Can any altcoin overcome BTC?

[robelneo]

hi guys i'm talking about Monero and ETH can they overcome Bitcoin for instance?, would that be technically possible?

At this point of time none,maybe in the future,developers keeps developing new features that can compete with Bitcoin features,so far many coins have attempted that,but they are still  behind Bitcoin in terms of adoption the concentration now is more anonymity..

Overcoming btc is a long way to go for any altcoin. Even looking thorough the ones we have currently, I see it as almost impossible to achieve from the fact that their real value is determined in relation to bitcoin itself, PR the fact that this community is about bitcoin, or even the level that the acceptance of bitcoin has reached in the outside world, then I say its no child's play if an alt is looking to overtake bitcoin.

Surpassing and competing bitcoin would really be hard on all altcoin and it cant easily follow its track on its earliest years since we all know bitcoin is already 8 years old and now its kicking already and being known by people gradually.It would take time for them to follow the steps of bitcoin but no ones knows actuallyo n what would happen on the future.

Yes ,

ETH never claimed 2 b a currency,
and XMR smells fishy

though I believe, they are no compatitors to BTC.

Why do you believe XMR smells fishy

well ethereum for sure can not. there is too many problems with it that makes it a terrible choice. for example bitcoin has only 21 million coins but ETH has more than 80 million which will never let its price go up.
also bitcoin has been being distributed fairly from the start and there always have been enough coins for people to get their hands on but eth has a huge premine ico kind of thing that lets the minority control everything in other words it is not decentralized. and all that is without the poorly coded source of ethereum.

monero is a good coin but i don't think it can get close to bitcoin either, it certainly has not so far! it may get big some day but i can not see it overcome bitcoin.

and the rest of the coins are just crap.

LOL hell no.

You have to ask ?
I could provide technical reasons why but the price says it all.

If a Bitcoin Killer is unleashed it will be obvious and the price will quickly reflect this.
I have said that since 2013 endlessly..

Talking about the possibility of some new coin in the future ?
I would say maybe..
But most likely a coin launched by a large well known tech company.

It would have aspects of a Bitcoin but be some what centralized.
It would be trade able on exchanges with some regulations.
It would be integrated into an existing eco-system from say a Microsoft or Facebook and..
there for be able to leverage their massive user bases for rabid world wide adoption.

The clock is ticking for a shitcoin to take the BTC crown.
Hell the clock is ticking for BTC itself.

PS:
Monero and ETH ?
I said before here i would go and light my money on fire before buying those two scammy shitcoins.
So i did.
I went out the next day and pulled out some twenty's and lit them on fire and came back and posted pic's of it.

With so many altcoins coming out that are mostly premine,I don't think there's a coin tat can overcome Bitcoin at this time,it is still the number one coin in the coinmrketcap and the gap is very huge that I don't think any coin will give bitcoin a fight.

[2012]

Still possibility exist for any altcoin to overcome BTC but how that is very big question at that level when without huge adoption and superb top notch technology still hard for buggy project to challenge the BTC.

No. It can not. Bitcoin is still number one. No altcoins can overcome bitcoin at the present.

[pinkpanther03]

So far I don't think that there is an altcoin  can overcome bitcoin, because all of the altcoins are just clone by bitcoin, which means they cannot reach the high price for what bitcoin have right now. And if that happens it will take several years or it can be a decades. so my conclusion is NO! or none of the altcoin can overcome BTC.

[marcoman22]

Bitcoin is almost 8 years old and ethereum and monero are just 2 years old. They have to cross long duration to reach the bitcoin price. Ethereum was first considered that it would overcome bitcoin, but due to hard fork they  did, it lost its trust to some extent. Monero is also best in terms of anonymity and recently it introduced ring signature. Bitcoin is still the unbeatable crypto currency and i think its very hard for an altcoin to overcome bitcoin.

[Immakillya]

Maybe. But as of now i dont see any significant altcoin that will actually replace bitcoin. Look at the price and you will know. Bitcoin is still reigning in the position in terms of price and market cap. I dont see any altcoin that is close enough to be a contender. But we'll see after 5-10 years. Maybe the story will change. Bitcoin is getting stronger and stronger every year of its existence. So it takes a long time to be replace.

every altcoin have opportunity to overcome btc but as 2012 said, but its need more step to do from each of the dev to make implementation or mass adoption like what bitcoin do, beside that the technology from the altcoin should not under in bitcoin and the dev should think a new innovation that more than bitcoin so they can do upgrade their technology to be new step in crypto currency.

Well,I should have been stop reading the post considering the amount of illogical stuff that line holds.

but as 2012 said, but its need more step to do from each of the dev to make implementation or mass adoption like what bitcoin do, beside that the technology from the altcoin should not under in bitcoin and the dev should think a new innovation that more than bitcoin so they can do upgrade their technology to be new step in crypto currency.

Open-Source is way to go.No one cares how taleted your developers are.

A corporate based crypto can overcome BTC easily.

A corporate based crypto can overcome BTC easily.

-Provided,it should be adopted by the community.Possibilities of which are zero.
-People are motivated to use cryptos because they want to get rid off the corporate shit in the first place.This is something the corporate cannot force.

Currently there is no, Ethereum will be a good candidate, they have genius devs, but frequent hard fork discredit the coin. But IMO Eth is still very bullish in the future.

[qiman]

Technically maybe one day in the future there will be another altcoin that will have some really big technological breakthrough but for the near future I still think Bitcoin will dominate, at least for the next five to ten years. I may be wrong of course.
