If Bitcoin were to completely bottom out, what would happen to the altcoins?

Follow the crypto superstar to a fiery death?  or  Skyrocket passed their predecessor?

I believe that Satoshi had a vision where blockchain technology and cryptocurrency would be the foundation of the world. But as we all know Rome wasn't built in a day(unlike bitcoins run to 20k). What if in this vision Bitcoin wasn't meant to be the gold of the internet but rather a mold of what should be created. When comparing bitcoin to its rivals, it is usually at a disadvantage in the technology department yet, it is still the most valued crypto. While Lightning network has been less than impressive, other crypto tech has been stealing the spotlight. Ripple is currently holding the fastest transaction time of roughly 3 seconds(avg. transaction time for bitcoin~60min). EOS while navigating a rough mainnet launch is dropping EON which looks to fundamentally solve problems within EOS. Investors are already talking about EON being crypto-gold in the near future.

Don't give up hope if Bitcoin does take a turn for the worst. Trust the Tech, better days are on their way.

Bitcoin is the term from where crypto world took the first step and this world has reached many milestones since then so its death is not a practical thought. But if by any means this happens to be true in near future, crypto world is surely going to be affected and the market will be shocked. Trust of the investors and traders is likely to go down. Prices of cryptocurrencies will also go down. But now the market has lots of cryptocurrencies which are very much profitable when traded. So i think death of Bitcoin will surely affect cryptomania to a very large extent but with some time, market will continue to go on.

The death of the bitcoin is not the death of crypto. Bitcoin is the part of the crypto currency, not crypto is the part of the bitcoin. there are many other coins which are continouely increasing there value as well as the value of crypto also increases.

If bitcoin will dead a day, it doesn't means the Crypto will dead.

I think that if Bitcoin dies, it is possible that crypto will also die by Bitcoin. Because market trends sometimes have a huge impact on the crypto market. Just like Bitconnect dies and other MLM projects die

Hard to speculate without knowing the reason of Bitcoin's hypothetical bottom-out. In most scenarios I can think of, altcoins could exist independently even after its death.

Unless we're talking about some global internet shut-down or coordinated ban on crypto/fiat transactions - it's fair to say that cryptos are here to stay.

If bitcoin will be dead then cryptos might be dead too because every crypto move depends on bitcoin price as you always on the market and all cryptocurrencies are being traded with bitcoin and it is the major need of cryptos.

I think other coins can operate independently without bitcoin. But if ever bitcoin will die it sure will have a big impact on all cryptos since every one of them do depend on the value of bitcoin. As we see when bitcoin's price increase others follow, same as when it decreases.Har to think though that bitcoin will die and what the reason can be

The way I see it, bitcoin will have a huge impact on other cryptocurrencies if it were to largely decline. Most crypto on the list only follows the trend of bitcoin; some may deviate a little but still always find the tail of bitcoin and follow it. ETH can be its mighty predecessor, seeing how most coins are now ETH-based or are introduced through ICOs. Crypto-economy might still thrive, but the future for it might be short-lived since most people are only banking on bitcoin and not on other coins.

I agree with this. Bitcoin death will have a huge impact on the crypto market. Maybe people will never trust cryptocurrency again. They will sell all the coins and switch to investing in other fields

Definitely not

Though bitcoins majorly runs the crypto market.
But I tell you, the death of bitcoin doesn't mean the death of cryptocurrency as a whole, i still believe other altcoins can still sustain the crypto market though it might be hard and not as bitcoin would.

The death of bitcoin would mean a big change inside the crypto world.I`m pretty sure this won`t be the end of the cryptomania,some altcoins,like ethereum and litecoin might survive.Tokens that serve a sertain purpose,like Vechain,might survive and thrive.The consept of a "digital gold" type of cryptocurrency will be destroyed for sure.

I believe that in the event that bitcoin will be dead, definitely I would say there will be a big negative impact in the crypto market since btc is always the baseline in every market movement since btc and alts are correlated with the other. However, in my opinion, there is no possibility for btc to die in the current scenario since btc is doing good performance in the market and it is still getting better and better and more and more people are supporting btc.

Bitcoin don't die, and with no reason the death of crypto mania. Look at the chart guys. Market is Volatile, any thing can happened at any given time, price market value may goes up and goes down, dependent on the market investment for Bitcoin, the market structure is Stable, with good fundamentals, high level of confidence of the investors of Bitcoin. I am very optimistic with the current trend of the Market, Bitcoin will make a Bull run anytime soon.

I don't see BTC to be bottomed out, but if this is the case then that would mean another alt such as ETH as taken over and in this case cryptomaniacs will only miss BTC not totally the trading of crypto.

If bitcoin dies, cryptocurrency is really in a critical position because investors will not take the risk to invest on any altcoins if a giant coin Bitcoin dead, its simply means this market will not last for more years. I know this is just a sample situation because bitcion will last for more decades :)

In my opinion there are two possibility to predict these things and the first one is if bitcoin death then following it crypto also will be lack of interest with eventually dead too and the second possibility is there is altcoin could being an the replacement of bitcoin from the price side and from the popularity side

Why, I am thinking that after all the time when bitcoin will be dying it will be already some kind of cryptocurrency that can replace it fast and without any loss of popularity of the cryptocurrencies around the world,

Bitcoin cannot die. Even if you dumped more and more with all your bitcoins, all these people would have bought more until a certain profits and then sell it away.

First of all its seems like impossible that bitcoin will die. But if we consider a worst situation that bitcoin dies , crypto mania will suffer alot because Prices of all the crypto currencies follow the trend of bitcoin (if bitcoin rises all other crypto currencies rises and if bitcoin falls all other crypto currencies fall). People will loose their trust in crypto market and will invest in some other field rather than investing in crypto.

I think if bitcoin die in the future the crypto will fall but I think it recover again without the help of bitcoin and we will see the market up again because the founder of the altcoins we will not want to see their coin die too but it will dump very deep first and crypto will recover with the new bitcoin.

