Polka dot is an open-source project that works with shared protocol that enables Blockchain Networks to work with Synergy. The token serves three distinct purposes; Governance, Staking and Bonding. This is designed to co-exist with Leading smart contract Blockchains rather than competing with them. This is very appealing factor for some Investors. It won't be easy for the Polka dot to challenge Ethereum as many working projects are already using Ethereum Network even though Technically it is superior project but  It is already Home of 197 projects those are working on its networks  and many more willing to join it.

This is also evident from price movement that we have witnessed during the past month when its price moved from $2 to almost $6 that reflects great interest of Investors in this token. There are some predictions that within a year time , Dot will be Top 3 on Market cap.

Who are these "investors" that drive the price up??

Do we ever get to know the names, faces or institutions behind these price rises. I am not saying that "Polkadot" is your typical run-of-the-mill project. It has a lot going for it with big names backing it (including, apparently, the cofounder of Solidity). It also has a lot of community led initiatives. Yet, the price rise is only because of the exchanges and the day traders exploiting those interested in it. Like every other project out there, these have a founders or initial team with a major share of the tokens already. To participate in the so-called governance in any significant way, you already need to be one of the big holders which means you need to be someone who either bought cheap at entry (with the sole purpose of selling at a target price). Thus, this is pretty far from a fair launch.

What they have going for them is their grants program to support developers on their chain. Yet, without sufficient interest and large enough community, they are also being run by a small group of interested individuals. Such a situation will always be the one where the interest of few will be above the general interest.

So even though they are trying well, I don't think Polkadot poses any threat to Ethereum.

Home of 197 projects!! You should really put the list of them or just the link to where we find these data. You know, there are also lots of projects claiming to be an ETH killer right?  I hope there won't be any congestion to polkadot as well because ETH is just unbearable already that transactions are all pending.

Is it too early for Polkadot to be listed on Dappradar?? If Dot will be there, it will be easy to compare among the rest.

It's very difficult to weather the storm from Ethereum, we can all see that it's not only Polkadot who has dreams of growing Ethereum. but still Ethereum is much more effectively traded. In fact, Polkadot promised various sources of supply from the 197 projects it is currently developing. I am not very satisfied with that.

I am just looking at the project on Polkadot, the quality of projects on Polkadot is more important to me than Polkadot platform itself, look at all the Ethereum Killers in the space, starting from EOS, Tezos, Cosmos etc all have failed to attract good projects on their platform and these Dapps are what help drive up exposure to the blockchain

Polkadot has its own efficiencies and while many projects stemmed from it, many of which acted as validating Polkadto's value to the community which was expressed in the token price and market dominance I still think ETH2.0 is something more valuable. While it is true that ETH2.0 is in the making, because it is the earliest blockchain I think people will likely side with it over something that's relatively new like Polkadot. Similar to how BTC Cash hasn't taken over BTC, with BTC being the 'Gold standard' of crypto, ETH is the standard of blockchain.

Well said. Without going into much Technical details, Polka dot is very young altcoin and was listed on Binance exchange few months back , In this very short period the value of DOT has soared more than 100%. What is more fascinating about Polka dot that Trading volume has grown exponentially.

Polkadot is essentially a fast-tracked version of Ethereum 2.0.
This is probably why Polkadot supporters often use the phrase "Ethereum killer" to describe Polkadot.
There are only little issues with Polkadot, a lot of people still have trouble understanding Polkadot but the Polkadot team seems to care less about the user experience than it should be, given the complexity of the project.

If a particular network is trying to compete or overpower eth, they will have long journey to even get the same popularity of eth usage. And eth team is still active and continuously improving their platform, so I don't think a new network can even surpass their journey at the moment. But it is good for the market to have other options as it will create competition and they will do their best to serve the community. Now, it is up to the developer where they will build their project according to their priority of needs.

Polkadot project is side chain od ethereum and the founser is co founder of ethereum, is it possible that polkadot kill ethereum ? The use of polkadot also helping ethereum it is created not to compete to each other.
Polkadot and ethereum both created by gavin woods.

Technically Polkadot network is still far from what Ethereum is since the one who created these two is the same person which makes them comparable to each other.

However in terms of popularity and number of investors I doubt that Polkadot could beat the Eth that easy for most investors would rather stay with the one that has already an established foundation instead of trying a new one which could put them into risk for the second time. Due to these reasons, it made me convinced that Polkadot will only become another option instead of being a competitor.

Wait until polkadot has as many project as ethereum and including dexes then we'll talk about this topic again. When the market cap gap is still 15 times apart there's just no point of talking whether polkadot gonna kill ethereum or not.
Polkadot's main concern is to make that platform home to many newly created projects becasue that's the only way to boost the demand for polkadot otherwise just forget it. Ethereum has too much project relies on its blockchain at this point and that's gonna be difficult thing to beat.

Ethereum has a better vision and fundamental. The DOT shillers are promosing this platform so hard but the majority of developers are still choosing ethereum as the platform to be used for tokenization purpose.
I remember when binance shil was also promoting if bitcoin will kill ethereum but there's not a lot of platforms wanna did toknization into the binance platform.
it doesn't make sense to call DOT will ethereum. ADA is a better than DOT.

It's crazy as it's more than 5 times i have been seeing the same thread that discussed the possibility for the polkadot to defeat or kill ether. There are a bunch of answers too in the old thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5274281.20

Just see the fact and you will know what will be happening for sure. It's not possible for DOT to get more than 10x increases for its current price.

Hey mate, how can Polkadot kill Ethereum? By overtaking it on the market? Anyway, I don't think Polkadot is a serious competitor for Ethereum now, it is a new coin. Even Ripple is much better to be counted as a competitor. You must realize that it is still a prediction and Polkadot needs much time to grow to approach Ethereum. Also, overtaking Ethereum doesn't mean killing it. Don't be too much!!

Once reading I found that DOT plans to be one of the top 3 cryptocurrencies, but it still does not show how?

He had plans to be the solution to ETH's high fees and slow network.

But with ETH 2.0 very close, what next?

Those 197 projects, nobody knows what they are about...

Open-sourced project, do you mean it?

