Everyone is hopeful that the market is now all green and the coins are increasing in price. However, as I look at the prices of the coins in the top 100 in coinmarket, I realized the fall of bitcoin cash compared to its boom last year. Now, it is in the price where there's only so little gap between it and ETH. Now, which do you think will reach the $1000 first? Any opinion?

I think that the Etherium will overtake Bitcon Cash in terms of growth as a percentage, and at a price in general, the main thing is to believe.

Have you already checked out the price history of ETH? if not then try to look on this one https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/#charts and you might able to answer your own question by just looking on the chart. $1k price had already been break out by ETH which I do see that this coin is more worthy that BCH.

Definitely Ethereum, i do not like bitcoin cash. Ether is better project, offering innovation.
Team and developers on ether are great and are always committing changes and upgrades

I think that Ethereum has a lot more value than BCH. However considering that BCH saw an ATH of over 4k USD it might have a higher uptrend potential.

I think Bcash would be the first to hit $1000, I can see Roger pumping it soon because of all the negativity it has sufferred recently and may want to proof to us that his baby as come to stay because interest in the coin has decline significantly recently, I can see Ethereum too hit $1k but Bcash first

I'n not a fan of BCH, but if I need to choose between those two, BCH will win the race for sure.
There is too much pressure over ETH from ICO's who wants to cashout their tokens.

I don't think we can call it close when eth is $490 and bch is $745. From that point we can safely say bitcoin cash would reach to $1000 faster compared to ethereum but i am not sure market can continue to grow that fast. We will probably see some ups and downs before we see that kind of increase.

Bitcoin Cash tends to get in the first place because the price is more consistent and increasing over time. Since its spreading, Bitcoin Cash has increased as Bitcoin Cash adjustments will make it easier for miners to mine.

What value are you talking about, i do not see ETH going over $2000 anytime soon, let alone reach the all time high valuation of BCH.
Both have different uses.

Are the talking about the total market valuation, if so ETH with unlimited number of tokens might win the race and that is not the case with a coin with limited coin like BCH  :P,  BCH is having a better valuation than ETH.

Good question. The first thing you need to look at who is the team behind and are they very active or not? So for me, ETH team is very good and they are really busy keeping the project going with new enhancements. However, BCH seems to have same following as well and they really love to pump-and-dump this coin.

So I'm looking at BCH to be the first to reach $1K for the simply reason that it can be easily manipulated. Just by throwing a lot of cash on the ecosystem, others might follow those whales resulting in a big jump in prices, In my opinion.

Both ethereum and bitcoincash cash are good picks in this period, they are very low and they both have good opportunities to grow in the next period. Bitcoincash can ne easily pumped by his supporters

if current price increases work well I always trust ethereum to be a good buy and believe it can reach $ 1000 in the next few days. for bch i can not to predict it will increase but i am sure if bch has good potential.

To me, neither of them is going to go past $1k.

Even though the entire market seems bullish right now I don't think this is going to last a long time. Most likely, this pump will end in a few days or a week. There is no chance for ETH to more than double its price against BTC in this timeframe, or BCH to gain 30% further.

Which one will reach it first? Probably BCH just because it's already valued 50% higher than ETH. However i do not think it's a good investment, both short term and long term.

the market is recouping and security is returning to the digital currency showcase. Be that as it may, it began like this last year February/March, at that point cost goes to the moon and I can see Ethereum setting another All time high (ATH) in 2018

I think ETH will be more capable. ETH is widely available throughout the world, they are one of the most potential coin in the future. The price is high, but I know they are popular in some American countries. They are not widely available. So the possibility of rapid price increases is impossible.

:( Three days ago I just noticed ETH costs 380-400, then 425, when I began to buy additionally, ETH value went up to 495. Today I waked up and found ETH cost 525, that was really exciting! But after that it went down to 508-511 and had maintained for a whole.... now under 500. I would buy again when it’s close to 430-450.

supporters of both coins also belong to groups with the same volume of sales, but I am more optimistic about Ethereum purchases. because this type of coin is very often used as an ICO platform. and that will affect the price in the market later

you are talking about two of the most centralized and also most manipulated coins on the market! it is impossible to tell, maybe the two centralized entities start a fight together (although i have a feeling that they share members) and competition pumps both of them in a race against the market and we see another two big bubbles in both at the same time!

