Original article above but let's throw the question out there:

Is Ethereum Overtaking Bitcoin as the Top Digital Currency?

Some company is building a smart contract system based on the bitcoin and potential other coins. So Ethereum is not unique.

what other cryptocurrency pays for marketing and hypes itself before it works?

can i play poker with ether or buy drugs?

poker soon hopefully

Don't know about poker but Augur is coming which should satisfy the hardest gambler.

those devs are clueless about poker and their twitter is inactive for almost a year..

No. I'm a big Ethereum fanboy, but stuff like this is ridiculous.

I don't think Ethereum can overtake Bitcoin but this is wake up call to avoid overconfidence about an alleged hegemony of bitcoin forever. It seems clear that always will be possibilities of new crypto currencies with the enough potential to overtake our loved btc.  ;D

I agree that if the Bitcoin devs totally drop the ball here and prevent the network from scaling, they will squander their first mover and network advantages and open the door for Ethereum as a replacement. I think they will eventually get things sorted out though and come up with a reasonable road map for scaling the network.

They're running out of time.

No, Ethereum is just another distraction just like NxT dark coins Ripple and so many other shitcoins. I wouldn't get too excited if I were you. Good time to short ETH imo

Unlikely, but it's definitely having a great future ahead. If Bitcoin doesn't fix the scaling problem real soon, more people will pour their BTC into ETH.

OFC it will,1 trillion market cap till the end of the year.

I was under the impression that it wasn't a currency.

Did you hear about segwit? Ok I help you. Scalability debate is already over. The fork will be implemented in april.
Well it's not a "PERFECT SOLUTION" but a very good one.

And No, Ethereum will not overtake Bitcoin.

No because your supporters said it well already..
and i quote..


So what did you ask again ?

Ehtereum is not intended as a currency for the daily purchasing. It is a "fuel" to make smart contracts.

ok. checking the board this morning and see "Athereum" everywhere.  What is this name change? Tried to read through some threads but cannot find answer.

ETH is mostly hype and less application.
if it could keep this trade volume up for as long as bitcoin then it should be considered
"overtaking"


it is the April Fools day so most of the names are messed up :D

bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, and a couple more of them

Monero, Dash and Nxt. Feel free to add more if you see 'em.

The poll didn't include options that I would have preferred, like:

"FUUUUUUUUCK NO...are you fucking kidding me?"

or

"LOLLLL!!1!!!eleven!!!!!AHHHHLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!"

Bitcoin whales and community supporters won't allow that to happen for sure. Possibly another cryptocurrency will overtake Ethereum.

It is very possible for another coin to overtake the Ethereum. It depends on the originality of that specific coin.
