What Coin Will Overtake Bitcoin In Market Value First?

This recent surge in crypto-mania has revealed some troubles with Bitcoin, and someone is going to overtake the top dog in the future.

Bitcoin is slow, expensive and now really only seen as a great store of wealth. That doesn't bode well for it being used in our daily lives. That doesn't mean that crypto won't be integrated into our lives soon, but what coin will it be?

It's hard to argue that Ripple has a real chance at breaking through, but it is still controlled by the banks for better or worse. It has such a large supply that if it hit around $6 it would overtake the current value of Bitcoin. I think we are still a long ways away from that, but it has been steady gaining in marketshare lately while almost everything else has gone down.  A case could be made for Ripple.

Ethereum is a more dominant platform and seems to have the technical advantage, but one of the coins on the Ethereum blockchain could be one to break through. I find it doubtful that Ethereum could overtake Bitcoin in the sort-term, but in the long-run I'm willing to bet it will.

Litecoin is one that has seen some incredible growth recently, is much cheaper and faster to use, but has such a long way to go to catch Bitcoin. I think that Litecoin really fills some holes in the marketplace, but if crypto is accepted for daily use, the larger supply coins could do better.

Could something like Dash be the one?

What about Steller Lumens? They have been around for a while and are working with some major companies. A case could be made for Steller I guess.

To be honest, I have no idea what will overtake Bitcoin and if you would have asked me a month ago, I would say that nothing would challenge the king. But now, with $100 transaction fees and slow times, it only feels like a matter of time now.

I am very interested in your thoughts. We're all just guessing here, but would love to know what coin you think will overtake Bitcoin and when you think they'll do it. Let me know in the comments below.
