Can any ALTCOIN ever overtake Bitcoin ?

[Bimaab]

The answar will be "Never"! but the altcoin that are potential enough to touch or just in some steps before ... is the Etherium because is based in a good project and he start to be famous.

Crypto currency is a complex speculative instrument and involves significant risks - they are extremely volatile and sensitive to the influence of side effects.

This for sure won't be happening in the next couple of years. At the moment btc is the only cryptocurrency you find present in every crypto platform and the only gate way most time to fiat. Most people only know btc its dominance drives the market

I think that altcoyin can not become equal to bitcoin. This is very doubtful, and I do not think that there are any prerequisites for this.

[odessit1377]

Already many times different tokens predicted that they would be the killer Bitcoin, but this did not happen, it is possible somewhere in another galaxy or in the parallel universe, and it is possible, but not with us. Bitcoin forever.

It depends on what you mean by overtake, check the coinmarketcap and you will see that there are certain altcoins already higher than bitcoin in price, However, for the number of the coins already listed on usually have higher supply which will make it difficult to equal btc in price, as it stands the only coins that have the higher chance are those will less than 8M circulating price and this is not happening any soon, BTC is still the king

Change is one thing we can not predict it could take us by surprise that any other altcoin can take over bitcoin but at same time it could only overtake for a period of time and bitcoin could bounce back and also overtake but watch and see what will be the fate of bitcoin and altcoin

Yes, and where is you answer to the question? Or do you think that your post is helpful? This everybody knows. And maybe that is why many traders trade crypto due to its high volatility - quick profit or quick loss.

Well this is crypto and anything can happen at any time but from my own point of view, I don't see any altcoin competing with bitcoin right now and the possibility of this even happening in the future is very slim. The degree of bitcoin dominance is evrn more than half of the market.

[InGODweTrast3]

I think we will see many more ups of the Altkoins, the volatility of which will reach the stunning heights!)

[ekowkow]

I don't think there is an altcoin that will be able to compete with bitcoin prices in the near future, because I think bitcoin is the main axis of the cryptocurrency price movement in the world, so all altoin prices are also affected by the price of bitcoin.

[Aleksey1958]

I don't think that's possible... Bitcoin is now the undisputed leader... He this year in drawdown and all altcoins sank much stronger.. bitcoin will go up and all altcoins up. Bitcoin dictates the behavior of the entire market...

[Mawa1127]

I don't think so. BTC is the boss of all crypto. You cannot think of Blockchain or choto without BTC. So i think it is impossible for any other coin to overtake BTC.

[Nanagyasi]

I think what we mostly forget to appreciate is the fact that no one can accurately predict the future. Just like when btc started and many thought it would die off, so may an altcoin take us all by surprise. However, I don't think it may happen anytime soon because btc seems to control the price of all altcoin.

[abstractednerve]

A lot of altcoin is created, and there is a mission of replacing bitcoin. But all of them are now gone because they realize that no altcoin can replace bitcoin. Many people think that in the future ETH can replace bitcoin but I feel it will never happen, whether short term or long term.

[heritage35]

Some are envisaging that there are some coins that have the tendency and prospects to reach and overtake the value of bitcoin, but for now, none of the coins is showing that sign of getting close to achieving such fit. Bitcoin has been the leading coin since inception of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. As a matter of fact, no matter how bitcoin falls, it is still the most widely demanded and used coin among others, which will make it difficult for any altcoin to overtake it.

[AjithBtc]

Altcoins were into existence just because of bitcoin. In this regard bitcoin getting overtaken by any of the altcoin isn't possible long term or short term. Altcoins have the dependence on bitcoin, so a mutual growth is possible, but an overcoming is simply hard to achieve by any of the altcoin.

[James678]

why not? Any altcoin has a potential, for example ethereum is close to overtake Bitcoin.
 I don't use btc, because etherem is far better and cheap in terms of transaction fee.

[romaleshc]

At this point, looking at the rates of the cryptocurrency market can confirm that no crypto can pass BTC at least for the next 3 years. Therefore BTC will still dominate the cryptocurrency market with the highest exchange rate. BTC's only rival in the current market can only be ETH.

[Symproverse]

No altcoins can ever replace or takeover ethereum, let alone bitcoin. BTC and ETH has made their place in the crypto world as the leaders. It’s better for those newbie projects and many other ICOs to accept the fact that bitcoin and ethereum are many miles ahead of them. Even if they surpass btc or eth it won’t be anytime soon and would take years.