Death of Bitcoin is beyond imagination but by any means if it happens, surely the crypto world is going to be affected as the trust in the market will become less. Many investors are being driven in the crypto world due to the massive profits made by others with bitcoin, to some extent. It will take time but the ones who knows this system and its analytics properly will wait and re-invest in other Altcoins as this trading world never ends.

Now no one can understand till the end what is happening to the world and how it is changing along with the Blochkchain technologies! The crypto market was only born, he is only 8 years old! but in just such a short time, the crypto world wore a lot of noise! Now many states can not understand what to do about it. Bitcoin has a very strong position in front of the rest of the crypto coins, due to the fact that he was the first. as bitcoin is now the most popular coin among all the others, as well as Sakmai dear! But I'm sure that in the next 10 years crypto world will change. Must appear very strong and with a large capitalization of crypto coins! We need such coins, with their help, the crypto market will steadily grow up! Crypto market will not pay attention to the falling or growing bitcoin! Today everyone is fed up with the fact that bitcoin is manipulated by big wallets! And because of this, all other projects with their coins can not develop normally and move in front! The growth of all coins on the soaring depends on the cost of Bitcoin! But if there are at least 5-10 competitors in bitcoins and there will be legalization of the crypto market around the world, then large investors will enter! That's when the overall growth will begin, and no one will pay attention to the cost of bitcoin! And even if bitcoin dies, all the crypto industry will actively develop all over the world! The world is constantly changing, let's see what happens next .......

You always need to stick to your strategy and not let go of the market and buy coins for a larger amount than you originally planned.

This is hard to gauge right now. It is true that Bitcoin was the founding father in the entire cryptocurrency craze, meaning that its hypothetical death would certainly impact the cryptocurrency economy in a large way. Then again, the rest of the market is very diversely spread out and could potentially receive a lot of support so that other altcoins don't receive the same result that Bitcoin could run into. The way I see it is that there will always be some supporters of altcoins that don't support Bitcoin. It's a huge possibility that the support for a certain altcoin could prevent it from going far down like other major cryptos in a bearish market.

Normally the altcoins market s always mimicking what BItcoin market does. I don't think cryptocurrencies will come to the end if BItcoin completely bottomed, but the flippening will happen. The community will decide a superior cryptocurrency in term of technology and use cases and it will appear to be the new market cap leader.

Well to me bitcoin will remain the digital gold and bitcoin is built with the highest technology I always say we are OK with bitcoin there is no need for other coins and token's, bitcoin can perform all the functions the other coins can perform. That will even make the ecosystem safer for users. So I don't see any altcoins taking over from bitcoin soon.

If bitcoin for some reason ceases to exist, this does not mean the death of all the crypto currency. Each coin or token is capable, in principle, of an independent existence. Most likely, at first prices for the crypto currency will fall, but the situation after a while will calm down and the crypto currency will continue its movement according to the planned plan. I'm even interested in how the price for coins and tokens will be formed in the absence of bitcoin.

That’s an interesting question, although I don’t believe that we will ever quit crypto. Even if BTC will fail, there will be lots of people interested in crypto currencies.

Since all the crypto currencies follow the bitcoin price, there is likely to be no crypto currency market without bitcoin either. This is unlikely, since bitcoin will always remain relevant.

Yes, in fact, if bitcoin dies then the entire cryptocurrency market will also go into oblivion ! But I believe that this is unrealistic !

Bitcoin cannot die in any way even after it got dumped deeply, it will just start to getting a high pump after it because people say that bitcoin is more real gold.

It's gotten way to big and implemented in multiple structural organisations to die now

in my opinion, I think the answer is no, bitcoin might be a grandfather of altcoin but still not a god of altcoin, if bitcoin dead another coin with more potentials will survive and grow up over time.

I think its very hard to give the answer about this case. Because, like we all already know, bitcoin is still dominating the market and remain superior untill now, but in the other hand, we also can ignore the potential of altcoin's power.
When bitcoin die, i think altcoin will also loose the their place. Because, bitcoin is giving a huge impact in crypto world, and if it die, the other will also die.

Bitcoin system will most certainly not die, but the coin "owning" Bitcoin name, can (and most likely will) change the "ownership"... and most likely scenario for this is the Bitcoin Cash which has very real potential to get the rightful title of Bitcoin.

BTC is the symbol of encryption. If BTC is destroyed, it is certain that altcoin will be destroyed. Maybe it is also the risk of investment encryption.

Public demand is a thing when you consider death of Bitcoin - not going to happen. Also, several countries are planning their own state backed centralized crypto - so, no worries.

It is impossible to happen the death of bitcoin as long as there is a demand and supply in the market. But let say it will happen as what you think,crypto will still alive because if bitcoin gone another coins will rise and replace to bitcoin position. It is like a super star always at the top and always in the news, always the center of attraction but if being super star has gone another one will come and take the position of the first superstar. You know in crypto i believe that there is a lot of things and changes may happen at this coming years.

I personally remain optimistic that if at any time where the crypto will run out of course there are still many altcoins in the market that are now widely used all the bitcoin users may ethereum be replacing bitcoin positions or there is a next step from satoshi to supplement the bitcoin supply we hope so.

I think other cryptocurrency will just replace Bitcoin if these happens because these new cryptocurrencies are now backed by strong developers with large community, I'm sure that they will continue to develop and use this digital currency because they know that Blockchain technology is a great creation and so useful nowadays.

If bitcoin will die than all crypto world will destroy because all other altcoins are depend on bitcoin and its impact will be very danger for market and investors. but this thing is impossible because bitcoin was a first cryptocurrency when crypto world start already its impact is very strong in world's Economy and  bitcoin will be use as a major currency in upcoming years.

Yeah i agree with you, more and more people are looking to buy Bitcoins that means the demands of Bitcoin isn't dead so why Bitcoin will be death for sure ?
People who are supported Bitcoin won't let that horrible thing happen, without Bitcoin this world isn't that good.

I would have to disagree for bitcoin to die as this is impossible to happen for now where in fact, bitcoin is doing great in the market and progressing it's growth in the crypto market. You need to stay long and observe the market trend then you will able to realize that the subject thread is not feasible to happen. I believe that bitcoin will stay in decades and will prosper more in the coming years to come.

