The next Bitcoin?

[Tyrantt]

I've always had the idea that the bitcoin is the best and most valuable just because it's the first one to be. Blockchain technology is a more important thing and it's alrdy providing more usefulness in other area than cryptocurrency. Also, Bitcoin will probably remain the strongest but there just might be some alt-coin that will replace bitcoin in some areas like gambling or any other more specific area hat some other coin is more suitable for.

As a bitcoin lover i always wish that it will never happen but it is not impossible. Of course if there would be a currency offering better services than bitcoin surely the users will get attracted towards it. People need most profitable and reliable currency to earn more and more, if they find a better currency than bitcoin than they will go for it.

Bitcoin is proven and tested. I think IOTA, Deeponion and ofcourse ETHEREUM is the best choice we can substitute for BTC.

Dear Bitcointalk community,
we all love Bitcoin because it has some great features, but what will happen when another cryptocurrency will be used as much as Bitcoin? Mainly because it has all the things Bitcoin offers but better?
I wrote an article about this idea on Steemit and I would like to hear the opinion of some Bitcoinveterans.
Please tell me what you think and don't hold back your criticism.

I see Etherum have potential if they have faster transaction confirmation from any coin in the world..

ETH is more potent. But more people know BTC more.

There will not be a "next bitcoin". The fact that every altcoin is being compared to bitcoin says a lot. People won't just neglect what is being used for years now for a new coin. Even if that coin has all the things bitcoin offers but better, bitcoin would just be upgraded, like it just did.

I think all zhe altcoins asre only compared to Bitcoin, because it's No1 with the highest market cap and the biggest increase in value. If there would be another cryptocurrency worth more, Etheereum for instance, (on place 1), I think most would like to reach this goal of becoming No1 instead of becoming like Bitcoin.

I do not think there will be "next bitcoin" but what happens is "next altcoin". As we can see this year, a group of ICOs came and introduced their platforms, bringing new innovations, visions and missions. One goal is to compete with prices or perhaps even exceed the bitcoin price. But it does not seem easy. One reason is "bitcoin is the originator of Cryptocoin". Beat the community first, then "maybe" beat bitcoin. Until now bitcoin remains number one.

Do you know nothing is forever? Even paper money, gold or other asset, the value and ranking of them on the world always change after long time. Bitcoin is also affected by this world's rules. Therefore, you need ready in someday Bitcoin will replaced by other crypto on market.

[EllaPonchik]

I think the next bitcoin will not be, we already have one. Why do we need one more? The main currency is, let the rest be secondary.

[Shofiqul]

ETH is my next choice after BTC.It has a great future.My probability sense assumed ETH hit 1000$ very soon.Even BTC is king today and there may be a long time after any altcoin can create a competition with it,but everything is possible.  

[bebrave]

I think there will be a coin to equal bitcoin, or get up there and about it.  This coin will have to be more open to the public and reward the public for using it.  I believe Minerva could be up there one day, who knows.

[iv4n]

There will be no next bitcoin in some near future, bitcoin is holding strong first position and all others all far behind. I complaint on high fees, before we complained on slow transactions, but no matter how much we cry about bitcoin we come back to bitcoin and we continue to use it. Other alts have some innovations, they have cheaper and faster transactions but still they are just alts and they are not spread like bitcoin is. Countries already accepted bitcoin and I doubt that some alts will be recognized in same way in some close future, after who knows how many years we can see some alt replacing bitcoin, that is possible but chances are very low for that to happen.

[BitcoinNewsMagazine]

DeepOnion (ONION) is no. 282 in marketcap at CoinMarketcap. Purple unicorns will fly out of my ass before this POS coin breaks into the top ten. The possible next bitcoin is looking you in the face at no. 3 spot just behind Ether. The fight over the next three months will be epic.

[Pfizer]

Thanks for the steemit article. From my point of view, I don't agree with the opinion of new/next bitcoin. There won't be another bitcoin. There won't be another powerful one. Bitcoin paved the way for whole community by creating the cryptoworld.

[DigitalLemming]

I can see eth over taking bitcoin. It was only 1 billion away a few months ago.

Yes, bitcoin is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that is powered by its users with no central authority or middlemen and every other altcoin still review bitcoin code to make their own
 modified version of coin software. But, this is not the main reason why bitcoin will always take the lead. They main reason is that bitcoin was create to fix our current financial system, give power to the powerless and to put food on a common mans table.

I actually don't think that this thing your saying will really happen. Because what ever the future better coin you are saying can always be beaten by bitcoin because whatever better things that coin have, bitcoin can also have. That is why the devs are working hard to imorove bitcoin more and more each day. And as a person, i trust bitcoin morethan any alternative coin out there. And would really choose it over any other coin because it has experience it has already proven its strengths and that all of its weaknesses has solutions. That is why i think a pop up coin wont be able to beat bitcoin.

Although i agree with you on some levels, I don't on some. Because you see, as what we all have witnessed in the past days, months, and years, the world of crypto currency is something that no one can predict(unless you have psychic powers though). We can all only speculate on some theories each other have and hope we make the right decisions. So with that being said, im gonna be more cautious.

[Nivir]

I personally think bitcoin is incomparable however you can say or speculate that steemit might be next to bitcoin. It has pretty features and projects sounds promising too, but we can never tell if steemit will surpass bitcoin. There might new coins that will try to take bitcoins place but it will take a lot of time and effort for that coin to overcome bitcoin, it has gone through a lot and it is still the number 1 crytpcoin until now and as you could see nothing is slowing down bitcoin to increase its value.

[Erowind]

Betamax was the superior technology but VHS won out in the end. I think bitcoin will have a place for a very long time and I doubt another coin will defeat it in being the main currency. For DAPPS and other things though, something may one day have a higher market cap than BTC.

[Tamilson]

This is always be the issue here, that there will be a coin that soon will surpass bitcoin in all terms.
I don't think any coin will do this, bitcoin has prove and established itself in the market for some many years.
Yes there are issues needed to be resolve but this isn't the mainstream. Bitcoin will always be the top in crypto world and no other be.
