Bitcoin Forum

so let's assume bitcoin has imploded. there's still an alt market and you're still committed to the concept of crypto.

where do you put your money after that? what other projects do you truly believe in long term? i don't mean the pursuit of quick dollars, i mean something that you're willing to sit on for many years with enough integrity and potential to really go places.

LTC, without a doubt.

iota. Although it aims B2B and M2M markets, not trying to compete with Goldman Sacks and PayPal.

yeah. i honestly think that's the only one that would meet my criteria for the long haul. i don't know if that's because i'd still be pining for a bitcoin and that's the closest equivalent.

Ethereum has too much infrastructure to fail (EEA, a near monopoly over ICOs, tons of dapp development, etc)

PIVX is the potential currency rival (not strong enough to rival the current bitcoin brand titan, but if BTC fell, I think PIVX would over take Dash and co)

ICN as the play to capture crypto market growth in general

Lots of other great projects I believe in too (NEM, ZCash, Bitbay, etc)

Ethereum 100%

72Million premine, unlimited supply.. This is not a good store of value and 100% would not replace Bitcoin.

I hope bitcoin wouldnot die and if it is to happen,then i would chose Decred because i think its the most under valued coin now.It has been developed by former bitcoin developers and i think it has good potential.

I'm not really a big coin holder and I do not turn to altcoins very much, but I think that Litecoin is a totally fine coin to replace Bitcoin in that scenario. Other coins do not seem to be anywhere near Bitcoin and they are all just pumps. Litecoin is the only good altcoin and it is much more stable than others.

I think people​ forget Litecoin basically is Bitcoin, just a bit faster and with fairer distribution. Satoshi is estimated to have one million bitcoins because he started mining totally by himself, not that it was his fault. Litecoin was announced fairly in the middle of a growing Bitcoin community. It's also one of the oldest coins so it's had time to get a broad base.

i will fill my bag with Ripple  :)

wow. good luck with that one. i find it kinda weird that it's even mentioned on here at all.

I don't know what to choose to be honest, I don't see any coin that as good as bitcoin for now, and very doubt the alt coin could survive for long term, maybe I will wait and observe what coin the majority people invested in, if nothing fit my criteria I will quit crypto world, but for now if I need to choose then I will go to either ETH or Litecoin

Ethereum is less scalable than Bitcoin.  There's hardly any users in Ethereum (only speculators) and the blockchain has bloated to many gigabytes.  There's also credible security concerns about the whole Ethereum technology after DAO.

Realistically, the 'old money' of Bitcoin will probably move over to the twin Litecoin.

There really isn't a viable "let's steal Bitcoin's userbase" strategy for alternates.  You have to go blue ocean and gain adoption from people who are not already in crypto.

Ethereum is several times faster than BTC. And raiden will come this month, and it will allow over 1mil TPS. Hardly any users ? There are hundreds of dapps, eth has real usage. Also check the volume.

You can invest into litecoin and depend on the 2-3 chinese whales, i won't. Every few days that wang guy tweets something to either drop or pump the price, because he alone has 35% of total hashrate.

ltc bitbay doge pivx eth

Decred because imo. it solves the fundamental governance problem that Bitcoin has: https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/decred-benefits-bitcoin-impasse-joins-altcoins-rise/

If bitcoin was dead , I would consider XRP, ETH or DASH but XRP will be the most interesting coin for me . I believe that XRP will become a digital currency after Bitcoin and it can be a good payment method online in the future.

I am in favor of ETHereum. The ethereum thing is "in" now a days and many eth contract are becoming popular. Even t some coins are changing to eth contract I am sure ethereum will gain with the absence of bitcoin.Of course there are coins who are worthy to support also.

ARK, it's a mega ecosystem which becoming a big player soon.

ETH, XMR, DCR

LTC (actually moved to that already).

I only buy xrp and hold it for long term . I wish Xrp will be the best coin in next 2 years. it can hit 0.5usd in the end of year of 2018. The xrp community want this coin to become a the good payment currency in the crypto world.

For me it's either XMR or LTC. I am a bit attracted to Litecoin since it's bitcoin in disguise, and it would do the job.

I would choose ethereum  too,but I might not be that active unlike here in bitcoin, I might not get enough interest learning new things other than in bitcoin that I enjoyed now,its features and supported apps.

I think it will depend on the reasons for the implosion if the implosion was caused by the current debate and another alt had activated segwit then that will be an interesting choice but if bitcoin imploded by other more obscure reasons then I don’t know if I will remain in crypto.

Such a situation won't arise and if that happens too  no altcoin grow same as bitcoin. Lot and lots of altcoins are found, people prefer different coins based on the requirement. This will diverse the user profiles causing the altcoins to be listed next to bitcoin.

Zec for me

I've rarely owned litecoin, but I'll have to second this.  Also if doge and Dash were still around in such a scenario, I'd use either one or both.  They're both useful as currencies because of low fees and quick confirmation times and it's a shame that the markets for each are so stunted.

I would choose LTC.

its not going to happen..if it does it probably drags all the alts with it to the grave ...ZEC for me though..

i would go with the fork that would come if bitcoin die, basically bitcoin can't die, because if it die like you said, they make it an altcoin based on bitcoin, with new market and value and everything begin from zero again, but if this is not possible because there is no interest anymore and this is the only reason why an altcoin may die, i could go with HLM new spreadcoin project, i love that project look very promising to me

XRP ? I hope you're kidding. XRP can't even be a public digital currency because it is centralized and it's controlled by a private company. No one in their right mind would think of accepting XRP as a public digital currency, because Ripple is like a central bank, they can create coins out of thin air and dump on market, as they often do. It's like saying i would go for KFC coin because.. reasons

If Bitcoin dies, all the blockchain altcoins will die.. the you'll have only Byteball and Iota..  ;)

If Bitcoin would die, it would only happen if Cryptocurrencies will ever be declared illegal in most countries worldwide. People will get VERY scared and sell all their holdings as soon as possible, driving the price to the bottom of the bowl. I don't see this happening though.

First ,, i think if bitcoin dies, altcoins will dies too,
because most people know bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency in this crypto world,,
but never mind,, if bitcoin dies, i will go for Dash, Eth and XMR  :)

this is a hypothetical situation that has been asked at least a dozen times with a dozen topics. and they all lack one thing in their logic "Why did bitcoin die in that hypothetical situation?"

there can be many reasons and most of them lead to a very simple answer: "I would choose none of the altcoins" and the reason is even simpler. because if the biggest thing out there with the most adoption, the longest time being around, with the best and biggest developers working on it such as Satoshi and Hal Finney,... and a lot more, if this fails i wouldn't even consider an altcoin which is a copy of bitcoin in 90% of cases and they don't even have half the development team!

maybe the sheer weight of vested interests and warring camps is exactly what might end up screwing everything up. there's probably at most a few hundred or low thousands of individuals who have control over this thing and at are each other's throats.

on the other side there's a few million people who want something that simply works and has a secure and bright future. i don't believe they have infinite patience for turf wars. forgetting price and market action for a moment, coins such as litecoin look like a much more peaceful and constructive scene right now.

of course all of bitcoin's problems could transfer elsewhere but there's time for other coins to take what's been learnt and apply it before all the assholes descend. segwit on litecoin would be a prime example of this.

