No Way!.........unless sha256 is compromised.

It's not a problem if sha256 is broken, and this was already said by Satoshi, so it's just a matter of changing algo.

not an easy task as you think, because what miners can do then? get rid of their whole 300 peta hash and start all over again...no way it would be one of the biggest waste of money...

it would mean the death of bitcoin as we know it now

What else could you possibly do..... If sha256 was broken the miners would be worthless instantly bitcoin would HAVE to change the algo. Once one can solve private keys from public it's gg for SHA256.

GPU's would rise again from the ashes.

it should be a gradually change if they really need to change because of quantum computer(are you ttalking about this right?), so it must be done many years before it happen

the problem is that it can be build secretly by some huge company, then bitcoin will be indeed screwed

Thank you for your kind words and condolences. But really, the money I'm making is reward enough.

The OP is finding out that it's easy to laugh at Bitcoin holders in a bear market, but that it's impossible to laugh at them in a bull market. Now the tables are turned and we can laugh at him for not buying in when he had the perfect opportunity.

I've never been remotely interested in buying altcoins, I just don't trust them or believe they have any real future.
As far as the success of cryptocurrency is involved it's Bitcoin or nothing imo.
I just don't think any altcoin offers anything to me/us that bitcoin doesn't.
As far as the OP title goes - Bitcoin is going nowhere.
2016 will be a big year for bitcoin & I believe is the time we really start to see results.

The other altcoin offer nothing new except promises and attract people portraying they will make more money through it, but nothing about building a community and watching its future as a currency. Its all the same, 2016 will shut all of em because it will be the year of bitcoin.

Satoshi is rolling in his grave. #bitcoin

I would love to see Bitcoin die or at least to colapse to 1USD/Btc . I would buy all of them then Grin

And that is exactly the reason why it will never happen. If bitcoin was to fail, it would be needed for a ton of people and infrastructure, and ideas to disappear.
I'm sure there were threads like this, but with people wanting the price to go to 0.60$, and im sure there will be threads in the future wanting the price to be 300 $ again.
Why resist the movement when you can join the club ?

Most money that comes to altcoin goes thru Bitcoin. So without altcoins, Bitcoin would be much less used at this point. It is impossible to say that bitcoin would die because of altcoins, but opposite. Bitcoin is way more alive because of altcoins.

This is coming from someone who got away with turning $3,000 into $50,000 from trading alt coins between 2013 and 2014 (Lite, Dark, Asia, Liberty, Voot).

I still feel somewhat dirty because I know a lot of people got trapped holding the bags.

Only Litecoin used to be legitimate and Darkcoin dev had good intentions too back then.

Only invest in alt coins if you are inside trading. Never try to chase a pump. You will get rekt.

Litecoin is still legitimate, one of the few coins where there was No premine by Dev.

You also know the term insta-mining, right?

If you closely investigate the addresses, and especially the addresses who received a massive amount of freshly mined litecoins at the very early stage of litecoin, you would see a pattern Wink

Can't be worse than Bitcoin unless it's darkcoin. lulz

You are not seeing bigger picture. It doesn't matter how bad and evil bitcoin is, or how good some altcoins are. Bitcoin is not even first cryptocurrency. But whether we like it or not, it represent THE cryptocurrency. Therefore, if bitcoin fails, mainstream will see THE cryptocurrency failed. If bitcoin succeeds, mainstream will see there are "other" cryptocurrencies. You may feel it's not fair, but altcoins can't get rid of "alt" until main adoption of bitcoin.

I don't agree with this at all. I see comments like this as biased bagholder-talk.

It's not some fuzzy feeling that 2016 will be a big year. If you look at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply for projected bitcoins, reward per block will be half(12.5) at the end of 2016. This sudden drop of available bitcoins will trigger price rise.

I have a different perception ... especially of darkcoin which was heavily instamined. In my opinion bitcoin is a ninjalaunch/stealthmine scam too with very bad distribution of wealth. Bitcoin basically represents the concept of "dev premines a coin with his buddies for 6 to 18 months before releasing it to the world". So let's just say ALL coins are scam, honey; not just every coin except the ones you hold. Alrighty?

On my part i see some legit alts too. I wouldn't say they are all scams. Most of them, but really not all.