The ether is much more likely to reach this mark first. Yes, I bet the fork of bitcoin is the most successful project of many that was created in the aftermath of the time, but it seems that it can not show more, and demand inevitably began to fall. Therefore, the ether leader in the speed of take-off prices.

Yes, if we refer to the history of the prices of both ETH and BCH, they had both surpassed the $1000. However, I am referring to the current price since all of the coin's prices deteriorated during the dip. So I was thinking, this time, which will reach $1000 first.

I have ethereum for long-term investment whereas for BCH I'm not very interested because it has not seen having a future, I believe ethereum will continue to be in position 2 in coinmarketcap

If ethereum can break $800 which is stronger resistent it will probably back to all time high. And if ethereum can break its all time high we probably will see anothe all time high which i predict is arround $3000. The price also will be boost by migration consensus to hybrid which everyone can stake their ethereum in december.

The total market cap is not a bench mark to evaluate the coin, take a look at doge coin, it is a fun coin and it was in the top five coins for a few years back and with the number of coins in circulation you can come with those figures, BCH is old bitcoin created by satoshi with larger blocks and i am not sure how they could make things better from this situation to make it widely acceptable, i view these coins in the merit they bring to the market, BCH is a coin while ETH is a token creating platform and investing in BCH can give you a bigger profit in the long run, just a speculation but if you stick to one, it might give you the benefit. :)

Bitcoin Cash is likely to hit $1000 first because of it’s transaction speed:it’s even much faster than bitcoin. Ether rum looks promising with the many tokens being purchased on the ethereum blockchain but I still stick to BTC cash.

It's no doubt they will reach the $1000 price tier my choice falls into the hands of ETH it's pumping machine the ICO's and the promising smart contracts will make the coin reach that tier first, however, it is not the basis of the question cause both coins can reach that price with the means of any method to pump its price back to the ATH in the present the BCH has the upper hand to reach that stage first.

Maybe I will select ETH for the winner, ETH is almost number 2 in coinmarket which is there is a lot of transaction so the volume is bigger than BCH. BCH rise because Bitmain accepts this coin for their payments. I don't know if my speculation came with nice logic or not it's just my opinion you know as a newbie  ;D

Would prefer and suggest ETH here over BCH
I am not sure if BCH could last long despite many merchants started to accept BCH as one of the payment
If there's BTC with LN activated, it solved the main issue of why BCH is forked out which is the transaction speed
Yet, this is debatable because this is the beauty of Crypto

It will certainly be Ethereum. Because its popularity and platform is better than Bitcoin Cash. In terms of growth, ETH is always higher than Bitcoin Cash. so. It is not surprising that ETH will definitely reach 1000$ before Bitcoincash when the market recovers

For me the first who reach the first $1000 will be ethereum because as of now the price of the ethereum will become $1000 because we know the price of the ethereum already reach $1400 will be the highest of the ethereum so that's why I think it will become first. Because for sure it will increase more the price again because this is the next bitcoin after few years for sure.

keep in mind ethereum and bitcoin cash race to 1000 are not equal
ethereum supply is higher than bitcoin cash
https://www.coingecko.com/en
a fair comparison is bitcoin cash and bitcoin

Definitely I am also not that stupid to support bitcoin cash while I have the option of choosing number one altcoin. Ethereum is far better than BCH and it has a brighter future also. Though bitcoin cash rate of rising is more than Ethereum but it cannot be trusted with money because it is a weak coin. The survival strength of bitcoin cash is not as much as that of Ethereum.

We can never be so sure just like most people are trying to say here we could see BCH to rather take the lead again and make another $2000 mark or more, But if ETH would over take BCH then I really think it is OK because I consider Ethereum the second best Altcoins next to Litecoin, I never invested in Bitcoin Cash so this post seems one sided but that is my opinion.

In coinmarketcap the difference in the price of bitcoin cash and ethereum only $270 differently in the last year which had a huge difference, almost $2000. But now it's only $270 higher than bitcoin cash. I think bitcoin cash investestor moves on to another altcoin, and could move to ethereum. For those who reach $1000 I choose ethereum, I see the movement price bitcoin cash is very slowly.

