Bitcoin the powerhouse of cryptocurrency

[Smartgoat]

INTRODUCTION... in the ever-evolving landscape of Blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, bitcoins stand tall as the pioneer that sparked a revolution. As the first Blockchain ever created. Bitcoin has not only given birth to countless other cryptocurrencies. but has also foundermentally changed the way we perceive and transact with money. in this view we delve into the world of Bitcoin exploring it's main feature, market value, dominance and it's profound importance in today world.

DISCOVERY.... for me, 2021:marked a pivotal moment of introduction for me into the world of Blockchain technology and it's served as a gateway for as , it was the first ever Blockchain and cryptocurrency I interacted with and first owned ever since then it's been an all profitable experience so far.I have interacted with so many other Blockchains and protocols, like Ethereum, cadano, polygon matic, Arbitrium etc. However aimid this diverse landscape one Blockchain stood out as the bedrock of innovation. Bitcoin was not just a digital currency, it was a groundbreaking technology that introduced the concept of decentralization.

MARKET VALUE AND DOMINANCE..... Bitcoin influence transcends it's technological innovation. As of the time of writing, Bitcoin boats the highest market capitalization among all cryptocurrencies, it's value is determined by factors such as scarcity, demand, institutional adoption,macroeconomics trends. Bitcoin market dominance, measures it's market share compared to other cryptocurrencies. Despite the proliferation of thousands of altcoins Bitcoin continue to maintain a significant portion of the total market.

THE GLOBAL SIGNIFICANCE.... Bitcoin importance extends beyond the real of cryptocurrency. it's decentralized nature offers an alternative to traditional individuals with greater control over there asset's and fostering financial inclusivity.

CONCLUSION......My view in the world of Blockchain technology stands as a testament to the power of innovation and decentralization. Bitcoin did not holds significant market value, but also serves as a symbol of a paradigm shift in the way we perceive and interact with money and technology. As we move forward, the influence of Bitcoin on global finance and beyond is understandable, shaping a future where decentralization and digital assets are integral components of our modern world.

Bitcoin has a great potential and it is beyond government control due to its decentralized nature. The best of all is that bitcoin can be used to overcome inflation because it serves as a store of value for investors and can be used beyond boarders without an intermediary. You have only discovered bitcoin 2021 and you haven't known much about bitcoin. Continue learning and you will enjoy to have known and invest in bitcoin. The financial freedom bitcoin brought to the world is what is making the government get scared of it because they know that it is a threat to their government since they will have limited power to control the citizens.

[Faisal2202]

Dear OP you didn't needed that much explanation to convey this message because you could also do this the easy way which is the dominance. You can see the dominance of BTC only is half of the overall crypto dominance and market cap of BTC is also more than all other ALTS. Then BTC do mean is the super man, Spiderman or any man or the king of ALTs. If BTC loss price then ALTs bleeds. BTC is everything for crypto future.

The financial freedom bitcoin brought to the world is what is making the government get scared of it because they know that it is a threat to their government since they will have limited power to control the citizens.

I would suggest to not use rude words like threat to governments because this is not a atomic bomb it's just an alternative way of finance which provide more features and fast and secure one to transact your assets from one place to an other without giving your personal information to some central authority or getting into lines to get permits etc. Or you don't have to pay huge fee etc.

Such things do impact the earnings of banks but not of governments directly but indirectly it does. This is the best way to explain things. That's why Governments are trying hard to provide such tokens that could have the factor of decentralization like ETFs but they could control them too. Dumb people will buy those (nothing personal just sharing views).

Regulators certainly seem to agree with your subject line. I’m a bit surprised to see regulation altering between Bitcoin and the rest of the cryptocurrencies. It’s as if Bitcoin is being given a pass while the others are being subjected to legal scrutiny.  Regardless of the reason, Bitcoin appears to be the King.

Well, for me, I think the reason why Bitcoin is being given a pass while other altcoins are labeled as securities by the regulators is simply because, regulators have discovered that they have absolutely no power over Bitcoin since they they don't know who the founder or creator is, and they have no access to the code which keeps bitcoin running, so there is clearly nothing they can do aside banning bitcoin which is a not a good plan, as banning bitcoin still wont stop people from using or investing in bitcoin.

But for the altcoins, they label altcoins as securities simply because they have some access to it, for example, even if an altcoin blockchain is decentralized, they still have access to that altcoin through the creator, whom they can easily go after if they want, i think this is why they seem to have abandoned bitcoin to face altcoins.

Maybe at times, I reason differently and I predict like a prophet, these regulators have ulterior motives deeper than what people are seeing now. People think it's a matter of appraising Bitcoin over other cryptocurrencies, but I see it as a means for them to first separate Bitcoin which is the most popular and the truly decentralized blockchain from others before they will now clamp down on it. It will be easier by then.

