Bitcoin may not be number one for long

[gulshan1]

Bitcoin is the base currency of the crypto world at a big level and no any coin can not beat this level. Yes there are some big coin in the market but they have not potential stand against the bitcoin. Bitcoin is becoming a big day by day. No body can imagine the world of bitcoin and Mostly people like only bitcoin. There are some people who have earned a big profit from it that people will not leave to it till their death.Some body think that there is alternate of bitcoin due to their very small thinking which is not compatible at all.

Bitcoin is just a store of value but it has good marketing. Other more useful coins will surpass it when they mature to the same level as bitcoin.

i think it is totally wrong bitcoin is going very famous with a very high speed and in future it is very expected that bitcoin will become an international currency and still bitcoin is leading in crypto currency and no one can beat bitcoin because the rate of bitcoin is increasing very quickly.

[Decalcomania]

I thought for sure it would take until the end of 2018 but it looks like this summer ethereum might pass it up. With the turmoil around BTC potential splitting, it might be very soon. IMO this is healthy, we will always value bitcoin for being the one that started it all, but it's time for a more dynamic and adaptable currency to take the lead.

I think it will not happen! For me bitcoin will stay no.1 forever. The bitcoin is very powerful and there is no altcoin that can beat bitcoin.

[mikki14]

I don't see other cryptocurrency that will replace bitcoin's position as no.1
Yes, they have potential, but not to the extent that they will be the next top cryptocurrency.
And as you can see, bitcoin is getting better after the forks.

[Fatanut]

I predict Ethereum will someday overtake Bitcoin. Realistically, it is just a lot better of a cryptocurrency all around.

ETH is something that has been serving as the alternative for the bitcoin. Ethereum slowly gaining more power and the same won't replace the bitcoin growth. Ethereum has been gaining more potential as more and more ico tokens were getting developed on the same Eth platform.

I don't really see Ethereum being the platform of some coins affecting the price of Ether. Maybe it helps keep Ether in the scene of things but at the end of the day, just because these coins under ETH contract are getting some light and some hype, it doesn't really increase the price of ETH. Right now, even with the thousands of coins under ETH contract, ETH is still going down while bitcoin's price is going up. It seems like ETH is just another altcoin, right? Just like any other, ETH is affected by bitcoin's movements and there's no stopping it. Not with these little coins under ETH contract regardless of how many coins are they.

Bitcoin is the base currency of the cryptoworld. Its movement is affecting the price of all the other coins. And no matter how much these new coins get in their ICO or how much hype they get in the trading world, at the end of the day bitcoin will always be the king. After a long time of trading altcoins, you will still convert them to bitcoins in order to cash them out and use some money in the real world. No coins have come near bitcoin's standing in the crypto world and I don't think there ever will.

Bitcoin has always been at the top it started it all. I don't see anything within the next few years that someone will take oiver it. As what the experts have said it will rocket sky high.

maybe it will happen, and we certainly can not know the true effect of division on bitcoin if it will be better or worst, we must remain objective but I think we should be prepared for the impending division and if the date of disunity will occur and they say that in the past month selling your coins is the best way or getting a wallet that can definitely change your bitcoin fast enough before bitcoin split occurs

Bitcoin now is very expensive and expected to be more expensive in the future. I guess, bitcoin will continue to excel for the long period of time because it's value attract more investor to invest with bitcoin.

Bitcoins are utilized by a large number of individuals and they additionally confide in bitcoins in light of the fact that the general population realizes that the bitcoins will dependably be the main and never be get down on the grounds that the costs of bitcoins are expanding quickly that is the reason I'm 100% certain that bitcoins will the main cryptocurrency ever and the cost will increment quickly so in the event that you need to be a mogul than simply put cash in bitcoins in light of the fact that it's the most least demanding approach to procure cash.

I think you really underestimate the first-comer advantage. I think more and more people will realize that altcoins will come and go while bitcoins is here to stay 

[Falgorn]

Since Bitcoin is completely covered by the law of the market and its rate depends on the ratio of supply and demand, everything can be. If Bitcoin does not constantly improve and eliminate its vulnerabilities, it is possible that some better coin with improved characteristics will receive more support than Bitcoin and Bitcoin will lose his place as a leader in crypto currency.

[helars2008]

For me the possibility that an altcoin will soon replace bitcoin on number one spot is very slight or even close to impossible.
Due to the that bitcoin has already been there for years,  and it has already gained the trust of a lot of investors.  And as far as i can see there isnt an altcoin yet that can surpass this as of now.

well i think bitcoin may not become number one for so long because it is now allready no one. And could no other coin surpass bitcoin because it is now the most amazing coin in the cryptofield and sometimes people didnt know or understand or maybe having an interest on what coin will be going to become number one this year as long as they earn.

[Mr.grin]

seeing its current development, I guess you're wrong. well, bitcoin will always grow, even now it's almost worth $ 7000, and probably will continue to grow. I think bitcoin will be number 1 up in the future.

I respect your point of view and good wishes for other coins too, but with time when they mature and become popular bitcoin will at the peak already so it will be at number one. It will bring some advancement in its policies so to increase the comfort and ease of people. And it will get recognized by many countries with time because its providing them a chance to get rid of their worse problem of unemployment and help to strengthen their economy.

[Fatanut]

Cryptocurrency market is unpredictable its impossible to know for sure. I admit that sooner or later there will probably be some altcoin that will beat Bitcoin.

Will 7 years count as enough time for your "sooner or later" for you. There's litecoin out there and it has been right from the start. It's better than bitcoin in some aspects but we don't see it coming near bitcoin. It's only recently when litecoin has received some light. Before that, it stayed quiet. Altcoins are just slightly better than bitcoin. That slight increase in technology is not enough to throw bitcoin away from its throne. That's why altcoin developers just accepted it and started to have a target market instead of having to try to beat bitcoin. Some coins were made for the purpose of gambling. Some are made for an even more anonymous transaction. And there are some that was made for a cheaper and faster transaction. On the other hand, bitcoin is the base currency of all cryptocurrency. Even with these advances in technology, bitcoin will still not be replaced and the proof will be it's still not replaced right now.

It will either take a huge leap in technology for bitcoin to be overthrown or bitcoin will have to destroy itself for bitcoin to be not number one for long.

[BitcoinCurve~]

At the moment even if you combined all of the alt coins on the market they wouldn't make up to Bitcoins current userbase or price. Bitcoin is still number one at the moment.

[Solosmart]

There are a lot of coins witch are popular right now and bitcoin is a unstable coin so bitcoin might one day go down very hard witch gives the opportunity for other coins to rise to the top. So you shouldn't go all in on bitcoin maybe try other coins aswell.

[Semaj123]

No one knows if that would happen because all of this are just speculative value.And we know that ethereum is rising up these days but i think it cant surpass its value.Bitcoin is the basis of all cryptocurrency so it cant be defeated by other altcoin.And for me bitcoin will still be the leader.
