Poll is now fixed.

I don't think any of them will, but it seems to me that Litecoin and Dash have good potential.  And dogcoin seems popular out of sheer silliness.  But I don't think any of them will reach parity.

None on that poll.  :D

Bytecoin will reach and surpass BTC in the medium term.

Obviously none of them. If you think otherwise you're not in touch with reality.

all have some potential but not in long term most of devs leaves and create another coin and so on.
most have there potential in past but now i dont see any of them perhaps im wrong but most of you think same.

NXT is the best option, securer blockchain and it is expansive

I voted Bitshares since I have a bunch. But in reality I don't think any will reach parity. Of all those coins listed I believe Monero has the best chance given enough years.

Why monero?

I think because given enough years they might get the wallet working and with a GUI.  Then with enough new polls and trolling, and ignoring the fact it's just an unfinished clone of Bytecoin, they can take on Bitcoin. If you live in Trollero™ land that is of course.

You forgot to add manipulation.

Look I'll fix it for you:


god it's like you need a babysitter.

Thanks G2M, you are right.  But price manipulation has hit a bump in the road recently with Poloniex deanonimizing 95% of Trollero™ global volume.  Warz and friends can't get the pump started again.  So right now it's trolling that is the main driver for Trollero™ I would argue and not the Polo pump team for a change.

MaidsafeCoin will become Safecoin when they move through beta and that could match BTC marketcap, even if it achieve a fraction of its ambition.. different number of total coins though for parity. If it then does away with the need for blockchains and can host Ethereum and DAPS work.. well, one thing at a time.

Ripple could blip for a short while but its model is a single saving over western union, so it will lose in the log run.. or more specifically any investor other than Ripple Inc who put money into that.

I know nothing of Monero.. but 'untraceable' in it's front page suggests niche like darkcoin etc and then will be no match for Safecoin as cash. Safecoin isn't looking to replace Bitcoin's ledger but might host blockchains without the worry of bloat.

BitShares is well places as PoS if there is a problem with PoW; I'd not suggest Peercoin because they always appeared weak on number of devs to ever be without risk.

NXT is too amateurish and the others are wannabes.. not that they won't stick around if BTC remains solid.

OH god that was literally brilliant. I've been on those dumbasses for at least a year about that. Nobody listens.

I'd probably buy Tristan a beer at this point. Killed two birds with one stone. Pumpers and ...

Considering how rapidly crypto is changing, I think it's safe to say Monero will be both obsolete and irrelevant in a few years.

I think if anything is going to reach parity with bitcoin it will be something completely new. Nothing on coinmarketcap is new. Even if you take all the best features of the top coins and put them into a new coin, it won't be enough to challenge bitcoin because all those features together are nowhere near worth replacing what's been working solidly.

Besides, altcoins are still being traded to- and from FIAT through bitcoin so I can't really see any of them reaching parity with bitcoin when they can't even get rid of bitcoin's fluctuation.