LTC only if we already managed to get segwit enabled, otherwise we will stumble upon the same problems.

Also if bitcoin dies it means i dont have any money to invest in any alts and I would be back to 0 so I would just be done with crypto and with life in general.

So you have to jump ship before ship sinks.

I guess I would diversify in XMR, ETH and LTC. What else is there?

hands down, its stratis.

Yes, I also trust litecoin for now. But I would also be willing to go for ethereum as second best after bitcoin.
Nevertheless, my choice will depend more on the pay rates. In case there will appear nice signature campaigns paying not in ethereum or litecoin but still in some stable coin easy to sell, I'll choose that one, because cryptos are mostly the way of earning for me now.

Bitcoin would never die and many altcoins today are dependent only on bitcoins as their buyers/sellers are only active in the BTC field. I would choose ETH, DASH, EDG and DTB as of now as they have a great potential to reach 0.1-0.2 BTC if there are enough traders on exchanges and their starting value is much higher than what BTC was when it was just launched.

If bitcoin dies, There are many altcoins available in the market. There are best ones and there are some other that is slowly climbing the market. Like Eth, Clock, or LTC are the best ones right now and some also like ConCoin, XRB and other new alt coins that are coming. So if Bitcoin dies there are many choices you have you can invest in some new alt coins in the market. You just to have choose wisely but coin coin rules.  :) :)

I'll go to what are in the top 5,I always believe that we should not put all your eggs in one basket,so I'll go for the number two spot for a huge chunks of my funds then equally distributed to the third spot to the fourth spot.

in 2013 definitely, these days less so. there are more and more direct fiat gateways for alts and if you go read places like r/ethtrader there are people there who've never touched bitcoin at all.

it would definitely be a disaster but there's enough interest elsewhere to keep things moving.

There were really a lot that we can be able to get test and testified whether they were suit enough to replace bitcoin As per articles and seeing the news I might go with XMR and ETH. Both were mention in most Alt coins that have higher value when mined. I hope there were  still other coins that can exceeds the expectation that bitcoin have offered.

      Thats true many altcoins now that can replace bitcoin if ever it dies but I do think thats not going to be soon or its going to be a long long long time or its not going to die. XMR and ETH are good choices for alternate if ever bitcoin dies those are one of the highest value in the market right now. I also think theres also going to be more altcoins in the futures thats going increase in value and definitely can be mined in higher value. We just have to wait and see soon enough. ;)




CONCOIN - The most dangerous cryptocurrency in the world™

I think LTC, ETH and ardro may be

if bitcoin die, what would be the price of other alt in bitcoin? i think all the alt would lose value and die as well or becoming not that good as they are now, all the money are in bitcoin, which make all the other coins valuable, when bitcoin was going to fok with BU, the money were moving from bitcoin to dash and ETH, the strongest, this scenario can repeat itself every time bitcoin is in trouble, but it could also be that the money will move to something else, if bitcoin go down too much, like gold or stocks market

LTC is a cloned code of BTC with a few small tweaks. What will cause BTC death can be applied to LTC just as easily.

politics is the most likely cause of bitcoin fading away. litecoin has the chance of pushing through something that'll open up a huge amount of stuff that's being denied bitcoin.

Why do you believe the same politics cannot happen in LTC? It has the same miner centralization in China. It is, well, a copycat, what else to say. It might do well in the short and mid terms. In the long term it has the same flaws as Bitcoin.

of course it will. but there's a window where segwit could happen and that could be the future. once it's through, it's through.

there's also a possibility that the people steering litecoin will learn from all the shit that happened to bitcoin and do their best to address it. look at how active charlie lee has been about trying to get segwit through. he's been open to more radical ideas than anyone from core ever was.

Once it's through, it could be the end of a decentralized censorship-free coin. The possibility of LN hubs being used to censor transactions is not FUD, it is real. The price of the coin could multiply many-fold regardless. Not everyone is unhappy with censorship, Paypal is still prosperous and they censor like mad men.

I'd say Eth and Doge because both those have mainstream profiles and the key to success is ordinary people knowing your coin exists.

I think I would divide my coins between eth and litecoin, maybe a bit of ripple too.
They seem to be the most used ones so far, with high volumes and all. I would still continue day trading on altcoins tough, so I would buy and sell all the coins that looks attractive regardless of bitcoins situation.

It's not even a choice really. XMR is the only other choice for longterm IMO.

I think it will appear among them (eth,xrp,dash,xem,ardr) ;D

very easy to think, some people would move USD to some altcoin great, and will be back again to bitcoin, bitcoin private think will never die, because circulation usd in cryptocurency too big, and this is a good start for the future.

monero

I would wait to see what altcoin would be chose as the main currency among all the crypto currencies. There will be always a main currency while all another will be the altcoins. And who will choose it are the big investors, the guys who keep the bitcoin price moving, probably the chineses.

So ltc goes segwit

Btc goes bu


This is a growth influence for ltc. And a growth deterrent for btc.

So a year from now. Ltc is 500 usd a coin btc is still at 1200usd a coin.

Bit fury figures a better ASIC boost .  They do it on the sneak.  Bitmain figures an even better ASIC boost.

They do it on the sneak.

This huge hidden hash causes a lack of confidence  In btc it continues to flatten while ltc grows and passes btc in 2020.

Btc finally goes to segwit too late in 2021. This makes more growth in ltc as it had a head start at segwit.

It is now 2222 with ltc at 1400 usd and btc at 500 usd.

All of above is an exercise of what if.  And while possible I don't think it will happen.

None,

It wont dies, just because asciboost miner are investing tons of money/time to try preserve their advantage..

Bitcoin have the Brand and the Brains !

I stick with it,

After this drama, when we'll be in SegWit mode, mining and Bitcoin in general will just be more fair, and more eficient for all..

Dont panic, be patient..

Monero, it has some features that can make it replace Bitcoin, Litecoin is a very good choice too.

I can't imagine what have to happen that bitcoin would die first of all.
But if that happen, I'm probably would go out of the crypto world. Yes, there are some good altcoins, but I don't see which can be first option for mostly people. Maybe Litecoin, but I'm not a big fan of it.

