Topic: Which Altcoin Will Be Nr.2 and Nr. 3 After Bitcoin ? (Read 236 times)
Don't think any will replace bitcoin, but of course positions 2 and 3 will be forever changing. Candidates I believe have the potential are Ethereum, Lumens, NEO, Bitcoin Cash, NEM and a few others.
Of course, bitcoin technology with its slow and expensive transactions is terrible. But the progenitor of the cryptocurrency can not replace anything. It's like gold-it's heavy and not comfortable, but it's valuable and it's also used to keeping money in it.
Although, I use ripple for transactions. Convenient and fast.

I believe in technology of NEM. ETH is a very common tool for scamming and hacking, and XRP is the kraken unleashed by the Banks.
I think 2018 will be the year of Ethereum and Ripple. I do believe as other users have already addressed that lower transaction fees will significantly reduce people using BTC for monetary transfers. BTC will become like gold and nobody will want to touch it until they need their mortgage paying off or debts paid. Remember everyone to hold crypto!!
I think the most promising is the ethereum,if it continues to develop competently, it will be one of the market leaders
Due to BTC high price, we can see some altcoins can replace Bitcoin due to fast transactions. Which altcoin will replace Bitcoin ? ETH or Ripple or another ?
I think ETH will always be the second, because it's very difficult to have tokens beyond ETH right now. But that's just my opinion. 
The obvious choices are ETH and DASH here, but I think there are other good choices in long term, like waves and stratis. These are good platforms, they do many things, and they have good technology. 
Second one is absolutely Ethereum. Second one is ETH if First one is BTC. They are like King and Queen. It cant be change. But third one changes and i guess its for ripple now. But for a while. i pretty sure that.

Even doge could be used for fast and low fee transactions.
I dont like ETH replacing BTC neither the centralized coin XRP,they are both worst coins that can replace btc.
BTC and Eth will take places 1 and 2 thats for sure.
3 depends on if more banking institutions adopt ripples network.

Etherium may replace BTC if its scalability reaches thousands of transactions per second.
Today Etherium is everywhere. We live in Etherium.

In nearest future Ripple and Ethereum will compete for a 2nd place , but in long term I think they will compete with technologically more advanced projects
I guess Ripple has all the chances to surpass BTC capitalization and become the top-1 crypto in just a few months. So BTC can become the second place and ETH - the third.
That's what we thought about Ethereum as well
. I think that by reaching number two Ripple has ended it's rapid rise for the time being. But even without being so I don't believe it has a real chance of surpassing Bitcoin in the near future, especially since many new investors will be joining the cryptocurrency world in 2018. and they will mainly go for Bitcoin, as usual. When I talk to people "on the streets" and ask them what do they think about the cryptocurrencies, they usually say: "oh, you mean Bitcoin...".
I think that only when some other coin shows a rapid progress (and by that I mean showing some real value - like massive adoption), or only when the market will enter a more mature stage, with more or less majority of potential investors already in, Bitcoin will be surpassed.

I don't think bitcoin would be replaced, even though the transactions are really slow and rather expensive. People stuck to it and now they are not willing to let go. They don't want to explore other coins and choose a normal one. That's the way it works. I believe bitcoin will forever be #1 and it's fair in a way, since it was the first one and thus the most innovative one a long time ago.As for #2 and #3 coins, I think ripple can be among them, but eth will eventually go down a bit, since it is still a problematic coin. I would suggest iota being #3 or #2 instead.
Ethereum is number two coin of this crypto market and number one altcoin after bitcoin. Ethereum has power to challenge bitcoin in future but not now.
There is a wide and old speculation that Ethereum will surpass Bitcoin and that that would happen by the end of 2017. But however, since that speculation started, somewhere during last summer, Bitcoin has gone far away from Ethereum. Now Ripple has surpassed Ethereum in market capitalisation.
I personally think that Bitcoin will remain number one during 2018. Why? Because first of all I believe it will stay in front of Ethereum because it will enable smart contracts hence adopting one of the main Ethereum advantages. I also believe that the scalability problem of Bitcoin network could be solved during 2018. Finally, during 2018. many new users will enter the cryptocurrency (misnomer market and as always - they will mainly enter Bitcoin as they see it as a synonim for the whole market/industry.
However, I also do believe that some of the altcoins will become very strong and thus Bitcoin's percentage of market share will slowly, but surely, drop. At the end of 2018. we can recap and speculate about 2019., right now it is too early.

People keep saying that bitcoin will die or be replsce by another but the truth and fact of it all is nothing will ever replace bitcoin. There can only be the 2nd, 3rd, and so on that every other cryptocurrency can be but not the number 1 spot.
First of all, I am not sure whether Bitcoin will maintain the no.1 position or not. In the long-term, there is a chance that some of the altcoins (or even forked coins such as Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Diamond) displacing Bitcoin from the no.1 position. That said, the most promising altcoins to me are: BCH, Monero, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Gold.
