There have been articles about how some large companies have hired blockchain experts, but who knows if they're planning to make their own cryptocurrencies or not. Undoubtedly if this happened, many more people would become invested in cryptocurrencies. But what are the other consequences?

If one whale decides to invest more into Bitcoin Cash than Bitcoin's whole market cap, does that mean Bitcoin Cash will replace Bitcoin as #1 for good?

Now that it's been proven there are many other alternatives to Bitcoin which have advantages such as quicker transactions, smaller fees, and higher mining profitability, I don't see a reason to think Bitcoin will get to $10,000.

Will the price of Bitcoin still go up? It seems so outdated when compared to its competitors.

Don't worry one bit  Just hold on. It can easily get to $5 next few days
