if bitcoin dies, what alt would you go for?

[BiTZeD]

I would go for Ethereum, no question asked ! I believe this is the second greatest crypto-currency after Bitcoin. It has a great use case, a great support and a great safeness and set of services. A good crypto-currency in short.

I would without any doubt go with DASH (https://www.dash.org), its what bitcoin was meant to be!! Enough said! Bitcoin's days are numbered .... and those that understand cryptocurrency well and want to save their investments the best most sane move to make would be to DASH, once the Evolution release kicks in (https://www.dash.org/evolution/) and the masses adopt it for everyday use then you will see a big reversal and bitcoin will be priced in Dash!

I do not need red letters and stuff to clearly state that Ardor solves the scalability issue as no other crypto-currency is doing at the moment.

[spatifilium]

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.

Definitely going to LTC or DOGE.

LTC for stability and price is slowly increasing olso
DOGE because to me this is a great coin and regardless of the value that is not great, but to the amount I have and therefore I keep collecting them all the time

[hasiramasenju]

bitcoin is the mother of cryptocurrency i have doubt there is an altcoins able even pretty near to the popularity of bitcoin however if this is happened i would not stick for only one altcoins because for me it depend which altcoins have concept similar just like bitcoin and probably my pick will drop to the most popular of altcoins in the world

[Hueristic]

I will go to Ethereum .The community are big and the acceptance based on other cryptocurency is much higher .A successful crypto i think that can also stand alone without bitcoins as its stability itself.

Why don't you guys go read my post a few up from yours and then go and research what it means. The bolded made me choke on my coffee, that is hilarious, did you actually have a straight face while typing thay or are you just that ignorant of the subject?


Here I'll help.

A gentle introduction to immutability of blockchains
Posted on February 29, 2016 by antonylewis2015   

In the context of data security, the immutability of data stored on blockchains is important. What do people mean when they say “Blockchains are immutable”? In this post I try to explain the key concepts.

It may be useful to read introductions to blockchains and Bitcoin if you have just arrived here or are unfamiliar with them.

bitcoin will be priced in Dash in 1-2 years  

True. HODLcoin is good for hodling, not for spending.

[aakashsangwan]

If bitcoin dies in near future, I'll most probably be investing the money in dash, Monero and ethereum.

[Rodeo02]

i will not stay in one altcoin if bitcoin die i plan to divide all of my investment to other altcoin  for example ltc,eth,dash, etc .but i already do it now even the bitcoin is not dead i only give 20% of my investment in btc and the other 80% in the altcointhat i think have a potential.

[Fibbage]

Just like I do now, I would spread out my funds into different alts opposed to one. I'd put my eggs in XEM, STRAT, and ETH.

[joshy23]

I would go to ETH/ETC or LTC. I have been slowly investing in those coins lately. Actually I'm saving some for future used. The price of this coin looks good actually and maybe I can benefit from It who knows. And as just they say. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

[abhinav703]

I will go for litecion definitely and XMR will be on the list too

it would be the final demonstration of what i've suspected for a long time. as long as the dollars are rolling in, not enough people really care about what bitcoin was designed to be.

and maybe bitcoin itself is no longer designed to do it when you look at the deformed power structures that've developed. at least it's never rolled back.

[Salicorne]

I think I will go for Monero, it has a great community, and I like it. But Bitcoin will never die, so...

[johnwest]

Nothing is Permanent on this Earth and every generation said the same thing about every new technology so you cant give the universal statement. Monero has good community support but ETH has more and more popularity among the cryptocurrencies after Bitcoin.

Scaling issues aside, a PoW (proof-of-waste) coin will not be replacing the first failed PoW.

You guys realize that the BTC miners are using as much electricity as a smaller western modern country.
All it does is to move the control over the currency to where the electricity is the cheapest, and the company that can develop the most energy-efficient chips.

All this electricity has a price. This price is draining the users of value.

It's the most inefficient payment system bar none. To think that once BTC is out of the way, we would move on to the next giant resource waster is to simply not understand the markets.

all true but if you look into the electricity situation the cheapest is electricity that's otherwise going to waste. they've built mines next to hydro plants in china that churn out power that no one's using.

mining will become more efficient, electricity production will become more sustainable. in portugal recently they last something like three and a half days on pure renewable power recently.

1. No, it's not going to waste. You simply do not build new power plants.
2. If mining becomes more efficient, you simply mine more. You do not choose to mine less to have smaller bills.
3. If energy becomes cheaper, you can do other useful stuff from it, like drive a car. Not waste it completely.

You simply fail to understand that the BTC miners pay at least !!!!!! 6 billion dollars !!!!!! A DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Could be towards 20 billion or 40 billion as well, I just took a ridiculously cheap price.

If you do not see a problem with this, I don't know what to say.

Honestly if Bitcoin dies, I think that the Altcoin Market won't last long. Let us think of a reason first why Bitcoin will be dead. Probably its big like the government is taking action of making Bitcoin illegal. With that being started Bitcoin will drastically have a lower demand, But I don't think Bitcoin users' next step will be finding am Altcoin to replace Bitcoin. Because they know that Cryptocurrency in general has now have a bad image to the government. Also Bitcoin being dead can greatly influence the Cryptocurrency in general, being the father of it all is obvious.

[Nathan047]

If I had to choose one than I would probably choose either LiteCoin, Monero, or Etherium; although I think that a crash in Bitcoin would cause a crash in most every altcoin.

Honestly, if Bitcoin crashes I will probably call crypocurrencies a failure and quit using them.
