as we can see the bitcoin dominance is getting lower and lower and  i think on long term ethereum will end the dominance

I think is the year of Bitcoin Cash ;)

I think bitcoin dominance will be back soon, as the bitcoin price make big moves and value increases the dominancy will also grow but personally i like the fact that both bitcoin and alts are growing together at the moment.

yes I agree mate. the bitcoin diminance will be back soon, this conditions is normal. the price will rise.

I don't believe that, how you became confident to that? Bitcoin already honored by crypto community and everyone resting on its success although there are seasons of dip.

you are correct because your unit of measurement is market cap and ETH has a fake one at that and it may successfully surpass bitcoin market cap one day.

ETH price will fall but not at the same speed as new coins are craeted so for example there will come a day when ETH is worth $10 but it has 1,000,000,000,000 circulating supply most of which is premine, fake and burnt and its market cap will be $10 trillion and that way it successfully surpasses bitcoin.

If we look at bitcoin's dominance throughout the years, we can see that it is decreasing. In May 2013 btc has 94% of marketcap. May 2014 left it with 90.5%. A year later marketcap dominance was 88.5%. During May 2016 bitcoin had 81.8% of the total crypto market capitalization. One year ago its dominance decreased like crazy and went down to 53.6%. The current dominance is 38.5%. I think this info (I calculated it based on the info of historical snapshots made by coinmarketcap.com) makes it obvious that the dominance is only going down. And it's natural, because other projects become stronger.

Not yet dude bitcoin's dominance will be reclaimed you should wait form september to december that is the time where bitcoin will rise again. Do not conclude yet all other cryptos are dependent in bitcoin.

The same scenario like in June 2017 when bitcoin domination was low. Just hold bitcoin and stay strong

I agree with you. It can be either ethereum or possibly some other network, the time will tell. But Bitcoin will always has its value as the first ever cyrptocurrency at all :)

It's normal that the dominance of bitcoin will go down as we were after some series of corrections. Once the bitcoin price will push at the $15k level it could a big margin against the second place Ethereum. I don't think that ethereum can overtake bitcoin for a two years span not unless bitcoin investors will abandon this technology.

     The price of bitcoin is almost $9000 and if this will reach to $10000, we can say that the dominance of bitcoin is still works and the price were increasing up to a comfortable value, so the term end of btc is only a speculation  without basis..

The dominance of bitcoin is reduced due to the appearance of an increasing number of new altcoins and tokens. This is quite a normal process, but bitcoin remains the number 1 coin for capitalization.

I think dominance will steadily rise when bull season starts again. Much new money will (need to) enter crypto, and most will go through BTC first. Also, once BTC starts rising again, most will put their money in there short term.

I hope with more fiat pairs this will at some point not be the case anymore. I also hope that it will not stay a pathetic race between BTC and ETH, since there are so much more great projects on the horizon.

See also chart from previous year, the result is almost its with the chart and percentage you share. I think it's a regular thing that continues from year to year and I'm sure the bitcoin dominance will continue.

Maybe if we want to force the will to end the dominance of bitcoin, it means suicide and market destruction is inevitable.

Big percentage that btc will be dominate by eth in the long term eth win btc big time in terms of technology. We also see some of the ICO projects are specially create to enhance the eth.

yes, I agree. Bitcoin dominance will be back soon. I am sure about that.

may be the dominance of btc will be more quickly ended than already predicted. because we can see, nowadays ethereum is more developed along with the emergence of company companies that issued their own ethhereum based token. which means, ethereum has a wider market, and may be in the future, btc prices will be followed by ethereum. whether it is the ethereum that rises over the btc, or btc which drops its value to the point below the ethereum.

I can’t make any opinion right now. Maybe or maybe not, anything is possible. Time will be say everything, just wait. 

NO.
BTC wont be dethroned in near future by ETH. These 2 coins or completely different.

Nevertheless if the BTC scaling problem will be solved , there will be no BTC dethroning ever.

The whole crypto market i growing and dozens of new ICOs and coins are appearing every day. So it is nothing unusual that bitcoin is losing some of its market share. Nevertheless, Lightning technology has all chance to return some of it back to btc.

I think that this is quite an expected process since the decrease in influence began to be noticeable even at the beginning of this year. I think that by the end of 2018, the Ethereum will take a leading position

This situation has been several times and each time bitcoin returned its domination. I think this time will be the same

I think no. There are a lot of coins that we don’t need. When they will die, BTC dominance will return to bigger ratio. But in nearer future it will decrease because of new ICOs quantity and their market cap.

Any possibilities can be happen,  ethereum has interesting development and now it's getting utilized and famous. But who knows bitcoin will be legendary again.

Btc dominance will remain but gradually decreasing because of new cryptocurrency that emerging in market. But one thing for surebitcoin will remain the king and other altcoin with no use will be vanished.

Not at all, there are a lot of people saying bitcoin will lose its role in the lead but that has yet to happen and bitcoin is still going strong. Bitcoin will lead for a long time

I also think that in 1-2 years ETH will be the top 1 coin.  I advise you to invest in ETH and hold the coin until the end of the year.

anything can happen in the world of crypto, and do not be too quick to determine the bitcoin will be replaced by other altcoin if only seen from dominant btc only, it is now bitcoin dominance continue to decline, but it does not mean bitcoin can not rise again later, because bitcoin has often experienced ups and downs

Given how long bitcoin has been around and it’s historical dominance in the space, I don’t see it going away yet. It is losing dominance, but I think part of that is the fact that there are so many projects now. Literally thousands of projects are taking a small part of the market, which drives down the dominance. People are constantly lookin for the next way to make a lot off of crypto and look towards low market caps. Meanwhile, BTC keeps going strong and should continue to do so.

