In the short or medium term I find it virtually impossible for this change to occur. And I have serious doubts if this can happen in the long run. Bitcoin will have a long reign ahead.

I think whale's are the reasoning person behind Bitcoin or the market pricing now. They can do manipulating for they have power to do so for they hold huge bitcoin. I hope they will make the market turn to green again to give hope the hopeless for profit.

I believe there are some altcoins that are technically better than bitcoin, but the problem is they do not have a large infrastructure that takes years to build it. They do not have thousands if not millions of people invest, in addition to many businesses, programmers, etc. And the only real way to build infrastructure is to be the most popular coin, at least in the current situation. Then as cryptos (hopefully) get more accepted we will see some coins competing against each other and become worthy of the currency, but now Bitcoin will remain Number 1 for the future because of the infrastructure it has.

I doubt it. I believe there are a number of alt coins that are technically better than bitcoin, but the thing is they don't have this massive infrastructure that took years to build. They don't have thousands if not millions of people invested, in addition to many businesses, programmers, etc. And the only real way to build infrastructure is to be the most popular coin, at least in the current situation. Later on as cryptos (hopefully) get more accepted we will see multiple coins contending with each other and being viable as a currency, but right now Bitcoin will remain #1 for the foreseeable future because of the infrastructure it has.

All kind of markets are manipulated and it is normally. Just imagine that you have very much money and you decide to buy bitcoins I mean if you buy quite big amount you change current price sufficiently and in this case you are a person who manipulates a market.

The chances are close to 0 imo, but you never know what will happen. Almost everyone knows about Bitcoin now or at least has heard the word "Bitcoin"

for me. I don’t think something greater than BTC will come sooner. Everything that we’re looking for in an alternative currency can be found in bitcoin. everything that we’re looking for in an alternative currency can be found in bitcoin. Now that most of online casinos and other business owners are starting to accept it, I don’t think they will accept new one soon, if ever there will be.

I agree. I don’t think something greater than BTC will come sooner. Everything that we’re looking for in an alternative currency can be found in bitcoin. Now that most of online casinos and other business owners are starting to accept it, I don’t think they will accept new one soon, if ever there will be.

Let's remember though that bitcoin is a payment system, and right now of any market it effectively has a "0%" market share.  Visa and Mastercard do more in 5 minutes than bitcoin does in a year.  So yeah, there is still a lot of time and room for another coin to be established in the future, challenge, and then smash bitcoin.

Many people think that bitcoin is unbeatable because it is soooo "big".  Let's remember though that bitcoin is a payment system, and right now of any market it effectively has a "0%" market share.  Visa and Mastercard do more in 5 minutes than bitcoin does in a year.  So yeah, there is still a lot of time and room for another coin to be established in the future, challenge, and then smash bitcoin.  It has a big start, but if a truly revolutionary alternative comes around that is faster, safer, more efficient and has more versatility, well...... Has any coin done that yet?  Not even close, most are just cheap clones of bitcoin saying they are doing the above, but not really doing it.

I can not imagine the 'whale' does not have anything better than manipulating the market. There may be coordinated pumps or dumps (which can be achieved with relatively small amounts of money in this market), but not every price movement is caused by whales.

it can be replaced with ETH or bitcoin cash. I know bitcoin is the number one currency and mother of all alt coins but we should not forget second and third coins which are Eth and bitcoin cash. Both currencies have the huge stamina and they're increasing more than bitcoin since BTC is losing its price I don't have any idea why it dumping but if you look at eth and bitcoin cash they're going up if the things happen of 1 year I can bitcoin not only replace but it can vanish.
