RE: Why Bitcoin Could Reach $23,000 Soon

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Of course they will see Bitcoin first. Bitcoin is first. But I think that the confusion that will come from seeing Bitcoin Cash second will result in people wanting to research.

If people see Apple and Apple cash (Apple Cash as an example) they would think "WTF, What's the difference?" Once they investigate the difference, they'll decide it's worth the extra ten minutes (In their inexperienced minds) to research the next largest crypto. Whether that's Bitcoin Cash (because it's second on Coinbase), Ethereum (because it's the next listed crypto that isn't "Bitcoin") or Ripple (because of CoinMarketCap), They will begin their exposure to alternatives to Bitcoin.

I have a feeling that Reddit will begin to play a larger part in this ecosystem as time goes on, mostly because it is a very active community. Especially because, as everyone knows, this is a very overbought, overhyped market.

I have a feeling that the confusion that will be brought on by Bitcoin Cash will have a very bullish (in the long term) effect for Altcoins.

My question for you is; if people look as CoinMarketCap and see 250% gains on Tron, with 5% on Bitcoin, what are people going to impulsively start doing? Personally, I think that we are still in the early stages, and because of that, Altcoins are going to continue to gain relative to bitcoin.

However, Bitcoin is not going to go away. I would not be surprised to see Bitcoin hit $500,000,000 market cap. But it is my estimation that bitcoin does not hit 50% again until there is massive mainstream (read ill-informed) adoption of Crypto.
