As we see the ethereum price is getting low and low every day. It was same thing happen with the Bitcoin in the past then it has reached where it is right now. Will we see the ethereum competing with bitcoin in the coming one year?

maybe but we will see our market was going to dump very soon.

Ethereum maybe one of the altcoins will be the next step of bitcoin near in the future, ethereum has a good technology and this also now used a coin in ICO's project. Bounty project now is using ethereum as a main currency to purchase their token. But if you think that ethereum will be replaced in bitcoin well, you are wrong all altcoins are depended on bitcoin now.
Now, ethereum is getting too much decreased it is the time to grab the opportunity in the marketcap to full your portfolio.

Thats really hard to say because on the other hand bitcoin prices are also increasing day by day. I mean most of the people will think that bitcoin might just hit the ATH of last year and thus psychologically no one is willing to sell the bitcoin or they are willing to buy it more and more to benefit themselves. However on the other hand Ethereum is dropping and there is some crowd which believes more in ETH who will be buying the ETH too so that its market depth is growing continuously as well. On the long run it feels like we are more into bitcoin and ether might just stay behind in the race the same way as it has done already.

i heard that the Founder says it WILL surpass bitcoin one day

Ethereum can never take over from bitcoin for as long as cryptocurrencies is concern bitcoin will for ever be the king despite the fact that ethereum operates on a more advanced technology it can not take over from bitcoin. Have you notice how bitcoin control the price of other cryptocurrencies e.g when there is a slide fall in the price of bitcoin you will also see other cryptocurrencies price start falling and when the price start rising you will see other cryptocurrencies price start rising also, so bitcoin is the king of all cryptocurrencies.

This isn’t the first time reading such two sided thread about ethereum and it’s price.. Their is something happening as of today,, marketing on eth is working to discredit bitcoin and giving good or too much review on the possibility of ethereum bullish run and replace bitcoin on the first place,, that is purely impossible..

Money can buy anything that reality is what you make it..

So far Bitcoin cash captured that place what you are saying about. They are having the many people in mining this coin bro. When we seeing big bump in the market then we can decide who can capture rank two in price aspects alone.
But in usage and well known to people. This coin ethereum would be always having the next place to bitcoin in the market.

Ethereum is a risky investment, the code is defective and weak and this weakness affect the fundamental value of the coin.This weakness allow hackers to rob money in the contract stage or being held in escrow situations.It is better to invest in the king that the whole world knows that is where you make money with the momentum of the king BTC.

Ethereum is flawed

Even Ethereum got a low price now but wait for the best time. You can follow  the bitcoin market  for your knowledge. It was a high price  but now it's price is low but it not lasting  for long time.  So I think Ethereum will get the same value  after its bad time. Don't  lose your hope for it.

We cann not even compare the patterns of bitcoin from last year to its own on going movement this year because thats just doesn't make any sense. So it would be even harder to compare the patterns of ethereum with the behaviour of the bitcoin from the last years data. Thats just insane because none of the last years factors are repeating themselves this year. As far as I know different external and internal factors matters a lot when we are considering the different follow ups of the bitcoin. So nothing can be compared here and thus it doesn't mean anything when you say that ethereum will take over the prices of bitcoin.

I think the competition between ethereum and bitcoin exists but for the ethereum beat and is considered to be the next bitcoin probably will not happen because the bitcoin enthusiasts and the investors in it already trust the bitcoin with all the bitcoin reputation it wakes up since its appearance. But if to be the closest competitor then ethereum opportunity is to be the best choice for the investors.

Ethereum is a good coin worth investing. With time the price would probably rise.  But I don't think it will reach the price of bitcoin or its popularity. Also, we are talking here on two different concepts that shouldn't be compared.
Many are expecting for som coin like bitcoin to appear again, some think Ethereum could be that another special coin but I don't think that it will happen twice that some coin will reach the value, adoption and popularity like bitcoin.
If you want some diversity and to split your portfolio invest in Ethereum too but don't expect to profit that much like with bitcoin.