Okayy, let's assume Bitcoin dies..I would put my money into Litecoin or Monero.Monero will have a bright future, that's for sure! :)

First off it would take a massive implosion for bitcoin to die. Miners are already heavily invested and banks have created full out bitcoin divisions. But if the implosion did happen LTC is next up. ETH proposed transition to POS may have unknown side effects.

I'm interested in some alts but if I will only choose one. It would be Ethereum. 2nd choice are Litecoin, Clam, and dash. I dont like dogecoin maybe because of low value.

Okay lets assume if bitcoin would die Ill go for Eth and LTC altcoins. Because I beleive these coins will have a good future ahead. Still these will be the choice of others I think because of its pump and dumped in the market. But all of these bitcoin would really be the top on this.

No, I don't assume that bitcoin is going to die. And I don't bet for any alt coin if "ever" that is going to happen. Bitcoin will remain the main deal for crypto currency.


Yeah, I'll do the same thing, there's nothing to worry about. The price is up and this type of topic isn't going to help bitcoin to grow. But okay, let's say it will happen, the crypto currency market will be crazy and that's the time for me go out of it.

Yup, the way you are doing is a good thing to make you get no big loss if indeed bitcoin already in time for dead or expired. Bitcoin is a digital currency that most beneficial compared to some of the existing currency, but the weakness of the bitcoin is on the system and also being one of the users. Bitcoin system now have some problems and it made a complaint against user bitcoin, indeed it's not something fatal thing but if there is no good solution then growth will be slower or bitcoin can be will disappear or die
 

VC will never die not there are too many people with assets that cannot be converted to fiat without repercussions. BTC has always been the gold standard as it is and has been a blockckain that is large enough to be a safe store of wealth but as that becomes more centralized the foundation is crumbling. It cannot hold it's position forever with the choices the community has been (not) making.

To find the best Alt for to hedge vs BTC just look at stability VS fiat and make sure it has organic growth and not just premine P&D's

And what are you going to do when vitalik hard forks your coins away? ETH has already lost all it's credibility by removing it's immutability. LTC is pretty safe as far as that goes, long periods of stable price, kept updated and a large community and the merge mining helps it as well and spreads the hash. It's being used as P&D right now from inside trading but that will level out soon enough. BTC choice are making LTC more attractive everyday. But I still think XMR is the safest bet with the highest upside.

Ripple is a complete 100% pre-mined centralized shitcoin that is the worst P&D out there just check the charts. There is no stability or safety in XRP.

There is a lot of altcoins (of course) lying around here and there.
But the only one that I really trust and feel that it's a "sleeping-giant" is LTC.

Eth has potential as well but I don't know litecoins just grab my attention much more.

Litecoin is on the stage for a long time and we need to give that coin a credit for surviving so long, I`m among the people who like litecoin and that is my second choice. In this moment litecoin is still affordable for many people, and maybe litecoin can be next coin that will rise like eth and dash raised in past year, that is also one important thing that can make people start buying litecoin, higher demand will lead to price rise. Many things go in favor for litecoin, to not mention that lately there is many threads here about litecoin, some videos on youtube. Litecoin suits my taste much more then eth or dash.

Ethereum is totally different technology. Monero is a big potenital for future. Dash need to time. it's too early for say something. and we can't ignore LTC. Of course other coins isn't trash but They provide service other tech like Ethereum. for ex. We can't compare with Ripple and BTC or ETH. These are tottaly different technology. So when evaluate it we should consider it. We don't know other geneterations what brings.

I would go for the AG ALTernative.. the physical stuff not paper.

If Bitcoin would die then there are alternatives like monero or eth but these both coin have difference i think monero would really have thr potential to be used if bitcoin would die.LTC is a good option too but monero would be better.

You are a miner, very active in the mining section. How would you rate your own influence to steer the ship? I'm somewhat missing small miners at a huge mass stating their opinion. Bitcoin turned into something only the big guys are mining nowadays, which sucks.
Main reason why I am into Alts.

Ageed.
LTC is my choice also it have potential than ethereum.
Ethereum is good also but I have a bad feeling on it because the last big crash happen on the ethereum.

I would personally go with Ethereum. But, because Litecoin is so much like Bitcoin, I would also go for Litecoin.
I guess 2 is better than 1 XD

If Bitcoin which is not likely to happen at this time I will go for eth.being in the number two spot in the coinmarketcap,some other good alternatives are monero,litecoin and doge.although there are some other innovative coins too.

number two spot is kinda meaningless. everything right now happens under bitcoin's wing. if it was gone then i think people would assess things in a very different way.

Good choices, since these two are making noise in the crypto market. But still when this happen, I really can't see any alt coin to choose and well if I will ever quit after this scenario. Maybe I'll be back for a couple of months or longer and will look on the news on what's the current and if the market is still promising I'll in and will choose.

None, if Bitcoin dies the money will leave the market and other Altcoins will follow. I still believe in that Bitcoin is what is keeping Cryptocurrencies network effect together.

Just a commonsense thing to happen on which people will surely jump on other coin or crypto when bitcoin tend to die and dont think too seriously since its just an assumption since we do all know bitcoin wont easily die or being replaced.there are lots of potential alts around does capable on taking the top spot.

I think more than 50% of the people will leave the crypto currencies. People are here because of Bitcoin.
I don't trade into altcoins more but I would like to try LTC it Zcash if there was a certain situation. I think they both have the potential to sustain for some years.

If someone can tell me a better crypto than Iota i will buy it

Initially Bitcoin caught all of the attention, yes. But if any coin could claim beeing "Bitcoin 2.0" or similar, kinda the right inheritor? Would have to be in line with current source code. Some further developped variant.

1 post about stratis!

i will do with ltc and etc although i am not sure with this 2 altcoin but i think its fine to choose them. but i think, as long as many people still using bitcoin, then there is no chance for bitcoin to died and only because of the dev and the team with the community, bitcoin can get stronger than we know.

I don't think a coin with such a potential of bitcoin exists anymore getting a good developer team as bitcoin has got. Bitcoin 2.0 might be a possible one, but it might exist as a competitor and not as a replacement for the present bitcoin.

if bitcoin dies crypto dies, but I would go all-in on XMR, and hope I was wrong

My realistic answer is that I wouldn't put my money in crypto anymore, if Bitcoin dies, crypto dies for a generation.

Using your rules though, I would have to go to an alt. Looking at the top coins, I couldn't imagine why Litecoin would succeed when Bitcoin fails. I don't trust ETH or centralized Ripple. Anonymous coins have no wide spread future, they are fo buying drugs.

