For many, the original major cryptocurrency bitcoin BTC is the one that remains most likely to see mainstream adoption on a large scale.
Since the beginning, Bitcoin has been the project with the largest user base. It also had the best professionals in computer science involved, working on advancing the network's development. Undoubtedly, Bitcoin has the most supporting infrastructure built around it with many prominent projects involved in the BTC ecosystem.
On the other side, there are Altcoins.
There are different types of altcoins available, each one offering something slightly different. Some offer unique functions as well as different systems and processes.
A big benefit of alternative coins is that they are based on different mechanisms and can process many more transactions per second. Additionally, the majority of altcoins are based on new technologies such as smart contracts, that allow them to build innovative applications on the blockchain.
Both Bitcoin and Altcoins are developed around the idea of a decentralized currency that might replace current money. They are made for simple transactions on a peer to peer mechanism. Each transaction is added to the chain, collected in batches called “blocks”.
Usually, a correlation can be found between most altcoin and Bitcoin price trends. So, if a new Bitcoin bullish period begins, investors may want to consider investing in altcoins because they offer higher upside potential. It may be possible to pick one of the few promising projects, but it isn’t very likely because of the sheer quantity of them. The technology behind the project is a good sign for the future of the coin, but it never indicates guaranteed growth.
Scam and FOMO are everywhere so be careful !!
BTC main disadvantages are :
- Learning all the existing ins and outs of the Bitcoin ecosystem presents a steep learning curve.
- Securing Bitcoin requires basic cybersecurity knowledge and awareness. While the network is virtually unhackable, organizations and individual users are.
- The core ideology of Bitcoin goes against the most powerful institutions, governments, politics, banks, regulators, and censorship, and is likely to meet much resistance before these players can tolerate or approve it.
- Despite attempts to enable offline Bitcoin payments, use of the currency still largely depends on internet availability.
- As Bitcoin is still in development, the transaction speed and fees tend to vary depending on mining efficiency and network congestion.
Defi and Dapps may be the core solution in the future but now they are on a basic evolution stage.
