Bitcoin Forum

Is it true that the majority of Americans don't even know what Bitcoin is? Does that mean that ETN has a better future in the market, since most Americans know nothing about bitcoin but other county does. What do you think about these?

Unless your question is willingly provocative - do you care explaining a bit more why would ETN be "bigger and better" than bitcoin ?
BTC crushes ETN at all levels - history, resilience, trust, philosophy, miners' support, community support, storage of value, real-world use, marketcap, etc.

i invested in the electroneum ICO but it will never be bigger than bitcoin

Actually I just got confused about it , because i've red in an article that ETN is bigger and better than Bitcoin and it will continue to rise to the top. And that It is designed for the 99% Market potential with a more secure decentralized blockchain and someone tweeted that its 40% bigger than bitcoin and as you said BTC crushes ETN at all levels. It's really confusing (well, for me).

Bitcoin is and always will be in first place. Maybe the majority of Americans don't know what Bitcoin is but it does not change anything. Bitcoin is the most sure and safe coin and it will not change quickly

Nothing will take bitcoin's place in the crypto currencies. Sure, there will be plenty of
 other good coins too.

Dude -- it is true that the majority of Americans don't know what Bitcoin is. Which means EVEN LESS know what the heck ETN is.

Bitcoin is worth nearly $5700. ETN isn't even a listed crypto yet.

In fact, I have been following BTC and altcoins for a long time now, and I still have no idea what ETN is (other than just checking out their generic looking ICO site now).

That doesn't mean that ETN won't be a successful coin, it just means that this thread is ridiculous. Because there is literally ZERO basis for comparing ETN to BTC.

Acording to CNBC “almost 80 percent of Americans have heard of Bitcoin … yet almost half of those are unsure if the digital coin is even legal,” (source (https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/22/why-digital-currencies-are-a-dicey-bet-for-your-retirement-savings.html)) so I guess that answers your first question.

As for your second question, ETN is not even close Bitcoin and will not be in any foreseeable future. I'm not even sure where you got the idea it could be.

i agree with you.

i think wtn has a good marketing strategy wih giving bonus as ponzi scheme.

their fans says that etn will be 1 usd in short time, i dont think it will be.

i don't think 1 dollar will come any sooner than a couple years and that's only if ETN is as successful as the team intends it to be

Although i threw a few bucks in this ICO, the answer of your question is: never never never ever forever... (imho)
Nowadays there is nothing that can be remotely  compared to bitcoin. Not just for beeing pioneer,.. but the fact that  you need it to have access to buy most of the altcoins.
Electroneum wont have success as for what the project itself aims. But there is a viral marketing campaign , that will be great for the community, as many people will hear about cryptocurrency.
By the way.. get ready for the EPIC dump when it hits the exchange... all this bonus given during ICO will be burned then.

Electroneum is a British currency, so I guess it has nothing to do with Americans at all. As for the currency itself, a lot of people have been talking about it. I think it's not a scam but probably a legit attempt to make cryptocurrencies closer to people through their phones. It's nice they have an app and that mining is supposed to be possible via the phone but isn't it going to make accumulators exhausted? How are they going to deal with that? Their gaming aspect of earning tokens is actually genious though. Yet I don't think it can even come close to bitcoin anyway. I won't invest in this ICO but I might buy some coins after the release.

You won't actually mine with your phone, it will be more like a game with a little faucet installed. Battery friendly.

I have also invested in this ICO, but lets be realistic. I didn't invest in it because i thought it is better than btc. The main reason for me, and also for many other probably, is the fact that ETN is made to be adopted for regular users. For me, you, your friends etc. That idea for mobile mining is nothing than pure mobile  ''free'' marketing. You see, many people don't have privilege to buy even a 0,01 btc at this moment, but with ETN they could enter crypto world for free (and even be graduated with few bucks per month ). That concept is amazing, and surely will bring crypto's to wider range of people. Now there are around 8-10M people that are using BTC, so if we compare that number with potential number of ETN users, ETn has a really good chance to be seen on global crypto scene, but it is far far from being equated with btc in any matter.

Interesting ICO, invested in it. BTC is just  waaaayyyy better, Electroneum is a nice project, with big mobile potential and an awesome marketing team, it's got potential but it's got a looooong  way to go to catch up to BTC

I haven't laughed this hard in weeks. This place never ceases to amaze me.   Thanks OP. 

There is another thread in this forum that compares BTC with Doge  ;D ;D

What the heck are you saying? Lol even electroneum just another altcoin with shit code. You will be banned from america. You're british based project. If you are talking about america and the answer will be once and you will be or already banned by SEC.

