There is a better alternative to Bitcoin and why not use it?

[semobo]

Bitcoin even doesn't have real use for now but it still hold its position not just because of convenient to use,investors trusting its potential level and complete decentralization but other coins may not be same as bitcoin.

[crwth]

The main reason I use Bitcoin more is that there’s more people using it and I doubt it’s going to be replaced by any other coin, much less DGB. I do not doubt the capabilities of other cryptocurrencies, but that's the truth; Bitcoin is still the best.

What exchanges are you talking about? The decentralized broker? I do think every cryptocurrency has potential growth and but not everyone accepts it though, unlike BTC.

Are you suggesting Holding it as well?

[iamaruf]

It’s hard to say why people don’t use alternative.I use ETH,LTC,XRP for payment.First i see the trx fee and trx confirmation time.Sometimes I use LTC,ETH and XRP to low trx fee and less confirmation time. I didn’t use digibyte but I use alternative crypto. Maybe most of the people use bitcoin because bitcoin is popular,most trusted and becoming trend.

What happens is that most of us do not even know the core use of bitcoin beyond using it as a means of payment, buying to hodl for the time of boom and a tool of making big return overnight. Less than 0.1% of people holding bitcoin do not know the core use of bitcoin.

[oktana]

Can't ignore many things from bitcoin, DGB is just less popular to me.

I have no doubts about the scaling ability of the DGB chain, even though the accessing system is still weak. I want to know Op's comment when this coin was delisted from Poloniex just because of silly reasons, Jared Tate seems to have difficulty in doing wider branding.

[LouVandetta]

I've been hearing about Digibyte here and there actually. Well, what I've been hearing nowadays was not because how good DigiByte is, but might be because the problem created by the Founder days ago, which is Jared Tate.

Well, if we're talking about other cryptocurrency other than bitcoin that has a faster transaction speeds or any other features, you'd find tons of them, to be honest. But they're still not on the same level as bitcoin. So you could use the alt you prefered, than making a fuss and making other coin/alts looks bad than the others even though that's not your intention.

More people will be using it eventually (In this case it's Digibyte) when it's proven how well it performed.

[Apened]

Everyone of us have it own opinion regarding any altcoins in the market and any alternative to bitcoin is good yes, however if we think how popular bitcoin is how safe it is and ehat kind of technology does it have all altcoins still be worthless. I habe high hopes before in other altcoins to overperform bitcoin but it doesn't happen because bitcoin is still the king of cryptocurrency.

DigiByte!

I'm not hyping this one. And I love Bitcoin (actually i have stacks of it). I am on the verge of looking something useful. Creating a FUD or Hyping does not help me grow my knowledge.

I newly discover crypto this year. As my 1 month of stay here in bitcointalk and crypto space and evaluated top 100 crypto who stayed for almost long enough in the hundreths and did an ample experience to them. (bought them and used them) I do see a lot of coins with potential and some other use cases but for currency it's undoubtedly Bitcoin. Now, I'm even confused. There is a bright future for DigiByte out there as a currency use and for people who had crypto that stayed long enough in the crypto space and bitcointalk, I only thought of them making a fortune in it (not really thinking about the future of blockchain tech). Digibyte has very secure and strong foundation in it's community. Scalability, fees and scarcity is no issue there. They also have a decentralized broker where you can make a transaction of an investment with direct profits into your wallet.

Now my question is; Any of you here really see what is good in DigiByte? I would love to hear any replies. This is an educational question for me as I have seen what is the real use case of a cryptocurrency and I found out in BTC and DGB as a leading candidates for Global use as a currency. I also want to hear the negative side of digibyte as a currency, maybe because I'm pre-occupied or clouded at the moment of this coin with great potential in my opinion.

I mean no harm of doing this. Since this is a Bitcoin forum talk.

No harm on us because Digibyte is actually a good coin to invest I used to invest a lot on it when they are just starting out and how I regret dumping it in 201, this coin has a good chance to recover, they have a very active developers andf community back then i just have no news anymore how good is the community now compared back then.

