if bitcoin dies, what alt would you go for?

[Jalum]

Ripple
Stellar
SingularDTV
IEx.ec
Golem

SingularDTV could have the huge price increase that everyone in that thread wants, as of now the price of the coin is very expensive so I would have to sit that out unless there's a huge dump.

The logical answer is ethereum but i guess better projects are out there. Not dash, but maybe pivx and stratis and nem

NEM = "new economy movement" that sounds nice at least, marketing wise. I have forgotten what NXT stood for and seemingly its a ghost town by now, not a prospering competitor. NEM and NXT stood on my notecard since when I began exploring BTC.
Maybe their Ardor rebranding can revive it? Nobody mentioned it so far as I have seen.

It depends!
If some serious bug is found in code this will be the end of all coins, because they are all copies. Trust will be lost forever, and i believe this advantage will be taken by big corporations and banks this is simple. Their solutions will save us all!
Else i don't see how Bitcoin can suddenly be dead?

so let's assume bitcoin has imploded. there's still an alt market and you're still committed to the concept of crypto.

where do you put your money after that? what other projects do you truly believe in long term? i don't mean the pursuit of quick dollars, i mean something that you're willing to sit on for many years with enough integrity and potential to really go places.

Considering how mining is a huge waste of resources, and the cost of the wasted energy is charged to the users of the system, the future is not by some proof-of-waste coin like LTC, monero or dash.

I would go for Ripple or PIVX.

It will be hard to get bitcoin reads now that it's increasing in number of user, lots of investor using bitcoin now and have lots of development it can be done to it. A big future ahead in bitcoin, but if ever that suddenly dead of bitcoin happens ,I will try to use XMR or make more research on the different alt coins possibilities of growing.

A quick look at coinmarketcap.com reveals at least 10 cryptocurrencies that were started from scratch and do not share any code with Bitcoin. There are more of them.

if bitcoin dies,, i will go for XRP

what a great venue to promote ripple as we all still waiting for the success of this coin might be possible to adopt by banks as they
continue to work it out and if that happen even btc fails crypto can still be carried by xrp as a good alternative.

[TravelMug]

Ethereum, obviously. This is the most likely choice for other user as well. The other coins you put doesn't look good for me to invest though. They would likely to go dead as well because of the low trading volume they have. Although mrai is also looking good from my perspective, but I doubt it can it can sustain it in the future.

[aioc]

Litecoin will implemented a segwit so I will go for litecoin,then ethereum of course bitconnectcoin is a promising coin and monero is such a steady coin,so I'll go for those coins if the unlikely happen but I doubt it will.

[posternat]

Now in reality, bitcoin is not going to die. It is still alive and have a good position that others. So now i am not accepting that bitcoin is die, That's why i am not comparison any other crypto with bitcoin.   

[Febo]

XMR is actually the good choice, fair mining and large adoption in black market, I will go for ETH, XMR, STRAT, GNT.

XMR is pretty good though I think that it's overpriced for the time being. The Darknet price pump wasn't worth the hype, there should be more people trying to use Monero instead of Bitcoin.

OPs question was not if any coin is to expensive right now, but which coin would took over dominant part in crypto if suddenly Bitcoin proves unsecured.

When you talk of prices, I think whole cryptospace it overheated and  we will most likely see serious corrections in upcoming months. Funny thing is that I totally disagree with you about  Monero. Monero will not correct much.

[sportis]

It’s a complicated issue, but as I see it the most sure thing, for me, would be that I could go back to fiat. But if we assume that I want to stay in crypto world I would go with two alts. The first one is ltc and the second in monero. Ltc because is some years around meaning that has gain the people's trust, and has some features like as faster block confirmation time and is cheap, so would be widely accepted from people. However the anonymity, privacy and untraceablility of monero inspires me what a cryptocurrency must be. If we want censorship then why not use paypal and visa cards which are buyer friendly medium of payment?

[pereira4]

I would go for a mix between litecoin, ethereum, xmr, zcash... if BTC dies it would be a gamble trying to find the right coin, so i guess diversification would be the right move.

It's not going to die tho, so its not even an issue.

[NoiseBoy]

While questions like these are fair, they belie an attitude common in crypto that is unwise in the extreme: going all-in on a single coin (or at least very short list). Most professional investors won't put more than 2-5% of their investment capital at risk in any one venture. The crypto space has fewer strong options, but I would still advocate no more than 5-10% in any one coin, 15% at most.

For instance, a lot of people have answered, "Ethereum," and I agree with that general sentiment. But remember it wasn't long ago that an attacker found a way to temporarily cripple the network. The next attack might be more successful, and that's true of every coin out there.

So say you want to put 25% of your stack into an anon coin. Don't ask yourself, "Which one is best," then all-in that coin. Instead, rank them and then distribute your 25% to ranking. You will do better on average in the long run splitting that 25% into, say, 3 different anon coins. After all, Monero was crushing the anon coin market until recently when Dash blew up. Someone who thought Monero (or Zec) was best would have benefited from the run up in Dash so long as they were at least a little bit diversified.

[layoutph]

My choice is ETH, I believe that someday ETH can be a threat to Bitcoin when new altcoins of today or incoming altcoins will be created under blockchain framework of eTH.

[EthSports]

Eth all the way even Microsoft is backing it up

[pearlmen]

I really dont know yet because most of the alts will have around here have not been able to live up to expectation and there are no generally accepted parameters to decide the good investment for those ones coming out on a daily basis. I am sure when that finally happens and bitcoin dies, then I won't be the only person affected and I will have no other option than to follow the community to the alts its choosing.

[cerejobastos]

I have whispered you the holy grail before, but here it goes again, Stratis
