What is going to replace bitcoin?

[cxt07]

I believe crypto is not going away but it looks like in the near future bitcoin is going to be a afterthought.   What coins do you think have a chance at replacing it and being adopted for use?

[Yakult]

No one will know yet until bitcoin disappear. Every alt can definitely take over bitcoins, it will be a matter of how. If one coin can take advantage of the needs of every investors it will be the one to replace bitcoin.

Not sure if the thing that will replace bitcoin is invented yet. Even if it has been, we're not yet aware. We will know in the future, only thing we can do for now is to speculate and demand. If bitcoin is replaced by something that will be done by us, this community. So, what do you think bitcoin lacks and what can be done about it?

The fact that bitcoin price goes down doesn't prove that bitcoin is not good enough and should be replaced by another coin. I think Bitcoin will remain the most used cryptocurrency for a long time and probably forever,just because it is the main coin on the market and the most used one because it is the easiest to buy. When you think about blockchain or cryptocurrencies you obviously think about Bitcoin and thats why it is number one and will remain like that. I am sure there are going to be a lot of coins better than bitcoin at taxes, transactions and speed but bitcoin is also improving every year and it maintains itself on top

we also know that the crypto currency is utilizing the development of technology and development of the era so we can conclude that all crypto currencies will continue to grow and advance as the times and technology

There are many cryptocurrencies which claim to be better than Bitcoin. Usually, such coins are fast because of low traffic. There are some promising projects such as IOTA, but it will be really difficult for them to surpass Bitcoin. Many people associate cryptocurrencies with Bitcoin. Litecoin is faster than Bitcoin thanks to its lower time between blocks. SegWit has been already activated, it looks like Bitcoin has a chance to become much faster than it already is. Lightning Network is working on the mainnet, maybe 2018 is the year in which Bitcoin will become widely adopted by many shops all around the world?

[Kprawn]

You only replace something if something is wrong with it... so what is wrong with Bitcoin? We are ready for mainstream

adoption with the Lightning Network and the MemPool is basically empty and we have some of the best developers in the

world at the moment. Bitcoin is not perfect,  but there are no significant problems with it.

I don't think there will be any coin that replace bitcoin, there will be others that will have their own space and will be important like Ethereum but bitcoin will keep being the main cryptocurrency.

Why do you believe so? Cryptocurrencies are gaining value every year. Bitcoin would have to go below 5000 USD in value for us to start worrying. Nowe the price is still 6 times higher than it was in 2017. Crypto is going to become much more popular before it disappears. That is if it ever disappears completely. Computers or mobile phones didn't.

Bitcoin is dominated all over the world. And for me, bitcoin is irreplaceable. It does not change by hype or other existing cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is king above all cryptocurrency. I will not remove bitcoin to my portfolio just for other cryptocurrency. I am a 100% bitcoin hodler.

[samiraetn]

Bitcoin has made its place to the mind of people. It already has shown its actual face. And in future I believe it will be the most popular currency. So I do believe that in future only bitcoin will be the replace of bitcoin.

I dont think anything can replace bitcoin at the moment. Bitcoin is the on replacing the old. Bit coin is the future now. Specially with the rise of technology. I think bitcoin is tge pioneer and is setting the trend on how the future will be in terms of currency, money and trading. Beating the pioneer in a business is a very tough thing to do so i think bitcoin is here to stay for a long time.

I think that there is no coin that can replace bitcoin at this time. because coin all also follow the development of bitcoin

Many people ask this question and I have read about it many times. Sometimes I feel that people are not reading the forum properly and just go on creating the topics. You should really click the buttons at the bottom which says pages 1, 2, 3, 4... etc.

I know for new people it might be very tiring to the clicking but you should try it. Its really fun brother.

About your question, I am not sure whats going to replace the bitcoin but one thing is sure, bitcoin will be bitcoin forever and brands never get replaced but they might get copied. 

[GawirZZ]

maybe if bitcoin is really dead ethereum will replace bitcoin, because for now ethereum can compete with bitcoin and has been used by many people

[BitcoinNewbie15]

This is a very interesting question. I honestly am not sure what will replace Bitcoin, but as technology improves, older tech becomes out-dated. I recently have looked into DAG based crypto instead of Blockchain crypto. I think DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) has potential, and may usher in the next generation of crypto currency. While DAG does have short comings, it provides a lot of benefits that are currently impossible the Blockchain technology. I dont know if any of the current DAG based cryptocurrencies out there will be successful, but I do think DAG may be the future, if there are security improvements. With that being said, I look at Bitcoin as digital gold. I don't think Bitcoin will ever disappear. It is by far the most secure network out there, and has one of the best dev teams. Bitcoin can coexist with other successful crypto as a store of value.

Nothing will replace bitcoin, it is too dominant and there is no real contender. Ethereum has its uses with ICOs but it doesn't have brand recognition to be a well established currency.

[Tamrlan]

I most likely believe that eth is the next generation of bitcoin. But if that's true it will happen I feel it is not in the near future, many processes must be passed eth first to reach the peak like bitcoin. But whatever will happen positive thinking about cryptocurency maybe it can help us a little to support each coin and turn negative issues into positive

[pixie85]

For now Bitcoin is doing great. It's gaining value every year and offers ridiculous gains. Many people who missed the last train will want to hop in and wait for another one.
Maybe if the technology proves inefficient I'll start looking for a better cryptocurrency but for now nothing is as popular as Bitcoin.
