Which ico do you think can rival bitcoin?

ICOs can't rival bitcoins because 95% of them are erc20 tokens and are basically just random useless coins telling you you own part of a business. They aren't actually a new invention or a better bitcoin, they're a token on a different type of cryptocurrency altogether.

If by rival you mean how much provide you will earn, maybe you should get your priorities straight first.

if I analyze then there is currently no ICO that can compete with bitcoin. bitcoin is the main digital currency that has a very high power. even ICOs with good prospects can not necessarily rival the value that bitcoin can produce. it may take a very long time to develop a project / altcoin that can match the bitcoin value. for me now bitcoin has become the best and yet there are other things that can be bitcoin competitors.

This guy is saying link might be really good

Most ICO's are built on tokens which cant actually compete with bitcoin. If you should have asked about existing coins, then some of them has a great potential to beat bitcoin maybe in the future, but for now, bitcoin is the mother of all coins...

Well if its any close i guess ETH and BCC will be next coin that are close to the 2nd highest and far from other altcoins. Bitcoin really does not have competition in terms of price but there are altcoins that has good platform and blocks that are in the market. Price is the only thing that holds btc up high but some altcoins can help other applications and people could utilize them in there own ways not like btc that is used mostly for investing.

Have you tried looking into the moneypot ICO?

first go educate yourself and then come back.
learn what bitcoin is and what it does. what a currency is supposed to do and how many merchants have adopted bitcoin.

then look at any ICO you like and see what they really offer and what they really do in the real world.
i think you will get your answer here pretty clearly. you don't even have to spend much time or have any experience any 6 year old can help you see the difference too.

as for being good investment, there are many options. they get hyped up and manipulated so they get pumped a lot. so it becomes pretty profitable to invest in some of these. and this has nothing to do with being a bitcoin rival or even being useful. they can be the most useless thing in the whole world and still be profitable.

but one thing is for sure: when they say they are bitcoin rival you should stay away because they are using the biggest lie of all times. ;)

Due to popularity and active develompments and improvements I think no startup will kick ass to Bitcoin.

About trendy stuff - due to latest things going on I personally think that Platforms and Decentralize
focused stuff will do the best.

That's impossible, no ICO can rival bitcoin, and I think that you don't know what exactly bitcoin mean , I suggest to you to do your research about the world of bitcoin

It is an ICO so it will just be a starting coin. It cannot be compared with a coin that is already established. You will have to compare it with another ICO token to find out who is the better one. Most of them are under ETH so you will look for both ERC20 just so you will have the right comparison.

You think that can really happen? Forget about the ICO, just think about the most similar altcoin to bitcoin which is ether, which is like moon of bitcoin but it has never invaded the market of bitcoin and it can't do it simply. The ICO is like stars from the far galaxy they are far far away from the earth (bitcoin) and it's almost impossible to compete thus market. ICO projects are just used as way of getting quick money by many people and merchants will take the benefits of fund raiser. That's the whole purpose of ICO and it can't do much more than that.

One answer and one word, nothing

Firstly, the ICOs are not trying to be Bitcoin rival.
Secondly, we can’t compare Bitcoin with Altcoin. Each coin has their own usage purpose.

So, I will say no, no ICO is Bitcoin rival.

None, because no token including ethereum is already created to rival bitcoin. And I think there are no coins that can rival bitcoin in the market now because people trust bitcoin itself instead of a living being.

How do you expect an ICO to challenge bitcoin? Bitcoin in my opinion is altogether in a different league. Even Etherium i do not think will surpass the prices of bitcoin. Bitcoin is value of storage and money both. And all other alts are mostly based on Etherium network. In few years or months most of the top 100 coins at coinmarketcap will not even exist.

Right now there isn't any altcoin that can possibly beat Bitcoin. We might see one is future. But at present Bitcoin is dominating the crypto market with almost half of the market cap. It has first mover advantage and one of the first coin people invest in when they step in cryptocurrencies. I don't see any other coin taking that position in near future.

What is your risk tolerance? Are you looking for large but purely speculative gains or do you prefer something way less risky with smaller returns?

 there is nothing better him BTC.

