I cannot see bitcoin disappearing from the map,there is just too much invested in it at this stage.
It might go through some changes but that is to be expected as it adapts to changing circumstances.
If I had to choose an alternative it would have to be Litecoin. I currently have Litecoin but not that much, about 15% in value of what I have in bitcoin. Will be buying a bit more to bring this up to around 40% over the next month or two.

Too much invested to see it fail? Dude this billion dollar of venture capital investment is nothing. I have seen 10-fold of that burned in other industries.

If bitcoin were to fail, you would surely have to go POS like NXT peercoin or even Ethereum if it ever gets off the ground

I think at this moment in time 'failure' will be related to its trust being destroyed, not anything technical. You can have the greatest tech ever but if it doesn't attract the trust and faith of people then it'll forever remain on one hard drive.

Nothing bad will happen to bitcoin. But if I will use the substitute of bitcoin in the market. Which will have the better share in the market, which will have the better price in us dollars or euro compare to other coins that will be the coin I will use.

If something happened to bitcoin so bad that u can't use it anymore, i wouldn't touch other crypto even with an isolated stick. You need to understand that loosing faith and security in bitcoin means that every crypto is going to be abandoned, since they are all created on bitcoin's image. But regardless of that, even in that scenario, i would still collect as many bitcoins as i could, since it has become a sort of habbit of doing so ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

It is true this. Every coin is something like a clone of bitcoin. Not a case every coin is connected with price with bitcoin and not with fiat money (with very low difference). But this doesn't know that is bitcoin have some stupid things and will be destroyed or destructed all then coins will have the same destiny. This maybe may be the occasion for them to be in appearance.

bitcoins just the gun fodder so a proper p2p currency can take hold ![Lips sealed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/lipsrsealed.gif) let the corporate, new world bankers types take it ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) But I fear if Bitcoin doesn't make it, it's replacement will be a Jp Morgan or bank of america block chain. New world banker types won't just try to take Bitcoin, they want it all.

Unobtanium, no doubt. Very small and clean chain due to low numbers (not even 1GB after 2 years running), secure network and 3 minute blocks does three times or more what btc does in tps - and faster - and less inflationary. I'm asking myself since ages why people don't switch to it and instead go through the pain with the bitcoin halving and high inflation. It's basically a faster bitcoin with lower max coins and less inflation. Unobtanium is Bitcoin on steroids. Also miners would need to go somewhere with their hardware and Uno is second strongest sha-network after btc.
Alternative Primecoin runs like clockwork. Fast, reliable, very good coin to sink money into. Never hardforked to my knowledge. Backed by botnet power - these lights don't go out.
Both coins huge unrealized potential imo - and i have looked at a lot of coins, man. All the rest is fucking crap for being a store of value (which is, i think one of the main purposes of a currency).
Also people have to go somewhere immediately in case btc fails, not in 2 or 3 years. We don't have time to wait for promises or new coins. We have to take what's on the market now when btc fails. I think the crypto-landscape could be much more interesting again for speculators after a bitcoin fail. Overall marketcap probably will drop to the floor for a little while but later we'll see healthy competition and good pumps i'm sure.
Altcoins need to step up their game.

If you mean bitcoin will lost its value, then I dont want to use any cryptocurrency again, since I think bitcoin is the strongest cryptocurrency. But if you mean bitcoin will be changed to new cryptocurrency which it is better and stronger, then I will prefer to use the new one.

If something bad happens to Bitcoin, then I'll stop using crypto-currencies all together. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) If the best crypto-currency is unable to survive, then how the others are going to do us any good? Death of Bitcoin will be the death of all crypto, period. Without Bitcoin, the crypto-currency payment method will be obsolete. I was thinking exactly the same... It's strange that it took almost 8 hours for this reaction to come ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) In this case, many people have come a real panic. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
