Ethereum is one of best altcoin so far. There are thousand altcoins based ethereum and many of them are already in 100 marketcap. It s so easy to create an altcoin on ethereum and it s cheap to create. Transactions are also easy, cheap and fast. Make an account and use is also so easy. %90 of people who knows bitcoin also knows ethereum. There are many new ICO based ethereum. Ethereum has own decentralized exchange called ; etherdelta. There are many Russian , European, Chinese and North American investors on Ethereum.
Price is 0.05 btc for now but just for now.
Many people couldnt buy ethereum after cancelled Segwit2x but as all you know there is a scam coin called BitcoinCash. Nowadays there is a huge pumping on BitcoinCash but no one believe it will go for long. There is a big big dumping waiting BitcoinCash.
What do you think ? Isn't it time to buy Ethereum and wait 20x profit ?

The problem with Ethereum is that it does not have a max supply, but an infinite, making it a very inflationary coin.

yes you are rigth but as you know it s not easy to mine ethereum. so it wont be 1billion for sure but it s a best altcoin in reality work. There are many altcoins with no product but with promises. Ethereum has done a lot so far. Transactions with 1 minute. ( if you use more GAS will be faster ). There are many coins can buy and sell on etherdelta. Its so undervalued rigth now. it will catch and pass btc.

How is ETH the new BTC?

Right now it's not even the top 2 cryptocurrency since bitcoin cash has obviously taken over. Yes, ETH is good for ICOs but apart from that we really haven't seen any advantages of using ETH than bitcoin, or at least on a large scale.

If something is the new bitcoin, it's probably going to be bitcoin cash. And that has less than 10% of happening IMO.

Ethereum's supply is not limited, it was not also created to take place of bitcoin. It can be higher than bitcoin in terms of price, market cap or community but it can't be a bitcoin and it does not already want to be so.

Forgive me I am new to crypto, but bitcoin is the father of all cryptocurrency. I don't think anything will ever be the "new" bitcoin, although we may eventually have something which is better suited for transactions (like Litecoin, Dash, Bitcoin Cash, etc.)... Bitcoin is what the rest of the market values itself against and is also the main crypto used in exchanges to purchase other crypto. For those reasons, I don't think it's ever going anywhere, but rather staying at the top. If anything climbs close, I would wager that BTC is getting ready to make a large leap forward. Who really knows though, this market is so new, nobody can predict what is going to happen in the future. I'm just taking guesses with about a month worth of knowledge under my belt. I learn fast, but this game is traveling at lighting speed.......

Sorry I won't verify this claim. Ethereum as its strength will be very similar to bitcoin for sure, but it won't ever replace bitcoin. Bitcoin will stay as our huge cryptocurrency, ethereum will become best network for ideas and services.

absolutely agree. The main objective of cryptocurrency is the calculation. And bitcoin is the primary currency all the time. Live better technologically, but they are different

It is true that ETH is a good coin. Many people are investing ETH. Also, many ICOs are using ETH for the exchange of their coins or tokens but for now, ETH has still a lower price so it can't be a new BTC. BTC, as a superior of all cryptocurrency, it can't be replaced by a low valued cryptocurrency. Even ETH priced up, BTC will priced more than ETH. We can't say that a certain coin will replaced another coin because of the fluctuating prices but we can say that a coin can be a promising one and will give us profit as we trust that coin.

I think its a good time to buy some Ethereum and wait for some long term profits. The people love Ethereum and features like EtherDelta will create more ETH bagholder and believers!

At least Ethereum has been more of a safe heaven for all the FUD lately then Bitcoin.

i ve believed also BTC was like God of Cryptocurrency but now after this segwit2x cancelled and now how they play with BitcoinCash (0.42 btc ath) so many people are angry now. Because of BTC all altcoins market suffering since september . Btc gold , btc cash , btc segwit2x , than btc silver ( people now talking about) .  Until when that will continue ? Many people are fed up. There are a bunch of good project but the price dont move to up why ? Cuz btc news. People will say that's enough and buy ETH .

