Will BTC be replaced from ETH in future? Because as of current crypto market, demand for the ETH is higher than BTC due to various kind of ICO projects.

With use? No. BTC and ETH have different applications. I won't see how Ether would replace BTC technically.
Market cap? Possible. ICOs have been one factor in Ethereum's growth. With more and more ICOs coming and with BTC's technolocigal advancement slowing down, we could see it happen.

I think btc will win if this will happen but we are capable as humans to compare one thing to another that is why there is this question, but for me the answer is btc will always win.

I think many people still prefer Ethereum, because it grows faster and only ranks second after bitcoin, with bitcoin of high transaction costs and high current prices so I see them going down.

Both are different in application and there is no possibility of Eth to replace btc in near future. However price wise you can't predict anything in the crypto world.

It will not be replaced since the applications of bitcoins is almost limitless. They will still both develop with synchronization to grow the world of cryprocurrency. Also, bitcoin as of today is still very popular so it still proves itself as a good digital money.

Honestly I really like both, however, from a general point of view, Bitcoin and Ethereum differ in purpose.

While Bitcoin is created as an alternative to regular money and is thus a medium of payment transaction and store of value, Ethereum is developed as a platform which facilitates peer-to-peer contracts and applications via its own currency vehicle.

While Bitcoin and Ether are both digital currencies, the primary purpose of Ether is not to establish itself as a payment alternative (unlike Bitcoin) but to facilitate and monetize the working of Ethereum to enable developers to build and run distributed applications (ĐApps).

I think most people that missed out on BTC mega rally are now into Ethereum hoping to see thesame rally like that of BTC, but the main issue with BTC is the transaction fee which must be looked into very fast, let's see what Lighing network has to offer in coming month

I prefer bitcoin because I think bitcoin is more popular and also bitcoin has many nice features and one of them is bitcoin has the features of security.

maybe, but we'll never know before it actually happens. there are many opportunities for other altcoins to compete with bitcoin. but anyway, bitcoin still remains the king of all the crypto that exists.

At the moment both are tanking because of all the FUD, clockchain congestion and S Koreans saying they are going to ban crypto trading in their country, so for now they are both in the red. Maybe it is better to buy up some coins that really tanked hard so they will rebound and earn you bigger profits. Bitcoin is steadily going in decline now and if the 12k Support line breaks, we will see Bitcoin going into single digits again. Ethereum had a big rise lately so maybe still usable for some ICOS.

No, I don't think its possible. The bitcoin will and should still remain as the king of them all. Bitcoin is a very important piece of keeping the cryptocurrency stable and popular.

For me I will choose Ethereum over bitcoin it takes more years to surpass bitcoin.

bitcoin is the currency of cryptocurrency who very promising and we can see the price bitcoin in this years more increase from the previous year.
of course bitcoin wins in every way ie the price is much higher than Ethereum. bitcoin will always be the best in the crypto world.
although many types of ICO are paying through ETH, but Bitcoin keep winning from ethreum.

Bitcoin has been accepted widely as an intermediary currency for other cryptocurencies,
while ethereum to be used for smart contract.
I think these two coins will continue to be used in parallel and support each other.

Maybe I'll tell from some aspects and point of view. The development of Bitcoin prices is definitely better and far more powerful than Ethereum. And the price is so amazing, therefore if you have a lot of capital you should invest into Bitcoin because it is definitely profitable. But at this time Ethereum have an important role because Bitcoin fee is now very large and it makes it difficult for people to transactions. People will choose Ethereum for small amounts of transactions, so I say above to use big capital if you want to invest in Bitcoin. For those who have a small capital may be able to try Ethereum.

For me eth will have a very big chance to double and triple its value in a short span of time but will never be able to beat bitcoin.. but everything is possible in the near future.

I think you cannot compare them both. The two is very important in the cryptomarket Bitcoin serves as the pillar which investors rely on, while ETH stands beside to give easier transactions to the investor.