A small drop in Bitcoin dominance percentage is not enough to warrant the fact that Bitcoin shall remain the leader of the crypto market. Percentages will always keep changing here and there due to the volatility of this market. Bitcoin is closing in at $10k at the moment and will most likely set a new all time high before the end of this year which will help its dominance percentage rise again. Don't focus on such percentages and instead focus on the actual value of the coin. So many people try to undermine Bitcoin whenever they get the chance even after its rapid rise in value over time. Stop spreading unnecessary FUD people.

Could be bitcoin cash or ethereum, but not in the near future. Not yet  ;)

I think it is like that and it will happen but not in the near future, newcomers will definitely see that bitcoin is something phenomenal. but old people will see that bch and eth is a real platform and cryptocurency

Bitcoin share is huge and even when 30% will still be huge. There are so many coins and there will be more and more and more.

Marketcap is bad comparison.  Coins Satoshi mined will never hit any exchange but they are few times more then whole Monero marketcap.   There are many many even more pumped marketcap coins. Like Etehreum. They made ICO and few people grabbed tons of coins cheap. Why would they sell them? They sell drops, they dont need 10 lambos.    And there are even worse cases then Etehreum.


Only few coins are there that marketcap matters. Those are PoW coins with fair launch. Where all coins were mined with high electricity cost or bought on exchanges are fair price.  Monero is one of them.

I don't think it's gonna be Ethereum. To displace Bitcoin, you need a cryptocurrency that will surpass It in everything, which will be used as payment now, as cash or a credit card, which will set not yet voiced higher goals, the team will apply bold decisions and this enthusiasm will be transferred to investors and ordinary people. Now I believe has not appeared on the market such altcoin.

Agreed. It's also meaningless to most investors who have diversified at least a little bit... btc is super dominant or not, doesn't matter so long as btc brings the entire crypto market up.

So long as exchanges use btc as a swap pair with most alts, btc will lead the pack. Of course years from now that may not be the case, but we'll worry about that then.

i think, there will be a cryptocurrency that can be used in everything, every coin/currency has its own potential / and its goal once its created.
and right now we see, nothing can do that. most of the coin is only focus on one goal.

meanwhile, what i can catch from your opinion is you need a crypto with a multigoal which is i think its still impossible created with only a few team/developers.

if a team with a members all CEO of famous coin, XEM,NEO,ETH,XRP,XLM and etc, i think its still possible to do  ;D

I could imagine that bitcoin and eth will change dominance again and again in the future.
Whether that will be good or bad, I do not know. But I think, both coins have the stuff to be no. 1 from time to time.

I think bitcoin will not lose its position and the rest of the coins will only increase their capitulation

Bitcoin should still stay dominant for a long time. I really doubt Ethereum 'ends' the dominance. BTC's market cap dominance has been going lower because of an increasing number of tokens that keep popping up. I feel eventually a lot of these will eventually die out except for the ones that can make themselves stand out.

The BTC dominance is always in a state of flux. I for one cant see BTC's dominance being reversed permanently. We see the dominance go in waves. I think alts have been very quiet over the last few months and the only progress that we saw come from bitcoin however as we have all seen, we are having a mini alt season. This I don't think is new money, Its more likely to be money that has been waiting on the sideline for the last few weeks waiting for any sign of strength to jump back into the alts. We are seeing a pattern of bitcoin jumping and then alts catch up and following btcs recent rise of 30% from the lows, alts again have followed suit so I think people are beginning to clock onto this trend. Long term I don't think btcs dominance is going to drop

Maybe in the end it will turn out that way, but for the time being one can not say so sure about it, because everything can turn in a few seconds and bitcoin will again be in a bad situation, I think that no one can predict this for sure, no matter how he would like.

Market dominance of bitcoin is still top in the market. It has the volume around 45 percentage so far. Please do not worry that some other cryptos has been hold that much market dominance like op expects in future.

If you want to invest your money all the time bitcoin is the right choice. If the dominance and control on other cryptos we cannot able to survive in the crypto currency market mate.

The Bitcoin dominance will gradually diminish but will never end. Altcoins are rising very fast and this is very attractive for investors.

Today, when the market is again green, all investors are again choosing the Altkoins. Why you ask - everything is very simple and logical 200% profit is better than 20%. The dominance of bitcoin is falling again Altas are growing - we are moving to the moon again !!

Nope, bitcoin is the best coin for me, you see that it all back to the normal and btc will back to the top with a huge advantage over the others.

I agree that bitcoin's dominance is lower and lower, but I think there is very little chance that some other coins can take the first place of bitcoin.
cause BTC is till the biggest coin, the most well-known for other people who don't know about this market yet.
but I still hope that happen, cause there will be some crazy things happen after that
^^

bitcoin will be currency number one for a long time, many people have heard only about bitcoin and will invest in it

I don't believe that. BTC is father of crypto, and when he grows, ETH and other alts grow with him, and vice versa. So for me it's impossible to see BTC being beat by ETH or another altcoin.

Yes, very possible that bitcoins dominance will come to an end at some point. This is as a result of the creativity (in terms of projects) of other coins out there. For example ETH's smart contract and it's use as the tender for raising ICOs gives it a characteristics advantage over bitcoin. For bitcoin it's merely only a currency and store of value, and not much else can be used for it.

I think bitcoin dominance will be back soon. It's a normal process if bitcoin is reduced it's lower price because of new altcoins and token that appears. Just wait and see until the price will rise again.no one can tell time will come!!!!

We already see what cryptocurrencies can compete with bitcoin. But meanwhile bitcoin is the undisputed leader of the market. And there are no equals at all. It remains only to wait until altcoins form top 5 list will expand its influence.

Yes most of us aware that BTC dominance is decreasing, but other alt coin dominance still far away from BTC, most of the investors now diversify their investment so BTC dominance is decreasing, Bitcoin still  number one when people want to used as investment, so I don't think eth or any alt will replace BTC soon, eth itself still need improvement

Dominance is dropping as we've seen, compare to months ago we have a time where BTC > 55% dominance but i guess this shall be healthy
There are way too many coins that could perform and have a better use case than Bitcoin, i would consider Bitcoin more of a "Collectible" instead of a "Payment Token"

When I first started collecting crypto in 2012, the Bitcoin dominance was close to 90%. At that time, the altcoins (Litecoin, Namecoin.etc) were not capable of offering any competition to Bitcoin. But the situation changed when Ethereum entered the scene.