It is too soon to say about the future of the project that has only 4 months old. Polkadot (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/polkadot-new/). It is listed on many exchange and it is good for its volume and price actions but its future is unknown. You need to observe a project after 1 year to see how their developers work, meet their plans, and keep or give up their developmental activities.

The marketcap of Polkadot is $4,174,651,597 USD (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/polkadot-new/) and Ethereum is $62,251,605,400 USD (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/). Polkadot price has to rise 15 times to reach the marketcap of Ethereum. It looks impossible mission.

To most issues of Ethereum, Polkadot doesn't have a clear solution. Polkadot isn't bad but it can't scale and Parachains are just a emergency solution to split up network load. But Polkadot has good marketing and tons of money to promote Polkadot. Unfortunately, Polkadot didn't secure ICO funds and most funds were lost in a hack or mistake by team.

Is Polkadot going to Kill Ethereum?
I don't know why people are saying this.
I’ve been with cryptocurrency for over four years, I also know fairly well about the market, so I’m saying from my experience it’s never possible.

Most of the cryptocurrency users haven't even heard about Polkadot. And the OP is claiming that it is going to kill Ethereum. The biggest strength for Ethereum is not its technology. On the other hand, its biggest plus point is its acceptability. Even now, more than 90% of the new tokens are being created in the ERC-20 platform. None of the other platforms can even come close.

How, you have thoughts about Polkadot (DOT) can compete with Ethereum what else kills Ethereum, this is very AFAIK and your mind is too narrow in assessing Polkadot coins with Ethereum.
very far, if you want to say the comparison of Polkadot and Ethereum, also in terms of price and Total Supply are also very different from both and also developments in the market.
It doesn't come to mind that Polkadot can compete with Ethereum if you compare EOS with Polkadot, maybe, yes they have competition in the market.

But for Polkadot & Ethereum like Saltwater with Fresh Water.

even I, just realized that there is a coin called polka dots. well, I don't know what business this coin is in, but its position is currently rank 9 in CMC. Even so, I think there is still a long way to go for this coin to replace Ethereum's position. in fact, for coins that are close to ethereum, it is still quite difficult to replace ethereum's current position. Are you sure that the function of polka-dots can exceed people's needs for ethereum ? Personally, I don't think polkadot will replace ethereum for now.

IMO not kill it, but cause some disturbance in force for sure. I like polka, hold some and gain nice profit on it.

There are no projects right now that can kill ETH or BTC, you should just accept it

The ethereum community is too big so it is difficult for Polkadot to compete with ethereum. There have been many projects that have been tried but in the end ethereum is still the best. Maybe in terms of features Polkadot can be said to be able to beat ethereum, but in terms of fans and the amount of support ethereum is still unbeatable. until whenever Polkadot can only be an alternative choice, and will not be number one.

Yes, if you look at it there is a possibility, because all Altcoins that are already popular in the market are always competing with one another, but to beat Ethereum which is really strong in general, it will be very difficult for Polkadot to achieve.

Very well said. Ethereum is a big name in Crypto space and Polka dot will not replace it in a month or two, it will take time but the progress it has made during the past months is very impressive. Its supply is not unlimited like Ethereum and its network has better features. The main utility of Ethereum network is to create smart contracts but Gas and transactions fees have increased exponentially during the past months. This is one of the reasons Polka dot is attracting new businesses.

You are absolutely right that it wont be easy to beat Ethereum as it is a big name in crypto industry. We all know that Nokia was a big name in Cell phones Industry 10 years ago and now nobody talks about it. We are living in a very  competitive environment where fittest will survive. Polka dot is offering same  what Ethereum offers ( Create smart contracts) but at very low cost. The exponential growth in Gas and transaction fees on Ethereum network are forcing customers to find another alternative. Business is all about cost of doing Business and quality of product. Polka dot network has better features at competitive price so obviously it will attract customers.

When Tron, Neo, Eos came many people said that they will replace eth very soon. BTC is the father of cryptocurrency and ETH is the mother of all cryptocurrency. Other projects can co-exist but can not replace each other so easily. Polkadot and eth both networks are developing and evolving so they will co-exist too. If eth dev stops developing that project only then the ETH network will be replaced by some other project In the future which is not so easily going to happen.

Seeing that polkadot is having the run of success this previous until as of the moment but if we compare if with ethereum and I dont think that it polkadot can kill the ethereum blockchain but instead it can somehow and someday be the next ethereum if the polkadot will continue to grow as year pass by.

Polkadot does have the possibility to replace ethereum, but not now or next year. ethereum is still too strong and polkadot are not as well known as ethereum, even in crypto space itself polkadot are far from being compared to ethereum

Well said. You are absolutely right. Ethereum is a big name( 2nd after BTC )in Crypto space and most of alt coins including DEFIs have been created on Ethereum Network.
Polkadot is exactly doing what Ethereum network does if not better. but at a lower cost. From investment point of view Polka dot has potential to go 10 to 20X so obviously  it is a good buy at current price to make huge gain in future.

Actually OP is referring to possibility of polkadot overtaking Ethereum in future due to its scalability claims and other purported improved features, however I really like your points here. Ethereum's acceptability and already existing projects building on its blockchain is far ahead of any other altcoin. Ethereum developers keep coming up with innovation, hence I doubt if polkadot will be an ETH killer even in future. So many supposed "Ethereum killers" have gone extinct lol, time will tell if DOT has what it takes.

This is the first time I heard about the project and upon looking at the coinmarketcap it's already top 9. I'm not really sure if today was the best day to invest to DOT but do you think this could be a great project in the future?

That means polkadot really have to work hard in convincing the crypto space to shift away from the over congested ethereum network to their own because despite eth net is over clogged many developers still prefer to use it than rest of the blockchain available that are much better and less congested, eth already taken the lead, i don't think polk can do much to kill it  ;D

May be,i say just may be,not just Polkadot claim it is ETH killer, i remember there are a lot of coins is once called the ETH terminator，but where are they now？Actually, I'm pretty optimistic about DOT， i recall i was ever sad for several days when i knew i cant join in the ico of DOT.
Anyway， i wish it could replace ETH a day in the future，i believe competition in progress.