I think this year 2018 is the year of ETH, with many ico's projects, causing the market demand for eth keep increasing. Of the many projects that are not successful and successful entry into the market, so people now tend to invest in the project and gamble get a big profit or loss if the project fails or scam.

Bitcoin is bitcoin it is different from altcoins and ethereum is an altcoin, its impossible that ethereum can overtake altcoin that's not really happen.
The fluctuation of bitcoin now is being natural of cryptocurrency because of being volatility bitcoin moves up and down price.
There are so many reason why bitcoin now dump in price and ethereum rising up, some ICO's project are accepting ethereum in investment that's the reason now why ethereum pump up but in the end bitcoin will win.

Btc and eth had different uses,  like for example many of us (investors) are already meet first the bitcoin,  so more exchange are reliable in bitcoin even though bitcoin now has some issue like transactions fee and network speed. The first thing now is the issue of bitcoin so many of them are switch to eth.  But sooner after bitcoin implement its lightning speed network,  it will back to normal.

You was so lazy that you couldn't come up with some new idea, to add something more to your comment. You just wrote the same question that is asked so many times on this forum. One more time there isn't btc vs eth, and I don't know why people repeat that all the time, what is so special about eth that can make people abandon bitcoin and buy ethereum? Same is in opposite direction, why would anyone sell ethereum that is platform to buy more bitcoins? Why to do such things when you can have it both and be secured from two sides?
Please stop spreading spam around the forum, one more newbie with nothing new to offers, that how stupid some people are, at least this newbie could make some effort and wrote some new question.

As of now ethereum keeps increasing its price better than bitcoin. Because of some reason,  after its record breaking value of over $19000, it now dumps to over $14000 that for some reason gives ETH opportunity to increase its price because of its increasing demand in the market and this gives reason to people to think that ETH might beat BTC in the near future which we can't consider impossible, but for me, i think it would take many years for it to happen. Bitcoin might dump for now, but surely it will pump and may skyrocket just like what happen in the past few months.

At present, bitcoin is still king. It's hard to predict in the future what coin will replace bitcoin because there are many good coin developing recently like ETH dash. LTC. great number of. I think the future is not far away. BTC will be ranked No. 1 at present

I think the answer to this question will still be Bitcoin. Because I believe that bitcoin is the father of all this crypto world. So do not write it off, I think in the near future the BitcoinCore team will be able to integrate Lightning into the main bitcoin network.

I better choose ETH because ETH has a potential to surpass BTC. But I think it will take a very long time to ETH to surpass the BTC.

I prefer with ethereum, Ethereum now has many investors and supporters.They grow faster and ethereum is the competitor of bitcoin.

Good point. I agree with you here. So many people are underestimating bitcoin even after its recent price surge which honestly baffles me. Look at how far it has come($0.2 to $20k) which is seriously mind-boggling and it is not done here. As you said, once the developers integrate lightning into the bitcoin network, its value will skyrocket to a whole new range and the transactions speed will obviously skyrocket too making it much more valuable in the long run when compared to Ethereum. HODL those bitcoins for insane profits in the long run.

I think that eth will not replace btc. But, the rate eth shows that this crypto currency has good prospects.

ETH and BTC, no coin can replace each other. They are different things

Within a few years ETH could exceed BTC we are in terms of capitalization than for general use. Vitalik Buterin and his team are doing a great job and their popularity grows every day

I think OP is talking about the ranking on the Coinmarketcap but yes this 2 coins are different from each other and nobody can replace the other, I really think that Ethereum was doing a great job in gaining more market cap and almost catching up with bitcoin even though the price of bitcoin exceeds the ETH price, But yes this is the 2 leading Cryptos that you can surely make an investment that will profit.

BTC will be the winner of cryptocurrency but ETH is different .
ETH can make a new smart contrack for Investment.
but ETH can send token more one address except previously made the list fixed according to procedures in white paper.

