Besides being the first cryptocurrency and being the father of it all,
Bitcoin’s ongoing success and market price dominance is cleary
an undisputed indication of it’s prominence and success. It may
also be volatile but it’s foregoing ability and unpredictable capacity
in price hikes and dips makes it even more alluring. It’s the only
currency out there that can and reach higher prices in no time.
It’s influence and impact on other altcoins and the market itself
is paramount, making Bitcoins worthy of praise and distinction
as the king.

It was the first in the landscape, it's become representative of the entire crypto world (i.e. bitcoin = all of cryptocurrency in some people's minds), and people know its name.
Yeah, you are right. Bitcoin is the most pupular cryptos of all. As of now, it is the most expensive and still the oldest crypto. Bitcoin is the King of Cryptocurrency because it has a power to change our world because of its popularity.

Bitcoin is the king of all other cryptocurrency . bitcoin dominate the all other crypto currency . bitcoin is the mass adopted currency and highest market cap thats why its the king .
Sometimes I think that Bitcoin is the most prominent crypto currency just because it’s the first one ever to be made and because of that it’s going to dominate for a very long time.

One of the major reasons why Bitcoin can easily be described as King is the fact that it was the first cryptocurrency to come into existence. Also it is now more accepted and more recognized by more countries in the world than altcoins will be. The demand for bitcoin is also currently highest based on its acceptance worldwide

We can say that Bitcoin is the king of all coins because it is the most popular coin in crypto and it has the highest value coins once we think cryptocurrency the first sought coins is Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is the king because it is the strongest and the best cryptocurrency among the rest and we all know that bitcoin is running in this world for long time, a lot of people now is putting there money with bitcoin because they also know that the future of bitcoin is bright.

Bitcoin is king base on it movement and behaviour whith effect other 80% of alt-coin, either the market is raising or dropping, many other follows the steps. therefore Bitcoin carries other alt-coin along as the father, which we seen it as the king of all coin.

Toward the turn of 2017 at that time, Bitcoin's price seems to try to touch $ 20.000/BTC strongly. That achievement, far beyond what many had predicted in the previous year. Local and international media were amazed to see the world stage crypto at that time.
Seeing so rapidly the movement of Bitcoin prices in 2017, then along with it policy-makers in various countries also seemed to start itching and restless with the real conditions that exist.
In addition, there are many (many) people who predict the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise in this year but some are predicting that Bitcoin will go down.

IMO, Bitcoin's name will still be king. In 2018 the name Bitcoin will soar.
According to analysts' predictions that the soaring name does not coincide with the price per coin that continues to decline. Moreover, there is a hard fork issue is sharper.
We can say that the king is bitcoin, because. Remember when bcn was forked from monero , the price of monero has go to the moon , so i think if there is a hard fork of btc , also btc will go to the moon also the same thing has happen to eth when etc was forked from eth , we have see an increase in the price of the ethereum , so the hardfork and segwit are positive things for the future of bitcoin!

I agree with you.
SegWit's, these are pieces of code that are injected into the bitcoin program the results of this upgrade will help more efficiently in verifying every request both time and fee.

I understand for the past years, Bitcoin has been the king of cryptos, but why is that so? I have been for several months now reading a lot about the whole crypto ecosystem, i even bought several bitcoins back in August (sold them all today, for 4x returns and am keeping all the money in the broker account, and maybe i'll buy BTC again just as soon as i manage to retrieve my belief in BTCs future viability -i am trying really hard).

Enough background, now on to the topic at hand. I am now all too familiar with the challenges BTC has in front of it, and i sincerely can't see a solution.

1. Slow transactions - If you pay a high enough fee (at the moment over $15), you'll get a 10 minutes confirmation for your transaction. So at the very least it takes 10 minutes for a transaction to pass through, which really isn't so much assuming one is willing to pay the high fee. If one doesn't want to pay over $1 (i mean why should we, since the original idea of cryptos was that they should be cheap, fast and anonymous!), then one will wait indefinitely, probably for days or even damn weeks!!!

2. High fees - Now over $15 for high priority on the blockchain. Imagine if the price were to multiply by 5x. The fees!! $100+ per transaction maybe? This is insane. Satoshi Nakamoto has/have probably unfortunately died (i mean he/they WOULD by now have come forward and said enough is enough, miner cartels are ruining the BTC system and these high fees are outrageous insanity) turning in his grave with the hell that is happening to the BTC's ecosystem.

