According to the principle of blockhain, the more transaction that is verified and confirmed, the more secure it will be.

We all know that Bicoin starts several ago and undeniably the most secure platform up to date  as long as the principle is concerned but Ethereum has more capabilities than bitcoin and we all know that most of the coins that are emerging is an ERC20 type of coin which uses Ethereum platform.

In your mind, which platform will have more transactions and therefore secure in the future.

Keep in mind that Ethereum starts 3 years ago while Bitcoin starts 9 years ago. Also consider the fact that Ethereum can handle more transaction per second than bitcoin.

I think ETH is functioning better and faster.

The ethereum is better in every respect than the bitcoin.
Faster, more secure, more useful. it will be used more in future than bitcoin.

With transactions it's undeniably ethereum but for security in the future, can you describe more of what type of security is this?

Secured in a way that many are using it or it's entire networks security?

So what if Ethereum started 3 years ago? it's network can be also congested same as bitcoin.

Bitcoin without doubt. Minus the fact ethereum have dismantled the theory of immutability after the Dao attack in the past, the overall size of their blocks will inevitably lead to a centralisation in the mining process. I think with casper they are attempting to tackle this problem but Im not sure it will fully deal with the centralisation which will always bring security issues.

ETH it's still too young for beat BTC price. But ETH has more advantages than BTC which that make ETH more popular. But, if there is another update for BTC which make BTC more faster, secure, and many more maybe BTC will remain the number 1 in cryptocurrency. But I think we don't need choose which one is better, I think we just let them at the top as King and the Prince.

In the next few years the way things seem for Bitcoin could become obsolete. Its slow transaction speed and magnanimous cost of transactions is holding it back. While Ether only 3 years old is functioning much better and picked up right where bitcoin left technology wise. If bitcoin doesn't show any improvement in its technology it could become less secure over time with ether being agressive.

Ethereum are working on better consensus protocols in my opinion. Both platforms are equally secure right now. There will be some risks and uncertainties with the Ethereum's transition to Casper. We will see how it will play out. They are quite more risk-taking than Bitcoin in their approach to scaling.

I am talking about the number of transactions that is done and can be done by the network. We all know that one of the reason why blockchain is secured is because it is immune to mutation and according to Satoshi's whitepaper, the more the transaction is done the harder it can be modify by the potential hacker.


The point is that bitcoin has more transactions that is done and confirmed compared to bitcoin

You might also want to consider the fact that bitcoin is handling more volumes of transaction than ETH, and thus is the reason why ETH can now handle more transaction per second than bitcoin but I doubt if it will be fast or slow if it begins to have at least 70% of the current transaction volume of bitcoin. Nevertheless, I think both platform will be at par with each other in the future in terms of security.

Bitcoin and Ethereum I think are the two most reliable digital currencies in the present. I think investing with these two will have a high percentage of gaining earnings. Long term investing with bitcoin and day with Ethereum is what I'm recommending.

I think Ethereum is the platform of the future! This is a good currency that the whole world knows and it has many advantages. Baitkoyn is a coin from which began the crypto world and bitcoin has many disadvantages. I think in the future ETX will equal the price with BTC and be safer than BTC.

Bitcoin is not a platform. Can you tell me what make you call that as a platform? I think about ethereum will be more scalable than bitcoin (It's happened)
Remember another hardcap to the total supply of ethereum will have determined and you will be able to earn passive income from the ethereum network and that gives another positive value to ether compared with bitcoin.

I choose both, Bitcoin and Ethereum because those two are great crypto, easily to use, safe and secured to invest and those are great future. In handling the transaction, Ethereum is Faster and lower transaction fee compare to bitcoin and Ethereum it is mostly used in investing from the ICO.

In my opinion, bitcoin is relatively safe.
Because bitcoin is currently at a very low price, it is worth investing, and the nodes of bitcoin are very fragmented.

an important part of security is network security which is assured by the number of full nodes that are running on the network and how distributed they are.
the big problem with Ethereum which is being overlooked these days is that it has a huge blockchain and it is growing very fast. this means the number of full nodes will be continually declining and with that the security of the network will be threatened.

Against the backdrop of recent events with tokens based on ERC-20, I changed my attitude to the Ethereum, it is not known what other surprises it will bring. Hackers do not slumber!

How does full nodes continually declining and how come that this problem does not occur in bitcoin?


The very definition of platform for an IT is that a group of technologies that are used as a base upon which other applications, processes or technologies are developed. In short, bitcoin is a platform since the creator used several kinds of technologies to build the network

In my opinion, ETH is better than bitcoins in most of the aspects. Only reason why bitcoin is at top is because it is the first cryptocurrency.

