None are as stable as Bitcoin. There are some that are faster right now because no one uses them, but are likely to fail if they get any serious adoption. Ethereum is the only sensible alternative to Bitcoin but Ethereum has major scalability issues and much less infrastructure compared to Bitcoin to alleviate those issues.

How would USDC fail?
- Kranar 6y ago
  USDC uses Ethereum so it has all the scaling issues Ethereum has. That said Ethereum would be a reasonable alternative, but in terms of stability and performance, Bitcoin is far ahead of Ethereum currently. Maybe Ethereum 2.0 with sharding and staking solves those scalability issues and at that time it will be the best choice, but right now there are too many unknowns.

Ethereum does face additional problems because of the EVM. Proof of Stake is coming which helps a lot with overall effort expended, if not directly tx/s. What does Bitcoin have that Ethereum doesn't for scaling transaction rate?

What about Monero? It seems like the perfect coin.
