Bitcoin Forum

Other Alternative cryptocurrencies are being launched day in day out. Would these Altcoins be widely accepted as Bitcoins?

i think its can, because few altcoin already accepted same as bitcoin,,
for example dash, eth and ltc already widely accepted

If matchup with bitcoin is what you said , i don't think that any altcoins can matchup what bitcoin has achieve now. There are many alternative cryptocurrencies that are being launches and introduce in the crypto world but no altcoins can matchup the bitcoin. They can be accepted like neo , ltc , omg, dash , bch , eth as coins. But the achievement of bitcoin , they are far ahead to match it up.

I think that the only coin which can  match up to bitcoin is Ethereum or ltc because both of them are accepting in payment in some sites, and I heard that ETH will hit 1000$ very soon.

There are so many altcoin hve been accepted in crytpo trading but the value not like bitcoin.
And also some fail project om ico mean its not accepted.
So some of them are accepted and some not.

I think they are already match up with BTC. Ethereum is #1 altcoin. And it runs as much payments as all the other coins altogether (including BTC). So it is obvious that it is a matter of time when ETH will surpass BTC.

Well,  eth is now being recognized even in Bloomberg, with it's growth rate way exceeding bitcoin's growth rate at the same stage.  But then again, btc is the grandmother of eth, so to speak. Eth still has a long way to go,  but definitely has potential.

I think we are going to see the big change in this game. What does it mean? I think BTC was the first one coin but it has a lot of holes. There are 6000 new coins created and most of them are dead. But those who will survive in this battle would have an opportunity to replace BTC in the future.

If we talk about match i think thats not specific question. What match? Price?
If the price that you mean, the only coin can be a little match with bitcoin is etherium.

No, we are not going to have a world were every merchant accepts 800 different coins that is ridiculous we need to have a currency that is accepted by most merchants, and maybe some coins that are accepted by some, that is why bitcoin is going to be the main crypto, but some other coins like LTC and ETH are going to be accepted by a good number of businesses as well.

The answer is probably no. For now, all altcoins are still far below than Bitcoin in terms of trust and solid community of followers and investors. Not even the combination of all altcoins can match the over-all achievements of Bitcoin. They are all growing though as with Bitcoin. But they are there in the first place because of Bitcoin itself. There is no point challenging the one and only source of them all. They cannot beat Bitcoin.

   What this means actually? Is this English forum or not? Did anyone voted, for what?
   Alt-coins are alt-coins, some of them will follow bitcoin rise and rise along in a distance
but non of them will come near to bitcoin in next years.
   Bitcoin rise started years ago! Nothing happen in a day, bitcoin is building this
community for years, and before any alt-coin can match bitcoin should have at least the
same community as bitcoin have, and when will that happen?

Recently no altcoin can match with bitcoin price since bitcoin is the strongerst one so far.
Maybe in future there is new coin will have big supporter and can be bitcoin competitor.

Yes, some altcoin do it well as proven that is decentralized not under control by a small group then it will wide adoption.
Such as Litecoin and Ethereum doing it great!

Some altcoins will be part of the future and will grow along with bitcoin, but it's not like they will be getting an 8k valuation like btc as well.

i think there are not capable or lets just say no coin has ever achieve what bitcoin has already achieve lets just say that ethereum can but how long would it take if the bitcoin is continuously innovating itself i think it chances are slim to none

Bitcoin is too slow, so it won't take much time, believe me.

For me, i dont think that the altcoins can match up to bitcoins, because ever since before bitcoin is always be the best cryptocurrency and the altcoins will always be at the second of the best, but for me eventhough altcoins can match up against bitcoin i will totally sure that altcoins can improve very well just like bitcoin before.

No altcoin can ever match up to bitcoin, all the altcoins are dependent on bitcoin.

Ofcourse it can reach the price of bitcoin if they have good support from the investors but bitcoin already got recognition from all over the world so its price keeps reaching new high everyday but no other altcoin is popular upto the level of bitcoin but nowadays ethereum also making huge price bump because many ICO projects are started based on the ethereum so it will increase the demand for ethereum also the price of it.But ethereum availability is more than the bitcoin availability so it will be difficult for ethereum to reach the price of bitcoin.

If an altcoin reach the price of bitcoin it will be only the ethereum and no other altcoin can match the price of bitcoin.

Just wait for few years maybe Ethereum can ,if not there are other good coins available like xrp,iota,xlm, time can only tell if an alt can take the throne.

As good as any Altcoin that exists today will remain different from Bitcoin. Bitcoin has a much higher rate than other digital currencies. I feel that Altcoin is a companion digital currency and Bitcoin is the main digital currency in the world today.

