Bitcoin will kill alt coins

2018 Altcoin is dead

No you're wrong. Most alts are superior to Bitcoin in terms of speed, scalability, security, anonimity...
So if BTC community keeps fighting each other with these hardforks it will probably be the other way around: alts will kill bitcoin.

[Red-Apple]

no it won't "kill" them.
altcoins exist because bitcoin exists and as long a bitcoin exists and it is rising, altcoins will exist. because us bitcoin investors want some place where we can easily invest our bitcoin and get more profit out and what place better than a shitcoin that is getting pumped and dumped.

it may however end up creating lots more altcoins.

[Lastsamuraj]

Dont panic.Bitcoin is getting to its all time avarage.It may take some time,but sooner or later it will happen.
And when it happens,people will start moving their dollars into alts so profit train doesnt stop.Peoples greed is an unlimited resource.

[greenfailure]

Yup, most solid alt coins are holding their USD value pretty well even in this bullish BTC run.

I would expect another april-may level bullrun in alts during 2018 as mass adoption of them becomes prevalent.

[AyCalvin]

I think as Bitcoin will grow so will alt coins. It will follow its trail almost, at a different price obviously, but of course go up

[xenomorphe1]

Some alts are going to die on 2018 and maybe some at the end of this year... But altcoins like Dogecoin will resist.

I have to disagree. Altcoins has a different market. There are a lot of hardcore altcoins investors who doesn't want to invest in bitcoin. So the market will not die down easily. And as much as investors flocking to the bitcoin ecosystem, there are also fresh blood being pump into the altcoin as well. Maybe bitcoin is really gaining a lot because of so much positive news around like the traditional financial institutions getting into the bitcoin picture.

But there are a lot of companies who are partnering themselves in altcoin like Microsoft, IBM and Accenture. And recently, Ethereum and IOTA is booming because of this news. So I doubt that altcoin will be dead, on the contrary it could boom next year.

If my memory serves me right. This year March - June is the best months for bitcoin. Ethereum hit its all-time-high during that time and a lot of altcoins also has a massive jump. Let's see next year though, but I'm counting that it will be the same.

Both bitcoin and altcoin need each other to survived, Its a perfect example of homogenous market.

I agree with you in terms of short term trading. BTC is king because of mass adoption. Everyone tom, dick, and harry is just now finding about bitcoin causing the price to surge higher. However, when these toms, dicks, and harrys learn about how much faster, more scalable, more secure, and more anonymous other altcoins are, im confident they will also then move their investments from bitcoin to altcoins.

Strange thing to say really, at a time when so many alts have reached new heights this year, and even these few days. I am holding Litecoin, which has never been so high, beyond all my expectations.

And Bitcoin has given birth to at least two new altcoins this year alone, remember Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold? Would they be around if not for Bitcoin? Short and simple answer is no.

Let us stop for a moment to think about where we are thanks to Bitcoin.

[penig]

If Bitcoin goes, it will take pretty much everything with it.  How many options are there to buy non-BTC crypto?  Just a few from the top 10 as far as I know, so it'll be difficult to push cash into alts, its going to come from falling BTC.

[sweerty1]

Even if bitcoin reaches to outer space altcoins won't die as they have so many different uses. Bitcoin grow even helps altcoin adoption more and more. I deny this claim.

[yhan2x]

I dont think altcoin will die on 2018. Bitcoin is unstoppable continue rising nowadays, but we dont spec what happen on the next day, months or years. Other altcoin give us a better profit to gain, its a good terms to claim.

[Poink]

Too many FUD spreaders...or just totally ignorant?  

BTC is king (for now), no question about that.  It's value is because of fame being the 1st.  No one can take that away from it.  These threads fitting coins against each other are USELESS.  Coins/tokens co-exist...some will die, new ones will be born...life goes on.

That said, BTC (being the 1st) is a dinosaur and trying to evolve (thus all the forks) to be more like the new "alt coins".  It's future depends on how well it will do.  Otherwise, it really won't have any use other than "holding wealth" while the rest have target future use.

For investors, both BTC and alts offer many opportunities, just waiting to be exploited by those who see it.  I am sure the ones who believe only on one will miss out.

Bitcoin growth that does not stop will certainly kill some altcoin, which can survive only altcoin that has function and usage

[ryjin1007]

its just common sense my friend without bitcoin everything will be gone. BITCOIN is the mother of all altcoins its easy to understand

There is a major fallacy in your logic.

I agree that BTC opened the doors for all crypto currency...BUT it doesn't mean they will disappear if BTC dies.

Did you and your parents disappear when your great-great grandparents die?  I know the answer to this...

[jingyang]

yes, you are right for some altcoins Bitcoin seems to grow constantly.
only a few projects can survive like waves ethereum ...

Not sure about that. if the bitcoin grow more and more altcoin will be following it but the fact that will lost a lot in the bitcoin value if the price of the altcoin doesn't increase a lot.
As the crypto trend and that makes the bitcoin looks like has unlimited demand in this time.

[rayk]

Than kill itself? Bitcoin can't live alone in this space. Actually it kills no coin, altcoins stay stable while bitcoin rises so the only thing happening now is bitcoin's rise
