If you think Bitcoin will last long enough for mainstream adoption you are living in dreamland. At this moment in time there are already far superior competitors, only reason BTC is king, is because it was first.
In the early days remember MySpace, Ask Jeeves, AOL, ICQ... the list goes on and on.
This is why Bitcoin won't reach ATH again. People are clued in. Before a new technology was created to solve a problem, Bitcoin was created to please a few Libertarians across the world... The average schmuck HAPPILLY uses fiat.
>betamax also why do you think tesla coils werent adopted when its electricity transportation capacities is higher than wires?

BITCOIN #1 THE OTHERS ARE SCAM(ALT)

none of these companies tanked overnight, it was a series of bad decisions, design flaws and failure to keep up with improvements in technology that caused them to be cast aside. You should be constantly assessing the market, upcoming trends and your current investments
Imagine thinking crypto is anywhere near as revolutionary as any of those technologies
Jaxon Hill
None of those were advertised as get rich quick schemes
Josiah Hill
literal brainlet
Josiah Evans
Funny how the creator forgot to add stuff like google glasses or kinect.

>muh ledger is gonna change the world. We never had ledgers before.

Myspace was always junk.

we've never had smart contracts, combined with dlt, we've never had the infrastructure to handle the tech until now. I can smell your curryskin from here, be gone.
There's no doubt that we're just getting started. the question is which coins will be in the future. bitcoin won't be for future if it doesn't change A LOT. lightening network is not good enough, it has to change so much that it's better than new coin that are fresh and free to be built in which ever way is most compatible with our world right now. bitcoin cannot adapt fast enough.
In order for a coin today to be relevant in the future it needs to address the problems of scaling right now. everyone knows a flood is coming, the ones that will survive are the ones who prepare for the flood
Can confirm. Currently working for a big software company that is pushing blockchain hard. Smart contracts and IoT are literally bringing us to science fiction tier operation.

All in on link and iota
Juan Gray
100% correct, so take advantage of the waves of corecucks and normies crashing alts
Joshua Stewart
Yeah but it doesn't mean that btc or any alt coin will be adopted, making people rich. If they have to use coins they will make sure the blockchain is private. Only monero or the ASIC resistant monero-V will have actually use and adoption in the future.
Jayden Ramirez
they just work
Thomas Green
This. Bitcoin will be dead, forget about it. Ether though, I see upsides. It's only going to go up and overtake bitcoin once the bubble implosion ends.
Nolan Martinez
they are not ponzi scams

"They'll just make it private". We've heard this argument since the inception of BTC a decade ago. The simple answer is, you can't have the full benefits of blockchain tech without decentralization. The more decentralized the coin is the more powerful it is. Making it private defeats the whole purpose of blockchain tech.

coinmarketcap is measuring coins' value in lambos, what has the world come to?
The "technology" of a coin is far less relevant than you think. All coins, by design, are open source - and outside the scope of patents/intellectual property. Technology can always be copied.
What cannot be copied is the coin's distribution.
Bitcoin came before anyone believed 0's and 1's on its ledger would one day be worth thousands. As such, much of the wealth is held by early enthusiasts, people who contributed to the code, maintained the network, pushed the technology, and contributed to the ecosystem.
This distribution is far more fair, far more "natural" than some sham company releasing a coin through some ICO and maintaining 20% of all coins it prints. Nobody is going to buy into that distribution model as a new currency. Why not just take their code, remove the 20% founders fee and go from there?
Truth is, now that the cat's out of the bag, you can't reliably come up with a fair distribution scheme. Bitcoin, and bitcoin alone, is the most fairly distributed coin and the coin most people would be willing to accept as valuable outside of the space.