The huge price difference has shown that Bitcoin is everything right now. There will be no Altcoin that can match the level of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is not going to be this slow forever the greatest step to change that has already happened in this year which is one of the reasons of why bitcoin has gone up in value so much in the last months, and when bitcoin is finally able to process hundreds of thousands of transactions for a cheap fee, people are not going to need any other coin other than bitcoin.

Some of them almost match Bitcoin. Today most of guys that deal with crypto choose Ethereum. However, I would better stake at Litecoin. This stunning cryptocurrency will be widely used in future. IMHO.

Of course some Altcoins can match up to Bitcoin, each of the valid Alts have intrinsic values, and if they have solid plans for diversification, they can of course be on par with Bitcoin. There are many scams  in the Cryptoworld, but also some good people who are trying to further digital coins and the real values they can add to us, and the world in whole.

I don't think any other altcoins have got the potential to match up the growth of Bitcoin. Ethereum has got a good potential to grow, as ICOs using Ethereum platform. Another altcoin which has a very good support in its community is Litecoin.

For now, I don't think any altcoin in the market even the best of them can match bitcoin, both in value and in marketability. Many see bitcoin now as the best emerging cryptocurrency as it commands a very high price point these days. However, we should not forget that bitcoin took a long road before reaching this remarkable feat, thus it can also be possible for altcoins to experience the same.

With so many altcoins appearing..it is quite possible but with the rise of bitcoins altcoins needs to run fast...

We all know that none of the altcoin are no match with Bitcoin. Even how much good  program they have to their project or roadmap it wouldn't take a reason to defeat bitcoin. Besides, how can altcoins match up or defeat the creator or the reason why they created? isn't right?

They could eventually but not any time soon.

the answer may be appropriate, but for some altcoins just like Ethereum or LTC, because the coin has become a medium of exchange that can compete with BTC

Well, only a unit of all coins can get such recognition as a bitcoin and maybe it will be only one Ethereum

Bitcoin has been making a lot of people rich! But so have Ethereum or Neo. It is good to have a bitcoin but it is very much in the public focus and discussion, also the political discussion. I feel very safe with Ethereum, as most of what is happening is related to Ethereum (ETH based token ICO or projects like Raiden or Gonetwork). The space is too interesting to exclusively bet on Bitcoin I think. Everyone sees currency as the killer application in blockchain but there is a lot more see use cases with really unpredictable upside like factom, wabi, eventchain, powerledger or wabi.

I would definitely not ignore the possibilities in Altcoin space. BTC has been on a massive bull run this year. Only bitconnect which I feel looks to good to be true and recently Raiden were able to outperform BTC. That being said I would expect Ethereum to catch up on BTC.

I have to say I do not understand anything from the survey options.  :-[ I think some of the altcoins technology is definitely better than Bitcoin. Especially Etheruem is also very good on this issue.

+++, I read, read and can not understand why this poll was created, maybe someone will explain?

Physically it's possible. But everything depends on the market now. If the cryptocurrency community decides to make some crypto popular, then it's gonna become widely spread. But in real, I doubt that any cpypto would get to or take over Bitcoin.

Actually many altcoins are widely accepted in the world, such as litecoin, ethereum and even bitcoincash or ripple, as many people prefer to use altcoins to carry out fast and cheap transactions, something that is quite difficult to achieve through bitcoin.

However, most altcoins are much less popular than bitcoin because they are relatively newer. If the bitcoin is making great efforts to make itself known internationally, the other altcoins are still much less known, so it is difficult for them to displace the bitcoin in terms of its universal acceptance.

Ethereum is the only coin that is close to bitcoin right now and even ethereum is very far away, even if ethereum is settling more transactions that is because of icos, so it is like having 100 coins all together against bitcoin at the same time and even all of that is still not enough since the average person probably has never heard of Ethereum but he has heard about bitcoin a few times.

None of the altcoins can match up with Bitcoin. Maybe they copy the meaning of bitcoin but in terms of value it would be hard for the ICO owner to surpass the value it has it now.

The reason those coins do not receive as big as interest is because the cases in which they can be used are limited, while some people criticize bitcoin as only a currency the fact that bitcoin is so simple means that its applications are infinite, you need money for almost anything in this planet, even in some of the most remote places of earth they have primitive forms of money, that is why most altcoins cannot get close to bitcoin.

I think many altcoins have better technology and potential than bitcoin.  The problem is that bitcoin is most recognized world-wide, so it's hard to compete.

Because now BTC has been accepted by the masses. So all the encrypted currencies, including altcoins, should be accepted in the future.