I guess it's pure provocation and some pump attempt.

"Is it true that the majority of Americans don't even know what Bitcoin is?" - Pure FUD.

Electroneum is nothing compared to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a well known currency.But we never know,what will be in the future

surely has interesting potential but the market cap they are looking for is very high

Damn hahaha please are really you that speculating much? That doesn't mean people invested more in the ICO will pass BTC instantly.

Electroneum will never be bigger than Bitcoin.  However it's safe to say electroneum will have 200k people signed up before the end of the ICO.  That is a huge amount of people to start a community with and should result in ETN being a HUGE name in crypto in the future.

Electroneum's hype is ridiculous, this coin has nothing to offer and it is getting pumped by YouTubers and crypto bloggers only for their own profit.

Actually this is a very good demonstration of how the electroneum team will be able to make ETN go viral, we have only gotten a taste of their internet marketing skills from this ICO.  ETN will be huge brotha.

Your mistake lies in the comparison between Electroneum and Bitcoin which is clearly not suitable for Bitcoin at all.
See what Bitcoin has achieved over the last few years is very surprising and even Electroneum has not achieved the slightest.
you need more learning before you compare.

I'm thinking Electroneum will be around ripples price in 8 months or so.

I don't think Bitcoin is the best technology in the space but Bitcoin has the biggest community it is what brought most people inot this space, so you think people will give Electroneum whatever a marketcap of $100 billion

Electroneum is not being designed to take over anything. It is designed for a specific use and that means in that area, yes it will be better than bitcoin. Bitcoin is designed as a currency and not as much a specialized task. Also, bitcoin will be at the top for a while and will eventually be replaced by something better. Think about how phones have evolved. Anyways, electroneum is big, but will never take over bitcoin because it is not designed to do so.

I have to admit that you are right about their marketing skill.

Electreum collected $40 millions from idiots for a forked coin with promised mobile wallet. I dont know if are just stupid people running it or they are smart scammers.  I asked question as soon as they made any announcement.

Electroneum is successful ICO's but I never expect that they can surpass the bitcoin. Maybe they can increased their value but they can't overtake the bitcoin price. However, their capacity to be one of the trusted coin was in there, but to be one of the top coin in crypto currency in digital community I doubt with that.

I think bitcoin is more higher/highest cryptocurrency and most popular than electoneum because bitcoin is always first place than ETN so that bitcoin is most better than others. For me it is impossible that they didn't know about bitcoin. We also know that Electroneum right now was one of the successful cryptocurrency but i never think that ETN surpass the most popular coins like bitcoin.

bitcoin will always be the top , Electroneum  is just another altcoin with huge supply

Bitcoin is already traded in many big exchanges where Electroneum is not yet listed in the exchanges. Bitcoin is very power cryptocurrency when compared to all other cryptocurrency in the world.

no , i think most americans have known bitcoin and they are already recognized it as an online payment system because bitcoin is actually originated on the us countries and about electroneum , i see that it is popular and many people are investing on this ico because they see that it has a really good project and will probably have a good future ahead but it cant still surpass the legacy of bitcoin because bitcoin is still the primary coin and heart of blockchain ecosystem.

There is no comparison between ethereum  and electronem

Bitcoin is the first coin in cryptocurrency. It has created trust from investors through the price increases. I don't believe any coin can replace Bitcoin.

The bitcoins are even better. Because it is fully decentralized and unmanageable occurs. So here I am more confident. Electroneum is beautiful and has a good platform that works well for us but it is just beginning and we do not know the real thing

Electroneum is not comparable to bitcoin, bitcoin is the best amongts all cryptocurrency. I dont think electroneum will be a having a huge price in the future. Bitcoin is gaining popularity ever since and until today.

I think electroneum can't surpass bitcoin, even this altcoin is successful in the market. However this electroneum have good profile to all people so there's a possibility that in the future they have earn a lot of investors. Moreover in terms of popularity I still believe to bitcoin because due to high numbers of supporters of this coin management were continue developed this coin to attracted more investors and clients.

no compare to bit coin any coin is not bigger so nothing to worry about this coin. actually in the market bit coin has highest and great demand then why should people trying to buying another coins. electroneum has no much value present in the market so try once to buy bit coins. people investing millions of money every day in trading so mostly they have to investing first in bit coin next in alt coin. so present electronum has no much value.