Ethereum has shown very good promise by the end of 2017. But it has been very frustrating over the past few weeks. Its price has been dropping continuously and there is not sign that it would recover soon.

ETH will never meet up Bitcoin price. Why because the gap is very far when you check the marketcap you can see the difference the volume also. Bitcoin make be down in price now but I also advice this is an opportunity to buy more because there will be massive profit...few months from now. Don't give in bitcoin is changing the world. But you can get some altcoin to maximize the profit bigger.

yes it's run little by little like the value of btc

All users,traders and investors here save some ethereum now because this can be similar to btc value in the future like the price of it by now then if you think it might happen if you invest now you might earn a lot by investing in ethereum like your investing now will be 7x high or more in the future if you buy now

probably in the next couple of years

I doubt that Ethereum in General will be able to compare with bitcoin after all, bitcoin has been a leader in the cryptocurrency market for 10 years

Ethereum can't .ethereum is decentralized like bitcoin. The next coin that might likely replace bitcoin  is ripple ,ripple has sign many partnership with financial institutions.which makes it centralized . the world is looking for what they can control. And if there any coin that will replace the USD it must be control. Lets see how it goes

Ethereum will never be able to compare with bitcoin but that doesn't mean ethereum won't do well in the future. After bitcoin, the coin more likely to do better is ethereum and there are a lot of investors in the project.

No, Ethereum still has a long road to travel until it becomes next Bitcoin. Moreover there are many advantages which make bitcoin more famous as a currency tending it to be more powerful than any other. Despite showing tremendous progress over the last few months it cannot reach as high as bitcoin because the supply is not limited, hence tends to make price stable.

It's actually a trend that i have followed for a while and that trend is that whenever there is bad news, FUD or publicity in the media against Bitcoins, all the other cryptos suffers as well so it basically means that ETH is falling because BTC is falling.

I think there is no competition between Btc and Eth. Everyone has their own history and future. I think the ETH will increase in 2018.

I've read many times about the competition of this top two digital currency as always I seen ethereum as a good competitor against bitcoin. Bitcoin had proven and doing it best at the top due to the support from the investors and the popularity of Bitcoin. Only the time can tell if ethereum will reach $20k as what bitcoin did.

Tech wise, I believe Eth has the better "product" but we'll see how the adoption keeps going.

I think bitcoin is the first coin that develops with so many investors who support the development of bitcoin.
whereas ethereum is categorized altcoin so it is impossible to exceed the bitcoin price.

Ethereum is totally a different altcoin and it could not be compared with bitcoin.Ethereum is still not known by users widely as bitcoin.More over,every time when a social media like Facebook,google or Twitter takes actions against crypto ads,ethereum suffers the most.

Nope ethereum price is becoming low due to a lot of token being converted to ethereum and then converted again into bitcoin. Ethereum is more of a utility token that. Is only use for a certain function not like bitcoin that can serve as a currency and also an asset that can be invested or traded.

Also ethereum don't have a lot of support like bitcoin have. It would take a lot of upgrade and a lot of time waiting till it became as popular as bitcoin now.

I just watching the youtube last night and its about the top 5 coins that best to invest in 2018 and yes ethereum is the second one who has good value. But ofcourse its not about competiting one coins to another what important is all of them are both useful to us. Each coin give us a different kinds of benefits, which help us to get profit while in online industry. Will see what will be the next in bitcoin after a year, knowing that no one cant predict on it.

Ethereum is a universal virtual currency platform. Everyone can use Ethereum's tools to develop their own virtual currency system. Ethereum is a smart contract system that can generate any number of different virtual currencies. Compared with Bitcoin, Ethereum's management is more rigorous. Ethereum has formed an alliance to ensure the openness and standardization of applications, and companies can use Ethereum to issue their own virtual currency to complete financing.

Just last year Ethereum almost surpassed Bitcoin and was an inch away from doing so. Hardly can say it will never been able to compare in that regard. I agree they are two separate coins doing two separate functions but point remains Ethereum could still usurp Bitcoin, at least temporarily.

