This is one of the possible options that should not be discarded. Bitcoin is already hopelessly behind other cryptocurrencies in terms of functionality and sooner or later, but someday it will be forced to give up its place as the leader of the cryptocurrency to others. It is also quite possible that there will be no single leader in this market after that, and, in my opinion, this will give some advantages to the entire cryptocurrency.
We are now awaiting the completion of the ethereum network upgrade, which is scheduled for August. Only some time after that it will be possible to evaluate the further possible successes of this coin.
