What if another altcoin surpasses BTC in value?

[happyme1818]

What will you do if some altcoin (XMR or ETH for example surpasses the value of BTC, either in market cap or by the price of a token each? Will you sell your BTC to buy the more "valuable" coin, or continue using and holding BTC? Also, what do you think are the chances that it could happen? I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions.

The chances that will happen is high because of competition of all altcoin. But it would take some time before it happened. If that happens I would still keep some of my bitcoin.

It's possible, however, I think for now it is not. Because as you know bitcoin started unpopular and it already had established it's name in the crypto currency world. So, I think there's no crypto currency yet that can surpass what bitcoin had gone through.

I dont think that is going to happen, i remember that there was a coin that was like ten thousand dollars, and i saw it on coinmarketcap, but it is no longer in there, probably that was the most expensive coin that has been listed on coinmarketcap, i saw it like in August i remember , and ten days later it was delisted. Who can invest in those kind of ico's? i still dont understand it.

I think yes, one day, one other cryptocurrency altcoin will surpasses BTC in value, because bitcoin not immortel, there is a time which the coin will die, but i don't think that is soon, bitcoin is not popular yet, so I think maybe after 30 or 40 years later, and then another crypto will surpasses bitcoin value.

If that will happen, then we must accept the reality that it is a part of bitcoin journey. Even though other alts surpass bitcoin but still I'll keep holding on it because there is a big possibility that it will back again. Unless bitcoin price almost zero value, then its time to shift for another one. Anyway, they are all digital currency and belongs to crypto world, it's gonna be the same process in making transactions.

They might pass it in terms of value, but not in terms of global adoption. Bitcoin will forever remain the baseline coin, like gold is

Altcoin beat the bitcoin price, it may happen, considering the price of other digital coin also increased and did not close the possibility will be equivalent to bitcoin price even more in the future. and if that happens, of course I will invest my money to a more profitable cryptocurrency, I will not sell my btc to buy another digital coin, but I will invest in both.

I think that Bitcoin will still as the first valuable crypto currency online for a very long time. Actually all the altcoins depend in teir prices and trading status with Bitcoin, I am not seeking any altcoin could surpass BTC in the near future at least

Please, read this thread carefully. There are several altcoins which are higher in value than Bitcoin. Do they really cost anything is another question, but it is a fact that their price in USD is higher than of Bitcoin's.

But if we reformulate the topic question to "Can any other altcoin be more important than Bitcoin?" then I would answer no, Bitcoion has always been and will always remain the most important crypto.

[helars2008]

For me the situation wherein a certain coin can surpass the bitcoin's price in the future is simply impossible.
Bitcoin is now being looked upon by some people as jewelry that someone must possess.  And this adds to the reason why its price continuously grows despite all of the hindrances.
Therefore other altcoins may drastically increase in price but never to the point that it can surpass bitcoin.

I think that only one coin can exceed the cost of bitcoin. The ether has a leader - Vitalik Buterin. He is actively engaged in improving this coin. I see no other options.

For a long time now, Vitalik's Ethereum is considered to be the next in the throne of the one occupied by Bitcoin right now. But for now, it remains to be a potential rather than a fact as the value is now playing in the vicinity of $300. Now, I am holding both Bitcoin and Ethereum because I believe in the potential of these two cryptocurrencies. However, we don't have the future in our hands as there can be things to happen beyond our control...both Bitcoin and Ethereum have both history of crashes but they could also gain back fast.

Now, what if Ethereum would one day overtake Bitcoin in terms of value? Well, we should then accept it in case it would be true...there is no problem with that and I would still continue holding on both coins. I am sure that Vitalik would be so happy if this can come true soon. For now, Bitcoin remains to be at the top even with the recent bans in China.

as far as  i know bitcoin is the chief of cryptocurrency  because it is first coins which crypto based. i will keep use bitcoin. of course there is very possible to another cryptocurrency compete bitcoin but bitcoin has so big community of users as well. it would be very long lasting.

[AndriyPilipyak]

I think it can be even coin with is already on coinmarketcap,maybe bcc, but ether have chance also

We all know that Bitcoin is the number one cryptocurrency in the world. So, to beat down Bitcoin is not easy and will take decades.
But, I heard some people say that other crypto like ETH is developing something that will surpasses the BTC. Maybe it's protocol.
We will see in the future. For me personally use Bitcoin as investment and collect only. I want to mine, but not with Bitcoin.
That because the price is too high and the competitors is too much right now. The mining system will get harder too.

I have the same thought that BTC is the most important crypto money that has been kept by wider usage for the investors. Due to the expectation on the long run btc might perform better than all, this is what we have current situation. It increased more than 400% in this year compare to last year, it fluctuates a lot but in a period of time it is worth to keep it.

There is no big deal if some altcoins surpasses the bitcoin in value because it is just a value and they can't surpasses bitcoin in features and the things that bitcoin has. Bitcoin has a lot of great things that can be only found on itself and any altcoins doesn't have any chance for that to beat bitcoin and replace it.

[Panah Arjuna]

I think the possibility is very far, because in terms of price BTC has a high price compared to other altcoin.
It took a long time to compete with BTC.
I think that for the moment there is no altcoin like it that can do that, but in the future it is likely to happen.
The only currency that can exceed the value of btc is eth. It became very popular.
Fast transaction time and low cost is plus plus value over other btc.
So just enjoy what is right now and not be afraid about the upcoming changes.

There is always the possibility of that happening, in my opinion BITCOIN has the highest value because it's the pioneer in the world of cryptocurrencies but as time goes on more and more cryptos will come out and investors are actually the only ones who can make another coin value go higher than bitcoins if they feel it will make them more money.

In my opinion there is a very little chance that it will happen. Using the scale of 100% there is only 15% that it will happen.
But if it will happen, I think we will be the one that will benefit from it also because aside from additional investment we can also gain additional profit from both coins.

i think it never happen but similar to bitcoin atleast ,if that will happen i think i will go to high value coin and invest a little in bitcoin then try to be expert in new coin like i search wallet or anything to know the new coins high than bitcoin

What do you understand by the term "Altcoin "? The new coin you're talking about is an Altcoin and so no new coin can be another Bitcoin even if their operations are similar and uses the blockchain as well.