If we talk about the future, it is possible that the price of BTC is higher than ETH. It is because the price coin in cryptocurrency is fluctuative, sometimes increase and another time will be decrease :)

could be, but not in the near future. a lot of demand and a limited amount of bitcoin in the market makes the value of bitcoin rise very drastically. actually etherum can, the market demand of etherum in the market is also large, but the amount is not limited. that's what keeps the etherum up not yet like a bitcoin at the moment. maybe the next 2-3 years.

It will and it must. Imagine you are sending your transaction that cost you around $25 for a single transaction if you are using bitcoin blockchain and then if you are moving toward ethereum and it will cost you around $2.
But for the actual payment ethereum should become the first and then bitcoin will be the second.  ::) People are more familiar to ethereum platform.

Nope and never. In all aspects BTC is still the King. Eth will just follow Btc that's all. Thank you.

I am sure that this year or next year ETH will overtake the BTC, it is more popular and more accessible!

Both Bitcoin and Ethereum are used for different purpose so I don’t see anyway to compare the features.

In term of prices and market cap, I don’t think Ethereum is able to overtake Bitcoin for the next few years.

I think in this two months Ethereum will reach to Bitcoin also will pass it but after that Bitcoin will have one big pump that will go to far from Ethereum and other altcoins.

BTC (no way)

it is hard to confess the future and the present
but may not be compared because they both give the people a constant use of the campaign or bounty
but
Currently, the market cap of Ether (ETH) is more than Ripple and Litecoin although it's far behind Bitcoin (BTC). On the whole, Bitcoin and Ethereum are different versions using the blockchain technology, and are set to establish themselves, driven by different intentions.
Over these years, the acceptance of the concept of a virtual currency has increased among regulators and government bodies. Although it isn’t a formally recognized medium of payment or store of value, it has managed a niche for itself and continues to coexist in the financial system despite being regularly scrutinized and debated.

No.But it will happen to some extent.. But not entirly. Remember BTC and Eth are fundamentally different and unique. Eth is Coin as well as a platform.. :) :) :) :) :)

It's an interesting question. After the christmas dip in the markets Ether has been going up and up where as Bitcoin is holding relativly steady. Which shows which of them has got the public's attention right now. But I think that Bitcoin will hold it's value well and has a great potential to go up. Ether is great and very versitile. I think they compliment each other quite well, which is why I've invested in both of them.

I think Ethereum will be very close to Bitcoin in next months it ll be very fun to see their war between them. Next months we ll enjoy this battle.

Well i don't think that ethereum will overtake bitcoin in terms of price and marketcap because ethereum has a lot of issues than bitcoin and also the problem with ethereum is you can make yourself a token with erc20 contract s easily so, scammers and lazy devs will create a token and ICO it for money. Maybe someday in future bitcoin will obselete and overtake with another coin just like yahoo and google.

None of the time it will not happen bro. Many of the people expecting due to upcoming bump on the ethereum dude. Since we find the growth in ETH alone you may think like that. But in future or upcoming days you will find the value recovered in the bitcoin's overall price chart. Erc20 tokens shows promising growth for ethereum still bitcoin will be ahead of all the Cryptos at any time.

Does not work etherscan.io. They have evil networks. I think they will fix it soon. myetherwallet works in normal mode.

Such a situation once was when the ethereum almost overtook bitcoin, but this did not happen. So I think that bitcoin will always be the first

2018 is the year of the etherium. Too many projects on this block, so he can not help but grow.

In the future, there will be other blockchains that will curb the broadcast, for example Arcblock.

Nevertheless, in the portfolio you need to keep both the ether and bitcoin, and both will grow well in the future, changing periodically with another friend.

I think ETH will replace BTC as highest market cap this year, but both will continue to coexist.

That is saying a lot, but I do believe that the value of the ethereum is going to be very close to that of bitcoin.

i think that ethereum demand it getting more and more demanded in the crypto market though i think that bitcoin still genuine coin and it is the one that is controlling the price of all other alts including ether it self.

