LTC is a clone that is less secure than BTC currently.

What updates would threaten their power?
The current updates would ensure and secure their positions even more.

The game can't be over forever.
If China falls into revolution or economic collapse, their mining community could disappear.
You are assuming the Chinese government will continue to allow their wealth to go into Western hands.
One day, the Chinese elites will have moved all their assets out, and then the game changes.
Power can not last forever.

LTC is just as secure as BTC, since China controls both.

The Blocksize updates (XT / Unlimited), they refused because their internet infrastructure can't handle the increased size.
Meaning they would lose their 51% control.

LOL, if China falls in revolution , we might be looking at a world war, BTC will be the least of my concerns then.
When you watch a race and someone wins, do they keep backing up and rerunning the same race.
No they don't , a new race starts, with different runners.
Crypto will have different runners in the next race , where China has not already won,
there is literally no other way to defeat their dominance in a race they already won.

Power can easily last for a century , so for most it will be forever.

The Chinese mining community can and do control all different type of crypto currencies.
They can because they can do it cheaper than anyone else.

The Chinese miners don't know which way it up, they just want da money.
You could sell them anything and they will eat it up and smile.

Power doesn't last forever.

Like I said , You are trusting the Chinese with BTC,
why the apprehension about trusting them with LTC, make no sense.

LOL,
Chinese are blocking all updates, that could threaten their power.
In BTC case , China won the BTC race and the game is over forever.

 Cool

Easier to start an entirely new crypto, than waste time fighting them in a war they already won.

I don't agree at all with that guy. If people sticks to using crypto-currencies, they will stick to Bitcoin.

Hmm,

So you keep using a coin that takes hour to confirm, no updates because the Chinese won't allow it, and cost you more to send it than every other crypto.

Do you think you and the 3 other guys that like wasting time and money can support the entire BTC network?   Tongue

I am already using other cryptos,
1  For the Faster Speed
2  No Transactions problems
3. It is Cheaper

 Cool

1 Faster speed -  means a decrease in security. Faster block = More confirms required.
2 Transactions problems - don't exist likely because no one uses those cryptos.
3 Cheaper - is worthless when transferring or transacting an actual value amount.

China controls BTC & LTC
you're trusting China with BTC security,
Why don't you trust China with LTC Security?

I could say LTC does not have transactions problems because it has 4X the transaction capacity of BTC.

Only the Stupid waste money for no reason,
LTC is just as secure and can transmit value better than BTC.

 Cool

FYI:
You guys want to create a false religion out of BTC, then fix it.
Opps , Nevermind the Chinese won't let you.  Tongue

you're trusting China with BTC security,
Why don't you trust China with LTC Security?

LTC 2.5 minute Blocks : 6 Full Confirmations take ~15 minutes
BTC 10 minutes Blocks: 3 Full Confirmations take ~30 minutes , if the transaction issues don't extend it to hours or days.
China could overwrite the last 10 hours of BTC whenever they feel like, so you are trusting China not too, no matter what you say.

I could say LTC does not have transactions problems because it has 4X the transaction capacity of BTC.

It s quite possible BTC gets replaced by something more modern and innovative. Still, I think cryptocurrencies, as a concept, will continue growing and developing.

Bitcoin will be it, no matter whichever comes up because many came before, but none was able to compete bitcoins because bitcoins are the best and it is only the most modern and innovative thing that is currently very new to many people, and will take even more time to get completely developed. Anyone saying anything has nothing to do with the prestige of bitcoins, because it's been there since many years, and have many more years to come.

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.
The source of the statement is from this article http://www.newsbtc.com/2016/11/20/circle-ceo-nobody-will-using-bitcoin-5-10-years/

So I ask this. As the growth of the darknet market place every year keeps going higher and higher, the possibility of it becoming a multi billion market place is not too far to reach. What currency will it use of not Bitcoin?

Does the CEO of Circle knows what he is talking about at all? Most of the so called "experts" in the Bitcoin and blockchain world do not know what they are talking about because it is all still new.

For me the people to listen to about blockchains are Peter Todd, Gregory Maxwell, Adam Back, Luke-Jr and there might be some names I have forgotten so please post them in here.
That's impossible for 5-10 years its too early bro and time to time bitcoin users get multiplied every year so there's no reason why no body will use bitcoin with that year and no alts will replace bitcoin. Its only their opinion and specially to  get more attention. Lol.

wasn't this guy involved with the birth of netscape? in that case maybe he knows a thing or two about being left behind. however, netscape was just another search engine. they can be replaced with a click.

something like bitcoin is the entire deal. and it's nothing something people can jump away from without losing what they put in. the incentive is there to keep making it better rather than replace it.

and i think bitcoin's direct usage on dark markets days are numbered. analysis is getting better and better all the time.

Sure of course everything is possible.
Also that Bitcoin will be the dominant transaction protocol of the future.
But Allaire is saying that Bitcoin won't be used in 5-10 years with such confidence, that I really ask myself what the hell is going on in his head?!
To me this spreading uncertainty and fear inside the Bitcoin community.And there must be a certain reason or some hidden agenda going for saying something like that!

I have a theory, I think he is trying to launch another Altcoin to compete with Bitcoin (Another anonymous coin), and he needs market attention. Most of these guys will be jealous of project like Zcash with 10% of the tokens going to developers, he needs is own payday

Most probably this. It's not worth us even giving this guy the air time, he's craving attention here. Nothing to see, let's all move on  Angry

      I can't understand the example and the comparison of btc with netscape navigator. Someone, must reminds him that Microsoft had bought netscape and after that we have the development of Firefox. So if this comparison was not a bad joke, I think that Circle's CEO must serves another personal purposes. Wait to see.

Jeremy Allaire is full of shit for the reasons elucidated here: http://moriartybitcoin.com/?p=87

how is this guy the CEO of a bitcoin tech company?  From his ludicrous comments, he's barely qualified to be CEO of Dunkin Donuts
Indeed he is not qualified to be the CEO of a bitcoin tech company and he just insulted the bitcoin community by labeling us gamblers and tax evaders! So then he knowingly floated a company and profiting from tax evaders, is that? Only numskulls get to bite the fingers that feeds them, so he has made his stand clear and those patronizing his site should know they are dealing with a traitor who would rather bitcoin is regulated.

I am however impressed with the comments on the very post, wish he gets to read them to understand that the revolution has already started and the world indeed can do without the best man.

well that is his prediction, so be it. Why are some people going ga-ga over a CEO's opinion, probably because of the Hollywood culture pushed down our throats where we have to respect and listen to anything someone "famous" or in a high-position says. I do not disagree or agree with his statement as I cannot predict what will happen in 5 years. But, I  am not scared, if BTC dies something else will come.

Maybe he has also a basis to say it to back up his claims or he is only speculating to pull down the bitcoin price?Whatever his motive, the community do not want bitcoin to fail. If ever they can impove the way bitcoin is transacted or rename it to another name, we do not know. As long as of now, bitcoin is valued as $19 billions in marketcapitalization? Too big to fail.

In short, Circle CEO is either dumbass or just hate bitcoin/blockchain technology. Comparing bitcoin with netscape is like comparing apple with orange Roll Eyes
I think he meant to say that "Nobody Will Be Using Circle in 5 to 10 Years"

Even regular bitcoiner or tech geek is still better than him to take CEO roles.

640K ought to be enough for anybody

Any CEO can say anything. They don't have the crystal ball. They know their business now. And tomorrow.. they'll adapt or not.
And what big company is Circle?

Maybe trying to get easy advertising, maybe not, but his statement means absolutely nothing.