In my country as well as in other different countries Bitcoin is considered to be safe and popular currency which is why many people decide to invest into this.

What you said about the more transaction a platform processed the more secured it is, is very wrong. For Proof of Work project which both are, what secured it is the hash power and you even said BTC is more secured so why are you bothering asking this kind of questions. There are alot of platforms wit faster transaction speed that Ethereum and that don't make them secured

All these capabilities Ethereum has now, Bitcoin will have them in the future too. About security, Bitcoin is much more secure than Ethereum, recently we had an example of this with the ERC 20 tokens bug.

I think ethereum will do more transactions. Maybe for now the cost of transactions using bitcoin is too expensive, and almost all marketplace receive ethereum in large quantities.

Ethereum is much more faster and secure network then bitcoin in every aspect as it can hold more transaction per second then the bitcoin and confirms transactions really faster then bitcoin does.

I think that the ethereum has a more reliable transaction system at the moment, but personally I think that in the future there will be even better and more reliable coin

First the bitcoin doesnt have any good working platform which is why i am going to expect more to ethereum,second erc20 tokens arent too reliable these days as most of these new ICOs are scams,these people are using the disadvantages of ethereum's platform to scam a lot of people giving them millions in an instant.

I agree with you. Ethereum is a bit more potent than Bitcoin, but Bitcoin is the father all of coins. I mean, think of Bitcoin as the beginning of this revolution and perhaps, if Bitcoin was not born, the coins in the present would not be. But considering that Etherereum is relatively younger than Bitcoin, it may leave Bitcoin behind in the future.

Ethereum and bitcoin are the same secured and it's proven by this two coin. And I think it will more secured in the future because the changes of technology.  Ethereum and bitcoin is invented for many purposes and includes the secure if this two coin.

For functionality it is Ethereum but for security I would go for bitcoin.. The bitcoin system is very strong though it gets congested.. Which Blockchain known that is working like btc or ETH dat doesn't experience congestion...

That's true.

And this only means that bitcoin has tighter security or you miss typed it to ETH has more transactions?
There's the same discussion here regarding security and speed.
What is faster transaction Bitcoin or Ethereum ? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1928749.0)

Ethereum was created to fix the weakness of bitcoin, and I think it's natural that people prefer quicker and cheaper transactions. So I think in the future, ethereum will record more transactions.

Ethereum chose difficult to store operational problems. If the problem requires memory and CPU, the ideal hardware is actually an ordinary computer. This makes Ethereum's workload proving to be anti-application-specific integrated circuits, and can result in a more decentralized security distribution than bitcoin, which is controlled by specialized hardware-controlled mining.

I think I would agree that Ethereum's platform is much better than bitcoin but I think bitcoin's platform would find a way to upgrade it's existing platform to be able to completely competitive with ETH. I am assuming the the btc team would look into it and do the necessary innovations to make bitcoin still the leading crypto coin in the market.

Based on transaction speed or other usability ethereum is better . But while comparing bitcoin ethereum based projects hacked several time . Parity hack one of the biggest hack , then Etheredelta it gone horrible lots of investor gone panic including me . recent MEW DNS compromised again lots of panic . Overall its looks like Bitcoin is bettter and safest comparing to ethereum.

The second phase of a golden time for investing in Ethereum and Bitcoin is running out, they both are good and secured as of now. Must have to compare? Ethereum is doing good this year but perhaps Bitcoin is the winner here.

In my opinion Ethereum is faster but bitcoin is safer

I think i will choose bitcoin is more secure and more good than etherium, for now i will choose some new coins which is POS unlike the current bitcoin that POW. I dont like token too, etherium is more popular only because of smart contract and there are so many tokens under the ERC20 token which is belong to etherium.

Since Bitcoin is father of all coins , it is the most secure platform. Bitcoin had set it's standard and is not going to run anywhere.

I think the two of the coins has good technology and there are going to last for long and as far as cryptocurrencies market remains bitcoin is going to remain dominant coin and ethereum second must popular coins.  The most secure coin is still going to remain bitcoin and we are to accept this fact since nobody has been able to break it but we have had many news on how ethereum has been hacked.

Ethereum is not, and will never be a secure way to store value. Since it is turin complete, it allows for an endless amount of grey goo areas and unexplored angles for potential exploits that you do not want to have in a store of value system which should be as simple as possible, and TC does not help navigate in that direction. Smart contracts in Bitcoin will happen with sidechains.

Long term, it is yet to be seen if Ethereum has a place to be, like most altcoins. I wouldn't count on it, but then again big pockets seem to be interested in pumping Ethereum, so let's see for how long can they keep it running.

