Bitcoin will kill alt coins

[yunuzov]

Bitcoin isn’t going to kill any altcoin. Markets are connected to each other and bitcoin benefits from existence of alt coins. Bitcoin can’t go up forever . It will go down soon and alt coins will get back to power again. This is like a cycle. There is also that fee problem lately people will try to avoid making bitcoin transactions if fees keep on being that high.

I think it won't kill but the domination of Bitcoin gradually increased comparing to summer time.

That's not possible, the parent bitcoin of all types of altcoin. so how can a parent (bitcoin) kill its child (altcoin), and altcoin is an alternative way to get bitcoin. Maybe without altcoin can not develop, because now many tokens or altcoins are popping up. This will bring or help keep bitcoin growing annually.

Bitcoin will not kill altcoins. Cryptocurrency Market CAP is 519 B., Bitcoin is only half total Market CAP.

Now other altcoins like Ethereum, Ripple and Litecoin have a large part of the market, we are no longer dependent only on Bitcoin

[georgemamat]

Strong projects will remain in the long run. Maybe some projects may even gain the ability to act independently of Bitcoin. The big event will happen. I do not know when it will happen.

most likely the other altcoins will follow him, many of them are more functional, or in a completely different area

The bitcoin gives a big hammer to the altcoin prices. Majority of the stable token gets a big impact caused by the bullish of the bitcoin. The major altcoin with strong suppot don't give any impact caused by that will be following the bitcoin pump asap.

Currently altcoin prices are rising again after a long decline due to bitcoin price increase. Capital from altcoin is being withdrawn and transferred to bitcoin should make the market more volatile. But I think the crypto market will stabilize after 2018.

see ripple. it is altcoin. it is not decentralized. you see how it to da moon. see ethereum. it is altcoin too. It better than bitcoin 1000000%

Bitcoin does not seem to stop growing

2018 Altcoin is dead

I know bitcoin does not stop growing but it does not mean altcoin will die in 2018.
What make you pretty sure in 2018 altcoin will die? Etherium, litecoin, waves and ripple are growing more well than bitcoin in percentage.

Will hardly happen. Altcoin will continue to exist and grow despite Bitcoin's rising prices. I think it will affect significantly but it won't reach to a point when Bitcoin will eventually kill all altcoins. We have to consider that Bitcoin and Altcoins may have different uses. The majority of the altcoins are highly specialized in its uses, so I think they will still continue to exist independently of Bitcoin and its fate.

The point is altcoin still active on its development. But remember the bitcoin has a relatiuonship to the massive adoption of the crypto. When bitcoin grows more and more. The altcoin demand will be jumping to the bitcoin. Panic sell, flash crash and another bad thing will be happened in altcoin But the important thing about this will be temporary.

I doubt that to happen  because altcoins has so many investors  and buyers  that shows they trusted the growth alts was showing in the market .. many buy bitcoin but they also buy  altcoins so impossible your spec would hapoen in 2018.

Bitcoin won't kill altcoins but it will kill shitcoins. Legit altcoins grow when Bitcoin pause its rally. Right now we are in a long bull trend, maybe the end of it. Whole market will lose %90 of total marketcap when at the bottom of bear trend. Bitcoin won't be the only one affecting this, but there is still time for that.

[zolfa]

yes, it seems like it will happen, but I still see some altcoin that will survive, like ETH, doge, litecoi, and 10 best altcoin first.

Trust me, it won't happen because of the bitcoin will not grow up to be the most expensive coin forever. the altcoin will appear that will surpass bitcoin and might make bitcoin destroyed.

It kill bitcoin if we summarize all of altcoin value in one package but for now , I can say altcoin still can't beat bitcoin as far as I've experience trading over 3 years.
LTC is the coin that I thought will able defeat bitcoin but the fact is bitcoin still stay on the top

If you consider from a month now their has being a good rally in the prices of altcoins which is due to BTC price rise and getting the future listed in exchange . So in coming time it might be possible that other altcoins will also get listed and this will be a booster for such coins.

So BTC is helping the other coins in a way by showing the right direction .

[sorin90]

I don't think so. In fact there's even a possibility that bitcoin will be killed by the other altcoins. Just as bitcoin  gained popularity and strenght so will other altcoins do. They could co-exist but i think there's a small chance for bitcoin to kill them all

[astrid.uchiha24]

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.

very much agree, i think you are just looking at the total price versus the total price of alts but if you look at the difference which is the change rate alts has been faster most of the time.
