Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys,
I have a question that i guess most of you are asking. What's after Ethereum?

I mean, back in the day we had MIRC, ICQ, Hi5, MSN messenger...etc and then came Facebook.
Yahoo to be wiped over by google, Apple and Samsung wiping Nokia.. you get the drift.

A platform where everything maybe in 10 years will be built upon. Ethereum will be there but it'll be the ancestor of Dapps blockchain platforms.

What do you think will be next big thing? (Too bad we don't have a time machine!)

there are so many potential coins that maybe will over run the biggest coin today they have their specific specs and uses  so if the coin is decentralized it will line under the bitcoin division. like for your example yahoo search over run by google search but it took years and years before that happened. too bad you if you have time machine you will use it too see what is going to become next big thing  maybe you can use it to buy more enough bitcoin from the past too support your future..       

Maybe it's not years. The ether network is not ready for heavy loads. Already there are similar platforms.

EOS!

Let the time answer it mate, i just hope there will be coin with cheap fee and fast transaction also good project happend behind that coin. Bitcoin is nice investment but expensive fee and long transaction time make ethereum chosen over it. and now eth it self look like having bunch of pending transaction and fee slowly icrease. so i hope outthere a coin with a great price but have cheap fee and fast transaction ( to good to be true, but daydreaming its fine tho)

That would really be a difficult one to answer at this point in time. Take a look at the market and see lots of coin trying to compete for the same spot and trying to give so many reasons why they can do better. No one can see the future and even before Apple and Samsung wiped out Nokia, no one saw it before it happened. I am sure a lot of projects and company, which in this case includes Ethereum have learned not to ever stay in their comfort zones and do everything possible to stay on top because that itself is an edge. If peradventure, Ethereum gets thrown from the spot, no one can state at this point which of the coin, or maybe a new coin that is not even out yet will take that spot.

What do you think will dominate? Perhaps something no one heard of it? As ironic as it sounds i think the NEO train is leaving already. Maybe NXT? How about UBIQ? EOS sounds interesting but it is not independent - if i understood correctly - It's an ERC20 built upon Ethereum. Maybe Qtum? or maybe something else that's being developed now as we speak and no one heard of it yet? Anything on mind?

I think with so many tokens and services eth network is already providing it will be hard to replace them, they have the most number of active developers working to make it even better and introduce new features, i think eth will be there, it will even grow stronger.

ZRX, EOS

Don't get me wrong - I'm investing in Ethereum and most of the top 20 coins by marketcap because from a business development standpoint; cryptos and blockchain as a concept is still in the very early stages of unleashing its full potential. The average Joe in the supermarket wouldn't know the difference between ADA and NEO for example. he will maybe recognizes Bitcoin.
But; back in the day when Ethereum launched; only the early adopters who had a vision are reaping the fruit of their investment today in millions if not billions. same thing with bitcoin back in 09 or 10.

I was busy with Forex trading back in 09 and completely missed the bitcoin train. :S

Nowadays as everyone is busy with Ethereum, Altcoins, ICOs...etc; I think something else is being brewed that will overtake everything in 5 or 7 years. It's the cycle of evolution and i'm just wondering what is it?

Anyone has ideas?

A competitor would be Cardano (https://coincodex.com/crypto/cardano/). And a nice addition to Ethereum network would be ZRX (https://coincodex.com/crypto/0x/).

I dont see any altcoins will be as good as Ethereum. lets hope this year will have a coin as good as ethereum appear!

Just to name a few: EOS (they are already ahead ot roadmap), Tezos (in case they manage to solve internal problems), NEO (we will see a lot of ICO on this platform in near future, plus they will become a huge player on a Chinese market). Also the next big thing can be a platform which is capable of connecting different blockchains e.g. ICON.

Safe to say that there will probably be many more chains, both related and unrelated to Ethereum. They can each learn from one another. Still unclear what will completely dominate or deprecate.