The recent dns hijack doesn't have anything to do with ethereum security as the fault lies within the server. For ethereum and bitcoin security, i think bitcoin has better security but for overall performance then ethereum is better, the hacks regarding ethereum and it's erc20 token always lies within the smart contract created by the dev.

i prefer on bitcoin, because this is the main in the cryptocurrency, even both side have a good price, i mean we need more make bitcoin feel as important asset than other coins
also in the future, if bitcoin want to be more friendly with other platform it should be more secure.

The most valuable part of the crypto money market is Bitcoin. It can not be questioned that Bitcoin is reliable. All crypto moneys went to the market with Bitcoin base. Ethereum is the second largest currency after Bitcoin as crypto money.

I think that Ethereum is a safer platform in the future. For three years of existence, this platform has confidently won the crypto market and has become as popular as the bitcoin that has won its credibility for a long 9 years.

I personally think the safer and better platform for the future is Bitcoin because it is the first bitcoin altcoin in the world and many people use this coin and so bitcoin has been received in some countries but Ethereum is also good and can be good in the future front. ETH and BTC alike have a good platform for the future, and yet I prefer Bitcoin

Both bitcoin and ethereum platforms are secure. Now all new ICO's using ethereum based ERC20 token technology for their coins and this make this platform more popular. I recommend both as some coins are eth based and some coins are bitcoin based so we require both platforms.

I think ETH and BTC are very safe.
Because if ETH and BTC had bugs, it would be exposed after such a long time.

The Etherium team is constantly updating the platform in all directions.  So I think Etherium will become even more reliable!

Although the new platform compared to ethereum bitcoin development owned but I think much better than on the bitcoin. even sure we know a lot more than the ethereum platforms using bitcoin. and to my knowledge for the security of all the same. It's just naturally more familiar with and uses the ethereum so slightly superior to ethereum.

For me in the two of them the more secure platform in the future is the company of bitcoin because they are very well known business in this industry to the investors through their excellence.

It seems to me that transactions are quite safe on both these platforms. Bitcoin's protocol is also being improved, but the number of transactions per second is very small compared to Ethereum. This summer will launch the EOS platform. They promise even more transactions per second ...

I personally can not compare between bitcoin and ethereum because both have the ability in their own field both are very big coins of the future

To be very sincere, since I started bounty hunting, I only got to use Bitcoin platform once or twice. all my transaction has always been on Ethereum platform and I believe it is same with other participants too. for me I find Ethereum platform more user friendly. I can explain the interface to someone without any problem but if you ask me about bitcoin, I don’t remember a thing. The Bottom-line is that the two cannot have the same features and diversification is good for the crypto community so that where one is lacking, the other will complement. They are both Blockchain products.

Both of them seem to be quite reliable but real situation shows that they have problems as well. So I consider that it will be better to hope for ETH but support EOS.

Ethereum is a particle added energetic than Bitcoin, on the other hand Bitcoin is the father each of currency. I design, fancy of Bitcoin as the interval lone of this revolution and maybe, whether Bitcoin was not unlettered, the coins in the existent would not be.

I think both platforms are the best and secure in the future and both are the ruling on crypto market but my vote is little more to the Ethereum because it is not expensive like Bit coin .

I think bitcoin is safer and time-tested. Bitcoin has an algorithm for increasing prices by a fixed number of coins. That is, the offer will fall, hence the price will rise. With the ethereum, it is not clear how things will be with the issue, which actually repels.

Now the bitcoin algorithm is the most secure, but the Etherium offers more opportunities for developers. Thus, it is difficult to predict in which direction their developments will move - improving security or, conversely, reducing it. I hope for the first option, I want more variability and liquidity.  ::) ::) ::)

I think that Btc will be our pioneer in the future as well, despite Eth is a very strong alternative cryptocurrency, it doesn't have enough power to beat Btc.

There is no doubt about it. Both of the coin has potential, they can perform both task. Such as doing transactions more easy and more. But the thing is what is more stable and also what is more secure. We can not really predict what will be yhe best, because both of them are performing great.

I think Ethereum will develop better in the future. Although Bitcoin is an ancient coin, I think Bitcoin always keeps old technology and does not know how to improve. Ethereum will grow with society. Advanced is more convenient and safe, so I think it will be better in the future Ethereum

I would like to say that bitcoin would still hold that spot in the future, with ethereum the network is good and is getting mass adoption but it is still not at bitcoin secure level and also there is the fact that the circulating supply of ethereum is way too much. Bitcoin has always been the best and most secure coin in the market and it will remain so for a long time to come.

In my opinion, Bitcoin and Ethereum are currently the two most reliable cryptocurrencies. These two cryptocurrencies are suitable for long-term investment. They will bring you high profits. I currently hold these two types. I am very confident in cryptocurrency :D
