What's so special about BTC except it's the first blockchain and currently has the highest market cap?

How are they going to solve these issues in a short time?
>scalability
>smart contract
>centralization of mining pool/ hardware

Once smart contract infrastructures are built around ETH, there's simply no reason to switch back to BTC. ETH already has a roadmap for sharding, PoS. And it's entirely possible that a DAO will appear and help with these issues.

The world won't wait for BTC to slowly improves itself. Once ETH becomes the fabric of every smart contract in the world, flippening will happen.

Why can BTC maximalist be so religious or have I missed something?

>> No.13138268

Each coin serves a purpose. But BTC gives the others value. When BTC is up , then your shitcoins will also go up in value. Thus having gold is more important then receiving shit coins which may be a scam.
BTC was first. Does it need smart contracts and all of that other shit? No.
It works well on its own. Of course there are some kinks and such but we can work it out to make sure we don't get fucked.
It's in your best interest that BTC wins...because if it doesn't , then we will have lost the war...

>> No.13138269

you've missed the simple fact that

1) bitcoin is money
2) bitcoin is not technology

the demise of bitcoin is the demise of cryptocurrencies as money, it's as simple as that. if you want a utility-only world of cryptos, fine, that would be a drop of about 99% in terms of value, but you can't remove bitcoin from the picture and expect the concept of store of value to remain.

ethereum is fine, but the dao bailout and the 70% premine shows that it is worthless as money, it's value is held entirely due to it's technology and what turing complete smart contracts have enabled. launch ethereum with the same technology as bitcoin, and it would already be dead.

when you understand why bitcoin has remained so dominant with such rudimentary technology, you'll understand why no amount of "better tech" in alts can make a single bit of difference. that and late adopter desperation throws all logic out and they cling to their favorite alt as if its going to make them rich.

Eth ultra mega penta bagholders are too blind to see that "smawt contwacks" is a fucking meme right now considering the scam token platform you guys worship hasn't even fully defined their sharting, sharding* plan or final blockchain specifications. But muh we have the most pajeet developers and basement nerds, well bitcoin has 99% of the hash rate, which by the way for proof of work coins is a big deal.. But I guess muh PoS (piece of shit) staking will make the 70% pre-miners jewish rich and all the reddit plebs decently rich so why not preach it as the next technological breakthrough.

You are describing the current price correlation of BTC to altcoins (and in fiat value no less).
It is not necessarily the property of BTC but rather the status quo caused by 1. BTC is a common trading pairs to altcoins. 2. BTC has the heaviest weight to the market cap.

Point 1 will surely be weakened in the future with more fiat gateway being available. If the majority of trading volume of Monero comes from USD/EUR/KRW trading pair, it's price will be more decoupled from price of BTC.

And Point 2 will naturally become less obvious when BTC drop in dominance.

The only reason why btc gives value to the market currently is liquidity, proof of work gives value to BTC but not other coins, it's the same reason that if usd shits the bed every currency in the world goes to shit

Btc has liquidity it's because you must have to buy btc in order to flip shitcoins... If BTC doesn't scale and ETH does the flippening, then ETH will provide more liquidity and btc will be just a store of value and not really important in the marketcap, it's the same reason why eth got a bubble out of ICOS, you had to buy eth to get into ICO so eth got more liquidity

most current btc maximalist are trying to explain how btc came to be through current lenses, but btc has nothing to do with giving value to other shitcoins, so if other shitcoins could flip it easily if they give more value through adoption or other things

probably btc will be just like gold, long store of value, and eth will be used for the real world

projection of what? i've been in crypto for a long time, and i'm not deluding myself against everything going on around me that some flavor of the year alt is going to somehow "flip" bitcoin.

>>13138325
yep, it's far, far from perfect, but its the only actual pure money in crypto, and the entire concept of whether crypto can even be money rests entirely on whether bitcoin can.

>>13138350
"normies" think that, but then all of them lost their money to be buying up alts at their ATHs while i and many others were selling them. low-volume alts always rise faster and fall deeper, but thats entirely down to their low volume, and nothing else.

>>13138764
because all of the tech existed long before bitcoin did, satoshi just put it all together. it could have been any kind of tech, blockchain or not, it doesn't matter, what bitcoin is is simply digital scarcity, digital money. alts on the other hand have to compete against bitcoin with tech alone, because if they're just 1:1 copies, like litecoin, they might enjoy some speculative longevity, but will always live in bitcoin's shadow.

>>13138850
i didnt say crypto was going to work out, i said that if it does as money, it has to be from bitcoin. debating that is simply your lack of understanding of the non-tech side of crypto.

>> No.13139079

Some of you come close to the answer but miss out somehow. BTC was created to be used as money, however with time, the tech proved to be more useful in another way: as a store of value. You probably wont see people paying stuff with it, it will probably be another coin (or many others). But, as a store of value, it is perfect. It doesnt need to be fast, feeless or whatever, it just have to be trustable. Considering its hash rate, then yes, it is perfect the way it is.