I believe in the future of Ethereum, but honestly, Ethereum is hard to beat Bitcoin.

I don't know  who come about this concept of Bitcoin dominance, but to me the measure is very faulty, if one look at the increase in number of ALtcoins that enters the market last year alone, this is very significant, so comparing two market where one is static and the other is dynamic is very wrong thing

I still believe that bitcoin is always the king of all cryptocurrencies, and even in a long run of cryptocurrency business bitcoin is still the number one. However the price of ethereum now rapidly grows, but it doesn't mean that ethereum take over bitcoin in terms of price value.

I feel confused and strange, so many questions about whether ETH will defeat Bitcoin? Can Litecoin shift the bitcoin? why do we think about it? i think every coin is trying to increase its value respectively? I do not care, if bitcoin is lost by ethereum.

Bitcoin is a market leader, so we can say it dominates, other coins are highly correlated with it. But it is too expensive, so there are will be always other coins on the market.

bitcoin as the core of altcoin so bitcoin will remain valuable and has a high value. almost all altcoin prices are updated by bitcoin growth. I think it would not be possible Ethereum could replace bitcoin even through bitcoin. I am proud of Ethereum which has the best price among altcoin.

No one replace bitcoin on top. Even you say ethereum dominates the market but still bitcoin is # 1 in this crypto world. If you can see the market price of bitcoin decreased that much but we don't know happen on the other day. Suddenly,  for me bitcoin has no end it always on top for sure.

I don't know what's your description of dominance. It's obvious that you are an Ethereum supporter and just because bitcoin way back that day you posted that chart does experience a small dip you consider it as the end? Come on, this is the crypto market and everything can happen and after the low market trade kindly check bitcoin's price today.
Just ignore them, they might be new to cryptocurrency.

Ethereum is showing up fast behind bitcoin and we have to commend the project and the growth so far but what you said is true, ethereum might be growing very fast but that does not mean that it will over take bitcoin. Bitcoin was the first and will always lead the market in terms of market value and prices, there is no replacement.

I think Bitcoin will gradually reduce its dominance, but it will not end.. Because Bitcoin is a high-speed currency. It is much more valuable than other currencies. This coin is known as the number one currency in the market. At present, the price of Bitcoin is low in the market. But ethereum prices are rising and its demand is increasing.So thoroughly is not that Bitcoin will lose his position.Maybe its value in the market will be a little lower. But I'm hoping Bitcoin's price will rise again in the market and again Bitcoin will return to its dominance.

Ethereum is very promising and popular with it's distinct utility and large market share in cryptocurrency. With all these good stuff going for ethereum, I still believe bitcoin will continue to lead in cryptocurrency space and ethereum will become big as well.

I do not think bitcoin will end in the future. Because this is a very valuable currency and makes trading more convenient with large amounts of money. Although ETH is a very great altcoin, its platform is widely developed and a lot of new projects use it for development. Although ETH made a great contribution to building a better Crypto world, it could not beat bitcoin.

As for me, bitcoin will dominate for a long time. This is the most important coin in the crypto world. I'm sure that large investors prefer to invest in bitcoin, not in alternative coins. Bitcoin the king and it will always be so.

According to my bitcoin will still dominate and be the top until the end. bitcoin has almost a perfect system and no other coins that I think can be said to be comparable to the bitcoin including ethereum. bitcoin it seems will always lead.

Bitcoin is the cornerstone of all crypto currencies. Bitcoin will dominate this market and I don't think that this will change any time soon.

It's to early to make conclusion yet we are on month of May we still have a half year and still a lot of happen to make but in the end of the day still the bitcoin will dominant the play that's my prediction not a conclusion huh.

It's true bitcoin dominance is falling, but that just doesn't mean that ethereum or any other alt will take it's place. This is just the recent "normal market behavior", after the alt boom. When traders realized that there was a hole market to invest in, and to simply pump and dump coins, the alts start increasing more than bitcoin. The thing is, that it's not a single alt that is doing better. It's just that a lot of alts get pumped, and bitcoin dominance falls, and when those alts get dumped, some other alts are pumping, so the cycle continues. Also, those alts are "recent", so they have more room to grow.

But there is another standard behavior that shows us, that bitcoin is still the number one coin, and still leads the show. Every time there is a "market dump" or market correction, we see that alts are the ones that take the bigger hit. At that time, we usually see bitcoin dominance grow, that proves that most of the alts are just used for speculation, but the real investment is made in bitcoin.

There is no way that ETH could have a bigger impact than bitcoin, there a two competing factions now for bitcoin, BTC and BCH and i thing the competition will over take any hurdles and none of the coins can over take the collective efforts of bitcoin and which developers have a better solution for the world will win, this is a starting phase and it will take a longer time to see the changes.

Who knows but i guess BITCOIN will be awaken someday and will continue to bullrun. Its sleeping until now because of FUD and bad news in different country allowing investors to get scared and wont invest to crypto. But i guess even etherum will surpass bitcoin it wont be a problem for me because we have an ethereum exchanger here in our country. Bitcoin is still the number one coin, and still leads the show. I just hope that someday crypto will rise again.

Not a chance. Bitcoin will dominate the crypto market, because every time Bitcoin fails and the rest of the coins are failing too.

It's just because of huge number of stupid altcoins under ethereum. In reality, Bitcoin dominance still standing.

Just be real, it's just more money coming to those ERC20 Token and many other alt coins, the bitcoin is currently stagnant at the same stage, even though the price of bitcoin heavily affect the whole cryptocurrency market, but the market capitalisation of the whole cryptocurrency market always increase and the majority of incoming money are going to those ERC20 token and other alt coins.

