Again, are you sure this is going to be true
forever and ever? All everybody is saying here is akin to saying, "Internet Explorer is the most popular web browser and everybody knows about it, and it's everybody's first browers, bla bla bla".
Yes, Bitcoin is the most popular digital currency
right now. But it has major technical limitations in performance and cost that leave it wide open to competitors for the long term.
Long term, the lower cost option always wins out. It might take a while, but that's what happens.
If you want to invest in something for the next three months, then sure, invest in Bitcoin. But the only "1000x" opportunities out there will be from digital currencies that
change the paradigm to something that will truly scale to handle the entire world's daily transactions, and do so far cheaper than any other existing means.
In my perspective, I believe that there is no permanent in this world but change, so I also think that in the future, Bitcoin will be replaced by more advanced, more popular and more user friendly altcoin. I think it does not need to be decentralized since masses are already use in using centralized services.
With regard to investment, I also agree that new projects offer higher returns in time-to-profit ratio, but with a higher risk. We have seen many investors burned by new projects so I suggest taking full caution in investing on one...
@ the topic, it may take time for altcoin to overtake Bitcoin but no matter how long it takes, I believe one day a cryptocurrency will emerge that will outperform Bitcoin but before that, let us enjoy the opportunities Bitcoin offers.
