What do you think which will be the best alternative of bitcoin in 2018? Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Verge or Zcash?

That depends on what you're trying to do.  Do you want BTC profit or are you trying to look for your 'next Bitcoin'?  If it's the former, you can trade anything that's trending up that has decent volume and liquidity.  If it's the latter, then hold Monero and Litecoin.  IMO.

If you are thinking so far about to find the alternative for the bitcoin itself. AFAIK bitcoin fork coin just like bitcoin cash can become bitcoin alternatives but all of these tokens were started from the bitcoin and caused by the bitcoin problem with its scalability and then the more people try to make another improvement that planted in the new altcoin or blockchain.

Bitcoin have a lot of miners and big community. Alternatives currently not.

I guess in 2018 Bitcoin will surprise us all, when price will go to $100k. Maybe this time will be spring.

The success of Bitcoin in recent years is undeniable, but will the success be repeated in 2018? Of course difficult to predict. Given the proliferation in 2017 that is almost over, the alternative is certainly now a good time to choose a potential crytoin investment in 2018.

Buy doge chinese will buy this coin hopefully this year will the doge's time to shine.

This is not the first time i have heard someone predicting the jump in dogecoin but i would like to know, on what basis are you claiming that ? i mean why would they go for doge ?

I think it might be ETH, ETH is the smart contract. It actually affects the whole cryptocurrency market, so it's possible to go beyond bitcoin.

I'm completely overhelmed with so many possibilities, so I feel a little paralyzed in my decision.
But in the next days, I'll choose a direction. We'll see.

Yes, ETH may be the best option, because at the moment, people only recognize ETH in addition to bitcoin, but don't recognize other altcoin.

The best alternatives to bitcoin are Eth and Litecoin IMHO. I think you will see NEM and NEO have a strong 2018 as they both have a lot of great things to offer.
Looking forward to seeing cryptocurrency grow and become stronger in 2018.

Depends. If you want to make profit there are so many alternatives. Waves stratis iot ethereum etc are my favorites.
If you want faster transactions and a better blockchain etc. Waves is a good solution.

For bitcoin value, I can not put my finger because bitcoin is mostly likely going to rise beyond expectations but talking in terms of alternatives as per uses, I see litecoin playing that role because they both have the same script.

I don't like bitcoin cash but now it looks like the best BTC competitor due to fast transactions and low tx fees. But unfortunately it has the founder in opposite to the original BTC.

If you are talking in terms of price then I do not think that any of these would actually surpass the price of bitcoin. However it seems like that the marketcap may be breached by ripple or etherium in the very near future. Only time will tell for sure and when this will happen.

I think from above list Ether can be the alternate because Ethereum is an open software platform based on blockchain technology that enables developers to build and deploy decentralized applications.And now a days you can see many many ICO coming with Ethereum platform.And Ether can touch 1500$ in 2018. And you can add other coins I will also  prefer Ripple (XRP), Cardano, NEO.This all altcoins can perform well in 2018 as bitcoin performed in 2017.

Ripple. end of !   ;D

It is true but in the work will feel boring if done in a monotonous manner. Therefore there are many options created altcoin so that we can make an alternative choice in this crypto world. it's the best bitcoin right now but it does not mean we're just inside it. Do trading and investment also in altcoin so we have a backup when things that are not in want to happen.

Litecoin sounds just like Bitcoin so that coin might be the one that can match against Bitcoin if given the chance to do so.

Cardano (https://coincodex.com/crypto/cardano/) has loads of potential, but it won't pass Bitcoin. It has too much mainstream traction, but it will get closest IMO.

its hard to tell especially now when alot of people believe the rise of any coin is practically influenced but be as it may, Ethereum seems to be a good alternative to altcoin which have great prospect to be the best alternative coin in 2018. just a day to the new year the price of the coin has pump up above 5% of its initial price. LTC also take everybody by surprise late last year and could also be altcoin to watch for this year.

I think all these crypto currencies are able to show good growth in the coming 2018.
Ripple has already grown several times and came in second place, ahead of the Ethereum.

None of the above,Neo,Vib,THC with Dope,Cann are my bets,invested all of my portfolio with this sleeping giants.

I think BTC, LTC, DASH..etc.. have grown past what the NEW investor is comfortable in paying.
I look for a huge jumps in the < $1 tokens/coins.
I personally am holding Ripple, Verge, and Lumens

i am holding Ripple, Miota XD

Litecoin has growing market support and has been one of the branded altcoins. It is fast, safe and cheapest digital currency to transact with and soon be able to transact bitcoin via the litecoin blockchain. Been considered as one of the most innovative altcoins in 2017.

Ripple
Ethereum
Stellar
NEO
Cardano
BCash
Ethereum Classic

any of these can be used to invest in or trade and see some profit in long term.

The best altcoin this year are the underdogs like Dogecoin, Verge, Cardano, Bitshares etc.
Those are top altcoins that priced as low as a dollar but their market capital is high and yet promising coins.
It's not too late to invest into these coins because they're more affordable than most top Altcoins in the market.

Or it could crash since most are now discovering what a crapcoin Bitcoin really is

Ethereum like have always said is the best coin in crypto blockchain. Already competing with bitcoin.
However I see icon icx boldly challenging bitcoin and ethereum in the near future.

The only coin that works for me is Oyster Pearl PRL, I'm holding a dozen coins but it's only Oyster has good price
And it made me millionaire at the moment im my local country currency.
People should start to recognize Oyster coin that revolutionize web ads in order to maximize their advertising with a lower storage fee. This kind of project is indeed a state of the art idea.

I don't really think Bitcoin will hit that $100k mark this time. There's a lot of new Altcoins that could break Bitcoin's dominance in the future. People would prefer to invest into other Altcoins that will guarantee price increase than Bitcoin.

Yes exactly. There are several altcoins that are so much better than the shitcoin Bitcoin.

Btw people are referring to altcoins as altcoins because Bitcoin was the first. Once Bitcoin dies and go down, are altcoins really altcoins? They all should be called cryptocoins if you ask me

Invest in anything that has good tech and that can be  used in our society, also look at coins that have good popularity just like Ripple or Ethereum.

It will be quite hard to find a bitcoin alternative, because bitcoin has come a long way. Though you might want to compare it to Bitcoin cash but it won't still be. Some people are predicting that Bitcoin Cash will serve same purpose as Bitcoin and have a more higher value than it but I doubt it.  For me, I think Ethereum will make more impact, and soon enough, will be replaced for BTC hopefully with low transaction fee.

Yes, I also like the idea of Ethereum or Litecoin. But today's realities are such that the favorite is Bitcoin cash. Not a ripple, even though it shows growth, namely Cash. Let's see what will happen next.

If you arsking for very great alternative its basically clone named litecoin lol. On the other hand if btc is gold, ethereum is silver and ethereum can hit nicer prices than bitcoin even.

For me Ethereum is the best coin afer bitcoin and I am pretty sure on that 2018 will be the year for ethereum because it going very good from last many months and good developments are going in their platform and I am sure it will grow huge in 2018 and those who will be holding will be very happy. Other coins which you mentioned are also very good but for me Ethereum is the best after bitcoin.

It depends very much on what you want to do with the coin. If just "get rich", all fair and good projects will do okay as soon as the money stops leaving the crypto scene.
I just want to add to the list Monero and Waves, since I think that nobody did this yet.

Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple are top

An alternative to bitcoin can be considered only an etherium (provided that they solve their problems with scalability) and perhaps even a lightcoin. In my opinion, these are two alternatives to bitcoin.

I would look over for this new blockchain rival rather then look up this altcoins. Im scared if the new tech would destroy blockchain this year. This will make all coin and tokens in the blockchain drop all. Beware

Definitely not verge or zcash.
ETH or LTC maybe.

I think 2018 will be all about scalability.
So projects like iota, raiblocks, and raiden will start to shine.
At this point, it is hard to tell which one will take over.
I think by the end of Q2 2018, we will start to see a couple projects gain a lot of momentum.

I love btc, but I really think this year is it for bitcoin.
It's growth is unsustainable, and on top of that, it just istn't scalable.
It is basically unusable for small transactions, we are looking at $20 fees now.
And there hasn't been a fork that the community agrees on yet.
The tech is 10 years old, it's time for something better to replace it.

of all the coins you mentioned above and with the addition of monero and waves can be used as an alternative coin to be used as an investment other than bitcoin, but I feel I have to prepare a lot of money to invest in the coins because the price is high.

Many coins can claim the BTC, but I think he will be the first. Look can XVG, GBYTE, ODN, VIA,XRB. From Ethereum also get rid of not worth it

Its difficult to predict which alternative bitcoin is better, depends on how o what you want to do with the coin.

I'll say litecoin, eth, and zcash at the moment if I have to choose between them

Ethereum remains a strong alternative to BTC. The acceptance of ETH is growing by the day, especially the use of ETH for most ICOs is driving the utilization of the coin on daily basis. And the fact that it is cheaper than BTC too is an asset.

if you were looking for the particular altcoins as the replacement of bitcoin then i think difficult to figure out it because bitcoin still the best of cryptocurrencies but if you were looking for the best investment coin instead of bitcoin i think ETH is good as most people says this coin is strong even only bitcoin could able to beat volume support for ETH and this is showing that ETH would never lack of interest at least for next several years

Bitcoin has a powerful competitor - Ripple. This cryptocurrency yesterday ahead of the capitalization of Ethereum, and took second place after bitcoin.

No one needs alternative. We need just good options. I believe Ethereum and Litecoin are two of the VERY best. As per more, I completely believe that there is much more that we need to look at.

I am really into this Coinzai (https://coinzai.com/), I have being following them for last 2-3 months, and finally they are good to go with their website live and soon rest of the things will be up. I feel this is going to be pretty much revolutionary option, it just can’t be missed.

Ripple can't be a competitor for Bitcoin, it's a different beast.

It's completely centralized and the number of coins can be increased in any moment...

Probably true ETH is quite popular right now, and all possibilities can happen. But I think the value of ETH is still a lot of comparison of different values. so what may be ETH beyond the bitcoin value in the near future?

cardano and ripple are good coins for the long run,they are also very cheap to aquire

Yep, Bitcoin is really the best coin,no coin can replace the position of bitcoin because firstly btc is appeared for a long time, and it becomes more and more popular all over the world which  makes many people trust on it. Secondly,bitcoin is predited to have a bright future which make most of us feel safe. However, if you compare bitcoin and Ethereum, you will find the speed of Ethereum growth is particularly potential. So I think Etherum is the best alternative of bitcoin in 2018.

The Ethereum network itself should be improved as soon as a good ICO appears, and the network immediately ceases to operate. BTC will not be so slow as it is now. I think improvements and bitcoin will come much sooner. Take into account that the bikoyin is a limited number, and the etherium is not completely clear how much will be.

Think these  Litecoin, Ripple and if you want something very cheap then Doge

Coins of the top 20 will increase in value in 2018, as among them the real technology and future projects. They will become an alternative to bitcoin

ether, definitely, a good alternative. Ripple, it seems to me, will also manifest itself. and some dark horse will shoot in 18 year. guess her ...

In the next year, there are no alternatives for bitcoin. It is the strongest crypto currency, and it will still be supported by many people, which will allow him to take the first position.
Let's see!

My bet is on pearl and Navcoin.
they are both solid project.
Pearl has seen recent growth, NAV has seen stable growth

Whey OP says Bitcoin alternative, I don't think he means some coin will take bitcoin's position.
I strongly believe Bitcoin will hold No.1 position for a long time, if not forever.

Ethereum and Stellar

For me I think the best alternatives in bitcoin for the year 2018 is the etherium nor litecoin, those altcoin shas their potential to increase its value for the next few months or in the next few years, and also they belong to top10 most popular or most used altcoin in crypto. market.

There are many good alternatives of bitcoin which are giving better returns and shows huge demand and peoples buying interest which are Ethereum, Dash, Ripple and Monero. These all coins are in top 20 list of coinmarketcap and top altcoins after bitcoin.

To me I think Ethereum will increase like Bitcoin did in 2017. Ethereum is the next Bitcoin in 2018. Watch out!