After seeing the activity of ethereum I think it is going to stand like bitcoin but still I have doubts because not much companies are using it as their money while bitcoin is widely used as a currency on a wide scale of companies.

Nowadays, altcoins has no match over bitcoin. Bitcoin is the most dominant and demand crypto currency all throughout the world. Though, altcoins still be profitable which used as alternative coins from different bounties. Also, some altcoins will be fall due to the lack of support but most of the altcoins will rise and give good value as good as profitable value.

If you mean match by price then yes there already 4 altcoins that cost over double what Bitcoin does.

Maybe those bitcoin imitations from forks can but alos any other altcoin can still do that because we are still on an early stage so if it prove its worth or used by large companies then yes can match btc.

The community embracing bitcoin together with altcoins. But asking if there is any altcoins would be equal to bitcoin? definitely nothing. The reason is that, the community figured it out that bitcoin is much better that any altcoins for investment. And in terms of returns, bitcoin is absolutely very far from them.

bitcoin has the network effect. no other coins can match up to that.
but other coins may grow at a faster rate than bitcoin. that is where you could get higher return than just holding bitcoin.

I think it can but it will take time for sure. BTC is such a big and stable coin to catch up for now but I can see altcoins catch up with it.

While BTC has the network and the infrastructure for example miners and nodes as well as services and have the support of a large part of the community we must consider very difficult that altcoins can match up to BTC.

Bitcoin is the mother of all cryptocurrency which means that nobody can replace it. Many altcoins are emerging and growing stronger but still they will depend in bitcoin. Many speculations that sooner or later bitcoin will be replaced by altcoin but I think that's not going to happen.

Actually altcoins is accepted by all cryptocurrency users here. People keep using altcoin for trading and investing too same like bitcoin. If we talking about the price, the answer is no. The altcoin price is never match up to bitcoin price, I mean the price is so far high even bitcoin cash price only 10% from the bitcoin price.

Seen altcoin since 2009 I think it's already match with bitcoin. Maybe suitable in terms of competing but not at a price. See the development of some current altcoins, such as ethereal or ltc. The public has been very receptive to them even though there are still some altcoin that is not believed by the public.

Why would any altcoins be considered bitcoins?

They will forever be branded as altcoins. Even the closest thing to dethroning bitcoin right now, ETH, is still extremely far away from ever claiming that #1, prestigious spot. I think the main thing is that people have trust in bitcoin and see that it is the most well known and most well established cryptocurrency, and they are unlikely to invest in anything but bitcoin for the long run.

Alts can obviously fill the gap for particular niches that need decentralization, but BTC should still be #1.

No it cannot beat the bitcoin in terms of achievement but when it comes to the price there are some altcoin that can defeat bitcoin in short time only like ethereum but still nobody can defeat bitcoin as pf now but maybe in tha future it will raise even more further and lets hope that

In my opinion. They cannot match up with bitcoin or they cannot catch up with bitcoin but they could be on the place where bitcoin have been. I mean is the altcoin can have the same value of bitcoin but of course if they did bitcoin would have higher value than them.

i believe and hope for the day bitcoin will be catch up by altcoins, bitcoin is too high now, so i have no choice but choose another altcoins to invest, also bitcoin has many disadvantages now that i think it should be replaced in the future.

Only big boys like ethereum, ltc, and bcc has potential to go really up on price, rest are just participants.

ETHEREUM..CAN MATCH UP TO BITCOINS.

what i can think of,Ethereum might match up with bitcoin since its stability is already proven in the crypto market and its price also increase day in and day out so maybe this coming year we will see a better ethereum than this past few years.

Well I think  for me that the altcoins can match up to bitcoins because ever since  before bitcoin is always be the best crypto currency no altcoin can match with bitcoin price because bitcoin is the  strongest one so far.that I think

I am also think in the same way, it is very difficult to match up to bitcoin. Bitcoin price is way high when compared to the altcoins, it is quite difficult for altcoins to emulate bitcoin. Only a positive hope is in Ethereum that could be the one coin can come close to bitcoin, but lot of time required for that.

Of course it isn't easy for altcoin to follow bitcoin either because of its popularity or current prices soaring, but it's all possible in crypto and of course we hope Ethereum can keep up with bitcoin in the future, and I'm sure Ethereum has a chance to follow with bitcoin .

I haven't tried paying in ETH or any other altcoins on my purchase so I can't really tell if these altcoins could match up with BTC. Probably there were some merchants who accepts this that I don't know yet. Bitcoin is starting to make its name in my country and some stores are accepting them already. I think if Bitcoin will be widely accepted then other altcoins will surely follow.

yes, I don't think that there is any altcoin can match up to bitcoin because they need to follow bitcoin as the leader. but every altcoin has the opportunity to increase their price especially if bitcoin price is down. if somehow bitcoin is down too deep, then I think all altcoins will be fallen too and we don't know what will happen with cryptocurrency and maybe there will new ones that will replace cryptocurrency.

