Or become a respectable fraction of the value of Bitcoin; forget becoming equal or surpass its value.

Its been six years, maybe 2000 odd me-toos. Is it time to give up? There is usually a time to stop trying on a new business ideas (or clone).

The simple thought I have is we really can't have an altcoin close to the value of bitcoin, why do we (as a community) continue to waste our time (and money/resources) with more and more new altcoins.

Please share your valuable thoughts.

Thanks

The only way an alt would ever surpass bitcoin would be if it offered something very unique that bitcoin doesn't and the benefits are obvious. This hasn't happened yet but it could. Only time will tell but I think bitcoin is safe for a while but for a new coin to surpass it I think someone will have to come up with something nobody has even thought of yet. Something revolutionary.

Or simply have the backing of say... a multi-billion dollar company. That doesnt mean Bitcoin will die, it just won't go mainstream like people hope it will.
