Bitcoin is not a superior blockchain, there are hundreds of projects that are faster, cheaper and more valuable than Bitcoin. Bitcoin has market dominance because it is one of the first and most topical cryptocurrency (did you know that the price of BTC has a direct correlation to the amount of google searches). Here are a few things that could really end Bitcoin’s dominant era:
Blue chip company coming into the markets
This is more so for all cryptocurrencies, but Bitcoin in particular. It’s not a matter of if but a matter of when a blue-chip company such as Facebook, Amazon or Google decides to implement their own cryptocurrency, they will dominate the market.
The consumer trust is already with these big companies, and they have the power and capital to influence the entire market.
Another possibility is a potential ‘world coin’ which global governments will all agree on using, this may seem unrealistic but it is definitely not impossible and many benefits would arise from having such a currency.

Devin is kind of right and kind of wrong here in my opinion. Let me explain: his answer correctly points out that there are currencies that have superior technical features to BTC. He also points out correctly that BTC has received a first mover advantage that is self-fulfilling a la “google searches”.
Here’s where I disagree with the enthusiastic blogger: Bitcoin, specifically BTC, may eventually replace bitcoin as it figures out how to leverage its current market position and name brand power to become the de facto crypto currency for generations. But we don’t know if this digital currency is yet like Kodak, which achieved dominance for a century in their marketplace until they grew complacent and failed to transition to digital, or if BTC is more like Atari or EBay- a decade or so of dominance then a trail off as usurpers Nintendo and Amazon iterated ahead of them.
No corporate token will replace bitcoin. Google may have a valiant attempt but as far as utility one of the freeing thing about cryptos (and thus their appeal) is the lack of middlemen control typically forced in fiat banking. I suspect while tokens may make a lot of sense for companies like Marriott, Amazon, maybe even an Uber or DiDi, having those companies create a dominant digital currency to replace BTC will be almost as poorly received as having a digital currency created by Goldman Sachs.
If anything will replace bitcoin, I suspect it will be one of two things:
  1. one of the current underdogs with the better code will find a way to market and brand themselves. for example, all the major shipping companies adopt Ethereum as the de facto currency for the smart contracts or litecoin shows us it can operate on a utility scale that bitcoin can not or China does a runner and suddenly NEO is the go-to currency of 1.3 billion people.
  2. A new, lesser known, entrant finds a utility function of blockchain technology that makes it so overwhelmingly necessary, that like Amazon, it eats the world. The problem with this second option is that we are in the “mobster phase” of the evolution of the industry. A lot of shamans, and a lot of fraudsters, a lot of potential for abuse. We may find cryptos that overwhelm the current crop of “1st movers” ( in terms of public acceptance) and the second gen could already be here, buried under the snake oil. But until we see utility legitimatized along with greater market penetration, I think the idea of adopting a CURRENCY backed by a corporation or a few corporations is a little bit too reminiscent of Bladerunner for many.

The heart of Bitcoin is the blockchain concept. Blockchains make certain that the difficult work of security is carried out by every user of the system, therefore rendering it incredibly difficult for malefactors to commit fraud and theft.
The many altcoins and cryptocurrencies that have grown up in the wake of Bitcoin all use the blockchain concept in some variation, although they generally have their own takes on it that are completely separate from BTC. Therefore the blockchain concept at the heart of Bitcoin has been shown to be quite sound.
It is difficult to imagine the circumstances that could destroy the value of Bitcoin, with its massive head start in name recognition and market capitalization, yet leave the remainder of the al coins functioning. It stands to reason that Bitcoin will be the gold standard of cryptocurrency for the foreseeable future. However, it is possible that Bitcoin will be found, for some reason as yet unknown, to be insufficient for the uses of the future.
Ripple
Ripple has been substantially funded by large banks and people with close connections to regulatory entities, which means that it is both more stable and less transparent. Unlike Bitcoin, which maintains security by including a record of every transaction in every existing copy of the blockchain, Ripple maintains a ledger-like system that allows for much greater customer privacy. This simultaneously makes the coin more vulnerable to misuse and more valuable to large economic entities. Ripple is also optimized for modern commerce, with infinitesimally small transaction fees and vastly faster transaction processing times than Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other cryptocurrency. It even matches the speed of many credit cards.
Ripple is an entirely premined currency, with a set number of Ripple tokens in existence and no possibility of more to be created. 62% of all coins are held by the consortium that designed Ripple, a complex international corporation founded by more than seventy banks and large financial organizations. As is a common theme with Ripple, this both decreases transparency and increases utility. If the non-circulating bulk of Ripple is discounted from the statistics, then there are those who will say that it already outperforms Bitcoin per unit. Due to its utility and the financial heft of the organizations behind it, Ripple is a fairly safe bet. If Bitcoin were to collapse today, Ripple would be ready to take over the market.
Ethereum
This coin has the advantages of faster transaction speed, high-powered investment, and an extremely committed development team. They also hold a novel view of the blockchain concept that changes their focus from direct commoditization to the maintenance of contracts.
Although this detail may seem to be arcane and technical, it certainly qualifies as a radical approach to the root causes of monetization.
The Ethereum development team is adamant that they are not a cryptocurrency, and that the ETH coin is only a byproduct of their project, but they are certainly similar enough to all the other cryptocurrencies for the purposes of investment and financial activity. The developers in Ethereum are closely connected to financial and governmental entities in Russia, and that country’s burgeoning interest in crypto has been reflected in its market capitalization.
Ethereum with one of the largest market shares, and they are generally considered to be the best guess to eventually match Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Cash is still relatively new to the crypto scene. It was introduced in August 2017 when the Bitcoin blockchain split into two. Bitcoin scalability was one of the driving forces behind the move, among other factors at play.
The most significant difference between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash is the size of the block size. When looking at the Bitcoin blockchain, each of the blocks has a maximum capacity of 1 megabyte. Bitcoin cash has a maximum size of 8 megabytes. What’s the big deal though? Why does it matter?
The size difference in the block size allows for more transactions processing. Bitcoin Cash provides for 7,000 transaction processing in just one block. Bitcoin gets a cap at around 2,500 transactions per block. Getting back to the scalability, as the popularity of the cryptocurrency continues to expand, Bitcoin Cash is better suited to handle more mass adoption.
The most prominent hurdle Bitcoin Cash has to face is the infrastructure. Wallets, payment services, as well as other remittance platforms fail to support Bitcoin Cash at the moment. Bit Cash is simply not that useful, yet. It can be bought, sold on all of the exchanges. That is about where it ends, though, value-wise.
Bitcoin Cash can handle a larger transaction volume, giving it a chance in the scalability department if it wants to dethrone Bitcoin. More mass adoption in the form of being able to use the cryptocurrency in real-world scenarios is needed though to leap.chech for affiliatecoin.tech for more.
