Bitcoin may not be number one for long

[MommyElsa]

In my own opinion still bitcoin on the top because there is no cypto same with bitcoin value and I think until how many years past no crypto can go to top except bitcoin in other words no one can replace bitcoin value.

We do have the same opinion,  i still believe  that bitcoin will remain the top digital currency because no altcoins that is now more popular than bitcoin.

Now at the moment there are so many types of earnings on the Internet one of them is investing I enter a story monitor and I recommend to all newcomers to even try.

I do not rule out that bitcoin can be overcome by other cryptomonets in the future but this will not happen in the next few years. People who have nothing to do with cryptovalues know only bitcoin and for this reason the general adoption phase will happen first with bitcoin than with other coins. When then the average user will be able to join this technology we may see overtaking by other cryptovalutes that can be technologically more advanced

[last7minutes]

i think this may not be true. bitcoin has been able to endure alot..

Nobody knows it, even the experts will never give you the answer. Meanwhile, as I see the richest people continue to invest in Bitcoin. I suppose they have more information about its endurance. I guess BTC will live long.

I think bitcoin will be number for a long time. Because as i see the market. Everytime bitcoin drops its value all altcoin drop their value also. But i don't take away the posibility that ethereum will be the no.1 coin in the future.

[taeewo]

Yes,we will still see some tokens that will overthrown btc in the long run, a token i think will do that must be supported by many  government and the use case must be in demand.

Yes, bitcoin brings the best coin technology, it's the hottest topic in the world, but in reality, nothing is forever, in a highly competitive market for crypto technology. Although bitcoin may stumble, imagine its dedication for a long time to be proud and it gives us the opportunity to change lives. What happens is not the first time we witnessed the bitcoin. there are too many negative effects on the impact of bitcoin. Please hold for a smart form when the market returns.

I believe the main rival of Bitcoin is Ethereum and Ripple, Both are capable of surpassing the marketcap of Bitcoin in future. But there are also high possibility for Bitcoin to remain at #1 for a long time. Taking the #1 spot from Bitcoin is not happening anytime soon.

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.

And almost a year later now, we can see you were wrong and you're miles off with your prediction.

Watch the coin prices on the Butfinex home page, over a period of a couple of weeks, to see how all the altcoins swing, based on the moves that Bitcoin makes.

[Dejech19]

That might be true. But I do not believe Ethereum will be able to hold their gains for long. Sooner or later the price has to go down simply because that is what markets do.

So always remind yourself not to get lost in the mania and try to stay objective. In a market like this, it is easy to think that the good days will never end.

I do think BTC will lose the top spot on the market cap sooner or later.

If that time will come bitcoin will not be number 1 but one thing for sure bitcoin will not end its existence.Another  coin may born but btc will always on the top.Hoping bitcoin will last for many years.

I just want to reply even though this is an old post. Based on your expectation, ethereium could surpass bitcoin by summer 2018. Well, the first quarter of the year is almost over and the eth price is still way more behind of bitcoin. It is actually more than a hundred percent lagging for the bitcoin price and I assume that even the end of the year, eth price can't step even half of the price of bitcoin. Nevertheless, it is still a good sign that eth price is continually increasing as the time goes by.

This is the long time dreams of some of the altcoin investors.But I think it's not possible for anycoin to replace the bitcoin.Many coins with good potential is live in a market ,but it's not that much easy to get the first rank in the Crypto market.Atleast a decade is needed for such things to happen.

[masterman]

I agree that bitcoin may not stay in the top for long. The current competition is so huge that the chances that something better than bitcoin will appear are increasing day by day.

[mkcube]

I dont think so.For me bitcoin will still be number one in all crptocurrency.I think no one can defeat botcoin.No altcoins becomes more popular than bitcoin.

Wow!....The 24 hr volumes are almost identical.  I never would have thought that they'd be this close so soon.

That' all you should know about these predictions.

Nothing seems a problem with bitcoin, right now ethereum has made a big growth. This makes people think that bitcoin might go down in value. But the reality is that more the growth experienced, more will be the competence and based on this always bitcoin stands first.

We should not compare these two in terms of price only. As an investor, you should make the judgement based on the returns you are getting on different investment options. Bitcoin prices are already quite high (about $10000) at the time of writing this post. Even with most optimistic estimate, it will  be about $30000 by the end of 2018. Now suppose, you invest in $100 worth bitcoins, you will get $300 at the end of the year. If you invest $100 in Ethereum at current price level, you will at least make $500. Similarly, you can get even better returns with other less priced coins.

[judemarco1996]

That would b possible, but who can tell.right now bitcoin is the king of all forms of digital currency and i think i will remain that way. Today there are so many interested in bitcoin,with the knowledge or information that has been in the market with all good positive comments that you can read about it it is quite impossible to put bitcoin to n end.

[walemil]

Bitcoin will forever remain a force to recon with in the cryptocurrency world. I don't see any altcoin overtaking it. This is not possible in near future as no coin has the potential to beat bitcoin. Ethereum which appears to be the major contender will take yet a while to reach $5k.