So, the highest coin on the market cap list I could find that I don't dislike is Peercoin. So I will go with that!

Of course not.
There are already better alternatives on the market, more resistant to hostile corporate takeovers.

If btc dies I would probably go for ETH

LTC without a doubt, I  have not checked recently but the support for segwit was big there so we may see the activation very soon if it has not happened already and with it we may see a bull run for segwit.

PIVX, DASH look good. I tried ethereum but neither mist nor solidarity wallet would open and work on my machine. However, I think ethereum might just takeover.  ;D

2012-13 maybe, but definitely not any more. there's dollar markets for enough alts now and some of them are off doing things that bitcoin can't. it's kind of getting to a point now where i think it's stupid that people get uptight about bitcoin losing 'market share'. the market should be splintering. there's so much more happening now.

WBB's rebranded coin but even moreso, 1EX COINS

XMR.

The only other decent contender would be ETH, but ETH lost me when the devs abused their centralized power.

Wow nice topic it really caught me,
There are plenty of alt-coin right now but I don't really know where would I go if bitcoin dies,
Maybe I would go where most of people would go that's what I think I would do if it ever happens.

It could happen, even if the new coin is not as strong as bitcoin was, the amount of money invested in crypto will get bigger as it gets more popular and that will allow any altcoin to eventually reach a greater market cap that the one bitcoin could have reached.

PPC has gotten my attention as long as the pegged at a dollar NBT NuBits project was healthy. Now I would not know what to do with those PPC besides selling.
And by coincidence Tether currently has legal issues against Wells Fargo, Bitfinex might get affected.

If high volatile crypto coins fall flat, maybe anything "1 Dollar" stabilized construct might jump into the gap. Makes sense that those occasionally have run into issues, maybe there are bigger forces watching this development too.

i will go for Cloakcoin,, this project is growing with silent

None of these pegged coins seem to be able to survive. Tether sounds like it might be screwed for now. And what's the point of holding a pegged coin long term anyway?  Stick with a bank account and you get the same money with insurance and zero risk.

Ripple of course

Mentioned here a few times already, but I would also go with Litecoin. It's similar to Bitcoin and a little bit better imo.
I also really like that fact that there will more coins in circulation than with Bitcoin. I've always found that 21 million cap a bit on the low side.

Nothing last forever. Eventually Bitcoin will die. But I agree with you will not be that fast.

About the choice who would took over, you could hear opinion of guy who saved a NASA shuttle mission back  in 1994

https://moneromonitor.com/episodes/2017-04-10-Episode-002.html

Howard: Yeah. I suppose if you dig into Monero as I have done and do the reading and you think about cryptocurrencies work or how they should work, you start to realize that Monero is actually unique. In a field where there are thousands of coins out there, new ones being forked off and presented every day, Monero is actually, as I put it, it’s the only one that actually deserves the title of cryptocurrency, right? If you look at where the word “crypto” comes from, from the Greek “cryptos” which means hidden, okay? And you look at the science of cryptography; most of cryptography is oriented towards obfuscating data, hiding information. Alright, hiding information such that only the person you want to see it is allowed to see it, right?
Mike: Yeah.
Howard: But if you look at every other “cryptocurrency” that exists, none of them actually hides information.
Mike: I guess, you could argue that Bitcoin uses cryptography to hide the keys to your wallet and that everything else while being public, if you can’t hide the keys, then there’s no way that this could work. You could argue that that still fits that definition, couldn’t you?
Howard: That’s like saying, okay, you hide the keys to the front door of your house, right? Everybody still knows that your house is sitting where it is.
Mike: True.
Howard: But the important part… You can consider a key to be an access control mechanism, it says, this is how you get through this doorway, right?
Mike: Sure.
Howard: But with Monero, everything is hidden, even the door is hidden.
Mike: Okay.
Howard: The information that’s being transmitted over the Monero network is hidden and that’s really what cryptography is about, about hiding the messages.
Mike: Yeah, okay, so maybe you’d be happy calling Bitcoin a digital currency, but Monero is a true cryptocurrency, I can buy that.

It might seem funny though I think that Ripple would be the one that survives if Bitcoin fails.

XMR is actually the good choice, fair mining and large adoption in black market, I will go for ETH, XMR, STRAT, GNT.

XMR is pretty good though I think that it's overpriced for the time being. The Darknet price pump wasn't worth the hype, there should be more people trying to use Monero instead of Bitcoin.

In my knowledge if ever Bitcoin dies then 99% all of the crypto currency will die because when Bitcoin like old coins can die then what is the fate of other coins. All of the coins are valued under Bitcoin and do you think that if Bitcoin dies do the crypto currency users will have faith on other altcoins, I dont think so. So Bitcoin death is the death of crypto currency and all of them will go back to the fiat currency way.

i agree with you. at the end incentive for developers are fiat.

Ill go for eth or LTC this two coin is really have great future to be next in bitcoin. Since my first in trading i see that this two coin having great progress and allow me to earn good profit that is why i choose these coins.

If the idea is to "store value for the long term", or "play greater fool" I don't see the use of crypto.  If it is to use as a currency, it doesn't matter much, does it, from the moment you can acquire it, and spend it.  But "currency usage" is not something that became a success in crypto 'currencies', is it ?

The only reason to use crypto is when you can't do it with fiat, for one or another reason.  I can only think of things like monero, or zcash or so, to be suitable for that.  I wouldn't touch DASH with a stick.  I guess LTC could be used for those things that have some fiat obstacle that isn't a legal obstacle, and where you don't have to hide (but in most cases, then you CAN use fiat).  And if you want to gamble, most probably eth or one of its ICO tokens for gamblers, is suitable.

But it all depends on why you need crypto (why can't you do it with fiat ?) ; different needs may/should induce different coins.

If it is to trade and to play greater-fool games, the coin doesn't really matter, does it ?  It is penny stock then.

It would be LTC without a doubt.  China's only option also...  Ripple and XMR would have no chance.

Ripple
Stellar
SingularDTV
IEx.ec
Golem

Ethereum,litecoin and ripple are big contenders but any coin could make a big surprise like dogecoin and burstcoin and who knows a darkhorse coin could emerge like Burstcoin and Mrai all of these has a strong community support

SingularDTV could have the huge price increase that everyone in that thread wants, as of now the price of the coin is very expensive so I would have to sit that out unless there's a huge dump.

The logical answer is ethereum but i guess better projects are out there. Not dash, but maybe pivx and stratis and nem

NEM = "new economy movement" that sounds nice at least, marketing wise. I have forgotten what NXT stood for :( and seemingly its a ghost town by now, not a prospering competitor. NEM and NXT stood on my notecard since when I began exploring BTC.
Maybe their Ardor rebranding can revive it? Nobody mentioned it so far as I have seen.

