Bitcoin Forum

Who wants to publish their estimated date they think Ethereum will pass Bitcoin in 'market cap'?

I say: June 21, 2016

Nope Etherium wont pass Bitcoin.
It has no total supply so its value will go down.
But if that happen I say Feb 18 2018

when the pos will begin the dump also, so be assured that there is no way it can even get to 0.1 let alone to 1 btc

at present this is 50x increment, wake me up when a coin will do a 5k% increase

Nb can predict that.

Ethereum did 90% increase last week alone.  WTF are you guys talking about?  Ethereum will only have to go a little more than 6x to pass Bitcoin.  Bitcoin is fully dead now. 

Are you for real? Ethereum has taken a big amount away from bitcoin but its hardly any better than a rebranded dogecoin. With its unlimited supply and massive premine there is guaranteed to be tears in the future.

LOL!  Don't understand much about technology - do you?

i guess the unlimited supply and premine are of no concern for you.

I would hope this coin wouldnt come anywhere near bitcoins cap, Im surprised at the amount of people that have jumped on ether already. If you really think its going to surpass bitcoin then you should be all in. i wont be.

Never underestimate the power of greed and the silliness of market cap as an actual measure. Throw in the majority of volume on one exchange and it could top it without having any 'real' users or actual uses. Whether Bitcoin fans are well rounded enough to recognise that for what it is is another matter.

Well i remember ethereum being worth 200k satoshis and were pumped into 500k now i see it worthing almors 0.03btc well for me looks like the silver place belongs to eth now and looks like we are about to see a boom into eth that may bring eth into a high level,i were away from computer last days but i see 40kbitcoins into eth and a wall of 10k bitcoin these just at poloniex soo something is happening here and with a lot of balls.

90% is nothing in crypto, hell even bitcoin from 2xx to current price, did 100%, look at the top alt, they can do 100% all the time

hahaha, well being a realist i will say that it wont pass bitcoin, also are you so optimistic about it because you bought it low and now you are angry that you didnt buy bitcoin at low cost?

Ether did 1000% during the past 6 weeks ;)
That's something bitcoin hasn't done for ages.

I agree that Ether is in a gigantic bubble, right now, but still, the increase in price is there. 1000% is definitely not something that you can see every day in the crypto world, especially in the bitcoin world.

Ethereum for now is useless for me there's no reason that ethereum will pass into bitcoin..
I am 99.9%  believe that bitcoin will stay remain.
And i think the value of ethereum will be stay into 0.008 after june..

the price is just a pump right now, the only question is when it will be dumped back to something like 0.0015 btc per eth

I wonder if their paid advertising that I keep coming across has anything to do with the run-up.

Why are you posting this on the Bitcoin section of the forum when you could have easily just posted this on the Altcoin section, besides just to spread FUD to people to invest in your coin of choice?  Oh, that's right, that's all you want to do.

The Ethereum shiling is pretty strong the last days.They are posting in almost every section.This is pure spam and should get punished with a temporarily ban if you ask me.Really extremely annoying and kind of nudging.
This is a mega articial on purpose created pump which will see mega dump sooner or later.

Do you guys now if there is any difficulty like on the blockchain ether on the ethereum coin?
Would be great to hear about :)

what you're talking about bitcoin in the past did 25x and 12x, those are 2.5k% and 1.2k%

You mean bitcoin will crash to 500 mil marketcap ?  :-\

Parity: 1 million users versus 0 users

When bitcoins hits 10$ hust

I think ethereum will pass Bitcoin market cap in early 2017

Does that mean ethereium will worth more then now ( today it was 8 $ )? I read a lot of good stuff about this coin but I never had any, is it good to buy it now?

Ethereum is only just beginning.

Invest now or get left behind and regret it later.

Parity will happen in september of this year.

1 million users  ???

There are 0 users now.

If that does not, you could be very rich. You are the main advocater of Ethereum in the forum. Are you a bag holder?

Mate i am the ONLY advocate of ethereum on here pretty much. Most of the ethereum community couldn't give a monkeys fuck about bitcointalk

Where are the Ethereum community? I do not see many people talk about the Etehreum price in the Ethereum.org.

Holy dog shitz, you're the guy with those crazy youtube videos.  Spreading all sorts of nonsense about bitcoin with those bug eyes.  You might want to get your thyroid checked.

Do you own any of these things, like ETH and whatnot?  Did you get burned on bitcoin at some point?

Sept 21st, 2016 is my bet.

Once ETH hits $1bn market cap it will hit mainstream news as the next big tech thing. People who left crypto in 2014/15 will all start piling in again. There will also be new members who heard about BTC who will try and make money in the new gold rush. Other cryptos may also rise as speculators join in.

Once ETH hits $1bn there will be a massive PUMP of the entire industry. Crypto 2.0 tech will rise rapidly in value and Jabba the Hut (jealous that his BTC is threatened) will declare war on the federation causing massive instability here on earth. Dogs will lie down with cats, lions will mate with gorillas, and the people of the earth will cry out to Yoda, Obi Wan Kenobi, and a reformed Darth Vader to save us. They will come, but not to save us. They will release a blockchain concept that will be the largest ICO in global corporate history. It will be a massive scam (yes, even bigger than maxcoin) and they will head back to the stars loaded with ETH, BTC and some hot DOGE.

BCT users will give them record-breaking negative trust ratings in retaliation.

I understand that ETH is getting high values on exchanges, but ETH has poor circulation and poor acceptance (yet)...