I don't think any other altcoin would be alternative of Bitcoin in 2018. It is the first best cryptocurrency to hold always. Although there are many altcoins available for buying which have huge potential to grow-up like Ethereum, Dash, Ripple and Monero. These are in demand of peoples and can give better returns in 2018.

I seriously dont understand why people put so much trust into coins that can do nothing but be used for trade (and that currently aren't even being used for that). In my opinion they are at a great risk as they will be sold quickly off when market corrects. 
In my opinion you should invest in a real world project that is more than just a trading coin, with the few exceptions of ETH and BTC which are the main ones all people use to buy into the crypto world.

I am convinced that blockchain technology to transfer money is the way to go, but I am sure the big banks (or even other large existing corporations) will easily come up with cryptocurrencies that will be the new norm and much more useable and easier deployed through their existing networks than any of the projects we see today. Could be Facebook if rumours are true that they will start their own, who knows. But imagine a large bank, dont you think they could easily copy XRP or any other currency, or even do it better? Of course there will always be demand for a "dark" privacy coin such as Monero or similar ones being developed. But do you want to put your energy in something that might be illegal? (If it interests you, look at XSPEC)

Rather look at projects that can actually have a revenue. There are many good ideas out there, most of them are already in top-100. These are projects where many people will HODL even during market corrections because they believe in the projects. People HODL'ing means less panic sale = less market drop.

I could be wrong. But if I were you, dont invest more than 1/3 in coins. Better put them into projects. Personally I have stakes in e.g. OAX, NEBL, SUB, AMM and so on. But there are quite a few of them. I believe picking the ones with lower market cap but still with a finished product reduces the risk of buying them at over price which might cause a loss when market corrects, which I am sure it will do one day. (Perhaps what we are seeing now?)

Alternatively to bitcoin, bitcoin white can become, well, what in our world everything is possible, the platform will be rolled out under ICO, transactions run fast, the network does not have such workload, in the future we'll see

Ethereum and ripple are the best alternative of bitcoin because the value of these both crypto currencies has been increased by 5 times this year. So if the growth of these coins continues then at the end of this year these both altcoins will be the best alternative of bitcoin

Hm, I don’t think that there will be any alternative of bitcoin in 2018 or at anytime in the future. I mean you guys do really know that bitcoin market cap is around 300 billion dollar which is not achievable by any altcoin yet. I mean they could try to reach out that mark but before they do they will get collapsed as bitcoin will start showing up its head up there. Besides this people lie you and me are really sceptical about the altcoins and may not stick to them for longer than we can do with bitcoin. So i don’t like idea of saying any alternative to bitcoin.

If I have to choose one of those you have mentioned, I think to choose Ripple and Ethereum.
But it is still too early for the final forecast for 2018 th.

WOOOW thats a very interesting thing... Alternatives for BTC? There are many altcoins at the moment... its difficult to compare but do not put all eggs into one carrier haha good night or day ;D ;D

ethereum will continue to be excellent after bitcoin, actually the third after bitcoincash, maybe there are still many people talking about ripple, but looking at the current rate down trend like now, it might be thinking twice

i think Ethereum will be the best alternatives in 2018. because us we know many people use ethereum for wallet and put they money and many project use ethereum (ETH). but bitcoin maybe will make you surprise in 2018 because bitcoin in 2017 growing up so fast and we hope in 2018 bitcoin always be the best digital currency.

I Think Ethemeum has real chances. But I would be happy if XEM and Verge will be a good alternative in 2018. Will see.

The best alternatives of bitcoin for 2018 are Ethereum, Monero, Dash as all these are in top 20 list and top gainers of last year and same can happen this year also.

NEO!

There's only one coin currently that is designed to replace Bitcoin : RaiBlocks. If RaiBlocks manage to catch more eyes, it will be a killer: Instant transaction, 10k+ transactions per sounds, 0 fee and 0 inflation! Its technology is just perfect.

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM

IQeon SCAM IQeon Scam papasmurph scam be aware. I know as i owned user papasmurph before i got hacke. they needed a sr. member to post their shit.
My last post under papasmurph was 12 September about hobonickels. All my posts have been about mining and coin problems. never made any coin etc. or joined any general discussion.I started one topic before. never was that active.

This guy papasmurph has my account hacked dont give im anything he advertises. This fucker has no shame. hacks my account and uses my senior member ship to post his crap.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1680082.0

Here my orginal post about innosilicon. i can proof its my account as i have the emails about what i have posted from support innosilicon.
Everyone be warned who spend coins already.

I appreciate all help from community to take this down and help me being treated right.

My emails from Innosillicon and post match, specially about the images.

Be aware about this fucker, yes fucker he is.


I am steaming hot and hope that the admins take this account down immediately.

Check twitter Smurphpapa with original bitcointalk papasmurph avatar. that is my account.

everyone check my twitter thats my original bitcointalk profile.

I pay a 100$ bounty in BTC to get my account back. send me PM and offered solution so we can setup the payment via trusted member as escrow
   

Of the alternate types of Bitcoin I chose Ethereum. Why? Because Ethereum can run code that can facilitate the exchange of money, content, property, stock, or anything of value. These codes are referred to as smart contracts (en: smart contracts) that characterize ethereum. This smart contract can automatically execute instructions when a specific (pre-programmed) condition is met. When summarized in one sentence, ethereum is a decentralized platform running smart contracts, ie applications that run precisely programmed instructions, without the possibility of third-party downtime, sensors, fraud, or interference.

In fact at this time there are enough alternatives to overcome the shortcomings of bitcoin, I do not think that new altcoins are needed to result in the same. Rather I think that this year should be the right one to reach a consensus that makes bitcoin a functional currency again.

This could be the ideal year to MAKE BITCOIN GREAT AGAIN.  ;D ;D ;D

I think that this will be ethereum, great hopes are falling on him.
Plushon has been on the market for a long time and goes up and up.
So that my opinion is that he will be an alternative to bitcoin.
Well, there is still a Google project, maybe it will blow everyone up.

I think it is ethereum because ethereum has a smart contract that is widely used by tokens that now appear frequently. so ethereum is the best coin in 2018 and the price will increase

I don't see them as alternatives but they are bitcoin competitors. I will pick ETH and LTC because 1st, they are the most valued alts in the market today plus most of the conversions, profit from bounties, and many more alt transaction utilizes ETH and LTC the most often.

I think Etherium, and Litecoin are good alternative too.

I think best alternative cryptocurrency in 2018 Ethereum, Ripple, Zcash, DigixDAO, Bitcoin Dark. Litecoin are good coins.

I don’t know the better alternative to Bitcoin than Ehereum. At last time it fall a little but it will be recovered soon. We will see how Ethereum will reach the point of 2000USD in 2018.

there is no alternative to bitcoin but the second best option is ethereum i guess

Ethereum is much more superior than bitcoin from many perspectives.
But I don't think it is proper to call it bitcoin alternative. Actually there is no such alternative.

Ethereum is the future and the long term coin. With the ERC20 ability with Ethereum's blockchain the possibilities are endless. Creating altcoins from the ethereum blockchain is a new trending task. When we created CYPT COIN an ERC20 ethereum blockchain token, we noticed how many were now creating other coins. Ethereum has an interactive quality and that might be enough to surpass Bitcoin (BTC) in general.

Ethereum is obviously its place in crypto world. What about ripple? Some people said that it will beat the bitcoin but now it is red as all the other altcoins.

Ripple is very different from a typical cryptocurrency in the markets.
I did have some XRP but sold it last month. In my opinion, it is still overvalued with current price.

Ethereum will be the best alternative for bitcoin.  I can't replace and can't outstand bitcoin but it will be the second to bitcoin. As most of altcoins today is base on ethereum.

I agree with you, I am happy with ETH. Easy, lots of usability, simple and fairly fast transactions. Ethereum is also widely used as a source of new tokens.

AML bitcoin. 100% compliant with AML regulations

I would go for DeepOnion, it has very good features and continually evolving.

Bitcoin has introduced the concept of cryptocurrency . It is the first digital currency, it has influence on all the altcoins introduced thereafter. Bitcoin rising price and volatility along with its increasing transaction charges is a matter of concern for its investors. This increase is compelling new as well as existing investors to divert their investments from bitcoin to some other currenciy. For them altcoins are the best options. Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin are some of the best alternatives available.  Among them Ethereum is the best option, if bitcoin is gold than Ethereum is the immediate silver. So in coming years these altoins may overtake bitcoin currency.

There will emerge a few Bitcoin alternatives over the next year based on one important thing. Right now the only coins being used for real world transactions are anonymous coins. All coins like Bitcoin are considered dead coins because they can be traced. This is huge because the ppl actually using crypto right now are ppl that need to remain untraceable. Zcash and deeponion are my favorite s

In my opinion, Bitcoin and Ethereum will remain the top 2 cryptocurrency in the end of 2018.
As to the rank from 3-10, it might be very different from what we see now.

Monero

I agree with your opinion. Many people think so. Even if Ethereum can not beat bitcoin. He is still a bitcoin threat.

I think ethereum should be the best alternative for bitcoin because of wide popularity and huge acceptance of ethereum also it is one of the trusted and widely used crypto currency after bitcoin. Even ethereum blockchain holds lots of successful projects.

Yes, even most of the products are based on Ethereum blockchain. Apart from Ethereum, many people support Ripple too. Although these days most of the alt coins are not performing well but still there is hope.

Forgive me but I think that Bitcoin has no alternative and nothing else can replace it, of course Bitcoin needs to be modified, but not to create something else, but just to finish the bitcoin and everything will be fine, so we just wait until they buy equipment to integrate the lightning into the network .

Any blockchain smart contract platform is going to do well. If any one of them solves the Ethereum scaling issues there will be big money to be made.

My eyes are on Cardano and Ethereum Classic

IOHK has shown they are dedicated to their craft and their support of both these currencies

In my opinion, Ripple may grow sharply in 2018 against rumors that it is going to enter the IPO. If this happens, Ripple will overtake the bitcoin by capitalization.

Neo is interesting, as sometimes, it's referred as the Chinese Ether. Neo has Gas as a form of dividend as well. Neo should be an interesting alternative to BTC for 2018.

Considering its much lower marketcap, Neo do have a great potential to grow a lot in 2018.

I have only see ETH and NEO ;)

Imo, by the end of 2018 ETH very might possibly overtake #1. My concerns are: ETH scalability might be an issue, though. And due to possible congestion in ETH network fee could be high.

though i believe there is no any such thing which can be get close to btc or to get the pace of growth of btc. But, ETH will be in my next consideration to be best crypto currency with the best of its potentials. If we consider the historical data then ETH have achieved 300 to $1400 which is 5 time of its value. over the 1 year of time line. and btc 3k to 20k within 8 mnth . so there is no such coin which can keep up the pace of btc but, i am an optimist About eth cause there are lots of project are goin on supporting eth platform and a lot more to come this year. If investment turned up in to the favor then i think we will be able to recall our memory of btc the way it had grown from $1000 to $3000. I am kind of expecting the same thing.

and as for the lite coin i think its gonna hold the pace of eth. I ways have that vibed these are chained or positively interreleted to each other. lets hope for the best.  2018 is the year of eth.

cheerz

I prefer etherium to make investment in the future Because this type of coin has a fast price movement and is perfect for use as one place of income at any time.

Bitcoin is very influential cryptocurrency because it is the first digital currency and has the highest value among the rest of the crypto coins. Yes, the value of bitcoin plunge in the month of January but as you can see in the movement of the market, there's an increase value since yesterday and it is really a good sign. Based on my observation, Ripple, Ethereum and Ripple are some alternative coins that are the best. Ripple can be used for transactions, but the Ethereum cannot be used, however, it is a good option because of its potential.

I wouldn't consider Ripple as an alternative to bitcoin. If it is for the lower fees, bitcoin has changed to low fees now but if someone is still not satisfied with it better choose Ethereum or Litecoin.
I won't choose XVG too because it's more of a hype coin.

If i were choosing with the coins you have listed,it would be ethereum because it has a solid platform and has good community like bitcoin has,2018 would be altcoins year so i would stick to solid altcoins because bitcoin's movements are very unstable and unpredictable.

