There is a big potential of TRON to soon be a big leader in the world of cryptocurrency. Some are saying this has the potential to displace
Ethereum not just in market capitalization but importantly with adoption as it is now boasting of many Dapp users.  

Recently, Justin Sun announced that #TRON smashes Dapp record with over 100k Daily Users on May 16. The crypto market is experiencing an upward trend and Dapps are not to be left behind. As it is, #TRX has just broken it own all-time high record in daily active DApp users."

Aside from this, TRON is proud to have gain partnerships with many known entities and I am sure more can be coming in the next few months. Here is the list for now:

#TRON Partnerships of 2019:
@Opera - Web Browser
@Travalacom - Travel
@Swarm - Tokenization
@ALSassociation - ALS
@Tether_to - USDT-TRON
@CoinFlipATM - TRON ATMs
@HuobiGlobal - #TRX Derivatives
@BitGo - Custody
@BinanceBCF - Charity
@DACCblockchain - AI

With this as the developmental backdrop, it is easy to conclude that TRON is the rising star. I am looking forward for the possibility of a good and healthy rivalry between Vitalik Buterin and Justin Sun.

Are you a TRON believer?

A healthy competition would be  good between TRON and Ethereum but I don't think TRON would displace Ethereum any time just yet. If there will be also a list of partnerships that Ethereum had just attained then I think you'll know what I mean. :)

no i'm not a tron believer, but i'am is an ethereum believer
i never think if tron will displace ethereum in the future my friend
in my mind ethereum is much better than tron in all aspects  ;)

I would only say Tron is big and actively (trying) to compete with ethereum in the blockchain space but I need to see Tron do more work in areas of Ethereum strong hold, only then can it compare. Partnership news are now old school for Ethereum

i like the words about partnership news are now old school for ethereum
this mean tron is behind the ethereum for now, right ?
maybe need more time for tron to compete with the kings of altcoins called ethereum

Ethereum is one of the most recognized crypto like bitcoin but TRON is not like that so even if got some better usability now the chances of replacing is not there.

ICO also big positivity for the ethereum so until ICO running ethereum will rule the altcoins.

Boasting about the partnership just made Tron look like a start up project wanting to get some attention in my eyes.
I think what's currently making tron a top 10 or 20 is just the marketing effort of their CEO, not much about the technology. 

From is really a good altcoins and I read on the news that its transactions so far beats ETH and neo combine I guess but still ETH have better support overall , tron is the king of dapps I accept that but every other things else belongs to ETH

I consider the replacement of Ethereum, in loud words, competition, attempts to reach the level, everything is great, but if we look at the value of the coins, the question will immediately disappear, both projects are good and continue the competition, it will only push the market towards development, queue will have a positive impact on all cryptoindustry

Even if there's a new system called IEO now, I think ETH will still be on top of all altcoins because it continues to improve and they are not letting any competition to ruin their place. ICO is a big thing yes, and i hope they will be more active with a real project. TRON is just a coin who keeps aiming on top but for sure it will be hard for TRON to replace ETH.

Ethereum is still far ahead from TRON, Tron has a big potential though but to displace ethereum? Nope, it's possible but not now, maybe it takes years to displace ethereum. Just let Tron developed first, no need to displace this displace that narration. Both Tron and Ethereum are good, no need to displace each other. Let the crypto users decide.

I have been following TRON for sometimes now and the coin have been doing great since it lunch, most especially it partnership with other entities such as opermini and flipcoin which I have practically used. But to say it going displace ethereuem simply because TRON is at it all time high and having high market capitalization. Let ask our self this questions how many other altcoins are running on TRON blockchain as we have on ethereum blockchain.

I don't know if you are a Tron believer or enthusiast. But for me its not good to compare Tron to Eth due to, honestly I'm a Eth fanatic and its been miles away before Tron can surpass the stability of ERC20(ETH). Though, I also believe Tron is one of the good altcoins that good hold in a long term, I cannot deny that. Particularly Tron platform was good to use for the traders too.

by continuing TRON-based Dapps development that will create a good ecosystem. but I am not a TRON believer, news is indeed easy to spread, being a part of business promotion concept. I am looking forward, what Dapps will boost TRON market price sales. if TRON is really serious about developing Dapps it will make takes a long time to exceed the ethereum achievement.

For a fact, I'm really impressed with the developments of TRON, Justin is really pulling the force. But for now, Ethereum still supersedes TRON. Nobody knows, probably in future, TRON will be at the lead. I was amazed to see TRON among the coins I can use to pay for WINDSCRIBE subscription.

There is no doubt that Tron is waxing stronger in the crypto space but irrespective of those development from the Tron foundation I don't think it can displace ethereum anytime soon. Tronix still have a long way to go in order to displace ethereum.

It seemed impossible and would not happen, indeed Tron was developing and there was progress but not as popular as the trusted Etheteum.
I often hear news that there are coins or other Altcoins that will replace Ethereum or any reason that ultimately no one will replace them.

Those partnerships only help pump and dump Tron's price.. They can't make Tron as great as Ethereum. Vitalik only needs this achievement to be superior than Sun: Ethereum Blockchain as a Service now on Azure (https://azure.microsoft.com/es-es/blog/ethereum-blockchain-as-a-service-now-on-azure/). It's the most solid proof to show the establishment as well as reliability of Ethereum.

And tell me which of this partnership is real and good for both sides? Maybe only partnership with DACC only because they need this partnership.
Do not forget that Justin Sun is talking about partnership even it is not a real partnership.

At the moment, there are not many projects running on TRX platform, The number of TRX is also very large compared to ETH. Need more time to evaluate!

I really hope TRON soon becomes an important coin transacted millions of times for real use. But statements like displacing Ethereum would be an absurd proposition. Crypto industry still has a huge void where more coins can have exponential growth and TRON doesn't have to compete with Ethereum to grow. Not at least for a decade.

A few partnership is not going to make TRON a superior alternative to Ethereum. It would take a huge effort to dethrone Ethereum. Specially when Ethereum has a more active development roadmap than Tron.
And as of being handsome, Vitalik Buterin is much more handsome than Justin Sun.
Just study and compare some of their tweets, you'll get the picture.

I think about Dapps, Tron has an impressive growth, I think in this respect Trx overcomes ETH is only a matter of time.

Ethereum has 16m volume daily which is too high compared to Tron so I think it is long long way to go before ETH can replace Tron.

And there is a big news about Ethereum recently and there is a big incoming adoption so it is hard to say that TRON can replace ETH.

I think TRON was a good coin,,, it had some great ideas and they were willing to try out a lot of new things, like the partnership they had and now I see a few gambling related ventures but come on,,, how can it displace Ethereum? People talked about the flippening a lot, the potential for X and Y to replace A and B but you know, these things take a lot of hard work and time. They do not just happen.

Ethereum has gone through a lot that  TRON had not.

Ethereum being the pioneer of side chain, smart contracts, dapps and now a new form of POS would remain a leading crypto currency in the coming future while the copycat coins built after seeing the success of Ethereum still has a long way to reach where Ethereum is now. And by the time they do it, Ethereum would have further evolved.
Ethereum has one of the largest community of developers and users who are regularly testing and using it towards perfection.

this is more like the battle of centralized powers over an arbitrary rank on coinmarketcap with their capitalization manipulation stuff and with all the pumping attempts they are doing these days to go higher while the entire market is dumping both of these tokens.

in any case i don't think there will be any replacement for ETH for a long time because the powers behind it have a lot of money to waste and the hype has not completely died yet.

I think that the negative in relation to Ethereum will calm down and we will again see a rapid increase in the price of this coin. So as not to say, Ethereum was and remains the most advanced cryptocurrency!

I'm a holder of Tron actually but I never felt that Tron can replace ETH or even rival it because ETH has a large community instead the community of Tron. Most likely if there is newcomer who come and intend to invest in altcoin they will look at ETH first because its position already supported instead they choose Tron. If you will compare of the both coin partner, you should list also the partner of ETH in order to many users here can compare what is the best actually to be choose for long term investment.

I think tron isn't going to displace ethereum. Because ethereum is so high standard that tron has not yet gone. Tron should undergo further development so that it can compete to ethereum coin.

I would not compare two projects on the basis of the personalities behind them, but in what these projects have achieved. I don't know if Tron will replace ETH in the future or not but I know I have read similar statements with other coins and, until now, that hasn't happened. Anyway, Tron community should not think about displacing other coins but in following their own way.

I'm not a Tron believer but I'm an ethereum believer but this kind of competition is healthy for the market. People will go crazy of choosing and tuning in the competition between the two. Justin Sun and Vitalik Buterin has their tweet wars and I think it's getting the attention of beginners and old investors.

That volume really makes ETH a top altcoins and I don’t see any threat right now aside from XRP. There will be more coins to beat for TRON before placing next to ETH so its not possible for now. ETH makes a big announcement, its price pumps higher that can continue up to the real bull market. TRON have to take all the challenge or else, it will be failed and I think the goal is not to be a top altcoins but to provide good services to all the crypto enthusiast.

I am agree with you. Tron have big achievement and so ethereum. Every project have different purpose and goal and i think both project have a good product. Tron have good marketing team and how to handle problem, etherem have good developers team too and many people think ethereum is good for bussiness purpose and tron for gaming purpose.

These partners will help Tron grow. And in this case the price of Tron will increase. Nevertheless, I do not think that this price increase will be enough to make Tron pass Ethereum. Because there is a serious difference between Ethereum and Tron. That's why Tron needs more partnership, and more update and years to pass Ethereum.

TRON replaces ETH? It seems difficult for me to believe easily. I think it's unlikely that this will happen, Ethereum has a much better popularity. I only believe that TRON is one of the altcoins that also has brilliant achievements, but not to replace Ethereum. It took a long time for us to believe. THANKS.

with all that said i still believe that eth is stronger than tron and will crush it one day or another, eth has establish its solid foundation and also doing its job to earn more partnerships.

TRON is good if start partnership with big company but Ethereum much better, I don't know why

Hahaha, I laughed so hard when I read the last statement you made In your reply, you said in your mind ethereum is better than tron in all aspect, what you just meant is that ethereum is better than tron just in your mind and that is not true in real life, well I have studied both Blockchain and I can see that they both have great potentials but the one that would be more relevant is the one that would be committed to constant upgrade of the system as new thing are being discovered.

I am a strong believer in tron and I do also believe in Justin Sun, who is young, energetic, creative and dynamic. I am sure Justin Sun will bring the coin to its new height in the field of cryptocurrency as he has forged partnerships with various organisations and has done many efforts in this regard. But I am also strong believer in Ethereum. I cannot compare between the two king coins.

"TRON to soon displace ETHEREUM?", absolutely NO, becasue there's also partnership from other works of life, that equally partners with Ethereum. Ethereum has a workable product behind it, so, it will take TRON 2(two) decade, before you will see such competitiveness and i doubt that, becasue the more TRON team work harder, the more ETHEREUM team do likewise. Go back and check the two project before your conclusion. 

There is nothing impossible in the crypto world, "Tron replaces Ethereum" might happen, but it will really take a very long time in my opinion, remember Ethereum is the favorite altcoin of many people, regardless of its shortcomings.

I think will take a lot of time to that happen and even after more time no one can say that a coin will replace Ethereum and be more used than Ethereum for creating smart contracts.

The fact that many projects run inside Ethereum's ecosystem is a feat itself and TRON should do whatever it takes to overtake that achievement but until then Ethereum is enjoying currently as the platform of choice for most crypto projects due to its very active development - a challenge for TRON team indeed. :)

Tron is an awesome crypto currency, because people are actively investing in this coin and TRON is moving the whole industry towards the mass adoption. For example the last partnership with Opera, so I also see a big threat for ETH in this coin.

The picture you posted in OP seem not fair to Vitalik, you should know that yurself just when you look at it. Of all pictures of Vitalik, you really have to pick that one?

AS of the project they've develop, ETH had already reach a long way than TRX, there is no way RON can displace ETH, we see tron to be a good investment and there are already dapps with it but if you have to compare both, ETH had much milestones achieved.

We are used to making unrealistic statement, let us face the reality, no altcoins can replace ETH for now,there is no doubt that TRON is a good project.

I think the mistake you are making is thinking that one cryptocurrency is capable of dominating the entire market. Right now Tron has proved to be very good at powering gaming Dapps which require lots of fast cheap transactions. Ethereum is neither cheap or fast. It is however much better for raising money, something that does not necessarily require speed or low cost.

I obsalyutno agree. Each cryptocurrency takes its place. Yes, the price of the throne may increase. But on adne applications they are not going to leave.