My two pence.

if you know the Credits Blockchain project that is currently being held ICO, maybe you will be interested in the features of the feature offered.
Credits Blockchain also has Smart Contract with a more complete service than Ethereum

I think it is difficult to predict what will come after ethereum because ethereum, blockchain is still very new. The que is what ethereum will bring next??

In cyrpto, Waves will be next big! I think that with the establishment of a smart contract structure, Waves will soon be among the elders.

maybe the closer to the etherum is cardona. so far I have never really learned about cardona. but I've read in an article, that cardona will be an etherum competitor.

There's too many altcoins out there that may take the lead and be the "next ETH." Its still a question on which coin will be more profitable and at the same time be able to provide reasonable fees for every transactions.

Maybe eos because i've read that people call it ethereum killer. I don't own it yet and haven't read into it so i don't know what it's going to do but there's a lot of other smart contract platform like neo, universa, etc. The one that makes it better and do their marketing right will certainly be the next ethereum.

After Ethereum, I do not think it's possible to waves. Because there is more dominant than waves. Examples such as Litecoin. Litecoin is very rapidly developing. Maybe Litecoin is one of the coins after ethereum that can compete.

now CREDITS is still a baby in the stomach, can not be expected as a platform that will really stand up, all ICO come with romantic  Whitepaper, but not a few of them run away when the funds from investors collected.
I appreciate more if indeed CREDITS BLOCKCHAIN will replace Ethereum with a transaction speed of 0.001 seconds

Very good question actually. Etereum is the most important alt coin now in many aspects but it’s not ready to work under millions of processes. It’s network failed the test in cryptokitties. I heard people are calling eos ethereum killer. Also waves is a great project with so much potential.

I have looked at this problem from the other side. Why are you asking about a different coin. Maybe in 5-7 years there will be Ethereum 2.0 or 5.0. It is the Ethereum, but with greater capacity and better potential. I think this is a project with a great future. Several decades for sure.

If there is such a coin, this coin should be in the coinmarketcap bottom row.popular coins can not make * 1000 earnings like ethereum.

There are many coins which can be replaced if you want to investment in that rather then ethereum which are Dash, Monero, NEM as all three are also established coins like ethereum and in top 10 rank.

I agree that the next big thing will be the platform everything is built on. Ethereum will be the first mover, but I have a big feeling one of the other competitors will take the center stage. But this will not happen quickly, or easily. What do we have already? Waves (ng), the fastest blockchain around. Stratis even. So with all these platform coins, they need projects to be launched on them. But what if the Ethereum projects start to fail after a couple of years? Will platforms be abandoned for a while?

ZRX is pretty impressive! EOS should grow massively as well after June

Ethereum with many dapp been deployed o the network. ether will keep increasing in value because those dapp use Gas for their transaction. Today there over 1k plus dapp running on ether network with many more to come onboard

EOS is supposed to be independent after launch, now it is an ERC20 for carrying out token sale.
The numbers in terms of daily investments are (if true) quite impressive...could be next big thing

maybe for now it is starting to rise but most important is to hold the price so as not to fall.

What do you guys think about ICOn (ICX) ?

Nobody can guess which coin will be profitable or successful in their technology. In that topic who write X coin, Y coin these comments are not good for look them and invest at this coin. These comments are just ''idea'' of commenter.

I think ICX, NEO and ADA! All are promising projects and 2018 got many things for them, take a look on their future projects for this year and think about it

I'm not sure but based on the website I often follow (for example coinmarketcap). I think they are BitcoinCash, Dash, and Ripple  ;D

Ethereum is popular nowadays. And most of the projects here use eth as a medium of exchange.
It is also true that nothing is permanet. Though most of the coins here have different specialties but i believe they were made to compete with one another and one of them will really dominate and rise above all. So for the question 'which coin?',  lets just wait with the future because there are lots of coins that have potential to be great like ripple.

