Whoa whoa whoa, pump the brakes bro!  Before you start throwing out the Myspace analogies, take a look at the big picture:



Next in line is Ripple, and they're still quite a few magnitudes away from even sniffing Bitcoin's level.

Let's all take a breath and see things as they are.  Until something bigger comes along, there is none.

Well, That is sort of my point.  When Myspace came along Facebook was absolutely nothing.  It was sort of a fresh, just like Bitcoin was if you will.  Once Facebook went public, and Myspace already started putting out ads Facebook came back and went public and took over everything....
If you look at longer term charts you will see that the price of most altcoins have been on a long term price decline. While bitcoin has not.

Facebook added real new features to social networking that myspace did not offer. It was not merely a copy of myspace. The altcoins on the other hand do not add anything that bitcoin does not offer and is actually less secure making them less attractive

It's like saying Facebook will be bigger than the internet, at least for now.

Ofcourse it will be bigger than facebook!

If you were to put it into real life aspects it would be like bitcoin being the internet and facebook being a feature/platform/app built on top of it that uses the technology to provide a service.

There will be a time where we will have a decentralized facebook!!! **fingers crossed in hope**

Cheers

Comparison doesn't have any sense.... you can't compare a website with a currency... earth and the sky... different things

Bitcoin is not really a currency. The value is backed by literally no one.

All of us using it and exchanging it for things others value, are backing it. It is backed by the only thing that matters in the long run, people who have faith in it. Take away the (fire)power of governments, and how much backing would their monopoly-money (pun intended) currencies have?

Comparing Bitcoin with Facebook is.. way too 'off'. Comparing Bitcoin to alt coin or Facebook to Twitter is better.

Well, Bitcoin will only be better if Facebook accept Bitcoin as payment.

what do you mean by bigger do you mean in user number or in total  value?

Market cap and brand value.

Is anyone else concerned that Bitcoin will be like Myspace?  It looks like that more and more each day is the price goes down.  Which means some other coin will come along and be bigger than bitcoin and it will be like Facebook....

i will take time to pass but i agree.
lot will happen maybe some coin will drop out others will come in no one now for sure.
yet it will be seen in following months.

I dont think that they integrate any crypto just yet.

More they will hold and wait if someone else on social network do it first to see how it look and function.

My guess is that btc will really hit the high market cap notes in 2016 with significant momentum built starting the second half of next year with the next halving on the horizon and forward inflation coming down. And adoption.
No question that it's gonna be bigger than FB in time.
