Do you think there'll be an altcoin that will take over Bitcoin?

It's going to be XMR, because we have a really nice and progressive community. It's true that there has been no official wallet introduced in 1.5 years since the launch, but I'm sure that our developers can make it happen sooner or later!

The market cap of XMR is still lower than Bytecoin. It seems there are more active developments in Bytecoin.

Well XMR is a fork of Bytecoin, I guess bytecoin got talented developers

There are no altcoins that can take over bitcoin. Many of the altcoins are created to take away bitcoins from other users. Unless an altcoin can attract real world use, then there may be chance it can take over bitcoin.

I think so, Bitcoin will pave the way for a wider understanding of cryptocurrency then I would imagine at some point one will emerge that will take it one step further, but Bitcoin I would think will always be around as it has made too much of an impact now to just die off, it could be treated as a higher value coin similar to gold and used for long term investment?

why not! Every thing is possible!

[harizen]

If more Bitcoin development will be present in the future then Bitcoin is hard to take over.

If Bitcoin development will just remain as it is today possibility of other altcoins to take over are possible "but" of course to make this altcoin beats bitcoin, development of that altcoin must surpass of what Bitcoin is today.

Yes, of course. Bitcoin is so 2009! lol

Well think about it this way, if bitcoin fails, what makes you think we won't keep jumping to other currencies?

An 'altcoin' (aka: linked into BTC one way or another) will probably not take over BTC.

Another crypto financial system with it's own (independent of BTC) currency may take over and establish as the number 1 crypto solution, which BTC has not been able to produce.

That could be Ethereum. However, we can create a financial system based on bitcoin.

I don't know about an altcoin that will overtake Bitcoin, but I know of an altcoin that will takeover other altcoins.

Eth or XMR?

XMR most likely.

A lot of projects such as ETH and DASH only really exist because they've found a way of pumping money into supporting their existence. It's a case of life-support-machine mechanics: The heart is beating but without support it would simply die.

There's simply no substitution for a large genuine community, and that is why XMR always has the edge, as well as having the better technology anyway.

As for Bytecoin, well classic example right there: It has a high market cap, but only because it exists on HitBTC which is an exchange controlled by the BCN developers. Remove the curtain, and becomes painfully obvious that no-one actually uses Bytecoin at all. It literally has no community whatsoever.

So it's important to be wary of smoke, mirrors and hype that is derived from money pits rather than solid roots.

could be possible? yes, i think it will be real in next years? no

i seriously doubt that an alt coin can have the same backup that bitcoin already have, just look on how many millions of money have been already invested in bitcoin and all those companies who are winning money by manufacturing hardware...

Eth or XMR?

ETH and XMR might be more valuable than other altcoins, but they're not actually taking them over.  That's what BARR is trying to do.