Bitcoin is the speculative currency. Nothing can surpass it.
ETH's trading volume is mostly based on BTC. ETH's Zhuang is speculating on bitcoin as its local currency.
Zhuang needs Bitcoin. The same is true of acoin currency, and nothing can exceed Bitcoin.

This two kind of cryptocurrency has their own differences and uniqueness that make them a versatile kind of crypto compared to other kind of coin. But I doubted that ethereum is could be a next bigcoin by it's price because I'm still convinced that bitcoin is still the highest paid value kind of crypto.

Yes because the ethereum is my hold on all tokens when there is no ETH maybe there are also trading tokens that ETH so all tokens are handled in ETH

The issues involving Bitcoin are more complicated. The market value of Ethereum is now about 60% of Bitcoin. This is the situation after Ethereum's recent surge. At the time of the high bitcoin price, Ethereum's market value was less than 40% of Bitcoin's price. In other words, Ethereum’s bitcoin price is estimated to have more than doubled to be able to tie Bitcoin.

Bitcoin increases 700,000 pieces of mining per year, inflation rate is 3.5%, and it drops to 1% after two years. Ethereum's mining output will reach 8 to 10 million pieces and inflation rate will be 8%-10%. The progress of Ethereum's use of POS mechanism is currently far away. This inflation rate will decline, but it will not be very fast. In other words, Ethereum's Bitcoin prices will remain unchanged, and the market value will also grow closer to Bitcoin.

I think Ethereum could be higher than Bitcoin in the price sooner or later. Technically speaking, smart contract is more applicable to other industries to revolutionize their traditional model, whereas Bitcoin is just a digital currency and is not feasible comparatively.

I don't think ethereum will reach the price of the bitcoin next year maybe after few years ethereum will become the bitcoin. Ethereum is more potential now compared to bitcoin because we know ethereum now have many partners like ICO they are base on erc20 . But I hope bitcoin and ethereum will increase both so we can get more profit. Because for sure most of us have bitcoin and ethereum.

I don't agree that ETH will compete with BTC ,, Eth does have a good price potential but can't beat bitcoin.Bitcoin will remain the king of altcoin no one can beat bitcoin.

There is a big chance long term that Ethereum might really surpass Bitcoin. Bitcoin also needs to fixed its network and fees if they are really interested in becoming a mainstream currency.

It's almost impossible. The digital currency cannot look at technology alone. The important point is community and consensus. At this point, Bitcoin is already an anchor currency for the encrypted digital currency circle, and its basic position cannot be replaced. The most used scenario of ETH is currently used for ICO. Once the trend has passed, the value of ETH will decline.

I think it is very possible. ETH is Turing's first market-accepted decentralized computing system implementation, although performance is weak. However, there are significant technological advances compared to BTC. The functions eth that BTC can achieve are available and faster.

well i don't think so
because of that new coins who've came to us with advanced technology than ETH (a better version) like EOS and ADA
so i think ETH will never compete with bitcoin , cuz they r not similar , rather than compete with bitcoin i think that ETH will be in a war with other similar coins like ADA and EOS   

it could happen the next few years we hope in the future maybe eth and bitcoin can compete in price

I think it is possible that ETH continues to increase (BTC is limited to 21 million), and the currency price is more stable than BTC. Market value must be stable relative to btc.

I think it is impossible because it is not at all one level. ETH's current price bubble is very large. 90% of it is blown by ICO. 99.99% of ICO's fraud is fraudulent, and it's a kind of trick. It's only a matter of time. As long as ICO has several big scandals, ETH will definitely collapse.

Yes, the goal of the BTC has been very clear. It is to subvert the existing legal currency system. Having experienced so many forks in the past few months, so many fake news stories are still strong, and the development and deployment of Lightning Networks is far faster than expected. It is estimated that it will soon enter a new round of rising channels.

I think ETH price will not get high as BTC since its quantity makes it less scarcity. But ETH price may go higher than $1200 as it is still potential.

No, i think it is hard for ethereum to reach bitcoin value right now.
Bitcoin value in the market is about $8k price. Ethereum need to add about $7k more to reach bitcoin value.

