I don't know how many people thought that Bitcoin Cash would be the "new" Bicoin, but I hope there were very few people who actually believed in something like that. Bitcoin forks only serve to attract new money in the form of investment, trying to convince people that the team launching the new fork is in possession of Satoshi's true authority and vision. Personally, I think that all those forks are worthless, and the truth is that there are many.
List of bitcoin forks.
I don't think Bitcoin can ever be replaced by another coin. At least it won't be replaced by another blockchain based coin. We are oblivious to everything that is to come.
Wherever there is a central management of a huge amount of emission and a team that (supposedly promotes this project) that absorbs a huge budget for promotion will never replace bitcoin, I believe that only stablecoins can do this, but now there are some problems with them regarding the liquidity of these stablecoins, as soon as they solve this problem and remove the over-enrichment, only then will this coin be able to replace bitcoin.
Well,stablecoins have great potential in providing the stability needed by the market, especially in daily transactions. But what is interesting is how Bitcoin remains a symbol of pure decentralization, something that stablecoins struggle to match due to their attachment to real-world assets and centralized management. The challenge is to create a balance between liquidity and decentralization, two things that have not been fully realized in stablecoins so far.
And is it possible to solve them somehow? I haven’t asked myself this question yet, if you think about it, then simply no one needs it, I mean that, for example, Bitcoin was somehow written and that’s it and nothing else was done, but with stablecoins, a lot of different manipulations will have to be done and an infusion of huge amounts of capital, if you have a different opinion on this matter, then write, let’s discuss it.
Bitcoin is quite uncomplicated in terms of function; it’s intended to act as a mean of exchange which has a fixed model and little flexibility. Stablecoins are somewhat more complicated as they must remain pegged to another asset like the US dollar, which therefore employs different mechanisms to manage volatilities and anchors.
They are usually influenced through large capital inflows, and also through tightly maintaining the reserves in order to keep the prices stable. It can also include activities such as arbitrage, in which assets are switched from the stablecoin and another commodity in a bid to sustain a fixed exchange rate for a preferred value. Unlike Bitcoin that is based on the pure ideas of decentralization and market forces, stablecoins need extra layers to provide the desired stability of their prices. Therefore, in this case, the need for various forms of capital manipulations and management is even more.
