Bitcoin Forum

honestly i believe that it will be an alt coin that surpasses bitcoin that reaches 1 trillion first, Ethereum maybe?

Saudi Aramco

You have to ask yourself what is the point of $1 trillion dollars sitting in a token that is basically not used for anything yet.

I would love to proved wrong but i still don't see the point of all those smart contract things.

On the other hand I do see $1 trillion marketcap possible in bitcoin because simply people will want to hold money outside of conventional assets.

But ETH? I dont see how it can reach $1 trillion outside of a massive bubble or if smart contracts in ETH definitely proven as viable and useful.

 It is completely possible but I don't think this will be happening on a timeframe that you are expecting.

Etherium might succeed simply as an alternative to Bitcoin. It has the same ability to store wealth as BTC.
Bitcoin is kinda broken right now and it isn't getting fixed easily.

btc eth or one we have not yet even heard of.

A trillion is rather a big number but I think crypto can do it before apple.

I think it would be some altcoin, meybe even ETH. Bitcoin is getting less popular, we can see that more and more people, investing money in altcoins. We will see in the nearest future :o

My bet would be an Altcoin too, so there is a good chance that it could be ETH. If that's the case, then all of us here that is in crypto right now will be milllonaire  8)

Ethereum has more chances than any other altcoin to reach such a great capitalization but I think bitcoin still has more chances. If we stick to current amount of btc and eth respectively, for btc to reach 1 trillion the price has to be a bit more than $60 000 per coin. For ethereum the price should be  $11 000 per coin which seems more realistic although both options are crazy. That's why I'd rather say ripple has best chances, for it just needs the price of $26 per coin.

I agree with you for that point, when cryptocurrency will become mainstream, imagine average Joe that would like to invest. If he has no clue what is Ethereum or Ripple (but have heard about Bitcoin, but it too expensive) he may be tempted to buy the cheaper price.

That is why I think the perfect alt for the future isn't released yet.

I think that bitcoin will reach 1 trillion of $ market worth funds because it is continuisly growing and  it is so interesting so because of that many organisations want to keep bitcoin alive and they see future in paying with bitcoin what is really perfect for everybody in this forum because we will all make a really great profit from that what can save us from bad life ,what without bitcoin cant be but also I think that other altcoin can reach 1 trillion $ worth market cap fund because universe tourism is creating and many things which are more and more expensive so everything is possible.

Nothing says that someone has to purchase a whole Bitcoin. I would say it will be either Bitcoin gets to a Trillion first or it will be an ALT coin (not ETH)... I prefer the ALT coin case because one will be released with real world utility. I think that it is already out there, but people don't know about it because it is 1) not pumped and 2) just finishing up essentially what is a beta period.

NOpe. bitcoin will still the first one to reách trillion first ;)

It's safe to say bitcoin tbh

I'll bet everybody in this thread $10,000 each that Apple or Google reach a Trillion dollar market cap before bitcoin or any altcoin does. You game?

Since the OP mentioned other stocks i would say Apple,Google and Amazon are the worthy contenders here for the one trillion cap and i would say Amazon has all the chances to reach that figure in the first place.For bitcoin to reach those valuations it will take a much longer time and it is simply not that easy to reach the trillion dollar evaluation,the imagine the magnitude of the value.

of course it'll be apple or google. there's no doubt in my mind whatsoever and it might be in a few months or next year. that's a weird addition to the equation when it's so obvious.

Ethereum is a good platform but none of these altcoins can pass Bitcoin, they can't even reach half of Bitcoin size. Bitcoin will be the first 1 trillion dollar marketcap project. When that time comes we can talk about billion dollar Ethereum marketcap though. At the same time it's possible that we have flying cars and colonized people in Mars.

Eh?

ETH his already a more than 20B marketcap and is a little more than 60% BTC marketcap...

How do you assume that Ethereum will be the first coin to reach the trillion dollar valuation,lets assume that by the end of 2017 we could see a couple of hundred tokens created under ETH  :D ,there must be a burning point right,what will be the N th point when everything starts to crumble. It is well and good when it started and it is still the starting phase,but we will see a burn out phase in the future,just my thought,i might be wrong but i have my strong feeling by the way things are going with ETH and the N number of tokens being created around it.

We are not talking about the entire stock market valuation here,but looking at the valuation of a single stock rather than the entire crypto market which has hundreds of coins and more coins coming out every day. :P Apple and google are much closer to the trillion valuation ,so either one of the stock will reach that magical figure first.

First thing to reach a trillion is kind of a long shot (lol) because you don't even know if Apple and Google are not adopting blockchain (or similar technology) themselves.