There is no way that Ethereum will surpass or even price wise be near with Bitcoin in one year. Maybe you are wondering why I can say that because of the market cap. I posted this before with almost the same topic but lets just say If Ethereum reach $5,000 this year( still far from the Bitcoin price ) with the coin circulation today it's market cap will be around $490 Billion and with the Bitcoins current price the market cap is $142 Billion. Ethereum  will be 250% higher on market cap than Bitcoin which will impossible to happen.

Maybe one day Ethereum may surpass bitcoin but it will be in the far future.

Thats unrelated. Ethereum will always work as per its speed and depends on its own development in the field. Apart from this bitcoin has got nothing to do with the ether and neither it will affect the prices of the same this year. I mean why ether will repeat the patterns of the bitcoin as both of them have different development aspects, different ways of suing, different blockchain and use. I think ether will grow this year, thats completely true but it wont be path of the bitcoin that it is taking. This misleading information must need to be folded.

For now, I think ETH is not strong enough to be compared to bitcoin. Even if you give it a year, the difference between the two is so HUGE. We can try comparing them 5 years from now and who knows what will happen. I still think that both of them were good investment so I highly recommend investing on the two if you want a low risk investment. There will be a time were ETH can compete with bitcoin. I am excited to see that happening.

It's difficult to answer this question.bitcoin and ethereum are unique in their functionality. Bitcoin is not governed by anyone and only open community is responsible to scale their functionality. However, ETHEREUM has strong leadership of vitalik buterin and their vision is clear where Ethereum should go whereas Bitcoin is just currency which store and transfer only values no contracts associated

I thhink Etherium cant be cost big. Its fuel for smart contracts, but some of tokens can reach price of btc. Only what need - succesdull project

This is truth that next bitcoin is etherium but I don't mean that etherium will take place of bitcoin Because bitcoin was king and also will remain king forever , so don't underestimate bitcoin with etherium .
Here no doubt that technology of etherium is better and also no doubt that it has lots of potential in cryptourrency field by bulk investors .
Here I would like to suggest to everyone that if you can buy etherium then it will be much better for you to make profit soon , Because currently etherium coin price is not much high as it should be , its average price is 0.1btc = 1 eth , so you can expect easily that how can you make profit ( 30% atleast in small time hold ) , so better to have etherium as investment but can't take place of bitcoin but better coin after bitcoin .

         According to my opinion I don't think that Ethereum will be the next to Bitcoin  because it will take a long time to reach since Bitcoin is limited and Ethereum have no limitations and Bitcoin has an advantages which makes Bitcoin a currency tending and  more powerful than any other. Ethereum is totally different and it is difficult to reach with Bitcoin . Bitcoin has a value like a currency and as an asset and also can be traded or invested.

It may happen, but not in the next year. by looking at the current conditions, it takes several years to go beyond the bitcoin that is still so strong.

yes it seems so ethereum can follow the trail of king coin ie bitcoin .ethereum will have a soaring price in the future.ethereum has quite a lot of fans from other coin so it has a big price target.

The potential of Ethereum seems limitless, and there are high chances that it will grow even further. But Bitcoin is one of its kind and will not be replaced anytime soon, i believe ETH will grow massively, but BTC will still be the king of crypto

ethereum is believed to be a lot of people can replace bitcoin, but in my opinion it will be very difficult, it may take a long time until it happens, in short, even though the price of ethereum continues to increase does not mean that bitcoin prices can also fall as easily. bitcoin prices will also continue to increase along with the development of ethereum

I think not, although the price of ethereum has the characteristics of price fluctuations similar to bitcoin but the price is very much different, so if the ethereum will increase later. does not mean bitcoin will end, bitcoin also has price fluctuations that are independent of ethereum

 in my own opinion, ethereum is one of the greatest altcoins around the world, but ethereum couldn't be the next bitcoin even if its the same price as the same time. ethereum didn't have a potential that bitcoin have. whenever bitcoin falls down, the one thing that i sure is bitcoin is the king of all coins around the world.