Why does it have to kill ETH? Wasn't Ethereum already killed by Tezos, EOS, Cardano etc.  ::) What I want to say is that there were so many projects already that were called "ETH-Killer". Still Ethereum is still the most widely used platform, has a huge developer community and is adopted the most.

Polkadot is a new project that will be launched in 2020, the future is also not clearly visible,
for investors the most important thing is ROI, Polkadot's ROI has increased by 65%,
of course this has achieved a good achievement.

I don't think so because ETH is the first smart contract platform, which means you can't go against them, maybe the successor will have better development but that won't change that ETH is the main thing about smart contract.
there is no one will know what will happen to polkadot and ETH in future, but i assume ETH still lead than other altcoin.

I wonder the basis of your predictions, for it to be top 3 on market cap within a year.
When I read all these, I will just be wondering the fate of those who follows these predictions only to be disappointed at the end. If an upcoming project is good and have the potential to beat whatever existing projects, it is the duty of the team to make it happen through constant Improvements and so on, and these Improvements will be visible to all and sundry. Come to think of it, Ethereum has been there for a very long time, and even till date more projects are still eager to leverage its blockchain not only that, the team are also on top of their game through bringing more upgrades to the blockchain, hence with these and many more, I don't actually think another will beat it.
Lastly, there have been many projects tagged Ethereum killer but instead, they are no where to be found; let the team continue their development so that they can last long term like others but for beating Ethereum, it will be difficult for them.

Polkadot already launched and polka parachain is also alive right now. The future will be the same as TRON consider this platform being used for tokenization purpose only. The project that has joined on polkadot just wanna get into the hype. This time they have been forgotten by the investors.
Polka ROI was more than 65% a few months ago and people are going back again to the ethereum.

Polkadot is a very great project, no doubt about that but that it will kill ethereum is no point for discussion. Ethereum itself is not also staying where they are in term of development. We all here about ethereum 2. It's one of the development that make ethereum unique among all the blockchain projects.

there were many Ethereum killers but Ethereum is still alive. Polkadot will take its place on the crypto market because it's a good project but Ethereum also shows nice results in new developments.

yeah, a lot of project supporters will talk about this too, not only polkadot supporters just like The OP, but other project too
but, the fact ethereum still become the king of altcoins until now right ? thats mean all ethereum killers is failed to kill the ethereum including polkadot

Do you remember that period when Xrp overtook ethereum position in CoinMarketCap, they were all shilling the same thing with out positive direction, now look at ethereum performance in the crypto space, it's fanterbulous and a remarkable history that it's still vibing hard.
Now, you are coming with another yet shill coin to degrade ethereum network, probably you hold some bags or whale who tried to be an influencer that's dead on arrival to me.
Crypto people loves ethereum irrespective of difficulties they have face so far, live it or take it, once ethereum achieve scalability and able to reduce transaction fee, there's hope for ethereum to replace bitcoin.  :-* :-*

Polkadot is a blockchain that already integrates the functionality of Ethereum 2.0. These projects will continue to be in high demand, the difference between them is in their consensus and modules. Polkadot uses shards that were not present in Ethereum during the transition to Ethereum 2.0.

Even though Polkadot is superior than ETH, I doubt it would have done better than ETH. ETH is a establish project while, we can say Polkadot is the copy paste of ETH version 2. How can Polkadot kill ETH then?

It’s open-source not sauce.

Seems typo but yeah, that's funny. Noticed that too.  ;D

And I don't think it will kill Eth by any means.
Remember, same with the situation where a lot of crypto projects aimed to kill bitcoin, but where are they now?
They have cutting-edge technology, they even have comparison table showing their excellent features over btc, and yet, they couldn't match the popularity of usage of btc.
So nope, a year from now, let's revisit if DOT achieved at least half of the popularity of ETH platform.

Over the years, I read about many good projects which were going to kill Ether, starting with early ones like EOS, Tron, etc. Yet, Ether is still here, still strong and it's not going anywhere.

DOT will not kill or replace Ether. BUT I believe it will grow at least 2-3x in the next 12 months, which is the reason to hold some.

This is a promotion strategy. When there are some people could a project potentially to be the ethereum killers and it means if those were shilling for it.
History has told us about the truth that will never be changed if ethereum will remain the same.
The only threat for ethereum was ripple and this can't be argued. I have seen that more and more new projects keep doing the same thing over and over again.

Well said. With all respect for your thoughts I strongly believe that " The best system  should Win". ETH is not more useful than BTC because some sneaky wheeling and dealing made it so. It's more useful because its features are set to create smart contracts. If a new Network comes out tomorrow that solves major Ethereum issues before ETH does it then it should beat out Ethereum.

Polka dot is building a  Blockchain Business. It will be fast, performant and profitable for all parties involved. Its current price around $5 is also very attractive from investment perspective as potentially it can easily go from 2 to 5X when Alts market starts rallying.

Well said. We don’t chase the news every day. We don’t constantly move money around between bank accounts, trying to get a percentage point of profit. We’ve got more important things to do.
Ultimately, we move our money to where it can do the most good. When we approach investing in this way, we should move our money where it gets best returns. Polka Dot is the project where we should move money and park it there for long term Huge gains.

Clearly the @op is on a dream land  :D i wouldn't want to wake him from his dreams just yet, i don't know what gives the op such confidence that polk will be killing eth, anyways can't stop op from wishing, eth is a well establish project with millions of real users, do you even know the number of projects on the ethereum blockchain!
it will be very hard for polk to compete with that to the point of killing it.

I don't think that this coin has capacity and ability to Kill ethereum ,because we can see how this moves for a couple of months and now goes down back to rank number 9.
Ethereum is a established and well trusted platform and even they lose the momentum after the failure of ICO yet there are many projects that using their platform .

So this is not enough to make ethereum died just like that and besides polkadot need to prove their legitimacy first and to be trusted by investors and project developer here in crypto market.

Indeed, I have noticed that Polka dot is moving very well, especially this year. More and more projects are using smart contracts with polka dots, too. But to be able to challenge ethereum, I think polka-dots still need time, it will not happen that fast. And until now Ethereum itself also still exists and is still widely used by many projects in general.