What a currency needs to get a REAL value is the acceptance... Ethereum has been supported by many cool guys, like Szabo, but like his BitGold, the idea didn't fit when it became true... The whole spctrum behind ETH and the blockchain/smart contracts that it's involves is so new that it make eery prediction a shot in the dark... The Ethereum community is full of programmers and (really) full of people who doesn't appear in this forum, because it is more like a development tool for a new moment in altcoins time than a speculation tool for those who are trading BTC to ETH or the opposite way.

In my opinion, since 2014 (at least) there wasn't a currency so powerfull like ETH.... I don't remember if LTC hit U$10 like ETH. And the "universe" that ETH could expand is so huge that it is unimaginable...

I believe that after the bitcoin halving, a lot of people will get frustrated with BTC price and will start cashing out of BTC and investing in ETH. After the halving, there will be nothing more to hope for in bitcoin in terms of price.

Start cashing into Bitcoin because why?  I just don't see why people would want to invest into something like ETH except wanting to support a decentralized "internet", rather than investing in cumulating an actual currency.

Ahhh, I wish I had bought ETH when it was 0.006, I place an order and it was not filled. I was the best bid.
I admit it is painful to see it going and going. Now I will have to turn off monitor and forget about it.

The attitude of some BTC-hardliners towards ETH is truly fascinating from a view on human behaviour and thinking in limited, already known boxes. The use of old-school uses like "premine", which simply do not fit and are of no worth in context with ETH and the technology as the potential behind it. It will be some kind irony that BTC-hardliners will miss to enter ETH as early adopters, although they should know better, but most of them are trapped in the crypto world of 2010-2013. They will fail to adopt to ETH like FIAT lovers did with BTC back in time.

I say BTC-hardliners, not big holders, as those are probably smart enough to diversify their risk by going into ETH.

ETH has now 10x the value it had at the beginning of the year and still we hear the same mantra: "It is a pump, it is worth nothing, won`t displace BTC." The Ethereum Foundation is funded with millions and has nearly 100 developers. Vitalik Buteryn has been speaking in front of the EU parliament, in front of R3 and other big companies from the finance sector. Slock.it, one of the ETH startups has partnerships like the one with the energy giant RWE. Other Ethereum startups could disrupt Uber, the other one a heavy part of the music industry.

But yes old-schoolers, keep telling us about premined coinz and pumpz bros.

BTC has a history and a use case ether does not. Can the average person use ether? At the end of the day ether is just another altcoin, sooner or later it will fall just like paycoin,auroracoin,nxt.... I would put ether's true value at $0.50 to $1.

Maybe it's true value for you, but market says you are wrong.

+1

Just watch the polo trollbox at the moment and you will see what is building at the moment. Greedy people scrambling to move their fiat and bitcoin to poloniex to buy buy buy ether en masse now.

This is exactly what the ether holders want now. People buying their now overpriced coins in huge amounts. When last week people were buying 100 usd worth, now they are buying 1000 usd worth because they have FOMO.

Those same people will jump ship once their money halves in one epic flash crash, along with the selling of the holders, this will be fun to watch.

I heard that theory when ETH was 2 dollars and I will hear it when it's 20 and also when it's 50 dollars.

It is quite difficult for the Ethereum to be the same price as bitcoin. But anything is possible. The bitcoin price is dropping.

At present, both bitcoin and Ethereum price is stable. So they will not be in parity in the medium term.

This is not true! Bitcoin don't have stable price and this is main problem of adoption i believe. ETH is pumped by whales, and they waiting now for a LISK so be ready to switch support on time, or should i say dump on time!

I do not think LISK will be the replacement for Ethereum. Etherum is the one for the smart contract system.

ETH will overtake bitcoins market cap by next year.  If it doesn't I'll eat a whole hat shop full of hats.

If the block size of bitcoin is increased to 4MB or higher in the next year, bitcoin is still useful for many applications.

So I think the Ethereum will not be higher than bitcoin in terms of market capitalisation. Bitcoin can also be used in smart contracts.

In my opinion, the current price of ETH was just the first wave like Bitcoin was years ago. You don't get it yet what it is because or you have not researched enough or you are in denial. It does not matter if ETH is in a pump or not right now, the technology is just great and deserves that 1 Billion market cap and more. It might go down and up the next months and probably till the end of the year...and than what? Do you really believe that when the new releases of ETH, specially Metropolis are not going to move the markets? When it happens, it will open its doors to the masses and show the full potential it has to offer...and then my friend, it will be just too late to get it. If you have been following Coindesk news everyday, you would know the powerfull people that are getting behind it, including banking, financial corporations and tech corporations, which Bitcoin never had.

This is a revolution in interconnecting systems...open your eyes. Don't get in just for quick bucks, go further....imagine the future in years.

in Ethereum Vs Bitcoin one thing is important to me in order to speculate the price

available supply
Ethereum	Bitcoin
78,000,000+	15,000,000+
----------------------------
Maximum Coin limit
Not Clear	21,000,000

you do the math

correct. bitcoin will always be on top of all altcoin, including ETH.
bitcoin is the first coin has the highest value and very popular to use, I think bitcoin still has many advantages that can not be defeated by ETH

The number of supply does not matter. I remember one coin called 42, there are 42 coins in total. I do not see it any more.

lol
nice comparison my newbie friend with only 1 post.
42Coin has a 0.2BTC price but there is another important thing that you didn't mention the trade volume which is like 10 pathetic dollars.
