I think it is hard to say which coin will remain where as new coins are always in the works who knows what will happen in the future. I've been a supporter of BTC for a while and at this point I think it deserves it's place as Number 2 but I'm wouldn't say for sure it will maintain that position 2 years from now is all.
My instincts say it's likely but who really knows?
That is true. You never know what can happen! Mybe in the future there will be a coin that will be greater than bitcoin.