Well it would either go with bitcoin and would basically be the end of the cryptomania if bitcoin doesn’t have any value anymore or by that time a new coin had been created and would have better technology tahn bitcoin then there is a chance for some coins to still have value by then. But that is too far to think and I would rather focus on the present and what is here.

The death of Bitcoin will definitely create the chaotic situation in the market but it won't kill the entire Crypto industry because Bitcoin is not the only active coin right now. Each and every coin has its own philosophy and that's how it works so any issues with Bitcoin what effect other coins on a greater extent so I don't think that death of Bitcoin means the death of Cryptomania.

Moreover, the bitcoin has the most users in the crypto. It is like loosing bunch of markets and your product will be spoil. And that may probably what will going to happens in the cryptocurrency. It may not die as fast or at the same time as the bitcoin but it will soon fall. That is how powerful bitcoin was. But speaking of powerful, bitcoin has a lot of potentials which is still in process, bitcoin proves itself as of this moment so no need to worry. Bitcoin will continue to give in the future.

We can also ignore the potential of the power of altcoin. Because, bitcoin is making a great impact in the crypto world, and if it dies, the other person will die. If the exchange starts offering coin trading with either, the game lives on. Also it felt like the article was isolated to refer to this community and part of the world.

I think yes indeed crypto prices are influenced by the price of bitcoin. if bitcoin is crypto, it will still be a bit extinct. but hopefully bitcoin and crypto will not become extinct.

The death of bitcoin can not equally mean the death of all crypto currency that is if bitcoin can even die. The death of bitcoin will only affect the price of all coins since most of the coin is been traded by btc but it will crest room the frequent use of ETH and litcoin

I think it is not bitcoin will be death, it is just the price was dropping in the market in this year. That is because the hype that occurred in dec 2017.
The organic grow of bitcoin should be slower, not skyrocketing, because it seems just a speculators movements to create the hype of cryptocurrency for me.

Actually it may be the other way around. The immediate effects may be chaos but eventually things will settle down. Crypto is not bitcoin. It's a technology that runs on blochchain and people will realize that after bitcoin.

I don't think so, because the death of Bitcoin would mean the rise of another Crypto-Currency, a replacement. Crypto mania can't die because it's already part of the life of many people in the world: traders, gamblers, developers, businessmen (and even some criminals)...

The price of altcoins really depends on the price of bitcoin, because it renders price dominance over other types of crypto currency because of its high level of capitalization. If bitcoin is dead, then price dominance will disappear and the crypto currency will be free in its pricing. Then, on the contrary, there should be a good flowering of the crypto-currency market, and not the death of the crypto-currency.

This claim is at odds with reality. Except Ethereum, which has a meaningful
amount of transaction activity due to ICOs and gambling, most altcoins
are used very rarely. Even coins in the top 10 by market cap process
a laughably low amount of transactions every day. It is likely that many of these
transactions are also made in order to create the impression that the coin
is used (e.g. by the founders or by other parties that profit if people
perceive the coin as an active project).

To sum up, I fail to see any altcoin apart from ETH that sees any real usage.
Just take a look at an altcoin block explorer of your choice and you will
see that altcoins are not widely used.

the truth be told, the bitcoin has opened a gateway to a new technology as it can be said that from time to time a technology always comes to disrupt the already existing technology and allows other technology to be built on it. blockchain is that technology and it can not die.

I agree. At the same time, bitcoin is the king, which means if the king dies its castle will be in chaos. This is the possible thing to happen. There will be no organizations at all. It may not die in an instant but because of bitcoin dying it may lead to other cryptocurrency dies too. But seems pretty impossible right now when you see the market state and the investors willingness to invest.

I do not think so. Previously, bitcoin was a cryptocurrency that other coins were focused on, but now there are other "blue chips" like Ethereum, xrp, dash, monero, Ethereum and others... The death of bitcoin will have a negative impact on the entire industry, but will not kill it.

In my own opinion, I do not think that the death of bitcoin will affect the death of cryptomania because bitcoin is not the only one digital coins that existed now in the digital world. I think even if bitcoin die. The other coin will continue what it has been started and I think if bitcoin die, other coin will step up to take the name as the number one's cryptocurrency in the world. It is better to say that the death of cryptos are also the death of the digital world

No, each type of crypto currency is a separate system that can function independently. Therefore, if bitcoin suddenly disappears, which in itself can not happen, then the crypto currency will continue to exist and will develop further. This is especially true for tokens, which constitute the bulk of the crypto currency. They generally work in the narrow spheres of our life and practically interact weakly with the main crypto-currencies.

No it isn't
Though bitcoin have a greater influence in the crypto market, thougj if we have a decrease or a little downfall of bitcoin, there's going to be a influence or impact on the crypto market but still yet the market will recover even if bitcoin doesn't recover in time.

I see Bitcoin as the Anchor technology and all the other technologies are anchored onto that platform. Take away the main

anchor and the rest of the technologies will suffer the worst of the storms. If the main technology fails, people will doubt all

other technologies that are based on that Anchor technology. People look at the market leaders for direction and when there is

doubt about the market leaders, then they will hesitate to invest.

I don’t think bitcoin will go down in the future. I believe and trust that bitcoin will improve and people will get to know it more. But bitcoin is so complicated to understand for an average person so if its more easy to use, I’m sure it will go up to the moon.

If there is no bitcoin on the market then there will be no development of cryptocurrency ! In the same way as if bitcoin was not created and was not created for the cryptocurrency !

It will not end the whole cryptocurrency as they are all in separate platforms but this can create doubts on the investors point of view. Why will still invest if the main or the originator has burst from the bubble? Although I'm not totally worried on this as I believe that bitcoin will still with us until many years.

Although bitcoin is the leading cryptocurrency in the world, there are many coins in the crypto ecosystem. The fall of bitcoin may adversely affect the world of crypto since it has a high influence on the altcoins. I don't think the downfall of one coin can affect the entire crypto world.

