What are your thoughts?  Tezos?

Nothing is a bitcoin killer. BTC is so huge and controls the entire crypto market. It even has mainstream name recognition, which nothing else in crypto has. Possibly in the future something will supplant it, but this seems extremely unlikely at the moment.

Every fucking coin thinks it's the Bitcoin killer. Otherwise, why would anyone clone BTCs code, then reduce blocktime and say "look, faster transactions!"?

Everybody claiming to have the Bitcoin killer misses the point.

Not to mention the fact, that we should keep a diversified cryptocurrency enviroment for as long as possible.

Can we put an end to this "Bitcoin Killer" threads???

unfortunately i don't think so

my thoughts are that its not gonna kill btc

what is that ?
Bitcoin will never being killed by any alts,
even ethereum that completely great platform with many features inside will never kill bitcoin,
and tezos is the new baby alt,

as soon as i read "BITCOIN KILLER"..i dont take as serious this post anymore..
so another shitcoin!
by the way.. i hate BTC.. EVERLASTING GLORY TO ALTCOINS!

Bitcoin can not kill any coin. The market is dominating 60% of the time.

As of the moment there is no coins with potential to be bitcoin killer. I also dont think that tezos and other cryptocurrencies to surpass bitcoin ATM. The coin with the greatest potential as of the moment to go on par with bitcoin are those in the top 10 coins. Still, their chance of going on par with it is very low. Bitcoin gold and other forks have no chance in beating the original btc either. Still, the chance of having a bitcoin killer altcoin existing in the future is not that low.

Great point to make. It's literally useless to have x100 faster transactions, or ability to include x100 more transactions in a block if the coin has x1000 times less usage than Bitcoin. The point here is not how quick or cheap it can be, but how it can encourage people to use it by enabling easy access and payments. Bitcoin has its problems but these are good problems. And it is scaling more and more to fit in increased usage and demand. Kill Bitcoin? No way.

Well, I must admit that switching between blockchain is not a bad idea. However, "bitcoin killer" is a very dangerous term. Anyone know their official website?

I also don't believe in a Bitcoin killer. I also have problems understanding "switching blockchains". How would this work in practice? What would be the trigger to switch? How would it effect balances (in tokens and in value). Are the mechanics writtens somewhere?

I think a good analogy is housing. Living in a city is objetively paradoxical: you have less space, which you pay more for, while you could have a huge house with garden in a rural area.

The question at hand is not why people put up with that, because the answer doesn't solve the problem. The question is, how can you make living in a big city easier and more affordable for those who want to live there?

Bitcoin is a big city and "living space" on the blockchain is limited and expensive. Why do people put up with it? It doesn't matter (My guess is network effect, mostly). What does matter is how to use the space at hand more efficiently.

What "Bitcoin Killers" try to do is build a whole new city and claim it's better, because it has better infrastructure, more space and so on.

History has told us, that often times, planned cities don't work. I claim the same is true for cryptocurrencies. At some point, the group dynamic makes it hard to abandon a city/blockchain and faults/problems are not solved by building a whole new city and moving over, but by finding workarounds.

It may be a BIZcoin (B2X) killer, but not a Bitcoin killer.

Anything can happen. It may be in the future.
If not, some coin will still replace bitcoin position.

This question makes me laugh.
1. A thread started with a question asked without any links, opinions from the OP or info to propose and therefor have a discussion about.
2. "a bitcoin killer" sigh, seriously? again with this. Bitcoin has more "killers" over the years....... yet the only thing that gets killed is the "killer" itself.
3. no.

Seems like 2x is a non-starter so this is their new plan to undermine core?

don't think so, if it is been this easy, bitcoin would have been long gone. MTN has a different purpose. Bitcoin as the first coin will always value by the traders.

If only I had a Satoshi for every bitcoin killer thread that pops up...

so what is Metronome and why would it be?

Did you work for MySpace before?

any thread for metronome?

Basically its innovative characteristic is that the coin can switch between blockchains

The concept itself of a Bitcoinkiller is quite silly, other than in hindsight should it ever happen. However, in there a dedicated thread to Metronome?

You should change the name of this thread. There is no bitcoin killer. However, metronome definitely sounds interesting, it may be the next big thing, similar to how ethereum was.

Did you see the alt market bottom out a few weeks ago? Where did all that money go? Did you see it pick back up a couple days ago? Where did all that money come from? That's right. Bitcoin. Whatever you're favorite flavor is from week to week. Whatever three letters you want to put together and call it the best ever, it's still Bitcoin's bitch. Nothing more.

