No way.

Almost everyone has a strong opinion on Monero regardless if they like or dislike it and it's near impossible to convert people to the opposite camp.

Edit: ehh, didn't see OP's name at first, shouldn't have replied...

Don't buy Monero, buy BITCOIN. BITCOIN is the king and will remain the king because the king is Bitcoin.
We should buy BTC. Everything is paired to BTC. BTC is what you need in your wallet, baby.

I believe that top 10 coin are all threats to bitcoin hard fork because if bitcoin split into 2 blockchain, it will fall behind and people will find another cryptocurrency which is safe enough to put their money in and those top 10 coins are their best choices.

Bitcoin is transparent digital gold. Monero is private digital gold. Both have their place.

Monero is not a threat to no one.   Monero is here to use for anyone who loves privacy security and untractability. True fungible digital cash.

Are you a holder of a lot of XMR coins? Do you like this fungible digital cash? Have you used it to buy things on the internet and enjoyed the untractability and security of the transaction? Monero is a very interesting coin with a very interesting history in my opinion

split or no split, BTC has serious issues.
I'm betting on Monero and Waves. I love Waves.

No, Monero is a good and potential coin but it is not a theat to any coin yet, most of the people prefer to used it for trading not for a currency, and when Bitcoin got problem people will run to litecoin or eth, Monero still far from bitcoin's alternative

I picked up 100 xmr just in case after alphabay fell lol. I don't think it'll pick up much if any marketshare if btc plunges, but it's just a useful coin to have.

Yes Monero is a direct threat.

It's what Satoshi feared most back in 2009.

I don't consider monero a real threat yet for bitcoin if there would be a split after all, people don't consider it to hedge funds when bitcoin market price movements becomes too crazy. Either way, I still think that monero is a good coin to invest into and has a lot of potential. It is also good to use when you want anonymity. If bitcoin were to split though, you are right that people might look for alternatives but there is a chance that they will use the more dominant chain of bitcoin.

Uhm, coming from the onionman, I think this thread is not biased. It's not one-sided because he is clearly not a die-hard supporter of monero.  Grin

On a more serious note though, first, there is no bitcoin split happening.
Second, monero is no second bitcoin. So if ever there will be a split, which is quite impossible as of now, people would simply not automatically jumpship to monero.

All right, case closed!

Impossible. Bitcoin is the king of all coins, this is evidenced by higher prices and all coins based on bitcoin. That's my opinion

I think Monero is one of the safer altcoins out there. Not sure it has ETH June 2017 type rocket gains in future, but hard not to see it continue to slowly go up in value