I believe all of us should owe at least 1 bitcoin. Is proved to be the most reliable investment in our cryptoworld

Isn`t it obvious! That bitcoin is the seed or mother of some coins, although there are some other altcoins that almost equal, while the ICO is still far or hasn`t been able to surpass the bitcoin.
You have to be careful with the news that ICO will compete with Bitcoin, I`m worried about many people being affected and entering into the abyss of lies, be careful with the revolutions made by some bitcoin competitors.

Bitoin Cash is the only current thing out there that could unseat BTC. Shit would have to get real weird here for that to happen...

Yeah I think it would be too much to say that which ICO would match/rival let alone replace bitcoin. even the most successful ICOs such as etherum have not been able to match the bitcoin. really what do you say that bitcoin is the mother of all cryptocurrency. maybe we can only hope ICO can follow the good thing from bitcoin

I don't think bitcoin is going to be thrown off the throne for a while, it is the big coin of them all, currently once bitcoin devalues almost every other coin follows and once it pumps almost every other coin does, as the first coin almost everything is measured in value is compared to bitcoin.

Absolutely everyone here expressing their opinion on this issue stated that no ICO can compare with bitcoin and I also agree with this opinion. ICO does not create a coin of a global character, but mainly for its application in certain sectors of the economy, so they can not compete with bitcoin.

If you're looking for a good investment.  Just search around this forum in the announcements and do your own research on the project.  Don't worry if the project is a rival to Bitcoin or not.  Just remember that Bitcoin will always be KING. 

Agreed.  Most are not competitors to Bitcoin.

There are some projects (5% from your estimate) that are using the ERC20 tokens as an intermediary place-holder, until they build their new blockchain and new coin.  At that point, they will be allocating the new coin to the ERC20 token holders on a pro-rate basis.

most of the ICO's are built on token that cannot go against bitcoins but if you asked about the currently existing coins but for now there are no existing token that can compete against it but maybe in the future there will be born a new coin that can actually compete wtih bitcoin because bitcoin the ranking one on the coins of all

Lol, I don't even know what you just wrote.  The mechanics of crypto completely escape me--but I believe you.  From what little I do know, most shitcoins are clones, or at least wannabees to bitcoin's empire.

Do I think something could come along and take bitcoin's place.  Yes.  Is there anything now that could do it?  Maybe.  But it's pretty obvious that people's attitudes would have to shift dramatically, because right now when people think of crypto, it's bitcoin almost exclusively.  When the media mentions anything about crypto, it's bitcoin.  I've seen ETH mentioned, and that's kind of the one I'm thinking of as a true contender.

None of these smaller shitcoins stand a chance, and I mean the pansy-ass ones that trade for a few satoshis on Yobit.  The ones with no buy orders.  The ones that most noobs on bitcointalk keep trying to hype up.

I don't think that any of the upcoming projects will be able to compete with Bitcoin but many can become successful. It depends upon the uniqueness of the ICO. I think LAToken can be a successful project.

Simple answer is none
95% of ICOs are bullshit and will fail miserably in the near future. Just check the prices of ICO and the real prices when they hit the market you will definately understand how ICOs are overrated. And the remaining 5% aren't meant to overtake Bitcoin. Infact the rise of Bitcoin's price lead to increase price of other altcoins. Bitcoin is the King and rest just follows them.

I think it's better if you invest to ethereum,
it is ethereum again rising the price, we'll see

If to explain it honestly if I have not found the type because there is rarely a ico like that so the presence of bitcoin is still one of the main factors in the affairs occupy the top position from year to year.perhaps the most prominent thing at the moment is the ethereum.

If you are looking for an investment that will takeoff like Bitcoin well you are looking for a needle in a haystack. Because no one can rival Bitcoin the closest are ethereum bitcoin cash and litecoin. But Bitcoin is way ahead on the three coins. If you are looking for new coins there are a few coins that can potentially double or triple your money then treat it as a stock and try to research about the company. I have a few coins sitting on my wallet but im also invested on electroneum.

most of the ico and altcoins promise to replace bitcoin and at the end fall back ward any time bitcoin rear.  The problems why we may not having bitcoin rival is because how decentralized it is. Bitcoin is decentralized and most of the altcoins are centralize. I can tell you now that the ico that will replace bitcoin is yet to be introduced to the market.  That project has to be unique and the coins in circulation minimum.

Nothing can rival bitcoin. Bitcoin is like your Titan of crypto. Nobody can replace it or change it.

There is no ico rival to bitcoin even all the Ico depend on bitcoin because most of funds collecting using bitcoin and ether even 90% world knows about bitcoin only few people even in crypto world knows about other coins.

