What if another altcoin surpasses BTC in value?

[Wipro]

The only altcoin which is having a remote chance of surpassing the market cap of Bitcoin is Bitcoin Cash (BCH). I am quite skeptical about the other alts such as Ripple and Ethereum. Till now I haven't found anything to justify the huge market caps of these altcoins. On the other hand, BCH is having solid basics, and a good team to support.

Even BCH market demand not upto the mark when compare with the bitcoin's market capital value. It will never happen at all. Since bitcoin is the first and best digital currency none of the coins can compete with bitcoin at anytime even in future as well. Those altcoins will be able to compete with each other alone at anytime. You can invest on altcoin to make profit nothing other usage with those coins till now.

For the current scenario I don't see any currency beating Bitcoin. Maybe Etherum can reach to even more heights because of the potential it is showing currently. But the valur of Bitcoin will still be high in future compared to other coins as the price of bitcoin will also increase with time right?. If because of any reason there is a stop in the growth of Bitcoin prices then Etherum can surpass Bitcoin in the future.

This is actually interesting topic to discuss.
I imagine this is really possible, perhaps deep inside me even hope this could happen but we'll see .

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.

As of this moment, the value of Bitcoin is way higher than any alt coin so it will be hard for them to catch up since Bitcoin's market value is again increasing ,knowing that there will be a hardfork and if it will be successful as the previous one, altcoin might be left out. But that's still possible, the question is, will it be in long term? or how long will it last if it will surpass Bitcoin? Altcoins are good for short term investment, Bitcoin still is better in long term so I would stick to Bitcoin.

[AdamCooper]

It nearly happened with ethereum earlier this year. It won't happen unless more hard forks happen which might take some of the value of orginal bitcoin away.

For now bitcoin is strongest cryptocurrency out there, but it is not impossible for some altcoin to beat bitcoin on market. That altcoin would need to be better than bitcoin in everything, it need to be faster in transactions and it needs to be worth more than bitcoin. That would be for start.

[Bastime]

It's possible that any Alt Coins can surpass Bitcoin's value since Bitcoin was started as low as a penny on its first launched and the momentum of every digital currencies are relying on the help of an effective marketing and advertising as well as the core itself has the best impression to investors then its a fair game for the blockchain technology.

The value of Bitcoin is highest among all the altcoins and it is still increasing at a very fast rate.The only altcoin that has a tendency to surpass BTC in value is ETH .It is just because  of its growth rate in past few days but the chances are least or we can say it will take many years to surpass BTC in value . The demand for Bitcoin is increasing at a very fast rate which is increasing its price and making it the best investment asset.So i dont think any altcoin will able to surpass BTC in value.

I think the process takes a long time, but bitcoin is still a prima donna until an unexpected time. 

[bitbollo]

in the past there was some coins that was minted and distributed as "rare" coin, with scarce availability.
these coins have an individual value more then btc, so we have already an example.
but an altcoin that can be used by everyone and isn't distributed among all potential users, it's just useless.

by the way, it's really hard we see a new project like btc that could surpass in the value and even distribution.
now btc is already know by main stream ( a lot of people know it and people don't think you're completely crazy when talk about btc ) .
so imagine "the new btc" as promo for a new altcoins... no seems impossible to me...

Eventhough it is impossibe this will happen, but the question is interesting. If and only bitcoin will on its lowest dip soon over 1000$ below that is the only chance that either XRM or ethereum can surpass. But higher to that is too much expectation and much exaggerated. If I will rate it from 1 - 10 and 10 as the highest probability to happen. I would say 2 as of today. We might happen in the furture but only thing I can surely do is HODL bitcoin no matter what the price and I’m not much of an altcoin guy but opened for possibilities.

[RayvenPierre]

Right now this is very impossible to happen. Bitcoin has a very huge gap even from its closest comoetitor which is ethereum. With bitcoin's price still on the rise, it is hard to see any altcoin surpassing it not even in ten years.

if for altcoin can exceed bitcoin, i think still take a long time at least 5-6 years. and if it happens I will try to survive in bitcoin.
because if I think bitcoin will definitely stay better of altcoin

It is impossible for that to happen because the prices grow in parallel. When the bitcoin prices go up also the ehtereum price go up. On the other way if the they bitcoin price decreases also they ethereum price decreases.
The only altcoin that can surpass bitcoin would be a coin that is fully controlled by USA or CHINA government wich seems pretty impossible for now

[Hotel_Prodeo]

I think this is fair because all the developers are making better coins, what I'm looking for from bitcoin and other coins is profitable and as long as the bitcoin is profitable then I will use and if it is not profitable of course I leave it and replace it with another coin.

Yes the next future of crypto is eth . becuase if the supply of bitcoin is exhausted i think the bitcoin will going down little by little but for now i can say that the value of bitcoin is continiously to increase.

[Skyshark]

There could be a possibility that any altcoins could surpass bitcoin, its just that, its gonna take some time, we know that bitcoin is the leading coin out there because it has lots of investors, now if there is a coin there that would be the same as bitcoin that has caught the eyes of the investors, then I can say that it will equal to bitcoin, or it might even surpass bitcoin, but it will surely take time.

[ImHash]

Bitcoin will remain the number one like USD. other coins will compete like many are competing with USD.

It is not likely, but possible. I think it will be great to diversify. In fact, there're already very good reasons to diversify as some of the coins have very good roi.

The most important is the price obviously, even the market cap mean nothing in crypto world due to some reasons.
How if we discuss about this when an altcoin could reach at least $1000? There are few coins that ever reach that point such as bitcoin cash, byteball (almost) and Monkey (MNY), but none of them could stand at the point for a long time. Which mean, there's no any coin that could surpass bitcoin value.