I don't see why we actually even use the term "altcoins". In reality it's "cryptocurrency" and bitcoin is not special at all.

if you think bitcoin is risky (which is very true), any altcoins are riskier. Altcoins cannot succeed without bitcoin's success. Bitcoin's success and mass adoption is the ultimate indicator that some altcoins may have a chance of survival.

i was not talking about pure clone, litecoin is not a non-clone because it use scrypt you know, the same for darkcoin or any other crap release today too, a clone is still a clone, as long as they share the base with bitcoin

it was available to everyone if you missed it it was your fault, i remember there were already video in 2009-2010 and official site(bitcoin.org) was running up by that time

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/History, it's not like it was hidden by satoshi so he could instamine a coin that was worth zero, come on be serious...

The fact remains that bitcoins' distribution is the worst of almost all coins due to the fact that information does not spread as fast.

An altcoin that's 2 years old today normally has a much better distribution than bitcoin had when it was the same age. It is a provable fact that altcoins are much fairer distributed than Bitcoin could ever have been... and people know it and that's why the network effect of Bitcoin will be outdone by any altcoin with a better wealthdistribution on the longterm timeframe.

Bitcoins' networkeffect is inferior to that of popular altcoins on the longterm timeframe.

again the distribution started slowly, because it was something new, something untrusted by any average joe, you can't blame satoshi or bitcoin for that, "they" have nothing to do with it

it is just the mentality of the people that should be blamed, and then it's obvious that with altcoin there were a better distrubution(actually only after doge, this was achieved, before that there was still a niche market and many instamining shit, like quark...), everyone knew about crypto by that time, so they jumped in for every new one

My condolences to the bitcoin die hards. You're looking at more slow decline or best case stagnation with some random little pump and dumps during next months while we rock the shit on alts in the foreseeable future. Soome hefty gains happening right now.
Don't get stuck holding a bag. 100% portofolio in old bitcoin is risky business.

I've never been remotely interested in buying altcoins, I just don't trust them or believe they have any real future.
As far as the success of cryptocurrency is involved it's Bitcoin or nothing imo.
I just don't think any altcoin offers anything to me/us that bitcoin doesn't.
As far as the OP title goes - Bitcoin is going nowhere.
2016 will be a big year for bitcoin & I believe is the time we really start to see results.

i was not talking about pure clone, litecoin is not a non-clone because it use scrypt you know, the same for darkcoin or any other crap release today too, a clone is still a clone, as long as they share the base with bitcoin

it was available to everyone if you missed it it was your fault, i remember there were already video in 2009-2010 and official site(bitcoin.org) was running up by that time

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/History, it's not like it was hidden by satoshi so he could instamine a coin that was worth zero, come on be serious...

The fact remains that bitcoins' distribution is the worst of almost all coins due to the fact that information does not spread as fast.

An altcoin that's 2 years old today normally has a much better distribution than bitcoin had when it was the same age. It is a provable fact that altcoins are much fairer distributed than Bitcoin could ever have been... and people know it and that's why the network effect of Bitcoin will be outdone by any altcoin with a better wealthdistribution on the longterm timeframe.

Bitcoins' networkeffect is inferior to that of popular altcoins on the longterm timeframe.

bitcoin is special because it is the first, the others are clone, bitcoin it is not

First mover wears off.
Not all coins are a clone of Bitcoin. In fact these days none of the coins is a clone of bitcoin anymore. Nobody clones bitcoin anymore, really. A clone 1 to 1 wouldn't even go to exchanges or be mined nowadays.

bitcoin was released to everyone, the problem lies in the people of that time that saw it as a scam or virus, they didn't trust it, not certainly a bitcoin fault

How was it released to "everyone"? How? Who is "everyone"? A few people on a mailinglist for cryptography, that's who. (the dev and his buddies)
Normal people who were not on the mailinglist heard about it years later when silk road and the first bubble made headlines in also only a very few blogs and special interest magazines. In no way was it released to "everyone". Altcoins have been released to "everyone" after cryptocurrency NOW is widely known. Before 2012 nobody ever heard of it and a VERY SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE were mining HIGH REWARDS on LOW DIFFICULTY on their LAPTOP CPUs.

It was a ninjalaunch and stealthmine which went on for years and led to miserable wealth distribution. Can't be denied.
There is even evidence to be found in the old archives that show satoshi did not want it to go public too early. Wonder why ... so he can mine with his Laptop some more hundreds of thousands with his other 20 to 40 friends.

also he wasn't a propaganda man, it was difficult for him to spread the news regarding that new technology called bitcoin
