Can Bitcoin hold the leadership position for ever because the world changes?

[Btcalysis]

The title question has run through my mind a million times, in the end, the repeated answer is Yes!

Here are why:

1. As pioneer: Bitcoin is a new innovation than any other, the very first blockchain structure wired to function nicely in payment and finance. Such an authentic innovation doesn't die, but stays forever as long as the world remains.
2. Hacking: Bitcoin cannot be hacked.
3. Fairness: The blockchain mechanism ensures fairness among parties, no discouragement.
4. Decentralization: You can own your Bitcoin and have the true possession.
5. Value: Bitcoin is an asset. It has so much value to the point that you can buy it and forget for years to meet huge success goal. This hedges against inflation and increase financial freedom.
6. Intention: Unlike many projects, the intention of the creator was pure, selfless, neutral and genuine. Such system often attracts adopters naturally and give everyone the freedom they deserve.

Totally agree with your points! Bitcoin’s foundation—being decentralized, secure, and purpose-driven—gives it a kind of resilience you don’t often see in other assets or tech. It’s not just code, it’s a movement. The longer you stay in the space, the more you realize how powerful and lasting its impact really is.

[Nwada001]

The question is very much arguable; many will present their facts and reasons for why they chose the answer they chose. Currently there is no asset that has proven to be competitive with Bitcoin, so we can say that Bitcoin will sit on that throne for a long period of time.

But we are in the era of change, where new impressive innovations are welcomed and accepted. If in the near future there is ever going to be a new asset that will fill in the gap that many consider to be very important, then there will be a shift in choice, but that's not going to happen anytime soon, not even in the next few decades, but in the near future we should be ready to accept change.

 you need to understand that Bitcoin isn’t  “crypto” , it only looks like crypto on the surface. That’s why no other crypto can really threaten Bitcoin. Will a new, better form of money appear one day? Probably, because the evolution of money never stops , it’s only a matter of time. Gold was money for about 5,000 years until it was replaced by banks and fiat currencies. Bitcoin has only just begun, its role is to replace banks and fiat money. It will likely serve people as money for thousands of years, until something even better is invented. Right now, Bitcoin is the strongest and most reliable form of money humanity has ever had

Bitcoin is crypto but the difference is that blockchain exists because of bitcoin, the blockchain that is used by other coins and other areas today. This makes bitcoin more popular because other cryptocurrencies are copying it and not unique like bitcoin. The founder is not known, nobody know if Satoshi is a group, a man or woman, a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist etc. It has all the characters that can make it prosper.

2. Hacking: Bitcoin cannot be hacked.

It hasn't been hacked. Not it Cannot be hacked. It's theoretically possible. But the cost outweighs the benefit.

This hedges against inflation and increase financial freedom.

This is because of it's scarcity not it's value directly.

The question is very much arguable; many will present their facts and reasons for why they chose the answer they chose. Currently there is no asset that has proven to be competitive with Bitcoin

But we are in the era of change, where new impressive innovations are welcomed and accepted.

Bitcoin isn't the best in everything. But it remains the closest thing to decentralization.
As long as it continuously stays true to its protocol
I don't see anything beating it as number even in the future
Why? Because it's the face and many consider it the pioneer of cryptocurrency
If it fails it would mean cryptocurrency is a failure.
Not to mention it's mining is spanning for a century not something people would easily loss excitement about.

My personal view.

All these are part of what will always make the people appreciate and value bitcoin for life, when it was being said that bitcoin had come to stay, it wasn't a joke and many of us probably by now would have been more convinced in believing more on this, because, truly, Bitcoin has come to stay and will always be, once it was being recognized, adopted and it got to this stage, nothing can hinder it globalization once the network never ceased to obey it's protocols in which was the background framework of the network on blockchain, no asset or digital currency will be able to withstand or overthrown the relevance and acceptability of bitcoin.

If bitcoin blockchain is attacked and become successful, people will know that, the price of bitcoin will fall abruptly which will reduce the money the attackers will gain provided if is a success attack. ASIC are expensive and has no other good function than mining bitcoin which could be a problem for the hackers because the ASIC price will go down significantly and can become useless. Miners will prefer to remain loyal instead.

[EluguHcman]

I disagree with your points.
Let me respond based on the title.

If in the crypto markey, YES Bitcoin will keep to dominate every other crypto currencies because it is reliable and less volatile to instability downtrends because it has attained a market cap which has it positioned as asset store of values.
That is very far from every other coins which volatility are more respondence to downtrends instead of uptrends like that of Bitcoin breaking ATHs and maximizing the holders values.

If we also talked about the everlasting of Bitcoin, that still says YES because of it potential efficient scalability that has made it a global reserve of values. So, there is absolutely no going back on evaluation Bitcoin whether to stay/exist or maintaining the kingship in the crypto industry.

Who would be able to attack it in such a way?

[CryptSafe]

OP, I really do not think about such a thing happening any time soon because bitcoin is yet to gain a 100% adoption globally, and the government is currently fighting to see how they could regulate and control bitcoin within the law, not to mention a technology coming anytime soon to take over bitcoin as the head or leader to say.