It depends!
If some serious bug is found in code this will be the end of all coins, because they are all copies. Trust will be lost forever, and i believe this advantage will be taken by big corporations and banks this is simple. Their solutions will save us all!
Else i don't see how Bitcoin can suddenly be dead?
 

Considering how mining is a huge waste of resources, and the cost of the wasted energy is charged to the users of the system, the future is not by some proof-of-waste coin like LTC, monero or dash.

I would go for Ripple or PIVX.

It will be hard to get bitcoin reads now that it's increasing in number of user, lots of investor using bitcoin now and have lots of development it can be done to it. A big future ahead in bitcoin, but if ever that suddenly dead of bitcoin happens ,I will try to use XMR or make more research on the different alt coins possibilities of growing.

A quick look at coinmarketcap.com reveals at least 10 cryptocurrencies that were started from scratch and do not share any code with Bitcoin. There are more of them.

if bitcoin dies,, i will go for XRP

what a great venue to promote ripple as we all still waiting for the success of this coin might be possible to adopt by banks as they
continue to work it out and if that happen even btc fails crypto can still be carried by xrp as a good alternative.

Ethereum, obviously. This is the most likely choice for other user as well. The other coins you put doesn't look good for me to invest though. They would likely to go dead as well because of the low trading volume they have. Although mrai is also looking good from my perspective, but I doubt it can it can sustain it in the future.

Litecoin will implemented a segwit so I will go for litecoin,then ethereum of course bitconnectcoin is a promising coin and monero is such a steady coin,so I'll go for those coins if the unlikely happen but I doubt it will.

Now in reality, bitcoin is not going to die. It is still alive and have a good position that others. So now i am not accepting that bitcoin is die, That's why i am not comparison any other crypto with bitcoin.   

OPs question was not if any coin is to expensive right now, but which coin would took over dominant part in crypto if suddenly Bitcoin proves unsecured.

When you talk of prices, I think whole cryptospace it overheated and  we will most likely see serious corrections in upcoming months. Funny thing is that I totally disagree with you about  Monero. Monero will not correct much.

It’s a complicated issue, but as I see it the most sure thing, for me, would be that I could go back to fiat. But if we assume that I want to stay in crypto world I would go with two alts. The first one is ltc and the second in monero. Ltc because is some years around meaning that has gain the people's trust, and has some features like as faster block confirmation time and is cheap, so would be widely accepted from people. However the anonymity, privacy and untraceablility of monero inspires me what a cryptocurrency must be. If we want censorship then why not use paypal and visa cards which are buyer friendly medium of payment?

I would go for a mix between litecoin, ethereum, xmr, zcash... if BTC dies it would be a gamble trying to find the right coin, so i guess diversification would be the right move.

It's not going to die tho, so its not even an issue.

While questions like these are fair, they belie an attitude common in crypto that is unwise in the extreme: going all-in on a single coin (or at least very short list). Most professional investors won't put more than 2-5% of their investment capital at risk in any one venture. The crypto space has fewer strong options, but I would still advocate no more than 5-10% in any one coin, 15% at most.

For instance, a lot of people have answered, "Ethereum," and I agree with that general sentiment. But remember it wasn't long ago that an attacker found a way to temporarily cripple the network. The next attack might be more successful, and that's true of every coin out there.

So say you want to put 25% of your stack into an anon coin. Don't ask yourself, "Which one is best," then all-in that coin. Instead, rank them and then distribute your 25% to ranking. You will do better on average in the long run splitting that 25% into, say, 3 different anon coins. After all, Monero was crushing the anon coin market until recently when Dash blew up. Someone who thought Monero (or Zec) was best would have benefited from the run up in Dash so long as they were at least a little bit diversified.

My choice is ETH, I believe that someday ETH can be a threat to Bitcoin when new altcoins of today or incoming altcoins will be created under blockchain framework of eTH.

Eth all the way even Microsoft is backing it up

I really dont know yet because most of the alts will have around here have not been able to live up to expectation and there are no generally accepted parameters to decide the good investment for those ones coming out on a daily basis. I am sure when that finally happens and bitcoin dies, then I won't be the only person affected and I will have no other option than to follow the community to the alts its choosing.

I have whispered you the holy grail before, but here it goes again, Stratis

I think I'll go with Ethereum

The 21 million cap may seem low but in the future we will not need to transact full bitcoins at the moment I prefer to use the mBTC as the correct way to measure bitcoin since the price is close to one dollar may be in the future we will have to use even lower amounts to represent the unit closer to a dollar in value.

hi guys,

Will most likely go for ripple. Any feedback on Stratis?

Cheers

LTC, if I had to pick one.
ETH would make my list but it will have gone PoS by the time Bitcoin managed to "implode" making it impossible to mine.

Realistically though, as I'm a MINER not an INVESTOR, I target which coins are the most profitable for the most part for the hardware I currently have.

Definitely ripple and stratis for sure. Have already invested in Ripple and hope to get some profit soon, stratis is going to be a valuable coin in the future, need some quality experience from the senior members here.

I wanna go with LTC, besides from being the nearly identical Cryptocurrency to Bitcoin, some are saying that it is the silver from bitcoins gold.

Tho' etherium is a good choice too, it's development is still ongoing and a very good contender to Bitcoin. As a matter of fact, Microsoft giant is backing it up.
If Bitcoin will vanish I think I'll go with these two.

There are so many good altcoins out there proposing interesting ideas but that fact that Ardor will solve the scalability issue for good makes me think it is the altcoin for the future.

I will choose Ethereum and blackcoin, I think PoS is the future.

yes,, XRP is a good alternative for bitcoin,,
its always on TOP 5 of cryptocurrency in marketcap,,

i've never really looked into pos. what is the most successful one and have any of the significant ones had any major disasters? something that doesn't burn insane amounts of electricity and machinery makes alot of sense.

I also go with LTC, i may not have any holding of this but the way I see it, even with different algorithm, this resembles Bitcoin in so many ways.  The only advantage is that this has fast confirmation.  Aside from Litecoin, I cannot see anything else, others maybe popular but they are either instamined, premined or centralized.

Decred

Definitely lite coin it is already the most established and has been a pretty stable price for a while.  ETH and the like are too recent for my tastes.

you can not be specific by giving altcoin who will be next in bitcoin, there are lots of altcoin which having a great and stable value, for now we can not know which altcoin in the next in bitcoin yet since they are all base in bitcoin value.

I see a lot of opinions on what people might go for but what I would like to know is "WHY" you have chosen that particular alt coin. I recently heard about "Torcoin" does anybody know more about this coin & who is behind it?

