We can't see any altcoin that will match with Bitcoin because of many different things that make it great. Haven been the mainstream manifestation of the Blockchain, make it totally different from all other altcoins. Most altcoins if not all are cat copy of Bitcoin technology. Many will appreciate the power of Bitcoin in the nearest future when the time come and altcoins will be abandon.

I also think that it makes no sense to use the replication of Bitcoin if there is Bitcoin. Altcoins are not worth attention for many reasons, besides of Ethereum, but this is a completely different thing.

I don't think that Bitcoin can be replaced with any altcoin because it's really the first and the strongest crypto currency so far. I don't see any potential in any other coin to replace Bitcoin in the next few years at least. Some people were saying before that ethereum can replace Bitcoin in some point in the future but I don't think that's gonna happen.

At the moment, none of the existing altcoins can replace Bitcoin. This can happen if something happens to the Bitcoin ecosystem, but so far everything is working well.

Bitcoin was the beginning of the whole cryptocurrency world, this is why it's hard to compare any of altcoins to this one. Bitcoin is the most powerful cryptocurrency and I think that it won't change. BUT, it doesn't mean that buying altcoins isn't promising and couldn't be profitable. Many of them are pretty promising, for example IOTA. I've been thinking about buying it because it should be available soon on CoinDeal. What do you think about IOTA? Any advices?

I think bitcoin has been one of the biggest innovations of the human in the past years. Many altcoins have been created after bitcoin. But none of  them have been successful as bitcoin is. Why is that?
Why no altcoin can replace bticoin?
Every new thing and every technology is usually replaced by a newer one as the world is always developing.

The first television built was mechanical, then electronic television were invented, then colour televisions, digital, 3D, ....
The first automobiles invented were steam-powered wheeled vehicles, then electric automobiles appeared. Now we have autonomous cars. Now we have Tesla model S. Now we have Lamborghini.
All of us know about the developments made in mobile phones.

Every thing is being developed. Every device is finally replaced by a newer one. Why no altcoin has replaced bitcoin till now? Do you think it will happen in future?
I personally think people will trust what Satoshi has created more than altcoins till many years later.
Altcoins are created to make the developers rich. But bitcoin is different. Bitcoin was created in favor of us. So, no altcoin can be trusted as bitcoin.

What do you think?
I am also curious about it, I am wondering also why most of the big investors are favoring bitcoin over other coins even if the other coins/tokens were keep on innovating just to provide the best service to the customers or clients in order to give us the satisfaction.

Yeah, I also see that advantages. No one has the control over bitcoin compare to the other currencies that only the team behind the project will become successful once they will come on top.

Another reason might be because bitcoin is the main pair of all coins in every exchange, although there are already many altcoins that can be converted directly with fiat, but bitcoin is the most popular and the main one and maybe that's why bitcoin continues to be the strongest because of its popularity and its reputation. We do not know something like what will happen in the future because change will definitely happen there.

Well, IMO it will be really hard for any altcoin to replace bitcoin in terms of quality and market cap. The reason is Bitcoin has big exposure and many big firms and big boys are backing it so it is getting everything that needs to make it bigger in the future. On the other hand altcoin don't have this kind of awareness and exposure there are few good projects which really could be strong competitor to Bitcoin in term of quality but I think it is still impossible to beat Bitcoin in term of market cap and volume.

Bitcoin is widely used and the most popular crypto currency right now that's why many people still invest in it. One of the reasons why bitcoin is still number one despite the number of competition out there. Probably because of the trust and reputation of bitcoin that despite being in a countless bubbles, it still manage to survive maybe that's why.

I don't know what will happen later on crypto. Specifically what will happen to bitcoin and how bitcoin can be replaced on by other cryptos. Maybe someday there will be other technologies that are more sophisticated and can shift the position of bitcoin as the current crypto king. We never know what will happen in the future.

The square measure network impact and evidenced security of bitcoin which is about 88% insurmountable and this makes bitcoin unique over other altcoins.
It’s instructive that almost all coins try and carve out some differentiation supported a lot of smaller use cases, like prediction markets, shopping for things utterly anonymously or adding a suburbanised name server.
Bitcoin encompasses a giant lead as a store of import over each altcoin in having existed eight years while no failure at all. the protection of Bitcoin has been evidenced much more than a lot of younger crypto currencies. And because of this bitcoin will ever be the king of coins for still many years to come.

To be honest, there are a lot of better altcoin than bitcoin right now.

I think the first reason is that Bitcoin is the first so it really had a headstart. Another thing is that there are a lot of supporters of it. When you say cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin will be the first one that will pop to people's mind, altcoin can't compete with that. We're not even talking about its value.

we all know, the existence of bitcoin is able to give birth to other types of coin competitors (altcoin). altcoin will not be able to grow if there is no bitcoin that supports it. therefore, bitcoin cannot be replaced by potential altcoin though, although there will always be intense competition in this industry.

Altcoin supporters need to do a lot more work in making their coins more visible.

I was very impressed with how Ethereum launched itself a few years ago - they even managed to get the New York Times to do an article about them and their coin. That's the kind of marketing you need in order for an alt to even start competing with bitcoin.

Think of things like this: there are many fast food chains, businesses and other corporations that is ahead of others, and most of the time, their edge is the capabilities, features, services and overall product quality that they could provide to the people. In addition, one key factor that contributes to their growth is the name or band that they have. Others are often franchise and the reason is to have the same business with the same name. In bitcoin, I do really see that the main thing bitcoin make it standout to altcoin is not just because of the services and characteristics it has but for me, it has the ultimate and the most suitable name for a digital currency which is called 'Bitcoin".

I guess this is happen because Bitcoin is more popular to the public because for me this is old and have more security than the others Altcoins. Bitcoins also is trustworthy because of it's number of users so I cannot blame Btc to have this impact in the public

Altcoin could not replace bitcoin because it was just an alternative token, also bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency in the market or a digital cash.
They cannot replace something like bitcoin with just creating something like it, they just created another like it.

No altcoin will ever replace Bitcoin because it is a scarce asset that has global trust running for years. Most alts gain their value from the implication that they can gain more BTC from their alts.
and knowing that they only rely in BITCOIN PRICE?how come they will overpower a currency that is almost fix in rank number 1.
bitcoin will remain in this position for another 10 years again or more maybe .altcoin on the other hand?will struggle more and more but wont get any chance for hanging in the top.

I watched a good Andreas Antonopolos clip on how Bitcoin is more akin to an open source opperating  system like Linux. Which has evolved over time to be the underlayer opperating system virtually everywhere.
There will likely be a point when the Bitcoin network will the happily chugging along and no one will realize it is there.

This alternative tokens are just alternative and cannot replace bitcoin, bitcoin technology is unique and it is decentralized in the market we cannot replace something easily with just creating another like it it is already famous and popular in the community. It is where its all started in bitcoin a digital cash a lot of people don't know about cryptocurrency or altcoins but only know altcoins in the market.
