Which coin, if any do you think has the power to over take Ethereum and why?

I like NEO and Stratis. But anyway my vote is for Stratis. I like their aspiration to development of technologies.

I think only neo has the power to beat ethereum in couple of years. Their project is huge and its not even hype or anything like that. Even ico problems didn't kill it.

none of these because:
- Eher has a big foundation behind it which started with a lot of money they slowly gained a lot more with the pump and dumps too. they won't let it die that easily. other projects don't have those deep pockets to advertise and pump their coins.
- a lot of people have already gotten caught in the ether hype and are ensnared. this was mostly because of the miners which were a big part of the whole thing so far. they will not leave that easily.
- a lot of ICOs which are the initial reason for the ETH rise and they are keeping it alive.

although many of these are changing, like ICOs eventually dying or mining to die soon,... it will take a long time to kill ETH. probably it will be a slow death too.

Can you add a choice for “None of the above” to your poll?

I could not vote.

Definitely only NEO, but it seems that people always call it the ethereum of china, but, why choose ethereum from china when we can choose the real ethereum.
Ethereum is popular because ICO use eth to fund their project by ICO or crowdsale but NEO, I rarely see it. Maybe in the future.

Coins never kill/replace each other. Otherwise we'd only have a few coins and not hundreds of them.

In my opinion I think DASH coin has the capability to overcome  ethereum.it has a great potential.i think it has a great future.

^ this dude is 2 for 2 in my book today (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2222536.msg22453307#msg22453307). Kudos.

That means I agree.

I wonder though if there could ever be a coin that pretty much killed all the rest of them? Seems far-fetched, because speculators always want a new bag to buy low and sell high to the FOMO (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2224095.msg22459113#msg22459113). Yet what if the ecosystem matured such that most people were satisfied with a ledger and moved on to investing in crowd equity for app revenues instead of tokens (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2221318.msg22455955#msg22455955) (and if ICOs basically became banned every where (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2208231.msg22456674#msg22456674))?

Zcash maybe? It is a good coin with new technology. However, ethereum is being upgrade year by year and I can not guarantee that it will be the same in the next year. After every update, Ethereum becomes stronger and stronger and the price of ethereum also increases. I believe that the metropolis will make ethereum great again

I haven't yet thought at all for one of the other Altcoins can take the position / will be above the power of Ethereum. So far and if looking at the prices history of all Altcoins from before, Ethereum continuesly looking far more tallest than other Altcoins, it seems chances are small if that another coins can beating Ethereum.

I would also vote for “None of the above”. I sure have high hopes for Tezos token, but still think that non of above will effect ETH much. Maybe IOTA will be the new ETH in few years time.

Ethereum killer?
I think this is joke :)

Ethereum best coin ever after bitcoin. There are so many new coins on etherium network so nobody can kill it now!

I think soon ethereum will be coin number 1 in world!

Then you probably are unaware or disagree with my highly negative analysis of IOTA (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2214056.msg22453457#msg22453457).

Personally don't think any will overtake ETH but i'd probably say NEO has the best chance.

Done


And Done. Can you elaborate on why you think IOTA can possibly take over ETH?

that's a cute combination of words, "ethereum killer". Ethereum has far too much traction to be "killed" any time soon. at least 80% of alts depend on the ethereum network in one way or another through its development. In the end - yes, eventually ethereum will meet its predecessor but at the moment it's a staggering feat to accomplish

I definitely agree that those two has the potential specially Stratis. There's a lot of movement on the part of Stratis dev and I think if they have completed in time, they will surely gain a lot of looks from investors. But I'm not sure though if they are behind schedule. Last time I check they should have released a June update.

As for NEO, we all know that this is the Chinese Ethereum. Although the latest news from China really affected the price of NEO, but since rebounded to $50. I think the banning of ICO by the Chinese government really affected NEO. So it will take years before it became Ethereum Killer. But let us see how things developed.

There is no killer at all. Maybe there is powerfull competitors but thats not a bad thing. Market cap of crypto currencies growing day by day and its normal to see new competitors born.
It not a bad thing its really good to have alternatives and competitors in all business models.

Wow, how many killers have Ethereum. So far, none of the killers have failed in their task, and many died themselves. Something tells me that they will not work in the future.

This title made me laugh, like ethereum killer? seriously?

I have heard ethereum to be the bitcoin killer before it had the ethereum ICO. It definitely nothing like that and it is different from bitcoin. People dont understand that a new technology is based on some idea and that idea if new makes an own domain for itself and ethereum is like that new idea.