I hope you remember this in the future, it might be 5, 10, 15 years to come, it doesn't matter, what people don't know is that some plans are top secret and the way they will perpetrate it might be cunny and very slow. Bitcoin is the only crypto asset that can fight for cryptocurrency, others will not have any choice but to dance to the tune of the regulators later and it will be easy to fight Bitcoin alone by then. You can mark my word.

Bitcoin is more than just a cryptocurrency. It embodies a groundbreaking shift towards a decentralized financial landscape. An important fact to also note is that Bitcoin's scarcity is fundamental to its value proposition. It makes sure that it remains immune to arbitrary inflation.

Yes. it looks strange but true. and this is obvious. One thing is for sure, Bitcoin has a bright future and it is currently the most eye-catching, especially investors and financial institutions who have big collars because they have taken their time to look at the facts with an open mind and finally they are in awe of blockchain technology even though it is still there are also those who are skeptical Bitcoin is just a scam currency and that is normal due to lack of understanding.

Bitcoin is a game-changer in the global financial system. Bitcoin technology brought innovation that is striving to give individuals control over their money. Its decentralization feature has also helped individuals and corporations to avoid restrictions and despotic tendencies of some government agencies. At first, the currency was disregarded but now the government is doing everything to control the currency because it is becoming more influential every day. The move to undermine bitcoin is still on but it is becoming more difficult. We don't know what the future holds because every day the government is coming up with new policies and strategies to regulate the bitcoin system. But like you said bitcoin is here to stay.

the government is now seeing that no matter what they do, just like the banning of China, still the market continues. and so what they can do now is to regulate this market rather than totally banning the usage of it. this is the beauty of this technology. as there is no specific government that can manipulate or control, people have the power to hold their funds without the intervention of authorities.
and as we have seen, the adoption is increasing as more and more companies are joining this market.

Its simple to make assumptions about the future and take the initiative. Regulators are not enigmatic characters preparing to bring Bitcoin to an end. They are governmental organizations entrusted with ensuring economic stability and public security. Do you really think they have the time to carry out some elaborate, top-secret scheme against only one cryptocurrency?

Not to mention the might of the crypto community. The notion that only Bitcoin can fend off regulators is, to put it mildly, absurd. There are numerous cryptocurrencies with thriving communities, cutting-edge technology, and practical uses. Do you really believe they'll surrender and admit defeat?

[Franctoshi]

Indeed Bitcoin is the powerhouse of cryptocurrencies and has made itself superior and king among every other crypto out there because it has stood the test of time, despite all sorts of challenges it has faced, including being a scam coin or Ponzi scheme, and despite several bans it faced, yet it is scaling through and one of the reasons for its scalability is the fact that Bitcoin is truly decentralized and the most transparent cryptocurrency.

Yes, I totally agree with you, friend. For now no one will be able to ban bitcoin absolutely and significantly. Because the system that exists in bitcoin is indeed very well designed and difficult to stop. Even those who have authority, such as the government, cannot restrain and cannot completely ban the use of bitcoins. Maybe according to the rules and laws, in countries that prohibit bitcoin, it has been made and legalized. But still, bitcoin users are still annoying and cannot be stopped by these rules. Because basically, owning or investing in bitcoin is not too detrimental to the government, so bitcoin investors in countries that have a ban on bitcoin, continue to continue trading and investing. So at this point the governments in countries that reject bitcoin, will definitely be confused to find loopholes so they can stop the adoption of bitcoin which is growing day by day. That's why the act of controlling the market has become a new way for them, to at least put a brake on the continued adoption of bitcoin.

And in conclusion, if bitcoin continues to survive, surely other cryptos will continue to exist and survive. But if bitcoin loses and disappears, surely the other cryptos will also fade and disappear. Because even though bitcoin and crypto(altcoin) have different systems, for example bitcoin is decentralized and crypto(altcoin) is not. But still, bitcoin is the heart of cryptocurrencies or the parent of cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin and altcoins have different designs by their protocols and technical designs that help Bitcoin to be totally different than altcoins and regulations on Bitcoin and altcoins would be very different too.

Since 2009 and years later with abundant altcoins have ever been created, Bitcoin appears to be the King and irreplaceable.

But for the altcoins, they label altcoins as securities simply because they have some access to it, for example, even if an altcoin blockchain is decentralized, they still have access to that altcoin through the creator, whom they can easily go after if they want, i think this is why they seem to have abandoned bitcoin to face altcoins.

It seems they use a criterion, decentralized or centralized, for Bitcoin and altcoins to apply their regulations against those cryptocurrencies.

Altcoins are centralized and are very first sensitive, most vulnerable cryptocurrencies to be regulated by governments as they know their regulations on altcoins will have bigger chance to succeed than on Bitcoin.

