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.

iota. Although it aims B2B and M2M markets, not trying to compete with Goldman Sacks and PayPal.

yeah. i honestly think that's the only one that would meet my criteria for the long haul. i don't know if that's because i'd still be pining for a bitcoin and that's the closest equivalent.

Ethereum has too much infrastructure to fail (EEA, a near monopoly over ICOs, tons of dapp development, etc)

PIVX is the potential currency rival (not strong enough to rival the current bitcoin brand titan, but if BTC fell, I think PIVX would over take Dash and co)

ICN as the play to capture crypto market growth in general

Lots of other great projects I believe in too (NEM, ZCash, Bitbay, etc)

Ethereum 100%

72Million premine, unlimited supply.. This is not a good store of value and 100% would not replace Bitcoin.

I hope bitcoin wouldnot die and if it is to happen,then i would chose Decred because i think its the most under valued coin now.It has been developed by former bitcoin developers and i think it has good potential.

I'm not really a big coin holder and I do not turn to altcoins very much, but I think that Litecoin is a totally fine coin to replace Bitcoin in that scenario. Other coins do not seem to be anywhere near Bitcoin and they are all just pumps. Litecoin is the only good altcoin and it is much more stable than others.

I think people​ forget Litecoin basically is Bitcoin, just a bit faster and with fairer distribution. Satoshi is estimated to have one million bitcoins because he started mining totally by himself, not that it was his fault. Litecoin was announced fairly in the middle of a growing Bitcoin community. It's also one of the oldest coins so it's had time to get a broad base.

I don't know what to choose to be honest, I don't see any coin that as good as bitcoin for now, and very doubt the alt coin could survive for long term, maybe I will wait and observe what coin the majority people invested in, if nothing fit my criteria I will quit crypto world, but for now if I need to choose then I will go to either ETH or Litecoin

Ethereum is less scalable than Bitcoin.  There's hardly any users in Ethereum (only speculators) and the blockchain has bloated to many gigabytes.  There's also credible security concerns about the whole Ethereum technology after DAO.

Realistically, the 'old money' of Bitcoin will probably move over to the twin Litecoin.

There really isn't a viable "let's steal Bitcoin's userbase" strategy for alternates.  You have to go blue ocean and gain adoption from people who are not already in crypto.

There ain't no Revolution like a NEMolution.  The only solution is Bitcoin's dissolution! NEM!

Ethereum is several times faster than BTC. And raiden will come this month, and it will allow over 1mil TPS. Hardly any users ? There are hundreds of dapps, eth has real usage. Also check the volume.

You can invest into litecoin and depend on the 2-3 chinese whales, i won't. Every few days that wang guy tweets something to either drop or pump the price, because he alone has 35% of total hashrate.

If bitcoin was dead , I would consider XRP, ETH or DASH but XRP will be the most interesting coin for me . I believe that XRP will become a digital currency after Bitcoin and it can be a good payment method online in the future.

I am in favor of ETHereum. The ethereum thing is "in" now a days and many eth contract are becoming popular. Even t some coins are changing to eth contract I am sure ethereum will gain with the absence of bitcoin.Of course there are coins who are worthy to support also.