If there is any new technology to be discovered in the crypto space to take over Bitcoin's position, then it should be able to present something much better than Bitcoin to assume that position as the head; otherwise, anything below the least expected of it amounts to nothing significant in the crypto industry, and as such would be irrelevant to existence.

For now we don’t know who will but one thing we know is that the computational power needed to pull that off is definitely not a small one and that the amount needed wouldn’t as for the moment be profitable. But it is theoretically possible to pull that off. You read about 51% attack to get a glimpse of that.

Bitcoin might not be the best in everything but the overall scorecard I don’t see anything better than bitcoin or coming to surpass it for now. Bitcoin is decentralized, limited in supply and many more. Yes many will argue that the scalability is an issue but looking at every coin that have actually stressed to be more scalable have actually been facing decentralized problems and there limitless is also a turn away for others

Even while it is a matter of it may happen or it may not happen which is probability I agree with that there is nothing absolutely wrong in thinking in such directions and at the same time and of course have an open mind to accept changes which we all know is a constant factor while in the main time our focus should be more on how best to utilize what we have now and have proven to be best without struggling or overthinking about the future of such, if am not mistaken I think we have seen similar threads in this forum, our attention should be given to Bitcoin for now because it is still the kind on that thrown that we know for now.

No one have such computational power. Maybe a country may try so hard to do it, but it is not worth it at all just as I explained above. Also people can think that mining pools can decide to do it but which will destroy their business and they will lose at the end. So in reality, I do not think anyone can do it.

[abaeze]

No, nothing in the world is permanent and all the rules and regulations created for the development of mankind are subject to change, expansion and sometimes extinction. Bitcoin is a new wonder in the current modern economy and this Bitcoin can give people true economic freedom as long as people use it. In that case, if we consider the beginning of the Bitcoin century from 2009, then Bitcoin will rule the digital economy for the next 50 years and will act as a major tool for economic freedom. People are still seeing it only as an investment asset, but the real reign will begin when people in every country use it as a currency. And I think when the price of Bitcoin reaches one million, Bitcoin will be at the top of the world leadership.

[Mrbluntzy]

The leadership positions you are talking about, is it about Bitcoin being ahead of every other cryptocurrencies? If that's what the question is all about, then yes, I believe that Bitcoin will continually be the leader of every other crypto and there's no change that can affect it. Bitcoin offers flexibility, security of asset, assures long term investors profit and it's also a decentralized coin that no body can pump and dump anyhow like altcoins  that why I believe it will remain a top coin above other coins.

6. Intention: Unlike many projects, the intention of the creator was pure, selfless, neutral and genuine. Such system often attracts adopters naturally and give everyone the freedom they deserve.

This feature of Bitcoin stands out. Most altcoins were created to enrich developers. But Satoshi's intention was to create a currency that gives individuals control over their finances.

Bitcoin might not be the best in everything but the overall scorecard I don’t see anything better than bitcoin or coming to surpass it for now. Bitcoin is decentralized, limited in supply and many more. Yes many will argue that the scalability is an issue but looking at every coin that have actually stressed to be more scalable have actually been facing decentralized problems and there limitless is also a turn away for others

Others have also argued that Bitcoin transaction fees are higher than some altcoins. Transaction fees usually skyrocket when there is an attack on the mempool.

[Asiska02]

If in the near future there is ever going to be a new asset that will fill in the gap that many consider to be very important, then there will be a shift in choice, but that's not going to happen anytime soon, not even in the next few decades, but in the near future we should be ready to accept change.

Bitcoin was not in existence about two decades ago, it was the technology present then that happen to be the best one and we all accepted it and was okay with it. Fast forward to when bitcoin was invented, even when it was still a new project, few believed and many didn’t accepted it to come this far. This is basically how the world revolves.

In the future, there is no doubt we may see a new technology that may stand competitive with Bitcoin, we don’t know how soon that will happen but as long as the world keeps evolving, changes are certain to happen. The old innovations will fade and the new ones will be adopted as long as it creates solution to the needs of the people just like Bitcoin is doing now.

It may not stand as a competition now and also been the best choice now to vast majority of people, but we can’t dispute the fact that there won’t be another that could be better than it and solve more human pending issues than bitcoin does now.

[X-ray]

Other project doesn't even come close. The bitcoin maxi and institutional players are putting their money into bitcoin because its decentralized nature that secure their funds.

It's vastly different compared to other coins that are much much more centralized. Bitcoin is timeless and will always become the leader in crypto for the simple fact like the one you mentioned, the intention of the creator is pure and genuine.

[reagansimms]

Bitcoin has dominated the market and has strong fundamentals compared to other coins, which is why Bitcoin has always been the standard for other Altcoins. Thousands of other coins have emerged inspired by Bitcoin, but its popularity has yet to be matched because Bitcoin has gained widespread recognition and adoption worldwide, making it more stable and reliable.

I don't see Bitcoin's position being threatened or potentially losing its position because no other coin has been able to achieve the innovation and development to increase its value, adoption, security and widespread recognition worldwide to increase its trust and stability. So far, only Bitcoin has been able to meet the needs and expectations of investors. Even if there are other coins that are able to reach a higher price than Bitcoin, it does not mean that they can shift Bitcoin position because Bitcoin's capitalization is far superior to other coins.
