maybe in the next 5 years bitcoin is still the number one in the world of cryptocurency, but judging by the development of many other coins, it is also possible that bitcoin can be replaced in the future, Nothing is impossible
Bitcoin is not going to be replaced in the next 5 year I would say that the possibility of that is almost zero, bitcoin is too strong and it is going to grow even more than it has now and with the new development in the network bitcoin is going to become even more useful and that is going to attract more investors to bitcoin. 
Topic: Bitcoin may not be number one for long - page 30. (Read 28298 times)
I am confident that the bitcoin hype will last for a longer time. I mean for us who deal with Bitcoin it is normal to discuss this topics. But do not forget the price is related mostly to the popularity of Bitcoin. If people think of Cryptocurrency, they think Bitcoin. And imagine that Bitcoin is not known to all World. It just started. So till the hype will slowdown a lot of time will pass. When we discuss what will be next King, in the rest of the world Bitcoin is new and the only things which will be talked.
Perhaps this will be coming soon, now fork this month has been cancelled, bitcoin may be recognized, but have to say, bitcoin has a lot of disadvantages, slow transfer, high transfer fees.
I thought for sure it would take until the end of 2018 but it looks like this summer ethereum might pass it up. With the turmoil around BTC potential splitting, it might be very soon. IMO this is healthy, we will always value bitcoin for being the one that started it all, but it's time for a more dynamic and adaptable currency to take the lead.
The thing is bitcoin has been number one for a long time. This may be the reason why people trust and choose bitcoin more among others. If ever bitcoin gets defeated by other cryptocurrencies, I'm quite sure that it will come back again.

You have a point but the thing here is, bitcoin is the first crypto currency in the making, not only that but also because it has the highest price of them all. There is no way that bitcoin will be passed by Ethereum, we know that there is a lot more better than bitcoin and ethereum still they are still staying at their prices and keeping their values up because there are a lot of people demanding of there cryptos.

Yes, forks are important, but forks may be a turning point. I think bitcoin now exists too big bubble, we should pay attention to the risk. Especially after the candy, there may be people
Completely agree. Reminds me of the operating system wars. Windows like bitcoin being inferior yet survived and maintained dominace through manipulation, hype and a rabid fanbase, resulting in decades of stagnation and forced mainstream adoption. Bitcoin may yet survive but not because it is better but because of what this site and many others like it are doing by basically being a marketing platform for it and ultimately... pushing this pig up the hill.

I don't believe the hype in any of these ICOs which are coming out and most are scams or likely scams in the long term. ICOs are just out to make their quick money and then bail on the project.
For this the bitcoin is best because all the people will have the bitcoin investment and I hope it will buy the more bitcoin for the people so this will be the best time for the people to increase the profit and the money for the people who are holding the bitcoin for the long time and they will get the profit I hope this will make the bitcoin more high and a lot of the people will buy the bitcoin all the capital they have.
Its a really hard operate for Bitcoin is the number one at block chain cryptocurrency. And it is difficult to surpass Bitcoin for the basis it built along its run. The Bitcoin investors, transactors, and employees which trust Bitcoin won't let Bitcoin fall for what its constructed but they will allow it to be able.

im absolutely in love with Ethereum, but i dont think it will surpass bitcoin in price. first off, if the prices start correcting that aggressively and dynamically, they are more likely to meet in the middle. you arent going to see bitcoin price stagnate long enough for eth for straight up outpace it; it will come down quite a bit as that capital flows out of bitcoin ans into eth. secondly, moreso than the price getting surpassed, I think we would see the volume getting surpassed. way easier feat to accomplish, and would make sense if the cause of the "shift" was organic, and not manufactured pump and dump bullshittery
The market cap of Bitcoin Cash has surged past $11 billion. Quite impressive for a crypto-currency, which was launched just 3 months back. 1 BCH coin is now worth almost 0.1 BTC. And the Core devs are refusing to do anything to resolve the scaling issues. This means that in the future there is a strong chance that BCH will replace BTC.

I dont think its gonna happen. What i am saying is bitcoin is too powerfull now, no coin can be competitor of this king coin.
So lets see if any coin born and maybe it will change bitcoin in the top. But i am sure it will not be etherium.
No one includes a thoughts to provide a guaranteed declaration that bitcoin will no longer be number one. Everybody explains having a dilemma it might happen as more digital forex with diverse functions were entering digital currencies market regularly. This might function as a competent, but by no means replace bitcoin.

There is a possibility that other cryptocurrency might pass bitcoin but we dont know when it will happen. Since there are many cryptocurrency that exist, some of them might have a potential to grow and develop more and as a result, it may rise and surpass other cryptocurrency in the top.
My point of view is Bitcoin is just eight years completed and seeing its performance lot of alternate coin has been created in line to it. It doesn't mean that others can overtake bitcoin also nothing is impossible but bitcoin has its own value and its rate proved that it is growing only so at least for next twenty five years it is not possible to defeat bitcoin and it is going to remain as No.1.
While I'm a big Ehtereum fan boy, I don't see it surprising Bitcoin's market cap any time soon, especially when investors with previously accurate predictions are estimating 20K+ within the next few years. That's one hell of a hill for any of the alts to climb.
Bitcoin will as longer if we look its reputation in and demand in the market,mainly it is noticed that global economy crisis there but still bitcoin demand and prices going up so it is expecting that it will be continue with same value and uniqueness.
I read articles about it, I think now it is not possible. It is very dangerous game.
Well since our technology keeps on growing, we can't tell that bitcoin will remain on top. But it doesn't matter for me because i believe that time is way too far from now and if it happens I am sure, I'm already rich because of bitcoin that time.
At this time Bitcoin is the undisputable one. Long life for Bitcoin.
