Do you think that will appear new altcoins can challenge Bitcoin ?

possible.... sure but it's not going to happen overnight and most likely not at all as i understand the bitcoin team is working hard to overcome the slow and shitty network, once those issues are fixed its going to be even harder for other coins to compete.

I don't think anyone really can challenge bitcoin because all alts have functions/platforms.

I think we should be focusing on upcoming industries that will be huge in crypto such as securities. Polymath is building a platform for launching security token projects. They are essentially shifting the stock market onto the blockchain. https://polymath.network/

everythink is possible, but i think that is will be happen with long term
you can monitoring Bitcoin Cash for now to compare with BTC (for example)

If you meant about the scalability challange and majority of altcoins were better then the bitcoin on its scalability but for the actual use and mass adoption looks bitcoin will not replaceable.
Even ethereum as the second largest crypto at this moment can't challange the bitcoin on the mass adoption.

Bitcoin is very hard to challenge but it’s not impossible. The crypto market still needs strong alt coins to fix some main problems. We need to wait and see.

I may be being very skeptical, but I believe 98.9%, that not there will be a coin that will challenge Bitcoin, there may be coins that will complement the history of digital currency such as Ethereum, Bitcoin is unique, what comes next is complement, remembering that is my opinion.

In fact at this precise moment multiple altcoins are emerging that are challenging the supremacy of bitcoin, for which the dominance of bitcoin has fallen from 90% a few months ago to 42% today, which clearly means that the market is looking for alternatives to solve the multiple limitations that bitcoin has. We must remember that the market of cryptos is very new and innovative altcoins are still to come that will undoubtedly surpass by far the current coins, leaving the bitcoin helpless to face the new challenges.

This is inevitable. Bitcoin has a too much outdated tech and problems of scalability and eco-compatibility and it is destined to be replaced by some other coin. We still ignore which one, though.

i think it will Challenge Bitcoin.It is in the Range of Low Investments :P

Today we see many serious crypto currencies besides Bitcoin. But no currency could overcome Bitcoin. BTC has the popularity, capitalization and infrastructure which are developed and maintained millions of people.

all can happen, we just wait for the right time for it. and there will definitely be a good coin that can be a bitcoin challenger in cryptocurreny. because at this time a lot of coins that have a high price

it is possible on market cap and growth percentage, but not quite on price and reputation. since bitcoin has a small supply and it is the first cryptocurrency
an example is ripple, which now in the second pace of market cap, it is possible for it to exceed bitcoin's market cap in 2018, but not price / unit, since there is a huge supple with the coin.

Yes there are new projects that can challenge bitcoin's foundation like artificial intelligence and internet of things.

Definitely, with time the altcoins will surpass Bitcoin. Bitcoin has the advantage of being the first on the market, but its targeted application to products and services is limited. It's hard to see the crypto-economy reversing itself, while the fall of one currency is not only believable, but as with all things - inevitable. It may take a long time, however, so an investment in Bitcoin is still a very plausible strategy!

On their own? No. But collectively yes i do believe they can. We have ROI rise through ICO's for altcoins. I think as more and more interesting companies are starting their ICO's from ranging brands such as Cryptobnb and STK (where you can actually uses their tokens for things you would need in day to day life) then the profits of having many altcoins could surpass having BTC.

Bitcoin dominance rate (BDR) is much lower than 45%. Mostly it's because of bitcoin cash with $40B cap. I think that there will appear many other alts in 2018 which reduce BDR even lower.

Highly doubt any crypto will take BTC's place.

It's the entry point to market and the biggest trading pair.

BTC

The whole fact that Bitcoin is the top trading pair next to USD and the other currencies/coins means a lot. There is no coin that is large as Bitcoin for now.

The most valuable invention was the blockchain and not the bitcoin.
Bitcoin was the pioneer in the world of cryptocurrency and show the way to the rest of the coins.
I am sure that in the future, we are going to see many alternative coins using different algorithms and offering more anonymity than this one. Bitcoin is already challenged today due to high fees which makes impossible to buy just a cup of coffee.
The rest alts have much lower fees than Bitcoin which makes more convenient to use them.

most definitely

Yes, they are already many, who have fast transactions,low commission,but bitcoin will still be number one

In as much as Bitcoin is famous and great, there is still a huge possibility of it been chanced by other Altcoin. Bitcoin is where it is today because of what it has to offer, if any altcoin can offer more benefit than Bitcoin, then it can challenge Bitcoin, after all they are all indirectly independent of themselves. And I bet it will happen soon, because the transaction fee of Bitcoin its becoming something to worry about.

