Title: What coin will surpass bitcoin?
Post by: bradleyb5155 on August 20, 2014, 02:00:48 PM
I think bitcoin will stay relevant for many years to come,
However I also think that we will see a new crypto coin surpass bitcoins market cap within 3 years.
Im am unsure of the coin, but it is obvious we live in a world that sees many fads, fade in and out.
Not to mention bitcoin is far from perfect, with other coins proving to provide a better system.
What do you think? What kind of "marketing" campaign is it going to take to surpass bitcoin?

It makes sense that someday another "better" coin could come. Speaking for myself, I would not even consider using another system unless it....

1. Is open source.
2. Is a distributed, decentralized network.
3. Has no pre-mine option.
4. Has an unchangeable and limited supply.
5. Is accepted more widely than bitcoin. 
6. Is based on stronger encryption than bitcoin.

Only time will tell.

However I also think that we will see a new crypto coin surpass bitcoins market cap within 3 years.

Unlikely, but I suppose anything is possible.

Im am unsure of the coin, but it is obvious we live in a world that sees many fads, fade in and out.

Bitcoin has some advantages that make it "stickier" than a typical fad.

Not to mention bitcoin is far from perfect, with other coins proving to provide a better system.

I haven't seen any alts yet that provide any material improvement over bitcoin.  Some offer something different, but I haven't seen anything that I'd consider to be "better".

What do you think? What kind of "marketing" campaign is it going to take to surpass bitcoin?

I don't think it's going to happen.

A coin will only surpass bitcoin if it offers something new and revolutionary so it wont be any of the current coins. If one did come along maybe whatever it offered could be implemented into bitcoin as well.

The first coin that is actually better than Bitcoin in a substantial way and implements this strategy for initial coin distribution:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563925.0

may have a chance of actually giving Bitcoin some competition.

Peter may have singlehandedly killed off all past, current and future alts that do not use this method of initial coin distribution, including  Ethereum.  He is my new hero. This also has the potential of eliminating most of the incentive to make new alts for the pump and dump of it and reducing the entire alt space to serious contenders only.

Than maybe Monero ?
Nope.

Actually I can answer all posts like this just once:

Quote
Than maybe <insert any current alt>?
Nope.

If any coin was going to better Bitcoin it would have happened by now. Just look at all the alts and that's because they offer very little difference. A brand new coin would have to come out with something completely unique that Bitcoin couldn't really incorporate.

I would guess that in 500 years there will be no bitcoin. But for all I know it could be the worlds standard currency.

I don't know what that is? It would have to become more accepted than bitcoin.

While a next gen crypto might pass Bitcoin in adoption, even total marketcap, I don't think we will ever see any other coin going to +$1000 each.

All the main contenders (NXT, Ripple, Etherium) have such a large number of total coins that it is unlikely any of them would even pass $10 each, let alone $1,000.

I do not think it is going to happen. Unless the coin crosses the usability barrier for common consumers and is adopted early by major retailers.

Essentially, bitcoin already has the latter. I think one of the major problems with wide acceptance is the difficulty buying bitcoin. We need relaxed FenCen requirements and/or a major credit card company to stop chargebacks for crypto purchases that can be verified via blockchain easing on the anti-fraud requirements (<- this is probably never going to happen)


Title: Re: What coin will surpass bitcoin?
Post by: MaxDZ8 on August 20, 2014, 05:32:36 PM
Surpass BTC... in what terms?
Market cap? I don't think so. What BTC is: a replacement for long-distance, at-least-2-zeros transactions, also compatible with a lot of internet services... but too slow for brick-n-mortar. In terms of adoption it will be surpassed in the near future.

The extra privacy of cryptonote coins could be their driving force... or their biggest problem. For more traditional solutions, I see multi-pow as a step forward in building something meant to last.

None coin is accepted more widely then btc. Few coins have all the rest and some also things that btc cant copy.
Right now there are many currencies on world. So no worry for coins that will work well and be of some use.

