I can see many people blindly saying good things about Bitcoin by telling: "it is the first" "it is the king of crypto" "look how many exchangers accept it"

OK, now let's look at the facts. And why Bitcoin can lose its value dramatically.

1.Bitcoin is now almost useless as a currency (especially due to high fees).
2.Bitcoin is not the best option to accept donations through your website, or for your e-commerce.
3.Bitcoin is being seen by most as something you buy and wait, so you can make a profit as its price may increase.

And it is only that. There is no practical usage for the poor or for the small transactions anymore, unless you want to lose money.

It is turning into something useless, where you can only store your coins and let it there or transact huge amounts. Almost no practical usage.

Its reputation, history, hardware support, price in USD, acceptance in exchangers are just useless now, better alternatives exist, let's face it.

That is why I am dropping it in favor of another crypto currency. Bitcoin has no utility for me anymore.

All valid points, but this is still only the beginning. If the devs don't get it together more people will sour on bitcoin and perhaps never come back to it even if they fix it.

I see the alts have no chance against bitcoin. Bitcoin creat room in the market and other coin just follo bitcoin. Bitcoin is roll model to other coin. Alts coin just follo bitcoin.

Honestly, there's very few people that sincerely believe in the coin that they are holding. Most people are just investing in altcoins because they want to earn more bitcoins. They are promoting the coin and saying that they "truly" believe on it but that's just so other people will buy the coin.

Altcoins are not following bitcoins at all since altcoins are introducing us to different gimmicks that a coin can do. Unfortunately, none of these really matter except for Lightning network which no coin has as of now. Altcoins have followed bitcoin's concept but that's just it. There's not much update going on in bitcoins so altcoins have nothing to follow.

Bitcoin will always be the top cryptocurrency, alternatives are just copies of it or scamcoins. No altcoin will ever get past Bitcoin, even if it has some problems right now, but the problems will be fixed soon enough. No large company that accepts Bitcoin will ever accept some altcoin.

It is the king of all crypto currencies so why there's no chance of a new crypto currency or an alt coin to replace bitcoin from its current position and popularity. I don't focus with negative things about bitcoin instead of thinking about it, go for the positive way everything about it.

As said bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrencies. The altcoins were just the followers which got developed based on the bitcoin's technology. In reality altcoins support in the growth of bitcoin with the competence, but at any stand this won't make bitcoin fall to altcoins. Altcoins always serve as an alternate to bitcoin, same as bitcoin serves to the traditional currency.

Bitcoin has been here with us for ages with its admirable security who deflects all the attacks it has received throughout the years and the actual things that people have brought with this stands as a proof that Bitcoin is not a scamcoin or anything. It has introduced itself to the people as a coin with a lot of potentials that will benefit us all.

Yes. There are a lot of coins with huge potential.
ETH, XRP, DCR, LTC with recent pump, and future launched coins may be able to rise like BTC. Maybe not reach Bitcoin, but still have a big value in the market.

That digital currencies has huge potential, no one can deny that, but they don't have any chances agaisnt bitcoin, and if they do, they must have done it by now with the bitcoin has many problems. And I don't think that it has a chance, the way we call it, altcoin, it is just an altcoin.

I know at the end bitcoin will always be the first and most valuable coin. But this doesn't change the fact that there are tons of altcoins with great potential. So, who knows how much a altcoin can be worth in the future?

bitcoin will always be a leader for crypto currency and altcoin will follow bitcoin. if altcoin is really worth in the future, its still can not against bitcoin because altcoin have a different things than bitcoin but altcoin can help traders to gain profits as much as they can. with altcoin, we can trading altcoin with bitcoin to increase our bitcoin.

It's hard to actually speculate what will happen in the future for bitcoin but bitcoin has faced many issues in the past and still survive no matter what, if an scaling doesn't get implemented it might be possible that alts may replace bitcoin like ETH, DASH or MONERO.
bitcoin will get through because legends doesn't simply die.

Anything is possible but i dont think anybody see that happening at least wihtin the next few years./

Maybe not, but we can't predict the future. We never know if a huge company or even a country is going to adopt a cryptocurrency. Which can lead to a huge price rise. I trust that there are coins that will follow bitcoin wherever he goes.

ETH and XRP have a very real chance at going somewhere.

ETH still has 2 more implementation to undergo before it is considered mostly completed.

XRP has thing sunder development too right now and they just did a locked coin program where coins are locked up for awhile. That will make price go up.

XRP could get to a few dollars in USD soon, it was up from 5 cents to around 45 cents recently.

Hope you have some of everything!

Really it is they are many altcoins in the market you really have a high value like zcash, ethereum, monero etc. so they are almost like bitcoin but as we can see bitcoin is too far when it comes to price but the altcoin still have a chances becoming a successful too in the digital more and really they have a great potential.

Yes, they have chances against bitcoins. Especially bitcoins have a big issue lately, the confirmation for each transaction is so long to wait and makes the fee become high too. If the alts can see this and can make the transaction fast, i think it will be good for the alts.

The time of confirmation is not a big issue and I think the developers will be busy to solve that issue and if that issue is solved then the fees will also reduce and the main thing in bitcoin is the security of bitcoin. Bitcoin is a more stronger currency and is more secure which not other coins have so people will not like to risk their money.

Do you see alts have chances against Bitcoins?

I believe they have, but as payment systems (NETELLER, SKRILL, PAYZA, BITPAY) only care to accept Bitcoin deposits/withdrawals I have no choice. I would like to see another currency added, such as Litecoin because Bitcoin is no advantage for me anymore then I am dropping it.

If you think the same, please let our voices be heard and complain to each service you use.

Thank you!

Bisq is a Bitcoin Fiat Dex. Use responsibly

Litecoin has really good chance of becoming a major contender soon. It likely will be better than Bitcoin after the upcoming Lightening Network update. Bitcoin has been very disappointing thesedays. Competition is a beautiful thing

Bitcoin will keep going. Some alts may fill a niche or help in another area.

I am watching for any coin that goes for the medicine or science community. Something that is for funding these fields and a coin created to help poorer countries would be awesome.

Well bitcoin can fill any category of fields irrespective whether its commerce, science, business, satellite etc. It can also help poorer country as they can have their btc address and world can transfer the needy people btc to their address and they can sell it on local exchange and get money against it.