But if I had to choose a number one crypto for many years to come I would choose Ether without a doubt

Amazon

Trillion? Not in this decade exactly, and in general, it seems to me, if someone reaches it, it will happen only after 2030. If, of course, someone can

it would be altcoin for sure if we combine all of total marketcap of all of the altcoins out there , this wont probably happen this year , i think apple or google would reach that later its safe to assume all of this on the list would reach 1 trillion

Yes, it's quite possible but probably takes some years.

Ethereum is already over the 50% market value of bitcoin....

Perhaps bitcoin once smart contracts are ready at the bitcoin network via Rootstock and once many other apps are bitcoin native, plus once the 21 million of btc are all in circulation.

The gold is gold

A remarkable achievement if it reaches such a boundary

I think it will be a kind of coin that exceeds Bitcoin.

It'll be the coin that has some kind of mainstream day-to-day use

Possibilities on passing up bitcoin would be always there and i think the same coin too on which is ETH but for now Bitcoin is always on the move and do increase its price par from ETH. Talking about reaching trillion dollars is possible on Bitcoin only and those stocks and company mentioned above are having these chances too or already reached that cap.. correct me if im wrong.

yeah a trillion is a pretty ridic amount of money...

Unfortunately Google or a similar company seems poised to take this before cryptocurrency. I think they'll do it first because our reliance on them, especially Google, is only growing, while most people have hardly heard of cryptocurrency. Eventually crypto might surpass them, but not before they reach the 1$ trillion mark, at least in my eyes.

It would be near impossible for Bitcoin to reach $1 Trilliom market cap, then how do you think that an Altcoin would reach it. Bitcoin is used to pay everyday stuff and its market is always expanding, but where can you pay for everyday stuff in ethereum for an example. Altcoins are just investments and they cant really be an accepted currency.

Every new president steals from American's 100% more by printing money so if Trump does the same your 1 trillion will be 1/2 trillion by the new president comes to replace him. If I had to bet I would say Ripple they make their thing sound like ti's a decentralized thing but are in bed with banks so that is who I think can push it to half a trillion first. (today's trillion).

i'm also with those thaat say bitcoin, it's the biggest one and should be the first to reach 1 trillion, if this will ever be possible for any coin, second chance is to give to ETH, i guess ETH might have a chance to surpass bitcoin marketcap, but i'm not sure, one must also see that ETH have more supply, and will be more easy for it to reach the trillion marketcap

It is indeed far more impossible to reach that amount but to answer your question my bet would still be Bitcoin. I'm not saying Bitcoin will reach that amount though but if ever there it'll reach that amount and that is a big "IF" I think it would be bitcoin and not some altcoin.

I was going to create a topic with the exact same question when I saw this one already existed.

Here is my take: it will be neither BTC nor ETH. I think EOS is poised to reach the top first.

Whatever you choose , first one will be always Government and maybe you think that nothing is linked to them , you are wrong!

I think as people make money off altcoins they will build their asset wealth with bitcoin. So they make money frim other coins and tokens but use that to buy more bitcoin. This will make bitcoin worth the most out of all assets by a long shot.

First to reach 1 Trillion $? It is not a thing that can be predicted it may be an altcoin or bitcoin anything can happen.

It will be bitcoin , ether has nothing people are simply trying to increase its price i said before also ether was not meant for ico ico are nothing but scam they dont make any difference and ether is simply helping ico if people start focusing on real use of ether it can surely surpass

You must be kidding 😀. I know Saudi Aramco but, it has a long way to go in order to achieve 1 trillion.

i dont think so bitcoin will reach as per apple or google share because as we see the value of BTC it is going down and a little increase. So there will be negative effect on BTC because of many reason. it can be political or government regulation. If we see the day before yesterday news apple is going on exposure again. Now they will be assembling iphone in india instead of china.

100% agreed. Bitcoin is the only candidate for such an enormous market cap. Also, I think it will be super-good for our community if just the whole crypto-market cap will be equal of 1 trillion$ - not a single coin.

None at this rate. But seriously one individual will take a long time before it hits 1 trillion. It we are lucky we might hit 1 trillion for the entire market this year. But again hard to tell at this rate what can happen.

You never know, because this market is new, which has never happened before, a lot of new things has right to be considered.

It sounds good to hear, but in near future it is impossible to reach $ 1 Trillion market capital in crypto world. if it happens in crypto world that would definitely Bitcoin only.

I think it would be some altcoin, meybe even ETH. Bitcoin is getting less popular, we can see that more and more people, investing money in altcoins. We will see in the nearest future Shocked

 ??? ???

IMO it will be either bitcoin or Ethereum. Who passes a trillion first is hard to guess but I think Ethereum is biggest in the end of 2018. Maybe Ripple is a competitor too.

ETH has been on a long uptrend compared to BTC lately.
So I'd say ETH will reach 1 trillion first.

The ETH network is so huge, with all the tokens and whatnot.
There's always going to be a demand for ETH. Think about it.
More and more addresses will have ETH on them. And ETH is limited.