Depend on that particular altcoin's purpose, to match up the mass adaption that bitcoin is already reaching soon would be hardly possible when there are so many competitors nowadays, but some of them already achieved that status with their own core competencies like Dash - lighting transaction, ETH - powerful blockchain network, Monero - super privacy, my indicator for these matched crypto is just based on how most cryptocurrency merchant would like to accept those as payment. As for the rest of 1000+ coins, most of them serves as their own niche economy token and wouldn't get as much users and bitcoin even at max cap.

It depends on the purpose of the coin and the market size. The size of the market is very important.

What is the volume of the transactions in that market ? Because the altcoin will be used in those transactions.
This article from Chris Burniske explains this: https://medium.com/@cburniske/cryptoasset-valuations-ac83479ffca7

For instance, did you know that APPC (https://appcoins.io) is backed by an App Store as popular as Ethereum ?

   https://trends.google.pt/trends/explore?q=ethereum,aptoide

And this is just an example.

Its a YES for me. No one knows what will happen on altcoins when time passed by like what happen to bitcoin now.

No. It will be difficult for Altcoins to approach Bitcoin. Because Can be seen the difference between the two things. And what is the meaning of voting voting that you make?
>Asiamah Serbeh-Koranteng
>Nana Kwadwo
I don't understand both.😂

That's probably a no. They might never reach the level of BTC.

Nowadays looking at BTC price and other altcoins cost it's hard to say that for example Ethereum which is #2 in the cryptocurrency world will cost $15 000 next year. But in 2-3 years this can happen. But how much will BTC cost at the same time?  ;)

If you said other altcoins can match up to Bitcoins, I think it's almost impossible for now one. Because all altcoins now pairs with Bitcoin and one altcoin will catch up is Ethererum according to me. Ethereum is a backbone for other coins (token based on ethereum). Many ICO now based on Ethereum. But, someday who will never know if there will be altcoins match up to Bitcoin. Thanks

Yeah maybe Altcoins can do match up with bitcoins but it will count years before it will happen. Currently bitcoin holds the position as the prime crypto in the blockchain. It is not impossible that maybe two or three more years if altcoin continue to improve then maybe it will match up with bitcoin.

For now there are no altcoin can match up in bitcoin, bitcoin already prove lots of thing also value of bitcoin is too far for the value of the altcoin and altcoin value are depending in the bitcoin value.
I think there are some altcoin follow bitcoin but not surpass bitcoin in the top of crypto currency world, bitcoin will remain as mother of all coin.

Technologically, both are digital currencies.
however, I think altcoin will not be able to match up with bitcoin for now. especially in terms of price, bitcoin will still dominate the market price of all coins and also the presence of altcoin is an innovation of the existence of bitcoin

i think that may never happen happen because bitcoin is a genuine coin and its supply is 25M all it needs a very strong coin
with inovative idea to math up bitcoin

this is not going to happen as bitcoin was ever first created crypto currency and every ico want you to invest in their ico with bitcoin so there is huge demand for this coin moreover btc is the favorite currency of investors so this factor also lead to the excess demand of bticoin and if there is high demand and low supply then the price of bitcoin will increase as compared to any other altcoin

I don't think it happens for new coins that are launching in these days because main reason behind this is that the owner of new coin launcher are only to make own profit in bulk amount and whatever the loss happen with investors who invested Thier money in coin .
And another factor that is the technology they use are not identical to bitcoin technology , they are just making only coin and only using them to show that they have coin and making profit for short time , so here we can understand that what type of things happening in the current time with the help of new new Coins launch .
So no chance for new coins to take place of bitcoin or even comes at equal level of bitcoin use scale .

Indeed, altcoins is just an alternative option for people so they can diversify their portfolio well but never to match up bitcoin. Cryptocurrency is our future and bitcoin leads them all, but owning altcoins is an ideal thing for people who really want to increase their resources.

I think Bitcoin will remain as the strongest crypto for a long time, like atleast 5+ years. If it remains seen by the majority as a store of value, then it might lose ground to more advanced blockchains after that time, but even then i think it'll be hard for any 'flippening' to happen.

I think cryptocurrency is our future and altcoin is an ideal thing of people and they want to increase there resources.

Most def other Alts can and will match up to Bitcoin. It might be KING but tech always evolve and there is a lot of people studying the blockchain day and night Trying to come up with better coins and tech. Will take sometime but time is all they need.

