Alright
"Bitcoin is king" "Bitcoin will keep growing" "Bitcoin is the leader" "Bitcoin will never be replaced" -newbie.
Why are people still so convinced about this?
Bitcoin is great, we learned a lot of it. Without Bitcoin we wouldn't have those other cryptocurrencies.
But just because Bitcoin is the pioneer doesn't mean it can't be replaced.
Bitcoin Cash is just a clone with bigger blocks, this will only solve the problem temporarely. So forget about it.
It's clear that Bitcoin isn't the best coin anymore. Problem is because of all this hype there is a lot of new dumb money that only see Bitcoin's insane price growth. That kind of people that leave their money on Coinbase is what I'm talking about (for long term).
If people would look at things more objectlively things wouldn't have gone this way.
I'm not naming other coins because I don't wanna make this a pump post.
Too much dumb investors these days.. Bitcoin is no longer useable in a normal way but noobs will never realize because they never make a transaction to their own wallets because they don't even know it's decentralized and stuff...
I hope Bitcoin will fail soon. It has had enough time to be adapted to its use of today. Why can't Bitcoin be as good as other and better crypto's? I have no idea. But in my eyes it's already game over for Bitcoin.
I know theres gonna be a lot of fanboy hate coming to this post. Don't make them ruin this topic please.
Thanks to those who made Bitcoin possible, we will never forget you. But now it's time to move on.
DEAL WITH IT!!
Bitcoin is king because it showed us what is possible and paved the way for a lot of great altcoin projects that wouldn't have seen the light of day had it not been for Bitcoin. But you're right in that its not the best coin/currency, and yes - one day it will be replaced.
You can never avoid 'dumb money' though. Its always going to be there.
Like it or not, when most people hear cryptocurrency, they automatically think Bitcoin..
Don't forget, that in most cases Bitcoin is years ahead in PR and publicity (ie 'spreading the word') than most of the alternatives.
The market sees this as a 'tried and tested' crypto, as opposed to some of the newer (and yes, better) ones with no history.
I'm a bitcoin and altcoin holder so I'm happy either way
