Hi,
So Bitcoin has issues like speed of transactions and energy consumption.
As there is no 'team' behind bitcoin, how is it going to develop and make sure it is always competing with newer coins?
There are alot of coins resolving these issues and people are buying into them, but why if bitcoin is considered No. 1 ? Is there a possiblity the new coins could be linked with bitcoin or that future bitcoin 'integrates with them and their technology which therfore increases their prices?
Bitcoin cannot be integrated to other altcoins. They are using different blockchain technologies, some are more advanced than bitcoin has. I think what you're trying to convey is that bitcoin would adopt what other coins have 'features' in them and implement it to bitcoin. While this is not impossible, adoption is slow and better because it's good for decreasing risks of exploits, rather than adopting fast and increasing the risk of breakdown of the bitcoin blockchain. Always remember that new technologies comes with a risk, so developers need to plan and polish it before implementing it to our current blockchain, because if it goes wrong, it may be the starting point of bitcoin's death if not resolved.