Yeah sure why not but if by match up you mean in price then i will say no because if you look at it now even ETH is at 500 and that the second most popular used coin.....Generally they will catch up but not with price in my own view

Yes, that's possible. But not all Alt coins have the potential to match the bitcoin. As I am overseeing the value movement of alt coins, I see Ethereum, BTC Gold, BTC Cash, and LTC with a stable market value. When investors move to those alt coins, it's definitely a bit like Bitcoin.

I think the altcoins that will have success will rule their specific markets.
For instance, APPC (https://appcoins.io) is an open protocol for app stores. So it will be used widely inside app stores as it already have 200 million users from the first app store that adopt it.
Like AppCoins / APPC, there are other currencies for specific markets.
In the end, probably Bitcoin is for store of value, Ethereum will be only info-structure and the altcoins like APPC will be used daily.

I think altcoins cannot match up with Bitcoins because they're only depending on it. But it grow like bitcoin but not as big.

As long as there is blockchain technology, there will always be projects springing up! Many project's long term prospect is what may be questionable! One thing we must be very clear about is the fact that if a project does not offer or improve on any service or product, such project may not last!
ALGORY is set to change the cryptocurreny trading with it's powerful trade scan that will completely put you at vintage position in your trading! It's ICO is ongoing!

It can with a slight chance but who knows in the future something might even match or surpass bitcoin but it's no assure of. Everything is possible tho, with all this different cryptocurrencies that are being launched or created nowadays, one of them might be the current future. But on today's theory, bitcoin is unstoppable.

Those are different coins so they are different, bitcoin is also a coin like other coin.

Bitcoin is the heighest coin and the altcoin is only from word alt, means alternative cryptocurrency.

Altcoin is based from bitcoin that has a goal to become a new bitcoin or to spread the knowledge about coin.

Altcoin is the child of bitcoin because altcoin was born because of bitcoin.

I think that because Altcoins can also increase the price and bitcoin is just the highest of them and people usually use bitcoin so many users here and lots of use bitcoin so they choose bitcoin but as you configure it with other Altcoins, there is also the chance to overtake the bitcoin altcoins.

i think that there are no altcoin that can beat bitcoin in terms of its achieve but when it comes to price there is a coin that can defeat bitcoin but you should know that it is only for short term and that is ethereum

Can altcoins match up the BTC? Hell no way. Theres no way altcoins can overtake the price of BTC. As you can see altcoin price's depends on BTC price so how come that altcoin can overtake the BTC? And besides altcoin is just made because BTC has limits. But I think BTC is the most superior among them all coz it is really the one that matters most. We can see tha BTC is rising today. And that too has either negative and positive effect on our altcoins depending on what coin we have. But on the other hand BTC rising is good for all of us. BUT NO ALTCOIN CAN OVERTAKE THE BTC. Good luck!

I also agree with you if emang if bitcoin crypto is the most powerful and most flattering to preserve gan because its price ang getting nice and most expensive

In my opinion, till now no altcoin have value to match up bitcoin but it can happen in future as ethereum is now number 2 coin after bitcoin and have power to challenge btc in future.

Bitcoin was the first crypto currency launched and it's like the father of the crypto world and no alt coin can ever match up with Bitcoin, not even ethereum.

I think matching perfectly with bitcoin is not possible. But to compete with bitcoin is certain, because now many types of cryptocurrency with varying prices. Even so, bitcoin remains the topmost in all cryptocurrencies.

I honestly have no idea what those names mean or what they are.

They seem like 2 peoples names.

Maybe im behind on some information.   ???

At the moment i dont think so because the margin between the altcoins and Bitcoin is wide.

yes that's possible if there would be an altcoin which developers and marketting team good enough to convince people about its futire better than bitcoin then one day it could even replace or surpassed what btc had reach.

For many years no altcoins can surpass the value of bitcoin. So I dont think altcoins could matchup to bitcoin also these days are so many altcoins. And I cant see any atleast a certain altcoins to surpass btc.

I dont think alternative coins can match up to bitcoin,it like compairing a mother to a child.Alts are made because of bitcoin,due to its value,popularity and the trust given by investors,companies and etc
the alts are born,trying to catch up bitcoin that until now none of them succeed,although Etherium coin got the eye of others but its not compairable than bitcoin specially it price.Alt coins are alt coins it can never be bitcoin.

maybe that can happen because altcoint very much used and altcoint can be equivalent to bitcoin with its progress

At first as a newbie I really thought that no coin would ever be able to match up with the presitge and popularity of bitcoin as a currency. But after seeing the unstablility of bitcoin and raging transaction fees and time. I would say it will be very easy for other currencies to outshine bitcoin. I wont say they can beat it in terms of price. But it would surely surpass the market cap created by bitcoin.

