I do not think BTC will die; its just that its limitations due to its older age are starting to show, and are starting to be a problem (like 10-20 minute confirmations).
BTC can coexist with the most practical alt cryptocurrency; BTC can be the base, the store of value while the modern alt cryptocurrency can run as the transactional unit to make payments.

Bitcoin is the cat with 999 lives. 
... It dies on shill blogs and news websites every day. I would not waste my time on worrying too much about it's replacement for now.
The next kid on the block, will most probably be some coin under 100% control of corporate giants and fully regulated by the governments. The open question would be, how
many people would be supporting this type of coin. Bitcoin would still be there for the other people who do not support a surveillance state.

Nonsense. I certainly seems bitcoin is the hegemon of cryptocurrencies right now, but in reality I think that state won't last too long.
Don't agree. I think that it will be never no cryptocurrency which will replace bitcoin. It is the first, it is the original and it is the most known and used in the world. The the overwhelming most other cryptos don't have place when to be used except the exchanges when probably are there because of their developers who want to earn money from those.
Many are forseeing the death of bitcoin.
who are these many that forseeing this? people who are spreading FUDs? what are their reasons for predicting this?

According to Satos... errr Nick Szabo it just might be ethereum:
It is true that Bitcoin can die, even having now the popularity. Look at internet explorer or msn messenger ...
But I do not think so. It will renew if more features are needed, is not a static thing. For other altcoin to take over it, it should first be really really innovative. I know there is Ethereum and others, but still it is pretty much the same concept: a chain of bits that goes from a user to another.

btc is and forever will be the best cryptocurrency on the internet.
Nonsense. I certainly seems bitcoin is the hegemon of cryptocurrencies right now, but in reality I think that state won't last too long.People in the past were telling us that we won't ever need more than 1MB of storage, and now 1TB is not enough for big files.
Even if it's not Bitcoin, hopefully other people continue to build on the same P2P technology.

Probably a new biggest cryptocurrency is coming, Which the usd equivalent is very low. I never put on my mind that BTC will get die / loose for whatever reason. I never believe its going to die as 98% people in world uses Bitcoin. However i'am hoping btc value will get low soon.
The next big thing after Bitcoin is Bitcoin.Simple ist that. If a fork happens or not, whatever BIP will be used, Bitcoin will survive.These stupid threads have been created a 100 times and I think we all are getting sick of it.

I always believe bitcoin is going to die when its price goes down, and change my mind in the next day when its price goes up again What are the possible substitutes for BTC? State your mind!
About the substitutes for bitcoin, I think there is no chance for that now, even 10 years later. Bitcoin itself still need to be developed imo.Ok, so that means that bitcoin is a living dead cryptocurrency, and even though it is underdeveloped people still believe there is a cure

I dont know why you interpreted it as a living dead thing, I just said bitcoin is going to die, not already died I see that most of the people who replied to the thread still believes in Bitcoin. Now, it leaves us to know what's your position regarding Bitcoin XT
Would you support it? And if not why?
Actually your question and the answers has been answered in other thread Would you support it? And if not why?
For me, I will support anything that could make bitcoin be better.

Can you set this up as a poll? How are we to know how people are responding?
Bitcoin and its future can be discussed on many levels.
Yeah you're right. The first question the OP asks is "do you believe bitcoin is going to die?" So I think that's what was anchored in my brain when I made that comment. You're right he/she is asking for much more than that.
Let's all create threads with the same useless questions over and over again

That's a fair comment and a certain annoyance. I've been here a while and also get annoyed when I see a thread for a common question pop up. I do two things when this happens, 1) I mention to the OP that there are threads about the topic and maybe even direct them to one, and 2) I remind myself that there are a lot of new people here and new people tend to ask the same questions as they go through the learning process.

Btw, who are "the many" predicting Bitcoin's death?Still waiting on the answer to this question (it's most certainly not a repeat) - anyone have an answer?

next big thing is still bitcoin, is no where near its death at all, bitcoin never grew to its full potential, if it grows so big and then it falls big for whatever reason, then you can call it dead, until then it's better to focus our attention on this awesome technology
and besides this i can't see any new revolutionary technology coming
and besides this i can't see any new revolutionary technology coming
Well, Besides BTC limitations, the recent stress with the fork issues shows how vulnerable Bitcoin is.
Other coins, don't have the same issues and present other features as well.
What's your take on Ethereum?
i prefer midsafe to be honest, it appear to be a more legit project, but anyway i want that those project are based on bitcoin, in the sense that i want to use bitcoin as a currency, they should help bitcoin instead of proposing a clone of it, i'm talking about their internal currency

I think you missed out on the initial bitcoin run and now are now trying to identify the next trend to hope onto to make a quick fortune.
You should post this over in Economics, you'll get a better and more educated (to economy and business) response.
I think you blockchain technology will be one of the next big business movements. Others that exist are the internet of things and cyber security.
Btw, who are "the many" predicting Bitcoin's death?
Bitcoin and its future can be discussed on many levels.
And yes, you are right everything indicates that blockchain will be the most successful 'part' of bitcoin adapted by major financial institutions.
That does not mean that bitcoin is bad, dead or have no future. In the past I have seen so many critics saying that Bitcoin is dead/dying that I do not pay attention to this FUD now.