I don't think any of the coins can effectively compete with Bitcoin. They may try in the short run but in the long run Bitcoin will still remain the king that it has been. Ethereum is the only coin I can say may try to give Bitcoin a run for its money in the long run more than any other coin.

"Bitcoin alternative" does not match your opinion I think:)

This year waves and neo will make big uptrend and rise and rise..

I think NEO will emerge as winner in 2018

I think that Bitcoin is Bitcoin and no one can replace it at the moment. Ethereum is some alternative in a way, but I don't think it will be real alternative in the near future.

In all aspects, ETH is the best alternative for bitcoin in 2018. as long as ETH remains to be the second in market cap it will be the best option aside from BTC. Actually there are instances that ETh is unaffected by the drop and peak of BTC, which is a good indication. But generally, what we want is for it to increase in price in line with the increase of BTC. I can't say ripple because many have said that ripple is a stagnant coin already.

For now? I would say etherium, but Cardano is coming. I think that ADA will be THE Coin, one day.

Today most people use crypto to invest,
Bitcoin is one type of cryptococcus,
Some people believe that bitcoin is really a scam,
And people are now looking for alternative Bitcoin,
Ethereal seems to be a good alternative for altcoin that has good prospects for being the best alternative coin in 2018,
because we can sell and build products without the involvement of third party contractors,
And ethereum can also be used to build DAO.

I think ethreum will be the best alternative as of now but Cardano can be next ethreum and it will take.more time to compete with bitcoin.

Totally agree with you. Bitcon has solid reputation and all newcomers are come to the crypto community through bitcoin. So we have no alternatives.

I think it depends on what you choose. depending on your beliefs as well. if indeed you want to benefit from bitcoin yes you select bitcoin. if you want to seek trust in others I suggest you choose Ethereum and NEO. I think both coins will have a good chance in the future.

It's based on the Chinese New Year. This year is the year of the dog(e)

There is no alternative per-say. Each coin has its special use and special following. Bitcoin will always be there and will always be king. You ever hear people talk about how z-cash got them rich? No! You hear all over the news Bitcoin this Bitcoin that

Best alternatives for what? To replace bitcoin? I do not think there is a coin that is going to do that, if you mean to surpass bitcoin in market cap, again I do not think there is a coin capable of that either, but if you are talking about getting profits, then most solid altcoins should have a better year than bitcoin like what happened in the last year.

I do not think that any altcoin can now replace Bitcoin. I’d better tell you about the coins I trust more than others. These are NEO, Ethereum, Monero, Zcash and TRON. Here is the video about other cool alts:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxUACDrT9HU

XRPs. Litecoin and Ethereum These are the cryptocurrency world’s three fastest risers, and those wanting to dabble without could do worse than to snap up a few still-affordable XRPs. Litecoin and Ethereum are arguably bigger names and will set you back more, but if Bitcoin’s rise and rise is anything to go by, they could still be far from their ceiling and also represent good alternatives to consider.

I think ethereum. Because ethereum is an altcoin always behind the bitcoin. So it is suitable to be an alternative.

Bitcoin is the mother of all crypto and Altcoin price is ruled by bitcoin trend. Bitcoin investment is made on a long term basis and it would give high returns. But altcoins are mostly pumped and dumped coins and mostly investments in altcoins are made in a short term basis. I think Ethereum is the Best.

in 2018 Bitcoin will surprise us all, when the price will reach $ 100k. Maybe this time it will be spring
Bitcoin's success in the last few years is undeniable, but will success be repeated in 2018? Of course difficult to predict. Given its near-ending 2017 development, the exact alternative is a good time to choose a potential crytoin investment in 2018.

Monero is definitely a good one and NEO is also promising.

As an alternative, yeah, I don't think btc will become obsolete in that regard.

But I do think that eth will replace btc as the #1 coin "king". Of course, this doesn't mean bitcoin will just disappear.

I think about the next 3 coins:
Ethereum may prove to be the cryptocurrency of choice for many corporations, due to its smart contract capabilities and major corporate backing.
Ripple is known for its real-time gross settlement system and has been integrated into the payment networks of a handful of global banks.
Bitcoin Cash is the spin-off of bitcoin that was created when bitcoin split on Aug. 1 after bitcoin owners failed to agree on the best approach to grow the cryptocurrency’s global presence.

It may be very difficult to find another alternative in replacing bitcoin when mining But if I choose to be more dominant to eth that has price movement is also very promising So the profit will also be maximal in the future.

The biggest problem of ripple is its relationship with banks that is why many in the forum do not trust in that coin after all many of us are in here to avoid the banks and their regulations so we are not going to support a coin like that, however the fact it is in the third spot in market cap is something that has many of us worried and even for some short moments it was the second coin in terms of market cap.

I really don’t know that. Recently i just think no need to kill Bitcoin when it’s still very alive, apparently btc will continue to rise in the rest of this year. I don’t see any alternatives yet, it’s still the strongest but it’s just me..  ::)

I think that this time bitcoin will grow much more slowly and is unlikely to reach the rate of one hundred thousand dollars. However, if this happens, it is possible that such a behavior will cause a sharp rejection by some states, which, perhaps, will take a number of measures to protect their economies and restrict their circulation, or even prohibit bitcoin. We will see. However, of course, bitcoin this year should significantly increase in price.

I think ethereum can be a real competitor of the bitcoin, but the price and volume difference is still so high. Maybe not now, but I think we can see the ethereum's price as high as bitcoin's price.

In 2018 my alternative to bitcoin was Ethereum. ETH is receiving great attention from the investment community in the world and currently the value of ETH is low compared to bitcoin so its growth opportunity is better than bitcoin. 2018 tends to invest in ICO so it is great to keep ETH for long term investments and participate in good ICO projects.

ETH is very valuable also and it is different from bitcoin where in you can make dapps out of it.There are many  ICO's are being built under this platform and atill counting. Though eth cant reach thenlevel of btc as of now but it is becoming popular and useful.I think its better alsi to stock eth as bitcoin alternative as higher  growt is expected for eth.

I don't think Bitcoin has any real alternatives. But if we talking investment wise Ehereum and NEO are the closest options for good return relatively small risk, in my opinion.

I think if you miss the train of bitcoin jump inside the one of etheruem and maybe neo. But enter ether

I think the alternatives of 2018 are ethereum and litecoin because both have enough speculation in the crypto market even though the price is cheaper but can survive in a storm position, more recently the ethereum is widely used in various exchanges and exchange in the market this indicates that ethereum has begun to gain trust and will be believed to be an alternative to bitcoin as well as litecoins.

I think that the best alternative for bitcoin may be litecoin, since it has long been called an upgraded bitcoin version

For me, Ethereum will be the best and only alternative of Bitcoin for a long time. Does someone agree with me?

right now I've invested in Ethereum, on that matter I chose Ethereum because I already feel a stable profit.

It depends. what exactly do you need? fast transaction? or stronger network? or lower fees? Ethereum looks better for those things but ethereum have an idea and project. it is not a simple cryptocurrency like bitcoin. there are so many new project tokens using ethereum blockchain. litecoin's blockchain is noot strong. ripple is a p&d coin and has no technology. I dont want to comment about others. but only ethereum can be a good alternatibe to bitcoin from your list.

according to me ETH, Ripple and Zcash, and do not forget  with NEO.

they have good growth and good develop in times of bad market conditions. so I did not invest all in bitcoin, but also the altcoin I mentioned became my investment place.

Bitcoin is unique and other alts as well but there are altcoins that are totally copy cat and just improved some of the existing code on that coin.

That only coin that I'm thinking as an alternative for this year with bitcoin is also ETH.

If someone doesn't want to spend his bitcoin because it's becoming more of a store value, he/she can choose ETH.

Ethereum is an alternative coin beside Bitcoin in 2018. ethereum is more stable than others. My second alternative suggests NEO because I think it will be good in the future.

I don't think that there is a best bitcoin alternative in 2018, because I think that bitcoin will reach the 50k$ few months later, so I can tell you which cryptocurrencies that I have a faith in it. I think the ripple (xrp) will have a great potential and xrp price will increase too much this year, maybe it will cross the 20$ barrier.

I undoubtedly believe that Ripple is an excellent alternative to Bitcoin in the future. I look forward to seeing XRP pairs in every major exchange in the future. Not only is ripple stable, but the speed of its’ transactions will solve main of the issue most people have with BTC. I look forward to seeing if my prediction is correct or not.

By 2018 the bitcoin alternative I think Ethereum is the best, because Ethereum also has a token alternative now. With a token you can get Etherum, though now there is a Zcash that promises me to keep choosing Ethereum.

The best alternative coins in 2018 is Ripple(XRP).Ripple is one of the most popular and successful alternatives to bitcoin Ripple has gained traction to improve banking transaction and settlements and if bitcoin takes Four hours to settle in every transaction Ripple(XRP) takes 3.6 seconds in every transaction and i think Ripple is the best for now.

I dont agree with you because the alternative coin is not only need quick of transaction.
Ripple has very much supply and it can not be compared with bitcoin that just has 21 million supply.

Litecoin has been increasing its value, and ETH is doing the same. I believe maybe ETH can win BTC Cash in some point of this year.

Of course in crypto all is always speculation. To me , it will be 50% between Litecoin and ETH, for they are the most stable and competitive altcoin to me.
 
Now, Ripple can be a great investment, for it is cheaper and has increased its price from cents to a dollar and then to cents back again, so you can wait for ripple to fall, buy, and be confident it will raise again in no time. The problem? Ripple is not decentralized, so, can it even be considered as the same level as the other two?

a good coin alternative for 2018 is nice it seems only verge and XRP besides that I still doubt, so better use to buy them when the price is still cheap.

I really like Eth because of its significant growth. Ethereum has posted a growth increase of more than 3.700% in just one year. Although Eth price is much different from BTC. Actually if seen from its growth, Ethereum must be able to compete with Bitcoin price in the future. Eth is not able to compete with BTC, but Eth has many devotees.

There are so many alternatives of Bitcoin for trading and earning more money faster than Bitcoin. Ethereum is the best alternative for investment and trading. other Altcoins are eBCH and CTX which are good to investment.

this will certainly be an interesting part, ethereum begins to show that they are entitled in 2018.

There are also lots of alternative coins that has good potential aside from the ones you listed. Neo is good as well as venchain, lisk is doing good at the moment xlm has good partnerships and as always cardano and iota have great technology. And as for the newly ones i would go with thekey, bluzelle, nebulas and dragonchain. I am waiting for wanchain to get listed lots are waiting for it and i would definitely buy a pretty decent amount of it.

I would prefer bitcoin than any alternative currency, but it all back to yourself, look for alternative that has high volume. Might they would have many followers.

Ethereum can be a good alternative in future meanwhile bitcoin will be on the top of the list.

 There is no alternative of Bitcoin. But one can earn more than BTC by investing in Altcoins. Some good Altcoins are ETH, Waves, Stratis, Neo, CTX(CarTaxi), ACC(Accelerator), eBCH.

Ethereum is a good alternative BTC in 2018. Also Zcash I think has a great future with their anonymous features.

Right now there is no alternative of bitcoin in 2018.Bitcoin is currently the soul super power in the world of cryptocurrency.The only coin that comes close to bitcoin is ethereum.

When we talk about investments there are many alternatives that give better profits than bitcoin, but when it comes to functionality nothing beats bitcoin with its practicality and its acceptance through the world and if bitcoin were to disappear then right now there is not a single coin which will be able to fill the void left by the bitcoin disappearance.

for my own I chose Ethereum to replace Bitcoin because Ethereum has the potential to grow further in the current market price.

in this year, we will see the better rising of altcoins including NEO Litecoin and Ripple but most of them wont have the chance to catch up with Ethereum in this 2018, this year is the year of ETH, we will see the slow down of bitcoin and the common used of ETH in transactions everyday because it is much better than bitcoin at any aspects.

Bitcoin will never give in to leadership. I think that there is still no coin that can displace bitcoin. But from you listed coins I like ETH and ZEC. It seems to me that they have great potential.

eth,neo, cardano, omg are the bes alternatives for me.
also these are the biggest competitors for bitcoin

I will vote for BCH as well, it is now the only competitor for BTC, I think this year will be the one for BCH, it will pump high for this summer

for now I choose and hold Ripple instead of Bitcoin.