I see the great potential that Ethereum has, and I do not see that in other altcoins.
and I am very confident about the future of Ethereum. honestly, nowadays my trust with bitcoin has started to disappear.

If ETH really replaces BTC in 2018 and is in the position of the king, I would very much welcome it. ETH's progress and ecological development are obvious to all. Digital currency needs progress, and it stands still. The foundation of consensus will gradually disappear, and the destination will be self-evident.

At the current time, Ethereum ranks second in terms of capitalization after Bitcoin. This is an attractive object for investment. I'm pretty sure that the price of this crypto currency will grow. However, I doubt that Ethereum will compete with Bitcoin. It takes an honorable second place. Ethereum, contrary to popular belief, is not an analog of Bitcoin and is not its competitor. The technologies mutually complement each other. The popularization of "digital gold" and the growth of its value favorably affects the crypto-currency market in general and the price of the Ethereum in particular.

I think ETH to replace BTC is only a matter of time. BTC lacks the foundation of smart contracts and therefore can only serve as a trading platform. ETH, on the basis of smart contracts, (theoretically) can extend the boundaries of blockchain applications from transactions to various decentralized applications, so that in the true sense the blockchain can become the new underlying technology of the entire Internet world.

It is impossible to speak for the next year, when it is calculated Bitcoin Price 18 times Etherium price ... Competing with Bitcoin is impossible for Etherium in one or two or even four years. etherium is Bitcoin's closest competitor but they have a great distance and need time and a very high market rise

Eth is very popular and quick cryptcurrency. All bounty are based on its blockchain. Vitalik Buterin made a good job! Eth is on the second place after Bitcoin on all the exchange markets and it is very good position! Nevertheless it's too far from BTC's price.

Yes it’s true that etherium Is gaining very high amount of popularity among the people and its demand is also increasing among them but I don’t think that it will be able to overcome bitcoin. This is because firstly, bitcoin is way more older than etherium and bitcoin has way more users throughout the world than etherium . Also people trust bitcoin with their money more than the trust etherium  with their money. These are the main reasons because of which I don’t think etherium and could be the next bit quoin by its price

In my opinion, bitcoin and ethereum differ in their purpose. While Bitcoin is created as an alternative to regular money and is thus a medium of payment and value transactions, Ethereum is developed as a platform that facilitates contracts and peer-to-peer applications through its own currency vehicle. Although Bitcoin and Ether are both digital currencies, Ether's primary goal is not to establish itself as an alternative payment (unlike Bitcoin) but to facilitate and monetize Ethereum's work to enable developers to build and run distributed applications

Using etherium as smart contract to make new token can be two options of side.
Good and bad sides is always staying together.
The good of etherium smart contract is the project can support etherium but the bad one there are many project are scam because to make the project is so easy.

some people have the opinion that ethereum is one of the candidates as bitcoin competition, but I think ethereum will not be able to compete with bitcoin in price, especially in one year. because now bitcoin is still number one and has a price of 10x from ethereum even more I think the difference is very far away.

It is difficult to compare Ethereum and bitcoin. They are in different systems. And they were never direct competitors.Bitcoin is a payment system and Ethereum is used in the implementation of smart contracts.Bitcoin is not subject to inflation because it has a strict limit. Ethereum is produced 18 million coins per year.Therefore, in this case we are talking about inflation.The price of Ethereum will fall and bitcoin on the contrary will go up.In the long term, ether has every chance of realization.

it is all about the differences!
bitcoin is a currency while ETH is not
bitcoin is being used in a lot of applications while ETH is only used by ICOs to raise funds
bitcoin is adopted by merchants and speculators but ETH is only used by speculators to make profit
bitcoin has a limited supply but ETH is limitless (supply and demand law)
bitcoin is decentralized while ETH is not

In my view ethereum may not be the next coin after the bitcoin in price because of availability of ethereum is high so BCH has the second place now but the condition may change who knows naybe ethereum can beat bitcoin too but no one knows exactly what will happen so just wait and ket tge future answer your question.