There are many coins in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, but if we're going for something to replace Bitcoin, it would have to be Dash. It's following in Satoshi's original vision of a peer-to-peer digital cash, has better-incentivized governance to prevent the kinds of problems Bitcoin has run into today, and works much better as a streamlined payment system.

In fact, even if Bitcoin doesn't collapse, but stays the same and even continues to grow, Dash's Evolution update will likely push it to the average consumer far before any other coin. These will be interesting times to watch.

Just a heads up to all you guys thinking Eth will ever capture BTC. There is no way any BTC maximalists will convert to eth except for day trading. THEY understand the term immutability, you boys don't.

XBY has a radical new way to secure the blockchain. No miners or POS but system of signed static nodes that makes the chain impossible to be hacked. its my personal bet on the future.

bitcoin will be priced in Dash in 1-2 years  :P

I will go to Ethereum .The community are big and the acceptance based on other cryptocurency is much higher .A successful crypto i think that can also stand alone without bitcoins as its stability itself.

I would go for Ethereum, no question asked ! I believe this is the second greatest crypto-currency after Bitcoin. It has a great use case, a great support and a great safeness and set of services. A good crypto-currency in short.

I do not need red letters and stuff to clearly state that Ardor solves the scalability issue as no other crypto-currency is doing at the moment.

Definitely going to LTC or DOGE.

LTC for stability and price is slowly increasing olso
DOGE because to me this is a great coin and regardless of the value that is not great, but to the amount I have and therefore I keep collecting them all the time

bitcoin is the mother of cryptocurrency i have doubt there is an altcoins able even pretty near to the popularity of bitcoin however if this is happened i would not stick for only one altcoins because for me it depend which altcoins have concept similar just like bitcoin and probably my pick will drop to the most popular of altcoins in the world

Why don't you guys go read my post a few up from yours and then go and research what it means. The bolded made me choke on my coffee, that is hilarious, did you actually have a straight face while typing thay or are you just that ignorant of the subject?


Here I'll help.



https://bitsonblocks.net/2016/02/29/a-gentle-introduction-to-immutability-of-blockchains/

True. HODLcoin is good for hodling, not for spending.

If bitcoin dies in near future, I'll most probably be investing the money in dash, Monero and ethereum.

i will not stay in one altcoin if bitcoin die i plan to divide all of my investment to other altcoin  for example ltc,eth,dash, etc .but i already do it now even the bitcoin is not dead i only give 20% of my investment in btc and the other 80% in the altcointhat i think have a potential.

Just like I do now, I would spread out my funds into different alts opposed to one. I'd put my eggs in XEM, STRAT, and ETH.

I would go to ETH/ETC or LTC. I have been slowly investing in those coins lately. Actually I'm saving some for future used. The price of this coin looks good actually and maybe I can benefit from It who knows. And as just they say. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

I will go for litecion definitely and XMR will be on the list too

it would be the final demonstration of what i've suspected for a long time. as long as the dollars are rolling in, not enough people really care about what bitcoin was designed to be.

and maybe bitcoin itself is no longer designed to do it when you look at the deformed power structures that've developed. at least it's never rolled back.

I think I will go for Monero, it has a great community, and I like it. But Bitcoin will never die, so...

Nothing is Permanent on this Earth and every generation said the same thing about every new technology so you cant give the universal statement. Monero has good community support but ETH has more and more popularity among the cryptocurrencies after Bitcoin.

Scaling issues aside, a PoW (proof-of-waste) coin will not be replacing the first failed PoW.

You guys realize that the BTC miners are using as much electricity as a smaller western modern country.
All it does is to move the control over the currency to where the electricity is the cheapest, and the company that can develop the most energy-efficient chips.

All this electricity has a price. This price is draining the users of value.

It's the most inefficient payment system bar none. To think that once BTC is out of the way, we would move on to the next giant resource waster is to simply not understand the markets.
 

all true but if you look into the electricity situation the cheapest is electricity that's otherwise going to waste. they've built mines next to hydro plants in china that churn out power that no one's using.

mining will become more efficient, electricity production will become more sustainable. in portugal recently they last something like three and a half days on pure renewable power recently.

1. No, it's not going to waste. You simply do not build new power plants.
2. If mining becomes more efficient, you simply mine more. You do not choose to mine less to have smaller bills.
3. If energy becomes cheaper, you can do other useful stuff from it, like drive a car. Not waste it completely.

You simply fail to understand that the BTC miners pay at least !!!!!! 6 billion dollars !!!!!! A DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Could be towards 20 billion or 40 billion as well, I just took a ridiculously cheap price.

If you do not see a problem with this, I don't know what to say.

Honestly if Bitcoin dies, I think that the Altcoin Market won't last long. Let us think of a reason first why Bitcoin will be dead. Probably its big like the government is taking action of making Bitcoin illegal. With that being started Bitcoin will drastically have a lower demand, But I don't think Bitcoin users' next step will be finding am Altcoin to replace Bitcoin. Because they know that Cryptocurrency in general has now have a bad image to the government. Also Bitcoin being dead can greatly influence the Cryptocurrency in general, being the father of it all is obvious.

If I had to choose one than I would probably choose either LiteCoin, Monero, or Etherium; although I think that a crash in Bitcoin would cause a crash in most every altcoin.

Honestly, if Bitcoin crashes I will probably call crypocurrencies a failure and quit using them.

A wise trader holds many coins. With that said, ETH. Stratis looks promising as well.

all in monero

If Bitcoin dies I will shift to Litecoin.  I believe Litecoin function like Bitcoin and with faster confirmation.  And Bitcoin developer won't have difficulty in shifting to litecoin to develop it further. 


I do not think all altcoins lives depends on Bitcoin.  there are lots of altcoin that have its strength and purpose.  Being the father of cryptocurrency does not mean when it became obsolete, so all the cryptocurrency is. 

It would be nice to open a poll to see which one receives more votes.

If Bitcoin died, I would create my own altcoin and I would name it Bitcoin.

It's amazing how many morons trade based on nothing but what the other sheeple are doing, they just don't get the fact they will be the last bag holder when the music stops.

Until then, it's hard to say, coz it might well be something that doesn't yet exist today. Also depends on the reason WHY bitcoin imploded -- coz other blockchains using the same feature which got compromised will also not survive.

But perhaps it could be something along the lines of ethereum or even xmr or zcash or byteball? who knows..

If bitcoin dies, other crypto currencies will die too, but I think Ethereum may not be dead, because ETH is second largest crypto currency.