For the past few weeks I started to research about Polkadot.
I will not say that it is the Ethereum killer, I rather say Ethereum will say, Polkadot too. What the founder said before on Polkadot goal is some of the Ethereum can't or difficult to achieve, just like the proof-of-stake feature.
Honestly what I am looking forward on Polkadot is for long term. More years, I hold some of Polkadot.

I don't understand kill in this essence! does he mean kill as in wiping eth off the surface of the crypto space or kill as-in people stop using the network and shifting to using polkadot?
no doubt polkadot is an amazing project but in other for it to be able to take ether's place polkadot has to really work hard and have enough project using the blockchain just like eth is been used plus all other features eth is offering,
90% of new project are using eth blockchain there is a reason for that.

it's not true at all. There would be a lot of projects have joined in the dot ecosystem but this time it's different dude. There are so many new projects still using ethereum for their tokneization.
It's not so hyped like it was being introduced to the public. There are so many parties said that it's quite difficult to use polka.
It's a bit complicated.

As a rule, projects that rise quickly and their tokens quickly grow in value also quickly then fall.  Therefore, such statements should not be taken seriously.  Even if this project turns out to be successful, it will not threaten the ethereum network with anything serious yet.  Good competition is always an incentive for growth and development.

It is very difficult that Polkadot coin will overtake ETH. Polkadot coin good project. Even though it is supplied in large quantities, its price is increasing day by day. Its price is currently trading above $5. A few days ago, the market is in a good position to be listed. Polkadot will not be able to replace eth but will perform better in the future.

Very well said. Competition is central to the operation of markets, and fosters innovation, productivity and growth, all of which create wealth. The main issue is that users of Ethereum network have to pay huge Gas and Transaction fees that is opening window of opportunity for its competitors. Any network that solves Ethereum network problems before Ethereum Team does then certainly clients of Ethereum will migrate.

No, in my opinion it is never possible.
I don't know why some people think Polkadot is the killer of Ethereum which I don't believe.
Because Ethereum is the king of altcoins.
Most cryptocurrencies are made in the Ethereum blockchain.

I thought the OP meant killing in sense that people would use Polkadot and leave Ethereum, and I think that's impossible, people will continue to use Ethereum because Ethereum is more trusted in the Crypto space than Polkadot, where still young for now.

Hi,

No, I do not think so. Each one has its place.

Polkadot is a multi-chain framework that supports interoperability between very different chains with various properties, including encrypted proof of authority chains suitable for internal business networks.

Ethereum's strong suit is smart contracts.

So I think everyone has their own.

Regards,

I admit that Polkadot is a good project, to be in the top 10 projects is not easy. But Polkadot can be in number 9 as the best
coins is an extraordinary achievement, because for new projects like Polkadot being able to compete with old projects is
an extraordinary thing. It's no wonder many are predicting Polkadot will kill Ethereum, but I don't think it will happen any time soon.
Because Ethereum is too tough and more popular than Polkadot, even most of the projects currently circulating use the Ethereum
blockchain network.

This is just speculation in my opinion, it has been proven that many platforms have always been rumored to kill Eth but nothing has been proven until now. because eth is the most powerful platform and always needed in crypto

Nothing can kill Ethereum, the sky is wide enough. Where is NEO and EOS they labeled Ethreum killers in the year 2017? They are presently struggling and new projects are overshadowing them. Nothing can kill ETH nor BTC

Polkadot has a similar use case in Ethereum, and its project is auspicious that it has a chance to be on the same level as Ethereum. But I don't think it can replace Ethereum because even though many people are having problems paying the gas fees, Ethereum will remain the top altcoins in the crypto market due to its popularity and platform.

What you said is right, the blockchain of Polkadot is improving its standard, but it is not a competition to ETH, ETH features are far better compared to other blockchain. Based on the Defi, the ETH block chain is booming and it will help the ETH coin to increase its price even higher value in the market.

In these days, projects are coming and calling they are Ethereum Killer! Really! Near, Cardano, Polkadot all are calling themselves an Ethereum Killer. It isn't easy. Nowadays Ethereum fees are high. Though people didn't move from Ethereum. Those who called themselves Ethereum Killer now dying.

I don't understand how it can kill eth. Its kind of extreme word people use to define things that can be explained with more sensible word. You probably meant if it would replace eth which is not going to happen. Dot has his own base of support group and they use different technology than eth, eth is much more grounded and has more support. However, it was surprising that 2.0 didn't effect its price the way many people were expecting. Does it mean it is moving towards btc level with its volatility?

When a project comes on the market and they try to do something good, there is a lot of discussion about that project. So I don't know how reasonable it is to compare the project with another hugely popular project. We also want more good projects to come in the market so that one can compete with the other.

Nothing new! We had so many similar topics here... NEO, Stellar, BNB... and Ethereum is surviving and making progress! I don't know how to call this kind of topics, it's FUD and spam in the same time! But actually for people who have some knowledge about crypto they find this kind of topics silly! And if projects base their marketing on "next BTC" and "next Ethereum" are most likely short term projects!
I can't say anything about Polkadot, I see that project name around, but I didn't read more about them and I didn't invest! For now, I will stick to my Ethereums!

I'm not quite sure why would it kill Ethereum, it might be true that it is a competitor of Ethereum but it doesn't mean that it will kill Ethereum for what I've know it's impossible as you can see the Ethereum release a 2.0 which improves most of its feature.

I think it is not about killing, but it could compete with ethereum as we know that everything can be possible in the crypto market. But polkadot needs time before the coin can compete with ethereum. The project itself still a new project which requires more development and has a chance to compete with ethereum and other coins. But ethereum will not let that happen, and with the update from the ethereum project, it could give more chances for ethereum to get more investors.

competing and killing are not that far from each other but it was a few distance away . polkadot is gaining a momentum now and if this continue it can be a competitive coin next to eth and if it manage to overtake eth chances are that eth can be in danger and worst it will be got killed by this coin but on the competition between them eth still takes the lead by introducing its new eth 2.0 , this leaves polkadot a few mile . eth 2.0 has a staking service that requires 32 eth and you could be right that this can drive more investor in the platform .