@xypos said : ETH is good for ICOs but apart from that we really haven't seen any advantages of using ETH than bitcoin.
Hahaha :D ETH is good for ICOs ? Its a platform that you create an altcoin without any knowledge of Algorithms or programming. Any one in this world have an iddea but dont have money or dont know about alg-prog but still he can make his iddea real cuz of eth. Go there , create a new an altcoin , come to here , tell your iddea to us , we belive , we invest in than he makes his iddea real.
Can you tell me any advantages of using Btc except speculative reason ? expensive transactions? low speed (one day) ? hard to mine ?

All you must know Btc is not blockchain , it's just a COIN. Blockchain has big future but Btc? we don't know.

I agree that blockchain has huge future!   BTC was the introduction of blockchain.  I think the technology goes farther than the coin, by far.  This is why I think some ICO’s are very interesting, if they use blockchain in innovative ways, but even that is in its infancy.  I am new to all this recently and find it fascinating.  ETH seems to be the basis for man6 new projects which makes it very interesting, and I think it has a ton of potential for the future.  Buying some now seems smart.

I totally agree. Ethereum is the biggest threat against bitcoin. I’m hoping to see good news in 2018. We witnessed how dramatically bitcoin can rise and fall. It’s fate is in the hands of certain people. Eth is a little bit better regarding that situation .

it is true, ethereum blockchain is great, there are so much based on it, but thats the problem investor ETH will be dislocated to many project based on it

ETH is great but would never replace BTC for so many reasons !

Ethereum is the the real deal, too many manipulation in btc
Even more all its forks which is popping lately

BCH can not survive in top 2 cryptocurrency  :D if the Bitcoin drama caused an accident i think the best candidate to replace Bitcoin is ETH, this article shows the power of the Ethereum blockchain https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-continues-improvements-amid-bitcoin-bickering (https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-continues-improvements-amid-bitcoin-bickering)

Can you name few of those many reasons?

The way I see it ETH has alien technology compared to BTC, much more uses, transactions are much faster and cheaper and so on.

What do you think is BTC's advantage over ETH, besides the fact that it is the first cryptocurrency ever made?

If ETH can get adoption in the same way Bitcoin has for day to day use (which Bitcoin hasn't got there either yet) then yes it can hold its own. I don't think it will replace Bitcoin but also someone has mentioned about it being infinite. Yet for most of the people I have been working with and talking to lately with ICO's are over 90% on ETH20. Which is a sign of a trend that will continue, also the cost of transactions and the smart contracts make it one that is preferred by many ICO's.

Don't think we will see the end of Bitcoin anytime soon but certainly the rise of ICO's seem focused more on ETH adding value to it.

anyone seen this on twitter ?

@rogerkver : Vitalik is both a genius and a class act.  That’s why I sold a portion of my BTC for Ethereum in addition to lots of Bitcoin Cash.

@jihanwu : I also heard that ETH idea should have be done on top of Bitcoin. Some arrogant people drive him out. Is that true?

It's not just that.
It's extremely centralized, lead by a benelovent dictator. It's "famous" programming language is not more than a tool for scrip kiddies.
And the whole structure it is based has a huge attack surface.
I'm not even talking about the premine and uncertainty if SEC may step in one day or not.
Ethereum can be formed and forced by governments whatever they want it to be.
And who ever believes this will be lead crypto, sorry but, that guys should check for any mental illness!! Seriously!!

Ethereum is not to replace BTC,but it is one of the leading coins.

Ethereum is a very good altcoin but it's not new BTC. There is no new BTC.
You can still invest in Ethereum and wait 20x profit. $300 x 20 = $6000 It's not too hard to reach for Ethereum in the long run.