ERC20 token is currently the most used type of token under ETH. But it's really hard to conclude the bitcoin domination is on its end. Bitcoin price is affecting Altcoin as well. Meaning, it is still dominance on that. But I'm sure, time will come that more and more Alts will play a major role in this field.

bitcoin will always beat all. this is due to, “because Bitcoin is king/queen, and the other coins are at best following it.

It is hard to come up with a fundamental algo with which to price coins, so coin prices just follow Bitcoin as a sort of gold standard (“the Bitcoin Standard”).

It is the number one coin, and thus it is the coin that decides the market price in general.

If there is another standard way of changing ALTs to other currencies example to FIAT. it would much less affected to the price of BTC.

The price of bitcoin is such, only because it is bitcoin. Name, status, history, nothing more. This asset is obviously overvalued. I think he does not have a big future, so I do not invest in it.

Are you serious? The asset is undervalued given what it can potentially change in this world. If you want to make BTC gains, then perhaps some altcoins are better, but I feel more secure knowing my coin will be around tomorrow. Can't say the same for 95+% of altcoins that are structured like a security.

Bitcoin is great, this is where cryptocurrency started. Maybe we have encountered so many ups and downs this year but I still believe on the technology of bitcoin, this is the future and believe it or not bitcoin will go high.

Yes, it seems to me that in a year or two the ETH will dominate, and bitcoin will go to the background. Bitcoin needs support for smart contracts.

I think Bitcoin is a currency that is truly open and transparent. I don't think it will end. It will always be the king of cryptocurrency. Although there are many cryptocurrencies that want to surpass it, it's The strength is still the most powerful.

I think its not quite easy to replace bitcoin in the number 1 slot, but we cant predict the market movement. I have also a gut feeling that bitcoincash will replace bitcoin before 2018 ends. But I think it will be a low percentage for that to happen.

I want to say, Any possibility can happen, Ethereum has an interesting development and is now increasingly exploited and famous.
 And Ethereum will take the leading position

at the moment the facts are like that but i think ethereum is also in bad trend and as we know that ethereum price often follow the development of bitcoin price so if ethereum increase before bitcoin occurs already increase so that its dominance remain on bitcoin because equally increase

Cuz this year is year of platforms for dApps, usual coins aren`t enough now, crypto industry requires new services which can connect fiat and digital world,it`s the main way now,cuz without connecting we won`t be able to use crypto in everyday life

It also seems to me that Bitcoin is overestimated, but he deserves it, because it all began. I think that the price and the volume of capitalization of bitcoin will slowly fall and at some point its place will take a better and more perfect coin. Maybe it will be ETH.

I think the advantages of Bitcoin still exist. As the originator of cryptocurrency, it is always accepted and used by more people. Other currencies can become competitors but cannot replace Bitcoin.

I think no, Bitcoin will still be in the position of the boss, but bitcoin's influence will become smaller and smaller, which is normal for the market.

In cryptocurrency market every month there are more and more new coins so dominance of bitcoin is reduced. Traders do not want to buy only one bitcoin and invest money in various altcoins because they expect more profit from them.

No, i don't think so. If crypto market want to surviv, it need bitcoins to survive and grow more because new investors know bitcoin before any other altcoins. So if bitcoin don't grow, how can attract new investors :D

Bitcoin depreciation or appreciation affects the currencies of the entire market. All crypto money is linked to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is needed to trade in the market.

bitcoin and the violas are growing together at the moment. I like that. That's normal. Because the market is back on track.

Everyone who is mostly worried about the dominance of bitcoin shouldn't worry. You are believing that bitcoin is the king of crypto's don't you?

It won't become low its dominance until we see it's market cap to 0. Market of it still on $100 B which is high comparing to some tech companies.

Ethereum is not treasured enough to overpower bitcoin in dominance. You might as well be looking at Litecoin instead. Quite alright the dominance of Bitcoin is dwindling and this should be expected as more cryptos have come into the market. There are many crypto options to choose from now and that explains why bitcoin is losing grip.

To be honest, I'm not sure Ethereum will be able to survive in a long time. And about Bitcoin dominance, I believe that in a year or two again it will return to its previous positions, about 70% of the entire market share.

Going by the statistic on coinmarketcap then its glaring that the whole crypto market capitalization has reduced drastically. Therefore that reduction affected the dominance of bitcoin, if we have a bull market then bitcoin dominance will increase.

I think bitcoin dominance will be back soon. It's a normal process if bitcoin is reduced it's lower price because of new altcoins and token that appears. Just wait and see until the price will rise again.no one can tell time will come!!!!

bitcoin will still dominate the market crypto to whenever. though many altcoins started giving changes and showed great potential, however, it is also of increasing of the bitcoin. all altcoin is always going up and down when such order also bitcoin. This will make the bitcoin will always dominate the circumstances that exist.

I don't think so since the price of the bitcoin still that high. I think it is just experience a crisis for now but after this I am sure that bitcoin will recover before the year ends. Not just the bitcoin but also all the crypto will recover soon. Let's just be patient and wait what will happen, we still have less than 6 months to go.

it seems so, but I instead see Ethereum only close to the bitcoin price in the future. can not replace bitcoin positions as king of all altcoin. but the future no one knows how. let's see together, hopefully it does not harm to both us and us as users.

I don't think so. Although bitcoin decentralization is inefficient, if it is threatened by other projects, it will fight back, expand the block, and build smart contracts on top of it. Then it will be more powerful.

Bitcoin dominance was around 95% in the first time.
This is because Bitcoin price is between 15-20k. There are too many coins in the market. Now people have stopped investing in Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Investments in ICOs are now increasing in the market.

I think this is already happening... I think that etherium or ripple will soon lord over bitcoin. It can be that the price of etherium will soon skyrocket. I am hoping this happens by Dec. 2018

I don't think that bitcoin dominance is ended because the bitcoin price still in the high price if we compare with other coins and bitcoin still lead the cryptocurrency market. although the price of bitcoin is down too deep, bitcoin still the king of cryptocurrency and many people still invest their money in bitcoin. but maybe ethereum have a chance to take over bitcoin place but I am not sure about that so let the time that will answer this.