But more than 50% of of all investments are in Bitcoin right?

So if may have a positive impact as it may cripple cryptos temporary. And also almost all of the trading pairs is Bitcoin so there's really a influence on crypto verse. However, I don't want to sound to be doom and gloom though, but its really possible that if Bitcoin dead suddenly there will be a dark and empty space for crypto.

Not agree, lets remember how the other coins prices is based on bitcoin, when you join to an exchanger to buy some alts, you see their price in bitcoin, and should be that way because some altcoins like DOGE coin cost only a few satoshis, so, if 0.001 are $7 guess how much is 0.0000001, right, money can't explain that amount, that's why the price is based on bitcoin.

And answering the question, if bitcoin crash and burns in hell, then other coin would be the new bitcoin, if it happen tomorrow, we would see a fight between BCH and ETH to get on top of the market, and other coins would base their price in those coins.

Even after the death of bitcoin, cryptocurrency can not cease to exist, because every day there are coins that are not much inferior to the progress of bitcoin and maybe some will give a much greater growth.

I think yes. If bitcoin ever die, then the whole market will follow him, unless a more powerful coin appears. But I doubt that bitcoin will die, so everything will be fine

Of course not!! Please read about AML BitCoin and you will see this coin is here to stay forever. AML BitCoin rests on a privately regulated public blockchain that facilitates AML-KYC compliance and identifies criminals associated with illicit transactions while maintaining and strengthening the privacy protections for legitimate users.

Well as the saying goes, everything is possible to happen so far as there is a way for it happen. Anyways i think your assumptions are too harsh. I mean it'll be very difficult for Bitcoin to completely bottom out- well maybe unless countries coordinate and do that of which I don't believe it'll happen. Anyways should that happen I think the ALTs may be around, but only a very few.

Well, anything can happen. But it is our job to make it not happen because bitcoin already help a lot of people's life. And if people still support bitcoin, i am sure that bitcoin and other crypto will survive.

No, the death of bitcoin doesn't mean crypto will also die. If bitcoin can't survive then there are still altcoins that will continue to make crypto live and survive in the long run.

Bitcoin will not die and the crypto market will be also available. There are many fake news about bitcoin that it will die but we should believe in bitcoin. It will survive obviously.

death of bitcoin is not death of altcoin . i think bitcoin is also a part of currency market. eth and other top coin are also equal to bitcoin in trading.

The only thing that can prevent the death of all cryptocurrency when Bitcoin dies is if another crypto is able to usurp bitcoins role as the leading cryptocoin in the entire world. Other than that, I believe that when Bitcoin dies all others will follow suit.

it  will be wrong to say bitcoin is death, it is well known that the cryptocurrency market is a volatile market so the market is ban to fall and raise again and this is the beauty of the market

Bitcoin has come to stay, if after the 2018 attacks on bitcoin and bitcoin is still  strong then it is still the king of all cryptocurrency. The developer of bitcoin is aware of the scalability issues and must not keep quiet while the new blockchains like EOS  and XRP  are faster in handling transaction of which more others are on their way coming. Bitcoin must continue to lead  for all cryptocurrency  for  now  because bitcoin will always updates.

It is true that if bitcoin dead then all the cryptos may be dead because that each crypto is affected by bitcoin cost as you generally available and all cryptocurrencies are being exchanged with bitcoin. On the other hand, if bitcoin dead, people will lose their trust in cryptocurrency and they will not invest in crypto anymore. So you can say that the death of Bitcoin also means the death of cryptomania.

Assume that bitcoin is dead.What are the reasons for the death of altcoins?The only thing that can happen if bitcoin dies,the price of altcoins will be much more than the previous prices.

I'm not sure the altcoin will survive when bitcoin has fallen, because we all know, now all altcoins have a price dependence on bitcoin, if bitcoin falls then everything will run out.

Losing faith question because bitcoin not jumping their price at the market
Anyways in my own opinion if bitcoin die i think cryptocurrency are also die 'why'
If bitcoin die altcoins becomes uselss coins because their price is depending in bitcoin
Let analysts if bitcoin dropping altcoins and the whole cryptocurrency is in the crisis all coins in the red signal at cmc

Although bitcoin is the leading electronic money in the world, there are plenty of coins in the coding ecosystem. I do not think the collapse of a coin can affect the entire crypto world. Even after the death of bitcoin, electronic money can not cease to exist, because every day the money is not much inferior to the advances of bitcoin and maybe some will grow much larger.

if bitcoin will be dead, there is a huge impact in the crypto world, whereas all the altcoins are dependent on Bitcoin. But i think it will not die easily

Everything will depend on what causes Bitcoin to die. If, for example, a global catastrophe happens, it is clear that everyone will have no time for cryptocurrency. But if Bitcoin simply loses its position due to lower demand, then it is likely that its holders will turn over to some other coin.

It seems to me that the death of bitcoin will significantly affect all cryptocurrencies, as it has been and remains the leader in the entire market. And maybe it will not cause the death of all coins, but they will also significantly fall after bitcoin.

I also think that it is necessary to focus on the factors that will cause the death of bitcoin. Since with the technology itself, it is unlikely that something can happen, but if an event occurs that will affect the digital currency itself as a whole, it will affect absolutely all coins.

Crypto has moved a long way since Bitcoin first hit the seen. Bitcoin will not die in the forceable, however it may well end up in care home for geriatric coins, as young upstarts take the limelight  by doing everything bitcoin dos but better, faster and cheaper. I see bitcoin in the next ten years growing for a while (with occasional dramatic highs and lows) then gradually becoming less and less relevant.  

Why do you think that bitcoin is death in the first place,if the price of bitcoin is down it dose not mean its a death coin,if you really understand what  bitcoin is all about you cease to say its a death coin,note its a volatile currency.

The death of btc is just the death of btc. Although it's not possible now, if it does happen, that would happen most likely because some crypto replaces btc. In that does happen, that would be rather a natural process than something unexpected.