Alternative to bitcoin can only become ethereum. Because such a project as LTC, I think that it can not become an alternative. And if the biton command can still integrate the lightning into the network. That's all. The Alts will all die out

I also think that in 2018 bitcoin will surprise us and reach even 30000-40000 dollars. Last year there was a significant correction, but then a fantastic growth began.

In my own humble opinion. Ethereum and Litecoin are my choices that has a possibility can Bitcoin alternatives this year 2018 because those coins has a really lot more potential that other you mentions. If you don't mind I want to include NEO this was of the best coins for long term hold.

ETH and NEO are a really good competitor for Bitcoins but ADA and OMG I am not sure. ETH is 2018 most promising coin and people are believing the price of the ETH will go skyrocket. and NEO also gaining more trust from investors. But to give good competition to Bitcoin these two coins need more time.

NEO is artifically being pumped, be advised for this. It can show a significant price drop anytime. ETH is already a good competitor for bitecoin in terms of market capitalization and market value. OMG, not really; ADA maybe but not importantly.

Another one that recently had ICO is Zilliqa (https://coincodex.com/crypto/zilliqa/). It's currently 700% above ICO price but I think it has similar potential to Cardano (https://coincodex.com/crypto/cardano/).

It's at a good price to buy atm:

https://i.gyazo.com/0938ffec14e06d37ba175dc43c97244b.png (https://coincodex.com/crypto/zilliqa/)

There are also lots of alternative coins that has good potential aside from the ones you listed. Neo is good as well as venchain, lisk is doing good at the moment xlm has good partnerships and as always cardano and iota have great technology. And as for the newly ones i would go with thekey, bluzelle, nebulas and dragonchain. I am waiting for wanchain to get listed lots are waiting for it and i would definitely buy a pretty decent amount of it.

Anyone that did not bought Ethereum last year already lost the train, there are still profits to be had but nothing like what happened in the last year, you will be in a better shape if you invest in other projects, there are many other coins being developed that have smart contracts so that could be an option for those that missed the train with ethereum.

it is difficult to answer this question when you actually think. there is a continuous cash input and output. the information is refreshed in the market. The volume of money is increasing. BitCoin is coming up with new competitors. competitors trx xlm mco.

Many altcoin can be an alternative in bitcoin some of them have potential to be second best coin. And for me ethereum is the one can be alternave in bitcoin this year 2018 because this coin is become popular last year because its value rise so high until now. And i know it will rise again this upcoming year and probably it become much profitable.

yes you are true to the growing of technology and the increasing of year hence the technologically progressed and bitcoin this proven digital currency which is very good for the future with having very little availability make bitcoin become very rare and expensive. for altcoin i prefer verge and XRP.

Bitcoins alternatives in 2018 will be the Ethereum and Litecoin .Both coins are performing really well.

This is a tough question. I would hold a certain amount of Ripple and Verge for a long time. Then Ethlend and Gifto are currently my best investment.

why should there be an alternative for bitcoin so far no one can rival at the peak there is no approaching to BTC I still consider BTC is the king

There are many excellent coins which will give good profit in 2018. I would pay your attention to ETH, ADA, NEO, EOS, RDN. I consider that these coins will well grow for 2018.

Ripple
Ripple is an entirely premined currency, with a set number of Ripple tokens in existence and no possibility of more to be created. 62% of all coins are held by the consortium that designed Ripple, a complex international corporation founded by more than seventy banks and large financial organizations. As is a common theme with Ripple, this both decreases transparency and increases utility. If the non-circulating bulk of Ripple is discounted from the statistics, then there are those who will say that it already outperforms Bitcoin per unit. Due to its utility and the financial heft of the organizations behind it, Ripple is a fairly safe bet. If Bitcoin were to collapse today, Ripple would be ready to take over the market.

Ethereum
This coin has the advantages of faster transaction speed, high-powered investment, and an extremely committed development team. They also hold a novel view of the blockchain concept that changes their focus from direct commoditization to the maintenance of contracts.

IOTA
What sets it apart from other coins is its use of something called the Tangle, a blockchain derivative that attempts to improve security and transaction speed by utilizing underappreciated computer resources in the area. IOTA eschews mining and processing fees, leading to the fast and economical exchange of funds. However, the system’s stated Reliance on the IoT, or Internet of Things, strikes most computer security aficionados as something between audacious and astoundingly risky. The very nature of the IoT network is determined by the un-update ability of most of such processors.

Hey, man, I guess NEO can also soon become a very powerful crypto. Naturally, I do believe that the coolest rival of Bitcoin is Ethereum, but the market of cryptocurrency is so much unpredictable!

Bitcoin will end up at least 60% of crypto by end of 2018. Alt bubble is over. There are almost no alts with fundamentals.

Yes my votre also goes for ethereum and NEO ethereum are having huge chances because my lots of transaction happening Ethereum even ICO participation . NEO is another coin which is giving decent interest 4% per year in the form of GAS . Its really good for staking long term.

ETH and probably NEO ;)

Their can never be a n alt to BTC it is and always will be the KING

I think among the coins you have chosen to vote I prefer ETH, LTC and Zcash because we know ETH and LTC are coins that have been around since time immemorial and have known them a lot, while for Zcash I believe because they have a very project good, not only that Zcash also has a very limited total supply and of course it will make the price of Zcash to be expensive.

It's probably early to say that Bitcoin will leave the market in 2018. He already has a very strong brand and a serious history. A lot of whales have financed their investments in bitcoin. I think he will not leave until 2019

EOS has the potential as an altcoin. It has good projects and members check their whitepaper.

I am sure ethereum will be the best alternative for this year, because it has excellent potential and can affect the cryptocurrency market, and ethereum is also more stable compared to other coins.

I think that bitcoin will not have alternatives as such, if viewed from the point of view of the coin itself, and if it is a matter of capitalization, then perhaps something will appear over time that will be able to overtake it

It depends on what you are looking, if you are looking for an alternative medium of payment with faster confirmation then you could look at litecoin or dogecoin, if you are looking for a better investment that gives you more profits but it is a safe investment Ethereum could be the best choice and if you are looking for great returns maybe some of new icos could be a better pick.

The best alternative and best altcoins after Bitcoins are Litecoin, Ripple and Ethereum. You can find huge profit by investing in  these coins as these both are having good potential and has good future.

For investors, the biggest challenge is to find the right investment vehicle to place their funds. The biggest rising crypto-star of 2017 was Ripple’s XRP, according to data from CoinMarketCap. It started 2017 worth a measly $0.0065 per coin, but was valued at $2.47 by the end of the year –a Herculean 37,000% increase. Ethereum and Litecoin also performed exceptionally well in 2017. Litecoin and Ethereum are arguably bigger names and will set you back more, but if Bitcoin’s rise and rise is anything to go by, they could still be far from their ceiling and also represent good alternatives to consider. However, know that the value of digital currencies are subject to major fluctuations – far more pronounced than physical monies – and high-profile cryptocurrencies have been known to completely crash in the past.

Alternative for what? Alternative for store of value? I don't see a better option.
Alternative to fast transactions? We got a lot of fast and reliable coins. Even Doge can do that.
Alternative for investment? Pick major altcoins such as Ethereum, Neo, Waves, Vechain etc.

Ripple? No, It's not the best alternative to bitcoin. Verge? No too. ETH and Litecoin can be considered as an alternative for bitcoin.It's also my choice.

Ethereum remains a strong alternative to BTC. The acceptance of ETH is growing by the day, especially the use of ETH for most ICOs is driving the utilization of the coin on daily basis. And the fact that it is cheaper than BTC too is an asset. You can also consider the fact that Ethereum is going from POW to POS, which will be more healthy for the coin in the long run (more environment friendly).

Btc is around to stay with secondary layers and coins such as Ark. BTC will soon be able to offer similar functions to all other altcoins (to a degree) I'm watching Ark. Also consider sunbathing other than block chain. Research the dag coins.

IMHO , Cardano is challenging Ethereum and Bitcoin

Cardano is a blockchain platform launched by Blockchain Development Output Hong Kong (IOHK), led by former co-founder BitShares and Ethereum Charles Hoskinson. The platform is aimed at launching smart-contracts, decentralized applications and blockchains.

Bitcoin will not end anything the ones that are going to destroy useless altcoins are going to be the investors, most of them are only on those altcoins to obtain profits when they discover they not only are not going to get profits but that they will lose most of their money then things are going to get ugly some good alts will still survive and thrive but they will be the minority.

Let them decide what will be an alternative to bitcoin. This discussion will be going there, about dominance, replacement, throne and other stuffs. We'll read almost the same thoughts from other members here.
"This will....., next to bitcoin is ......" and so on.  :-X

it is interesting to people that the continuous change of colors on the market. The market is very attractive. but this market is king btc. there is no rival for btc  now.

I think that Ethereum because the most ICO's are based on it. I believe that ETH will grow and will cost more than $3k in this year.

I think Bitcoin Cash is a great alternative to Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin Cash will see more jobs in the future. Bitcoin millionaire like Roger Ver should give more support.

But with such high increases in the price in the last year it is almost impossible to repeat that performance for those altcoins, the market cap of Ripple for example is so big already that is unlikely it is going to outperform bitcoin by any wide margin, in fact we are seeing the coins at the top move in a very similar manner over the last weeks.

There are three best alternative for Bitcoin. I am talking about Ethereum, Litecoin and Ripple. Maybe in 2018 Bitcoin Cash will show a good result. But it is unclear. So my advice is to buy Ethereum.

bitcoin best alternative on altcoins is ethereum i guess. the others are below ethereum.
because with ethereum, you can invest on many ICO that you will gain your profit.

ETH and Ripple, I think is the best bitcoin alternative, because it has good prospects now the price is also soaring
I think this is suitable for bitcoin alternatives.

There is no alternative to bitcoin. I think there are no altcoins that can replace him.

The best alternative to bitcoin is bitcoin itself. Do not look for an alternative to bitcoin. You just will not find it. Bitcoin is unique in its kind. And bitcoin is bitcoin, and everything else is altcoyins.

Cardano is just a challenge to Ethereum and not a challenge to bitcoin since those two coins are too different and perform different functions, bitcoin is mainly a currency and a store of value and nothing more while cardano is basically trying to do the same as ethereum, however I'm not sure cardano is going to truly challenge ethereum since ethereum has been in the market for years and cardano is still a new coin that still has to prove its worth.

Their isn't any alternative for  BTC BTC will remain the king of the crypto world

I think there is no alternative of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is always the number one in this market.
Other coins will certainly rise, but they can not be an alternative to bitcoin.

This will probably be the best alt

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2856789.0

I think ethereum can be a good choice after the bitcoin. Also Litecoin can be a good choice, but I think ripple is not a promising coin. In addition to these, I think Stellar and NEO have good popularity and potential for the future.

Off course Ethereum will be alternative for BTC. It is huge now...

I think it depends on what you choose. depending on your beliefs as well. if indeed you want to benefit from bitcoin yes you select bitcoin. if you want to seek trust in others I suggest you choose Ethereum and NEO. I think both coins will have a good chance in the future.

I think that the best alternative to bitcoin would be Litecoin this coin is recently getting value in the market and hasn't had a good market capitalization enough to make it to the top and it could frequencies of the market but other than this factor I think that you Ethereum classic bitcoin cash dash – are the other options to go.

I am prefer to choose ethereum as best bitcoin alternative. I am believe ethereum have potential to replace bitcoin place as leader on market cap. Ethereum have smart contract system can use by many company and platform and it will increasing ethereum demand in the future

a pretty good alternative to Bitcoin is Ethereum. as we know by ourselves that Ethereum is the second best coin after Bitcoin. and this could be a good reason that Ethereum became a Bitcoin alternative.

for me the best alternative for bitcoin is ethereum no doubt because this two coins is very popular and high value and there are many investors investing in bitcoin and ethereum.

Ethereum is sure because Ethereum is the third largest coin in the world after Bitcoin and Ripple

I dont see ethereum as a global payment system. Ethereum is a very good blockchain project for smart contracts. Technically i dont think that i can handle world wide transaction. I think a very good alternative to bitcoin is deeponion. Its much faster, transaction fees are lower, its super fast. And the biggest point for deeponion is that it is totally anonymous. So i think its the best pivacy coin, and it will lead the chart of privacy coins very long. So i think this year will be for deeponion.