Difinitely not, if you heard the news something special happens
someone transfer last night 48500 btc with 0.04 cents fee's
with that something will make btc great again, as i expected
someone really makes bitcoin network clog with just fake transactions
to make the people believe something is wrong with bitcoin
this is to overtake bitcoin, or maybe they can get it by low price
but as we see if bitcoin can transfer that fast with cents to pay
then goodbye banks , we can see bitcoin dominates the industry
what are youre thoughts about the news

For me, Bitcoin will stay a dominant cryptocurrency few years. Let Ethereum grow faster but BTC is the crypto that is #1. I believe that this year it will gain a lot, and its holders will earn really much.

At the time of this post, Bitcoin regained it's dominance - 48%+.
It will take a while before a "Flippening" happens.

Those who have lots of Bitcoin, the whales, will definitely fight hard to ensure that Bitcoin will stay relevant and dominant.

This is very serious information. It clearly shows us that in fact bitcoin is very poorly developed and improved in comparison with other types of crypto currency. New coins and tokens constantly appear, which have lightning-fast transactions and practically do not have commission fees. Therefore, bitcoin is in many respects inferior to them. If the network of lightning does not correct the situation, bitcoin will soon have to give up its place as the leader of the crypto currency, and at the same time it will lose the opportunity of price dominance over other types of crypto currency. I would not say that the last is so bad. The increase in  bitcoin dominance in the crypto currency market actually means the absence of a free market for crypto currency.

Don't you think its more of an issue with the amount of coins coming out vs Bitcoin being poorly developed?  Bitcoin is not #1 because it's the fastest and best.  The mere fact it was first and the original is what makes it number 1.  I assume if 1000's more coins come out in 2019 it may lose even more market cap however it will maintain the #1 spot. 

As long as we are in a bear market Bitcoin will dominate in general. Only once we see some serious decoupling of all the rest of the crypto market cap will we see Bitcoin dominance go down. Also, we need a huge bull run to happen where Bitcoin will surge very high in price and when that does happen then all those big Bitcoin peeps will pour money into altcoins to pump them hard to make even more Bitcoin and USD. That's their trick and that's how all those whales become bigger whales. Bitcoin dominance won't end any time soon because whales want to accumulate Bitcoin or USD. Everything else is just an excuse to make more money.

I saw how the dominance of bitcoin fell to 30%, now it has returned to the region of 50%, it is understandable, because people believe that the most reliable is bitcoin and in the event of a fall of the market they try to invest there

Bitcoin still dominates coins at the moment, and that will continue because no one has been able to rival the value of bitcoin. The bitcoin community is growing because what is known to the community is bitcoin.

And what about bitkoin, except that he is great, that he is the first, that he is a king and so on? What are the best technical characteristics and functional qualities of it? In my opinion, none at all. While the crypto currency is developing, it is slowly degrading. He still keeps on the former popularity. If it does not improve, then its popularity will quickly pass.

Iv never seen BTC as dominant at all, rather there is a sense of laxity from other coins, making BTC enjoy the dominance uptop. BTC is a high quality coin, there is no doubt about that, but the fact that its gone all these years unchallenged signifies that no other alt is good enough to match its quality and there is none that seems to be doing something about it, unless a coin comes up with a better project then BTC will still remain the coin uptop

The last week has brought new frustrations for investors: the U.S. Commission on securities (SEC) has not issued a permit for the release of new derivatives of cryptocurrency funds ETFs. Bitcoin could not hold above $8000 and moved down to the level of $7300. Economist and trader Tour Demeester in his blog expressed the opinion that bitcoin will not see its highs this year. The expert believes that the market needs more time to absorb the 36-month rally, during which the bitcoin rate rose from $250 to a peak near the $20 000 mark in December 2017.

As we see now Bitcoin begins to increasingly dominate the other cryptocurrency and Ethereum can not get out of the pit and it's just the beginning. As the statistics show, Bitcoin has never reached its peak for sometime in the summer, so growth is still ahead.

I do not believe that bitcoin is a bubble and he will just leave us! I'm sure that in the near future he will show himself from the best side and the whole world in him will again believe.

I dont think ethereum will dominate in the end because as you can see ethereum is going down as well. I think that bitcoin will dominate more in the future. So continue to trust bitcoin but we cant deny the fact that ethereum is still a good coin to invest with.

Disagreed, Bitcoin Dominance is forever. People are just beginning to become more aware of it, more people need to understand what it is. When we talking about payments in Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin Comes first. 

First of all such value as "dominance" is just for those who love to indulge in figures. Bitcoin is one coin. Ethereum is not the one - it has tons of tokens that uses ethereum to be transferred. Of course if there will be extra 2000 shittokens on ethereum maybe it could become dominant but even in this case - I can't believe it could be :)

well you posted this in april. but we have witnessed a very huge raise for btc dominance in july  :). this market is really unpredictable. nobody can know what is going to happen even 1 month later.

maybe the dominance of btc is going down in percentage, but before it ends and is replaced by a worthy successor i think it will still take years

I think actually, BTC's ratio going up probably means decreased confidence in the crypto markets (for now). When you see people going nuts with alts again and selling their BTC, that will give me more assurance confidence has returned to crypto (barring certain situations like another big BTC hard fork or something, which could pull people into BTC and possibly pull us back into a bull market and re-creating a bubble again).

In the market now BTC dominance more than 47% and this mean many trader and investor sell their altcoin for BTC. This action make all altcoin going down the bottomed. Crypto market need more new money from investor so the price of altcoin possible will going up. BTC dominance now , i think this is because News of Bitcoin ETF.

Hell no way, that was just a stable price of bitcoin and i dont see any problem with that. Just take a look later in long term bitcoin is still the best coins in history and he is just starting in this point.