Polkadot has some good investors behind it existence and some institutions but that doesn't make it a killer sword to ethereum, becasue this project has real world usability. Ethereum has done wonderfully well when we talk about altcoins, we all know ethereum to be the king of altcoins and not just pump and dump project. The rate at which the Polkadot price moved some months back clearly shown that it's not a project that's likely to overrun ethereum in my view.

But still, it will be difficult for polkadot to compete with ethereum as ethereum has already got a name in the crypto world. Maybe the next year will be a good time for polkadot to raise the price and update their project so that the polkadot can get more investors. It is not easy to compete or beat the old coins if the project doesn't have something that can be the other benefits. We will see how polkadot is competing with ethereum, and we need to have the patience to see what will happen later.

have EOS, stellar, Waves, Cardano, and Tron killed ethereum now?
of course not, Ethereum is still the best today.
then why do you think Polkadot can do that. Polkadot does have a good advantage. but the project is still new. still need years of support and development to become one of ethereum's competitors. so there's no way polka dots can beat ethereum.

There is no question that there is a possibility for any emerging blockchain tech to be and Ethereum killer but the question would be how huge is that possibility.  Polkadadot can possibly be a threat for Ethereum but I don't think that it is right now.  I think it will take sometimes and some condition where Polkadot will take over ETH,  If those condition is met then we can see it happen, if not, then there is no way polkadot will beat ETH.

i am prefer to said polkadot will be serious competitor  but it will not killing ethereum. if we look on how much project based on polkadot at this time its very small  although we know its still too early  .but if we look at interesting rate of polkadot platform , its still very far with ethereum if compared peer to peer. we could analize it , on how much new project that use eth or polkadot platform in market. 

Polkadot project can be a worthy competitors to EOS and Neo but not Ethereum, Ethereum isn't the only old smart contract project standing so tall and most new smart contract projects haven't defeat those smart contract projects  under Ethereum like EOS, Stellar or Neo, let them accomplish that first

EOS, DOT and NEO were working on the same field. These platforms are almost impossible to compete with ethereum. So many innovations already made by those platforms but again they can't even attract the new developers to use the tokenizations there.
that reminds me with lisk, waves that claimed to be the ethereum killer. I  feel that the position that owned by ethereum will be last forever.

Eth is a branding in Cryptocurrency and the popularity can't be compared I agree polkadot is growing rapidly but it doesn't mean it will overtake Eth.

Without any doubt polkadot is a tremendous project with new features but now eth 2.0 will be the next hot topic in couple of days. When Eth was booming people were talking about it will overtake BTC, same applies now here, all people need is a safe and secure project I think polkadot would take years to level ETH.

We are just starting our own token sale. We chose Ethereum because the community is bigger than all the rest. This means that it is easier for developers to find solutions to their problems. I think it is very hard to overcome this dynamic. Also the scaling solutions are coming, like SKALE.network that will eliminate gas fees for users. That being said I do believe there is room for other players, that is also healthy for the overall market.

It's impossible for another smartcontract chain to kill it. This is only a shilling trick while we know that will never happen.
There are some dapps moving again to the ethereum as they can't get the demand from the DOT. It will be useless if you are using the new smartcontract platforms cuased by the hype and it will not have a long term prospect that can affects your platform.

That's it! then why these speculators been talking so impossible here, did they analyze briefly how come they'd able to come up on that certain idea? Well, of course many members of this project is now starting to roll over their mindset and basically a mindset build up has been established. As said killing eth, is hard to do because the community had a strong pillars already.

Polka dot is an advanced blockchain project with cross-chain compatibility so that it can also work with ethereum where needed so I would take it positively and I think such projects will take the blockchain technology and crypto market forward.

who predicted it? although it is true that Polkadot becomes top 3 on coinmarketcap, but Polkadot will never overtake Ethereum which is in the top 2 on coinmarketcap, because rank 1 is Bitcoin and rank 2 is Ethereum, so until anytime this rank will be difficult to replace, although XRP once replaced Ethereum, but it's easy for Ethereum to return its position again (rank 2 on coinmarketcap), so I am sure that nothing will be able to beat or replace Ethereum and besides that for Polkadot to be able to replace or beat Ethereum and get into the top 3 on coinmarketcap, then Polkadot needs a very hard struggle, because there are 7 altcoin that Polkadot has to beat (Polkadot position is currently rank 10 on coinmarketcap).

we wait until the ethereum 2.0 network operates normally. if this new network still can't solve ethereum's scalability and high fee problems. maybe Polkadot has a chance to compete with ethereum. but to kill it will never be possible.

Polka dot is open-source and it's a very promising project. It's a still young gun, just a few days back listed on the CMC but within these days the value of this coin is growing exceptionally well. It can be a most important competitor but I don't think it can kill ETH through its policy and the technical side are more effective than Polkadot.

There were several good open source project like polkadot but it never had beaten the ethereum network. As far as I know it is the most used network out of others in using smart contracts. Now it in terms of rank it is second and I only saw it became third when XRP got all the way to 1 USD. Now there's no other coin who could've done that as XRP is falling recently.

I don't think it's about superiority, In the blockchain world, users can choose freely among various networks, protocols, and ecosystems.
Polkadot will not replace Ethereum, because each platform has its own unique value, Just as Ethereum will not replace Bitcoin

You said it very rightly that it is not about superiority of Block chain, every Block chain has its own use case. Polka Dot and Ethereum, both are used to create smart contracts, it is true that Ethereum is very popular coin and it has very strong user base and most of alt coins including DEFis are using its network but it is facing issue of scalability and higher Gas/Transaction fees which is not being resolved despite launching of Ethereum 2.0. When we look at Polkadot it is using Multi chain network, that makes the network very fast and results in lower gas fees. It has made tremendous progress during 2020. Its price jumped from $2 to $ 11. 450% price increase in one year is very impressive and signifies its acceptance as alternative option for creating smart contracts.  

There were many Ethereum killers but Ethereum is still alive. Polkadot will take its place on the crypto market because it's a good project but Ethereum also shows nice results in best developments.

Polkadot seems to be the golden boy of L1 for now but I am not rely buying into the hype thought is very promising but they first need to deliver on this promise first, if Polkadot succeed to be the first real threat to Ethereum expect the value from Ethereum to move to Polkadot

I had almost of same question but later after watching few videos, I understood that it will not be the ether killing coin. Even Gavin too said that Polkadot isn’t going to replace Ethereum. It's kind of sideway for ETH.