There's nothing wrong with having complex features under the hood, but that's where they belong. Under the hood. I downloaded the Bytecoin wallet recently. What average person in the street is going to have any clue how to use a command-line interface? The only way cryptos will gain any kind of public following is if they simplify the wallet even more, but still allow advanced users to use the full interface. Stick the current wallet under an "advanced" setting, and focus on simplifying the wallet so much my gran could understand it

I very much doubt marketing will do the trick, but fundamentals can. I doubt a POS coin will do this but another POW coin that improves on XBT can.

6. Is based on stronger encryption than bitcoin.

XMR (Monero) meets all of these requirements except for 5. If XBT hits the 1 MB blocklimit wall before something is done then 5 can also fall. Add to this built in privacy, fast 1 min blocks, etc., and we have a potential winner here.

Surpass in market cap? That's possible, in fact it already happened (well, sort of) I remember DOGE in its early days being 1st on coinmarketcap for a few hours or so, simply because someone bought small amounts at ridiculous price. Market cap is important indicator but can be very deceptive short-terms.

Ironically it's not really in any altcoin's or investor best interest to surpass bitcoin. Let's say that everybody jumps from bitcoin to other, better altcoin, and then jumps from that coin to yet another one that is even better, and so on... The crypto currencies market as a whole would lose any stability. No one would invest significant amount of $ in any coin knowing that it can become worthless overnight if a new 'currently best' coin is released. That's why bitcoin is still number one, despite all the faster, more secure, better features alts.

As someone said, bitcoin doesn't have to be perfect, all it needs is to be 'good enough'.

This is very true; however if Bitcoin does not address the 1MB blocksize limit via a hard fork, it will not be "good enough" once we reach this limit likely within 12 months.

    (BOB) Dobbscoin is the Officially Approved crypto-currency of the Church of the SubGenius (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius), a TWENTY+ Year old UFO 'parody religion/SEX Cult' that targets many better known belief systems. The Church of the SubGenius teaches a complex belief system that focuses on the clip-art Deity, J. R. "Bob" Dobbs, and shines the light upon A Global Conspiracy bent on stealing your Slack. Of course, what 'religion'/Cult would be complete without UFO's, ..tons of SEX and a grand Armageddon scenario.  More: Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius#Deities)

You're probably thinking about Auroracoin; it was not created by a country, just by an independant developper from that region who thought it was a good idea (and the market agreed with him for a while).

In many years once the goverment sees that bitcoin is not going away mabe they will try make their own coin so they can still have a small bit of control ova what happens in the finance of their own country. I think one country already tried this and even gave some coins to all residents but it failed because everybody dumped their coins in the 1st week or somehing.

You're probably thinking about Auroracoin; it was not created by a country, just by an independant developper from that region who thought it was a good idea (and the market agreed with him for a while).

There are many reasons for Auroracoin down fall.

Lack of support from local citizen is one. Getting attacked by 51% attack is another major reason.
I was thinking about Auroracoin, thanks for clearing that up. I didnt know they suffered a 51% attack though, thats interesting.
Could anyone mine that coin or only residents from that country?
You say the country didn't start it so who paid for all the coins sent out, it must have cost something?

Surpassing bitcoin? Currently Bitcoin doesn't have a real competitor. Litecoin will hang around for sure. I also like the concept of Primecoin. Everything is possible, but I don't think that Bitcoin can be outranked any time soon.

something like MaidSafe (an encrypted P2P internet) may make Bitcoin obsolete, as it has an integrated coin that doesn't require mining/proof-of-work or even a blockchain, thus it will scale well and offer a lot more privacy (i.e. a true e-cash).

Bitcoins shit, it's slow and  hard to get for non techy ppl, and as for adoption it has had how many years to establish adoption? there are other coins right now that are leaving BTC in the dust in innovation, seriously if you think BTC will be top dog forever your delirious, myspace syndrome i will call your disorder.

The other crypto coins are too less in value. I have some hope with stellars, although they can't be mined currently.

The masses choose the technology. It isn't the superior that will dominate or survive the market.

I'd look for superiour anonymity. Maybe not to replace bitcoin, but to be used alongside it.

It would take at least 3 years until that may happen. Maybe something like NXT or an improved Syscoin.
