The next Bitcoin? I think I've heard that word for as long as I can remember. All new coins always say that they are the next Bitcoin but failed after they launch the project.
Exactly, whenever I come across that phrase, I see it as the project looking to get more popularity by affiliating itself with bitcoin, and that attempt is enough to make me lose real interest. We are not looking for the next Bitcoin, but rather the next innovative technology which would improve transactions while retaining anonymity and keeping control in the hands of the holders.
