Between Raiblocks and Bitcoin Cash, I also would choose Raiblocks rather than Bitcoin Cash. Although it is not my first choice of altcoin to replace Bitcoin. And yes there are other better altcoins than that of Bitcoin Cash.

You early bite Bitcoin. In the near future will make a number of changes in its code and everything will fly! Bitcoin was, is and will be a long time crypto currency number 1!

I thought the same with you. Bitcoin was , is and will be number one always in future. King of cryptocurrency is bitcoin no other altcoin can change it. All the exchange offer market pair into bitcoin not other altcoin. However if bitcoin will be changed and it will be changed by etherium.
Well there's 2 side of thoughts: mine is that Bitcoin, at its current stage, can't be fixed. Changing Bitcoin to work like RaiBlocks would have more chance that break it than fix it and taking an even 0.00001% of chance to break this now "virtual gold" is not an option. Bitcoin will unfornately stay like it is. It remains a safe investment as it will remain the first for all coins, but one coin will have to take over the mass adoption role.

I do not see why only those two altcoin are the only ones with legitimate aspirations to displace the bitcoin from its current leadership. In fact I do not even see in the near future that bitcoin can lose its hegemonic place as the most popular and coveted of all cryptos, although I have no doubt that eventually and by mere speculation some other coin could take in a temporary mod the first place in marketcap. In addition raiblocks is a very new altcoin that few really know, and there are still big projects to emerge throughout this year.
Well Bitcoin Cash is currently the one competing the most with Bitcoin because mainly of its market cap (Ripple and ETH are too different to be competitors)

Why RaiBlocks is a new competitors that should scare Bitcoin much more than like Litecoin or other coins that have the same purpose? Because RaiBlocks does PERFECTLY what Bitcoin try to do but fails at. RaiBlocks is a completely new technology that is far better than the one created by Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi did a good job but probably didn't expect his coin to be as much popular and before RaiBocks there was surprisingly no coin that could claim to have unlimited scalability. We now have a coin that offers all what we want for a mass adoption distributed currency.

Well it's just won the Binance vote so it has at least 1 good exchange now at least.

Most of the marketing has been from the community/word of mouth. I think it could go far without a huge marketing budget because the tech's so solid. Those who try it love it.

I agree on the fact that some coin will at some point replace BTC, which doesn't really work fine any more - just look at the fees. Beyond RAIblocks, consider also Stellar and Byteball, both have very low fees and interesting tech.

That seems to be the consensus but I don't think that BTC will be overthrown actually. It may not have the best tech but I bet you at least 50% of people know of it now. If you go ask most people about Ripple and Ethereum they will most likely have no clue I would say a small percentage would know. It still is the leading crypto in terms of everything else, I thoroughly expect it to stay up top for a while longer.

To start I should say I don't think any coin can or should replace Bitcoin as the most dominant coin. Bitcoin started it all and we all trade and measure our portfolios in BTC. It has the recognition of casual investors and when the Lightning Network goes live the problem of moving it will be mostly solved.

However, if it were to be replaced, Bitcoin Cash is a pretty shit candidate. It offers nothing new. The only reason any of us pay it any mind at all is because it has "Bitcoin" in the name. If it were not for this, we'd all be scratching our heads trying to figure out why it's worth nearly $3000 (something which I don't think will last over the coming years, people will wake up and realise how unremarkable it is). It's value is almost entirely based on a few, very rich people pumping and manipulating it, something that could stop when they get bored and realise they've thrown enough money away on it.

If any coin should "replace" Bitcoin - it should be a coin that's its own thing. Coins that bring new features to the table. Apart from the obvious big candidates that are more useful than Bitcoin and BCH (Eth, Dash etc) there's coins which really could be far more-suitable for mainstream use.

Chief among them I think is Raiblocks. Despite being traded on very shitty exchanges (which it melted  Cheesy ) it's managed to become a top 20 coin. The main reason is no-fee transactions and low CPU-power footprint.

From the FAQ:

WHAT IS RAIBLOCKS?

RaiBlocks is a trustless, low-latency cryptocurrency that utilizes a novel block-lattice architecture, where each account has its own blockchain and achieves consensus via delegated Proof of Stake voting.

Offers feeless, instantaneous transactions, as well as unlimited scalability, making RaiBlocks ideal for peer-to-peer transactions.

The network requires minimal resources, no high-power mining hardware, and can process high transaction throughput.

To date, the RaiBlocks network has processed over four million transactions with an unpruned ledger size of only 1.7GB.