Bitcoin Cash: this alternative is not that far removed from Bitcoin itself. When Bitcoin’s market value soared last year, everyone wanted in and started investing. This created a backlog of transactions because miners couldn’t add enough blocks in time. Bitcoin Cash split off from the original back in August 2017 to solve the problem. Known as a ‘Hard Fork’, Bitcoin Cash works the same, except its blocks were increased from 1mb to 2mb of data to help speed up transactions and keep fees down. Since Bitcoin dipped, however, the price of Bitcoin Cash has gone the same way.

The volume of money is increasing. BitCoin is coming up with new competitors. competitors trx xlm mco.

There will emerge a few Bitcoin alternatives over the next year based on one important thing. Right now the only coins being used for real world transactions are anonymous coins. All coins like Bitcoin are considered dead coins because they can be traced. This is huge because the ppl actually using crypto right now are ppl that need to remain untraceable. Zcash and deeponion are my favorite

I don't think there is any alternative to Bitcoin in recent years. But what do you mean by saying that it is an increase? I think the increase. Somewhat better may be other currencies but Bitcoin is the safest.

I think that the best alternative to bitcoin would be Litecoin this coin is recently getting value in the market and hasn't had a good market capitalization enough to make it to the top and it could frequencies of the market but other than this factor I think that you Ethereum classic bitcoin cash dash – are the other options to go.

Ethereum? Ripple? Defo

Actually theres a lot of good altcoin in the market can be alternatives for bitcoin but you need to be careful for choosing I must prefer to hold EOS and MONERO this two can be more valuable in this year most people predict that EOS can be surpass ethereum in other hand monero have a good product.

Coins that are an alternative to being able to reap big profits this year I think he is ethereum and bitcoin. If bitcoin does not have a fantastic development like last year, but I think you will still get a big profit if you buy it at such a cheap price today. Because bitcoin will definitely increase its price significantly.
While ethereum, you can earn big profits also this year, according to ethereum experts have a considerable percentage increase this year. So that ethereum can create a new record for its highest achievement this year.

it is very hard to tell now because alot of people believe that the rise of an altcoin has been influenced,and Ethereum for me seems to be a good alternative to altcoin that have great prospect to be the best alternative coin.

maybe that would be a bitcoin alternative is Ethereum and so I am sure Ethereum will be good because bitcoin in these few months cannot be predicted and still decreases and with so the best bitcoin alternative is Etherum because this coin has good growth

For now, most people still expect a great deal on Ethereum, although at this time we also know it is not easy to make it happen. But the younger Altcoin like Trx, Eos or Verge took little chance this year. Probably still very far from Bitcoin, and would not be too close, but at least in percentage the profits are greater.

2018 This is the year when many Altcoins are improving quickly and well. so it would be very profitable to have a fairly high profit. Altcoin is able to be the best alternative to Bitcoin. such as EOS, Ethereum, and Ripple. they are one of the coins that have the potential to experience ever-increasing logging.

Until June, it seems we have not seen Altcoin really convincing the community to become a coin that must enter the portfolio.
But it looks like the end of the year the situation will be different, like the trend in previous years.

Nothing seems to be really an alternative to Bitcoin for this year because almost all of these altcoins are experiencing the same trend as Bitcoin. But perhaps for a longer period, Ethereum or Ripple will slightly provide a greater percentage of profit from Bitcoin.

Ethereum is in the front queue to become a bitcoin alternative. Besides the ethereum of the top coin line in crypto, ethereum is now more popular and the price is likely to increase. For the price between bitcoin and ethereum is far adrift but I think ethereum deserves to be a bitcoin alternative because he is very popular.

It is very difficult to predict which coin should be a viable bitcoin alternative in 2018. For now no one can substitute even a bitcoin alternative, bitcoin is too perfect, it's hard for other coins to match bitcoin, equating it is hard to even match. It seems impossible, which could be an alternative bitcoin.

which is approaching for the current bitcoin alternative is ethereum (ETH) but for the price Ethereum is still under bitcoin. Because Ethereum is very popular now. For now bitcoin remains number 1. But over time we do not know, maybe ETH will balance the BTC sometime in the future.

Everyone has their own opinions and tastes on their favorite coins, for example, me. I think Alternative Bitcoin for 2018 is Ethereum, Litecoin, and Neo, but the main and the best fixed bitcoin under various conditions.

There are some coins that potentially become a bitcoin alternative, in fact the price can be almost similar and more stable. But the most appropriate is ethereum, and also during this ico I follow using smart contract its eth Grin. But if you want to replace bitcoin takes a very long time or even can not. that's if they (the candidate) can still survive.

I think the best alternative of bitcoin is Ethereum, Ethereum has a large community in the market and is now the second most popular after Bitcoin, I believe the future of ETH is very bright.

2018 This lot of coins so increased and has a fairly high price. so with the presence of these coins can be a separate alternative to Bitcoin. such as Ethereum which has long been an alternative to Bitcoin. and until this year Ethereum still remains an alternative to Bitcoin.

These are the few alternative that may testify in this 2018 Litecoin because of it's persistence, Ethereum because of it's smart contracts, Monero because of it's anonymity, Verticoin the wild card,

Ethereum because it is more tested and more popular more than any altcoins. An alternative to bitcoin must be trusted by the community and have a good credibility and that can be trusted even by big companies.

Following coins can give good returns like BTC this year:

1) ETH: I expect it to give better returns than bitcoins.

2) TRON: Price has reduced after main net and thus you can get for cheap.

#Crypterium is next big thing. It allows people to pay with all type of crypto currency through mobile phone app on all existing post machine. Just have look #CRPT . You will thank me later

Bitcoin though has a high transaction fee, is still a preferred mode of exchange among crypto and fiat. The immediate alternative for bitcoin in that sector is Ethereum as many tokens now use it's platform. We've also seen NEO as a mode but the one I loved most is BCH, they have lower fees and the transactions are faster.

ETH is not exactly an alternative to Bitcoin. There is a lot of difference in the technology for both these coins. I would say that the alternative for Bitcoin includes coins such as Monero, Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold. Platforms such as Ethereum and Cardano can't be described as Bitcoin substitutes.

Indeed the price movement of bitcoin in 2018 it is pretty pathetic. I think it's best for you to play on the alternative coins in the year 2018. And I suggest to play on ethereum or ripple. The second altcoin is pretty good, and has a future. I am also very fond of both.

Among the above coins, I think a decent coin to be an alternative to Bitcoin is Ethereum, Ethereum has a huge support community so that over time I believe Ethereum will continue to increase.

Ethereum and litecoin will be bitcoin rivals. Now that more and more people are using the coins, it is possible to compete with bitcoin.
I believe that ethereum and litecoins will be a tough competitor of bitcoin, they deserve to be the current bitcoin aternatives.

Everything has an alternative. but It depends which section you are going to use it. or which type of product you want. if you want cheap and faster transection. it'll take altcoins better than btc. but like btc is the king of market. it has a great demand. it is like usd in fiat currency market. whatever coin you use to buy or sell a product. btc is always the backbone of that altcoins. so it is quite impossible to find a alternative of bitcoin i think

I don't think Bitcoin has any real alternatives. But if we talking investment wise Ehereum and NEO are the closest options for good return relatively small risk, in my opinion.

The Walton platform is a project that creates an ecosystem for business in which competing and partner firms can exist and operate. Using this technology, business gets many new opportunities that will contribute to its development.

Ethereum is the best alternative of bitcoin to me because it has potential and many investors recommend ethereum to invest for long term, you can make profit with this altcoin.

I guess the third generation blockchains with SHARDING technology such as QKC и Zilliqua will be the best alternative to Bitcoin! It seems to me that the blockchain technology is far from being at the top of its novelty and more groundbreaking blockchain can displace older ones in the market!

I think the leader won't be changed in the nearest 2 years and bitcoin will be still the king. So much money has been invested in it and so many influential people are interested in the situation not to be changed!

bitcoin king on crypto currency exchanges. there is currently no alternative to coin for now.bitcoin, which has the most valuable and the most voluminous volume. perhaps towards the end of 2018, bitcoin cash and ethereum may be an alternative.

from your list, i bet for ethereum and litecoin,,
i believe both will be the best bitcoin alternatives in this year my friend

Of course it is Litecoin. The easiest way to describe Litecoin is Through a comparison in which Bitcoin is gold and Litecoin is silver. Litecoin, like most cryptocurrencies, is based on the Bitcoin Protocol, but this currency is much easier and more democratic in terms of mining.
One of the ways of archiving, which is used by Litecoin is a different Protocol encryption, scrypt, which can be decoded using a consumer GPU.

I think there is no alternative to Bitcoin, karen The best alternative to bitcoin is the bitcoin itself, so Do not ever look for an alternative to bitcoin at this time, because we will never find it, because Bitcoin is very unique in its kind, And bitcoin is bitcoin, and that the other is altcoyin.

It seems to me there are many scenarios of the situation development but the most evident one is this in which Ethereum will become a king because it makes the half of the market go round! The main thing is Vitalik Buterin finally updated the technology of ETH blockchain itself!

Bitcoin also has its own alternative to being a coin that is very capable to rely on. because Bitcoin can go down at any time. but it would be great to have it when the market is over. because for alternatives will help us to get more profit in the future. so having it from the beginning will be very profitable.

I do not see an alternative to Bitcoin and Ether in the near future. There are the main currencies that are very strongly entrenched in the crypto-currency market.

my alternatives for this year
may choose eth,
main reason because all projects work together with attach wallet erc20,
and the investors for this year are enjoying great results from it

Out of the five suggestions that can be alternative to bitcoin, ethereum is the only one capable of replacing bitcoin or be as an alternative to it because of its platform and the volume it has as against the rest altcoins

I think Stellar ore Ripple coul be a good alternative this year if banks will join the cryptoscene.

Bitcoin can compete only with ether! there are no other alternatives! I buy an ethereum - it will be expensive this year

It seems to me, the best alternatives for BTC will be perspective investments in coins ETH and Ripple. After all, they already demonstrate an excellent potential for growth with demanded coins.

I think many altcoin that able to take bitcoin place as leader in market. Ethereum for an example, its good coin with great developers team and used by many platform. I think ethereum can be an alternative bitcoin

Some coins coming out in 2018 on the crypto-currency market are very strong as a project. maybe later they will be alternatives for bitcoin. these coins are litecoin, Eos, Ripple

There is no alternative to Bitcoin, but I believe Litecoin is in 2nd place for crypto currency.

These are the few alternative that may testify in this 2018 Litecoin because of it's persistence, Ethereum because of it's smart contracts, Monero because of it's anonymity.

I think that the best alternative to bitcoin would be Litecoin this coin is recently getting value in the market and hasn't had a good market capitalization enough to make it to the top and it could frequencies of the market but other than this factor I think that you Ethereum classic bitcoin cash dash – are the other options to go.

I believe that in 2018 the main thing is the facilitation of the lives of ordinary people through a variety of applications, such as remme, conditions, steem

I think the best alternative to bitcoin in 2018 will be cryptocurrency Zcash for. This is a very promising cryptocurrency that offers users true anonymity. According to the developers, the mission of Zcash is to create an open global economic platform from which no one can be excluded. They believe that decentralization is the key to security and justice. But wait, shouldn't bitcoin be anonymous because it's not linked to your online nickname? This is true, but only partly. It is true that usernames are not used in bitcoin transfers, but a transaction can still be traced back to a specific person using a public Ledger (public ledger) in the blockchain in combination with IP addresses. On the other hand, the digital currency of Zcash can be truly anonymous. It gives users the choice whether to make the transaction "hidden" or not. In case of consent to anonymity, information about the buyer, seller or transferred amount is not recorded in the block chain. The only information that will be recorded is the time of the transaction. In fact, only about ten percent of Zcash transactions are hidden because of the extra time and processing power required to process them.

It seems to me that only the etherium can be an alternative to the bitcoin from the presented list, because it has a strong community, good devepment team and many applications to use at the moment.