The question is very topical at the moment. But these are completely different two things, with different functional purposes. I do not think that they should be compared and the more they should not compete - they have different tasks in the crypto world

Well, if talk about the market capitalisation ethereum can replace Bitcoin in the nearest future in terms of market capitalisation but in terms of technology i don't see it happen. I agree with you that the demand for ethereum is increasing day after day which could be attributed to high fees in Bitcoin transactions.

indeed for now the market movement is very focused on the ETH than BTC, but we can not doubt the specifications owned by BTC as a coin that has a very large value from the first until now.
Because if BTC is used from any existing project then the consideration is a very large fee, then that is used ETH, because the fee is not too large compared to BTC.

Bitcoin will rise and shine again when Lightning network is implmemented. Until then I will stick with Ethereum.

Well if you are asking me to choose between BTC and ETH then of course I would choose BTC because it is very obvious that everybody wants BTC rather than ETH which is just a 2nd placer to BTC, this is what I can tell from the question that you are asking because BTC has a very high market value compared to all of those crypto currency out there, ETH on the other hand was being replaced on the 2nd spot by ripple and now ETH was able to get back on the 2nd place again but I think it could never replaced the BTC which is on the 1st place.

As I said earlier, there is no sense in this comparison, because Bitcoin will be our main cumulative tool, and ether is a platform on which it is so wonderful to build various projects.

 I also forsee this because ETH has all the potential to overtake bitcoin in the future.

In my opinion, bitcoin will become something like digital gold. At least in the next couple of years it will remain the main repository of value in the cryptoworld. On the other hand the ETH can be replaced by a newer modern competitor such as Neo, ArcBloc, Icon, EOS.

I don't think so, Ethereum maybe be very valuable these days but not enough to replace bitcoin in the market besides above all bitcoin is consider to be the father of all cryptos and ethereum is just an alts. It is expected that soon bitcoin value can actually hit $50000 and I don't think ethereum or even any other alts can beat that. Bitcoin marks the history of cryptos and prove to be the most trusted crupto currency

In some ways it can high by btc like in price and in exchanger but more good to think are they both good to have and don't think nothing like eth is high than btc because they give both conveniece in many users in different ways and still the problem in eth is the support of exchanger in fiat because they think it in many times like almost year by now so they have problem in that.I think in the future eth can be like btc but for now we need to be content to what it can give to us.

I don't think so since ETH is not rising so much in terms of price. ETH does have a good technology and a great platform which is being used by many industries but it as a currency is not making as much progress as it should. It will definitely be an alternative to BTC and the second best coin but it will not be able to defeat BTC. Althoug it is making a good progress now but it is highly doubtful whether it will be able to sustain the growth and make more progress in the coming days.

I don't think so because bitcoin has a huge supply and marketcap. Eth is like a compatible wallet for storing erc20 tokens from ICO so this not conclude that ETH is in demand for market thing.
This may come to truth when atomic swap will happens to what I have read in some article.

I think it is very unlikely that eth can surpass btc because btc is the number one coin in the crypto world or the largest in crypto, it has recently been the price of eth has increased rapidly, so the subject of discussion is btc fixed number one .

Indeed now the higher the price of ETH and many who use it, but I think ETH will not replace bitcoin.because bitcoin is the first coin and remains the best of any coin, ETH will remain the best altcoin.

Eth much better than btc.

Countries are planning more stringent regulations on ICO, so ICO will be regulated and the price of ETH will start to fall, and countries will gradually start to accept BTC, so the price of BTC will rise.

This is a good speculation and I strongly believe that this will happen, countries that are new to cryptocurrency will prefer to use bitcoin than any other altcoin because its name is established and the value may rise instantly anytime from now.

Similar thread has been posted here and it is being said that both differs in its applicability, apart that everything is based on competition, if more of ETH is demanded this not diminish BTC use.

