Topic: Bitcoin may not be number one for long - page 40. (Read 28298 times)
For the previous number of months, the industry caps of Ethereum and Bitcoin have remained nearly equivalent in measurement. No one understands which a single of them will get in the conclude. If SegWit is executed, then the probabilities are that Bitcoin will emerge as the dominant forex, and Ether will fade in to oblivion. But if some bug is located with SegWit, or if it can not be activated, then ETH will be obtaining a very good shot at the prime placement.
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.
It will not going to happen for sure as we can see bitcoin is doing great and just fine. The huge value gap is so much big for ethereum to absorb how much more for the foundation and trust that already made by bitcoin to the people especially the investors. People are already give their full confident to the bitcoin after their hardship experience and survived nobody can take that not even any altcoin that exist.
Right. Splits have happened before and instead of other alts catching up, bitcoin just widens the lead over them. Though i agree that the etherium platform is quite better than btc, many people would overlook that with all the benefits btc have provided them

As of now i cant see an altcoin can surpass bitcoin in the near future.
Despite bitcoin lacking features which other altcoins has it will still thrive for long time since most of the cryptocurrencies values it more as compared to other altcoins.
Let us remember that price of coins qill be greatly affected by the demand from users. And as of now the demand for bitcoin is great.
well i think bitcoin is already no.1 for a long time.i really believe that no one can surpass bitcoin through the years.i really saw the beauty of bitcoin through it features maybe it will be going to be more improve someday.it is really hard to predict on what will really happen to bitcoin .all i can see that bitcoin really helps and bitcoin is my fassion.so im pretty loyal to it.and evwn if there are another coin surpass bitcoin i will still on bitcoin side .Despite bitcoin lacking features which other altcoins has it will still thrive for long time since most of the cryptocurrencies values it more as compared to other altcoins.

It is possible that bitcoin will not be the number one cryptocurrency in the future and there are some cryptocurrency that will pass or be better than bitcoin. Since our technology is continuing to develop, there will be new cryptocurrency that will rise in the future that has more good features than bitcoin.
Yeah obvious and sa real truth that may possibly come up alongside in our long way into cryptocurrency in future years,bitcoins is strong and leading for now but the thing is can it adopt to changes and competitors witht this new altcoins that competing towards it
I'm sorry you feel that way but this is not the case. Bitcoin is stronger than ever. Look at the price and all the bullshit that has been happening in the media. No matter what BTC gets thrown at it, it continues to get stronger.
i don't think so. in this digital platform still, Bitcoin is unparallel. Bitcoin is fully unbeatable for the other potential token or any coin. i think Bitcoin will continue its domination over this platform for a long time period. I believe that Bitcoin will be the global currency in the future and it will be the most strong currency.
There is absolutely no reason why BTC has to be the number one coin. If a stronger and more popular competitor comes onto the scene then Bitcoin could easily lost its place. Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash are probably the strongest possibilites at the moment.
Ethereum is controlled by Developer and any time if he wants can dump the coin and run away and you can see the result of his wrong speech on last occasion which made the coin to crash high. Bitcoin Cash is nothing but the clone coin of Bitcoin without any value. I think Bitcoin has still lot of potential to handle this type of situations.

I believe that the Bitcoin marketcap will strongly increase after the hard fork in november is settled.
Yeah.I guess the exchange rates may cross the $5K mark after the November hard fork. It may be a repeat of the events in August (when Bitcoin Cash split from Bitcoin). In mid-July, the exchange rates went as low as $1,800 per coin, before rising by 150% during August-September. If the same repeats in November-December, then we may witness exchange rates in excess of $10,000 per coin.
This is a really far-fetched assumption
If the past is of any relevance here, I'd rather say Bitcoin should first plunge to 3,000 dollars per coin (well, it already did exactly that some time ago) and then break the resistance at 5,000. But, as the saying goes, the lightning never strikes in the same place twice, so it is unlikely that we will see the same picture again. I'd venture a guess and say that we may in fact see the events unfold in the reverse order, i.e. the Bitcoin price will first rise and then crash massively. What d'ya think of that?

I think that in the near future bitcoin will still be number one. However, now there are altcoyins and startups, in which the transaction speed is faster, the commission for transfers is less, for example, bitshars. So, that soon everything can change.
I think Ethereum will beat BItcoin in marketcap, because Ethereum has a lot of ICO. Smart Contracts will help Ethereum to be more successful on their projects. but after a bull run. BItcoin will be no.1 because Bitcoin has a lot of merchants.
How can Ethereum beat bitcoin in marketcap because it has a lot of ICO,smart contracts are restricted in most countries and most of the projects are not that successful ,no coin will overcome bitcoin when it comes to price but market cap is not a bench mark as you could make an unlimited coin and over the limitations.

The danger posed by forks is overrated, in my opinion. There were warnings about the August 1 fork, and instead of crashing bitcoin hit new highs with Segwit. Even Ethereum has had a fork, and it has managed to become the number 2 cryptocurrency despite that. I suspect many major cryptocurrencies will fork with no long-term problems.
Bitcoin is number one not only because of it being introduced earlier than all the other currencies,but due to its potential.It has gained the trust of people almost all over the world and i think its difficult for any other currency to achieve that.It has successfully overcome lots of obstacles it has faced either due to governments and banks or greedy miners itself.Ethereum,Monero,Zcash which were once expected very much are not able to replace it.Bitcoin has given people a new means of earning option,cheap way of transacting,secured investment,free from government hands and i think that it would be hard for any other single altcoin to deliver such huge number of features.
In my view why the bitcoin is at number one spot is that it has limited amount of bitcoins,the value is 21 millions once it reaches that value no more bitcoin can be generated.So i think it makes people to work with the bitcoins and making then to have it one.And it also decentralized so it doesn't depends on any government and most importantly tax free.
I think that Bitcoins will be number 1 for a long period of time as it has gain people's trust which plays a large role in keeping bitcoins alive.Bitcoins price is heavily dependent on the demand of bitcoins from the people high the demand higher the price would be.And it would be hard for any other crypto currency to gain more support and trust than bitcoins as people are now used to bitcoins and its value is also too high compared to other cryptocurrencies.I see only ethereum has the potential to overcome bitcoins in very far in future.