I don’t think so that there can be any other alternative of the bitcoin as this is a coin which has no match in any way and that there can be no other crypto coin even ETH which can compete with bitcoin not even now but in the future too. Bitcoin is a classy coin and that it will remain there at the top of the list even after number of years and that we will never see any other coin replacing this coin.

it is difficult to answer this question when you actually think. there is a continuous cash input and output. the information is refreshed in the market. The volume of money is increasing. BitCoin is coming up with new competitors. competitors trx xlm mco.

Seems like only ethereum can be an alternative coin for bitcoin because they are the same, ethereum
For having smart contracts and it has a good developer team also it is used by many platforms.

I am for Ethereum and, probably, NEO. Litecoin is certainly, underestimated but we will have to wait for years until it grows much. I guess that we have to add more ETH to our wallets: the crypto is cheap.

I think this year market cap (dominance) of bitcoin will decrease 30% below, Alternative currencies will grow ETH, LTC, ETC, NEO, ICX,etc. Becuase bitcoin has some serious problems like high transaction fees, scalability issues etc.

Good evening.
I understand the meaning of your question. But understand, for the next few years, and maybe decades, there is no alternative and can not be.  :)
We breathe air, in its composition oxygen, which is about 20%, the composition of air can vary for different reasons but oxygen will always be (must be) otherwise it is not air but an unsuitable gaseous mixture.  ;)

You can try Cryptics. The project is in development, but right now you can try some features – daily, hourly forecasts. Soon there will be trading engine, bots, strategies making tool, decentralized funds and all of that. Promising project, you might like it!

The volume of money is increasing. BitCoin is coming up with new competitors. competitors trx xlm mco.

several bitcoins alternatives are already taking over the market in the likes of ETH, LTC, ETC, NEO, ICX and so on

I think there is no alternative of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is always the number one in this market.
Other coins will certainly rise, but they can not be an alternative to bitcoin.

Now the market is in a very unstable situation, so many different coins just disappear from the market and it is very difficult to find something really good and perspective, so I trust ETH and I will invest in it.

None of the coins you listed will be an alternative to bitcoin. There are only three coins that can only compete for leadership, it's an ether, waves and I would put on a monero.

I think the only thing that can replace bitcoin is the ETH, but this year the ETH has not reached the point of replacing bitcoin.

The acceptance of ETH is increasing day by day. Many ICO projects are intelligent contracts based on ETH.

There are also lots of alternative coins that has good potential aside from the ones you listed. Neo is good as well as venchain, lisk is doing good at the moment xlm has good partnerships and as always cardano and iota have great technology. And as for the newly ones i would go with thekey, bluzelle, nebulas and dragonchain. I am waiting for wanchain to get listed lots are waiting for it and i would definitely buy a pretty decent amount of it.

The first and most important coin has no alternatives, at least now, the situation is that the whole market is oriented towards Satoshi, and the idea of an open market. Although at the moment the situation with the bears looks extremely sad and the whole market cries bloody tears.

it is difficult to answer this question when you actually think. there is a continuous cash input and output. the information is refreshed in the market. The volume of money is increasing. BitCoin is coming up with new competitors. competitors trx xlm mco.

 I think taht Ethereum is one of the greatest alternatives. It is even called alternative cryptocurrency top one, so besides my investment in Bitcoin I am always trying to have some Ethereum!

Yes, now, if you want, you can choose promising alternatives for diversifying your portfolio. Although I'm not currently looking for alternatives, I mainly work with BTC.

For me I think the best alternatives in bitcoin for the year 2018 is the etherium nor litecoin, those altcoin shas their potential to increase its value for the next few months or in the next few years

It seems to me that now Litecoin has all chances to win such an alternative status for BTC, it acquires more and more value in the crypto market, it gradually goes to the top.

The best alternative for BTC now I think is ETH. I usually allocate my free money for investments in BTC, ETH and NEO as the most promising coins on the market.

Even in the Lightning Network system, which was supposed to solve the scaling problems, there are now too many incomprehensible moments that need to be clarified before launching it. But newcomers like EOS, XLM and XRB are ready to overtake Bitcoin in terms of speed and functionality. It is important not to forget that the entire crypto-currency area is constantly changing, which means that the crypto-currency, which will eventually capture the market, may not even exist.

I would prefer bitcoin than any alternative currency, but it all back to yourself, look for alternative that has high volume. Might they would have many followers.

I think it depends on what you choose. depending on your beliefs as well. if indeed you want to benefit from bitcoin yes you select bitcoin. if you want to seek trust in others I suggest you choose Ethereum and NEO. I think both coins will have a good chance in the future.

it is difficult to answer this question when you actually think. there is a continuous cash input and output. the information is refreshed in the market. The volume of money is increasing. BitCoin is coming up with new competitors. competitors trx xlm mco.

I think it is ethereum since this altcoin has a high value and also has many supporters than other altcoins.

I think the best coin in 2018 will be either Ethereum or EOS. I would like to note that the Ripple may grow very well, but I think that it will go up in 2019.

The best alternatives to bitcoin are Eth and Litecoin. I anticipate you desire examine NEM and NEO birth a firm 2018 as they both birth a parcel of big federation things to offer.

I think Eos and steem if good alternative this year, plus im looking more into blockchain 3.0-4.0 and so on, world change fast.

Yes, all new coins are much more modern and faster than bitcoins. Just while everyone is still looking at bitcoin as the most stable option, but I think that everything will change soon

I see the ethereum for maybe next 2 years as the best alternavite coin for bitcoin because by now I see a lot of potential on ETH, I believe that that potential will make itself great someday.

I'd say ETH is good now. Its price is low, there's a chance for a raise in the future. I just invested in chozun 途赞 and I'm planning to hold after their token generation.

Ethereum remains a solid contrasting option to BTC. The acknowledgment of ETH is developing continuously, particularly the utilization of ETH for most ICOs is driving the usage of the coin on consistent schedule. What's more, the way that it is less expensive than BTC too is an advantage. You can likewise consider the way that Ethereum is going from POW to POS, which will be more solid for the coin over the long haul (greater condition well disposed).

This is such a sensitive issue that I wouldn't rely on other people's opinions . how many people, so many opinions . so that lutshe on their own analyze

No alternatives for bitcoin can exist. However, there are some good coins for investment, like Zcash or Golem

Three alternatives to Bitcoin in 2018
- Stellar Lumens (XLM)
Advantages: Scalable scalability. Good cooperation. App is clear.
Stellar can handle 1000 transactions per second easily, and transfer millions of dollars for a few cents. Investors of this project are none other than CEO Sam Altman of Y-Combinator, and CEO of Stripe.
- RaiBlocks (XRB)
Advantages: Scalable scalability. Instant deals. Transaction fee is 0.
RaiBlocks is an even newer currency - it only appeared a few months ago. RaiBlocks uses a new, directed acyclic graph (DAG) architecture that currently only has a few codecs in use. This makes its scalability much larger than the blockchain applications. The development approach of the project is "do something good". In this case, the goal of RaiBlocks is what Bitcoin wants to become: a quick and free way to send money globally.
- EOS
Advantages: scalability and programming. 'The Ethereum Killer'
EOS is often referred to as 'Ethereum on Steroids'. EOS developers claim that EOS blockchain is fully programmable, eliminates transaction fees and is capable of processing millions of transactions per second. Their blockchain will launch in April.

There are likewise bunches of elective coins that has great potential beside the ones you recorded. Neo is great and in addition venchain, lisk is doing great right now xlm has great organizations and as dependably cardano and particle have awesome innovation. Also, concerning the recently ones I would run with thekey, bluzelle, clouds and dragonchain. I am sitting tight for wanchain to get recorded parcels are sitting tight for it and I would purchase a truly not too bad measure of it.

I also think like that.ETH is a good coin, potentially promising. many people invest in ETH. because they are profitable. so if you have a better ETH coin, hold it for a long time because nobody knows. if he will later give you a big advantage in the future.

ETH and NEO this two ae upgraded projects hence this year and after that also both are good   

yes, I also think like that and I think that would be the bitcoin alternative is Ethereum because this coin also has good growth and hence Ethereum might be alternative Bitcoin because ETH coin also much liked by many people

Solution for Bitcoin
It will be based on your needs
If you want to increase the volume of trading, high liquidity, you can refer to coin such as ETH, ADA, NEO, Litecoin

I see from the development of the coin I think a very decent coin to be an Alternative Bitcoin is Ethereum, I see the development of Ethereum is better than other Altcoin so I think it is suitable as an alternative from Bitcoin.

for Bitcoin in 2018 is indeed experiencing a development that so increased. with the increase in attendance is very capable of bringing Bitcoin into a coin that is able to be relied upon in the future. in addition to Bitcoin, there are also other coins that have such increasing development and generate huge profits in the future, such as Ethereum and Ripple as alternative coins.

As for me, it is Ethereum, it may well claim the title of leader in importance after bitcoin. With this electoin users can perform financial transactions. Experts say that in this case it is possible to use a large range of applications, unlike bitcoin supporters. The projected situation when the Ethereum can produce a revolution in the field of apps and online services. :)

Yes of course, bitcoin alternatives in the year of two thousand eighteen
because according to the expert this is the year of the company of bitcoin because they are in demand business.

Ethereum can be alternative to Bitcoin. But, It is not easy thing to pass Bitcoin. I can't believe it can make soon. Maybe few years later...

2018 will be the year of bearish trend! but next year I think we will be looking at a big trend ! especially according to the altam

Do you want to grow your portfolio in terms of BTC? If so, you have to rebalance your portfolio after each positive movement of altcoin you've choosen. In case if you are going to find next BTC, better hold altcoin. I would choose ethereum or neo. Zcash also seems perspective. Forget about LTC, Charlie Lee abandoned this project

Ethereum and Litecoin have more opportunities to occupy that position. Ethereum and Litecoin both of which are the most ambitious coins during its development as their prices are cheaper than bitcoins so it's no wonder the users of these two coins will continue to flourish above the altcoin realm.

I think that the best alternative to Bitcoin in 2018 will remain Ethereum, as well as in 2017. In 2019, the situation may change, but so far I do not see other options.

I think that closer than Ethereum as an alternative to Bitcoin, in the next two years there will be nothing.

Best alternative bitcoin in 2018 is ethereum, ripple and bitcoin cash this is because they are one of the highest value in a market and continue increasing the community as one the important factors that makes the coins more valuable. Even if the speculation og 2018 could make it true or not they are still promising.

Ethereum is the only alternative to Bitcoin, although in fact Ethereum is also not an alternative. The power of Bitcoin in the cryptocurrency market is very strong.

I think there are many strong coins in crypto market but bitcoin is the king of coins it has great potential and alternative of bit are i think ethereum is most reliable alternative of bitcoin after that Ripple, EOS are also strong and excellent volume.

That relies upon what you're endeavoring to do. Do you need BTC benefit or would you say you are endeavoring to search for your 'next Bitcoin'? In the event that it's the previous, you can exchange anything that is slanting up that has not too bad volume and liquidity. In the event that it's the last mentioned, at that point hold Monero and Litecoin. IMO.

this is exactly the etherium now the most awesome coin! its prospects are cool! I'm waiting for this coin to take a sure first step! and, though, do not even need to wait! because the etherium is the world's first coin.

For me the company of bitcoin in alternativecoins with the year of two thousand eighteen is in the good state  because like I always said this is in demand business in this industry that’s all.

I think it can be Ripple. In addition to being one of the most renowned digital tokens out there – even competing for the second spot in market share, behind Bitcoin, with options such as Dash, Litecoin, and Ethereum – it is also one of the most efficient payment networks for financial transactions in the planet.

I think the best option might be Ripple. Ripple provides an improvement on the traditional way that banks use to work. The transactions are completed, settled and registered in a matter of seconds despite the high amount of traffic that the platform experiences everyday. That is a vast improvement over, say, the Bitcoin system, which takes an average of ten minutes to complete an operation.

Bitcoin will remain the most reliable currency this year. Ethereum isn't very confident in the market this year and I think that it will not show good growth in the near future.

