Topic: What coin will surpass bitcoin? - page 2. (Read 2541 times)
Marketcap can be irrelevant and useless for many coins. Someone could create a coin with 200 billion coins, premine it 100%, sell 1 for 0.1 btc and claim a marketcap of 20 billion us$

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FOR NOTHING? Then you've come to the right place. http://www.dobbscoin.info ... As someone said, bitcoin doesn't have to be perfect, all it needs is to be 'good enough'. This is very true; however if Bitcoin does not address the 1MB blocksize limit via a hard fork, it will not be "good enough" once we reach this limit likely within 12 months. I think bitcoin will stay relevant for many years to come, However I also think that we will see a new crypto coin surpass bitcoins market cap within 3 years. Im am unsure of the coin, but it is obvious we live in a world that sees many fads, fade in and out. Not to mention bitcoin is far from perfect, with other coins proving to provide a better system. What do you think? What kind of "marketing" campaign is it going to take to surpass bitcoin? Surpass in market cap? That's possible, in fact it already happened (well, sort of) I remember DOGE in its early days being 1st on coinmarketcap for a few hours or so, simply because someone bought small amounts at ridiculous price. Market cap is important indicator but can be very deceptive short-terms. Ironically it's not really in any altcoin's or investor best interest to surpass bitcoin. Let's say that everybody jumps from bitcoin to other, better altcoin, and then jumps from that coin to yet another one that is even better, and so on... The crypto currencies market as a whole would lose any stability. No one would invest significant amount of $ in any coin knowing that it can become worthless overnight if a new 'currently best' coin is released. That's why bitcoin is still number one, despite all the faster, more secure, better features alts. As someone said, bitcoin doesn't have to be perfect, all it needs is to be 'good enough'.
I very much doubt marketing will do the trick, but fundamentals can. I doubt a POS coin will do this but another POW coin that improves on XBT can.
It makes sense that someday another "better" coin could come. Speaking for myself, I would not even consider using another system unless it.... 1. Is open source. 2. Is a distributed, decentralized network. 3. Has no pre-mine option. 4. Has an unchangeable and limited supply. 5. Is accepted more widely than bitcoin. 6. Is based on stronger encryption than bitcoin. XMR (Monero) meets all of these requirements except for 5. If XBT hits the 1 MB blocklimit wall before something is done then 5 can also fall. Add to this built in privacy, fast 1 min blocks, etc., and we have a potential winner here.

A crypto your average person in the street could understand. and the gold medal goes too. theats the real dumbass about all of the "innovation" i've seen todate, all adds complication, ONLY a simplification of crypto will work for mass adoption but thats lost on most programming types in crypto. There's nothing wrong with having complex features under the hood, but that's where they belong. Under the hood. I downloaded the Bytecoin wallet recently. What average person in the street is going to have any clue how to use a command-line interface? The only way cryptos will gain any kind of public following is if they simplify the wallet even more, but still allow advanced users to use the full interface. Stick the current wallet under an "advanced" setting, and focus on simplifying the wallet so much my gran could understand it It makes sense that someday another "better" coin could come. Speaking for myself, I would not even consider using another system unless it.... 1. Is open source. 2. Is a distributed, decentralized network. 3. Has no pre-mine option. 4. Has an unchangeable and limited supply. 5. Is accepted more widely than bitcoin. 6. Is based on stronger encryption than bitcoin. its most certainly already built (and was built from ideas floating around this forum and privately) its blocks and pieces are floating around. not a clone for sure, or semi-clone, adding just one new feature don't make a new coin not a clone disagree I think a clone or near clone is the most likely to succeed, look even supposed ground up written newer cryptos use btc to attract people, and little outside of btc code is trusted....and for damn good reason. bitcoin actually got alot right.
not going to happen

Is based on stronger encryption than bitcoin. Than maybe Monero ? None coin is accepted more widely then btc. Few coins have all the rest and some also things that btc cant copy. Right now there are many currencies on world. So no worry for coins that will work well and be of some use.

none.

bitcoin is not standing still it's being further developed upon wow, that's something new
none, in this shitcoin scheme
Bitcoin is leader for years to come. No other coin will get the same amount of adoption. Besides bitcoin is not standing still it's being further developed upon so it won't get oldfashioned very soon.

Surpass BTC... in what terms?
Market cap? I don't think so. What BTC is: a replacement for long-distance, at-least-2-zeros transactions, also compatible with a lot of internet services... but too slow for brick-n-mortar. In terms of adoption it will be surpassed in the near future. The extra privacy of cryptonote coins could be their driving force... or their biggest problem. For more traditional solutions, I see multi-pow as a step forward in building something meant to last.
I do not think it is going to happen. Unless the coin crosses the usability barrier for common consumers and is adopted early by major retailers.
Essentially, bitcoin already has the latter. I think one of the major problems with wide acceptance is the difficulty buying bitcoin. We need relaxed FenCen requirements and/or a major credit card company to stop chargebacks for crypto purchases that can be verified via blockchain easing on the anti-fraud requirements (<- this is probably never going to happen) Jump to:
