ITT: We discuss possible masse exit scenarios from BTC in the [un]likely event it is abandoned for fiat and/or a different protocol.

>What price point must BTC descend to in order for “shitcoins” to rise in proportion to drops in bitcoin?

>What will be the average normie’s preferred escape route? Will frantic hodlers USD up, tether up, ETH up, XRP up, LINK up, etc?

Which coins or tokens could possibly survive a BTC crash if the “unthinkable” occurs and people wake up one day to find that bitcoin has gone the way of dinosaurs like the Model T, the rotary phone, the MySpace or the Netscape?

Or will crypto altogether end up in the trashbin of history’s tulip crazes?

What say you figgetz?

Bitcoin is going to die after it loses its first spot. Instant loss of faith and it dumps into three digits.
Miners switch off, very long block times, nobody is buying.
The rest of the market will be unharmed by that.

Bitcoin doesn't actually move the market, it just seems that way because of index buying. Funds are buying baskets with weights based on market capitalization. As long as bitcoin is the biggest it looks like it's moving everything, but that will shrink as it loses its dominant position.

It's only 32% of the total volume and 2x eth's.
As I wrote, the perceived correlation it's 100% due to basket buying. Bitcoin isn't moving the market, bitcoin is moving along with the whole market which is a subtle but important difference. It's not actually that important in itself.

Bitcoin will eventually be taken over by self-interested groups that will change the protocol into a centralized juggernaut. Bitcoin will never die, but it's spirit will be displaced, released like a fart on the wind. Few will notice.

That’s my take as well; Bitcoin is perceived to be “The” crypto market, as apposed to merely an entity/brand/protocol within it. Once that perception changes, the rest of the market can absorb BTC’s liquidty because the underlying interest in, and possible use case for crypto in general is still bullish long term.

But that still begs the questions; who’s still holding and at what point will they liquidate into something else?
>bears arent certain how much downside is left to short and reliably exit because at a certain point BTC isn’t profitable to mine
>normies are hodling BTC like lottery tickets out of brand loyalty and irrational lambo dreaming
>nobody agrees at what price to capitulate

I see a lot of sideways action due to the above two factors. Which is too bad because the longer this plays out the longer it takes for the space to evolve.

If only somebody would dump Satoshi's Wallet, we could finally move on. Perhaps though, Satoshi has a heart and is waiting for enough normie wallets to cashout so that Wall Street is left holding the lion’s share of bags when the BTC market crashes. That would be based af.

Pretty much already has been taken over and concentrated in the hands of a few miners and whales.

If I were Satoshi, I’d dump my wallet on those special interest types.

miners have to dump and we are talking billions annually.
Bitcoin will die after eth gets full PoS. Suddenly people will start asking questions: "I get income from staking eth, what do I get from btc?". At the same time, ethereum will have zero dumping from miners compared to billions from btc.
Perfect setup for death.

Unfortunately eth has its own problems and nobody knows the date for full PoS

nobody is going to use small hubs, only ultra-centralized network sort-of works in ln.
There's a new ln wallet called 'wallet of satoshi' bitcoiners are very ecstatic about it because there are no problems with channels etc. You know why? Because it's literally a bank. You deposit btc into the company and they run few channels for everyone.
That's going to be the future of ln. You can forget about getting any money from fees.

>nobody is going to use small hubs
well it depends there is some locality in real world commerce which the ln network can match. it will take a few years before ln takes it's first working shape. you can pool the liquidity kinda like you pool mining power it's more risk right now but perhaps smart contracts will be of help.

It already took shape. Did you ever wonder who is paying for all that ln development? It's not altruistic.
The business model of every wallet is to make people use their nodes, or even deposit bitcoins directly requiring trust.
Right now you can still choose a node in some, but that option is going to be relegated to 'advanced options' in the future and eventually disappear.

The space IS evolving. Just in evolving in price, but in technology, it is.

I see it in a different way. The longer the shitshow continue, the saner the market will be after.

The year is 2020. Institutional money at large is finally interested in cryptocurrency, but is disgusted at the idea of every pleb(including tax authorities) being able to track their every move.
The real flippening slowly occurs over the course of 2020-2021, wherein by 2022 Monero is worth nearly $7000.
