Topic: which altcoin would be bitcoins likely replacement ? (Read 5005 times)
Maybe Decred? It is quite popular recently.
It's Iota
Bitshares, Ethereum, Gridcoin, and maybe one of the private blockchain technologies being developed by R3/IBM.
I don't think any of the altcoin can replace Bitcoins until the last Bitcoin has been mined out 
The mining of the bitcoin has nothing to do if it can be replaced. After the last coin is mined, bitcoin will still exist.

i think none of the current altcoins have the potential to be bitcoin's replacement so far.
although some of them come pretty close, but none of them has what it takes in the long run.

It will not be Stellar. It is centralized. Ripple is more popular than Stellar.
I think Ethereum will be the biggest altcoin.
Ethereum is not an altcoin and neither is ripple. Therefore eth/xrp do not qualify as a bitcoin replacements.
Ethereum is a cryptocurrency.
It's also the cryptocurrency that has the highest chance of being bigger than bitcoin.
The block chain of Ethereum inflate too quickly. It is just 10 months old, but the block chain is already 8 GB.
I would like to see something new!
Not old reviving but new POW coin!
Something different and more usable.

Ethereum has no limit on coin creation. Absolute non starter for me. Won't pay a half cent for that shit.
Then you should check out Decred you might be interested still on its early stage of development.

so i have no litecoin whatsoever, do you guys think i should put £100 into litecoin or into bitcoin? What would yous do in my shoes?
earlier in the year before the litecoin halfing im sure litecoin was pretty dead but then went up in price.

For sure put it in Bitcoin. You're investment will be greatly valorised over the coming years.
Ethereum! End of discussion! Lock the post! No further comments needed!

I'm holding a lot of Ethereum but I don't believe it will likely replace or become bigger than bitcoin period.
I did also hold a few k ETH but they recently got sold. There is no coin out at the moment that is going to become bigger than BTC especially ETH. If you brought when you created this thread OP then you could have had some nice profits but I would not hold thinking it could replace BTC because in my mind it couldn't.
If anything was to happen to BTC i think the coin to take of will unfortunately be DASH but I would prefer it to be XMR.

That's how Iota's Blockchain looks alike. Every new block has 2 references pointing at 2 older blocks somewhere back in time. Except Blocks two, three and four of course since they have only one Block to point at, the Genesis Block. Maybe you could explain the fundamentals for us laymans?
A Tangle is a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG).
That's right there is no blockchain and a tangle brings with it many innovative benefits.

IOTA looks very promising, probably the most innovative digital currency of 2016.

It will either be Ethereum or Stellar.
Those are currently the only coins that can challenge bitcoin.

Many? Mostly these two: New Blocks dont need to wait for timing ... like ten minutes. It can come into existance immediately, there is no block timing. Another advantage is parallelism, in between the same second several Blocks can be created. Blocksize is loosing relevance, this can scale indefinitely.
Disadvantages? Open to discuss, I am still stuck inside their white paper. Tangles seemingly are a way to somewhat secure huge amounts of data from tampering, that does not qualify for storage of value.
Psychology: Imagine your house door locks are opening in between the split parts of a second. Maybe even on proximity of your cellphone or a transponder chip. Would be very convenient ... but ... my firm believe people do not associate "security" with some such fast mechanism. More leaning against locks that do a lot of show time before opening. That's what we mortal humans do associate with security.
The faster a coin is capable to perform a transaction, the less confidence users will wager for its security. This is stupid, I know.
Some Alts changed their blocktimes during their livetime, somehow reflecting the above observation. Feels a tad sad that "stupid psychology" has an impact on these innovative things.