I don't trust btc anymore. I have a transaction which is unconfirmed past 1 month . This is why i don't like to invest in btc anymore. Infact I even started searching for bounty Campaigns instead of btc signature Campaigns. I am pretty sure that ETH will surpass Bitcoin one day and that day is not far . I still remember that my friend had told me to buy few ETH's when the price of 1 eth was 11 USD

Please, you must try to check your transaction status if you have put around 0.0000001 btc for your transaction and that will never be confirmed. But from the technical preview and your amount must back to your account.
But ethereum is only the one can compete with bitcoin right now. Ripple becomes the second option for that.

i think this is can't be true. maybe in market ETH and BTC like a rival. the price is so high and stable. but as we know bitcoin is a trusted crypto currency and ETH like a follower. so maybe bitcoin can't be replace by any coins. many coins show up this day. and is because of bitcoin they want to follow bitcoin to be a success digital currency.

A lot of altcoin say that they can beat Bitcoin or have better features than Bitcoin, and I believe some of them will actually surpass Bitcoin, given that what they offer are not for the purpose of scamming investors. Bitcoin has honestly gotten slow and expensive which has resulted in many people turning their backs on it and looking for an alternative.

Not at all because they have their own features. Ethereum can only replace Bitcoin on coinmarketcap but not its  value because bitcoin has a very limited supply than Ethereum.

no eth will not replaced to BTC. because BTC price is more and mainly adoption on BTC is more BTC will never replaced to eth

if bitcoin remains problematic and transaction delay and high transaction value. probably will be replaced by eth. yes, the end of this is a lot of complaints for all transactions and cost issues on bitcoin.

bitcoin is already on its peak but now i can see ETH is gaining market share. That's can be the reason why bitcoin is not increasing. But 1 thing we can't forget that all we know at first place is bitcoin.

All I see is a great future for ETH because the way ico token are adopting is very strong. Btc is a great and it will continue to be.

Bitcoin will only be replaced by ethereum if it will be banned worldwide but I do not see any reason for ethereum to overcome bitcoin just for ICOs, yet, bitcoin is much more famous.

The BTC have a good command, plus the circulation of the tokens is small, I think that the ether will grow in 2018 to $ 5000 and the BTC to 7000$.

Ethereum not will be more valuable than bitcoin because ETH it's not a payment solution.

Without doubt BTC is still the best compared to eth, and there are a lot of reference to back this up like the market value charts and cryptocurrency rankings. Aside from that we are well aware that bitcoin is much more acceptable than eth and is preferred by more investors.

I use both coins and it seems to me that they complement each other. These are not competitors. I use the ETH to make quick payments and the most of my assets I keep in bitcoin. This is one of the most convenient and safe assets imo.

Bitcoin is a payment system that is digitalized and free from central or government regulation. And while  Ethereum does share these qualities, it’s much more than a payment system

people compare Bitcoin to Ethereum, and although the technology is similar, the goal of each is very different. Bitcoin has proved itself a popular cryptocurrency, but Ethereum is close on its heels (the number two cryptocurrency in the world) and has a much different functionality. while Ethereum provides the ability not only to transact through blockchain technology, but also to create and execute contracts and even generate funding for new projects or startups

Every time I think about it, I'm increasingly beginning to think about saving my investments and funds in the Etherium, because this project is super stable, because in the last half of the year I did not see the ether fall, so I advise everyone to do it make

Vitalik Buterin's quote explains everything: If Bitcoin is gold, Etherium is the oil.

You measure your wealth with gold, everybody likes it and it is more famous. However it has less purpose than oil.

You use oil for almost everything. It is not a wealth measurement thing, but has a real purpose.

Now change above sentences: gold with bitcoin and oil with etherium

Think about all these arab oil rich people. They sell their oil and buy cars and even toilets in gold plate.

 Will in my own opinion ethereum will be hard to catch up the bitcoin.Because the main reason is the investor the second is popularity and te last is the price...it will take many month to catch bitcoin but it will soon...no body knows what in future

We should keep the following idea: Bitcoin is king, in relation to the question under debate, i do not see a rivalry in Bitcoin and Ethereum both have different functions and different meanings in the market. There is considerable distance for Ethereum to overcome Bitcoin, a simple reason, Bitcoin has become a property of heritage, only this reason already the separate it of all currencies

BTC is the King, but ETH is the Queen. You can't say which is more better or not....