BCH has been making a lot of pump/dump so it may reach to 1000 first.

In my opinion Ethereum would be the first to reach $1000 because I feel like the results of the forks such as Bitcoin Cash this year would be slow compared to its price last year. It was like the year of the forks last year and this year would be a different year too. I think the people behind Bitcoin Cash had already hoarded enough money and would most likely create another fork to get money out of the people.

The BCH has an awfully weak technical part. ETH has a strong technical part, so ETH has more prospects in the future.

Eth will definitely reach $1000 before bch because eth is more popular and it has a lot of potential. Eth's platform is way better than bch's platform. Even many investors choose eth because it eth is the more promising.

I think that bitcoin cash will win that race thanks to its very low supply. Anyways bitcoin cash is worthless in my eyes comparing to bitcoin. On the other hand I am expecting to see ethereum raise higher than bch over time.

It's not possible i suppose consider bitcoin cash has less on its total supply compared with ethereum. Remember it was even touched more than 2k and it looks like so easy for bch to go back again above $1000 before ethereum. I guess it doesn't matter how popular ethereum is but the total supply told us anything about that.

I was really worried when ETH fell below its $400 price range, since that had proven to be the mountain to climb in the past, three times it failed to surpass it last year. Completely forgot to look at BCH all this while, seems so long ago when it was almost $4k (thanks to GDAX). ETH will make it back to $1k, don't you worry. Can't say the same for Bitcoin Cash. Ver will of course want to pump in this year to avoid falling out of people's minds.

Yeah so easy for Bitcoin cash to move up and down hundreds dollar within a minute .
That's just show how immature the market and even maybe it's looks a controllable coin? I personally don't like how Bitcoin cash run the market , some people called it's totally a shit coin that going nowhere .
Ethereum much more reliable with great supports and well known developer makes people didn't feel insecure.

It's true that Ethereum is much more reliable with good support history, i'm personally don't like BCH after the mess they made to challenge Bitcoin last year. But, seeing the recovery market is slow now then BCH will first reach $1,000 price, like it or not this is the fact that Ethereum has problems when it drops to $400 and seems slow in recovery despite having a high daily trading volume.

To reach $ 1000, the etherium needs to be made + 100%, BCH + 35%. Also, to raise the price of the etherium by 1% is more difficult, because its capitalization is 4 times higher, and the issue of tokens isn't limited. The answer is obvious. Those who write in the direction of the etherium probably don't know how to count.  ;)

I believe that ETH will reach the $ 1,000 mark the first. It seems to me that ETH is a much better coin than BCH. Thus, the BCH price is now higher than the ETH price, but ETH has many chances for big and fast growth. It seems to me that BCH has weak technical support and therefore it loses.

ethereum will be over 1000 usd again in a couple of months. it will be faster than bitcoin cash. honestly I don't even think bitcoin cash survive anymore. definitely not for these high prices. there is real bitcoin out there, why would somebody want to buy fake bitcoin with their money anyway.

Ethereum this year should reach $ 1000, and I think we will see it. On the other hand, the market is not predictable and can punish us severely. I am now confused as to what to do, sell the cryptocurrency or keep it even further.

idon't think so that ethereum will overtake take bitcoin cash.the market shown that when the bitcoin cash down ethereum will down too.i believe that price ethereum will be the down of bitcoin cash until the end of year

It could really have a huge competition in the market today, not only for ETH and BCH but of the entire market. Looking at their price , it is noticeable that BCH is now the lead against ETH but $1000 is still far and their prices might be changes(very often) in the coming days. 

ETH is my choice after the long rest of this coin im quitely sure that it will make the moves to give back the confidents to its investors.

From the last 7 days I believe BCH will get $1000 first than ETH because the grow up precentage show that BCH growth more faster than ETH. That's doesn't mean that it will 100% BCH will be the first. Everything possible in cryptocurrency and I believe too that that 2 coins will grow more than $1000.

I'm sure sooner or later Eth will beat Bch this year, I can not give a reason why EtH will win, I just pay attention to Eth pattern and I am sure eth will be better than Bch.