Nope, that will not going to happen, TRON can't dethrone ethereum. Yes, I must say that development of TRON is very fast and the way Justin Sun handles the marketing is impressive. However in the other side, Vitalik is quiet developing his ethereum platform even more powerful than the last one. Once we see ethereum 2.0 fully-working then Ethereum will be heard to beat.

No!

Even one of the insider of NEM told me that Tron codes is not that good.  Oh well if you asked if I am a believer of tron market being manipulated I would say YES!  Anyway, day trading does not concern this.  It concern about how one can make a profit trading a token everyday.  I would trade this coin for profit but would not hodl.

TRON and ETH has different teams and I just wonder why TRON will going displace ETH. Anyway, the good thing now is that ethereum is getting strong and no coins that could beat it for now even the OP has speculated about TRON.

Good luck on TRON OP, Hoping for the best on holding it. I do believe on it but I do more believe on ETH as a good altcoin for bitcoin.

Seeing some time ago TRON did have extraordinary developments. TRON is also likely to replace Ethereum, but it must take more time to replace the role of ethereum. I realized that these two projects were indeed very good and people were aware of that. In the future, I think this will happen. Tron will replace ethereum.

Why is it every time a new coin is coming or emerging, people are in a hurry to post that this is the new Ethereum and this is going to replace Ethereum, if you are a bag holder of those coins stop maligning Ethereum and let your coin hit the number 3 spot, then we can talk of the competition.

I believe coinmarketcap even though people believes their opinions regarding the plus minus. Like, everything in cryptocurrency here is based from the coinmarketcap.

I really like ETH. In order to overthrow ETH, I thought it was impossible. Almost all pairs have ETH presence. and ETH also have their own development campaigns.

It still too far for Tron to replace ethereum because of Tron still a new coin which needs to develop and grow for the future. I am sure that Tron can increase higher, but as I said before, Tron needs time to give power to the project, so the price rises higher. Ethereum gets a good position at the cryptocurrency while Tron still needs to improve the volume on the market, but the chance for Tron to increase the position will wide open.

We need to wait for the update of Tron, and we hope that if Justin was really serious with the project, then he needs to give something at the market so it will trigger the price to increase higher. Ethereum still at the number 2 in the CMC and Tron was at number 11, so Tron needs to be patient to compete with the other coins before Tron can compete with ethereum.

According to the chart, this coin looks very good. To my shame, I confess, I do not know what TRON is. But discussions from time to time force me to research this coin.
Good fundamental data combined with good TA can lead to the purchase of this coin.

But even in this case, it is unlikely to surpass the ETH in the near future. This is similar to comparing BTC with some large altcoin.

Competition between certain types of cryptocurrency, is the engine of their further development and improvement of functionality. So justin san, let him try. I still do not see any real chances for Tron to beat Ethereum. Ethereum's capitalization is now $ 25.5 billion, while TRX is just 1.83 billion. The price of ethereum is now $ 240, and the TRX is just two cents. So while their external data are not comparable. And what will happen in the future - we'll see.

Indeed, but for the near future I don't think it can. because the platform from ethereum is still widely used by the new ProJeck project and also the ecosystem of this platform is also very large. to be able to replace it in the near future is impossible to happen.

Interesting. I noticed tron blockchain activities is already showing up on blocktivity:
https://blocktivity.info

Well, it doesn't look like a true blockchain to me. To make matters worse, they are partnering with Centralized companies. This is unsustainable way to run a blockchain in my opinion. His partnership should be with trustless blockchain/decentralized platforms.  Partnership shouldnt even be necessary on trustless blockchains .

I do not think that the Tron can replace Ethereum. Ethereum is much more popular than TRON. Moreover, the popularity of TRON is based on advertising and marketing. I do not think that this is normal.

but if Tron really has a big partner or plans to replace ethereum it might be possible, but for me ethereum is still the leader of the altcoin on the market and in the ico project section. I believe that ethereum is better and will remain the leader of the ico project in the future.

If Ethereum does not switch to pos this year, I'm afraid all the activity and application development will go to other blockchains, such as eos and tron.

especially now that Ethereum has improved quite well, I'm sure if this will make investors more interested in Ethereum so that the value will continue to increase.
so it's very difficult for other coins to replace Ethereum even though it's Tron. because Ethereum already has a large community so it will be difficult to be replaced by another coin.

You can't develop some apps on tron platform which can be done on ethereum. EOS looks like it is a corporate owned Blockchain. I don't think it's a good idea to heavily rely on this. Proof of stake is not very secure compared to proof of work.

There are quite a few really good coins, but the assertions that they will replace Ethereum don't touch me at all. For me, Ethereum is beyond the competition. It develops, many projects are based on it. He is really good.

I think that this is unlikely. Ethereum now has many large partnerships. I think that TRON will find it difficult to achieve these results. In order to surpass Ethereum, you need to be even better than Ethereum.

Tron can just give ethereum a fight for who's gonna be next to bitcoin,  but cannot displace ethereum,  so many projects had tried it and they failed,  a good example is Neo,  moreover ethereum has lots of projects build on it platform and has lots of pair on exchanges which tron does not have

Tron price still at the lowest price and cannot compare with ethereum. Tron needs more time before the price can increase even for just $5, and it will not easy to increase the price. But Tron has a big chance to become larger than the other coins, and we know that in the cryptocurrency, there will get a chance for every coin to increase.

well that's a problem we need to understand that if we compare in terms of price it seems impossible for Tron to take part of ethereum. basically every coin does have the opportunity to be the best, but we in the crypto market so who will determine depending on how the developer in managing their project gets better. including Tron and ethereum

Are you sure? Currently, Tron is even lower than EOS, Stellar and Cardano. if TRX wants to replace ethereum, he must defeat the other challengers first. so the point is it's too fast to say that Tron can beat ethereum. even when belief in ethereum decreases, it is still not possible.

I also agree that at this moment Byron is one of the best platform available in the market. But it's hard to digest that tron will replace ethereum. Maybe it can but not this fast. Ethereum and tron both are very good as platform. And in some point tron is technically better than ethereum. Still ethereum always hold the first platform position. Not even tron in this market nthere is many coin available which is better than ethereum still it's hard foe them to take the place. At this moment ethereum is the most popular band most used platform based token. And tron is just starting it's run. But yeah many project mainly blockchain bgames and gambling dapps choose tron over anything. So yeah tron have a chance but still it's hard for tron to replace a token like ethereum.

yes you're right, before Tron defeated ethereum they should beat other competitors first. I admit that Tron is good, but the support from the community is still low compared to ethereum. ethereum is great because they have very generous investors, they always trust the project even when the market falls.

That's right, we agree that Tron is a good coin and this growth continues to increase, but not to replace Ethereum because all coins have a different system. This often happens when someone compiles about Alt that will win Ethereum in the future but Ethereum is too strong. I don't really understand the philosophy of every coin, but I hope Altcoin will continue to grow and produce quality projects.

ETH and TRON, both very good coins in cryptocurrency.
ETH is far more popular than TRON and ETH in second place and TRON in 11th place is currently at Coinmarketcap.
the position at CMC does not always prove that the higher the position the better but also proves that the trading volume of ETH is greater and more attractive to people.

No way, I don't think tron will ever replace ethereum, but as for dapps tron is growing so fast and it can become really good competitor to ethereum, but it won't beat it...

I will tell you this will not happen. In fact, the project is very similar to ETH, but the technology is significantly inferior, especially since ETH is a top token on the basis of which most of the market tokens are launched and the total capitalization is much higher than that of the TRON.

White Paper plagiarism during the ICO, stolen files from ethereum project... at the same time, too ambitious plans. Be that as it may, the tron is simply incomparable with the ether. This is a chinese fake, successfully hit with the help of hype.
But I would not be surprised if this ever happens. Because everything is possible in crypto.

The quality of a project or the value of a coin is not in the appearance of the CEO or developer, rather it is in the technology and idea behind it.
If Tron would replace or displace Ethereum, it would have happened long time ago.
If that is not the case, Tron will be close to Ethereum in ranking, which is not happening.

In the crypto space, I will say competition is what keeps most projects going which is also okay. Now taking a look at ETH and TRON, although the competition is good enough but I would never imagine Tron replacing ETH anytime anyday owing to the efforts the team Is making to ensure the blockchain remains scalable.

I don't think this will ever come to fruition. Many projects has claimed they are better than ETH and yet ETH still here proving everyday that they have what it takes to remain the king of altcoins, through the Introduction of outstanding features etc. 
Tron is a good project, but can't be compared with Ethereum on the long run

ethereum is still used by more people than tron. as long as that is so, i do not think that tron can pass ethereum so easily. ethereum grows up through icos and tron also needs something to grow up and to avoid ethereum.

Wow if this is news that cannot be accounted for. I don't believe that a TRON-like coin can replace that already great eth. The trust that is built by the community to trust eth is already very large if it is compared with the public trust in TRON. I think this is just a joke. In my opinion, TRON cannot possibly replace eth especially in the near future. In the near future what will be the most potential is bitcoin and eth so it is very difficult for TRON to penetrate the eth defense.

Vitalik will always be in my heart, he makes a quality product, so we wait so long for all the novelties, in contrast to everyone else.

We are in the competition, XRP has dethroned last year for sometimes and the same thing that it possibly is happening again even there is a huge number of ETH users than of TRON. It will come into the situation that many investors have picking up TRON that time making a step over ETH but ETH does also to retain its place after. This is how the competition flows, support is what they needed.

Well, Sun is more handsome, but ethereum is better for me. I've never used tron and as for ethereum I always use it for everyday transactions. i repay debts, I transfer money to invest in IEO, for trading on exchanges and so on

I like TRON, but I believe the Ethereum. I can't see any possibility for the TRON to displace the Ethereum. Ethereum is far far better than TRON in every section. Before Ethereum TRON needs to surpass the LTC, XRP, EOS, BCH and even BNB! I don't think TRON has that potential to displace even the BNB!

Yes, I do agree with you. TRON needs to mention their new partners when Ethereum doesn't care about the partnerships. Ethereum was the big revolution in the crypto platform, there is not another platform like the Ethereum's! ETH made easy for the new project to come in blockchain network! For me, TRON is a kid in front of Ethereum  ;D

I admit that TRON is behind the great platform. But, replacing ethereum is far from reality. Ethereum had already proven its worth. A lot projects here were built under ethereum blockchain. Thus, displacing ethereum from its position is hard to do.

Yes it was somewhat partial to TRON but I guess almost everybody in the community know the real story that TRON still lags behind Ethereum in almost all aspects of the project with the exception that TRON's CEO is constantly over hyping it.

Every time there's a new promising new coin the target has always been Ethereum, it used to Bitcoin but since the gap is too wide and Bitcoin is too huge to dethroned, they picked Ethereum because it was displaced by XRP or Ripple but it was for a very short period of time.

Of course, I believe in the Tron. The project that really work. But can he bypass the ethereum in the future? This will show only the time and the desires of developers to tell more about the project, as Vitalik did, traveling around the world.

I can't hold back my laughter. Comparing TRX with ETH is like comparing the military of Somalia with that of Russia. TRX will never overtake ETH and even the TRX promoters know this fact. For people like Justin Sun, TRX is just a medium to get himself rich. Let him first settle his issues with Lucien Chen and the other developers, who were thrown out of the TRON project.

Yes this is simple method here. There is no doubt that TRX team trying to establish their token very much and i think at the same time ETH team can not sit in chair. They must be work behind it as it in 2nd position in CMC market. So i don't think that TRX can bit ETH ever.

That's really a laughable thing making a comparison of trx with ethereum. What we have experienced till date with ethereum and tron were entirely big in terms of growth percentage. Ethereum with its smart contract platform has made a marvelous contribution while trx platform is followed by very few projects. There is continued development, but it isn't that effective as ethereum.

The competition of TRON, Ethereum, and EOS is healthy for the cryptocurrency world. These these three are really competing much to become king of smart contracts and dexentralized applications. TRON has already improved in terms of the bumber of transactions compared to ETH. But, ETH would still be the number 1 altcoins.

I think this partnership is correct. However, the tron is likely to be in good condition in the future. However, it is not possible to cross ETHEREUM. ETHEREUM’S position in the market is far better than the tone.

Both are good coins, both have good team, but one is far better and it is Ethereum.
Since this year, the crypto space has seen many amazing features ETH team is working on as well as releasing thus ETH blockchain keeps getting better while the platform keeps growing valuable.
I don't think there is any altcoin that can displace ETH.

To begin with, the two coins are unique in their own way which have made them valuable and worth holding. The team also, is trying their best to keep their competitive advantage, but yet ETH still keeps all other altcoins at edge.
ETH is the number 1 in terms of altcoins owing to the phases it has pass through and still passing through to ensure their is an efficient and scalable blockchain. Thus, ETH can't be displaced by Tron.

Perhaps the project is very promising and promising,it has a great future,and most importantly it develops a team and a specialist who already before this project has achieved worldwide fame as a powerful it specialist,developer, etc., so it is clear that the project has a strong weight,and popularity and fame!

How can Tron displace ETH when it is yet to have a taste of what ETH has passed through in recent years.
Just like Bitcoin, Ethereum has passed through various stages which has ended up enhancing the team who then transfers the knowledge to their platform. Since this year ETH team has been working on ways to make their platform more scalable so as to serve users well.
Also, there is no doubt that Tron is a good project too, but I don't think it can displace Ethereum anytime soon.

You could have posted all the links that will verify all your post but I don't see any link like Opera partnership you have to post the link about the partnership and all the other sources to justify these so-called partnerships, where for me is just to hype the coin and create awareness.

I think that ethereum will never be displaced, but, of course, healthy competition in the market is always good. Now three strong projects are competing in this area - tron, eos and ethereum.
Also, this competition is good because you can make good money on it. ;D

Do not think at present something like this is going to happen or at least for next year can be rest assured that ETH will remain the best altcoin if want to stay invested in crypto currency . So do not ignore ETH for TRX else you may not make money .

I also agree I don't think that it would ever replace ETH.
I don't think that ETH wouldn't let that happen and it is not just Tron who could get partnership all of the alt-coin could do it too specially ETH.
Even if we like it to happen we shouldn't be just one sided when it comes to investment and we should also consider the potential of other crypto.

Why not consider the competition between the best smart contract provider? Ethereum and EOS, then consider how many altcoins they've helped produced that really helped the market to achieve the best that it can be. In that case, we are looking on a much wider view of the positive implication of these 2 great altcoins.

I seriously doubt it maybe it can replace xrp.

Ethereum is the best Altcoin so it is not easily replaced by other Altcoin.
today many coins move well but that doesn't mean they will surpass Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Ethereum can rise higher and higher.
so use Ethereum because it will benefit you, TRX will also benefit you, so take advantage of both of them as your opportunity.

No one will dispute the fact that Tron is a promising coin with a wide range potentials. However, saying it will displace ETH soon may not be too feasible. Let not forget, the team behind the ETH project isn't sleeping too. Always as active as ever before. If this then be, definitely, they will know they have to bring in high standards to wade off competitors such as Tron.

Tron CTO currently left with reasons that Tron isn't 100% decentralized right? Who knows if it's true as it is a big blow to Tron. Ethereum on the hand has shown its level of decentralization which all have seen as well as their constant effort to ensure a scalable and efficient blockchain.
What am trying to drive at is, ETH has shown very high level of advancement and growth since it's inception and thus it will be entirely difficult for Tron to displace it.

well I am ethereum believer and I don't think tron will displace ethereum because ethereum is more popular than tron, but these two are good altcoins good for long term investment.

not really true, every coin must have a chance to grow up, but I think Ethereum still the strong one after Bitcoin. Tron is good coin and have good probability to rise in this bull run.

yes, i heard about this before If CTO of tron left, but i forgot the link
so, why people believe if tron will displace ethereum, when their CTO leaving his project, wich mean didn't believe with tron right ?

i like Tron and also like ethereum. both of them are currently in my wallet, the two coins have given me enough profit.
but if i have to choose between the two, i choose ethereum as the number one coin that i favor and the second coin is tron.

i think ethereum can't be replaced by Tron, Tron is still far below ethereum. it takes quite a long time for tron to replace ethereum.

I agree, it really takes a long time for Tron if he wants to defeat ethereum. What you said above is of course I fully agree, because ethereum is certainly the first choice. I'm not saying that Tron is bad, but for now certainly ethereum still dominates when compared to Tron.

I think it's more profitable and more potential for eth because it's really nice for the eth's project and it's a bigger community so it's better to have it and can not change eth's tron ​​if you look at the price of eth in April too cheap the price of eth and now the price eth is very expensive and I can say that this investor's profit was great when he bought eth in april because of the bitcoin's price uplifts the owner of altcoins with potential because the price of altcoins has also increased, so it's a big thing for investors who have lost their money or huge losses in the holding of altcoins.

I don't think any coin will exactly replace ethereum, coins do not displace each other that way, they basically make other coins less useful. For example I honestly believe that ethereum is a much much better coin than tron, however what tron can do plus what eos can do plus what neo can do and all other ones combined makes ethereum not unique and makes it less valuable.

So, one coin is not better than the other when all coins get together all coins can dethrone any coin at all. Except bitcoin of course, bitcoin is the king of the coins. If you want the dethrone xrp you can, same with eth, same with ltc, same with any coin, all you have to do is focus on bunch of other smaller coins that can do one part of what that coin does and you can get equal shares of that one coins parts.

I would remove tron out of the competition due to the technicality matter.  If Tron able to recruit a competent developer then that is another side of the story.  As of now,  Tron is no way can replace ETH because of the  fact that  Tron is just a mere copy paste of several existing cryptocurrency code, the reason why it has lots of bugs.  Tron already have the  marketing, it just need a better developer to compare with ETH.

Im not sure about that. The usage of TRX coin and tokens is not good, only for betting platforms or ponzi-like dapps or something like that.
While the ETH token is still being used by many startup company who want to rising funds, ICO or IEO.
To replace ETH, TRX will need something to gain massive adoption in crypto sphere.

TRON cannot be compared with ethereum, moreover it will replace, the current increase in tron is much influenced by speculation, pump scheme and justin tron controversy on various social media.

Absolutely not. Tron is way behind Ethereum in market capitalization and though it has some popular gaming apps it lacks the corporate partnerships that Ethereum has. As soon as Ethereum implements proof of stake it will solidify its spot as among the very top cryptocurrencies. I can see Cardano possibly posing a threat to Ethereum in the long run, however.

As we can see right now tron has so many partnership which will make them one of the best company to invest this year, it is recommended by me to invest on this project because they have a bright future ahead base on their performance today but we surely not know what will gonna happen with the other company as well so we can't really say which one is going to bloom.

TRON has become a hype coin, it's not one of my favorites now and I don't believe it will displace ETH.
ETH has been very stable on its position, the trading volume is huge and more popular that TRON in any angle, I can see TRON will be displace
but altcoins lower to its ranking now as there are more coins that has an aggressive development compared to TRON.
Hype is what made TRON at its standing now and I believe it will not hold in the long run.

Ethereum is much better than TRON and that is ture.
Ethereum is most popular based platform to other project with erc-20.
TRON is a good coin too but not yet ready to overtake Ethereum, if Tron want to overtake it that mean tron must in seccond place in trading volume.
too soon to displace Ethereum is really right.

Even though Tron is now in a good position, many people still believe in ethereum and ethereum still have a good position in crypto. it's only a matter of time whether or not it can tron shift ethereum or not.

Noo, Tron will never replace Ethereum, because Tron is a shitcoins with a shit CEO called Justin Sun. Never believe in this project and don't advice to invest in it.

Aside that TRON partnership with series of companies doesn't mean it will dethrone ETH because the reputation and the intercommunication-ship built by ETH means they really care about the crypto sphere not just to make money. However, the crypto user will only respect TRON for taking crypto to another level but they will never see it than ETH.

Tron coin has no chances to outrun ethereum by any indicators. I regard this coin as very promising, however, he is still very far from ethereum. It lags far behind ethereum both in price and in the level of capitalization, although it surpasses ethereum in some functional indicators. In the long run, these coins can compete with each other.

If we are talking in 5 years timeframe i think not really,tron still has alot to develop to displace ethereum as 2nd biggest cryptocurrency in the market.But if we are talking 5 years or longer i think tron will be more better in longer term of investing

We can already judge now, TRON is not performing well in the past 3 months while ETH is doing a decent job with its price pump.

We can easily tell the difference.

with this, it can be concluded that eth potential is certainly better than Tron. besides, I think people tend to choose ETH compared to tron, based on functions and others. besides, the development of eth prices is also faster than that of tron. well, to be honest there are some coins that I think are better than tron, but that can't replace eth position.

To take over and displace Ethereum need more than 5 years. Tbh i only saw hype and hype on this Tron project, and even the price of tron is still far from the ethereum price. It's hard to beat ethereum, even the old popular project that said to beat ethereum still cant do that.

As im really big fan of Ethereum , it won't happen i would say :) Look how clever is Vitalik alone , he can build things we can't still imagine even without team :) Im not saying Tron will never replace Ethereum , but for few years im 100% sure it will not . There is too many projects already out there that preffer Ethereum under Tron . Look even facebook rumours says that they started to work with Ethereum blockchain :)

I don't rule out the possibility. Tron has recently established itself as a very promising project with its own platform. After TRON acquired Bittracker prices on this coin is very greatly increased. But this cannot be said about Ethereum. For a very long time Ethereum does not take any coordinated actions on its project. And the Ethereum 2.0 we have to wait a very long time.

I think there is pretty much zero chance of Tron displacing ETH in the near future. Sure it may happen several years down the line, but at the moment and for the foreseeable future ETH remains far and away the best smart contract platform. Potential competitors are just that - potential. A lot of the problems that ETH has faced and overcome have been due to its wide adoption. Most other coins haven't been battle-tested in the same way, and whilst they may look good in theory, they have yet to offer much evidence.

It's not about who is more handsome. Justin makes a whole lot of noise and he's usually more concerned about the price of his coins than its development. Vitalik on the other hand is always pushing for Ethereum development and I'm certain there is no way Tron will displace Ethereum.

TRON will win an unconditional victory on Ethereum. As TRON cares about his community and offers a variety of products. That is, TRON has more pricing factors.

Honestly i’m not a Tron believer at all. And i don’t think i will ever be. I agree that there is a potential of Tron, it might grow in future, it’s fine. The strenght of ethereum in crypto market has already proven, so there is no way that Tron to displace Ethereum.

It will be very hard for tron to take the place from ethereum, i think it will take more than 5 years from now. Everything is possible in crypto, honestly i really like both of this coin and i hope this coin will be more bigger than now.

It seems to me that this is all fables.  To just scare ethereum.  But as for me, Tron still needs to try very well to take the place of ethereum.  Ethereum is a very popular coin, it is not so easy to beat.

I agree, I believe OP is just shilling.  Now that tron lost one developer, I wonder how they can move their improvement to cope up with ethereum.  It is a big loss when TRON CTO quits and decided to create its own version of "TRON".

yes, i also think so. ethereum is still superior compared to TRON. and ethereum also has very large active users. maybe this could also be one reason why TRON can't beat Ethereum.

TRON is good, but when compared to Platform ethereum, I think it's still too fast.

This statement may be too fast and as I see that many people think that Tron cannot replace Ethereum at this time.
Overall Tron and Ethereum are both good, I didn't explain in detail but Ethereum is too strong because we all know that Tron is still not strong enough to replace King Altcoin.

I do not think so, yes the currency is sophisticated and the boss has good relations, but I think it's hard to beat the currency of the  ETHEREUM
Because I think the  ETHEREUM will develop

I do support the competition between these two and i think eth developers have been much more active now perhaps due to this competition in the market but your thread title is a bit sarcastic in my view it is like comparing horses with donkeys, im saying so because i still think that eth is way superior and has no comparison with other chains as of yet.

anyone would think so. both may be good but comparing the two is a big mistake at the moment. TRON is a platform that has become normal if he is not compared to ethereum. both platforms have their respective advantages. so, but when viewed overall, ethereum is still the best

There is absolutely no much argument about their technology as they have one of the best technology and Idea in the market but no matter the technology they have, it still would not be compared to ethereum and may never be able to grow as much as ethereum would in future, most especially now that they are having internal crisis which led to one of their co-founder leaving.

Ethereum has been  well coordinated and their team has been able to put themselves together as for the past few year they were establish, and these team of ethereum has very great ideas that is being used from time to time to sustain their cryptocurrency.

While in the Tron coins there is no chance not only to overtake, but even compare to ethereum. Tron is a good and promising coin, however, it still has many unsolved problems. Everything will depend on the further actions of the teams of these coins and the ways of their further improvement.

I am not totally disagree that TRON will displace soon the ethereum, TRON was at only an early stage here in cryptocurrency while ethereum has wide and strong platform and most popular to the investors and it using in many project.