It's funny topic, MTN how to Kill Bitcoin ?
BTC still strong in the market, BTC never die.

It looks good. The next ICO for investing.
I'll buy some.

Think it will turn out to be a steady alt if Jeff Garzik is involved

Bitcoin killer? If we are not realistic why not dollar killer? Banks killer?

it is more likely that bitcoin will remain the largest and most significant currency

Same to me. Looking for official ANN thread.

Every time i see a thread about "bitcoin killer" i laugh a bit inside. The only coin that has potential to come close to Bitcoin is Ethereum in my opinion.

Metronome has a good potentials because of the backers but cannot be a bitcoin killer. MTN will of course be one of 'those' altcoins.

Thank you for all the input!  With all these hard forks you think it'll open up room for "the next big coin". I had high hopes for tezos and still do.  It seems like a lot of these 3.0 coins are moving in the direction of bitcoin and etheruem hybirds

Lol mate. There's no such thing as bitcoin killer, maybe there's a lot of projects out there that are better than bitcoin, they least to say they didn't kill bitcoin. Bitcoin has already reached new heights that no other coins could challenge its supremacy. Its been the original and we all know that no one can replace the original. Tezos? Have you heard that they are fighting over the money being raised during the ICO? They are shooting themselves in their foot because on how they behaved seeing like $200m raised, they are all greedy. Although you raised some hype here regarding Metronome. hahahaha.

https://2bitcoins.ru/metronome-innovacionnoe-ico-cherez-aukcion-s-ponizheniem-ceny/

BTC can only destroy itself. BTC nin derivatives also grow btc. Almost 60% of the market is dominated.

someone know the website for this coin and ICO?

I can't find anywhere.

Maybe Segwit2x might be a BTC killer in creating 2 coins and 51% attack possibilities. No-one knows, we will see

Supporting Metronome is like supporting a bunch of garbage that claims to be gold.

Go for it, lose money all you will.

This coin was garbage and OP seems just try to fool other to buy this shit, There is no a lot of information that linked to the project rather than bunch of shill try to shilling for its project.
To we are just waste a lot of our time in here.
This garbage coin must die. There is no people interested to buy this crap,

I don't think the project is out yet. 

After the last ascension, I realized that BTC would not be able to replace a plant.

found website: https://www.metronome.io/

ico soon

I think it could be a new eth

maybe this link will change idea on metronome, for me big project

http://strategiccoin.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/89/2017/11/MTN-Garzik_Interview-StrategicCoin_1.1.pdf

I can not understand all this disappointment .... no one said that killer bitcoin but MTN might be a solution because it takes the good of bitcoin and ethereum and puts them together with the chance to move between blockchain maybe because bitcoin transactions cost too much or overloaded ... the site as simple as the metronome concept

I don't think any coin will replace bitcoin, in fact if a coin manages to improve on bitcoin I don't see why bitcoin wouldn't simply copy it, it would then be able to offer the same but would already have its existing support in the market.

I am SOOOOOOOO sick of "bitcoin killer" threads. No, your crap altcoin is not going to "kill" bitcoin.

Can we just stop with this nonsense already? Pretty please?

We certainly don't intend it to be a "bitcoin killer"...   Metronome requires a blockchain to secure it.

P.S. Posted an announcement thread at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2450739.0

to hard to say that statement. Plus their ICO format seems to be the downside of the project. Hopefully they can change that

The project is very good as an idea. The ability to move all the chains is a very good idea. But ICO is a little different and problematic. The auction is not a very good idea.

Yeah, I was considering this coin, but I am not a fan of the format either. Another one to wait until it hits the exchange.

BTC has POW and all-world known but MTN has nothing behind it :'(

Really ? All i saw was a whitepaper explaining they are going to create a blockchain that connect multiple blockchain, how is that bitcoin killer ? Stop spreading FUD

I read about this Ico, it looks pretty promising and with the road map there everything is in order. But the killer bitcoins is certainly unlikely, but the fact that it is possible to profit from it yes.

Metronome is a new cryptocurrency that was unveiled at the Las Vegas Money 20/20 event in October 2017, and it's backed by Bloq CEO Jeff Garzik, a former core developer of bitcoin. If you want to know more about Metronome, you can visit this self-moderated topic here, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2450739.0

I like this project. we have good quality team and important names. looks like gnosis. there was confusion, but then the price affected the market surprisingly.

