well i dont believe that it will die at all.. it is just natural to a currency to go up and down.
its just up to the user if they have guts to continue using bitcoin.

I think that this is a stupidity. Bitcoin cannot be dead because is born. And the born of such things is a rare event. Bitcoin is not a simple currency but a disruptive technology which will affect to many others in the future. It is one invention like those which born one in a hundred years. So bitcoin is based in a such technology. The strong of bitcoin compare to other currencies will depend but its dead is to be excluded.

What's the next big thing? The spread of bitcoin in all over the world.

I don't think that bitcoin is going to die sooner or later.
So for me there are no other alternatives of bitcoin in crypto world.
No matter what, always original will remain original.

Bitcoin will be around for a while yet! Regardless of the outcome of the (storm in a tea cup) block size change that is required.

It'll be at least 1-2 years before there is anything challenging its #1 spot and it certainly wont be any of the current alts.

Many of those have the same limitation as BTC , or at best marginally improve them. Some of them might find niche markets, Ethereum for example, but most will just fade away while being perpetually replaced by "new" alternatives that offer no significant improvements over what BTC can do.

There are a couple of technologies on the horizon that may pose a threat long term, and plenty of minds (including mine) are working on finding ways to implement real "giant leap" improvements. The problem with research is it's slow work, 2 years and counting for me, more for others, and as far as I know its going to be at least 6 months before any of these exotic technologies are ready to go. Even then there is the task of ramp up and roll out, which is again time consuming and expensive.

But, whatever it is, you'll know it when it finally arrives.

This was the best reply. at least a real honest one! "The problem with research is it's slow work". And I think this is really it. but now with big companies researching these technologies There is only one outcome... we will see a leap on the development of blockchain technologies that will probably turn bitcoin obsolete

I'm not so sure of that either.

I've worked with some very large companies in the past with previous businesses I owned, and gone head to head with corporate competitors. Corporate cogs turn real slow, too much red tape, so even if the development is moving fast, the board will take forever to make a decision.

The "leap" will come from a either an unknown small team that has been cranking away for a few years, or a group that was under-estimated....and it'll come out of nowhere.

Some interesting new developments

I am biggest fan of http://www.yourewardyourlife.com/

New blockchain much,much faster that btc blockchain,could be great http://identabit.com/

IdealReserve,half second transaction,and inflation deflation control algorithm,very interesting,big trouble to list on exchanges.There is good to look on IdealReserve like econmic system not only currency https://www.idealreserve.info/

more about IR you can find at https://voat.co/v/idealreserveotc

There is also very fast blockchain already tested,very,very fast,will be used to move financial assets

Bitcoin's death was predicted 999 times, and still it's alive and well. Don't confuse price with bitcoin itself.
The way i see it is that bitcoin won't be replaced in near future, because even with this dosage of annonymity and low fee's banks and governments are scared,
now just imagine if something scaled that even further ..

Go here http://bitcoinobituaries.com.
So you can see how many times has Bitcoin died so far in its history.

The point that I am trying to make is this, every time the price drops or we have a turmoil in the community or some bad news, Bitcoin dies according to everybody. But oddly, Bitcoin is still alive and well. It just refuses to go!

So to answer your question, don't worry, Bitcoin is going nowhere and it won't die!

Cheers!

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?

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 Roll Eyes

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 Tongue

The only things that are dead, are all this bump and dump-altcoins, that are supposedly better than Bitcoin.
When ever I look here, there are other coins in the Top 10 and 2nd place is far behind Bitcoin.
