Now, altcoins are competing with ethereum and not to bitcoin anymore. The best example is CARDANO. It seems that since they cant destroy the king, they are now targeting the queen and wanted ETH to beheaded. All those altcoins always claiming that they will replace either BTC or ETH where in fact, they simply following its footsteps but only limiting or avoiding the same mistake happened to ETH or BTC. By the end of the day, they are only copycats and the original will still remain on the front line. Those claimers will forever become a follower of front liners.

You are right, there are a lot of Altcoin claims to be able to surpass BTC beyond ETH，But in fact, this is just a gimmick, because so far I have not seen any Altcoin can surpass ETH and BTC, this situation may change after a long time, but not now.

I think one should be very careful putting BTC and ETH in the same basket. In my opinion BTC is many miles ahead of ETH.

That is exactly the point. All alts are copycats, more or less. It costs nothing to copy the code because it is open source. It costs very much to build a strong decentralized network. In the network lies the power.

Cryptocurrency market differs in each with Bitcoin and others altcoins. Only Bitcoin, this Bitcoin, all others are altcoin. In that case it wil not to be comparable with Bitcoin and altcoins. Bitcoin is far ahead from altcoins I thhink.

Bitcoin is far ahead from other altacoins. Because it is a lot more valuable and it is more trustworthy than other coins. From that point of view Ethereum should not be compared to Bitcoin I think.

It takes a lot of effort to replace ETH, ETH is coins that are most in interest after bitcoin.
the two coins is have great trust from investors, oh yes. building such a trust is very difficult, I am sure that there will be no altcoins that can replace Ethreum and Bitcoin at Until whenever.
I am also 100% sure if everyone here agrees with my opinion.

I don't think any kind of coin can go beyond bitcoin. Bitcoin is the real cryptocurrency. All cryptocurrencies except Bitcoin are just the imitative currency of Bitcoin. It is not worth mentioning.

I think Bitcoin is a lot ahead. And its credibility is much higher. Although many altcoins are trying to overtake Ethereum. And it was possible because cryptocurrency is on decentralized network.

it seems that the investors are creating a very serious war among the coins,  but would suggest you to not to get confused or don't take any decisions by get influence,  ever coin has it own facilities so don't judge them putting on the same basket it will cause from for all

We can see, competition in altcoin is currently very tight. As you said, that some coins claim to replace the position of the altcoin queen, Eth. In my opinion, they must work hard to shift Eth's position. Because as we know, Eth is one of the strongest coins. Even some ICOs use the Ethereum platform in their projects.

One day you wake up and see a new King.
The situation changes so fast no one can predict.

Perhaps, new coins will break out on the leading positions only in the presence of revolutionary technologies. They must be something new and unique. Differs from bitcoin and Ethereum. So far, all altcoins are similar to each other.

That will or will not happen as of now or in the near future even if they do have the newest innovation in the cryptoindustry, why? First Bitcoin is the most traded cryptocurrency in the market as of today which is used by all investors traders and hodlers. It is also the altcoins are measured in BTC and ETH not by USD and as long as users deemed BTC and ETH to be the most valued cryptocurrency it will not be replaced so altcoins that claims they will replace them will have a high mountain to climb in the cryptoindustry.

I actually still dont understand how to define the best among cryptocurrency because their visions, their features are different even under the same technology, blockchain. Bitcoin and Cardano, or Ethereum are not comparable because their uses are different. Cardano  can beat Ethereum in some aspects, but Ethereum has features that Cardano can't compete in. So tell me, which aspect to determine the best?

If that is true, their mission will not be accomplished, because no matter how ethereum falls, it will still remain in the front line. Some are thinking that ETC will replace it, but i believe there will still be corrections.

Btc and Eth could not be replaces, they are too strong for this move and moreover we don't have competetive altcoins which could do it so easy in future.

Yes all these claims will be void at initial because there is merely any coin that can compete with either BTC or ETH. These two coins have established their position. Bitcoin is the No#1 crypto currency and ETH is the No#1 altcoin in the crypto currency market.

that is true because no altcoin will be able to be crypto market leader as bitcoin. They also don’t have that popularity as ETH coins. So the claimers of the growth of these altcoins should take rest and accept that their altcoins are not as strong as bitcoin or ETH.

It’s all are fuzz. No alt coin has the ability to replace either bitcoin as crypto market leader or ETH as the most popular alt coin in the crypto currency market. This alt coins are just creating rumors about their growth but can’t perform.

no altcoin is actually competing with ETH because ETH is also an altcoin. what they have always pretended to compete with is bitcoin and it will not change and they are doing it to get pumped more because they can get more newbies to fall for their tricks and invest.

there are a group of coins that are similar and they are competing with each other. for example the privacy coins such as Monero, ZCash,.... there are many categories. one of them is platforms for smart  contract and in that category ETH is currently the most pumped coin so it is hyped up which is the reason it seemed to you people are competing with it.