Bitcoin coin is unmatchable to any other coin, it is the most trusted coin in the  cryptocurrency world. The only coin that comes close to bitcoin is ethereum.

No one can reach what bitcoin' s position now even ethereum is trying hard to beat the position of bitcoin. Bitcoin has a large lead as a store of value over every altcoin in having existed 8 years without failure. The security of Bitcoin has been proven far more than its much younger counterparts with usage by almost every metric exceeding that of altcoins.Bitcoin is far more liquid, with much larger volumes than every altcoin. Bitcoin has the largest developer ecosystem with more software and more implementations than any altcoin.

I doubt that is possible, due to supply and demand of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is doing really well as regards this. And its value is quite high right now. It's going to be difficult for any Altcoin to reach that kind of value. But theoretically some Altcoins can.

they could, but with bitcoin futures starting, i don't think they will. unless they enter futures market as well

Absolutely yes. Soon bitcoin bubble may explode and you'll see. Likely ETH will be higher.

altcoins that try to compete with bitcoin are many but only able to reach a quarter of the price of bitcoin.
Why is that? because the rest of the world knows only bitcoin and wants to raise the price continuously regardless of altcoin.

if the altcoin price has passed the bitcoin may be acceptable but until now I think not yet

We cannot tell if altcoins could match up to bitcoin but if that will happen, it would take a long long way to go since bitcoin has already gone far and already established a strong community trust. Maybe if a certain altcoin could also build a strong community trust and overcome enough challenges it could be possible but it would really take years and maybe on that year Bitcoin will become stronger too.Possible but too little probability.

I very much doubt that any alcoin can achieve such heights as bitcoins. Bitcoin was the first crypto currency in the world and I think that it will remain the first. Altkoins (some) will be able to beat beatcoin only from a technical point of view. In this regard, bitcoin is not perfect.

Technically it is possible if some coin have more demand than bitcoin but practically it looks impossible because bitcoin is the safe and secure of all coins and it also the first ever crypto launched so people having trust on bitcoin and it is popular all over the world than other cryptos but some of the altcoins also have good potential it price also will be expensive in future.
Some crypto currency also offers the same qualities of bitcoin but it needs more time to get recognition from people.

Yes if these altcoin can reach the demand like bitcoin does have, but unfortunately none of all altcoin can be demanding as bitcoin in the market, but many altcoins are widely accepted and secondary to bitcoin, and it is a good investment also, like etherium and other popular coins in the market.

Yes, it can, especially now that the cryptocurrencies become more papular. Bitcoin is not perfect and other altcoins are trying to develop a new functional way that can effectively use in the market compared to bitcoin. Some developer of altcoin is figuring out what is the limit of bitcoin, and that kind of thinking will going produce a new altcoin that can match up with bitcoin and maybe someday that new altcoin will replace bitcoin.

Match up to accompany investment in bitcoin.
Altcoins has certainly well accepted such as bitcoin, as it includes crypto coins that have their own benefits/profits that can be provide many opportunities for trading/investing profits.
Some altcoins may be drowned, but of course all altcoins.. surely some are would be showing the best side and would be able to compete with bitcoin price movements.

When it happens (not if) it will come as a complete surprise to everyone when it does (myself included probably), the way I see it is now that blockchain technology is being introduced into the mainstream of finance - BTC and the little association that banded together years ago to promote and protect it (at a price to join) will lose control of the blockchain guidance that it wielded like a new weapon in the world, altcoins and the shotgun approach to answering the worlds financial problems will outrun BTC as long as young developers challenge the status quo and think outside of the box and continue to keep moving in a decentralized fashion that enables users to reach beyond borders that others in power have put in place to promote their own wealth.
My short answer is yes=altcoins will match Bitcoin and pass it, do your research.

Not really fast though, but many of them are rising through the ranks already. Alt coins as eth, xrp and some others are being seriously in circulation. Time will tell.

Very few Altcoins can have a good price in the market but no-one will be as good as Bitcoin. Moreover, Bitcoin for being the first to go it the first to get so much interesting of the people. Also, the media are now very interested in Bitcoin such as RT

This is not possible now but it can happen in future as ethereum is now gaining value and it can challenge bitcoin. In marketcap, it can beat bitcoin anytime in a big up move but in value, no altcoin can match bitcoin.

Right now, there is no sign that any altcoins would match up to Bitcoin. But some altcoins have a good prospect like Neo, Ethereum, Waves, Litecoin and Iota. Who knows one of these may catch up sooner or later.

