Topic: why is bitcoin better than bitcoin cash, bitcoin gold, super bitcoin.... - page 3. (Read 604 times)

Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency and started since 2009, from that year until now it is continuously proving the success that it has since then, and from this good outcome people can easily believe that bitcoin's success from the past and this present will go in the long run. So many will put their trust on it. And that I think is the reasonable thing that makes bitcoin differ than the others you mention on your question.

I also don't know for sure but when viewed from the specifications of each coin, bitcoin is the coin that has the lowest specification and still lost with bitcoingold. maybe the difference is in terms of market demand for bitcoin is increasing every year even every hour.

Basically people who are new to crypto currencies just hear the name bitcoin and don't understand other coins so just buy bitcoins.

People who are experienced are often blindly loyal to bitcoin.

As a result bitcoin always has and for a long time anyway will maintain a higher volume and demand, pushing the price up.

Forks are bad.  They are foolhardy attempts to attack Bitcoin.  But Bitcoin is stronger than all attackers, thus leading to an observed rule in practice:

You fork, you die.

Genuine Bitcoin has crushed numerous forks and attempted forks:  “Bitcoin XT”, “Bitcoin Unlimited”, “Bitcoin Classic”, and the “New York Agreement”, to name but a few.  These no longer exist.  For the current outbreak of forks, if you wish to claim some fork coins, then dump them in exchange for real Bitcoin, and enjoy your free bitcoins.  Otherwise, simply ignore.  Anything from “Bitcoin Cash” to “Bitcoin Super Diamond Plus Plutonium With Ponies” is only a scam; and these scams will die sooner or later, just as did their antecedents.


Listing on Coinmarketcap.com means nothing in this context.  As of this writing, they list 1360 different “coins”.  Total market cap: $580,115,213,787.  Bitcoin market cap: $329,169,132,530.  Otherwise stated, Bitcoin holds a greater market capitalization than all other so-called “cryptocurrencies” combined (56.7% of the total market).  Hundreds of the listed “currencies” have no current market cap at all; they are worthless, zeroes.

The least-valuable “active” currency is currently Applecoin (APW), ranked #805, with a market cap of $17.  Not a price of $17:  Each 1.0 APW is worth $0.000195, less than 2% of 1¢.  Adding up all those near-centipennies, it has a total market cap of $17.  Does APW seem to be a viable, or even credible “currency” to you?  That should tell you all you need to know about what it means that the Bitcoin forks got listed on Coinmarketcap.com.  It’s simply an objective information resource listing a bunch of numbers, not a guide for endorsing investment recommendations.

There are many altcoins; some of them are honest alts, which at least have the decency to make their own names.  There are also many pretenders to the Bitcoin title.  However, all in all:

There is only one Bitcoin.

Because bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency, so bitcoin is king of crypto currency and also mother of cryptocurrency. No one of cryptocurrency can beat bitcoin, so bitcoin is the most popular crypto among other cryptocurrency. Bitcoin core is original bitcoin with high value and price and the other created from bitcoin core of fork and split.

I think it is because people believe on reality and reality is that bitcoin the real coin and that is being used by them for their needs and the remaining coins which are received to us by the forks are just the craps and do not have much potential like the bitcoin and they believe that these coins may not remain for longer like bitcoin.

Bitcoin is the king of all the cryptocurrency. Therefore it has the highest value among all the digital coins. Generally, many traders and investors are choosing bitcoin than gold, bitcoin cash,  etc.

None of the so called forks are really there to solve any real issues bitccoin have. developers just want to make more money on the bitcoin brand name, with the hope that people will be gullible enough to buy their shitcoins.

Let me see a fork of bitcoin that actually address the following:

• Faster payment in less than 5 seconds
  Transaction value anonymity
  Truly Decentralized with mining power not in the hands of a few
  Micro-payment possibility due to very low transaction fee.

Those are just a few. Yea some will tell me there are alternative coins for that. thats not the point.

yes, until today still the best among other altcoin. and it makes bitcoin a king, I think bitcoin shards like BCH, BTG, SBTC, have prices far below bitcoin.

It already established a large community compared to those cryptos. Community is what generates a demand for Bitcoin making its market value high. Bitcoin is better than those cryptos because it has a more stable market value and it has a much larger market price which gives its users huge profit. The increase on its market value is also higher than mosg of the cryptos making it a special currency.

Because these are bitcoin copys, like clon coins.
Similar way but the mother of them is btc.

that's easy, we know that all of that is the influence of hard fork, which can create new altcoins, like BCH, BTG and others. and it also happens to other altcoins, such as ETH, which produce new altcoin into ETH Classic.
and why bitcoin is better than the bitcoin fraction, it's because today no bitcoin shards have good prospects in the future. I see only slightly developed BCH.

Bitcoin is the code that all these other coins are basing it on. If those coins used 100% new codes then it would be a different story.

All bitcoin forks have proven to be really shoddy, usually haphazardly organized with results that dissapoint almost every respectful bitcoin investor. Bitcoin is pretty much the king of cryptocurrencies and it will remain that way unless something big happens, those have really no chances of competing with it. Not to mention sketchiness that applies to some of the forks, they may as well be considered scams. Bitcoin Cash is a fifty fifty, it can be useful for some purposes but they are very specific and it wouldn't hurt anybody in the long run that chose to ignore it.

Bitcoin is one and the only true, original cryptocurrency. All other here mentioned are just altcoins and compared to them Bitcoin is way superior with value, acceptance and implementation in real life. All this other altcoins that use Bitcoin in their name are just pale copies and they could never achieve what Bitcoin did.

Bitcoin is indeed better because it is the premier crypto currency and boast of a lot of innovative features which have been forked and copied by these altcoins called gold  and cash and so ui donm't think the servanty can be better than its master that's why bitcoin will always be better than them.

The reason these bitcoin forks are so high in coinmarketcap is due the fact that they basically copy-paste the entire holdings of bitcoin users and put them on another blockchain, so they make a ton of people participant of that economy out of nowhere, this tends to create some fake numbers when it comes to marketcap. All of these forks have no reputable people working on them, they range are from experiments to scams. Nobody with a clue would hold long term any of them. Most people simply dump them on sight for free BTC.

Bitcoin is the reason of existence of these alternate coins in the name of BCH, BTG, and SBTC. Their blueprint were actually coming from bitcoin's. So as long as bitcoin exists, these brothers of BTC can never have the chance to just match bitcoin's volatility and dominance in the cryptoworld.

The reason for those other coins that originate from the forks is that the more people are going into BTC the less BTC there is for everyone, BTC has a limited amount. So the more it grows the more coins related to it will be needed so everyone can have something. Imagine it this way, if everyone would start to dump their alt coins into btc, the market would get stuck since there isn't enough btc to buy all altcoins.

Bitcoin is better than the others because it is the first of it's kind.Bitcoin is popularly known as "The Father of Cryptocurrencies" this alternate name of bitcoin defines it all.Bitcoin has been in the crypto world since the start and has gained much popularity.It's value has been constantly rising nowadays,today the bitcoin's value touched the sky ($18k) .