If bitcoin dies i will choose ethereum and make investments into it, i choose ethereum because there are some reasons,
1. Ethereum has large of capitalization marketcap after bitcoin, we can see on https://coinmarketcap.com
2. Ethereum has good innovations and fitures with smart contract on ethereum blockchain
3. Many projects be builded on ethereum network and it is mean many people who use ethereum than other   altcoins
4. Ethereum has good fluctuation of price, so with ethereum the traders can make good profit.

With the bitcoin nothing gone bad Because I understand that if bitcoin will goes die then Ofcourse the other altcoins will not more remain stable in the market , it is because the value of the altcoins depends upon the market of the bitcoin .
Suppose it happened , then I will not out my all money bn in any single altcoin , I will buy. more then 4-5 altcoins like ETH  dash monero & BTU( wait for this soon will spread in the market) and also other altcoins that will became famous at that time , Because with the down in the market of the bitcoin , it may be possible the market of the other particular altcoin may fall .
So to put money in multiple altcoins is more better then for the particular choice .

If this happens and continue using the crypto concepts, then I will choose the type of coin which is not much value with bitcoin can even exceed high prices above bitcoin.
For this type of coin is what I can not mention the type of the coin, which would still prefer the type of coins you can add income better.

ETH maybe

Because once the #1 is down, the #2 will tookover and be the main i guess

But its hard for btc to dies , too much fork of it

The thing is, while Bitcoin could sputter and lose it’s value (imagine 1BTC being 0.3$ again), it would be very hard for Bitcoin to totally die being decentralized and all.

Ethereum.  And probably some LTC as well...

That altcoin will no longer being good if you create another bitcoin . Why because if bitcoin is already dead so whoever believe in your altcoin ? It is much better if you create one be it unique to others .
We dont know what can actually happen on bitcoins in future.

If bitcoin dies I will keep supporting SONM project which will be bigger than Ethereum, hopefully, plans get achieved as planned. Want to take a look? here is the main thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1881191.0

I already moved from BTC to ETH and altcoins. I believe that BTC is going to implode

I never thought that if Bitcoin dies, maybe everyone will ponder to see their Bitcoin, but I think it's impossible, because Bitcoin has a lot of big investors who always play in the Bitcoin trading market, so it will not happen Bitcoin will die.

If it is true bitcoin die, then coin that I choose is Ethereum because Ethereum have stable rate like Bitcoin

LTC because it's an actually cryptocurrency and not pretending to be anything other than a type of money.

The first question I ask is:
1) What would be the most likely cause of Bitcoin's death?
The next question I ask is:
2) Which coin(s) (note I say coins not tokens) have a solution to (1) above?

I have been looking at question 1 above since 2011, when I first got involved with BItcoin, and I have come to the conclusion that the fixed 1 MB blocksize limit, and Bitcoin's inability to scale on the main chain is in fact the answer to question 1. Attacks on fungibility come in my opinion second. Furthermore second tier solutions such as the lighting network require scaling of the main chain in order to function, so while they do have very valid uses there are not a solution to the inability of the main chain to scale. At the heart of the problem lies the 21,000,000 XBT limit in Bitcoin, since this requires the eventual replacement of block rewards with fees to secure the proof of work. The trouble with this is: How does one make fees to rise? The answer becomes restricting the blocksize to create transaction scarcity. It is this that lies at the heart of Bitcoin's core opposition to increasing the blocksize. They are genuinely concerned about the long term security of Bitcoin and want to force the "fee market" while there is still enough block reward left to secure Bitcoin.

There is currently one coin among the top 10 in marketcap that has a solution to question 1 above, That is of course Monero. The reason is that Monero has both an adaptive blocksize limit and a minimum permanent emission of 0.6 XMR per block. The permanent emission ensures that Monero does not have to rely on a "fee market" in the future to secure the coin and fees can then be used to control the growth, via a market, of the blocksize by forcing the total amount of fees per block to compete with the emission. The net effect of this is that the total amount of fees per block becomes proportional to the emission so it becomes clear that fees can never replace the emission over the long term.

If one takes a look at other tokens one must first eliminate those tokens whose primary purpose in not their use as money. This does not mean that those tokens do not have value in their own right and may be worthy of investment and / or speculation. Examples of this are  Ethereum, Ripple, NEM, Ethereum Classic and Stratis. This leaves Litecoin, Dash, Monero and Bytecoin as tokens that aim to be coins. Litecoin and Dash have fundamentally the same issue as Bitcoin. A fixed maximum number of coins and a fixed blolcksize. In reality all they offer is a "kick the can down the road" solution. Bytecoin is more interesting. It has the same adaptive blocksize limit as Monero but a finite number of coins. This is aggravated by a very fast emission curve and a pre - mine / ninja mine of over 80% of the max number of coins. The net result of this is a block reward that is already below Monero's permanent block reward and falling fast. I believe that it is simply a matter of time before Bytecoin is taken down by a 51% attack. It could also fall to one of the many attacks that Shelby Moore III has described under one of his many usernames in this forum.  I know many in the Monero community see Bytecoin as the scam in the pre / ninja mine. I rather see Bytecoin as the canary in the coal mine, when one considers solutions such Bitcoin Unlimited. This air is getting more foul every 2 minutes and it is only a matter of time before the canary dies.

So what is left is Monero which also has the solution of a robust answer to the fungibility attacks on Bitcoin.

Edit: The Monero minimum emission is below 1% year inflation. This places it below the long term inflation rate of gold. For comparison it corresponds approximately to Bitcoin having a minimum emission of 3 XBT per block.

I prefer doge because of its low value making transaction fee cheaper than the others and doge still last long despite the low value, eth and ripple because it's just below bitcoin and is likely to compete with bitcoin in coinmarketcap

I would go for for ETH or RDD.
ETH because is the second by value. RDD is kind of interesting because of the annual % that is Staked. So it acts like a bank in some sort and you have the coins in you. So if RDD have bigger value - demand I will go for it.
But if BTC dies this mean that most people will switch to other Altcoin with high demand in my opinion so the prices will go up fast. Or a lot of people will get mad and leave everything that go to the trash all the money and time.
My opinion ETH or RDD :P.

Obviously , i prefer with litecoin and eth. There is some reason why I choose those alternatives coin. Fisrt, litecoin is first alternatives coin that it's trusted enough, Many people put invest into that coin. Second, ethereum has many communities users which make ethereum get stronger than other alternatives coin. The price of ethereum keep going to the moon time by time, also it's has potentially growing in the future.

If Bitcoin dies, I'll choose a ripple to invest in this case, but I'm not sure if Bitcoin will die because Bitcoin is the first digital currency in crypto in a certain area, so it's not possible to die with what's been said in this thread .