The death of Bitcoin will have a negative impact on cryptocurrency as a whole, which will eventually die by itself because there are no more users. However, the death of altcoin does not mean death for bitcoin because bitcoin was indeed created as a digital currency without a companion. Even my prediction, bitcoin will someday become a digital currency that is used throughout the world after going through a series of system improvements so that it can be accepted by all countries.

if in my opinion not bro. because of every cryiptocurrency. have the ability and strength alone. so they can walk their own way. cause with increasing age of cryiptocurrency. the bitcoiners are increasingly smart and kind

I don't think that Bitcoin will die. Just imagining btc will die some day, even that cryptomania still alive and will not die easily.

When bitcoin is dead the member of bitcoin will be the same lost and gone, but its hard for seeing bitcoin and altcoin is dead because bitcoin is digital payment and have increase price every time, many people have take profit much with bitcoin and altcoin investment.

Its true that bitcoin dominate transaction in cryptomarket but it doesnt mean bitcoin is everything in market. I am believe market will create their own mechanism and others coin will growing up and reducing bitcoin dominant in market

hypothetical death of bitcoin means death of all the altcoins because majority of altcoins are based on bitcoin even if it doesn't seem like it at first look. and also because they all exist because of bitcoin! most of them have a value thanks to bitcoin traders who want to increase their bitcoin. so if there were no bitcoin they would also have no reason to trade those altcoins either and they will all die.

The death of bitcoin does not mean crypto death, but it will be a failure, because with the death of bitcoin the trust in crypto will be lost. But as the main coin in crypto, bitcoin won't die that fast.

If the bitcoin would dead today everything would collapse. All the market get crushes and there would a biggest panic in the markets, everyone would try to sell their coins and it will be big caos. Actually  all the world would collapse, there is market with 20 billions of dollar worth 24h Volume. But i am sure that would not be happen, big powers (i mean the big families) wouldn't let it happen.. 

Since we didn't see a progress in adoption of bitcoin into financial system. This caused a weakness on price of bitcoin and it made bitcoin vulnerable to manipulations and speculations. This week, we have experienced a slight drop on bitcoin price. This drop doesn't mean that bitcoin has lost its charm and it still has a greate potential. But problems will not be solved in a day and we need to be more patience.

Bitcoin is still at risk and can die sooner or later dependkng on the holders and the market itself. But then the idea and the technology remains the same, just drastically improving and innovating. Hence, we must not be scared if the mother of all cryptos would die. Good things may leave, but better things would come after. But then again, trust and patience is the key.

I am sure that btc will remain the leader and it will be the best coin for long. To my mind, it is better to use btc as the long-term investment as now it is the best most popular coin

This is not an acceptable idea because Bitcoin is the part of the crypto and the crypto itself . If I agree there is death of the Bitcoin other coins have also a worth though there value as compare to the bitcoin is low.Crypto will be there.

Of course, the death of bitcoin will be the death of cryptocurrency, which in turn will lose public trust in crypto currency, and certainly has a negative impact on cryptomania. For that I am sure that bitcoin will never die, because the crypto market is very clearly seen to be dominated or influenced by bitcoin, besides that the price of crupto is highly dependent on the movement of the price of bitcoin.

As the king of cryptocurrency and the benchmark of all other cryptocurrencies, it gives an extraordinary potential and worthy image that makes it very influential. Its death can have a huge unfavorable impact and cryptomania will totally be affected. However, I don't think Bitcoin is going to die that easy. It has been in the market for a decade and it will certainly continue its excellency. It will even soar higher and its demand will keep on increasing.

I don't think Bitcoin will die just yet unless it were superseded by another ground breaking technology to replace the blockchain. I think only after mass adoption of Blockchain technology which may take another ten years to implement, will we see another craze hit the streets and people talking about it and cashing in on that. I do not think the Bitcoin craze is over just yet. All these early birds need to sell to somebody, so only once it is institutionalized and then mass adopted, will we see a new technology appear to get new consumers in the market to buy.

It may be correct as we can see how bitcoin has influenced other cryptos in the cryptoworld. With regards to cryptos market price, its progress depends on how bitcoin's market price status too. So i think it is just logical to think that without bitcoin, cryptoworld will not survive too.

Not sure, why don't you think that if bitcoin die, altcoin will dominate crypto world. It will coninue running without bitcoin. that's my opinion.

If bitcoin dies, then I think everyone else will leave. There will be only a few projects that provide some kind of product.

I think most of us would quit since most of us are only here because of Bitcoin.
And some of us thinks that if Bitcoin drops down that means the crypto is doomed.

In the very first place bitcoin is not dead. Bitcoin still exist and there are so many investors are waiting for it to rise again.

for now its pretty much all altcoin pegged to bitcoin. if bitcoin dies, the rest will die too. different story if future when crypto is better developed. but those are unlikely to happen.

it seems to me, not necessarily. now many analysts say, that they bitcoin not really successful currency, and express favor to other currencies digital.

maybe cryptomania will die if bitcoin is also dead but maybe not with some altcoins based on ethereum or EOS.

It depends how it dies.I always speculated some other coin will take over eventually. If it is a slow process like over a few years I can't see any harm.If it a sudden crash shock to the system it could take 10 years for the system to recover.Cryptos will be around as long as the internet is around

I don't think Bitcoin would ever die completely. It's just set up to not be able to perish completely, no matter how much stress or opposition to it's existence it'll get. The value may go down significantly; yet that isn't the measuring stick by which it's existence can be judged. Alt coins may rise to relevance or fall each by their merits. One of them may eventually get a large share of the market or even surpass Bitcoin down the road. The ones that come later may barely resemble neither bitcoin nor even any of our known currencies. They may be crypto only by measure of being decentralized. Yet even so most altcoins will in some way benefit to keep bitcoin relevant too as it's the first and most well known. Will Bitcoin ever be a full currency? No one knows; but it will always be the first and with continued innovation it'll grow even more.