The etherium is more promising, I think it will not overtake bitcoin, but I like it more. Soon he will have a division into two networks and the price should grow, I think to buy it

The ether shows very serious results from the beginning of the month, so you can probably conclude that by the summer of this year, the airwaves will cost about $ 5000 per air, well, of course after the integration of Constantinople and after scaling the network, it can even be all $ 10,000

In my opinion Ethereum cannot overtake bitcoin because bitcoin is the first successful cryptocurrency and has less supply than Ethereum. Bitcoin may have a problem today because of high fee and slow network but i believe they will find a solution in that matter.

indeed for now the bitcoin price is higher than the ethereum price, but from the current price increase the ethereum price is higher than the bitcoin, so I think for now ethereum is more winning than bitcoin, and in the future the price of ethereum will follow the bitcoin.

BTC is the main coin . i think it will take a long journey to replace bitcoin.
i guess bitcoin has only 1 available token it is satoshi i think.
Some ICO project use BTC as a conversion for the equivalent token per BTC

In terms of value, eth would approach and reach whatever price that bitcoin achieved last year. Once ethereum reached that 2000 dollars mark, it will start to reach those prices. But in terms of usage, I do not think that ethereum will replace bitcoin's functionalities in the crypto world.

Both Bitcoin and Ethereum are good coins and investment as well. These two have a promising future; their value are both increasing, their popularity are growing. Thus, these two are worth buying.

With all those price changes in both digital currency,  i think its possible that ethereum can reach bitcoin in the future,  although they have different platform but many of now uses ethereum because of those investments in altcoins. Many of them now offers an ico

Between ETH and BTC these two crypto currency are always on the top list of all crypto currencies, BTC being on the top and ETH as the second always at the back of BTC trying to replace BTC on its current position and there was also a time when ETH was being replaced by other crypto currency but it was to rebound and came back at second again. I am quite sure that you'll gonna have a greater profit if you will have both of these two great crypto currencies in your side.

If BTC drops to $8k below probably thats the perfect time for ethereum to rise and overthrone BTC,but if BCash will replace BTC thats very unacceptable.

Ethereum is doing a much better job of weathering the drop in prices today.
Go to https://coinmarketcap.com/ and press the blue button to change the base currency from USD to ETH.
You will see that almost all of the top 100 coins including BTC are down against ETH.

In my opinion, bitcoin has its store/time value (like you buy the antique ceramics) and ETH has the using value (like the daily used ceramic bowl), so they are not conflict. Although I have faith in ETH, it will never replace the first position of BTC.

btc and eth, currencies always go hand in hand. now when the eth price goes down, the btc price also drops very drastically. it seems that these two coins are very competitive to get first place in the cryto

Today we saw  two trends on these 2 coins!
But now they both down. To difficult to forecast what happen next these days :(

they are a lots of altcoin down to the earth,but I think it would raise again

I think Bitcoin is better than Ethereum. Because Bitcoin is the pioneer of this blockchain system and it has become a popular currency along with a profitable platform. Day by day Bitcoin is getting accepted in many countries but Ethereum is still looking young for this virtual platform. so Bitcoin should be given more importance rather than Bitcoin.
But it's true that Ethereum will also be a great platform in this blockchain system so that both currencies should be treated equally. If we can then we will get benefitted in the future.

I think this is not a competition this is  for the people choosing the best cryptocurrency adapted, we are now in a high value of making quick process of any kind of transaction when it comes to processing. Due to select the most Crypto and actually really needs to their selves that's why the current currency now is like a competition. But that's not true    

i prefer both, bitcoin and ethereum have different approach and have always potential to grow. bitcoin is the first so it got more advantage compare to ethereum but as always we can't predict the future and we don't know what would the outcome of bitcoin and ethereum.

