Surely of BTC is the main trading pair with alts then BTC will always be growing as any alt grows!


Saying that, people are stupid, of course Bitcoin can be bettered, it's only a few years old it's not the fucking constitution. We will probably look back on BTC like we do Sony Walkmans in the future.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Ethereum can.  Especially if a HF happens.

LONGGGGGGGGGG shots: NEM, PIVX, ZCash

I don't agree with you. Those you counted up there were pumped like x2 x3 just because of the hard fork rumors of Bitcoin. Some people shifted their money from BTC to those altcoins. When the rumors were cleared, pumped altcoins will face a hard dump, I think.

Short term, if Bitcoin forks and drops hard, ETH could temporarily be the leader.

But long term, I think the question is whether one of the alts will really get used.

For ETH, it's not really clear if the "dapp" projects in the pipeline really will get traction. They are hyped, but it's to be seen if they will be used. The most promising for me is Makerdao, although development is slow.

Other alts that bring something new that coud lead to a higher usage are Ardor (interesting "sharding" model with "childchains") and Decred (governance, "hard fork voting").

Depends a lot on the time frame doesnt it.

This year in 2017? I dont think its that likely, but I think within 10 years its entirely possible.

I assume, ethereum has some potential to grow big, but still, is it possible for any altcoin grow bigger than BTC? There are lots of promising projects out there...

Ethereum of any other coin, they are valued on the basis of bitcoins. I mean their worth in market is because of the bitcoins and hence they cannot eclipse bitcoins ever. I am not sure though that where the slow transactions take us, a lot of users lately adopted altcoins because of slow confirmations.