Yes, it will be good if the transaction is less but the supply of Doge is huge you have to consider this also. Because it cannot the same price like bitcoin because of high supply. I hope ETH is the best option because right there are many smart contracts being created by Ethereum.

if bitcoin ever dies I think I would go with ETH or LTC,
but I doubt that bitcoin would never dies cause there are tons of investors out there.

Honestly, I have no idea what to choose,  maybe I will wait and observe what coin the majority people invested in, but for now if I would like to choose  ETH since it is most valuable coin besides the BTC.

There's a lot of places to invest, such as currency, commodities, and bond. Many ways to make profit but risk is always there. Everyone has their answer because they have plan with good calculation. We can follow success people or create new business, do something great. Like or not that's reality, don't stop trying or you'll be hanging. Good luck.

If bitcoin dies ETH will be the most stable alternative but an alt that is going places is definitely Aragon. Actually I've already put a lot of money and thought to Aragon even before bitcoin dies. I found a good strategy is to put money in relatively stable currencies like bitcoin and ether, then put the rest in currencies that are going to moon such as Aragon.

ETH for sure, even now I'm thinking to invest more in ETH.
Stable, reliable and perspective.. plenty of ICOs are besed on it

Many said that ETH can replace bitcoin soon because BTC are slow and needs high fee compared to ETH. I bought recently ETH and I'm happy that I already gain some profit.

It will never die, just the brand as value. The mystery around its creation, who created it, etc. You had to be crazy to make that bet.

And ETH is going to the top 1 spot anyway, it doesn't need anyone dying :)

If bitcoin dies, which I dont' believe it will, all altcoins will die with it. The only way to kill bitcoin right now is for the governments to shut down the entire Internet.

I think I should go to Litecoins and Ether maybe this 2 Altcoins have a chance to replace bitcoins.

LOL @ litecoin. The developer said years back. Litecoin don't needs development :)

Eth has a chance although i Think some of the top 20 coins may also have a go for the number 1 position.

If bitcoin dies, I would definitely go for ethereum classic which has a huge potential. But rather than put all my money in one altcoin, diversing them into different ones is always better!

litecoin now has a full time developer, the guy who proposed the uasf in the first place. they'll also get all the segwit stuff that's being developed for bitcoin first. rootstock are talking about it too. cool stuff will happen.

I would definitely prefer Litecoin and Ethereum Classic.
These 2 are only options to really replace bitcoin.

Actually DOGE has a very important saving grace. A fixed emission. So it would be possible add an adaptive blocksize limit similar to the one in Monero while keeping the coin secure.

There are some altcoins that I think I would go for in case bitcoin dies. First of all ETH is leading as the best cryptocurreny after bitcoin then it is Litecoin, ripple and maybe ICN (it has potential).

There are also some other altcoins but for the moment I don't see any high potential besides those that I mentioned above but the crypto world is full of surprises.

Thank you...

Some value tokens based on etherum smart contracts and doge,if btc will die doge will skyrocket,doge has great community and is so easy

Technically ethereum itself is not marketed as a replacement for payments...

Aha, potcoin all the way.

In all seriousness, one that has a solid developer team, and a bright future. I.e probably not PotCoin but etc/ethereum based currency.

But in my point of view bitcoin is not easy to collapse by other alternatives coin, because bitcoin is first cryptocurrency with biggest users. Majority of cryptocurrency users put their trust into bitcoin. That's right ethereum has high price and good future but i think it still too hard to replace bitcoin.

Ripple there I will occupy in the long run.

what's his twitter account? I think I need to follow him... :P

if bitcoin die? ithink ill go in ethereum..

Yeah me too, I choose ethereum as subtitutions of bitcoin because as you can see the price of ethereum in the market were raised up too. However, a lot of people were open says bad thing against ethereum because they cannot expect that their price in the market were straightly growing up.

Bitcoin won't die without collateral damage, this could be colossal. I'm not sure ETH or any other present alt will be safe when something like this occurs. We could be witness of corporate takeover, and we can forget for decentralization like never been happen. Death is one what scares me, dividing of BTC will make more damage and big money can help this happen..

Not necessarily. Bitcoin dying does not mean altcoins will die as well. There are altcoin that have fresh codes, different approach than what bitcoin did. One might even have solutions to bitcoins problem. Those coins may survive. Like nem have different target customers than bitcoin have.

There is no doubt, I will always choose Expanse.
Because It will surely have a successful future.

even if bitcoin will die or not i will also invest in other altcoin for profit porpuses so if one them exceed btc then its fine on me.

Yeah, that's my thoughts aswell. Tho, I'm thinking of starting to obtain some Ethereum aswell as btc, in minor amounts but still trying to gather up as much as  I can, because Ethereum has really gotten my interest in the past months or so.

If BTC dies, I would buy DASH and its little Brother PIVX.. and some ETH too

If this such thing will really happen i will fully buy with all my money on cryptocurrency to eth if eth would be still alive in that times,also litecoin maybe an option too if ethereum will be gone too

i choose ethereum too because i see that ethereum project is good and now the price is increase more. dash will be an option too because dash giving another chance for us to see the profit. but i am not agree that bitcoin is going to died because bitcoin have many support from the big whales and i think they will not let this happen and they still give the support for bitcoin itself but every cryptocurrency have possibility to died and not just bitcoin but for bitcoin, many of us don't want this is happen.

I think the one to replace Bitcoin is going to be Etherium. Other coins are also good, but it is just the second highest in marketcap. I would go for Etherium, unless i would need anonimity. Then maybe Monero.

If BTC dies, altcoin would worth nothing because that's just an alternative and you can't expect much from them. I doubt altcoin will exist if bitcoin dies.
But who knows maybe altcoin still alive yet Bitcoin still no.1 on cryptocurrency.

Alts seem nothing but something which could be bubbled up hard once a group of some monopolistic people needs money, and will burst the bubble upon those innocent traders who don't even know what they are getting trapped for. Still if the question remains same, I would say that I won't believe in anything else because if bitcoins could die, why not these alts can?

From early start of ETH i listening stories about how ETH is going to replace Bitcoin, which is absurd to me, and if happen anyway it will come from an decentralized, people's platform, which will be so good, ground will shake from it.
We are far from this moment Bitcoin is still king and won't  go without blood.

Definitely it will be Litecoin (LTC) to replace bitcoin. It is essentially an improved version of BTC.

Is it conceivable that there could be a high enough volume of small-fee transactions that restricting the block size to raise fees would be unnecessary?

If Bitcoin died we go for fiat not altcoins. :o

XtraBYtes solves the major issues with Bitcoin, unlimited scaling, 100% security, no chance of a 51% attack, no POW, no POS either.