Yes, BTC is the king of cryptocurrency. If BTC does not exist, other cryptocurrencies have no more people and funds to support!
BTC is a belief that BTC will have a new future!

nope, it's just the beginning. Bitcoin can not be killed but can be replaced with something better. but if you even think of death of Bitcoin, crypto will be the new economy for the future world.

Bitcoin will not die. It means that the cryptocurrencies will stay alive as well. Unfortunately, many investors that have already bought shitcoins will lose their money - and this is the truth.

Cryptomania? Haha! Anyways, I do not believe that Bitcoin, though dominating the market in terms of marketcap, totally dictates the fate of the entire crypto space. Even if Bitcoin does come to an end, I strongly believe that cryptocurrency will still survive.

If it happens that bitcoin will lose its relevance or disappear due to a global technology error, then the rest of the crypto-currencies will die with it. I can not imagine the functioning of the cryptocurrency market without bitcoin, as it is the source of all coins.

Bitcoin can disappear only because of some very serious event that will affect not just one specific coin (bitcoin), but the entire cryptocurrency as a whole. Therefore, I think that without bitcoin there is no crypto-currency market.

Most likely after the bitcoin will die and the rest of the coins. Or, if some of the altcoins will significantly exceed bitcoin and technology, and cost, the market will be able to function without it. But the probability of this event is very small.

Bitcoin is not the heart of Cryptocurrency, so if it's dead, then Crypto is still in development. Do you find that what determines the existence and development of Cryptocurrency is that of investors? They are the heart of Cryptocurrency, and if they exist then it still exists, evolving.

To my mind, btc will survive and it will replace other coins on the market. As for me, btc and ether will remain on the market while others will disappear from the market with time

death of bitcoin means the death of all that was associated with cryptocurrency and blockchain

the other coin will replacing bitcoin, than be number one like bitcoin.
for people that try to just make profit, they will create new çoin for their income. its easy if everybody colaborate to increase it value. but, maybe for expert, this is big deal, because bitcoin like pillar for cryptocurrent

And besides, bitcoin is like a dollar. It was, is and always will be. Altcoins courses are rated according to its, its the most protected. Coin hasn't yet come up better bitcoin.

Today, there are some very good crypto currencies that are high-tech. But, if they really were as good as you describe, then no one would need Bitcoin anymore. All currencies represented in the crypto market have their own problems. In addition to the individual problems of each currency, I would like to add common main problems due to which cryptocurrency is sufficiently isolated from the real world:
1. Scalability for tasks of a real level of complexity. Companies will not switch to the blockchain until it is proven that it has scalability to solve problems in the real world.
2. The issue of regulation. In order for the world to massively switch to cryptocurrency, some kind of regulation is needed. However, regulation violates the basic principle on which cryptocurrencies are based. Finding a compromise between the need for regulation and the desire for independence will be very difficult.
Once these common problems are solved, it will become clear exactly what crypto currencies are actually needed.
And if I were you, I wouldn't underestimate Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is the king of the cryptocurrency, if bitcoin died then there is a higher chance that other cryptocurrency might died too. Bitcoin is the famous cryptos of all and it is now the common cryotos that a person has. Although cryptos are independent to each other, there are some cases that one may affects the other cryptos.

Bitcoin can't die, it's here to stay for good. But in an unlikely scenario where Bitcoin dies it's death will surely have an heavy impact on cryptocurrency but I don't think that the death of Bitcoin will be the death of cryptomania

the death of bitcoin is the same as the death of krypto mania, but something like this might be very complicated, because bitcoin is already global and bitcoin traders have enormous economic value, if bitcoin is destroyed then there will be a collapse of the economy because bankers go bankrupt, greatly impact some big businesses too will go bankrupt, so the potential of bitcoin will die very little, because many countries also feel that they have economic influence, if all bitcoin is destroyed or destroyed then a terrible effect will occur, this is very influential for global trade.

Bitcoin is not dead at this time, but Bitcoin only lowers the price, if next year many people will buy Bitcoin of course the price will increase, so in my opinion don't think negatively for Bitcoin Because if we look at the history of Bitcoin in 2014, prices are like now. When prices soar then prices fall even Bitcoin always gets back up.

If bitcoin disappeared I have very strong reasons to believe that the whole market will disappear, maybe a few coins will remain with very low market caps but it's likely that there will never be an interest as great as there is right now in the technology if that were to happen, fortunately for us the chances that bitcoin disappears are very low so that is something that should not worry you.

Right, trust and be positive that bitcoin in the future will not go down cause bitcoin will improve and more people will interest to join in investing in cryptocurrency and even average person can understand to use bitcoin easily.  I believe that bitcoin will go in highest level value in the future.

I think this will not happen, because bitcoin have good platform specially in payment transaction mode. We know bitcoin now is drop down in the market, but if you see from past year,, bitcoin now have increase value and bitcoin now is strong. Many people know about bitcoin all over the world.

But did the bitcoin die ? What is the date and time of its death ?  For your information bitcoin did not die not ever once or twice because the decrease in its price is only a cause of correction or crash as what other's said .

But even if we say that bitcoin had died,  other cryptos wont still be affected because they are totally different in terms of usage  and other purposes .

Bitcoin will not die! But such a collapse raises doubts and distrust of the cryptocurrency in general. How not to analyze, do not guess when the bitcoin will grow and how much. But grow up!

Bitcoin is a digital platform on which the economy of the future will be built! Bitcoin is all ahead.

From the RFI, DARPA is also seeking deeper insight into the idea that participants in permissionless distributed protocols behave with their economic interests at heart. In this regard, the DoD agency is interested in “methods that leverage rigorous economic notions to advance theories of security for distributed, permissionless computation protocols.”