This year is not good for old coins like BTC and ETH, it's the year of new platform like EOS or exchange coins like BNB

Bitcoin also has its own alternative to being a coin to rely on. because bitcoin can come down at any time. but it would be great if the market ended. because the alternatives will help us make more profit in the future. therefore, it will be very profitable to have it from the very beginning

I think it could be Ripple. Not only is Ripple one of the most relevant payment and exchange networks in the industry but also, it is one a prominent cryptocurrency in a world full of them. That is not the interesting fact about it: the XRP is trending up, and has tons of room to grow!

I think the best alternatives to bitcoins are Ripple. Ripple is a protocol which has been created in order to transfer money anywhere around the world almost instantly. It is one of the fastest cryptocurrencies when it comes to completing the transaction. The transaction is completed using the token of the platform which is XRP.

In which matter are the alternative? Speculations or usecase?

All these coins are quite good and are solid competition for bitcoin, especially the ether. But it seems to me that soon a new leader will appear. We must wait for good ICO. Now it's hard to believe that there will be something better than these coins, but I believe that when Menlo.one will work, then more good projects will appear.

In my opinion, it's up to your belief, because in my opinion, some of the altcoins that you mentioned above are equally good and quite profitable if you have good fundamentals in trading. But if not, as good as any coin you choose, and you cannot control yourself, then you will not get any benefit

there are many alternatives and j believe tnat it is so hard to ane one or teo which are really good, so you may make researches

there are  alot of good altcoins now and i believ that ylu can make it right but it aould take a lot time to analyse them all

I think there are some good alternatives for bitcoin in 2018 but my favorite one is ethereum. I think it is pretty strong and it is worth holding it

If you look at the price chart of EOS, then it has already fallen a whole quarter. Yes, this year should have been favorable for launching platforms and new projects, but these were only assumptions, and in fact Bitcoin proves to be more stable than altcoins. In addition, the percentage of Bitcoin's dominance is growing, which speaks in favor of Bitcoin.

There is no  alternative to bitcoin.  I think there are no altcoins that  can replace him.  ;D

The price are not yet been goid to see cause this was fallen but almost of it we all know that there is some possibility of it that more over it may have to make a high price again so be patient on what we have to see for what may happen in some altcoin and bitcoin.

it is interesting to people that the continuous change of colors on the market. The market is very attractive. but this market is king btc :'(

I think no coin can replace Bitcoin. Bitcoin is now an irreplaceable king. I think this is correct.

in 2018 there will be many people who answer Ethereum which is still the best altcoin this year, but that does not mean that other altcoins cannot be the best altcoins, because no one will know how the future of crypto price which is in the market.

Bitcoin has no alternative and I don't think it will. Bitcoin is the most important coin that has no competitors. It determines the behavior of the entire market

ETH is indeed a coin that has very high interest but time is still running and each team is developing their respective projects. then there are still many possibilities that occur we just wait for the results later if the ETH is still the best under bitcoin or other coins.

Neo, Eos and Waves are seem to be stronger competetive rivals to get the next place after Btc. I support Eos most of all because its predictions are really convincing.

Telegram can not be a competitor to Bitcoin. This is because this coin has not even entered the market yet. And the path to development is very long and complicated.

Bitcoin is different from altcoins. Altcoins may be called alternatives but they cant really replace Bitcoin. Are you trying to ask about Bitcoin Cash or Bitcoin Interest? Those are clear attempts to make an alternative to Bitcoin, not the altcoins you mentioned.

Litecoin has been accelerando its fee, and ETH is behavior the alike. I invest in possibly ETH achievement in any dot of this year.

As a promising alternative cryptocurrencies I will talk about Eos. It is my favorite now. And Monero, Neo are next ones which have a good potential as well.

There are not so many promising alternatives for btc. Only some of altcoins are able to become competetive for btc and I think that Eos is the first there.

There will rise a couple of Bitcoin choices throughout the following year in light of one critical thing. At the present time the main coins being utilized for genuine exchanges are mysterious coins. All coins like Bitcoin are viewed as dead coins since they can be followed. This is enormous on the grounds that the ppl really utilizing crypto right presently are ppl that need to stay untraceable. Zcash and deeponion are my top pick

Ethereum of course, because many people using eth for investing and paying projects like bitcoin and it is very useful like bitcoin also and many users believe on it even it is an alternative coin, it will be compete bitcoin or even surpassed it soon. so don't underestimated eth or other alternative coin.

Btc is weaker than it was I am sure that it is clear and these are my alternatives which can be competetive for btc in the real time: eos, monero and ripple maybe.

Ethereum may be a substitute for Bitcoin, Ethereum is difficult to replace Bitcoin, Bitcoin is too powerful

Actually I do not see any need to look for alternatives for bitcoin in this year. While it is true that many speculators may feel discouraged by the great fall in the price of bitcoin, I believe that its prospects for growth and improvement are better than ever and the implementation of lightning will undoubtedly be the beginning of a new era of growth and development for the bitcoin ecosystem. Therefore instead of looking for alternatives, I think it is worth giving a vote of confidence to bitcoin and keep accumulating and holding as many as possible.

I go for ethereum.Even the Hostgames,one of the most trusted cryptocommunity for fantasy sports and gaming,uses eth currency mostly.

A replacement for Bitcoin? Do you mean to find the next bitcoin? I think this idea is still too early, and there are no coins to replace BTC within 10 years. So if you can hold BTC2-5 years, it is the best choice.

I think that bitcoin will hold the positions of the leader of the coin for a long time and speak about the alternative now too soon. Vryat it may be an etherium, because what we see now is not quite like an alternative. I think that an entirely new coin can be an altenatic, which will be able to occupy high positions in the rating and be an excellent solution, a new era in the development of the crypto-currency market. But I'm not ready to name it yet.

I am in fond of erc-20 standard and privacy coins, so I would hold ethereum and zcash. I would skip xrp due to centralization and litecoin because it is simply copy of bitcoin.

The alternative depend on  your crypto usage.but as i think what ever coins comes forward it cannot pass bitcoin because it is the first coin and everyone know it well and trust it. also all other coins depend on bitcoin.

Because of the limitations of bitcoin, there are now many alternative coins that are expected to become bitcoin competitors. Among the few coins you mentioned above, I prefer Litecoin. This coin can be an alternative to bitcoin. Litecoin has a faster transaction time than other altcoins. But, this coin is also the same as bitcoin, the price is also fluctuating so that it can provide an opportunity to get a profit if you save this coin.

There are many alternatives out there but looking at the market right now there is no sure bet. Ripple ETh and litecoin are one of the favourites. Also monero and dash for their anonymity.

Cardano is only a test to Ethereum and not a test to bitcoin since those two coins are excessively unique and perform diverse capacities, bitcoin is essentially a cash and a store of significant worth and nothing more while cardano is fundamentally endeavoring to do likewise as ethereum, anyway I don't know cardano is going to genuinely challenge ethereum since ethereum has been in the market for quite a long time and cardano is as yet another coin that still needs to demonstrate its value.

Now when alot of People believe the rise of any coin is Practically influenced but be as it may, the value of these both Crypto Currencies has been increased by 5 times this year. So now that More and more People are using the coins, it is possible to Compete with bitcoin.

In terms of use case, we have better coins than Bitcoin at this point. But that isn't enough a reason to replace Bitcoin. Bitcoin has market dominance and major currency with the largest market cap. It has huge community support and is the main facilitating currency in trades. There are of course better currencies than Bitcoin in the market with instant transfers and minimal fees. But the main thing is the popularity which is near to impossible for any coin to beat at this moment. 

very much was said about what alternative is possible to bitcoin in 2018. As time has shown today, no one crypto currency is able to compete with bitoyin, as evidenced by the fact that bitcoin capitalization is more than 50% of all crypto-currencies.

I think Litecoin and Dash are good Bitcoin alternatives...
But still Bitcoin will be always cryptocurrency  number one...

I think ethereum is the next big thing after bitcoin, it was the first alternative to it so it brings a lot of influence to the field, which is necessary for it to grow in the future.

I think Bitcoin Cash will be good alternative of Bitcoin in 2018.....

I think that bitcoin will never give up its place to any other coin. Bitcoin is the King, and he will always come first.

This cryptocurrency is the only one strongest coin on the markekt and it doesn't have rivals for its place. I consider that BTC will be on the top even if it will lose some positions.

Personally, I'm now focusing on working with the BTC. Despite the statements of many market experts, I still believe in its excellent potential and further growth. Although investments in ETH, ADA, NEO, Litecoin can be selected for investment distribution, they also have good technology and development potential.

I believe that ETH can be such a successful alternative in the future. Now its technology is actively developing, attracting the attention of many investors. Many new ICOs are betting on ETH-based jobs. Although the BTC has yet to come up with a large-scale and complex work to achieve.

Personally, I will continue to consider BTC the real king of the current market crypto. The only complete alternative today is the ETH investment. But while ETH is still really far ahead of reaching the level and progress of the BTC.

I don’t think that there is any alternative of bitcoin, bitcoin is the largest of all the crypto currencies and thus considered as superior of all the crypto and on being practically bitcoin growth curve is very very high in comparison to other crypto and even considered as a threat to other Fiat currencies so I don’t think that there is any alternative that could replace bitcoin and moreover bitcoin occupies the more than 50% of total crypto market so bitcoin is irreplaceable.

There are a lot of good cryptos around here, just chose a good one maybe into the Airdrop phase (so you can invest less or nothing).
Bitcoin is a good coin, but if you want to make the real money, you need to find a good good altcoin.

Today, no altcoine can replace bitcoin. For example, look at the etherium. The coin depreciated so much that it can not rise above 300 dollars. Bitcoin has already risen in price to 7200, and the etherium is trading at 290-295.
Perhaps in 2019, new more promising coins will appear. But now the situation is very difficult.

Ethereum constantly renews itself. Currently the marketcap is one of the higher subcoins. Also the price is reasonable. To me, Ethereum is going to rise a lot in the future. Investing can make sense. It will also rise in Litecoin in the future, but it may take many years to wait.

It seems to me that a particular decision depends on your personal goals and preferences. If you are focused on working with BTC technology, then you need to invest exactly in the BTC. He is my priority for work. Although it is also possible to distribute your investments in the purchase of Ethereum and NEO.

At the moment, based on trading operations during the day, bitcoin is the industry leader. Even the notorious ETH, can not reach a quarter of the trading volumes of bitcoin.

I am sure that there are no alternatives to bitcoin. Moreover, bitcoin will always be the first number. Bitcoin is not a battle of technology, it's digital gold. Much more interesting situation will develop with alternative currencies.

Bitcoin is the very vast crypto currency of the era and it is the most successful and the most powerful crypto currency among all and thus the reason or we can can rhe its investors has made bitcoin so successful that now in present times there are millions of people around the world who are investing into bitcoin so I don’t find any alternative of bitcoin in any year as the growth curve of bitcoin simply justify everything as there is no currency comparable to bitcoin but etherum could be the option in the worst case.

I believe the future of the ETH is very bright and in my opinion Ethereum has a large community on the market and is now the second most popular after Bitcoin. I think the best alternative to bitcoin is Ethereum.

I think in 2018 there is still no alternative for bitcoin. Bitcoin is unique. There are several cryptocurrencies who are technically much better today. But even then it can be replace bitcoin. Bitcoin has the fame that it need for a cryptocurrencies to be such valuable. And there will be never ever another coin who will replace it.

When we talk about bitcoin alternatives I think the best and the only coin that can match the usability of Bitcoin would be as always Ethereum. I believe that now is the time of Ethereum to gain momentum in the cryptocurrency world and be able to get a good price above the 500 dollar level. Make it 2000 dollars by the end of the year.

In my opinion, the best coin alternative in 2018 is Ripple.
I see Ripple has good potential to grow in the future.
Ripple has the advantage of being very fast and very good Ripple transfer rates so I think Ripple will benefit you in the future.
Even Ripple has a good predicate so choosing Ripple is a good idea.

I guess Tezos looks strong project with interesting development ideas. Mainnet planned to start on September and Testnet is already working smooth. Also Tezos has an curious baked system.

As far as I know BitcoinCash is one of the most popular Bitcoin alternatives I have ever know however there are actually a lot of them but BitcoinCash grows that fast and is also pretty stable when it comes to marketcap. Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Verge and Zcash are just normal Altcoins with different platforms and not a Bitcoin alternatives as they are not Bitcoin's forks except Litecoin which is derived from Bitcoin.