Ethereum is pioneer of alt coins. It still has a lot to do before it pass the torch to another alt coin. Ethereum is going be much better soon if it strengthens it’s network.

I also think that the ETH will continue to develop. ETH can solve all the problems with scaling the network and providing a huge number of payments. In this case, it will remain TOP-1 altcoin. And I even think that in 2018 it will become the TOP-1 among all the Crypto-currencies.

I'm not sure about replacing Ethereum but I think that EOS (if all goes well) could out perform Eth if it does what it's meant to. A few people I know are also touting ADA.  Only time will tell though

It is hard to predict because we have so many potential coins after ETH!!

I think it's too early to say. I think the competitive advantage ETH has over most altcoins is its tech. So, ETH will definitely be around for some time in the future and I don't think the one altcoin that will surpass ETH is out yet.

Yeah,it is possible that some coin will surpass the value of ethereum or bitcoin in future if it had the great demand.Because the price of bitcoin is determined by the supply and demand.But it will be hard to get that demand already ethereum reached the many people but other altcoin needs years to get recognized by people.

Hi! IMHO Etherium has not yet fully exhausted its potential. Most likely, the future of the development of the user API.

I think that there will surely be something new and interesting. Time goes the technology develop and change. And now besides the Etherium there are interesting coins in which there is potential.

I think Ethereum is going very good and it is really hard to guess the best altcoin after ethereum. I think the coins which have good potentials are: IOTA, Waves and Monero.

The "next thing" after Ethereum will be Ethereum version 2. ETH being more than just a programming platform is so encompassing that literally almost anything can be built on it. If there will be anything further, it will be based on Ethereum's original design and will continue its legacy. All the other coins seem to be profit oriented but ETH was designed with a specific purpose. I am very optimistic ETH will last.

Why Ethereum is better than BTC?
What kind of improvement you think may Ethereum need to change?
you may find the answer once you take serious about these two answer

There are already more than a thousand cryptocurrencies right now. And of these numbers, hundreds are also added in a few months duration. This will become more complicated as soon as the more advanced versions of the present cryptocurrencies will be offered in the market. There will be many more options and alternatives in the comings months and eventually the best cryptos in the market today will become obsolete. But for now, Ethereum is still the ruling coin in the alternate cryptocurrencies.

we will never know what will happen next, basically the development of digital technology is always increasing rapidly. all always have a replacement and a revolution. that's why I'm sure, the future of crypto will continue even more terrible start now and the future.

as they say, we'll see in time what will happen, but for now let's enjoy what's happening now, we live in amazing time! Ethereum can become international currency.

After Ethereum it will be  Ethereum 2.0 as Vitalik says
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/ethereum-killer-ethereum-20-vitalik-buterins-roadmap/
Maybe he's right. All competitors while very far from ETH. and soon will be casper

You should definetely check out ArcBlock it is a new ico it can be blockchain 3.0. You can also look at the PoA which can be also competitor to ethereum, with it proof of consensus algorithm!

Cardano have huge future for now but we will wait for full potential of it, ETN if mobile mining start as imagine

I think it will take a lot for someone to bump off Ethereum, but lots of competition round the corner, right?

Cardano seems a little too overhyped to me.

I think a lot of good potential coins today, but to predict what coins after etherum is very difficult and need accurate accuracy and see the development of the market every time. because eth is currently still one of the coins with the strongest position in cryptocurrency we can trust eth will have potential

There are lots of coins in the market that has a lot of potential and can grow big in an instant. But, in my own opinion, I am thinking of Litecoin and NEO. These are good coin and who knows, it may even surpass ethereum in the future. However, as of the moment, let us first enjoy the advantage given by eth and maybe, just maybe, it might fly us to the moon, soon.

I did a bit of a research today, I came to the below list in no order. (Excluding Ethereum for sure)

Cardano
Icon
Komodo
NXT
UBIQ
EOS
Credits
NEO
Qtum
ArkBlock
Aeternity
ARK
NEM
Stratis
Lisk
Waves
Particl
Tezos <-- Hopefully


It's kinda tough, but If you have to choose ONLY 1 Star in 2018 - What's your pick?