Additionally, DARPA is also seeking the means by which the unintended or intended centralization of a distributed consensus protocol can be analyzed and/or addressed. This is in recognition of the fact that permissionless distributed protocols may have certain aspects which are centralized and this may impact the security of the protocol, regardless of the theoretical guarantees.

if in my opinion. no bro. because not all cryiptocurrency depends on the future of bitcoin. but they are one with the other trying to be the best cryiptocurrency. and loved by the world community .

maybe what you say is true and in my opinion crypto currency will remain as long as there are investors themselves for the future we all cannot know for sure its development

bitcoin isn't dead even though nowadays it often experiences a continuous decline, because there are still many people in this world who still believe and use bitcoin. and other crypto must also follow bitcoin because bitcoin is the benchmark for other crypto

I don't think that btc is going to die in the nearest future as well as cryptomania. To my mind, it is better not to panic and to invest in coins like btc. they can bring much profit in the nearest future. To my mind, it is the best way to earn)

if bitcoin is really dead then everything related to crypto will also die because I see the majority of all altcoins following bitcoin in all things, even the price also follows the price of bitcoin. even I think blockchain will also die.

I'm not sure if bitcoin is easy to turn off, bitcoin is a strong coin and they can always rise even though there are many problems that hit Bitcoin. Bitcoin can only die if the internet network and an investor do not exist in this world.

I think that is clear. indeed the existence of all crypto depends on bitcoin. because here bitcoin has played an important role in development. so anything that happens to bitcoin will definitely happen to other coins.

I love the "Trust the tech" thing you said. It's really what drives us up to this point about the crypot in general and not in overall the financial gains it can lead us. The financial potential has been done with the hype from last year as it can only give us the a realistic one just like what Vitalik said.

Bitcoin will not die. I also think like as the specialists say "Bitcoin has been overpriced throughout the year"

At the beginning of 2017 the price of Bitcoin was $ 972,95 and then we witnessed the great climb on December 16, $ 19.535,70

We need to learn and understand what is happening. Bitcoin was born to give opportunities for a new economy. On our part, we can build it.

It is worth reading the following article and draws your own conclusions.

https://smartereum.com/43217/bitcoin-future-forecast-will-bitcoin-hit-bottom-at-3000-heres-what-cryptocurrency-experts-have-to-say-btc-news-today/

If it happens that bircoin will be dead it can not kill the cryptomania world , because it is not only bitcoin that composes the cryptoworld but there are many altcoins that are surviving and might replace the throne of bitcoin, but the death of bitcoin are just mere speculations of people ,I think bitcoin and cryptocurrency has a longer way to go especially if the world really accepts and adopt this crypto technology.

What you say can be true especially coins that come from mining, except centralized coins created by banks such as Ripple for example.
If we pay close attention, every new coin that appears, always seems to drop the coins of its predecessor, with the pretext that the innovation it carries can work better than its predecessor. For example, coin A will kill coin B, coin B will kill coin C and so on like that, indeed this thing can be said to be reasonable, because their nature is decentralized meaning that all conditions will return to their users, because only they who can determine the good and bad performance of cryptocurrency. I think it's time for us to abandon such assumptions, now we have to think more mature and don't let the coins we're proud of continue to decline in price.

In essence, the creation of Bitcoin was the beginning of the crypto world. And all those "high-tech currencies" and all developers and all traders are obliged to the creators of Bitcoin and Bitcoin itself. Don't forget about this invaluable contribution of Bitcoin. I am sure that many smart people do that. That belief in Bitcoin will not allow it to disappear. There is not a single real reason why Bitcoin can wait for the end now.
But the high-tech nature of other crypto currencies still doesn't make them even equal to Bitcoin. Therefore, now to discuss the issue of the future "superaltcoin", which will take the place of Bitcoin irrelevant.

I think if Bitcoin were to die out then this would not be the end of cryptomania since I think that its lead role would be taken my another coin and crypto will survive its fall.

Bitcoin is responsible for the cryptos boom and without it the crypto market is useless. The only way the crypto market to take off from bitcoin is if there would arise in the future some other altcoin that would face the the power of bitcoin.

It can surely affect a lot, more coins will lose its value, If ever Bitcoin become dead (which is not possible now) I think a new coin will become a base coin and when that new king of the market reach very good results people will surely come back to the original prime coin which is Bitcoin.

Bitcoin has the platform that most of the people in crypto hub are already familiar with, I don't think they will leave the platform just like that.

Bitcoin has been the benchmark of almost all other cryptocurrencies, as the most influential and popular cryptocurrency from across the world, I think its death can definitely affect the death or downfall of cryptomania. At some point, I believe that if its going to happen, a new evolution of cryptocurrency is set to take place. However, I don't think Bitcoin's game is over, it has come so far and it will certainly sustain its dominance. Let's all strongly support and promote not only for its increasing demand but in spreading awareness on how truly beneficial Bitcoin is.

Altcoins have their own technology, even if Bitcoin is worthless. Altcoin technology will not go anywhere.

This is not true, altcoin technology is not only "mee too coins" and "reintention of wheel". It can also work as a more powerful pipe than bitcoin has. Realize how slow and crappy bitcoin network is.

It's different, bitcoin and crypto. They are different. Crypto is bigger than bitcoin, bitcoin is part of crypto. It's clear to be understood right? So, if only someday bitcoin die, it doesn't mean crypto will also die. Crypto has more form, unless all the type die to. But, bitcoin will never die, it will have its bright day soon, even though the situation now seems uncertain for that, but I believe the worst day and the best one will take turn. 

If the bitcoin curshes more all the cryptocurrencies take big hit and would die.. There is no connections with the bitcoin and altcoins market, those are seperated but actually it is in the just one market. So when the bitcoin price falls the altcoin markets falls too. And i don't know why 2 markets instead of one. I have millions of unanswered questions and every new day i am loosing my beliefs to the bitcoin and the cryptocurrency..

I still think that all altcoins are very dependent on what position bitcoin will occupy. It is still the leader among all coins, and its fall or complete disappearance will have a negative impact on all existing cryptocurrencies.

Assuming worst and BTC reaches 0, alts will be literally dead... for a while but after that they will probably start recovery. People will find something else to replace it, show must go on.

Yes and no at the same time. If Bitcoin dies, then cryptomania will die. BUT! This is most likely not going to happen. On the contrary, Bitcoin will be developed and implemented in other areas. As for assertion, it will disappear over time. It simply will not make sense when Bitcoin is used everywhere.