At the moment, it is obvious that Polkadot technologies and capabilities are becoming as popular as Ethereum technologies and capabilities, so I think that now these two altcoins will compete very strongly with each other and therefore both altcoins will develop even faster, but I do not think that Polkadot can overtake Ethereum at the moment, but in the future everything is certainly possible, so we need to wait a while for Polkadot to gain momentum.

Yes. Polkadot is attracting investor interest. I don't think it's easy for a new project to get the best position, but Polkadot is able to do it. The price of DOT coins has increased very drastically, even beating the old coins. This is a success for the Polka project.

Your prediction was very strong. Polkadot is already in 4th place, next could be third place. Polkadot can't kill Ethereum blockchain, within a few months polkadot hype will be lost as others blockchain. Only a few years ago we compared so many blockchains with Ethereum, but finally only Ethereum blockchain survived.

Actually Polkadot organize is still distant from what Ethereum is since the one who made these two is the same individual which makes them comparable to each other. However in terms of ubiquity and number of financial specialists I question that Polkadot might beat the Eth that simple for most speculators would or maybe remain with the one that has as of now an set up establishment rather than attempting a modern one which may put them into hazard for the moment time.

The very nature of ETH, even there's project which showing great performance ETH stand still and continue to develop, bringing more investors

interest and support, Polkadot showed a huge jumped bringing  more attentions to possible investors, for now, there are people who might be

starting to place their money to this project that might impact more the position of this coin but still far replacing ETH.

I believe Polkadot is a good project for investment, because Polkadot's price increase was beyond my expectation. Even 4 days ago the price hit
an all time high of $ 19.32. Even Polkadot's market cap finally made it past XRP, so for now Polkadot is in the top 4 based on the ranking on
the CMC sites.

This has proven that in 2021 Polkadot is increasingly attractive to investors, but to be able to beat Ethereum I'm not sure. Because Ethereum's
popularity is still very high compared to Polkadot, it will take a long time if Polkadot wants to beat Ethereum.

Well Polkadot is certainly better than Ethereum in many ways but Ethereum has early starter advantage.
It will not be possible for polkadot to beat Ethereum once eth 2 is completely rolled out.
Just like there are better cryptos than BTC but BTC still the king because of its early start advantage.

I don't think it will kill Ethereum, it just becomes another possibility to run transactions on.
It will become a competitor but it will not kill Ethereum.

There will never be a platform who will be going to kill ethereum. As far as I know that this is already declared that so many times by various platforms to compete with ethereum but they can't even surpass ethereum's mcap.
DOT is only getting short term traction that created the pump. i do believe if the DOT's bullish trend will be ending very soon too.

It will be another alternative chain for ethereum and that's the only thing that can be achieved by DOT. It's quite impossible for DOT to replace ethereum as the best smartcontract platform.
People are putting ethereum as the best choice for the tokenization purpose and defi development.
They will not try to move into the another platform.
Some projects that decided to build their dapps on DOT just wanna to get the ride for the hype.

You are right that it will not be easy for Polkadot to replace Ethereum because a Huge number of Alt coins have created their smart contracts on Ethereum network that is why there is congestion and we have to pay huge Gas and Transaction fee. Scalability is another issue which Ethereum IT team is trying to resolve but so far no significant improvement has been witnessed. Polkadot works works on Multiple chain concept that is why transactions are executed fast on its network. Polkadot dot has made huge progress during past one year Now it stands on Rank # 4 on coinmatketcap which is great achievement.

There are few coins that are top 10 altcoins rank in 2016 and they loss the rank unexpectedly, I still remember blackcoin and others very well, I know Ethereum is far stronger but new projects are showing more interests in Polkadot, people that's a big problem for Ethereum if you ask me

ERC20 still by far the most used by the new projects and many existing projects which uses ERC20 token for their project still stand strong too.
It's just really hard to compete with ETH right now considering how many projects out there invested into its system and seem hesistant to move to other blockchain despite the fee problem.Honestly, if polkadot could ever reach #3 biggest market cap as true decentralized crypto it's already outstanding performance, oh wait it already is.

Polkadot has had success lately. Yes, this cannot be ignored. But for now, it does not look like it will be a rival or be a threat to Ethereum. There has to be more for this. In such a short time, Etherum cannot shift the position it has held for years.

Ethereum is the foundation of the biggest ecosystem in the Blockchain space. A big key is a very loyal community for any challenger, no matter if that will be Polkadot or Dfinity at the end of the day. Ethereum has a massive headstart.

Even for a coin like Polkadot which got a lot and I mean a LOT of press coverage recently (not to mention the previous years of development and attention), it's a long way to go to reach the utility of networks like TRON or EOS even, never mind to talk about Ethereum. It's got to pass a lot of early hurdles first before Tether IMO.

I don't think DOT will ever surpass ETH.
But I personally think DOT is a very good project.
I hold DOT in my wallet all the time.

The market is not big yet and there is enough room for everyone. Also, do not forget that polkadot is done by the same people who did ethereum. In the future, they will develop shoulder to shoulder :D

Many ETH competitors have claimed to be the "Ethereum Killer", failing in the long run. The same will happen with Polkadot despite being technically superior than ETH in every way. Remember, it's not about scalability, but rather decentralization/security/censorship-resistance. Ethereum may be slower and much more expensive to use than other smart contract platforms, but its level of decentralization is beyond compare. This is what truly matters in order to ensure applications run as intended without third-party interruptions. After all, decentralization is what Blockchain tech is all about. Competing chains like Polkadot and TRON often sacrifice decentralization for convenience/speed/cost-effectiveness. This makes them more vulnerable to attacks and manipulation than Ethereum itself.