The second fact that makes BTC more valuable than any other is because it was the first to see mass adoption. The whales that got in early are filthy rich and you dont even know. Do you think they didnt buy ETH, or any other coin way before you? Of course they did, and they can increase their stack in any coin they want, and there is nothing you can do, no matter how billionaire you are. Do you know why? Because no matter what, you will never have as many BTC as them. THEY CONTROL SUPPLY YOU MORONS! Did you realize BTC has 51% market dominance? Thats because if you add all other shitcoins, they still can buy them all! Even dollars dont matter that much.... just add every stablecoin out there and you will find out.

bitcoin has well, well over 51% market dominance. market cap is a useless statistic, especially when coins like xrp manipulate it in the billions, and the average alt is something like 50+% premined.

theres no easy way to get an actual ranking of the coins that are actually relevant, but market cap is about the worst metric you could use.

*takes deep breath*

Literally everything you said about Bitcoin applies to ETH as well. Except ETH is in a much worse position because normies don't know about it and it doesn't have first mover advantage.

people said that about flying at first it was a dangerous inconvenient ineffective means to travel with fragile things or canvas and wood exposed to the elements sometimes crashing after a few hundred meters. that is where crypto is. the few early adopters are regarded lunatics. today commercial flight is the no1 means to travel around the world. most safe most convenient fastest and probably cheapest. that is where crypto is headed.

btc doesn't have to do everything it's enough if it acts as a backbone to the crypto ecosystem. eth and all the thousands of alts can go pos go permissioned go semi trustful to scale bitcoin can't. bitcoins path is to keep crypto at the core trustless and permissionless and secure. it doesn't have to scale as much as people imagine it to needs for adoption. buying coffee with bitcoin is secondary to having full control of your finances full ownership of your wealth.

I didn't say crypto will never do it. I said ETH will never do it. It is designed poorly from the ground up. There are already a number of platforms that do everything ETH does but ten times better. Those are the coins you would invest in if you weren't a blind bag holder

i don't think the world works like that. eth will most likely emerge a winner even if there are cryptos 10 times better. i see this all the fucking time in the industry. simply because it has pretty much the most devs the most brand recognition the most built upon already. but i have no strong feelings for eth so whatever.

Ethereum doesn't even function on a basic level though due to scalability issues and a horrible user experience. It's already fallen way behind in adoption despite its 2 year head start. Sorry to burst your bubble bub, but ETH is the AOL of the blockchain.

>What's so special about BTC except it's the first blockchain and currently has the highest market cap?
I see alot of similarities between the relationship of BTC to ETH and Angular to React.
Angular was the most used framework for single page applications, then the devs fucked up and changed things so much that they alienated alot of their devs and most devs switched to React. Now React is the most used framework for single page applications and still gains more traction every day.
BTC was the most used blockchain, then the devs fucked up and changed things so much that they alienated alot of their devs (just look at the amount of forks), and most devs switched to ETH. The vibe and hype in the React and ETH communities is really comparable, which is one of the main reasons I believe that ETH has already won.
Yes, things are still bad, but they will get better with time, because the majority of devs see it as the best approach to a problem, so they will continue to improve it and build tools to build better apps with it. That's why ETH will ultimately succeed, and why other platforms will never come close to the success that ETH will have. People saying it will never scale, it's fundamentally flawed etc. are just fudding bagholders who probably bought some dpos token.

You're actually delusional. Ethereum has already lost all of its users and dapp developers to competing platforms. The top EOS and Tron dapps have more users than the entire Ethereum network. Even IF Ethereum was able to solve its scaling problems, it would still be playing a serious game of catch up, and would still have a vastly inferior economic system due to transaction fees.

Critical bugs like that one that allow unlimited coin creation aren't excusable for software that deals with huge amounts of money, even more so when they're not even working against any deadlines. Bitcoin's team doesn't follow industry standards for software development.

Here you go, since you seem to need visual aid.
Explain to me again how eos and tron or any other shitcoin has a bigger network of devs? You're just the usual eos shill, you're literally in every single thread that is remotely positive about eth. Get a fucking life bro.

EOS is fast and regulation friendly. Ethereum is for censor resistance and high security. Different use cases.

Also, to whoever doesn't get it: BTC is the gold standard for crypto; a way to measure crypto within crypto without fiat. It is also the most secure network on the planet. Not defending its #1, but defending its price and relevance.

Won´t happen with pow and moore law limits being reached.

We will see massive descentralization naturally coming as moore law limits means that miners move from most hash to best kw/hash ratio.

You probably dont get it because you are sad you are not getting quick rich with your shitcoin. The reason why you are poor can be easily revealed by your posts and it got nothing to do with which asset you are holding you just have that typical retard altcoiner mentality. I hold alts and btc if something gains the upper hand ill just switch my funds im not subscribed to any of them. Now look at you and your retarded piece of shit posts your assbrain brapped out.