I choose Arcblock. Concept: each team creates its own crypt, which is incompatible with the other, led to the fact that in the world over 1500 cryptocurrencies and what to do with them misunderstood. Stands out against this background, neo and ether, as they have a universal platform. The logical continuation is the concept of arcblock, which will allow you to connect popular blackany and will be more user friendly for the user

i got your point about etherium, but for me at the moment i still believe in progress of etherium
this vitalik will do anything he can to make this coin keep growing
i hope any new upgrade to the blockchain, it need lighning transaction and lower fee

no ETN?

Well, as you must know - the Etherium is not perfect, it has many shortcomings. For example, if an error occurs in some part of the system, everyone will suffer. Because of this, there are risks. And if a coin appears that will be the same as the Etherium, and can fix all its shortcomings, it can easily replace it in the future.

I don’t say after ethereum but competing with ethereum neo blockchain btechnology and platform attracting more chinese investors for token created using neo blovkchain. Nem/xem and waves are good option.

I think: after Ethereum is Ethereum, because this project is working so well, if they can protect their platform from CryptoKitties!
If they can, will appear another blockchain technologies, which is called Blockchain 3.0, example: Universa (200k pts), Lineage (239k pts), CREDITS (1M tps) or ArcBlock (?). I love Vitalik Buterin but i think he need to have a big step in Ethereum technology.

ADA is the next big thing!

And that there are few coins or you think that after the Ethereum in general, everything will collapse. Well, I'll say that about this worry is definitely not worthwhile while the blokchain system is alive and there are alternative ways for investments.

Hello! I think that after the etherium there will be Universa with its blockchain platform of the 3rd generation. I advise you to read this year's launch of the platform.
universa.io

We seem to have many pretenders to the throne of ETH already. Of those who immediately comes to mind - NEO, EOS, ICON. Who of them will win, or will it be a completly new, currently unknown project - we will see in the near future.

Many people say that this will be EoS, but recently it's a lot of new platforms, so I think that the future of blockchain platforms will be multifaceted.

It's really hard to say because, for example, no one really know about Facebook until it was too late and taking over myspace. So, it will be really interesting to see a new crypto pop out of nowhere and suddenly take over ETH.

I think ethereum is best one except that next is NEO and ADA. I think these both are increasing more next to ethereum.

With the growing market of cryptos it is hard to tell which will go next in fact its really unpredictable to tell which coins will pump and appreciate that much. Some coins are very promising like NEM or EoS while some might be silent and unknown today but will surprise us when suddenly pump and hit the market but whatever happens I always wish that cryptos will remain appreciate and succesful in the future

This question goes under the assumption that Ethereum is stagnant and has no plans for growth. The Ethereum killer will be Ethereum. When PoS, sharding and tight coupling come into play it will revolutionize the Ethereum network. Your metaphor is a little flawed because you are comparing an application to a protocol, however, some companies grew adapted and are still the top of the market today, think of Ethereum as amazon. Amazon today is almost unrecognizable to that in 1996.

I'd bet on any coin project designed to offer PR expertise to other coi networks after ICO.
Just like exchanges, PR is one major need that will grow in crypto as companies become liquid very early thus need to better communicate, avoid haters and fudster. The future is hard to predict though

You guys should check out Xtrabytes. Block chain 3.0, aiming for 10,000tps, code agnostic Dapps, data storage, DEX and chat. In testing now. Cheap at the moment with the current downturn.

IOTA.

It has zero transaction fees, and the network gets faster the more people use it.

People that make coins like those are working with Blockchain programs that will help orginal coins grow. We will see better coins later.

I think most likely will come a new generation of blockchain technology. It will make a revolution in the digital economy and in the world. I think that things will develop more quickly.
