Vincent Rdv asks "I'm wondering what you think about the theory that Bitcoin with LN will cause currencies like Litecoin and Dash to become a bit obsolete?"

it never goes wrong to hold btc I guess...

The lightning network aims to solve the problem of non-confirmation of micropayments and high confirmation time of transactions. The network creates a payment channel between two peers.
Let’s take an example to understand this. Let’s say Alice has 10 BTC and Bob has 5 BTC when a channel was created between them. Now, Alice pays to Bob 1 BTC everyday for 6 days. In the channel, there will be 6 transaction records in the local ledger copies of Alice and Bob. Now, when Alice and Bob decides to close the channel and commit the transaction to the Blockchain, there will only be 1 transaction indicating Alice paying 6 BTC to Bob.

Bitcoin still retained the mother of all cryptocurrencies, is still retained it position in top 100 cryptos chart, is uncomparable.

It will.Eventually it will reach 100000$.
Call me crazy but i believe it
And hopefully it will drag many more coins to the top

They dont have to go obsolete, they are alt for a reason, plus every coin has its market, and the market really determines, however ifthe coin has been counterfeited in some type of way, then it may be excommunicated as they say...wooosh away

There seems to be good chemistry between Cedric and you, both are comfortable and agree on the same. Very good analysis.

Thank you! He's an awesome guy :)

Once again, that was great analysis. Bigger and better things are to some for bitcoin and yet I am sure even the alts will have their day in the glory

Bitcoin with microtransactions can go very far and this is the long-awaited future.

I've never read about the permission system! I didn't know that it was important.

I think that all of these alts got popular because they're basically what people wanted to have for Bitcoin. If Bitcoin improves and becomes better than the alternate solutions that people have, and it's the biggest one, then I don't know why people wouldn't use it.

Well, except for the fact that Bitcoin is becoming cheaper by the day and, if LN is not adopted majorly soon, it'll be easier for other alts to take over the market just for the fact that they're used more.

Cedric is one of my favorite!

bitcoin to moon soon

Great opinions. Clearly bitcoin is the king of crypto and that will not change anytime soon. But this doesn't mean this is the end for altcoins, we'll maybe it will be for the useless ones... But good projects that already have community support will keep growing along with the king. Cheers!

I think that theory is true but in the future, and it's great that you are presenting your views on the future of digital currencies, I wish you good luck my friend @louisthomas 👍👍😉
All the best for you 😃

Video is very large and wonderful
Bitcoin work very hard
Well done

I find the last point mentioned by cedric to be extremely interesting. Success could simply be through greter network adoption. In a way, thats why windows is the biggest OS despite its security flaws and apple iphone is the best selling smartphone, despite there being better alternatives out there.

And a lot can be done by other coins to increase adoption. Even if people are misinformed about bitcoin being too expensive at $8000 and therefore choose something cheaper like ripple that is sub $1, or people may prefer ripple because it works well with banks in the future and people just end up trusting banks more than a decentralized system. Through clever marketing, people can be made to believe and trust dictators and vote in a certain way. Xvg could be in the top 5 after yesterday's announcement, who knows!

Yes. btc is not a new coin anymore. people believe more btc. now btc highest price. people will think BTC for a good investment

bitcoin is taking its rest, when it raises its price we will all forget the other cryptos for a little while, then when it goes down, we'll go back to the usual investment.

thanks for giving good information mr louis. great company o/
have a good night
cheers

doubtful, there are still better crypto currencies there for instant payments and quick transfers, for example, steem and sbd wink wink.

Hey @louisthomas, great post! I enjoyed your content. Keep up the good work! It's always nice to see good content here on Steemit!

Hodl is the best strategy for Bitcoin.Even investors who wouldn’t dare buy Bitcoin wonder how long its bull run will last.

Watching this... I'm getting some deja vu. Is this a rehash or reuse of footage from your first duo video with Cedric? I'm ok with it if it is I'm just really curious now.