Bitcoin is the most oldest crypto currency if we compare with the ethereum. But who knows it may take over bitcoin.but It will take a lot of time. Bitcoin is in the market for a lot of time. Ethereum coin is new to market. To get over bitcoin it needs a lot of time. If we see the price graph of Bitcoin then it will be clear to us that the price is rising day by day that is not in a single day. So for ethereum, it also need a lot of time. Again if we compare the safe crypto currency then it will undoubtedly btc is better than eth. The price of BTC is more than ETH. Again the investment in bitcoin is more comparing with the ETHEREUM

I think It's quite possible. ETH is very stable and grows faster, so it can overcome BTC

I prefer bitcoin, because bitcoin is like a king in crypto coin. so bitcoin must always be ranked first and the price will always increase compared to other coin

Bitcoin is the first one ever but ether is also a promising one. Ether did hit 0.095 BTC level couple of days ago. And then price started to decline as a result of price crash of the market.

It will rise again.

Bitcoin is bitcoin. Bitcoin is the king of all coins. Bitcoin is the pioneer of the blockchain system. Ethereum can never ever replace bitcoin. I highly doubt that such thing will happen in the future. Bitcoin has already proven for so how many years its potential. Its value is keep on pumping and it has a profitable platform.

As the events of this week have shown, that bitcoin is an indicator of the health of the entire crypto market. If bitcoin falls, then almost everything falls. If you hear that bitcoin is old and nobody needs it - it's a lie. And the Ethereum also depends heavily on the bitcoins.

The potential applications of Ethereum are wide ranging and run on its platform-specific cryptographic token, Ether. In 2014, Ethereum had launched a pre-sale for ether which received an overwhelming response. Ether is like a vehicle for moving around on the Ethereum platform and is sought by  developers looking to develop and run applications inside Ethereum.

Bitcoin, the first virtual currency, was born seven years back. It introduced a novel idea set out in a white paper by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto: Bitcoin offers the promise of lower transaction fees than traditional online payment mechanisms and is operated by a decentralized authority, unlike government issued currencies. There are no physical Bitcoins, only balances associated with public and private keys.

I do think ETH will eventually be higher than Bitcoin, but it will take some time.

i think no one will beat bitcoin but i admit the the ethereum is the silver and the bitcoin is gold . the bitcoin achievement cannot be attain easily also the bitcoin is the backbone of all the crypto and i think it is not easy to replace it

Bitcoin's Price Drops Below $10,000 for First Time Since Early December. I think no one cryptocurrency is good currently.

For now bitcoin is still a major coin, but no one knows the future. The possibility of ethereum will be able to replace bitcoin in the future.

Anyway in future Bitcoin can improve his features. Lightning transactions, crosschains, smart contracts... It depends on developers, who will work harder

I don't think anyone of them needs to replace the other to be successful. They can coexist well.

But they both really need some technological advances to keep strong. The first time you get trapped in some freaking pending transaction because of ETH network congestion, or  you try to send a small payment using bitcoin, you'll know what I'm talking about...

Technologically waves is superior to both of them.

It might will be happen if bitcoin crash. Ethereum is really awesome coin so far and have a more function than bitcoin. More and more icos are using ethereum smart contract and some are very successful. So it might a game changing for ether someday.

No, I do not think so. From my point of view, BTC will always be on top of Crypto market as compared to ETH or any other Alt coins.

I think that Bitcoin and Ethereum are two different cryptocurrency but they both became a basis for other cryptocurrency because of their large values. Their values are something to be updated about because if their prices goes down, the prices of the tokens or coins that depends on them also goes down.

lets welcome ETh to the throne before the end of 2018 ::)

ETH won't replace BTC since the two have different application. I think you're talking about the price and perhaps misconstruct the question.
With price alone, I think there's a possibility that eth would surpass bitcoin.

ETH is the new cool kid on the block, but BTC is here to stay.

I prefer to use Bitcoin, all the other altcoins will be only ranked second whenever Bitcoin is mentioned between them.