All the coins stated above and based on new technologies and ideas and they all have potential to become big and have a big price later on but the idea that one coin is going to totally kill another coin is absurd.

Buy whichever coin you want and which you deem fit for investing. (I know that is actually what the OP wants to hear)

I didn't vote, I don't think any of them. But it feels weird to say that Bancor or Aragon might be an Ethereum killer, as these are both Ethereum-based tokens.

so much anticipation, the Ethereum replacement/killer coin
debate keeps rumbling along.

any coin has the potential to take over Ethereum's space
and even take over Bitcoin, but it really depends on adoption,
without the support of the users like ourselves a coin will
always fall short. There are a nice selection of coins in that
list all with their own fan base but too much of a spread to
trouble the #2 spot IMO.

I see NEO on the top of the list and has 5 votes I would imagine
if all the supporters from the rest of the list jumped ship into NEO
there might be more of a chance but the market is too diluted.

Well, lets put aside the word killer and replace it with competitor. What do you guys think can somehow be side by side next to Ethereum?

which has a feature like ethereum is waves so I can say that waves will defeat ethereum later if the developers work very hard.

Yeah I think NEO and QTUM will be the one if they sustained the market like this forever. However, ethereum will also evolve a lot in the long run due to all the ICO hype going around. Investments into ether might just increase by many folds but who knows the reality about it. This is going to be lion to lion fight and race in the long run. I'm considering NEO as potential because it has shown good project developments in short period of time and it is in the news as well. Hopefully people will start investing into as potential coin and if it starts hiking then more investors might jump in. Thinking of ethereum it is very stable at 300 USD since long time and not making any moves which makes more easy for it to loose.

Of course both of NEO and Waves I think.NEO is very effective coin now NEO is big pumping $37.18 in coinmarketcap.On the other hand waves is another Ethereum killer I think.

In my point of view I would say NEO have good ability to kill Ethereum.Because as NEO continues to catch the attention of crypto traders and investors across the world, the future looks very bright and can over come in competetion with Ethereum. NEO is China’s first original public chain. and NEO has an independent intelligent contract system "NeoContract".Since NEO originated in China and already abides by the proposed rules, NEO would be associated with quality and functionality. NEO the-China’s first public Blockchain could become China’s premier digital platform in near future. NEO could possibly benefit over the long term with Chinese regulatory rules on Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs).

I think ETH will adapt and at worst it will remain a viable alternative. Most likely, "Ethereum killer" will be a popular title for quite some time, meaning that ETH will remain a leader.

What is this "None of the above" coin? I think I'd like to invest  ;D

With the kind of funding and VC backing that are behind Tezos, I am very bullish on this one. Of course, they would be huge dumps when it is launched at exchanges and we may see price dip over the ICO price because there are many people whose money is stuck into it and they have been waiting for long to make multiple x's, and if that does not happen, they will dump tezos and move on to the next ICO

Ah you revealed the name of my new altcoin project:

NOTA

(joke)

I voted for 'none of the above' just like most of people did. The only coin close to be ethereum's competitor is indeed NEO. Yet I disagree it can kill eth. NEO is supposed to be growing because of Chinese but, as they are not really into ICOs anymore, I believe neo will not become great. I am aware of its advantages over eth like programming languages and coin's creator potential, but that's not enough for a giant to be beaten IMO.

it seems to me that Ethereum is too far away from their competitors so they could kill him. Main competition is bitcoin but I do not believe that ever any altcoins can compete with him. The Ethereum can only be killed by users and irresponsibility of the developers.

How / why did EOS get compared to being an 'ethereum killer' ? I understand the creator of Bitshares and Steemit is now creating EOS, but just because one person (hint: prolific Steemit poster) says EOS is an Ethereum killer, does not make it so?

I think most probably none of the above would take over ethereum as it was used by most ICO's now. Even if that is the case, I wont set aside the possibility of ethereum being taken over by some other altcoin that also offers token creation on their platform and the one that might possibly do it is waves. Although it has a chance, any other altcoin including waves taking over eth for now is low.

i really dont understand, why we need new eth? Ethereum is good for now and after some security improvements it will be much better. Who can change the game? Noone.

It will be really difficult to kill ethereum. It is a big infrastructure and you should make something different and more powerful. Like a new ecosystem maybe. Not in the nearest future