[nicolas1979]

I think alternative should be out side crypto market, if only another coin let me remain you all coin depend bitcoin movement. We can try built blog/ web, on line shop use bitcoin as alternative payment or freelancer with crypto payment. I'm sorry if my opinion look's bad but like I said alternative should out side the primary not inside.

[mrdeposit]

There are dozens of altcoins on the market that are better than bitcoin. But, look at bitcoin, it still looks like it has never tired of ruling the crypto world. Each stone in the market seated in its place, if you try to change their places, the market will completely be disintegrated. There is no need to talk so much, look at digibyte's and bitcoin's rank at the market.

[bitvalak]

To be honest I prefer NEM, XRP or LTC as an alternative to bitcoin. The reason is because of their positive development in terms of developing their projects and socializing more often about what they are planning for now and in the future. That makes me have a positive view of them, because we need clear information about that.

[fuer44]

People are creating topic like this every week. The simple truth why there are so many hype around bitcoin - it was first. A lot of people think that this is the only one true crypto currency. This is not about tech, this is about status

digibyte, or maybe new coins or other new tokens that have new ideas or innovations that look better than bitcoin, will be hype when the bitcoin market is just falling. later when the bitcoin market returns, the coins will disappear. The incident keeps repeating because new coins are difficult to be consistent.

[ganeshramk]

I know you wanted to highlight Digibyte. Even I am holding this coin in my portfolio. To be honest, nothing can beat Bitcoin. Even ETH or Ripple is struggling hard to even get near to Bitcoin marketcap.

[DaMut]

Jared tate is the founder of DGB not owner. "Security is crappy" so far in my 2 days of experience it is quite secured IMO.

the founder is almost the same as the owner in cryptocurrency because they decide the direction of the project development and the image of the project itself(a few days ago jared tate said something controversial to tron community, do you think it will not bring any negative impact to digibyte?). about security, he was referring to sybil attack. you can not experience it without someone attacking it.

[totoy4741]

I don't know about digibyte and I don't think that this is the best possible alternative for Bitcoins. There are lots of establsihed and promising coins in market right that could possibly be the next big thing but still no coin can dethrone the king, bitcoin will be bitcoin.

[xiboothrezi]

Basically, a lot of new coins appear and claim that the technology is better than Bitcoin, which actually makes it look like crap. If they want to show the quality does not have to drop rivals, just show the strengths and the market public will judge it. In fact, although many new coins have emerged, Bitcoin remains a priority, its position as "the first" and dominating cryptocurrency is almost difficult to replace. If you like bitcoin, then use it well, if not then leave and use another altcoin that suits you, let's use this good opportunity as best we can, don't be too fanatical. All coins or tokens must have advantages and disadvantages, the movements also vary. So our job is to find the best opportunity from that to get profits.

[Obito]

With all these coming, and existing why majority is still coming back to bitcoin? It is because not everything were perfect surely such alts have fulfilled bitcoin's shortcoming but sill they have as well shortcoming too. So it is just that alts are produced to fill a certain purpose while bitcoin handles it generally.

[ned.ryerson]

I don't know about digibyte and I don't think that this is the best possible alternative for Bitcoins. There are lots of establsihed and promising coins in market right that could possibly be the next big thing but still no coin can dethrone the king, bitcoin will be bitcoin.

whether any coin can become better than bitcoin, we will find out only after some years(5-10). now the market is too unstable and anything can happen with bitcoin as well as with altcoins.

[Genemind]

There are lots of different altcoins being compared to Bitcoin but nothing can beat Bitcoin. Btc has passed all the tests of time and it has been through a lot. It has reached a lot of achievements and it has built a strong foundation. If there will be another alternative, I will still choose it because it has gained the trust of most users.

[diazepam666]

it's completely wrong there is no any alternative for Bitcoin and none of the cryptocurrencies will match the effect what Bitcoin produces to this market and this world.
value of Bitcoin and volume is biggest chamber for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency can reach that level now.
Maybe if centralised market make some bugs and do some manipulation in the market means in future we can expect that value.