I wanted to ignore your post initially because it seems we are not on the same planet and it's certain that what I say might be difficult for you to understand. Many like you live only in the present while a few people live both in the present and future. It shocked you right? It's a mystery and don't let us go there because you will never understand even if I explain from now till tomorrow.

Let me go straight to the two points that called for my attention, and they are; the top-secret and crypto community is powerful to defend itself.

Top-secret - It's not in the defence and national security alone. Also, as it's in politics where we only see the surface but the true reason for some actions will always be hidden while they pursue their agenda bit by bit, so is present in governance and regulations as well whether you agree or not.

The crypto community is powerful to defend itself - As much as I want Bitcoin to remain forever, don't think many governments want that, the true decentralization of Bitcoin should tell you a lot of why they are not happy about it which also applies to many countries that still allow it. Now, if they are successful in separating it from other cryptocurrencies, which crypto community will defend it? It will by then be the Bitcoin community defending itself. It would have been thinner by then which is what the regulator want. Always remember that what government could appreciate in cryptocurrency is blockchain technology and not decentralization. As you know, many cryptos are no more decentralized even if they preach such to you, that's regulation working underneath, it's those cryptos they would prefer then, and if they are successful in splitting Bitcoin from crypto, I see more issues coming, it will be easier for them to perpetrate their evil.

Mind you, the government's power can't be compared to the Bitcoin community as you wrongly believe, it's more. If top nations agree and start clamping down today, it will be almost total. Imagine no domain hosting anything BTC, no exchange could associate with it, and OS bringing down any app related to it. What do you think would happen?

My conclusion remains that, if possible, it's better to stop the government now or not support them from separating Bitcoin from other cryptos for any reason. People think the regulator is doing Bitcoin good, but in the end, they will realise that the government is for no good intentions.

Thats the truth. Rather than mentioning it as the power house we can state it to be the backbone to the entire cryptocurrencies. If the bitcoin wasn't able to stand strong none of the cryptocurrency stands in the upright position.

The usage of BlockChain technology is quite effective and even the countries that had banned cryptocurrencies were in much favour on blockchain technology usage. Some way the technology is making big change around the world.

Altcoins kept separately will give good profit based on the asset. We don't know how many games were there to be prized. When something had gained popularity, then we shouldn't fall for it.

It's very important to realize that bitcoin could change your life for the good and that's an important thing. A lot of people end up not realizing how important it is and they act as if this is something normal. We are talking about something that has the potential to change your entire life and if you are not careful then you are going to end up missing a lot of chances without a doubt.

This is one chance you guys could end up with something that would be a bit more risky and with this going on, I think we should be not avoiding this chance. Finance world will not recover, it may look like it will get better, but then it will have another crash some time in the future. If you are in bitcoin, that won't matter to you.

[Wakate]

Bitcoin had been the power of cryptocurrency for so long before now and that is why it has huge influence in the crypto market. If everyone keep investing in Bitcoin rather than altcoins, we will be surprised the way the price of Bitcoin will skyrocket suddenly with huge momentum. Now that we are in the bear, it also affected other cryptocurrencies in the market making them to be in near too with the hope that when the price of Bitcoin goes up, they will likewise go up too following the bull trend that Bitcoin will create in the market.

I remember those days when you talk about Bitcoin, the first thing that people will think was it's a scam. Those days are gone but the people that are still the same thing are still there.

I guess it won't change quickly over time but time will make the differences when people have already realized that Bitcoin is a real thing and they can no longer ignore it.

While there have been new technologies that came out and thought that it will be able to dethrone Bitcoin, they didn't find any success.

As of the time of writing, Bitcoin boats the highest market capitalization among all cryptocurrencies,

It is worth knowing that when it comes to cryptocurrencies as a whole, market capitalization is kind of a meaningless number because of the way it is being calculated which is supply*price.
You see unlike stocks where the "supply" is the actual number of shares that are owned by actual stockholders, in cryptocurrencies the "supply" doesn't have to be real or in circulation. It is any supply like the premined coins that never enter circulation or any coin that the centralized authority of a centralized altcoin can print out of thin air at any moment if they wish to without releasing them to the public.

So when we talk about market cap, it makes sense for bitcoin because the bitcoin supply is all real and was entered into circulation as the reward for the work that was done by miners. However when you are talking about it in a comparing scenario and you get altcoins involved things start falling apart. For example the altcoin with the biggest market cap has 72 million premine and at this point it is being printed out of thin air artificially inflating its market cap.

Bitcoin market dominance, measures it's market share compared to other cryptocurrencies.

With the above explanation you can understand how what you are referring to as "dominance" is a falsehood and is actually market cap ratio or a battle of supplies.