It's hard for me to understand people who find ethereum as an economical instrument just like silver, platinum and gold. Ethereum is just a tools folks. If it will make 20x in the long term, this won't be before 2030, I guess.

Ethereum is not like bitcoin anyway.

20x profit? If you are buying ETH right now you will need the market cap to reach 600 billion dollars when the current market cap of all the coins is less than 200 billion dollars, so you are either waiting for some massive pump or you are going to hold for fifty years or a ridiculous long term like that, the truth is that ETH is a good coin but it is not even close to surpass bitcoin.

Ethereum is a potential coin but as of now even the price of bitcoin decrease it will ne still no.1 in the next few years for sure. But maybe ethereum is one of the possible new bitcoin in the future because they have many projects and partners.

    This is not a reason to buy or Hodl btc at all. you are looking on wrong side. BTC is first coin on blockchain  but there is no one good reason to buy or hodl btc anymore. Transaction fee is expensive and so slow. Just think first car. they had no good engine and they were slow. Tell me if you have money would you still use an old car or will you buy a ferrrari or lamborghini ? if you are against capitalism and dont want to buy it i will understand you but this is different. Go to past but not so far like 30 years. everyone had a homephone but who use them now ? we all have super smartphones, why ? cuz they are so fast and with good technology. Even we dont use our smartphones for calls or messages. why ? cuz there are whatsapp, telegram and other apps , they are cheap and fast . you just need internet even they use kb , so cheap.
   Its same all time. Something come to our daily life , than we use it and than something new , better , cheaper and faster come so we start to use new thing. You can Hodl btc cuz you wanna make money with it. nothing else. I dont know even if you remember NOKIA, are there still someone have NOKIA ? or wait wait ICQ ? :D

Its time to face to reality. BTC will go down and investors and btc holders will buy ethereum.

Just let you know there is an ICO on 27 Nov. , INS . Softcap is 30k eth and hardcap is 100k eth. People will need eth to invest an ICO but no one need BTC in reality. Go and buy ethereum.

The price target for ethereum is estimated to be $ 1,000 for the year 2018. I don't know if this is a realistic expectation but why not?  I have been keeping Ethereum since the beginning of 2017, I do not sell it. Ethereum isn't the new BTC.  I think, much more advanced technology than BTC,  but BTC is a very popular first.

At least the head of the Ethereum boss. Since it does not have a multi-headed structure, control is only vitalik .

Exactly. ETH is a good coin, no doubt, but saying it will replace BTC is a while another thing. Right now the rivalry between BTC and BCH is causing the drop in price, but I think btc will soon recover from it.

Eth is good after BTC and of course it never replaces Btc. But it will not stop growing because most ICOs use it.
BCH increased so fast that many people hoped for it. But everyone should understand that BCH is not a long-term investment.

It will get limitation in the future or the next year, Vlad already made the paper to give the more explanation about the pos casper which to determined the total supply of the ethereum in the future.
Ethereum will be moving into the pos system. Ethereum was better caused by there is no politician in there just like bitcoin and bitcoin cash or even bitcoin gold.

how it can be ethereum is a new btc? ethereum can be profitable coins beside bitcoin but it can not compared with bitcoin because ethereum is different than bitcoin. maybe we can say that ethereum is a new coins that will be profitable in the long term because ethereum have many benefits too like bitcoin but ethereum can not replace bitcoin.

Ethereum is indead new bitcoin. Bitcoin is big scam and tgere is no value in this currency. I think that soon ethereum will go above bitcoin because bitcoin price will fall and ethereum price will raise.

Yes you are right you can start investing in ethereum for now and hold for long time as it has good scope comparing to other altcoins which are completely not good to use. Ethereum is really increasing in good speed and people are really liking it as it has strong bonding to other ICO's too which are depending on it. So it is the right time for investing in ethereum because now the supply for ethereum is not that much huge than demand.