We should not pit bitcoin and eth because we both need these coins in the crypto world. Even if Ethereum surpasses bitcoin in the future all of us can still benefit from it. I would choose both of them. We need more cryptocurrencies not just bitcoin or eth. As a bounty hunter and investor we need to diversify our coins.

Firstly, you really need to understand that these are totally two different projects and there is a lot that makes them what it is. Sure, Ethereum is a good project, worth holding and have a lot of prospects, but replacing bitcoin, I would not ever see that coming. Bitcoin developers I believe are not slacking and bitcoin will always still have that first movers edge and the fact that it is deflationary compared to ETH, that makes it even better.

It will not be replaced  but I do think both will have their own job to be used as a good crypro.
There will be more out there that will be as the same as Ethereum that will be valued more.
QTUM is already on its way LTC also have done so much.
It aint bad foe people to have options on what they prefer to use.

I don't think so, they are two different platforms with very strong uses. they will both be very strong crytos

Bitcoin has the best and riches investors and share holders, bitcoin is the most popular and known in the cryptocurrency world. Btc has the highest and top grossing value in the chart and history of cryptocurrency, Also Billgates says that btc is ubstoppable, so in that case no one can ever replace btc and Eth is just the second to btc.

technically i dont think that ethereum will replace bitcoin in future, the demand of ethereum is higher than bitcoin because it is very cheaper than bitcoin and constantly increasing.

ETH and BTC is the best coins in the crypto world.
But do not think that ETH can be replaced of bitcoin in the future. you are wrong about that.
total supply of bitcoin is 21 M and ETH is 96 M.
the price of ETH is too hard like Bitcoin.

No, I do not think so…  Bitcoin can not be replaced from Ethereum in future… BTC and ETH are different in application.

These two coins are the main actors of crypto world. Both of them are getting so much attention by our community. I see both ethereum and bitcoin being much more valuable in the future but i think they still be in the same order. Bitcoin leading and eth following it.

Yes, there is a possibility that it might replace bitcoins. As of now, investing in Ethereum can be more profitable than bitcoins as bitcoin's value is not stable and has dropped alot in the past few days. Of course btc's drop affected each and every altcoin but ethereum has started to rise again. Also there are many advantages that Eth has over bitcoin and one of the biggest reasons would be the transaction fee which is very less and transaction gets confirmed pretty fast. Bitcoin is the biggest coin currently but there is a chance that Eth would replace it.

BTC and ETH are two separate coins and they don't do the same thing so i don't see how one will replace the other. Why ETC seems to be in demand is because people want to make so much profit

I think bitcoin is better than ethereum. It have the necessary popularity and price to be the king of the cryptocurrencies.

But on the other hand, we can not underestimate the power and the potential of ethereum. I think it is the best altcoin.

Personally I am on the ETH side but that is just because it is cheaper and I believe it has a bigger future. I would probably feel different if I was around to invest in Bitcoin when it was first introduced.

I'm no expert, but in my opinion ETH more promising currency than bitcoin, because even now it shows a higher transaction speed and lower transaction fees

So if I'll gonna choose between ETH and BTC then I will surely choose BTC because it is the most trusted crypto currency name in the crypto market today and it has the most users and investors today, bitcoin markets value might go down along your investment but it also rebounds to go up again picking up your losses and gaining profits for you at the same time. Bitcoin is the King of Cryptocurrency that's why I would really choose BTC rather than choosing ETH.

I think the future of ETH will completely replace Bitcoin and become the world's most popular currency in the next 20 years. Because most of the altcoin, as well as the ICO projects, use Blockchain 2.0 platform and Token form ERC20 because of the convenience as well as many benefits it brings.

Ethereum and Bitcoin have different scopes of application. But are often used in one strategy in the cryptomarket: get profit on short-term investments in tokens in projects on the Ethereum platform, and transfer the locked profits to bitcoin on long-term and stable investment. The very first cryptocurrency possesses the greatest trust at investors as the Bitcoin has the most decentralized and uncontrollable blockchain

That's impossible. Because bitcoin is considered the eldest of the electronic money market.