Nonetheless, it'll be quite hard (if not impossible) to take down Ethereum's place on the crypto market. It's still the world's most popular smart contract platform with new dApps and tokens popping up every day. Polkadot won't stand a chance against ETH's large user base. It may end up being an alternative to the Ethereum blockchain than a replacement. This is similar to other altcoins' hope to replace Bitcoin in the future. Yet, they've failed as Bitcoin's market dominance is unbeatable. At least, Polkadot will be able to last a long time thanks to the ever-growing support from the community. Just my thoughts ;D

Polkadot has a lot of potential, but it's a big leap. Even if Polkadot turns out to be Ethereum-like in terms of decentralized applications, or to have the same 'space advantage' as Ethereum, it will remain a niche platform. I don't see Polkadot as a serious competitor to Ethereum and don't expect Polkadot to ever become Ethereum.

Polkadot needs really a lot of time to catch ETH. 90% of tokens are eth20 so there goes that. Most important thing is that there is potential. Maybe like in 5-10years there will be some project that will come on pair with ETH. Polkadot has that potential but also Cardano and some others. We will see what will happen.

Polka dot is an progressed blockchain extend with cross-chain compatibility so that it can too work with ethereum where required so I would take it emphatically and I think such ventures will take the blockchain innovation and crypto advertise forward.Still need to more home work to cross ETHER. The most popular coin after BITCOIN i Ether and the usage of Ether also rising.

what did you mean about this words "thats a big problem for ethereum" buddy
seems polkadot is not that big for eth, because ethfoundations already become the best foundations in this crypto world now
remember polkadot is just an ethereum competitors, not a big problem

I admit that Polkadot does have a good project, but that doesn't allow Polkadot to beat Ethereum, because the project from Ethereum is also good and more popular than Polkadot (many project have used smart contract from Ethereum), besides that the trading volume of Ethereum is also very high and Ethereum is ranked 2nd in coinmarketcap, so it proves that Ethereum is still the best (there are still many people who believe to investing in Ethereum), so nothing can beat or replace Ethereum, including Polkadot.

In the business world competition is natural. As in the crypto industry, where all altcoins also compete to be the best in order to get a lot of attention from traders and investors. Polkadot is currently competing with ethereum technology. However, ethereum is still in the top position and at the moment it may be difficult to rival ethereum and replace the ethereum position for polkadot. Polkadot still needs a long journey to build a community as strong as ethereum community.

You must see this https://icodrops.com/category/upcoming-ico/
The majority of new projects are still choosing ERC20 over POLKA assets. that means if there's no a lot of new platforms going to the DOT. Some platform may go for it but it's only to catch the hype that's still around DOT.
You must watch it dude.

when EOS and Tron were popular, many said the project would replace ethereum. but now look, ethereum is still the best. So if anyone thinks Polkadot can replace ethereum it's like a dream. In the end, DOT was only used as an alternative, just like other Dapp networks. ethereum will always come first, even though the platform has a lot of problems at the moment.

No. I think. Crypto world is a form of revolutionary competition that lasts and through.  I rate DOT very highly on the past maturing process.  But it needs to be maintained and validated according to better in order to surpass ETH.
Before that, many predictions, comparing XRP, XML, ... will surpass.  But it is not come to done.  ETH is trying harder.  and better if ETH exceeds 5k $ at the year to.

Exactly. It's not about how many "shiny" features a cryptocurrency has, but rather its level of mainstream adoption. Usability is what matters above all else. While Ethereum is slower and much more expensive than its competitors, it has an ever-growing list of dApps and tokens unlike any other smart contract platform in the world today. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has a solid foundation built upon it, with many developers, businesses, and individuals supporting it. With a large user base behind Ethereum, nothing could stand in its way. We've seen how many times ETH rivals have been proclaimed as the "Ethereum Killer" only to fail in the long run. The same thing will happen with Polkadot, becoming an alternative than a replacement of Ethereum.

Nonetheless, time will tell us the fate of Ethereum in the mainstream world. My guess is that it will remain as the "King of Smart Contracts", due to competitors' inability to gain widespread adoption worldwide. It'll be the same situation with Bitcoin right now. Despite many altcoins being superior than Bitcoin in their technical aspects, they've been unable to take its place as the "King of Crypto". Polkadot and other competing smart contract platforms should focus on working together instead of trying to defeat Ethereum. Only then, the crypto/Blockchain land will be a better place to "live" in. Just my opinion :)

That's exactly my thinking.
Part of the reason is that there is always a new threat coming in but that doesn't mean it will kill it, but further strengthen it as Ethereum will improve its technology to stay competitive. Furthermore, I also think that since the three new cryptocurrencies are so much smaller than Ethereum, they will find it more difficult to attract the talented developers, entrepreneurs, business people, and those willing to contribute the vast sums of cash needed to execute a new cryptocurrency project.

yes, if a half of ethereum believers move to polkadot
wich mean they selling their ethereum and buying polkadot, but thats impossible mate,
because now most of crypto believers still give their trust to eth as the best altcoins in the markets

if they are true eth believers they wont think of moving to polkadot but if they are eth believers they will know if what are the disadvantage of eth and if polkadot has its own advantage over eth , eth is now in threat and is now in a sticky situation .

the op's prediction is slowly getting to be realistic because polkadot are now in the 4th spot . is polkadot on its way of killing etherium  ?  , will this be the end of etherium ? eth believers , what was your plans now . are you only going to watch and wont take action

It seems not a rival consider all of the smartcontract platforms will co exist but that just gives another alternative solution for the people for the tokenization purpose. In fact that if there are so many people still issuing their asset into the ethereum. Ethereum can't be replaced by the new project easily. That needs a very long time to make it happen.

Ethereum's foundation is one of the solid ones in the crypto community.
So I don't think DOT will replace or kill eth in easy manner or in the very near future.
They have long years to prove that DOT has advantages over eth.
But project developers have good options now, they can check the viability of their project to be built under DOT.
The more competition that we have in the market, the better for users.
As we will compare the pros and cons on both sides and select which suits best in terms of your needs.

Its still too far for Polkadot to kill Ethereum, furthermore why a community have any mind to kill another community, they should focus on the project they follow to achieve their target and to keep the community.
If that happen, its not impossible to surpass Ethereum in the future.

Polkadot sure have showed its dominance in the market. I do think they have the potential as an alternative to Ethereum, but thats all. We all know that Vitalik Buterin is cooking up ETH 2.0 real good. Expect a sudden pump on ETH soon as it is fully launch.