Bitcoin can't be replaced. They already tried to replace Bitcoin with Bitcoin Cash or Bitcoin Gold, but they didn't succeed. Electroneum is just another altcoin. We can't know what will be the price of Electroneum. And there is so much altcoins. But Electroneum may facilitate people to read how many coins they have, as there is only 2 decimals. It is more difficult to say i have 0.0005445633 bitcoin than i have 54456.33 Electroneum. It will be easier to read and talk about the number of Electroneum than the number of Bitcoin.

With these facts I say $1 per ETN by Xmas.

The scam exchange that just sold 4 million fake ETN, it went from $.02 to $.21 in 5 hours. Horrible people were scammed, but it shows the market was willing to go 20x in HOURS!!

are you kidding ETN will be bigger and better than BTC?   :o
BTC has its ups and downs in a few years, making it stronger and bigger.

what does ETN experience?
ETN has never been tested, only the opinion of some people who have bought ETN in the hope of going to the moon.  :P

Not so sure about that!

Is it worth buying ETN for future ?

Mobile Mining is still not working in the mobile app. They delayed it. Let's wait until that works and we will see if was worth to buy Electroneum during the ICO.

 :D :D Knowing Altcoin and doesn't even know what Bitcoin is, are you okay? that's totally BS. Electroneum has a good ICO but with a good advertisement also and also a false advertisement(hello Mobile Mining- Mining @ Mobile using their app but you are not really mining it just called mining lol). When it comes to support, Bitcoin is way better than Electroneum. The Popularity of Electroneum is good but i don't really see it as a BIG and CLOSE Competitor to BTC.

according to my opinion there are some types of altcoin which are good like etherum, electronium etc but it is not true that they are better than bitcoin because is the biggest currency in the present world in crypto history and their rate and users are so higher than all altcoins and still increasing their users and rate with a fast rate.

even if it will work, you cant still expect to get  a descent profit on this electroneum mobile mining app. you will just damage your phone due to overheating and your batteries will  die soon if you still insist doing this. i know electroneum has got the sympathy of the masses and so far its been a hit and popular ico with hundreds and thousands of participants but i didnt still get the idea of mining in a mobile , im starting to think that it is kind of a gimmick to attract  crowd.

OP statement sound to me like a joke or someone who is just trying to seek attention. First and foremost, what gave OP the impression that most Americans don’t know about bitcoin. And even if they don't how does that make ETN better  ?

That sounds like baloney to me. If the OP really have proper understanding, then he would not even ask those questions comparing marketcap, support, number of years, usage and so on and so forth, then comparing a coin that just finished ICO and does not even know how it would fair in the market yet to Bitcoin. You must be a real joker!

oh look, another dolt who doesn't understand that the "mobile mining" is simulated mining and not real mining, as clearly stated in plain english in the white paper

If there is a big part of the American population that does not know about Bitcoin, I am more than sure than there is a much bigger part of the same population that does not know about Electroneum. The logic is that if these people know about Electroneum, then they should know about Cryptocurrencies basically because electroneum is a crypto. And if they know about cryptocurrencies, it is impossible that they do not know about Bitcoin.

Electroneum is a scam I heard that you cannot send your ico tokens to the exchange! Why is that are they exit scammed the poeple or what? I think they raised like 32mln and still people cannot send their coins is that a joke or what, I cannot believe why people are so stupid and have invested in this scam coin. It is like indahash, they were on every youtube channel and this is why they will fail miserebly, I hope that will teach you the lesson

why don't you actually do some reading and critical thinking before making assumptions?

It will not work and even if it does, it would be nothing. They are really beginning to realize that and then they are now trying to push PC mining out the more, when all the hype was totally based on the mobile. That is just one sweet way to lose trust and loyalty of the investors already.
If you cannot do something, I do not see why you should say it can be done, and even if it can be done eventually, then you should stick to the promises you have made.

Even if the Electroneum can beat Bitcoin Cash, it is a good achievement.

Be thankful if ETN will reach top 50 in the CoinMarketcap! :D

That advantage of being the first will always be there. The support will always be there, and the global adoption will always be there. Who really knows electroneum that just started in a few days which has not even started competing yet with the top 100 coins wanting to compete with bitcoin.

If it can stay more relevant than Bitcoin and achieve in few minutes what bitcoin has achieved in years, then I guess we just wait and see.

Nothing can take the place of the king of the cryptos, Bitcoin. Electroneum seems a good project
but too early to be expecting too much from it.

don't think so

It only could be, not now, just imagine what are you asking about... Bitcoin now is the biggest, the best and the mose reliable coin ever.