Metronome is secured by the underlying blockchain.  Therefore, it has POW (Eth, Eth Classic), DPOS (Qtum) and Bitcoin POW (Rootstock) behind it.

Metronom Token Sale (Auction) has ended. 26,500 ETH (12m$) raised. Last price - 0.00278 MET/ETH (1.27$)

Participation in their sale was quite an interesting experience. Unfortunately, I have bought not as close to final price as I was hoping (my average price is about $2). But still, I am glad that I took my part in it.
As for project future and potential, to tell the truth I haven't decided yet for myself. I don't think it will kill BTC or someone else for that matter. It is quite possible that project will even die by not finding support on the market. But it is true for all projects )

It has sold instantly and i would not be surprised about that. MTN has created by jeff garzik and he is one of core developer bitcoin from 2013 to the 2014 and he can be considered as a famous person in the cryptocurrency right now. i will try to speculate the price of each MTN will above the ico price in the future.

This coin is also not Bitcoin killer, because Bitcoin is too strong and too popular right now and it is still growing and more people are speaking about it. I saw so many threads where people said that there will come a new bitcoin killer and the most of these project's are dead now :D

MET was listed on Bilaxy and Gate exchanges today - what are you expecting for MET's price in near weeks - x2, x3, x5 or more? There was a big hype in the end of auction this night.

Yes, I, to put it mildly, doubt that there is now a coin capable of killing bitcoin. Very promising, such as EOS, ETH and other similar, certainly strong. They created and occupied a niche that does not pull bitcoin. But they will not replace him. Well, it's probably like a magnetic field of the earth, there's almost no sense, but without it it's impossible to exist.

also started trading on the IDEX exchange. I expected that this project would collect more money at the auction and therefore did not consider it for investment. But now I think that I missed a good moment

I have never liked all these auction of ICOs, I have no doudt the team would reaised what they are looking for, but it now depend on the market to put real value on it, if the market continue on this current trend I think we might likely be buying below the ICO price

I do not think that Metronome (MTN) is a killer of a Bitcoin. How many times have such statements already been made and where are these crypto-currencies now located, they are not even 1% closer to the magnitude of bitcoin? Bitcoin is unbeatable, use it.

I joined ICO. I will not sell the markette without entering the top 70 ranking. There is a project ready. It's not listed on a big stock market yet.

I think it is still not possible if there are other coins that can kill Bitcoin because to my knowledge Bitcoin is the first crypto coin and very popular in the world,

I don't think that any altcoin can become a killer for bitcoin. After all, bitcoin is the very first and most popular crypto currency. No project has approached bitcoin in popularity. Bitcoin will remain the leader among the crypto for at least many years.

i dont think so

Not killer because it's just smart-contracts and pump-converter, there is no new technologies or consensus - similar ponzi scheme :'(

Those whales who bought it under $2 during the ICO must be pretty happy right now

great project but not enough to tople the king

whatever be the killer of btc, if there is one, it won't reveal itself with an ico first of all.  second point, it won't have dutch auction to prove itself lol. the advisory team shall not consist of people who predict demise of btc just to pump there own shitty ico. also btc killer has to sound simple, the developers won't be hired, they will start the working engine by themselves also if someone has to be btc killer they won't appoint a CEO to make it more complicated. all in all metronome is very away from being a bitcoin killer. anti-fragility is hard to achieve (which bitcoin has) but once it gets achieved it makes the system very robust.

I thought the OP has created a non sense title to this thread, the bitcoin will always dominating the crypto currency. I know that one of the team in the metronome project is a former of the blockstream team. It looks like that is the real reason how OP was putting its title.

I dont think it can surpass bitcoin price . Well maybe possible haha since tema of it is from bitcoin also metronome has its unique feature where it can transfer to one blockchain to another blockchain which is pretty interesting . I just don't like the auction thing that they did .

Metronome is a very good project. But BTC can not be killed, not even in the middle of the ETH. Maybe after a couple of years in a long boat.

There are many great projects out, but I don't any of them can kill BTC. Metronome still a new project with a solid team, I think you should give it a time to be developed and then assets the project again.

It will be more ideal if you would opt out to sell those tokens when it would have a pump as long you do make profits and then buyback later on. We cant really point out if those tokens will sustain or tank as the days goes by and lots of projects do tend to claim that Bitcoin killer thing but still they do end up neither failed or still below Bitcoin itself based on ranking even ETH didn't able to surpass it out if we do try to see the dominance theres really a big gap.
