why ETH cant be TOP 1 ?

today CBOE have good news for ethereum, why this year ethereum not mooning? because a lot of ICO in erc20 not success or scam..

what is good news? you can send me URL about newss?

Because it's still pegged with the bitcoin. Ethereum follows the bitcoin anytime, you can see that through the ethereum chart and how the ethereum chart is very similar to the bitcoin chart. Both are not security coin but the bitcoin is more dominance compared with ethereum that's why it can't become the number one of crypto.

Bitcoin still has enormous power so that bitcoin is very difficult to defeat. Etherum does have enormous potential, but when juxtaposed with Bitcoin, it cannot be equated. Now ETherum does have a lot of positive values, coin with the volume of transactions has a large and wide market share.

Things like this must be maintained because it is not impossible that in the future ETherum will be stronger.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but

No wallet at all. You can't say that MEW is a real wallet, can you? I tried once to install a desktop wallet for ETH and gave up.

You can't compare it with Bitcoin's blockchain, not even close. (BTC hashrate = 1.8 ExaHash vs. ETH hashrate = 3 TeraHash, data from February 2018[1])

I'll give you that. But one of the obvious reasons is block time. BTC block time = 10 minutes. ETH block time = 15 seconds.

indeed eth has a platform that is widely used by the current ico project, but not the reason eth will be number 1, eth will always be under the auspices of BTC forever, even there are still coins that can rival eth, neo and eos, someday they will approaching eth position

ETH doesn't compete with bitcoin, it's entirely different. But it is certainly the number one for smart contracts at the moment, and I expect a price increase in future.

Because a lot of factors to consider, one factor to look at is the ERC20 based tokens, and a lot of the tokens nowadays are just created to scam people, but hey many are still successful by using their platforms, but i believe Ethereum should do something to eliminate this one, what i mean is that , they would try to make some rules and regulation to make their platforms the best, because many are using it to scam people. ETH will be successful not now, but maybe later.

Bitcoin has always been the best and has great potential so I think ETH is difficult to compete with BTC,
Etherum does have great potential, but the price of ETH is still hovering on BTC,
because what I observed when BTC prices rose ethereum also went up, when BTC prices dropped ETH also come down,
Nevertheless it is not impossible, that in the future ETherum will become more popular and more superior.

I think, Because it has invisible dominance. The pressure from the psyche and the king's position from the bitcoin will be absolute. Regardless of the trend. BTC is always at the center of all concerns and big investors. ETH is very potential. but to become top 1. It needs more and the future will have the answer.

ETH will always hold the second position in the cryptocurrency market and very soon we will see the full potential.

with the current trend and consider the total supply of btc and eth. I think ETH will not be able to become top 1 in the near future. Because, bitcoin will always be invincible. Maybe the future will see many special trends. But to overcome the bitcoin, ETH needs to improve more and create balance. Many ico are running on the platform of ETH. For various reasons, it is creating an imbalance in value.

Until the end of the year, the Chicago Exchange of Options Cboe may open futures trading on the ethereum. This event will be able both to support the crypto-currency market, and to bring down the price of the ethereum. Therefore, I believe that we need to wait for this event and then make predictions about the future fate of the price of ethereum!

I think nobody can beat Bitcoin, Bitcoin is the number 1 of all coin currencies, including Ethereum will always stick to Bitcoin, so if you say Ethereum is number 1, that can't happen, because Ethereum still has a level below bitcoin.

Though ethereum is very potential and it has so many promising features and it will continue to grow and become stronger but it cannot be as potential and valuable as bitcoin because bitcoin is the oldest coin and it also controls the price of other crypto.

These 3 points are really a problematic for ethereum

I don't know how can 15 seconds blocktime can be sustainable. They are probably many simultaneous involuntary forka all the time. Doesn't it generate some kind of problem for the miners?

As eth have a so crazy blocktime maybe it's better to move to pos.i once saw Antonopoulos saying that maybe the world cannot have 2 big proof of work blockchains.

I really never heard of a good desktopwallet for ethereum.
But metamask and mobile wallets work very well

I use coinomi and it's very good.
My ledger nano works well with eth but I need mew to use tokens.. I don't like mew.. feel unsafe .

What's with the validation of best wallet?
Why compare two different networks? I don't compare any of them but both are good to me in their own perspectives.
Because Bitcoin is.

ETH has not been able to go to the moon due to negative news as well as the general market situation at the moment is still the downtrend. So wait a little longer when the market recovers, the ETH increase in the exchange rate is sure to happen, and then the ETH rate will rise very high.

You can't really compare the technology because ethereum is inferior to many platforms. Just look at the stats between NEO and ethereum. NEO is faster and cheaper with many top ICOs, and a great wallet that collects GAS tokens just by holding NEO. In saying that, I do think ethereum will rise ..

ETH is widely used by ico's and other stuffs as well as the technology is way better than btc (for me) however eth is still being dependent to btc simply because it is the origin and actually all coins do the same.

eth will indeed always be alive and will also continue to grow because ico up to this moment still has many enthusiasts. the market situation is not an obstacle

because bitcoin has a limited supply so it becomes a bone of contention, because bitcoin is the first crypto currency that was created, because the highest price among others. because all crypto currencies use blockchain technology which is the platform of bitcoin, while ETH? Its reputation is still far behind with bitcoin

I also believe in ETH but that does not mean it will go up in value, if ETH is adopted in for real life use more than any other cryptocurrency, then it will surely be top 1 in no time!

ETH looks like a pretty juicy low risk buy on the daily right now. At least to catch a decent chunk of gains.

Because eth is an altcoin that the idea was just came from bitcoin as it's hopeful that its fate will be like in bitcoin. Also bitcoin's popularity and dominance in crypto currency had just led to leave altcoins to the ground plus the fact that many had put their trust to bitcoin than any of altcoins. If eth will achieve all of these, then somehow there's a probability.

It is very difficult to compete with Bitcoin, which will always be number 1. It is much more popular among wealthy investors. But I find that number 2 is also very good and ETH is a deserved king of altcoins.

it is very simple. ETH does not have max supply. the inflation rate of etheruem is too high.

What you are failing to tell us is what makes the wallet the best, the blockchain the best, and the faster than btc, well since it has the ability to process more transactions per second than btc anyway, we can give it that. No one is disputing the fact that ETH is a good one to hold and it has a lot of prospect in the long run, but this does not mean there still cannot be room for improvement and for it to be the first, it must be ready to give us even a better one than you are trying to claim.

I am not very sure where you got good news from CBOE from, but one thing I am sure of is that ETH is still an altcoin and all altcoins still remain the same as long as they cannot really stand on their own and everything is still fixed in movement when relating to bitcoin. That alone I believe is enough to suppress it from hitting the top. Also, all these fixation of people on the top is simply based only on market cap, and it is not like it really means much anyway.

Maybe because Ethereum can't beat bitcoin for now that's why his only next to bitcoin maybe in future but ethereum is really good and we'll hope that it would be mooning by the end of this year.
