I agree that Bitcoin currently has the broadest ecosystem and currently, the highest utility. However, there are at least two alts that are better poised to be more useful going forward. Ethereum and smart contracts are clearly something that could prove to be more useful in the future and have far wider implications. It functions as crypto just as well as Bitcoin, but has so much more potential functionality that can be built on top of it. The second is Ripple, which has major backing from major financial institutions. This backing is going to be more valuable to people who want the integration of crypto with major financial institutions. It seems more likely than not to be that eventually Ethereum or Ripple, or both, will surpass Bitcoin in market cap.

Yeah and it is the additional benefit of bitcoin that using bitcoin will make you avoid going out to cash out your money for use, it does not take any time and not charging any fees but you will have to hold your bitcoin in your bitcoin wallet and you will get the high return form it, bitcoin is good to use as it is an independent currency and it does not wait for the official budget to increase in price as much as people invest in bitcoin it use to increase itself in price so bitcoin is all freedom.

To me, electronic money considered as a significant asset and it contains all of the money in it, there are many wealthy people created from Bitcoin, and I wish that soon there will be many wealthy people. More from Bitcoin, there are so many poor people in the world, these virtual coins help them to live a better life.

I think they do not have any such strategy but in fact they are not accepting bitcoin because of the government policy, i think that once government will make bitcoin a legal currency then they will also start accepting bitcoin and will even start depositing bitcoin in banks, but i think it will take a lot of time and is not possible so early.

Bitcoin is money because some businessman or Bitcoiner use it in their business. Bitcoin has a value
in the market that we can use it to trading and investing. So in my opinion Bitcoin is money but not real money.

i think that wont be fair to bitcoin if you give equal share of on the advantages or on the perspective of long term investment. i agree gold have more stable rate in terms of maintaining the value by times. but we are living in the era of 2018 where golds growth are so low that it finds struggle to fight the inflation rate of ones local currencies by following the rule of thumb " a dollar today is not worth of the dollar tomorrow". along with that people are not investing in golds to make profit , i am telling about the common buyers. there are lots of fact like people in asia or middle east wear it as jewelry or for traditional or as habit or passion.
but if you thinking on the investment then btc is having a lot of advantages over gold as the form of ROE.

4 month already ,cant wait to see the result. Maybe the OP will Suprise us when it comes to april.

Hodlers basically just don't have the time for daily trading. Of course if you don't practice day trading constantly, you'll have less chance of becoming an efficient trader. So the next option is to simply hold, that way you won't have to concern yourself with the everyday fluctuation of market price

I do not agree with you, I think it will take not much time for this! I believe that the new year ETH will be worth more than $ 3,000

good plan, same with me but not always coins which have the price under $1. just coins which have good basically, i find some coins, that is PRL, CTR, and ETN. i'm ready to hold long term.

the volatility is when you are getting the right and good moment to buy some cryptocurrency and can get the right moment when selling it, not only that when you play long term and get more than 1000% it is really volatility.

Yes i agree on that i also believ that the etherium is really the next to bitcoin. We can see that the etherium is also becoming more popular and more profitable each day because it is also a good coin and I believe that if we put basis on its popularity it is also popular almost like the popular states of the bitcoin on crypto feild, many people are also trust and invest into it because they also see that etherium is also built with profit.

That is really the advantage of long-term investing, you are not really stressed out with the price fluctuation because you are only up to your ultimate price goal in the future.

Same here, i do also love online wallets when compare to an offline wallet because i dont have experience any problem regarding in online wallets and ive been using them now for a verry long time. offline wallets on the other hand is only suitable if your always prone to attacks and exploits such as hacking , phishing attempts , malwares , etc and also if your doing business or if you always have a big amount of coins in your balance.

I think the way the crypto market is at the moment is more like a democracy, the crypto coin we get to like the most as the possibility of getting overall support is getting pumped which might put it in a position to surpass bitcoin in terms of market capitalization...but bitcoin becoming obsolete is not happening it will remain another cryptocoin to use as a store of value or stock.

Yes the transaction fees of Bitcoin is fair but not in all situations. because the transaction fee of bitcoin is very high as a result when we transact Bitcoin from one account to another account at that situation if the amount of transacting Bitcoin is so much then it is fair but when we transact a little amount of Bitcoin then the fee is not fair.

I think that if you look at the prices of coins for the year, most altcoins will grow significantly in price. I believe that as soon as a serious market recovery begins, we will see new growth records for altcoins. 

I don't think new altcoins can beat bitcoin. As we can see ethereum is second to bitcoin and even ethereum operates a long time ago but still cannot beat bitcoin how much more the new alts? Well maybe in a long run they can overpass bitcoin but that will be in a long process of time and double or more efforts to be done.

Long term investments are called long term with a purpose  But sometimes it really makes you nervous when airdrop you've participated in is over and you still get no tokens. It's hard to be patient in that kind of situation.

I think no altcoin can beat bitcoin. Because we know until now bitcoin remains the number one and price is far above altcoin. Perhaps this is because many companies or investors are investing in it. Nowadays name of bitcoin has become popular among people and many are interested for join in bitcoin world
