Which altcoins will match Bitcoin in price (1:1) in a few years?

[CashCat]

None since 1 BTC will be >$10k in a few years.

Millions of greedy Sheeple will buy everything at nonsense prices when they think they can make a huge profit, just remember the Dotcom-Bubble. Everyone who is reading this thread in 2014 has the chance to be rich in a couple of years, the market capitalization of all altcoins combined is only ~600 Million US-Dollar according to coinmarketcap.com

Well, one 42 is worth around 3 bitcoins right now, and if I recall correctly the price for one 42 was something like 600 bitcoins a while ago.

Bitcoin 2.0 is not an altcoin, it's bitcoin's evolution.

I think litecoin has the potential to be number two, but who knows...

42 coin is insane! I can remember it was worth over 1500BTC lol

Which altcoins do you think will be equal in price 1:1 with Bitcoin in 2-5 years time?

i.e.

1 altcoin = 1 Bitcoin

In other words, Mark Cuban would not buy into Bitcoin, but would buy into the 2.0 version of Bitcoin, an altcoin. Which altcoin would he buy?

If not match Bitcoin 1:1, what will be the new "silver" to Bitcoin in 2-5 years? Second highest market cap, after BTC?

do you really want the answer or are you asking for the conversation - ??

anyhow i'll tell you and keep it as short as possible:

Crypto currency is an aspect of a new form of economics which can be loosely termed as "decentralized economics"

value is not derived from all the original things you can derive value from in say "Austrian economics"

the short story is; Bitcoin is very much price manipulated upwards.

so your answer is - "take your pick" -

there will be a basket of crypto currencies that will surpass Bitcoin in the future.

BUT

the ones that stick to the the primary principals of decentralized economics will have the highest net "value" in the market.


**note - this takes into account genuine sovereign issued crypto.  with the note that a nations productive capacity is a factor.

*** note - "gimmicks" are not a part of decentralized economics, we are talking about money here if you want me to make that clear think of it like this:

"Joe's fresh federal reserve note plays a wonderful colorful hologram and sings him the fucking national anthem, but he needs a 1000 to buy a bag of apples."

"Joe doesn't even fucking like apples."

Bitcoin does have some stable backings. Most of the merchants only accept Bitcoins but not alt coins. Alt coin's price are too unstable, they can crash any moment. I believe most people understand Bitcoin better than any other alt coin.

I think that understanding can change pretty quick, though. Just takes a few implementations and people will accommodate something new.. and of course since most people don't and will never have much idea about how digital currencies actually work, it shouldn't really matter. But really, in all likelihood something will get more momentum in the next few years, very possibly sth which doesn't exist as yet but which uses existing tech. I guess cryptonote coins why not, but scrypt could still get a look-in, nothing wrong with a spot of doge in my book (still).

[grosminer]

I don't think any alt will ever match Bitcoin in price..

[visual111]

Not a match in price, but NXT could match marketcap. It's an entirely new platform behaving as more than just a coin.

[EcuaMobi]

If 42 coin keeps dropping in price it might go down to I bitcoin per 42 coin. Right now they are still $ 1,979 each.

Not sure what relevance of 1:1 is.

It doesn't make sense to compare the price of a single coin when the total suppy is so different. So 1:1 isn't relevant.

We should be comparing total market capt.

Peercoin is the only coin that can not only go to 1:1 but far far exceed it, why?

Because it is designed to.

No other coin is even aimed at the backbone, high value market. They are all TPS/RETAIL orientated.

High value transactions and the bulk of real wealth are not in retail/high TPS. They are in currency swaps, exim loans, large projects, forex settlement, balancing the nightly, buying houses / real property etc.


Only Peercoin is set up for this, and the other coins and 99+% of even crypto people don't get it.

However those with large amounts of FIAT will.

In here for example, For many BTC  ers' the catch cry is BTC on AMAZON / EBAY  which is similar to LTC on GOX. Or when can I buy shing bauble at store x.

The money is not on AMAZON/EBAY/WALMART/APPLE. They are small time business with little financial importance. Eg the largest companies are some 20x Apple and is private and you have likely never heard of it. That's right around 10T.

then there are other state owned enterprises that are similar or greater in magnitude.

 microsoft has money because it takes 50$ of everyone every so often for an upgrade.

Gov's take multiples of that every day.

BTC will go to 100K and Peercoin can go further.