We will never know about it. Clear, indeed for bitcoin it takes a long period of time to show a sharp increase. Usually the pattern of 4 years. While indeed the longer ethereum increasingly good only. in fact almost every year shows a nice change.

Bitcoin still dominates. Just pay attention to the market - when BTC is going up, all the altcoins are following it. When it starts to follow, the alts do the same. I believe that we all need to hold BTC.

Indeed, extremely conceivable that bitcoins predominance will arrive at an end sooner or later. This is because of the inventiveness (as far as undertakings) of different coins out there. For instance ETH's brilliant contract and it's utilization as the delicate for raising ICOs gives it an attributes advantage over bitcoin. For bitcoin it's just a cash and store of significant worth, and very little else can be utilized for it.

Possibly at last it will turn out that route, yet for the time being one can not say so beyond any doubt in regards to it, on the grounds that everything can turn in no time flat and bitcoin will again be in a terrible circumstance, I imagine that nobody can foresee this without a doubt, regardless of how he might want.

BTC is known as the leader of cryptos. Dominance is normal. I means not the end.

No, usually dominance reduced when Bitcoin sideway and capital go to altcoin. You don't know when it's end because whales control maket.

Bitcoin dominance is getting lower? How about the fact that not even 80% of the world's population is aware of cryptocurrency and bitcoin? I think it's too premature to say that when there is still much room for growth for Bitcoin and cryptomarket

At the moment, Bitcoin still has a dominance of 50.8% from the whole crypto market. This is still a big number in my opinion, considering the fact that there were so much money raised from ICO's for other projects this year.

The fall of the market only increased the dominance of bitcoin in the market of cryptocurrencies. At the moment there is not a single sign that the dominance of bitcoin comes to an end or at least some signs threatening its domination.

I think this year is time to bitcoin down of price..we just stay hold and waiting untill it price will back grow up again.dont panic sell for now..look at year 2017 when bitcoin price fast grow up..i think sometime bitcoin price will back grow up again..but i dnt know when it will!

I don't feel that bitcoin predominance is finished in light of the fact that the bitcoin value still in the high cost on the off chance that we contrast and different coins bitcoin still lead the digital money showcase. in spite of the fact that the cost of bitcoin is down too profound, bitcoin still the ruler of digital currency and numerous individuals still put their cash in bitcoin. however, perhaps ethereum have an opportunity to assume control bitcoin put yet I don't know about that so let the time that will answer this.

Ethereum is viewing up close maximal bitcoin and we admit to conjure up the jut and the development so far-away on the contrary what you aforementioned is correct, ethereum potency be taming as bushy-tailed close on the contrary that does not agency that it will over take bitcoin.

I don't think so.

It will rule a long.

Seems to of got higher again. Problem is that bitcoin is the main trading pair for most alts so people need to buy bitcoin first.

I do not think so, now dominace is 54.7%, I think it will continue to increase. Market can not recover now, the situation is really bad.

I think ethereum can not replace Bitcoin to dominate cryptocurrency market because until Bitcoin is so popular and most invested by so many people although Bitcoin is dropping but the most affected is ethereum and its price now is falling to $218 which is very low for this year.

Hope it won't happen because almost all my money was invested in Bitcoin. I believe its dominance will never die because I think that Bitcoin deserves to be a dominator.

And the input and output to fiat usually occurs through bitcoin and most beginners cryptocurrents initially invests in bitcoin, so that in the foreseeable future nothing threatens the dominance of bitcoin.

it's not that I'm not supportive but Bitcoin still won't be defeated, even by Ethereum
Eteherum is just altcoins and it becomes the second choice after Bitcoin by everyone.

It's not the end, I believe that there will be a so strong alternative cryptocurrency that will beat BTC and its dominance at all and freedom on the cryptomarket will be the usual thing.

It seems to be the true because it is very great unnecessary thing that we have but it has a negative effect on the cryptomarket's spreading and increasing.

dominant bitcoin will come back again, when we hold bitcoin then bitcoin prices will strengthen again and bitcoin will dominate again. I think bitcoin will soon recover, but I'm still loyal to bitcoin.

For today Botcoin dominance over 55%..)) Yea it's the end, th end of altcoins aven Ethereum....  :D

It's funny to see a post wrote in April is exactly the opposite if it was wrote in September. So I guess next April we could all be rich again!

Bitcoin won't end because all Exchanges are always pairs with Bitcoin and Ethereum.
But if Ethereum can also be reduced because it can be said that Etheruem is altcoins and an alternative trade from Bitcoin.

I think it's not the end but it will be the most stable price performance of bitcoin all over the years. It's has stabilise in 6-7k price mark which could be said that in this price bitcoin will settle.

bitcoin dominance will continue to occur on an ongoing basis. bitcoin continues to grow into an increasingly good crypto and this certainly makes the dominance of the bitcoin will continue to be strengthened. Indeed many another altcoin which showed good movement but it will not be able to shift the dominance of the bitcoin.

The dominance of bitcoin will continue, as the value of coins is oriented to the value of bitcoin. BTC wins technologically.After dealing with scalability issues, it will dominate for a long time to come.

This is not the end, there are literally thousands of altcoins in the market right now and the dominance of bitcoin is compared against all of them at the same time, of course the dominance is going to drop as people are bound to take out some of their bitcoins to be able to invest into the altcoins. Bitcoin will still continue to dominate the market for a long time to come

Yes, it's not the end of BTC it will come to power after facing against all odds. If the market situation is worsen it doesn't mean it is dying. It is slowly recovering, BTC is a rock star guys. Believe in it.

Bitcoin will be always a leader and I believe that all coins will raise also because when bitcoin feels good - the market feel good. I think this is already a golden rule on the market among investors.

We do not believe Ethereum may master ultimately simply because as possible observe Ethereum is certainly going lower too. I believe which bitcoin may master much more later on. Therefore still believe in bitcoin, however, all of us cannot refuse the truth that Ethereum continues to be a great gold coin to get along with.