No , at least in the nearest future, I don't think that will appear new altcoins which can challenge Bitcoin. We hve already some promising and solid altcoins like Ethereum and Litecoin, but Bitcoin still number one in the crypto currencies world and expected to stay in this position for long time.

BTC is a brand and nothing more. I think that BTC did it most important role in crypto evolution. Today new coins are coming. They have better technology, more private, faster with less transaction fees. It is a matter of time when other superior crypto will win the crypto battle and become first leader.

Many have came and many have left, but the big daddy remains cool and calm.
$BTC is and will be the king.  8)

Bitcoin is a pioneer, he shouldn't have competitors ;)

Altcoins is still altcoins and bitcoin is still the king of the cryptocurrencies as of now but as many stated above, even it is small. There is still a chance for the new altcoins to stand out like bitcoin and be the next bitcoin in the market but i think it will take a lot of years because bitcoin is too far and the gap between altcoin and bitcoin is too big so it is not that easy for altcoins to replace bitcoin.

There are some coins that are seven better than bitcoin with low transaction fee and speed but what they lack is adoption which is what bitcoin is enjoying as the pioneer in cryptocurrency

No, it's not that easy to challenge the king, even the one that already exist for a long time still can't compete with BTC, a new coin won't stand a chance because the coin will need a huge support and need big company or country to back up the coin, so nothing come in an instant, need time to climb up and compete with the best

If bitcoin price would probably continue to decrease while an alt coin will appreciate as much as bitcoin does it will be possible but as far as the history is concern no alt has ever reach bitcoin position considering also the fact that it is the king of all crypto currencies. If ever an alt will have to challenge bitcoin I think it will need a hard times proving that it is much appreciated and stable enough for the increasing demand of future

There is a possibilty that one day there is an altcoin that will challenge bitcoin , but that will happen in the near future. For now there is no altcoin that could break what bitcoin has today. There are many altcoins in the exchange markets that have been pumping in their designated value but none of them reaches the half of bitcoins value. Bitcoin will always be the king of all digital currency,

There is possibilities that altcoin can challenge bitcoin but it takes a long time and need a stable and high demand in the market to surpass bitcoin,because bitcoin is the pioneer of all the crypto currency that's why bitcoin has a high popularity and high demand in the market,there is many potential altcoins in the market that it's price pumping day by day and has a low transaction fees but altcoins need a big support with bitcoin because altcoin cannot easy to replace bitcoin.

Definitely that is something that can not be completely discarded,almost everything is possible and that is one of them,just look at the large number of altcoins that appear very frequently,in one of those and it can happen that it's just as disruptive as BTC is,but I do not think it happened too soon,those things take some time and it's not something that happens overnight,for example,some of those that now exist seem very advanced in terms of what these intend and their development.

and also even though how good this may project will be i think that also that this may not be the threat on bitcoin if there should be the another altcoin fro to be made of even ethereum that a lot of people think that can challenge bitcoin but at the end it may not been ever challenge bitcoin how about for the new one.

Holders of bitcoin will not let that things happen not unless if the technology of new altcoins can meet all the standards of investors. First they need to overcome giant altcoins and it really takes time. Better to focus on those coins that is their already.

Yes in some ways like eth and xrb because their wallet are base on simplicity,but the best way to think here is even some altcoins will similar to bitcoin in the future i'm btc value will still here in crypto because it's already good in many ways like transaction and even the price so if ever some altcoins will similar to btc like eth and ripple now still they can similar but they already have value.

it will be very difficult, although many newly emerging coins with such high strength will require a process and take a lot of time. because we know that bitcoin is already trusted by many people. I can only say that candidates who have a greater chance to challenge bitcoin are just BCH and ETH.

Bitcoin is a brand though Bitcoin was one of the very first successful coins that made digital payments popular. Many have tried and failed though Bitcoin stayed the successful coin and a lot of coins are using part of its source code.