3. Lack of solutions - The major solution everyone is currently clinging to is the Lightning Network. Really?? It is still theoretical. Will it ever be effectively implemented and integrated into BTC and its blockchain? We don't know. Will it be practical, and effectively reduce costs substantially? We don't know! When will it be ready? Sometime in 2018? With a measly small team of developers? 2018 maybe! If it ever becomes pratical. Right now it seems the WHOLE BTC ecosystem hopes that the LN will work and solve ALL of BTCs complex problems. This is a very big and risky assumption. If it doesn't, i sincerely don't see how the BTC is going to navigate ever higher demand and users. It will bottleneck even more and the result will not be pretty. Besides, the whole concept of creating off-chain direct channels between users doesn't seem very practical to me, but perhaps i am wrong.

4. Miner cartels? Have major miner groups taken over the BTC? I haven't studied it deeply enough to make this conclusion, but this is the feeling i am fetting, maybe i am very wrong. Why isn't a solution to this DAMN OBVIOUS BOTTLENECK PROBLEM being chased with the urgency that i think the BTC community should have? Maybe i am missing something, or many things, i am by no means an advanced and very knowledgeable member of the community. But is the theory that major miner groups hijacking the BTC ecosystem in order to keep their high fees absurd? Maybe it is, but at my current understanding it seems like a possibility.

5. Bitcoin considered solely as a store of value. Right now, the only use of BTC is functioning as a store of value. Let other cryptos serve the more mundane task of serving as cash! BTC is digital GOLD! So the argument goes. Is this enough for the BTC? This isn't what i thought BTC was supposed to be. It SHOULD serve as a srote of value as well as a means for making fast and costless daily transactions. You see i am not against a system that serves solely as a store of value but i WONDER if it will be enough, will BTC present enough utility for people once they realize they can't use it for small transactions, but instead they should see BTC solely as something akin to a long term investment, that isn't useful for small transactions? The way i see it the more utility a crypto currency presents to its users, the ore value it will have, and right now there are a dozen CRYPTOS will a lot more utility than the Bitcoin.

So i ask again what makes Bitcoin the King? Network effect? The fact that it has been time-tested longer than any other crypto? A supposed community that supports it (what support they give eludes me too, i don't see much support actually)? Right now i see the BTC as a bloated, outdated and overvalued ecosystem that may survive and continue to thrive just because it has the first mover advantage and biggest network, but i am not sure of it and would really appreciate if it actually kept the edge in it's design and technology too over other cryptos. Right now i don't see it at all.

Because bitcoin values are the highest and many believe in bitcoin so bitcoin is considered a coin king. Bitcoin is the strongest and more enduring for a very long time.
Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency based on the concept of blockchain technology.It is the father of all cryptocurrencies and all the other altcoins are regulated with respect to bitcoin only.Bitcoin is very expensive and the most valuable cryptocurrency in the market.It has gained a lot of users since last nine years and is still going on.There are also a large number of investors of bitcoin in the market.The demand of bitcoin is very high and is very popular.

Yes. I do believe that bitcoin is the king among all the cryptocurrencies which exist throughout the world. There are many other cryptocurrencies like etherium, monero. But none of them is like bitcoin this is because firstly, bitcoin has the highest amount of popularity among the people throughout the world. Then it also has the highest amount of users all over the world. Because of which its demand is more than any other cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin is a platform where we can work and earn money. And whatever we earn, we get it as a crypto currency. And crypto is the currency of the future. All countries are dependent on the digital currency for the future and crypto is a good alternative to the digital currency. I think Bitcoin is the king of the crypto market.

Bitcoin is king around here in the cryptocurrency because it has the highest value in terms of pricing among the other alternative coins, I think Altcoins are made not to surpass or eliminate bitcoin in the crypto world it is currently produced to support bitcoin in its quest of currency dominance. High transaction fee you say? well, I say at least it does not have any value added tax, or add hidden charges, it turns out financial freedom are made free I say. All I can say man try and relax try worrying about your investments and not at the things in which you could not control and just start believing and having faith on bitcoin.

I believe bitcoin is consider as king of crypto because of its popularity world wide and as the leading crypto with the highest number of investors.