There are not alterntives for BTC at all. It is too valueable and old cryrptocurrency that others just are not able to reach the same level than to overtake it.

For me, Ethereum is the best bitcoin with a coin, and I'm sure that 2018 will be a year for the airwaves, because it is very good from the last months and there are good developments on their platform, and I'm sure that in 2018 it will become huge and those who hold on will be very happy. The other coins you mentioned are also very good, but for me Ethereum is best after bitkoyna.

I myself am more likely to choose Ethereum. Because these coins have many uses, for example, can be used as a transaction tool to participate in ICOs.
Besides that Ethereum also has a lot of enthusiasts who have the potential to grow in the future.

I also choose the Ethereum. Firstly, it goes in second place of capitalization after bitcoin, and also on its platform do a lot of altcoins and make ICO

I do not see an alternative that would be able to really show people now what can really defeat the BTC, I do not think that there are any really good alternatives, I do not think so. Probably there will not be another BTC

Bitcoin Cash was supposed to become the second BTC but it did not happen. Now, I do not see any alternatives to the cryptocurrency which is number one. However, investing in Lisk, Stellar, and OMG, you can make good money.

I think the best for those who give more price increases in cryptocurrency.
Suppose I see a coin that is so cheap on IDEX that the price is only 6 gwei, then one week immediately the price rises to 30 gwei, so my profit has become 500%.

I chose ethereum, as the number 2 best crypto after bitcoin coin is worth considering because of the advantages it has, of course ethereum also has good potential for investment.

There is no alternative to Bitcoin. Firstly, Bitcoin is the biggest crypto with above 50% of total market cap. Then you should understand that noone, even Ethereum, can't replace it because only BTC was the first crypto, and thanks to it now we have a lot of altcoins on market.

I love ether because of it popular adoption. XRP is not truly decentralized. Other coins, of course, cannot be good as ether

All these coins are good in their own way. But it's hard to say which is better, time will tell.

You should not be looking for any alternatives, when it comes to the coins then bitcoin is the best thing for you to put your money into. There are some coins which are close to the kind of project that bitcoin has but they can never be like the real thing. If you are looking for your transactions to be more anonymous then I suggest that you use monero

lots of coins that are experiencing great development and improvement that is so relevant, it is capable of being a profit and allow for the occurrence of the turnover of a position to be a major Altcoin. This determines the Bitcoin as alternative indeed to be able to count on, as long as it's the best alternative Bitcoin Ethereum.

For sure it is not going to be Ripple. I hope that Ethereum will overcome Bitcoin one day. But Litecoin has also a great perspective in the next years. Furthermore a big update of LTC is coming soon, the reduces the transactions price by 10 times.

I do not want to seem like an old man, but of course BTC simply has no analogues on the market today, let's think about what project can still be a normal alternative? Maybe LTC or DECRED? It is difficult to say, because there is no choice.

You are right at the moment is Bitcoin without any alternative. We can speak about an alternative if a project will hit a good market cap and after that it can an option instead of bitcoin.

There is no Bitcoin alternative. No altcoin, not Bitcoin fork is real alternative for Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is like a gold and other altcoins are like a other metals.

There will be no alternative of bitcoin, not in 2018 and not even in next 10 years or more. Anyway, I think cryptocurrency will no longer exist in 2050 and after that something will replace BTC.

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that this is Ripple. Project achievements are impressive. More and more banks are connecting to the system. I think that next year we will see a very high price for this coin. In addition, I can assume that the capitalization of the project is pursuit to the capitalization of Bitcoin. This is crypto and in this market nothing is impossible 8)

That depends on from which ground you take for the question. Cause Bitcoin is a payment gateway and yes it's the first ever blockchain basec crypto currency. Ethereum and ripple has another mechanics for the token. But if you compare in marketcap basic, it's a bit impossible for any-other crypto you are talking about to reach Bitcoin's marketcap. Cause the 2nd or 3rd position coin ethereum or ripple have less than 25% market cap of Bitcoin so it's hard to cross. Or even anything cross Bitcoin in future it will take a long time to do that

  Ohhh ..! Ripple updated his version in mid-September. And it made many to turn their attention to this Coin. And also exchanges pumped his

In my opinion, the price indicator is not yet an indicator of the state of development of a certain type of cryptocurrency. The fact that ethereum has now fallen in price to $ 200, I do not think that its usefulness has fallen from this. Most likely, there is the usual manipulation of the market. Personally, I rate ethereum much higher than its current price. After a while this coin will grow in popularity very much.

I think ethereum is best alternative coins in this 2018 year. Because there have lot of valuble ERC20 technology and other new altcoins using this technologies for new generation.

The happy opportunity betting in 2018 is EOS, Eth, Ripple and Bitcoin cash, because it can be the highest fees in the market and makes the currency more valuable as a key factor in promoting the community. Even if the estimate and the affirmation of the year 2018 or now they are still not committed.

If the test version of Durov's telegram starts this year, I think that his TRON coin will be Bitcoin's main competitor.
Of course, this may not happen this year, but only next year, but I am sure that it will be a competitor.

I vote for Ethereum I think that every investor needs to keep it to themselves. Great technology that has a great team ! If the prospect of development and this means that there is a prospect of growth ! As far as I know the development team has found a solution to the problem in scaling ! So I think that DASH will show their best side !

I do not think the Altcoins could be the alternatives to make the leap in 2018.Bitcoin without going to the moon all other Altcoins are difficult to change and overcome it.

As I understand it.There is no need for an alternative search recently.For political reasons the crypto market will rise.You're gonna take care of me.Embargoes can cause this. I hope you make good investments.

You can relate to cryptocurrencies in a completely different way, the most important thing is not to say that cryptocurrency is bad and that these are scm projects, I think that all this should be the other way around told to people. That cryptocurrency is not a bubble, that it is a normal system. From the alternatives, I see only LTC and that's it!

It is nice to see that people do not see any Bitcoin alternative. This is very important for further price development. Bitcoin is for people store of a value and when you have thousands of alternatives, it is a store of a value?

Despite the fact that in 2018 many new cryptocurrencies appeared, today none of them can fully compete with Bitcoin. Perhaps in 2019 the situation will change.

I am sure that Bitcoin will have no competitors in 2019. This coin proved the fact that it is the strongest and most reliable.

for a long time Bitcoin will always be number 1. Moreover, until now altcoin is still very dependent on the value of Bitcoin so how Altcoin can become a rival to Bitcoin. except if the value of Bitcoin does not affect the altcoin value, there may be an opportunity for Altcoin to become a rival to Bitcoin

There will be no change in 2019, the BTC is still too strong and it is difficult for an altcoin to replace it. In the next 5-10 years, if the market is stable and growing, ETH will replace BTC

Maybe ETH or NEO will rival Bitcoin in the future, that's also if China reopens or legalizes the entire crypto market. and of course it will have an impact on bitcoin and other altcoins. hope it's because it's one of the big impacts on this crypto world

I think that no cryptocurrency is not able to replace bitcoin is better than Ethereum. It looks as cool and as promising as possible and therefore fits much more than other cryptocurrencies

None of them is an alternative for me.
Yeah, some altcoins are worth investing and can give you high return on investment, but thos don't have potential to replace bitcoin.

Bitcoin has no serious competitors. This coin is the most popular in the world. Bitcoin gradually becomes digital gold. Many large organizations are starting to support this project.

No coin can replace BTC, I think so because the BTC is too high now, there is no possibility that any coin will rise so high and now the market is in a downturn. down, there will be no coin upstream against the market.

Personally, I think that at the present moment ethereum is more modern, I would say that it is in the first place for me personally. But I, as a user of ethereum, see a lot of flaws in it and see in the future an alternative in the form of a completely different and new cryptocurrency. As for Bitcoin, its only advantage at the moment is that it is the founder of a new technology for the world - the blockchain. In time, I think, he will not go far to the first place, it just takes time for the implementation of new projects and their popularization in the world.

USDT is the choice of many traders because prices tend not to move too wild, traders choose to enter safe limits and maintain asset values when other coins have a very significant decline, I think USDT is not the best alternative coin, but is the safest to be a temporary destination until the market undergoes favorable speculation changes.

These coins are no exactly alternatives. All of them were created for diffrent use.
Maybe Litecoin could be considered as an alternative because it is pretty similiar to Bitcoin, almost same blockchain, parameters and so on. Litecoin is a lite copy of Bitcoin. But who wants to invest into copy?

yes, USDT has good stability because it plays an important role in the world economy. and currently USDT is in good condition because it is going up even though it is not so high but this is very good for the USDT holders.
but indeed if you want to get big profits then USDT is not the best choice.
if you want a large profit in investment you must choose coins that have a large increase and decrease.

Cryptocurrency that can replace the bitcoin is not so much at the moment. But it seems to me that in any case Ethereum will take the leading position on this issue. It is he who deserves more than others

As the best alternative to Bitcoin for this year 2018, I consider the second strongest cryptocurrency of Ethereum. I also remain faithful to the altcoin Litecoin.
All prices are based on the Bitcoin price and therefore it is difficult to determine the alternative.

The alternatives that are already on the market today is of course LTC, which has been taking part in the struggle for the championship for a very long time, because today people still have to see how the project really rises from the bottom and how it can change its future.

I think that it should be Ethereum. It's the best altcoin now. ERC-20 is used by many successful projects. And I think that new ICOs will continue choose Ethereum rather than altcoins.

Altcoin be the best alternative for Bitcoin. price Altcoin many who have elevated as belonging to Ripple. This allows for Altcoin able to produce many more advantages that brings the advancement of development of Altcoin that exist in the future.

There is nothing that can compare to bitcoin so there is no way that you are going to find an alternative that is going to serve you the way bitcoin would, why not just invest in bitcoin itself if you are looking for something like it? It's not like bitcoin is not going to end up doing well in the long run any way. The coins all have their usefulness and no two coins are alike

There is no alternative of BTC in the market right now. BTC have its own place in cryptos. As you have mentioned ETH and you are comparing ETH with BTC Which is pointless according to me. No doubt ETH is most stable coin among all alt coins but comparing eth with btc is lame. You can compare ETH with other alt coins.

Ethereum, this year and any year. I think it is the only altcoin that reached the same level of trust as Bitcoin in crypto community and has comparable potential in terms of ROI.

Reaching the level of bitcoin is a quite too far right now, but it's not impossible to reach in. But it's better if we clean first the market and do the job as individual reporter for those scam projects. We need to expose different kind of fraud crypto project to maintain the good name of crypto currency around the world, for that ... the crypto will rise up again and all of us will benefit on this matter.

I don't think anyone is sincerely aiming at replacing BTC but I agree with what you said about ETH, it is a good choice when we talk about investing in altcoins.

when talking about coins that have the potential to replace Bitcoin, ETH is the closest, but for now there are also potentially big coins, namely XRP. it turns out now that the XRP has taken the ETH position at this time. so maybe XRP can also replace Bitcoin.

Bitcoin be best Cryptocurrency coins which continued to experience increasing development. with its ability to continue to grow making the Bitcoin mainstay of many people. In addition there is also a Altcoin Bitcoin continues to experience rapid development of quite like Ripple. It seems to Ripple into alternative Bitcoin is best.

Bitcoin has no alternative.Bitcoin is the giant of the crypto world.No coins can approach bitcoin.But there are of course coins to follow her.Ethereum and neo are coins to approach bitcoin.I can recommend both and they are very cheap now.But bitcoin's place is separate.

When we are going to be honest, there was no real alternative to BTC in 2018, because the year was hard and almost always going down. BTC showed that it is still the number one crypto and it also did not lost so much as altcoins did.

Bitcoin is now the number one for cryptocurrency, now the price has decreased. and most likely indeed the price will also increase. now the price is falling in price

No cryptocurrency can replace Bitcoin, because Bitcoin is the encryption generated by the blockchain itself, and now all the altcoins are created by humans!

Bitcoin who experienced many developments that continue to increase. This improves support for many of the supports. In addition to anticipating expected the existence of alternatives to minimize the risk. as we know the prices and the development of Stellar enough to increase. This would be very nice to turn a profit. so this Stellar potential to become an alternative Bitcoin.