They can be but it will take years to take place of bitcoins. Most of the people around the world are in crypto market only because of bitcoins. There are many altcoins which can take place of bitcoin in future but at this time I don't think any altcoins can be compared with bitcoins.

The supporters of bitcoincash like Roger Ver and Jihan Wu is making a lot as in huge efforts to do that so it's the only coin that I see that can match bitcoin if ever they succeed.

Yes it is possible but it will take more time for altcoins to reach bitcoins value and it was nearly impossible because the growth of bitcoins is massive while the number one altcoin which is ethereum is very slow to grow its value.

If we talk about the value of Bitcoin and lightcoin, then I think that in the price category Bitcoin takes a leading position to date and will occupy the future too.

I really don't think that any alt coins can reach and match as widely as bitcoin is. As per value, it is comparable higher than any other coins. Time may be a factor, however, as that comes, btc will be a higher still. ;D

Right now it was very impossible for altcoins to reach the value of bitcoins. With the statistics in the market, It might take a lot of years for altcoins to reach the value of bitcoins so we altcoins is just alternative if you do not have enough capital to invest in bitcoins.

I doubt that there is any altcoin or token that can replace the bitcoin. At least not for the next 5-10 years. Bitcoin brings legitimacy to crypto currencies as a whole, especially since most people don't even know that other crypto currencies existed. Moreover, Bitcoin has been around for a long time and has proof that it can withstand through hard times and has a history of constant rise.

for the time being I do not see potentially possible altcoin like bitcoin maybe for next year there can rival the popularity of bitcoin.

I do not think that there are those who alcony in popularity might surpass bitcoin. Recently, the founders of dash have said that wrestle with bitcoin but it is a little hard to believe. I assume that BTC will be more expensive 50 thousand in 2018. And that someone beat him it will be incredible

Many altcoins has been introduced in the market since then to be known like bitcoin but many did not succeed but there are some altcoins that are still existing and increasing its value. But I think there is no altcoin that can match up to bitcoin. Bitcoin has gone so far and altcoins will be having a hard time before they can reach what bitcoin has reached.

There are many cryptocoins in this crypto world but Bitcoin is the most successful cryptocurrency coin till now.
Altcoin is so successful but that couldn’t match up to Bitcoin till now. We need that crypto which will accept by the most people of whole world and Bitcoin is the most successful and will not be change it places very soon.

but nevertheless, each coin altcoin can be fixed for a certain amount of goods or be responsible for some functions or services by any represented team and company. Therefore, I believe that Bitcoin is very different from altcoin and in some cases its price is unreasonable.

It might. History tells us that usually, the first great invention in one field is not the last one to stand. Bitcoin has many problems, and it's possible another coin will fix the problem and climb to the top.

if you are looking on long term perspective i believe in my opinion and as my point of view
there will be some coin that can match up or surpass the Bitcoin in a long futures ahead because
sooner or later on if it comes on mainstream ( i mean many uses it and running on the world ) they will eventually needed to look for good system better than the bitcoin, in terms of processing etc. many altcoin surpass the bitcoin on that , and for me that will be the key factor of somewhere in future some altcoin might able to surpass the Bitcoin on Future one candidate i see is ETH and LTC.

Right Right away bitcoin’s showcase capital may be $295,581,425,408 Furthermore following expensive coin As far as showcase money will be Ethereum with market money from claiming $63,666,945,895. The Contrast is $231,914,479,508 thus those showcase money if a chance to be equivalent to more than bitcoin Furthermore at the moment, i don’t see At whatever elective in the advertise.

I think it's very difficult to remember that altcoin movements are heavily dependent on Bitcoin. when Bitcoin rises altcoin prices down then from that I think altcoin will never be able to compete with Bitcoin

YES and that's only if BITCOIN is not around anymore. There are lots of potential altcoins on queue to greatness and one it is ETH. A very promising altcoin that has a very great potential to be the successor of BITCOIN but since BITCOIN seems to be immortal that no other digital currency can match or surpass BITCOIN's feat.

I would say Ethereum growth is more than Bitcoin in recent days, but Bitcoin value is increased above the market expectation. To be specific, there's no altcoins matches with Bitcoin for another 5 to 10 years in value.

Depend, will it have some innovation that will be the trend in the future?

Are you really sure on what you're talking about? Well, anyways if thats your point of view I respect.