Its hard to say that because we dont know whats comming for tomorrow as you can see this time the of bitcoins and altcoin are surging evryday its because all of the news everyday we heard coming from bitcoin which is not good.

There could be a possibility because as we all know Ethereum is one of the well-known cryptocurrencies in the market. However Ethereum's price increase is going very slow as of now. Unlike bitcoin with a more healthy price trends and fluctuations than ethereum. Moreover, it is not about who's the best coin as all of these bitcoins are not controlled by a single individual.

nope eth will go down in my opinion but yes in future ETH can go up to 3000$ ....

Once ethereum manages to introduce PoS, this will be the real crypto revolution, leaving all the altcoins behind, tackling fiat money, banking and so on.

I think Ethereum could be the next Bitcoin. I noticed that most bounties use ethereum as their main currency. There' a big chance that ethereum would be next in line of bitcoin.

I think ethereum can't be next to bitcoin because ethereum price is too far from bitcoin price. So bitcoin is the one that leads to all crypto.

With this current situation where we can watch at Ethereum struggling to get back to the 1000 dollars value, it is hard to predict anything. Ethereum had a great stability and movement back in 2017 but current chaos in the market is obstructing the Ethereum growth towards the top.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the future, no one knows what will happen. It isn't excluded that the Ethereum may compete with the Bitcoin as the time goes but for now, it is not even near the Bitcoins value and achievements. Much more investors are supporting the Bitcoin in contrary to the Ethereum

Ethereum is very good but Bitcoin is the king and remain the king. Crypto market is behind the Bitcoin. Ethereum is performing very good and attracting good investment but Ethereum can't be Bitcoin.

Yes you are absolutely right bitcoin is the inspiration and leader for all crypto currencies so you cannot overtake bitcoin with any other currencies and bitcoin had a great future.

Too much negativity came striking Ethereum now.
Facebook and Twitter ban with ICO's, which almost everything is under ERC20. Next is G20 meeting which made panic with new ones that thought it will be a bad decision and choose to just withdrew.

I guess when everything stabilize again then we can see Ethereum back. It is the only best competitor of bitcoin that I know.

I think not because of its price but because of its market capitalization and its usage. ETH has played a major role in the cryptoworld too where most of newcomer ICOs are using the ERC-20 smart contracts of Ethereum blockchain.

Yes but i think we should encourage more retailers to accept Etherum in their method payment first.

And why not, now there is a good decline in the cryptocurrency market, but this is only on hand for those who have extra money to invest as the price of bitcoin and Ethereum will soon give 100-200%

     In my opinion, this is something that will really be hard if not impossible to happen since the gap between the two coins in terms of supporters and popularity is way too far which gives bitcoin a lead that will be impossible to catch up on by any other atlcoin out there. The only thing I can think of is that ethereum will only  be capable of following the steps of bitcoins or reaching the past prices of bitcoins or all time highs but not really reaching the current ones or even close to it.

Im not sure but if you will be checking the crypto market value trend, when bitcoin value is increasing also the value of ethereum and other altcoins also increasing. Also the market cap have big gap between ethereum and bitcoin. Still there is a possibility to happen but it will be hard.

If you mean that ethereum will touch the price of bitcoins ($10000), this is going to take some years in my opinion. You should consider that all the new investors start with bitcoins only. When someone starts searching about crypto, his first query is about bitcoin only. Also, there are various other alt coins capable of giving better returns in comparison to ethereum. I am not saying that ethereum does not have any potential but it is just that I do not see it touching $10000 mark any soon.

I can't agree with you by that. Have you seen the price of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Maker (MKR) those two have a much higher price than Ethereum (ETH).
Eth could be the next bitcoin by technology but as of the moment, it cant be the next bitcoin by price. We all know that price pf crypto is so volatile, it could jump up and down in several hours. But if you could check the price graph of those two alt, it is way more higher than eth. The only thing that eth is preferred most of the people is due to its smart contract feature. People can easily deploy application that use eth compare to those two.

Gotta also consider the supply, which seems to be one of the main criteria, for the token's value to be big or not.