It is far more likely that TRON will shift Ethereum, well, indeed, there are many already used this project ethereum, many have even been successful and it is not possible that TRON will replace ETH's position, and many investors hold ETH.

i dont think so, did you think etherium will finished and replacing by tron, maybe it could happen, but it take several years to become true.

Are you talking about another tron or still same tron whom everyone is asking about its future lately?  There seem to be some issue with the tron internally why the CTO left the project. Tron can't replace eth let's not make that mistake again

I like the way you end your post, healthy competition is needed for the development of crypto space, ethereum will not sit back to watch trons to upstage them likewise trons will continoulsy develop it's ecosystem. this is necessary for the space to attain next level of development.

a good team so that they can develop and strengthen each other to be the best and become the choice of many people.
but by looking at its growth in my opinion it is difficult if Tron will replace Ethereum, even though Tron will increase quite high but Ethereum will also rise, he does not stay silent
Ethereum also has great strength so that it is not easily replaced by anyone so that it can rise higher.

Tron is good coin but to replace ethereum, i think thats take a long time. Tron have good strategy to survive in cryptomarket and always developing their product but i think BNB Coin have more chance to compete with ethereum because just launch binance DEX in BNB Chain.

I do not know, at the moment it is generally difficult to imagine that any altcoin will be able to surpass ethereum, this also applies to tron. Of course, tron has been developing very strongly and rapidly lately, but ethereum is doing the same thing, but I think in the coming years, ethereum will be in second place after Bitcoin.

Despite all the hype Tron is unlikely to replace Ethereum or even come close to challenging it because it has a more established market presence, a much larger group of developers and community behind it and more potential to become an institutional asset class that attracts major investment with futures products and enterprise partnerships in the works it should easily maintain its leading position

Any altcoins now in the market may compete with ethereum in terms of the platform and value, however ethereum is the king of altcoins and if they pass over beyond the volume of ethereum, maybe they can replace ethereum, but no altcoin can replace ethereum in terms of its transparency and volume.

Right now, ethereum is more favourable investment than others. People more interesting to invest on ethereum than others altcoin because used by most token in market and have big liquidity and daily transaction volume

I am agree. If both coin or developers team have partnertship, i am believe it will good for market and create a good climate investment. Tron could replace ethereum place in market cap value but to compete in price, i think its very hard

Tron has a very loong way to go to even surpass Ethereum, how come when there is a new coin, people are very quick to point out that that this will beat Bitcoin or Ethereum or Ripple, but upon checking it's still a long way before it happens, people should be more realistic, if Tron is good Ethereum is much more a better coin.

i know tron is good, but i think not will reach ETH marketcap, pioneer always be leader.
same like BTC there a lot of altcoin with better system than BTC, but we see there no one can beat BTC at the top.
ETH is the first platform with smart contract and i guess no one altcoin with smart contract will beat him.

No chance Tron can take out Ethereum.

Per Metcalfe's law (https://crypto.bi/tape/blog/metcalfe/), a platform's worth is given by the number of users.

This is intuitive: since each network user communicates with at least one other, the number of pairs interacting make the network valuable. The total number of pairs possible is N to square power where N is number of participants.

So: Ethereum has like Nx more users than Tron. Which means its network value is N^2 that of Tron. Until this logic reverses, Ethereum will continue to rule.

Too soon to say that Tron will replacing Ethereum.
We see in the market position, Tron is away from top 10 list in coinmarketcap.
Many peoples and companies prefer to use Ethereum network to create or join ICO.

Your competition between Tron and ETH is very interesting. Yes TRON is a rising star and doing very well. You can't compare a newly born tokens with a established coin like ETH. Many people compare many tokens or coins with ETH but nothing is enough to compare. Still ETH is dominating and if any newly token does better than ETH, then we can say it is better than ETH otherwise we need to stop comparison.

It still requires a lot of processes and the stages to become one of the coins that can replace ethereum. now tron will continue to grow but this growth must be based on the level of coin stability in the market. if it is successful tron has the potential to rise and be higher than ethereum.

I don't believe that Tron can replace Eth. It's just a joke and a dream. As a crypto currency player who has been on the market for a long time, I don't see Tron better than eth. I am not at all interested in Tron. Tron is much different compared to eth. Eth has proven to provide benefits to people who want to accept eth while I have not seen the real benefits that Tron brings. Honestly I can't move on from my love for eth. In my opinion, eth is the most potential altcoin at the moment and no one can replace it including tron.

TRX is rising, but ETH is much ahead with adoption and services provided, it is hard to expect that ETH will stand by and just watch TRX that is rising

of course, BTT on TRX is a huge step ahead for TRX and good argument when compared to other platforms like EOS, XLM, but as marketcap indicates ETH is above all of them

stability can be created if the team is able to strengthen their community and market by continuing to update so that their demand for platforms and coins continues to increase. it is the best way to be able to match etheruem. but unfortunately ethereum has had that much before, tron ​​must fight hard.

Now it's Tron that is going to displace Ethereum, people have posted that that Ripple, Bitcoincash, and Eos that is going to displace Ethereum, but until now it's not happening and I don't think it's going to happen, Ethereum still has what it takes to be on the second spot.

It is not that easy to replace ethereum, all what stated have been done already by ethereum in the past. Ethereum is still years ahead of TRON and Tron is not catching up anytime soon.

im not sure about this, but personally i think etherium is not yet in this short time will be surpass and replaced by other coin, include tron.

There is no competition really, brilliant people are actually working behind ethereum. About tron a part from the babbling of the ceo i never hear any notable contribution being made

How would ETH will replace TRON when ETH is already in the top spot?

What we are talking here is the lower rank coin like TRON to replace ETH, based on https://coinmarketcap.com/, ETH is rank no.2 while TRON is rank no. 10, there's a big disparity between the two but it's still possible to replace ETH but less likely to happen.

I also think that ETH has no serious competitors and that TRX will not be able to do anything serious with ETH. I agree that ETH has a brilliant team that is constantly working on the project

I do not think Tron will ever replace Ethereum. Both of the coins are good investment and are doing their best to give good results to its supporters and traders however. Competition will make every project much strong and make the market democratic. So I want to see healthy competition among coins in the market. Looking forwards to competition between Vitalik Buterin and Justin Sun.

