Will Altcoin be as important as Bitcoin?

[Omtamvan]

I don't think it's possible at the moment, because the United States and many other countries only recognize bitcoin.
Other tokens have not been recognized. On the contrary, most altcoin is just hype.

I think personally because these two coins are equally needed and so now many people are holding altcoins and waiting for the price to rise because bitcoin and altcoin prices have decreased and with that decline, many people are investing in Bitcoin with the short term because soon price Bitcoin will come back

Bitcoin is still the number one cryptocurrency, you can ask people if they know about cryptocurrencies and they might tell you no but ask them if they know about bitcoin then they will tell you yes. Bitcoin is still the coin that is keeping the crypto market going for now, that makes it the most important coin in the market. Maybe in the future altcoins might become more important but for now, bitcoin still remains more important than altcoins.

[Joemzz31]

Yes, all alternative coins, bitcoins and other electronic coins in the cryptocurrency are important
because of this community man people they help to change their life and become successful.

[Taniya1901]

Well, all altcoins that are now certainly will not be as important as bitcoin. Maybe with time she said althin and will replace bitcoin, but I doubt it very much. While all very far to the BTC

In any ecosystem, be it in nature or business, there is always a competition. And most often than not, the best always rises to the top. And here in our crypto ecosystem, a competition do also exist. Between Bitcoin and Altcoin. We all very well known that bitcoin, being the first and most proven cryptocurrency already took the center stage in crypto market. Now that altcoins came into the picture, where does it really stands? What will be the selling point of altcoin that will eventually led the bitcoin enthusiasts to finally switch places?

The recent initiative of China is a vivid confirmation. But we see that the crypto-currency market is becoming more resistant to such shocks, and investments in these technologies will be very profitable for a long time. The main thing is to be able to correctly see and analyze the situation.

BTC is still (rightfully?) leading the market in terms of capitalization. This is not something that can not be changed: even though BTC is now rooted in minds of millions of people when you say "crypto" or "blockchain". How, when and what will beat Bitcoin? The platform would have to be so good that it could not be ignored in the first place. Secondly, it will have to prove it is a better store of value than BTC (which will be a long and exhausting journey). Thirdly, the market will have to wake up and move upwards as it is almost impossible to overtake BTC in stagnating conditions. I would choose some kind of global platform which will be like Facebook or Google for the Web of the third generation. Nothing less can turn the tables on the side of a particular altcoin.

Yes, altkoins are very important in the world of crypto currency. They are very diverse in their purpose and functionality. Therefore, some altcoins will rise to the level of bitcoin in the future, and no one can know what will happen next. Altkoins has a great future, because in practice they greatly simplify our life and make it much more comfortable.

[spngebob]

Not in my opinion, frankly I hope all altcoins will crash and everyone will turn to bitcoin where all started.
Do we really need couple thousand altcoins? I don't see it as competition, rather pump and dump schemes in order for someone to earn more bitcoins.

[Sanu Simon]

If bitcoin alone is available in the market this could have never gained such an importance as well it could have never grown high. When there is competence automatically each asset will try to grow above the other. This will let each asset progress as well it gets technology wise advanced over the other.

[raldix00]

Yes altcoin is important not just bitcoin but in whole crypto. Infact altcoin now is use some icp to nake good project in the upcoming future and altcoin use to hold and daily trading

[SokrieeE]

I think all coins based on the below concept :
 - Smart contract coins as eth , neo
 - Dapps light project as semux , lisk
Thanks

[echodike]

What makes a coin important is the purpose it was meant to serve, if you have a coin that has great working product which people are using then the importance of the coin will make it popular and more people will use it

[Gaggy185]

Altcoins are as important as Bitcoin and are an integral part of the cryptocurrency market. Although altcoins were born after Bitcoin a lot, today there are many new ICO projects on a daily basis and contribute to enriching the market, so in the future, altcoins will be able to pass Bitcoin about market cap.

Altcoin is important because this is the way that we can invest in cheap price and some projects from altcoin is a big help too to crypto world as we all know that technology now is growing.

[automail]

Altcoin's are important because they also affect the bitcoin's price. It is one of the reason why bitcoin is at the top. We all know that we can't convert altcoins to fiat directly and we need to convert it to bitcoin or eth first because it can be fiat. I think that is the reason why bitcoin is the number one coin. The demand will always be there because of the need to convert alts to fiat.

[rob143]

I think it will be very difficult, today Bitcoin is the number one in the market there is too much competition between all currencies and some of them are beginning to shine. Also these two currencies are very requested by people who invested and are waiting for them to go up in price.

The conversion you said isn't make it on top, the reason is that Bitcoin have a unique purpose for crypto. The entire market will be affected when there is trouble with bitcoin and altcoins will be the first to be affected. Altcoins is just the support for Bitcoin, they are so called alternative coins which gives other option for the investors and users what to choose.

In my opinion Bitcoin is the source and the rest is a very interesting evolution, I think technological developments in altcoins will lead to the future of digital fiat money that will be something like centralized digital currencies but will also lead to better decentralized cryptocurrencies. I also think it's too early to predict which altcoins will survive the test of time, so far Bitcoin seems to be the only one to be truly capable of that but there will be more of course and more than probably altcoins currently existing.

So yes, they are as important, it's from the same family as BTC, it's expanding the technology.

[bennybeezy]

Although the monetary value of Altcoins, currently and for the most part, rely on the value of Bitcoin, they are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Once more fiat to altcoin pairings start to get introduced, I think you'll see that reliance and correlation dwindle somewhat. And the reality is, while Bitcoin serves as a great store of value and is more widely accepted as a form of currency, so many altcoins are not even attemtping to compete in that space. If anything, Bitcoin can only be truly appreciated when it's in the midst of all these altcoins because, the truth is, we always need a point of comparison to recognize something's worth and value. Nothing operates in a vacuum, and this holds true in crypto as it does with anything else.

I think in the future, 90% of the tokens will fail. However, later real working ideas will come. it is possible that some sort of altcoyin will become more important than bitcoin.