Not the end, bitcoin is not having a dominance problem, right now the dominance of bitcoin over all of the other coins is still very strong and they all still rely on the coin to get their prices and value. Even lower the dominance of bitcoin is very high and that is not changing any time soon. Ethereum can't even hold itself up, talk less of holding up the entire market, please don't make me laugh

When I please don't imagine Ethereum will probably command finally mainly because as your able view Ethereum will decrease likewise. I'm sure of which bitcoin will probably command far more sometime soon. And so keep confidence bitcoin although most of us won't be able to refute the point that Ethereum is a superb coin obtain having.

I think BTC dominance will grow up to 70% when the new bull run will begin in 2019 because all new investors money will flow into BTC and many people will sell their altcoins for BTC to get on the leaving train names "BTC to the moon".

Bitcoin has a huge capitalization and its dominance in the market is more than 50%, so I do not think that any of the coins can achieve the same results and indicators.

Hopefully, Ethereum is also weak atm, we will see another Blockchain and another token that will finish Bitcoin dominance.
I will be happy because of it, as BTC is really weak

I am not sure where you see that as right now the BTC dominance is back to 52.4% and Ethereum has fallen back from a peak of 30% to 10%.
Clearly room for recovery of ETH but I do not see Ethereum or anyone else really challenging Bitcoin for the top spot.

I am sure that Bitcoin has the most magnificent growth prospects.
Ethereum is now worth $ 200, in any case, it will rise in price to $ 1,000, and this is a fivefold increase.

Both Bitcoin and ETH already have a good stand already in cryotocurrency which means if I'm to invest the two is the most favorable to me which means they have good solid background and more so than they've been in existence for a while, though the prize had not been stable and this is why it's varies so long term will be advised waiting for boom.

Of course this is not the end. This is just the beginning. Here now will soon begin a massive increase. Must grow very well.

i think Bitcoin keep dominance the marketshare of cryptocurrency and still centraling all of cryptocurrency for 10-20 year again, but after that who know, how about the competitor like Ethereum, Zcoin/cash, Waves, Litecoin, Eos, Cardano and other top altcoin

Although many people are already diversifying, that doesn't mean that bitcoin will stop being the leader because, for every person who has 1 altcoin, they  usually keep 2 or 3 bitcoins, so it's not fair to call the end of the bitcoin reign, if it's still an excellent coin, with a lot to give.

In the last two months the merged has stabilized. I can not say whether this is a positive sign, or it is a prelude to a definitive collapse.
However, if the bitcoin is not very well, I would say that the whole altcoins sector is much worse.
So, for now, I would say that the bitcoin maintains its position.

It's good for us if any other coin fight with Bitcoin market cap. Still long way to go for others. In the current stage ETH and XRP at the good stage. Both has total around 20% dominance over the time and it's not bad.  ;)

No. I think we will see in the future how the capitalization of bitcoin spreads between other projects and goes into Ethereum, NEO and so on.

I think that in the long run there will not be a single cryptocurrency leader, especially with such a large margin in the level of capitalization that we now see in Bitcoin. Most likely, there will be several leaders and they will periodically change each other, since there will be many good coins and they will compete with each other for better demand. With such a position in the cryptocurrency market, price domination will not be and the cryptocurrency in its price will be more free.

Almost every month, various cryptocurrencies appear on the modern crypto market, which position themselves as a replacement for BTC. But years pass, and the BTC in any case retains its dominance. But I also think that with time as new coins appear, the overall dominance of BTC in the market will decrease.

I think that condition is just simply a market movement that can change at anytime.
So i still believe that bitcoin will keep being the number 1 crytptocurrency for now and many years later.

I think there is indeed a time for bitcoin started weakening and this will certainly have a chance a lot of coins to get replaced. But if that happens, of course, will also have an impact on other crypto is also bad for because this is like the center of a lot of cryptos. bitcoin is currently still dominated and shift it's not an easy thing in quick time.

I think that these are obvious things, when domination of Bitcoin in the end is still to be carried away and the cost of BTC will be very high, but now we see how the market is trying to attract new investors at new prices today.

Bitcoin dominance  has  not ended, it just fluctuate in range of 35-70%. During bearish market the BTC dominance
is rising and during bull market it is decreasing. BTC is still the most trusted and established coin.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. So far, Bitcoin is still the leader and I think that in the next two or three years this will not change, but given the fact that the market is filled with a large number of new altcoins, the dominance of Bitcoin falls.

No.. just no ffs

will see, but till now I do not see any reason for changing of bitcoin dominance

Bitcoin will not be dethrone by any stable coin on the coinmarketcap not even the Ethereum itself will do. Even in the mist of dips Bitcoin dominance still on point and will continue for another decade. Bitcoin as the mainstream of the blockchain technology will dominate all other coins for a long time.

In the coming years, the dominance of BTC in the crypto market will in any case be maintained, given the volume of capitalization and the price of this cryptocurrency. Although over time, such dominance will gradually decrease, this is a normal phenomenon after the appearance of many new currencies almost every month.

It is quite the opposite. Bitcoin cash also right now have the same fate with bitcoin. BCH is also dumping its price since after the hard fork. Like many buyer are backing out on the coin and getting more interested in the fork than the main coin. But the year hasn't ended yet. We can still expect some major bounce back hopefully.

it is obvious that the domination of bitcoin is growing in such a negative market. Altcoins are more prone to falling and people are trying to protect their assets by transferring them to Bitcoin.

I don't think its even a sign that ethereum will be taking Bitcoin places, as we all can see the market condition.
All of the coin has their price falling, and the price of ethereum still far away from bitcoin and also right now the place of ethereum is being taken by ripple.

yeah, ethereum is currently experiencing a very bad situation. and its position has now been replaced with XRP. the possibility will be very difficult to return to its original position, but we don't know how the future will be. ethereum is a good coin, ethereum still has a chance to restore its position.

at this time indeed the market situation makes all the holders panic sell and make the situation worse.