Functionnality isn't the only thing . Not sure that MKR would be worth what it's is worth right now, if it wasn't for its very limited sup :) .

Cheers

ETH is no doubt really a good coin for the sake of investing of your money and that it is also helping the ones who are into day trading in making of a significant amount of money but still you can’t claim this thing that ETH will be able to beat bitcoin in any way in the future even. Bitcoin is far more beneficial and is much more demanding than that of ETH and that there is no match of both the coins.

Eth is the same as the other altcoin, whose price depends on the price of bitcoin, the ETH will definitely go back up and can compete with bitcoin, if bitcoin back up and more stable, so eth will back up, and so the best among other altcoin .

I don't think so. Bitcoin is a pioneer in this industry. I think Ethereum is trying hard to surpass Bitcoin to become the first in this industry, and the gap between the two coins of supporters and popularity is too far. , but I still hope Ethereum will do better.

Yes, ethereum has the potential to leave bitcoins behind. However, this will take at least 5 years in my opinion.

no, in a year it is highly unlikely to happen. although ethereum developers have great progress. I think, it is very difficult to compete with bitcoin. not just the first crypto but more to the ever-growing asset and all the altcoins refer to bitcoin. I think there should be some altcoin that can be equal to bitcoin for balancing, so the market can become more stable.

Let's accept the fact that Ethereum is next to Bitcoin and some people assume that Ethereum will surpass Bitcoin one day. In my opinion, I think Ethereum cannot replace/Surpass Bitcoin's position. Yeah, Ethereum's price is more stable than Bitcoin and it is the only thing that Eth got Over Btc. When it comes to price, as we can see. Even though Bitcoin dropped to its lowest price, Ethereum still can't catch up to Bitcoin.
Ethereum can only surpass Bitcoin if Bitcoin ever lose its price which is very impossible for now.
But, besides that, they both have their own advantages and disadvantages that's why some people prefer to use Ethereum than Bitcoin and some people prefer Bitcoin over Ethereum. It depends on its use.

Yes for sure now there is lots of bad news spreading around ethereum lots of ethereum based token want to delist even lots of projects creating their Minnet before  it was using ethereum . But ehtereum is one of the best thing happened in crypto world after bitcoin

Yes, you are right Ethereum price is nowadays behaving similarly to the bitcoin price action which we used to see a few months back in the bitcoin price charts and we can expect the same thing to happen with Ethereum too but I think this time Ethereum can start to rise soon because of the increasing demand of Ethereum in managing the newly launched ICO's and tokens in the crypto market. I think the competition is already started and i think Ethereum can beat the bitcoin if the bitcoin loses its value.

That’s an undeniable fact of the crypto currencies market. The crown of crypto currencies throne is with bitcoin and it would stay with it forever. No other virtual currency is capable of even competing with bitcoin in any way.

The prices that bitcoin has touched in the last year shows that it has edge over all of the market in this regard. Bitcoin is the trendiest coin and ethereum is just another follower of bitcoin.

For me "NO" Bitcoin will be allmost number 1 cryptocurrencies for all times. And if there's a one who will be competing especially in price of bitcoin the first i see it would be allso in related to bitcoin that is bitcoin cash.

Well, nothing is impossible in the Cryptocurrency world. I had thought before that ethereum should second the Bitcoin in price value due to its high relevance in comparison to bitcoin. It rose high towards late last year above 1000$. But now it is about 400$; a come back to real live is possible and very realistic too.

Personally, I understood one thing in the world of crypto currency that no one can predict what price will be in future for this or that coins, whether it be bitcoin or ethereum. Since the market of crypto currency depends on many factors.

There are so many who speculate that ethereum will replace bitcoin. I think those who want the speculation to happen are the ethereum miners. However, it could be that the velocity of ethereum transactions is much faster than bitcoin. There are also things that make ethereum cannot be the next bitcoin the price fluctuations that always follow the price movement of bitcoin.

bitcoin will never be the next ethereum because bitcoins are investors and they do not allow it to override the ethereum.
