digital network. people have starting give importance as an investment. This is a major advantage for the bitcoin to be strong enough in the lead.

The trend seems to be people hyping up some coin and then everyone starts buying it, then something happens and people start running back to Bitcoin. How much of this is manipulation of the

markets, will probably never be known. Bitcoin is to Crypto currency, like Gold is for other commodities... a safe heaven against the storm.  Roll Eyes ...The Mommy to run to, when you get hurt.  Wink ... The

Mother of All Crypto currencies.  Grin Grin Grin

Thats a great analogy my friend Smiley

It's not even happening, bitcoin is more stronger than Dash and it's obvious when you compare the value and the number of people adopting it. Bitcoin is still the most dominant crypto currency and will continue be the number one because we are supporting it. There are whales who are holding a big volume of bitcoins and they will not allow any crypto currency to surpass the popularity of bitcoin. Also, if you check on the services online especially the gambling sites, most of them are using bitcoin while only small number of sites are accepting altcoins at the same time.