Even though the market is falling so much, but condition is still the same. Bitcoin is still the number 1 cryptocurrency.
No other coins that able to replace it's place until today.

altcoins fall much lower, it seems to be safer for people in this bear market to wait out the fall in bitcoin

BTC is still dominating the market with over 50% and it is the most trusted and secure coin on the market.
During the bulls the dominance was decreasing to 30% but during the bears the dominance is strengtheing.

Ethereum provides an illustration that the hope of being first remains. I hope the altcoin market will continue to improve, and hope there is the best solution so that market conditions continue to rise.

I continue to believe in the huge potential for successful development of BTC. Despite the decline in its overall dominance in the crypto market, Bitcoin is still the absolute king of the crypto market. In the coming decades, in any case, it will remain a confident leader among the existing cryptocurrencies.

Today, new and promising cryptocurrencies regularly appear on the crypto market. But even in such conditions, Bitcoin consistently maintains its large-scale dominance, having a significant impact on the overall development of the crypto market. Personally, I believe that in the coming years, such dominance of BTC will in any case be maintained.

For me, bitcoin has always dominated and will dominate now Ethereum on the contrary fell in capitalization and I think can continue to decline

not. Bitcoin will always be the main cryptocurrency and no one can shift it from the singing place

Now at the end of 2018, specific in November, the BTC dominance is more than 50%. In my view, in the next 5 year, BTC will dominate the market, and ETH will stand at 2nd place stability. In the future, ETH will be replaced BTC, but I think the prospect is so far away.

Bitcoin has a very strong position compared to other altcoins. Moreover, bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency and has a 'trust value' that other altcoins don't have. Although there are many coins and tokens that admit to having better technology and products than bitcoin, it is very difficult to replace the position of bitcoin.

As per by choice, Ethereum will end the dominance of bitcoin? but it looks like it didn't and it won't. Bitcoin shall remain as the king of this market and its dominance will affect all of the crypto's from time to time.

The market is dropping from time to time and its dominance is strong all of the time around 50%-53% and sometimes its higher. Once we see people are buying more bitcoin, dominance will increase and value should go high.

Currently, we are pretty stable staying at about 53%, but in my opinion alts will start raise first, and then bitcoin and hopefully afterwards all together :)

Or stable coin. we are in the bearish trend right now and be careful with anything that can happen in the bitcoin. I will try to spent all of my money on the stable coin just like TUSD to buy back crypto again when it will have reached its bottom value. This will become the best way.

dont be afraid guys with all the rollbacks coming in the crypto market. bitcoin will rise for sure

At present, many tools are being created for trading precisely by Bitcoin and not by other Altcoins, I think that its capitalization will only grow in the future.

Now, after some time, we can say that no ethereum or any other cryptocurrency can not shift Bitcoin

Judging by the coinmarketcap site, bitcoin domination has been keeping at 53 percent for a very long time and is unlikely to fall more quickly. We all know that if there is a pump then at the beginning the whales will invest at the beginning of bitcoin and then all the other coins. Just now whales profitably keep at the same level domination of bitcoin.

Litecoin is one of the best cryptocurrencies for mining - you can earn here a lot. However, I do not think that the price of this crypto will change a lot in 2018.

I think Bitcoin will always dominate the rest of the alternative coins. At the moment, the share of Bitcoin is 52%.

As we see at the moment, ETH dropped to 3rd place, and this means that the dominance of Bitcoin continues and no one can claim it. I hope only that ETH will regain the 2nd position and its price will grow, after the launch of the harforka.

If you see a comparison of the dominance of Bitcoin, of course now it has experienced a very long decline whether it is caused by the number of altcoins or an increase in the amount of USD entering all markets for BTC pairs so that many people tend to better secure assets in USD.

I think that the altcoins market will become more and more, and so one day the capitalization of Bitcoin will not be in such a big gap as it is now.

Indeed, Every cryptocurrencies will be unpredictable and unstable. The price can go up and down significantly. It is not surprising if many people get much profits because of this situation. It is also applied for bitcoin. Bitcoin price is also unpredictable. Maybe bitcoin today is almost like stable coin because of its slowly moving price but I think it is only because we are now on a status of a huge dip.

I wouldn't pay much attention to your thread post because it's way too old. But for those would read through or if you eventually go through your post. Every Market has its ups and downs, so there can be a time things wouldn't remain the way they are. You can call it market correction, but we just experienced the longest bear market in history but that doesn't mean it's the end but things will go a little bit slower for now

I don't know how can you think about this.Bitcoin is the current no1 crypto and replacing bitcoin is not easy but I think impossible.And Ethereum is a good crypto with potential but it can't reach the milestone like bitcoin.Just look at the price of Both coin you'll learn Where is bitcoin and where Ethereum.             

OP is looking for an answer for Bitcoin dominance and what you are talking about? It's nothing related to domination.

It was normal. When BTC rises, altcoin rises too and BTC domination get reduces. Again, when BTC price decreases, the altcoin price also decreases and BTC domination increases.

Bitcoin is the king of coins and he will remain in number 1, so he will not end. for now he can still grow and benefit us all.
it is not easy that Bitcoin will end, if only he is weak he will try to wake up because he is strong.
lots of Bitcoin supporters so if he ends up many are sad and disappointed.

I think at this time indeed bitcoin dominates all coins but, what happens now is that bitcoin is growing and other altcoin and coin also grow, meaning that this is a good development this year, so good development surely other coins will catch up with good ones too the dominance of bitcoin has an important role in the world of crypto.

Bitcoin has always dominated the market, and that's okay. Now the market is in a difficult situation, and Bitcoin itself must raise the market up.

The fact is the current price defines that the biggest Bitcoin crashes of the time. Though we have experienced that this crash happened before, but always came back stronger than even. In case, to see the market up just a matter of time.

The dominance of BTC is still happening and it seems to me that it will continue to happen. I am sure that you also understand the enormous pressure from the BTC. It is the BTC dynamics that now really works in the volatility of the entire market.
