Bitcoin was first to market. It will take something to go seriously wrong with it for another coin to take number one spot.

I'm not implying something goes wrong with BTC. I'm implying something better than BTC comes along.

Anybody who wants to elaborate on that from a technical point of view?

Facebook, Google and so on are your examples.
It won't get replaced.

P.S. NXT sucks.

You mean like zerocoin? ;-)

However, this isn't a zero sum game. More than one coin can compete.

It's like having more than one currency!

To replace bitcoin it needs alot. But indeed, Zerocoin could get number 2 or 3.

Bitcoin may not be perfect but it's good enough. Something would have to go very wrong for Bitcoin to be anything other than the main player.

I dont know about feature having crucial edge over Bitcoin, definitively nothing used in all altcoins up to now

I'm assuming it doesn't exist yet. However, this developement moves rapidly, so that's why I'm asking.

Rapecoin

What do I have to do to get it - is robbery included?

No only stalking. Mining is stalking.

And the blockchain are the official police reports.

Sounds like a fun coin.

Only as long as the coins bring similiar advantages for the users, like BTC and LTC. No huge differences there, so I can definitely see 2 to say,5 crytos co-exist there.

But imagine something came along that blew BTC out of the water - some coin with all the advantages of BTC, but much more improved than BTC! That would be a completely different ballgame game there.

"Soon" would be in the next 1-3 years or so.

One of the biggest dangers for BTC is something more useful coming along and investors switching - a process which could happen extremely fast, once started.

So to all the tech savy people in here - what advantages could other cryptocurrencies bring that will give them a crucial edge over BTC, and how fast could something like that come along?