Actually, as of this moment it's really impossible to surpass bitcoin and if you ask me when to surpass the value of bitcoin, well I don't think so if it will happen because even the ETH or LTC can't  reach easily bitcoin how much more on altcoins. Regarding on altcoins it doesn't mean that I underestimate altcoins because as of now I have altcoins some of it I hold because it really helps me a lot though I need to be patience and monitoring its value because I believed altcoins still good, not just for my own point of view but for all of us because it is profitable. Nevertheless, bitcoins and altcoins are important for all of us.

the answer is purely no. no altcoin can match up with bitcoin not even ETH. bitcoin has been widely used more than any other coin created. it acceptability has make bitcoin more and more successful than any altcoin. daily millions of transaction are made using bitcoin. many people believe the increase success bitcoin is making is as a result of its age (being the oldest coin) and also current media news have bring success to the coin. bitcoin investors are increasing daily.

Maybe in the future,coin that are being launched today are 3rd generation coins they have more improvement than the BTC,maybe someday but i bet its not ethereum the network issues they had will kill a lot of investments.I doubt theres no altcoin can replace bitcoin today,but there are upcoming alts that has big potentials to compete with bitcoin.

I think there is no altcoins that can ever match up with bitcoin.let's as say for instance the popularity of bitcoin and its value is so high

People who is involved in online business are well known about some crypto and alts like bitcoin and ethereum. There are many types of altcoins in this world and ethereum is the most successful of these altcoins but if we think about all coins in this world then we have to put bitcoin at very first place.
Bitcoin is the most successful crypto by the choice of people till now from the beginning because it gives more benefit and facilities than any other alts. Ethereum is also a very good coin but people don’t match it with bitcoin till now but it will give more facilities at future but bitcoin will go ahead at that time too. So it is very difficult to match ethereum with bitcoin and if it occurs that time is far away from now.

I think it can but I believe it will really take a long and winding process from innovations to investments. Altcoins need to invest more on features and at the same time gain the trust of their user and other user. Bitcoin maybe the greatest of them all but I think given the set of new altcoins with more value than bitcoin later on it can surpass bitcoin. We just dont know what altcoin will it be.

No way lol if you believe in that then don't be sad when you can't even trade it on a exchange like yobit ::).
I'm not saying all alts end up being shit but out of the 50 or whatever amount of alts released every month only 2-3 will have a decent future rest all are created to profit from raising funds through ico or by pre mining.
Check the status of forks itself only bch actually benefited btc.

Regardless of the fact that BTC is THE initial coin, I strongly endorse the belief that Altcoins can match up to Bitcoins one day - this is due to the fact that some of them's preeminence has risen to the extent that investing in them can provide traders with higher benefits. Also, I'd say that ICO's are another valuable method for raising funds, however, you need to be cautious when doing this, as there are a lot of scams.
In terms of both altcoins and ICO's, I'm currently in the possession of:
BTC, ETH, LTC, Ripple, Monero, Cointed, and BlockV (I recently sold this one).

no one altcoins can match up with bitcoin the value of it is so bigger, maybe ethereum but it will take many years

If we think about their numbers %99 of them can not even get close to touching bitcoin but we have to admit now there are some good alt coins with their market cap getting closer to bitcoin each day. This is a good thing for markets. Diversity is a good thing.

It will not be an easy ride for any altcoins to match it up to Btc . But the difference between Btc and next coin would reduce for sure considering the various issues faced by people in Btc . So altcoins May rise for sure in coming time .

I dont think so. Bitcoin's value is much higher than altcoins and bitcoin is more popular from the people

Definitely no altcoin can match up to bitcoin. Since from the start of the crypto currency no altcoin can match up to bitcoin because it has a huge gap from its value even the other know crypto currency can't reach the value of bitcoin. As the time goes by bitcoin become more dominant as its value grows constantly as many investors want to gain profit on bitcoin. I would say in terms of value altcoins has no match on bitcoin but eventually some altcoin has a great potential which will rely on their advocacy and features that can be demand in the society.

This is one of the reason why every other cryptocurrency coins/tokens are regarded as an alternative cryptocurrency. However, I think if it will ever happen, it will
be ethereum and apart from ethereum, no other altcoin designed for global acceptability than these two (2) phenomenal.

Yes there will be a time for some altcoins to fly as high as bitcoin but for now let us wait for bitcoin to reach its peak and be stable because when that limit is reached that is the time when altcoins would have an opportunity to be tried by investors and users. But as long as bitcoin is patronized by many people and is used as a means of investment, bitcoin's value will not stop going up.

I agree, bitcoin is the dominat currency that no one in the crypto currency world will reached the breaking history value of bitcoin. I would say that bitcoin has a high chance  to increase the value as bitcoin network is a peer to peer payment network which can be transferred from all over the world without a third party involvement like any sector of the government or banking sytem. As the system of bitcoin was established altcoin has never been chance to match up over to bitcoin. Though, altcoins still important it is profitable also but not as high value compare to bitcoin.
