Name a major exchange which doesn't accept BTC.

New York Stock Exchange....

It was quite obvious in context to all the others I mean name a major exchange which accepts an alt-coin and DOESN'T accept Bitcoin.

The post I was responding to made it seem like there is this massive flow of investment, talent, development, merchant support, etc AWAY from Bitcoin and towards alt-coins. That obviously isn't true. While BTC aren't traded on the NYSE that isn't because for example BTC is dying and the NYSE went with NVC (or some other clonecoin of the week).

Your responses were ... well dumb. I updated the post to be even more explicit so you no longer need to apply any thinking.

This whole thread is for jokes and sarcasm Wink

My point was - for usual people value of bitcoin and value of other coins i exactly same.

In crypto world - yes bitcoin is leader, but with general population after few years - leader will be the one with best connections and biggest budget for marketing.

And with that in mind - is it really that impossible for other scrypt coin to overcome bitcoin? Let's think about your mentioned NVC .. that is russian coin ... now imagine all those crazy russian billionaires buying biggest castles in world and buying biggest yachts ... what if they get bored and suddenly want their own money and decide to put few billions in marketing for NVC just because it's russian? What would happen with bitcoin in that case? Bitcoin as completely decentralised currency doesn't have significant investment from anyone and so is easy target for everyone with money to overrule.

Don't get offended - just discussing that bitcoin has it's own flaws and it's base idea of decentralization is not definitely proof of success. Things can easily turn around at any given moment.
