Bitcoin has no realistic competition at all. If you look at the evolution of the BTC dominance over altcoins metric, you will see that the average is always a strong 80%, you can use coinmarketcap to see it, click on "BTC dominance" at the top right side of the page.
Thing is, no other coin comes close in development, and of course in network effect which is like 50% of the strenght of a currency or an asset, and that is going to take a ton of luck for someone to strike with some idea that makes bitcoin irrelevant. I don't see it happening. A lot of people talking shit, but no one backing it up. Bitcoin remains king.
Agreed and to LanYu i say BTC.. for obvious reasons.
Why ? Regulations.
If BTC got govt approval and regulations it would be the death warrant for the others.
EXACTLY like how FIAT is approved and regulated.
You say it would take a NAZI regime to push it.
Well they had one currency right ? LOL
Although they did counterfeit a LOT of British pounds.. used a little.
Most of it was recovered from a deep lake bed many years later.
But spies used it occasionally in foreign countries.
Anyway LOL
It's up to the majority who is in control what happens.
I wish i had good solutions to make things better but i don't.
So i am stuck pointing out the problem.
Hence the topic asking you all what you think.
Believe it or not i highly value everyone's opinion on the internet.
