Hypothetically, yes, the users will decide, but being that it created the space and has the oldest, most secure blockchain means that it's most entrenched with it's branding and how the space functions. Ultimately I don't think that goes on forever, but it's going to take getting a majority of the populace using cryptos and thus taking the time to learn and understand them before we see that move away from Bitcoin.
Right now, we're lucky if people have even heard of Bitcoin let alone any kind of alt. It just isn't in the mainstream consious yet. For those of us that do know and have exposure to cryptos we can see all the reasons other coins are more valuable but we still know Bitcoin is where it's at because it's the flagship and entry point for anyone looking at the space.
I hold a stash of Bitcoin for now because I still think it has a long way to run still before the turning point, and it's likely it will resolve all of it's current issues before a tipping point anyway, but I also have my stash of alts too because there are some damn good opportunities out there to grab onto that may change your life in the next 5-10 years.
Dont get me wrong, i believe in bitcoin maybe forever, but i see it ultimately turning into something more of a store of value than anything else. Because these other coins were designed for their specific functionality in the space they operate, whereas bitcoin isn't all that versitile outside of a currency, as far as i know atleast.
I just see bigger gains coming for some of these alts then i see for bitcoin, and thats why i haven't bought bitcoin yet.
Yeah, it's a fun time to speculate that's for sure. What are some of your favorite alts?
Well ive been all over the place, buying the dips and selling the peaks but my favorite cryptos ive been really stocking up on with these low prices are omg, lisk, tenx and nav coin.. i really like litecoin too, that was my first buy and ive always held on to some :)
Yeah, it's funny, I like Litecoin as well but haven't grabbed any yet because I always feel like it'll be sitting there at the same price whenever I get around to it. I have some omg but none of the others, heard of lisk and tenx but not nav coin. I'll have to check it out.
Yeah, litecoin is definitely a love hate relationship! Lol.. i love lisks whitepaper, i feel like they have a very broad platform for people to add on applications.. unlike etherium it can be written in java or any of the c+ languages if im not mistaken, so it should have a lot more programmers eventually.. i feel like its a solid sleeper.. as far as tenx goes, they could be massive, especially if they join with omg which has been talked about.. and nav coin i picked up long time ago and it hit huge, so now im sitting on it, waiting cuz security coins seem to be the next hot thing.. idk, i like coins because of their functionality, not so much because of the hype.. hence the relationship with litecoin.. lol..