I don't think ETH will ever replace BTC since they are different in concepts. But in terms of market cap I think it is only matter of time for ETH to outperform BTC. ETH is far more technologically better and still pretend to be decentralized in comparison to all this ASIC-based stuff. One more group of scammy Bitcoin forks and you will see.

That is not accurate. It would be true if coins were generated constantly at an even rate, but that is not true. Coins are generated at a logarithmic decreasing amount, so at some point production of new coins will almost come to a stop. I believe the number of 100m coins, but don't take my word for it, I saw an explanation by Vitalik somewhere.

I think ETH is now due a decent run.  :)

I wouldn't say it's gonna destroy Bitcoin, but Ethereum is fantastic because it has not only been out there for long time as the #2, but also has an actual use (differently from bitcoin) and in terms of usability is better than bitcoin and improving every day thanks to active developer team and side projects.
Wouldn't call Ethereum "The new BTC" but definitely the second best coin out there.

But man, just at the very first sentence you said something against your own argumentation... Yes, Ethereum is an altcoin, and for this reason, it can not overpass Bitcoin as the main crypto-currency and exchanges unit of account. Case closed.

I can say Ethereum is the also the best coin at this very moment it has done a lot of challenges through the years. As we can observe it is still existing and stands firm even there is bitcoin. Yes, Ethereum I can say it is the second one of bitcoin but it cannot be the new BTC.

In terms of market cap it might overtake bitcoin, later on. However, the public is yet to realize that Ethereum is better than Bitcoin, due to the fact that bitcoin is seen as the founder of cryptocurrency.
However, I totally agree with the fact that it is not the new BTC yet in the current stage.

Ethereum shows good signals to buy right now in my opinion. I am wondering if we are going to see 2x in its price similar to bitcoin or bitcoin cash. It might happen really.

I agree ETH is a good coin and has battled and is now worth something, but it cannot replace bitcoin ever because bitcoin is still the best coin for many people and for me as well.

ETH will surely rise in the future because many coins are based on it so it will have no problem having support.

As of now Ethereum is on top two spot again with a total market capitalization of $30 billion dollars. I think Ethereum will not be the new bitcoin so far, but who knows in the future.  ;D

this is another currency and a smart contract, why compare different? ???

Ethereum seems safe. but i don't think of it as a new BTC. BTC is different and valuable
it doesn't disappear easily and doesn't lose the throne  :)

I wouldn't want to compare BTC to ETH because both have unique features. The thing is, BTC has gained and cover more grounds than ETH which is why it's accepted widespread and has more value of course. ETH which we all know to possess indispensable features like its blockchain, its decentralized exchange. Those features of ETH are integral parts of most alts so given this, ETH anchors so many coins therefore without a doubt ETH is just getting started, we'd see the moon behind it soonest. BTC equally has potentials still, after the fork issue and all other controversies are settled things would come back to normalcy.

If there must be a coin to be new BTC, i would rather think its BCH, Eth is a great coin which should not be in the shadow of bitcoin, it has another way to become the king of blockchain world

I don't think BCH will replace of Bitcoin but i think even bch is more usefull than btc rigth now. BCH has big supporter as Roger Ver and Jihan Wu , both have a lot btc and of course Bch as well. They manuplated market like insane but i dont think they can not do this forever, it will end. The War between BTC and BCH will end soon and Ethereum will win this war. Look the all posts, comments mostly are agree that Eth is most powerfull, usefull, cheap and fast coin on market.

Ethereum is the best alt coin for sure but i'm not sure if it will ever reach to level bitcoin reached. Bitcoin is kinda unmatched in todays crypto world.

Ethereum is different thing. Itcoin is like a gold in real life and ethereum created to do an ico or something what need smart contract. Ethereum will always be the second choiche for the store of valued. The coin it self mature in fast l. Only 3 years and its look stable. Maybe because there are a lot of new project every day so it could make the supply and demand equal. No body knows if ethereum ia bubble or not. For me even if it is bubble it is still in a poaitive bubble.