Ethereum is a long-term project and has a very strong development strategy in the future and the current community of ETH is considered the number one in this market. The difference between TRON and Ethereum has been appreciated by everyone and ETH has a much greater influence and ETH technology is much better so TRON is not a competitor to ETH. I personally believe that the ETH has a stronger market and this coin investment should be a top priority

And which from these partnerships are real?
Ethereum enterprise alliance has around 250 big partnerships! Much bigger list than Tron has.  :)

I think Tron will not replace ETH because ETH has many features and is more famous than Tron. even though there is a chance to catch up with ETH, maybe it will try hard and take a very long time.

Great! I have followed TRON since the beginning of 2019 until now. JUSTIN is a wonderful person. TRON will win the throne of ETH.

TRON is still the same as before. Nothing changed and updated, But for ETH, They are progressing and updating a lot in the past. So I believe that TRON will never be able to replace ETH.

I do not believe Tron will ever displace Ethereum though Tron has amazing large number of Dapps users and the Blockchain Network is gaining massive adoption. Ethereum has gain more ground than Tron , it has been existing before Tron and also have large number of users. 80% of ICO project are conducted on Ethereum Blockchain .Its really an amazing Blockchain network and i do not agree Tron will overthrow it .

Let's imagine both projects without their leaders!...Vitalik for Eth and Justin Sun for Tron...Do they survive without their current leaders?!...The answer to this question is answer to the major one and shows that which one is more decentralized!

One thing I detest in crypto forums is certain comparisons between top coins which are baseless. Yes, I'm holding both TRX and ETH but in the long run, I don't see TRON replacing Ethereum. By replacing Ethereum you mean? Yes TRON founder has been up and doing, so too does Ethereum foundation.  Ethereum remains my favorite altcoin, it has helped many projects including tron to come to lime light, so let's not forget that so soon. 

did you sure about this thread, i think TRON is so hard to displace ETH.
ETH in 2 possition and so strong, and in 2020 Ethereum 2.0 will lauch so what will TRON can beat it.
that is so impossible for me.

In the future, Tron may oust Ethereum, but for this he needs that the ICO projects choose the blockchain of the Tron. In this case, Tron takes the second place after Bitcoin.

It looks like it will happen but not for this year or next year, I see Tron has a good chance because it has lower costs than Ethereum, but I see there are still many new projects using the ethereum platform and until now ethereum is still trusted by many investors

This is a tough ask, one that could be highly unlikely. Ethereum use case and acceptance makes it one of the most sort after cryptocurrencies and this makes it highly valuable. On the other hand, TRON doesn't yet have that recognition and acceptance which makes it different in class to Ethereum. TRON has a whole lot of potentials but it still has a long way to go before it can truly achieve the current level of Ethereum.

Now this sounds pretty absurd, because no one can match the newcomer and the founder of a huge blockchain platform. But productivity TRON have long been overtaken by ETH. I think the availability of the product is an important factor that makes TRON superior to ETH it the moment.

The difference of market cap between Ethereum and Tron has gone far, looks like TRON won't replace ETH position.
I think this is because there are many ICO and IEO prefer to using ETH than TRON, so the market cap value of ETH higher than TRON's.

I agree, if we look at the market cap value of Tron and ethereum, there is a very big gap. Ethereum is preferred by investors because it is widely used by many projects and ethereum is more popular than Tron. Ethereum is more in demand, because almost all exchangers use ethereum as the main currency after bitcoin

Tron will not replace Ethereum. Because ethereum is more desirable and trusted by many projects and people than tron. And it is impossible to replace ethereum because they have good dev and team. But Tron is good altcoin too and worth to buy.

Vitalik Buterin cannot be called a very handsome guy, especially if he is compared with Tron "Father" but it does not affect the efficiency of Ethereum. ETH cannot be replaced by TRX, although the token is extremely popular.

The throne, of course, is a good competitor for Ethereum, but I doubt that it can take Ethereums place. Ethereum is now underestimated and has good chances for explosive growth in the near future. However, Justin Sun is not sleeping, and very competently conducts marketing lines.

At this stage, all these partnerships are like playing to the gallery. I can assure you that if Ethereum wants any partner from the list, it will be finalised in 14days. We should focus more on substance centered on developments only

The looks in picture is not what will make one better than the other and that cannot be used to give credence unto other, except for the quality of work that might have been done. Joke aside, I really commend the effort of the developer of From. I believe it will take some steps higher soon.

I don't how will tron dethrone ethereum soon but I thibk it is not impossible to happen. Ethereum and tron have similarities. They are similar in platform because they promote their own blockchain. Maybe, we just see the tron since projects are turning their head in ethereum blockchain. But soon, many projects will discover that tron is also a better blockchain network platform.

I'd never support any crypto from a communist country.

There has been so much comparison with ethereum for so long and that shows how formidable ethereum is, the truth is that most of these coins can not replace ethereum because ethereum has been able to establish itself.

Ethereum is losing its value - that's true, but TRON team needs to promote their project very actively to win this position... I don't think they will push it to Ethereum 2.0 stage

Ethereum is better than Tron, that's because Tron is the first Dapp developer to succeed with many new projects, such as BNB, EOS and currently many projects that are in the ethereum network have their own blockchain.
In the future, Ethereum will still survive and now I see many new projects that have the same ideas as Ethereum and they offer speed in making transactions.

This will be a strong competition in the market and practical applications, But I think Tron can't pass Ethereum, About 85% of ico projects are based on Ethereum, which creates its value

I don't think that now ETH has a serious competitor, nobody will be able to overtake it as if it were TRX, BNB or EOS, because ETH is much better

Ethereum is a very long time in the market.  And for good reason took second place.  Because he is really very strong and progressive.  But for some reason it is underestimated.  I think that he Tron just kind of teeth.

Tron is a good project and it's getting more recognition and partnerships as time goes on. But Ethereum as gained more popularity. A lot of tokens in the crypto world are Ethereum based tokens and this will be one of the major things that will still keep the relevance of Ethereum alive.

The two projects are not to be compare to one and another because they rae different type of project with different ideology. To what I know about Ethereum, its the future of altcoins and the entire erc20 but for Tron, am not a fan of the project and would say much about the project. Ethereum will remain the second giant and nothing can From do.

TRON will never displace ETHEREUM, you only know about TRON recent partnerships, Ethereum is passed this stage Tron is years back, Tron should worry about taking over completely from Cardano, then maybe EOS before thinking of overthrowing ETHEREUM.