There is no chance for altcoins to take over bitcoin or ethereum. Bitcoin is the king of the crypto market. if any coin is ever to takeover bitcoin then it will surely take a lot of years or maybe never. Bitcoin has been ruling the crypto world for about a decade and most of the ICOs don’t have a working product yet. Bitcoin will keep ruling and will keep going way ahead than any other altcoins.

This is a trend, the same as to say that my smartphone that I'm developing would be the killer of iPhone. And this is silly because in the end we are seeing those coins not even close to be a competitor to Bitcoin.

ETH has been to ALTcoins what Bitcoin has been to all the cryptocurrencies out there. Though ETH and other Alts are bleeding badly right now but once the market gets back it's balance, it is likely to make a good return to it's previous zone. All the old investors are still hopeful about ETH.

At the moment, you are correct. There is nothing to replace BTC for the time being, but I think there will be other alternatives to BTC in the future, because technology is developing. However, BTC has not developed and is bound by people's minds. I hope that BTC can make some changes.

I think that the altcoins that claim that they are going to replace btc or eth are those that are just looking for some cheap publicity because they know as well as we do that there is no way for their coins to achieve such a feat but they do that to try and get more people to trust and invest in their coin. I've got to say, it's being effective so far.

I see, until now all the Altcoin are depending on the price of the BTC. Therefore, crossing the BTC is a long way ahead. Meanwhile, BTC itself is constantly improving. Therefore, this is considered the driving force, is the goal to the Altcoin strive.

That's just one goal they set out to draw attention to everyone that they can beat ETH or Bitcoin. But there is no way to do it and just as you said they only copied and avoided errors such as ETH and BTC have been. Never altcoin can beat ETH or BTC, altcoin was created to do that now almost dead because it could not be done

Not only Cardano; Zilliqa and EOS are also performing well enough to replace ETH in the future. However, since a lot of ICO projects and blockchain industry is based on the proper function of Ethereum based tokens I don't think all these ALTs will stand a chance in front of ETH in the long run.

We do see posts and coins that they are the next best versions of BTC or even ETH, but all in vain. Even though it is not an impossible task, but still, we are not being blessed with such a coin, yet. Maybe in the future, but not in the present.

We have seen a lot of coins emerging in the market, claiming to be the better one than BTC. Only ETH is somewhat considered to be the better one. But still we have not seem any other coins being better than both BTC and ETH. And maybe it will take some time in the future to have a coin like that in sight, i.e. better than BTC and ETH.

From the beginning of time of the crypto market, there have been a lot of coins who are saying that they are the better coins than BTC and ETH, but so far, we have seen none and even the things that were said in th whitepaper was nowhere near it. There is still time for us to witness a coin better than BTC and ETH.

Altcoin is always a  follower of front liners.First they targeted bitcoin and now ethereum.If they always try to defeat the good ones and don't concentrate on their own then they will never gonna achieve the higher place.

I don't think the place of bitcoin and ethereum can be replaced by other coins or each other since they already got that kind of mindset among the people.But most of the project teams claims that they have better technology over bitcoin but it just only on paper so until now there is no competitors.

I agree with you, the first coins which were  on the market forever will be staying a face for cryptocurrency world. Every society takes a new currency with great difficulty. More number of people what to  have investment them money in crypto currency, prefer listening a lot form of hearsay.

Don't think that BTC will allow ETH to beat it. BTC has always been our foundation and this 'revolution' will play the negative role in crypto's development only.

I think every altcoin has its own strengths and weaknesses, other altcoins cannot replace btc or eth because they have strong fundamentals in my opinion, but there is also no way that other altcoins will replace them if btc or eth don't make good innovations

Lol looks like somebody wants to replace your mother coin. If any coins will replace BTC it will be ETH first coz no.1 they have international merchants and alot of coins are pairing on ETH, They can transact online buy and sell things using ETH.

But even ETH can't have that muc potential to replace the bitcoin in the prices because of the vast availability so they can exceed the bitcoin only in the market cap values but I don't thik people using ethereum to make payments because it also used most for the bump and dump and mother coin in trading.

I read a lot of vacuous dribble on BCT these days, but this effort is up there with the best examples.

It seems we are at peak desperation about the popping of the Ethereum bubble!

That is why altcoins are here, each of them will try to overtake btc or eth but so far im not seeing any altcoins that have prove its worth unlike btc. Though some of them are good regarding technology, we cant take out the fact that btc is the first crypto that made the world crazy.

I think that altcoins will never be better than Ethereum. All coins just want to be better than BTC and ETH but I think this will never happen to them.

Ethereum is an altcoin you muppet!

Can any altcoin really replace ethereum. Yes btc is not their match, but still ethereum will still continue to surpass them.

It seems to me that you are right only in part because old coins are good, but the market is very young and promising in terms of technology. New coins have huge opportunities for technical development - for example, sharding, which Zilliqa and Quarkchain try to realize this year! Perhaps, such new technological projects will become the basis of a new wave of technologies and will outstrip Ethereum and Bitcoin in the near future!
