Bitcoin Watch – Bitcoin competitors primed for 2018

blokt.com (Blockchain News & Tech) proprietor and MD Greg Adams believes Ethereum is the way forward for cryptocurrencies. Mr Adams said: "For the time being, I don't believe that bitcoin is dead. I do believe, however, that we'll begin to see a more significant shift in market dominance from bitcoin to other cryptocurrencies throughout 2018.

"As people become more educated on the specifics of each currency, they'll move their money to projects with the better tech. I can see projects like Ethereum, EOS and ICON picking up steam this year, at the expense of Bitcoin.

"Bitcoin has become a bit of a dinosaur in recent years, and its fate could be similar to that of the Sony Walkman."
