Why is bitcoin dead? People have been saying an altcoin was going to dethrone bitcoin for 10 years now... still hasn't happened yet.

It is a very slow death. It is easier and faster to buy things with Litecoin and eventually Steem and Smoke.

Yes, that is true. It has been true for years now with many coins, why haven't they overtaken bitcoin? The answer is because bitcoin is the first, it is the most secure, and it has a major use case as a store of value. People wanting to use crypto for micro payments have other options, like you mentioned, though bitcoin may do that too in the future.

Yes... Bitcoin has been wonderful. I bought it back under $1000 .... but now it is too slow and too expensive ... I’d rather send Steem to someone for any good or Services.

Yes of course, but at the end of the day, bitcoin is just software. It can be upgraded and updated. Which is what people are counting on.

Yeah did my first trade today in a long time to buy some steem and the amount of time it seemed to take to transfer BTC to Bittrex had me wondering if it was not time to further diversify.

Yea, I believe the average transfer time is close to 30 minutes at this point.

Bitcoin is slow and expensive .... it is useless and will die. So many better Cryptos. Steem is the fastest of all.

Steem is actually not the fastest, but it is up there. When you are talking about transactions times of 3 seconds or less though, it really doesn't matter much.

Trading with gold is slow too

Not so much slow as very heavy. 😎