Yes, I agree on this. BCH, is only a fork from Bitcoin. It was only hype that so much it became controversial but ethereum has
 more followers and good dev behind it. Vitalik is hands on with his ethereum just like Charlie Lee of LTC. And of course, because I am a believer of ethereum too, I will keep believing that it will be back to $1000  this 2018. I am hoping by this yearend.

Bitcoin Cash is going to get to $1000 before ethereum and I think the gap is very clear as we can see from https://coinmarketcap.com.  There is no two ways that ethereum may follow that bitcoin Cash will not follow, it is very clear that ethereum has outperform every other coins in 2017 and 2018 will not be different.

2017 has been a different year compared to the other years of the bitcoin history. The growth that happened over the year is massive and the history gets rewritten. Every year something happens similar to this, but at the end growth is achieved. Hope, by this year too the same happens. When it comes to BCH or ETH, both have got the potential to reach $1000 at the earliest.

Bitcoin cash has no future but played in the market for the sake of profit , they just keep imitating the real Bitcoin and yeah of course they won't reach the real Bitcoin value level , we can safely say it will never happened , ethereum and Bitcoin cash in different dimension , in term of value I see Bitcoin cash always leading ... At least half of ethereum value ahead.
Doesn't matter I prefer ethereum in any sides.

Bcash has only one purpose. Killing bitcoin and replacing it after. Neither of these have that king of power with their current state but if I had to pick one, ofc I would pick ethereum . Bcash is a shitcoin with no real life purpose which is led by true lunatics like Roger Ver and Craig Wright. (This retard got burned by Vitalik recently)

Before it (bcash) goes down from the crypto stage however, it may become big. I mean real big. A lot bigger than bitconnect. A psychopath like Roger Ver can keep this scam going for a very long time because basically he has a lot of money.

In the end many people will get burned and many will be incredibly rich. If you think you are one of those lucky bastards, Roger's ponzicoin might be a better choice for you.

for now, i choose bitcoin cash for who will reach $1000 first. but also not impossible for ethereum to reach it first. we can't predict anything on cryptocurrency, it depends on the market itself.

to be honest, i'm a big fan of ethereum and i think ethereum still better than bitcoin cash.

Last year Bitcoin Cash did experience a very high increase and it has now fallen so deep. but in my opinion when compared with Ethereum then Bitcoin Cash will first reach $ 1000.

it is true that eth is a very popular coin today. but eth has a problem when the interrupt drops to $ 400, and seems slow in recovery despite having a very high daily trading volume. seeing this condition is likely that the first BCH will reach $ 1,000 this year

While it isn't even close Bitcoin Cash will beat Ethereum to 1k, in 5 years time we may be talking a whole different story. In that time I believe Bcash will be foiled and people will understand its true colors and intentions. Whereas Ethereum to me will continue to cement its place in cryptoland keeping it in the top 5 yet, I don't know what each price will be but I would bet all my money that Ethereum will have a bigger price and more prominent position in the industry.

Fully agree. ETH is really more useful and big coin for me. Yes, BCash will reach $1000 first but Ethereum Market Capitalization is larger and more credible..

of course Ethereum will hit before BCH no need to guess wait a couple of months maybe Q3 maximum the end of this year will reach $ 1000 or maybe more .

the market is recovering and security is coming back to the advanced cash exhibit. In any case, it started like this last year February/March, by then cost goes to the moon and I can see Ethereum setting another All time high (ATH) in 2018

Like usual, pumps and dumps come and go. This is why we call digital market as the volatile one. Now this is also a fact which people may deny that the whole digital market depends on bitcoin and bitcoin has the most fluctuating nature. Due to this, it is not possible for altcoins to get stable. I am expecting bitcoin to touch 40k dollars. Only then, Ethereum can go to the moon.

i dont think ETH can over take BCH in next 12 month.but ETH good potential than BCH

This race won the resounding victory. and BCH has exceeded your expectations quite high. ETH is still a low coin, and can not rise as high as expected. But I still do not understand why ETH is so widespread, but it's always lower than EB. Which is why? who can help me?

This race has gone far beyond ETH. BCH reached 1800$ and ETH only reached 800$. a distance too far. So I think ETH is underestimated by the ECH. hope in the future. There will be some strong upswing from ETH
