Currently bitcoin has the edge already in terms of attention which many think it’s because of bitcoin been the first decentralized currency but I say it’s not just that, we have seen innovations been the first of their kinds dying off and losing relevance to a later one because of the qualities they possess and that’s the difference with bitcoin it’s quality doesn’t seems like a thing that will dispose easily like that, it has its limitations like the scalability issue but when you look at it any innovation coming to correct it usually ends up tampering with the decentralized system and that’s the only way an Altcoins can actually surpass bitcoin, but the scalability issue isn’t as dare to the investors like the decentralized network they will have

I think in this case it is even impossible and will never happen when altcoins beat bitcoin and I think in this case we have to agree in that considering it will never happen when bitcoin loses to altcoins.

We know that until now bitcoin remains the king even though there are altcoins no matter how good they are, they will not be able to beat bitcoin so why force yourself with altcoins let alone try to juxtapose in competition with bitcoin because it becomes a silly thing.
Let alone defeating, even trying to balance the level with bitcoin is impossible so that in this case no one will ever be able to beat bitcoin because indeed the king will still be above and altcoins will remain below and follow the movements of bitcoin.

Altcoins will always remain as altcoins and Bitcoin is the only coin that's known as Bitcoin. I don't think that any alt coin would ever be able to overcome the importance of Bitcoin even if they have 100x more features then Bitcoin.

Bitcoin has is the king of crypto market and it will always remain as the king of the market. I believe there's chance that some altcoin may get huge in marketcap but still they won't be able to cross Bitcoin's marketcap any time soon or they might not be able to do that forever.

I disagree. There are actually 2 ways that an alternate cryptocurrency could surpass Bitcoin!

1. The fake way
When cryptocurrencies are sorted based on their market capitalization, it is trivial to surpass Bitcoin. Shitcoins such as Ripple, Ethereum, Tether, etc are the living proof that a shitcoin can have a massive fake market cap. All it takes is a huge supply that only releases a small portion of it to the public to be in circulation followed by a strong pumping team with a lot of money to inflate the price of that shitcoin. Then you have yourself an altcoin that ranks #1 in the list sorted by market cap. That altcoin will have no utility though!

2. The real way
Bitcoin is in no way perfect! It has "shortcomings". If some developers get off their fannies and start innovating, there is a good chance that we see newer and better technologies emerge in the next decade and the cryptocurrency created that way would very easily surpass Bitcoin in a real way which is through actual adoption by providing a useful utility like Bitcoin while not having the same shortcomings as Bitcoin.

The reason why we haven't seen that so far is because everyone is interested in making money so they create shitcoins like ethereum with tens of millions of premined coins so that they can become rich overnight.
In comparison Satoshi's goal was to innovate and solve problems. The altcoin devs' goal is to make money not innovate.

I have said this countless times. If you look at the top coins on CMC, you'll see coins like Shiba inu in the top 10. This is a coin whose price is not even up to $0.0005 but because it has a circulating supply of trillions of coins, it is above coins like Monero. I always tell people not to fall for that. It's obvious a coin like that will never become anything because when you have that kind of supply, the supply will always be more than the demand, making the coin have very little value if it has any value at all.


As long as a coin is centralised and has an unlimited supply, it will stand no chance against Bitcoin. Even if the coin was decentralised and had a limited supply as long as it is owned by somebody or a company, it stands no chance against Bitcoin.
Coins like Cardano that have a limited supply have so many coins in circulation that the supply is way more than the demand. They have 45 billion coins as a limited supply. With that much coin in such short period there's no way the supply will not exceed the demand especially since it offers nothing different from other altcoins.

Maybe because it's not ETH goal, eh? 
Gold and oil have completely different use cases, they don't compete in one category.

Creating a coin with a small and limited supply is not difficult, if altcoins want to, they can easily do it. Furthermore, a coin owned by an individual or an organization can never be called decentralized.

It can be said that the only difference between bitcoin and the rest of the market is its decentralized nature, which makes it unique. I agree with what pooya87 said and I have said this several times already. Satoshi's purpose in creating bitcoin was not to make it an investment, but to create a peer-to-peer currency with a clear use case. Meanwhile, altcoin is just a speculative market, a space created to scam each other to make money...when it comes to altcoin, it's all about money. So as long as the mindset of altcoin developers doesn't change, all of them will not be able to surpass bitcoin.

If someone talks about that to me, I will not argue and will only say maybe that can happen. But in the deep heart, I will say that I don't believe that altcoin can beat Bitcoin. Bitcoin is at the top coins among altcoin and if one altcoin replace Bitcoin position, I can not imagine what will happen to crypto.

They should see what happen if Bitcoin is down. Many altcoins will gets the impact and will reset the market like what we already saw before. So Bitcoin will remain the king so far.

Of course, this has become a big topic of discussion this week. Every time Bitcoin drops, no one makes a profit and vice versa. The impact of the Bitcoin Trend began at the end of October where the price of Bitcoin continued to rise. This situation is expected by traders and investors to set more appropriate and profitable steps.
I also don't deny that altcoins will be on par with Bitcoin because nothing is impossible here but we have to wait for a long-term process.