To be exact, Bitcoin and altcoins are actually crypto, and their nature is no different. The only difference is that Bitcoin is the world's first crypto, so Bitcoin has formed a strong consensus. Consensus maintains the price of Bitcoin will not collapse.

nope industry is still in its beginings we have to wait till bitcoin, short term thinking, pump and dump trash, and pow garbage, leaves the space.

At the moment almost everything is tied in with bitcoin, ripple might be slightly uncoupled but when bitcoin fell xrp eventually followed. Cryptomania will be gone but crypto will still exist

But did he die ?  If it is  , then we can safely say that cryptomania is also dying but currently they are still alive and kicking .

Btc and overall cryptos were too useful to be forgotten by the public .  if there are the one that can die , then that is some scam coins with no real purpose on why they are built   

I don't seem to understand why everyone saying btc dead and all sort , if the price dip and because of that many are crying like this then it is no a force to buy or use bitcoin , you can leave the dead alone and let it rest but post here and there for no actual reason than fud is definitely out of it, bitcoin is not dead and will never , u all are expecting up every time and never think of it going side way too which is normal and cause of greedy many people buy in when it was about going down and noobs reason too but have to have faith in what you are in to so hold and believe cause the price will never call you to say am about to pump to new ath when its time comes.

I dont believe bitcoin will be death. many people said bitcoin is old cryptocurrency with old technology, but like gold, its always have a value and many people believe gold is safest investment. I think bitcoin will become digital gold

Bitcoin is held in the first place not because bitcoin is the founder of cryptocurrency, but because there is a demand for it, many investors are interested in bitcoin because with it you can easily earn in their opinion, but if bitcoin dies, then all investors will simply switch to another altcoin.

Knowing the fact about bitcoin and its relation with altcoins can give one person enough insight that even bitcoin will end up, altcoins can be able to survive the market obstacles despite of bitcoin dead. We know how potential and influential bitcoin is but it is not the only coin that crypto people wants. There are more altcoins that supported by the investors. Still crypto market will go on.

I think we can call this time as sleeping time.  8) All market has tired. And we are resting, sleeping and enjoying. Soon everthing going to change. We will start work again. Get ready for sleepness nights, mobile phone charger and say goodbye your social life, friends even some family members... This time we are going to try reach to moon :) It won't be easy but will be funny!

The next question is how long do they fall asleep? how long does it take for them to rest?
Is their sleep the beginning of death?  :D :D

I don't think bitcoins are going to die.

Bazaar Expert (https://bazaarexpert.com)

Actually if  within the occasion that bitcoin will be dead, unquestionably I would say there will be a big negative affect within the crypto advertise since btc is continuously the standard in each showcase development since btc and alts are correlated with the other. In any case, in my supposition, there's no plausibility for btc to die within the current situation since btc is doing good performance within the showcase and it is still getting superior and way better and increasingly individuals and adoption of BTC also rise.

Since it pretty much carries the cryptocurrency name to the public, there is a high tendency that if bitcoin were to die, people's insights and opinions about cryptocurrencies could change for the worst. And that's probably the reason why most banks out there attack bitcoin solely, since they knew that if the bitcoin hype were to die, the ones that came along with it will too eventually.

Shut Up you F*cking Scammer , you have posted 9 of the same post in just 1 Hour?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3193498;sa=showPosts

maybe you mean "Have you been Scammed 2,000 in just 60 seconds of being Fool"?  that is much better to hear than gaining 3,200 $

But you will die first before bitcoin does? because this coin will serve even our 3rd generation until the last drop has been mined and there is the right time to assess if this will continue or will gone.

Why should cryptocurrency disappear if something happens to Bitcoin? I don’t think that altcoins will not be able to exist without bitcoin. Now they have become quite strong and can already exist autonomously. With the advent of stablecoins, altcoins may be paired with them or other top-end top coins. If there is no longer a single coin's price dominance, it may be for the better.
Another thing is that bitcoin is not going to disappear anywhere and these are only our fantasies.

There are some cryptocurrencies that can take the crown if bitcoin were to go down guns blazing (knock on wood). What I mean by that is bitcoin has been in the cryptospace for a decade or so and along the way there are other that followed suit so I think that even if bitcoin were to die, people can just migrate to other cryptocurrency and make it get big but I doubt that they will be able to do what bitcoin did in a decade.

As we all know other crypto currency was created because of bitcoin thus I think if bitcoin die then the whole crypto currency will die because they made by the power of bitcoin however since bitcoin is very popular now and its user are so many right now, so I think nothing to worry about that because if many people who use bitcoin in  their daily life no reason that bitcoin will die.

The life of the crypto currency is in the people who use it and considered it as money.

Well, even though the foundation of the crypto community relies heavily on the existence of bitcoin but with the exception of the bitcoin connection, these crypto are still interlinked, ethereum and USDT are very classic examples of interconnecting with nearly the entire crypto market, so as soon as bitcoin fall to death, they are great alternatives to keep the market from collapsing badly. The loss in investment will be quite large with the death of bitcoin, don't expect this to happen, just believe this is a fantasy in your spare time

I don't think that if Bitcoin disappears (which I don't believe) it will mean the end of the whole crypto market. Blockchain technology is gaining momentum in many companies in various fields of activity and many of them have their cryptocurrencies used for various purposes.

Certainly if Bitcoin "dies" it will have a big impact, but it will not be the end of the crypto market - in my opinion.

Altcoins have already got used to and strengthened in this market, and, in my opinion, they may well continue to exist on their own if something happens to Bitcoin. It cannot be denied that this will be a big shock for this market, but it will continue to exist. But I don't see any serious concerns for Bitcoin yet. So far, this is all at the level of thinking about possible events.

You have created this thread in the peak of dumping of market , when Bitcoin and altcoin is swimming to Bloody Market.

So i can't blame you from thinking like this.

What will happen is still depend to the people who Uses crypto , But more or less before this happen surely there will be another great coin to take over.
I also do believe in Satoshi's Visualization .

None of us think of this , Only you are making this worst as an issue , so tell that to yourself i think?
