All those FUDsters that where saying year ago how Bitcoin would fail because another currency would take over get proven wrong year after year. The more time Bticoin is alive, the stronger it gets and the bigger the network effect. Sorry but there will not be a Bitcoin 2.0. Bitcoin will go to 100k+ per coin in the next 5 to 10 years, it will absorb all the value researched in the field if not directly through protocol improvements then through sidechains.
Bitcoin will remain the only solid coin. The only coin that survived for the longest time (other coins can't claim this unless they invent a time machine).
There will be alts that pump really hard and make people millionaires, but no alt is going to surpass Bitcoin's strength and solidity. No coin will get a bigger marketcap. In the long term people holding 21+ BTC will be rewarded by history with rich-tier status for seeing the value in it before most people did. Do not let the FUDsters trick your mind or the trolls try to derrail the excellent job being done by Core devs.
Let's continue then our path towards inevitable triumph.
It's nice reading discussions like this one from the past years up to present. I can tell how Bitcoin evolves in the mind of holders. There were doubts before and when 2017 hits people are changing their thought about it. Fudsters/FUDers are always there, that feeling of missing out won't dissolve as long as there is Bitcoin. And at this times where Bitcoin is ranging from 19k back to 6k, holders are in a tight grip. And your words are also my thought in this year of 2018. Bitcoin will remain as the king of all the crypto. You can observe that once the price of BTC went down, all other cryptos or mostly are also down. They depend on their king's status. No one, so far, surpasses their king. So for now, and for the years ahead, Bitcoin has no competition.
