I think it is hard for the people put big money into alts until whenever altcoins will never be able to fight bitcoin even though there are some coins that have big pontential but I believe bitcoin will still stand strong itself.

I have been seeing Bitcoins' price rising with a stability in its growth, but due to the higher mining fee that is being levied on transactions these days, big businesses are now moving their funds towards alts and taking advantage with their least fees as well as shaping a completely new economy in the trends of altcoin markets. Do you think this may harm Bitcoin's dignity and open up a chance in real for alts to rise?

I don't think so that there is an altcoins have chances to beat bitcoin, and even there is big businesses are moving their funds towards altcoins it may not harm bitcoins as well, due to bitcoin will still bringing up to the higher level of demand by the bitcoin community.

plenty altcoins came and go most of them could survive but some of them also eventually became an dead coin however in this case i would see from the price side and how much price worth for the particular altcoins but untill now i didn't see any altcoin could through bitcoin from the price side so altcoin against bitcoin certainly bitcoin will be the winner and there is no altcoin could surpassing bitcoin from all sides

An altcoin should be a complement to BTC, not its replacement, to improve the cryptocurrency/blockchain solution. Thinking that way is more one competition between altcoins to see who has the best solution to a given problem than against BTC. In this scenario, ETH, LTC, Zcash, and Monero look like to have better chances than other cryptos.

of course yes. Altcoins are now following the Bitcoin path and the prices of all have been increase for at least 3 times. Look at eth, litecoin and dash have done. Also ripple, it prices has been x10 since the early of 2017

I highly doubt it.  I think theres always a chance, rightly so that alt coins will rise organically too but the fact is btc is actually essential the very existence of most, if not all the alt coins to date.

in my opinion , altcoin can not chances against bitcoin because the altcoin there is not value without bitcoin

Everything is possible and is time to take advantage with this situation, gain more Bitcoin with trading altcoin and save the profit for the best moments when Bitcoin more valuable than now, cause maybe this situation can be change in another day, so enjoying the moment.

i dont really believe so. but if btc doesnt do anything for the scalability something can happen.

The Reason BTC is Dying

is the Following

Am I the only one realizing that ~$1 fee to make a transaction is absolutely insane and defeats one of the core benefits of using bitcoin for daily transactions.

This is getting insane and is completely uncalled for, or am I wrong?

The reason none of the other Alts beside LTC are going to skyrocket ,
is only LTC is getting the direct LTC/Fiat Wallet on Coinbase.

It is all about the fee system.

And the reason , BTC is not a Store of Value
It requires millions of Dollars every month to keep the BTC network running,
thinking that outflow of money can continue to happen , when there are no transactions to help finance the miners, only proves the person believing that is a moron.
Gold or Silver you can store and forget til you need it,
BTC requires blockchain updates and multi million dollar infrastructure to keep it running, and they can't survive forever without transactions fees.

Saying BTC is a store of value, is like saying a walmart gift card is a store of value, because you can not guarantee the store will not be closed before you need to redeem it.
No BTC miners and your BTC is worthless, because it is frozen in a dead blockchain.

FYI:
No BTC Transactions = No Transaction Fees = No BTC Miners = Frozen Blockchain = Dead Bitcoin

 Cool

Everything is possible, because it is not controlled by anyone and the bubble can burst at any moment. The whole growth depends on the activity of users, if the activity decreases, bitcoin will lose the advantage.

Yeah everything is possible and if you think that it's possible that bitcoin will be replace by an alt or let's specifically say ETH.

Consider first it's marketcap, it has the highest market cap and I really don't think that any of them will have a chance against with it.

And I believe that everything is possible to bitcoin when it comes to pricing, it can fly to the moon.

I think everything is possible, now with 1 wallet etherium we could save a lot of altcoin and of course dev. etherium would do the best strategy to be number 1.

I don't think "one wallet to store them all" is actually a good idea because the thief only have to find one Private key to hack everything from you. Also, there are exchanges out there that holds most of the altcoins, even the ones that doesn't have an ETH contract.

I think that Eth actually stand a chance against bitcoins, at least to reach a competitive level if not surpass bitcoins. Because new altcoins are using ETH contract. That serves as an advertisement to both coins. The new altcoin rides with the popularity of ETH and ETH gets new investors because of the people that have seen the advertisement of the new altcoin.

Transact Safer / Chase Better
Coinbase is now accepting payments for litecoin.

If more retailers accept alts, that could easily increase their usage volume and demand to a point where they're able to compete with btc.

Its retailers and services like coinbase who will determine how well alts perform.
Maybe the reason why LTC is skyrocketing now, I failed to buy when the price was low but I never regret
because I also have my bitcoin increasing in value.

Old alts has a chance, LTC, DASH, and ETH.

Yes, there are big chances in the market where people are completely attracting to the altcoin and bitcoin makes them drive to the cryptocurrency industry. Very soon many old coins like XMR, LTC, DASH, ETH, XRP will increase their value.

True, with altcoin sophistication it may be that users will be interested to use the altcoin and will start using that altcoin and will probably switch from bitcoin

Alts like Ether that provide a true value to the market, have a chance at competing with BTC, but more importantly, the alt market as a whole is already thriving. BTC dominance is getting lower over time, the current rise has slightly stopped that, but over time it will likely continue. BTC will most likely remain the top crypto, but a lot is happening in the space.
I do not believe that it will happen that any other coin like Ether will come and will replace of threat bitcoin as these coins do not have that much ability to compete bitcoin as they themselves are in the way to proof their ability which is not yet as people still doubt on the ability of other coins while in case of bitcoin everyone believe on it hat yes this coin is getting the success and will not be able to drop down in the future as many companies are coming and are adopting bitcoin as their currency for their clients.

You may have a point but remember Eth has several contracts under its banner. This tokens may increase its value over time and possibly surpassed bitcoin in their accumulated total but its only an opinion. Bitcoin is already establish and it becomes already a de facto cryptocurrency where most altcoins in trading is pair to btc.
Everything is possible and so does altcoin overtaking the place of bitcoin and be number 1 leading all cryptos, just see how btc dominance changes drastically in recent time, If I recall, bitcoin dominance towards altcoin a year ago was above 70% but now it's only 56.5% (source http://coinmarketcap.com/). it's a clear sign that altcoins are now attracts more attention that many investors are now starting to invest into altcoin and be ready to grow up their wealth. Everything will have its end.

Yes, everything is possible. Depends only on users, because crypto currency depends only on their activity.

ETH and waves are in demand now,they does provide development and tries to make a way to line with bitcoin. Those two were currently used in Encryptotel.

I also failed to buy litecoins for a low price because i see that it jumps from $4 to around $15 and i think that is the final destination of the price but i'm wrong it keep going up just like the other atltcoins even if the price of bitcoin is high now. I think the altcoin market is dangerous right now because this kind of behavior for altcoins are very weird. So i just stay from holding bitcoin because i feel safe with it.
