Bitcoin is the oldest and most valuable cryptocurrency, but a crop of nimble competitors, including Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash, could lure investors away.
Certainly before another coin will overthrown bitcoin, it will take much time and they are new altcoins with great use case like medichain that can try to overtake bitcoin in future... 
Topic: Will Another Coin Take the Crown? - page 35. (Read 4587 times)
I see a lot of speculations about it. However, imperfect as it is, bitcoin will still hold the crown unless a coin surpasses the popularity of bitcoin. In my country alone, the majority who is aware of Cryptocurrency just knows about bitcoin. They even use the word crypto and bitcoin interchangeably. If you mention about Etherium, which is the second most popular coin in the planet, they know little about it. Others will even assume it's a copycat.
Another thing, Bitcoin has the highest value in the market. Having even 1 bitcoin means you are already doing great.
Third, it's the most attacked coin by the media, thus, gaining a notorious reputation among the majority. Many people doesn't learn about other coins without knowing about bitcoin first.

Well it is possible that another coin would overtake bitcoins but chances of it really happening is very low and the closest is etheruem who has the potential to overtake bitcoins but etheruem is not a coin, it is platform.I don't think so that any coins now has the demand or potential to beat bitcoins, in future there might be some coin but not now.
Will another coin beat bitcoin in terms of total market cap? Maybe, maybe not. Is it possible? Very possible. Though Ethereum is slowly but surely closing up on market cap(currently a 57.3 billion difference[1]), it still has a far far way to go; and I honestly don't see bitcoin being replaced soon. Probably in the future, but who knows? Too early to tell. And it might not even be ETH.

I think it is matter of time when Ethereum will be first in coin market cap. Unless Bitcoin developers do something about high transaction fee and long confirm times.
It will be a long time coming before bitcoin could be taken over, if ever. But we can have some good coins co-exist with it, no need for btc to be taken over for now.
for now it may be another difficult terrace of his coin to take the crown of bitcoin, as bitcoin has become king in the crypto world, but nothing is impossible in the world of crypto it all depends on the coin developers how it can take the hearts of investors and also the trader to switch from bitcoin to his altcoin
I would like to know if this is possible to ever happen. I don't see how this can happen right now. Bitcoin is strong and it's number one

It's hard to say another coin will be a dream for investors as long as the other coin still makes bitcoin as a reference to the determination and price movement of the coin. If the other coin can be detached from the effect of bitcoin movement then most likely to be the ideal coin for investors is very wide open. this possibility can still happen in the future as the technology continues to grow.
I like ethereum, it is a strong coin but it will never pass bitcoin. In my opinion bitcoin always remains the crypto king

include ripple.. has one of the most big supply.. eth so expensive. but it will take perhaps a decade to blot out bitcoin in cryptoworld.. as we all know btc is the most popular and most expensive coins in the world.. and take makes history.. that money have been gold backed by the country and here comes bitcoin slams it down... not just 1 time, not just 2 times..
Over time, it is quite possible that bitcoin can give way to another leader, a more successful crypto currency. I do not see anything unusual in this, especially in connection with the fact that bitcoin is not currently performing the full function of the payment facility due to its hanging transactions and high commission fees. These shortcomings have not been eliminated for a long time, and therefore it is quite possible that if this situation persists, then bitcoin risks very much the place of the leader of the crypto currency.
I think It's not possible at this time. But it's not impossible too. Another coin can beat bitcoin but My think and hope that Bitcoin will remain be the King. The world never thought a crypto coin can be hit like this but Bitcoin proved them wrong.

I'm pretty sure we'll soon see another leader in the market share of the crypto market. I dont know if this is going to be an Ethereum, but he has the best chance at least for now.
etherium is no competition for bitcoin

lol! So good to have BTC cheerleaders. Are you blonde? sorry these two coin not even in same level , etherium is clowns monies compare with bitcoin

No, and I won’t like that if it happens.
The company and management of bitcoin has a great performance in a long run therefore they cannot be easily defeated by someone else since they are more expert in this industry.
There will be no coin can take their crown in cryptocurreny.

bitcoin is too old now, there are many disadvantages that we can hardly accept it, so it will be replaced by another altcoins sooner or later, rightnow the most promising altcoin is Bitcoin cash because it just like bitcoin but with more blocks and fast in transactions but still limit 21 millions coin, that is much more familar to bitcoin than any other altcoins.

Do you mean for marketcap? In my opinion it's unlikely to happen, although not impossible. What's sure is that days of absolute BTC dominance are already gone...

That is true but we all have different prediction regarding this , our bitcoin is old it's been 8 years since it is born , and many competitors such as the new tron , ripple and many more , and yes it could positively can change or take over the place of bitcoin , due to the high volatile or the price of different coins.

There is a possibility it depends on the performance of the other coins in the crypto market. It might not happen as well for as long as investors invest in bitcoin its value will continue to grow and other coins would have a hard time to reach the value of Bitcoin. It is really hard to predict if an alternative coin can replace Bitcoin.

I think it has always been like this for bitcoin since then. Bitcoin's nature has always been volatile. Therefore, we must not doubt that bitcoin will be overthrown by other coins. It may take a lot of time for bitcoin to be overpowered. Also, the fact that bitcoin is getting more and more popular makes it more difficult for it to fall.