So rather than the big blocks vs lightning network war, Raiblocks is good tech that solves all of the problems related to sending or withdrawing cryptocurrencies from exchanges (despite recent problems related to a malfunctioning node). And while it's not exactly a low-maximum-supply coin, its supply of 133,248,290 XRB is low enough for it to act as a store of value. If it were listed on decent exchanges (Binance coming soon?) and if you could trade other currencies with it, I could see people doing all of their trading in Raiblocks. If for no other reason that it will be free to move around.

There are also other far better candidates than BCH. An outsider like Phore could also shake things up, especially when their marketplace (currently in closed beta) goes live. Marketplaces drove the early gains of BTC and Dash. With atomic swaps and smart contracts coming soon it could be an all-in-one coin which continues to shake things up (recent 10x growth).

Tl;dr:

Basically there's hundreds of better "Bitcoin replacement" coins than Bitcoin Cash, many of which actually bring something new to the table, so Roger Ver can suck it.

I agree that RaiBlocks would be a great coin to replace BTC. The fact that it can handle a large number of transactions extremely quickly with zero transaction fees and no need for mining, gives it a huge advantage. RaiBlocks seems to have tackled the scalability issue, but the big problem down the road is adoption. So marketing and user interfaces plus exchanges will play a large role.

Dag coins are currently the fastest coins, I understand scepticism because that claim has been made many times by many coins but it's true in Raiblock's case.

Because Raiblocks has zero transaction fees, you can try it for yourself without it costing you anything. Buy a little bit, create two wallets in different browsing windows using Raiwallet.com, send some to yourself and you'll see. It's not just hype it's the future of crypto.

BCash is a trashy forked coin,XRB is the new innovation zero tx fee and faster tx confirmation is awesome.

i prefer bcash from raiblocks, because its coin I think less so obviously I had time to have coin xrb from faucet as much as 3000 xrb but I already sell, if I save maybe I have become rich

I would have kept at least some.

Why do you prefer Bitcoin Cash? What's special about it? What does it do?

XRB has instant transactions and fee-less transactions, does Bitcoin Cash?

Bitcoin Cash's whole reason to exist is that it's faster and cheaper to move than BTC, but XRB is the fastest and cheapest coin to transact with, so why does Bitcoin Cash still need to exist? It's all based on having Bitcoin in the name.
Honestly bitcoin cash was nothing compared with DAG system that has been used by raiblocks, zero fees and instant transaction make it a very good choice to be alternative to bitcoin. the bitcoin cash developers are forgetting if there is a lot of coins that has better scalability than bitcoin cash. Bitcoin cash still included on the slow blockchain.

I don't get the hype around Raiblocks, doesn't Steem have just as fast blockchain transactions? And Larimer the developer of Steem is working on EOS which will even be faster. My money is on EOS
Nope, Steem slower behind, in terms of transaction speed: Steem < Ripple < RaiBlocks
But the hype about RaiBlocks is its -unlimited- scalability: the number of transaction per second that it can handle it not even know yet, it is at least more than 7k:

And it doesn't obtain that by magic: It is a completely new blockchain technology written from the ground up!

i would be rather that ethereum replace bitcoin but not raiblocks or bitcoin cash

because ethereum have the more users base and the development is also good .
If BTC should be replaced, it has to be by a coin that fix its issues. Ethereum has as many scaling issues as BTC currently.

There's no need to replace anything here because it's more good if we have it all like btc,xrb and bcc so i say in the future it can happen,All of the coins here need only support to authorized their coins in exchanger like btc to fiat and i think in some eth can be like that.I think also even we already authorized any coins to exchange in fiat still btc can't be replace because it's so good now.Moreover don't compare anything here but look what they can be in positive way like how can you use it in good way.

No way. Absolutely wrong assumption. If there is any coin that would replace Bitcoin, it would be ETH and not Railblocks.
Isn't the market full of shitcoins already? Do you really expect such shitcoins to replace BTC? You got to be kidding me if you think like that. This would show that you are not really as informed in regards to cryptos as of now.

I think that bitcoin will remain the top one. But if you choose between Raiblocks and Cash. That I would prefer Raiblocks. For a variety of transactions, this is one of the best solutions to date.

I do agree, Bitcoin cash is trash! XRB is a real nice coin, free transactions which are instant...  With Raiblocks there is no need for Bitcoin cash to exist at all

I think that we should discuss a possible candidate for the leader of the crypto currency, regardless of what we want to ensure that bitcoin has long remained in the lead. Bitcoin is now very patient with hundreds of thousands of hanging transactions and the high cost of fees. We are promised that these problems can correct the introduction of a network of lightning or SegWit, but we do not yet see a real result. If bitcoin does not eliminate its shortcomings, then the real contender can really be bitcoin cash, which is just different from the original bitcoin just by the absence of those problems. which are now in the original bitkoin.