ICOs can not rival bitcoin. But they can give you good profits. For example Kyber Network with Vitalyk Buterin as advisor makes x5 on the first trading day.

I think the best investments are into bitcoin and etherium. These both have proven themselves and have been around for a long time unlike all those ICO's that pop out every other week and promise to make millionaires overnight

I am so much agreed on you sir, even how much good to their unique services offered they have but still when it comes to the price value bitcoin prevails among all the altcoins in cryptocurrency.

A good investment is in something that solves a problem, eliminates costs or saves time.

Many projects are trying to put anything and everything onto the blockchain.  Most are searching for a problem to solve.

Cryptos are good for some applications, but not all.  It's good for:

*  transferring value (currency)
*  storing value  (Bitcoin competing against gold)
*  eliminating fees  (remittances such as Western Union, gambling fees)
*  saving time  (remittances, payments, multi-day wire transfers and withdrawals from gambling sites)
*  prevention of confiscation or theft  (don't store your money in banks or centralized places)

If the benefit of putting something on a blockchain is not clearly evident, then don't invest.

as new coins comes with the offers to public audience with the delivery of goods and service as the returns with the developer works on compromising arrange as the use of different subjects of completion,
in the future the new coins or token has with the customs as the appearance to helps with the customs to work of those as new medium on transaction and more as the chance to work on holding as the longer terms possession with the investment to gives of nominal returns of profit for investors.

I firmly believe one should do his own research before investing, conflict of interest makes people shill out even when they know they are on the wrong side.

so far no ico is a bitcoin rival. bitcoin is the main role of all coin all need bitcoin they can live without coin ico but not with bitcoin. fore may have been rivals that have been designed like erc20 but it has not been seen as a heavy opponent on bitcoin

You have a very relevant point.

But,

5 years ago, did you see Bitcoin being what it is today? There are ICOs out there that plan on changing the world (like us) and the potential for success increases day by day. Along with success, comes returns. If you knew an ICO would grow like Bitcoin did, you would invest no questions asked and there are ICOs out there that have the potential to surpass Bitcoin.

A lot of people really do wonder about that, as a matter of fact, i have seen a good number of questions like yours both here in this forum and other forums I’ve been in. Even in social media sites. And my answer is always no. No altcoin will ever replace bitcoin. That’s just for me though, because i trust bitcoin more than any other coins out there in terms of survival. Because it clearly has gone through a lot all throughout it’s history and always came out of any adversity like a boss(which it really is) and turned out even better than it was. Plus I love the history behind the coin. And i respect it so much as much as i respect satoshi. Although i may invest in some promising ICOs, bitcoin will still be on top for me.

There is no ICO which can take over bitcoin in future as bitcoin is the strongest and powerful currency and no altcoin or ICO can replace bitcoin or be an threat to it and if you want sure shot profits on your investments then you should go for investing only in bitcoins.

Waves is a good longterm hold! And Ethereum is also going to moon in the next time!

I agree with you here! Bitcoin cant be compared as rival in history with Icos or other altcoins, or other crypto space projects. But Icos or other good altcoins or new blockchains based projects can be very profitable / good investment options, even if they arent opponents or be compared with Btc.

There are some good Altcoins but none of them can compete with bitcoin.

It's not realistic to think that any ICO will rival bitcoin anytime soon, but there are some good ones coming up that I think will be around for a while.

Check out dragonchain and kyber. Both of these look really cool.

About "Good investment" subject I recomand to analize few vital signs about the posible  good investments in crypto-currency projects.
- people that is in back of the project need to be tehnical and bussines prepared to do what they claim to do with their idea of the project.
- project need to have practicaly value not just to offer you a promise to be rich tomorow if you join in their Icos or to promot tham.
- project need to have community oriented control of their coins, not devs have more percents of the supply.

There is no ico currently that can rival the king(Bitcoin). I doubt any ico can ever rival the king since bitcoin is a phenomenal coin that cannot be compared with any other crypto coin.

The enigma project is the long-term vision of a team mostly comprising of MIT graduates to build an open data marketplace for all types of data. Currently, it is well backed by floodgate, flyBridge capital partners, converge, heroic ventures and digital currency group.

i don't think it's whether a coin will replace btc but more of what will co-exist with btc long term.
