The concept itself of a Bitcoinkiller is quite silly, other than in hindsight should it ever happen. However, in there a dedicated thread to Metronome?

so what is Metronome and why would it be?

Basically its innovative characteristic is that the coin can switch between blockchains

don't think so, if it is been this easy, bitcoin would have been long gone. MTN has a different purpose. Bitcoin as the first coin will always value by the traders.

Seems like 2x is a non-starter so this is their new plan to undermine core?

This question makes me laugh.
1. A thread started with a question asked without any links, opinions from the OP or info to propose and therefor have a discussion about.
2. "a bitcoin killer" sigh, seriously? again with this. Bitcoin has more "killers" over the years....... yet the only thing that gets killed is the "killer" itself.
3. no.

Anything can happen. It may be in the future.
If not, some coin will still replace bitcoin position.

It may be a BIZcoin (B2X) killer, but not a Bitcoin killer.

Every fucking coin thinks it's the Bitcoin killer. Otherwise, why would anyone clone BTCs code, then reduce blocktime and say "look, faster transactions!"?

Everybody claiming to have the Bitcoin killer misses the point.

Not to mention the fact, that we should keep a diversified cryptocurrency enviroment for as long as possible.

Great point to make. It's literally useless to have x100 faster transactions, or ability to include x100 more transactions in a block if the coin has x1000 times less usage than Bitcoin. The point here is not how quick or cheap it can be, but how it can encourage people to use it by enabling easy access and payments. Bitcoin has its problems but these are good problems. And it is scaling more and more to fit in increased usage and demand. Kill Bitcoin? No way.

I think a good analogy is housing. Living in a city is objetively paradoxical: you have less space, which you pay more for, while you could have a huge house with garden in a rural area.

The question at hand is not why people put up with that, because the answer doesn't solve the problem. The question is, how can you make living in a big city easier and more affordable for those who want to live there?

Bitcoin is a big city and "living space" on the blockchain is limited and expensive. Why do people put up with it? It doesn't matter (My guess is network effect, mostly). What does matter is how to use the space at hand more efficiently.

What "Bitcoin Killers" try to do is build a whole new city and claim it's better, because it has better infrastructure, more space and so on.

History has told us, that often times, planned cities don't work. I claim the same is true for cryptocurrencies. At some point, the group dynamic makes it hard to abandon a city/blockchain and faults/problems are not solved by building a whole new city and moving over, but by finding workarounds.

I also don't believe in a Bitcoin killer. I also have problems understanding "switching blockchains". How would this work in practice? What would be the trigger to switch? How would it effect balances (in tokens and in value). Are the mechanics writtens somewhere?

Well, I must admit that switching between blockchain is not a bad idea. However, "bitcoin killer" is a very dangerous term. Anyone know their official website?

What are your thoughts?  Tezos?
As of the moment there is no coins with potential to be bitcoin killer. I also dont think that tezos and other cryptocurrencies to surpass bitcoin ATM. The coin with the greatest potential as of the moment to go on par with bitcoin are those in the top 10 coins. Still, their chance of going on par with it is very low. Bitcoin gold and other forks have no chance in beating the original btc either. Still, the chance of having a bitcoin killer altcoin existing in the future is not that low.

Bitcoin can not kill any coin. The market is dominating 60% of the time.