It would take something catastrophic to really kill Ethereum or to topple it from second place in total market cap. It's network effect is too big to overcome at this point. Other coins that briefly surpassed it like XRP and BCH proved to be too centralized and based on hype. Developers are going to continue to prefer Ethereum because it is more mature and established.

Any smartcontract platforms have potential to be considered as alternative platforms for ethereum and people are know about that so well.
The fact that so many times this thing already discussed and then there was no chance for DOT to kill ethereum.
It's only FUD and people should never feel worry about that.

Waves too was presented as Ethereum killer some years ago but where is Waves today? No way to be seen. It is still struggling at $7. What abut Binance and Ripple? What a sham all those projects are. Once any new project begins to get a rise the next thing is people comparing it with Ethereum or bitcoin to take over from them. Every project have to exist on their own and not be compared to others. Polkadot has alot to do before getting the type of attention Eth has already. No comparison.

Only crypto believers or user moving to polkadot doesn't necessarily means  it's gonna increase the market cap significantly.
The most important thing within ecosystem of certain cryptocurrency more specifically a crypto that specializes in smart contract is the dapp. It's what triggers people to spend their cryptocurrencies and make the market moves. Most of people are just bagholding their ETH without it so peolpe moving over to polkadot isn't enough.

Aside from Cardano which is arguably the Ethereum Killer base on some people, Polkadot is on its way to be a competitor of Ethereum right now.

A coin which came from nowhere and now it is on the top 10 already in terms of market cap. Its too early to predict if Polkadot will do it or if it can really do it since it is very young right now. There are some projects who are under Polkadot right now but when ETH 2.0 will be done, I'm predicting that more will support ETH because of the staking compare to DOT.

Taking over a position doesn't mean death, Polkadot beats XRP but XRP is still alive, Polkadot is a altcoin I have respect for because it's been years we have seen new altcoins getting into top 10 on coinmarketcap but things is easier for Polkadot because of its utilities, I won't say it's impossible to defeat Ethereum but Polkadot gotta do alot to take over Ethereum

For me the true investment is the projects that help Polkadot achieve success.
I invested in $PCX they are providing the bridge between Etherium, BTC, KSM etc ... with Polkadot.

This is what is needed we need to combine the projects and make the good ones better using the new ones.

That is why I am a true believer of PCX.

Kind Regards

I think that the altcoin this year has changed in nature, the suitability and adaptability to new needs create a special, interesting and unexpected trend.  DOT is a coin in the trend and great attraction in the past.  I think the competition in this year's altcoin season will be fierce.  Any stumble similar to XRP will become a dual trend, and will be displaced from both its position and its user base.  DOT has the potential to increase capitalization if it continues to focus on product development and expertise for the Multi-chain improvement roadmap, which is a distinctive feature of DOT's branding. It shows that DOT has risen to become a competitor capable of surpassing ETH in the future.

Polkadot is indeed a new project that we can rely on for the foreseeable future, and I am very confident that polkadot will rival the top crypto value in the future, we hope to rival ethreum and it will not be impossible to take an ethreum position although this is very difficult because some days the value of ethreum is again increasing, for now we have to invest in polkadot because this project has high potential.

I do agree that polkadot itself can't succeed without any help. Ethereum is not the second ranked coin because it is great itself, it is ranked second because there are thousands of other coins that is tied to ethereum chain, look at metamask and you will see a thousand different coins all tied to erc20 and that is the reason why ethereum became so big, even defi ones are tied to ethereum as well.

So long story short if polkadot wants to be huge, it needs to have a lot of other projects built on top of it, no coin can surpass ethereum all by itself without any usecase or reason to buy it, people need a reason to buy a coin and if you do not provide them enough reasons it will just become "buy it now so you can sell when it goes up" and that is not enough reason to make something become huge. New things that are being built on top of it will show how good it will be.

There are Huge number of Projects using Polkadot network to create smart contracts,  please open below given link to know more about progress/development Polkadot accomplished, during 2020.. The  beauty of the network is it uses Multiple chains concept  to execute transactions which reduces transaction time substantially. Its popularity is growing with every coming day.

https://polkadot.network/polkadot-2020-roundup/

I don't think so ethereum will beat by the Polkadot because for me ether is more potential to this coin but polkadot is a new coin but also potential but it need to prove more before it's more potential to ethereum because ether is already prove that it is very promising coin that the price have good future or the price will going to high in the next few years.

lately Polkadot has indeed shown very good development and is able to be in the top 10 altcoins even some time ago it had shifted XRP but now XRP has succeeded in taking over it again, for me personally until whenever ethereum is the best and nothing can replace its position, so polkadot are not a threat to ethereum

We really can't predict anything these days because the market is purely diplomatic DEFI projects are booming and price are unbelievable if we have a look on polkadot and ETH definitely polka is clearly the game Changer this time.

I was expecting like ETH may go to 5k this time because when compared to BTC but unfortunately it was not upto the mark as it was following its footsteps still I hope it will make a comeback anytime. 

Polkadot is the highest gainer coin in the recent time and jumped top 10 coin as well that makes the HOLDers proud. Polkadot has great tech and team. Polkadot development is on right track, so DOT might get up to 50 USD soon or even more in the near future.

I don't think so, There are lot more project in Etherium,

You can call out investors all you want but thinking about beating Ethereum is a joke if that's the main reason on why Polkadot is established, Ethereum has worked its way to the top, also for other coins, Polka has reached that price already, that's honestly not bad, but I'll be waiting in the next few months and see if they'd be consistent or a one hit wonder, I'm not against Polkadot, I'm just saying not to overhype it that much, it's still too early.

you mean polkadot will completely replace ethereum? I think not even though Polkadot will develop further still eth will be known as the first smart contract maker and if polkadot is monitored 100 $ maybe eth will be at 5000 $ later.

We do not need to create comparison posts with each new project against btc and eth. As far as the project provides more utilities and innovation in crypto market and help in mass adoption we should support it and i do not think a new project can replace long rooted established projects.

I agree with you. I don’t get why one framework should kill the other. These projects are all emerging solutions geared towards making the exchange of digital information secure and efficient. Each have their own contribution and whatever weakness is discovered on one framework, another framework will attempt to solve. They’re all working in the same space and whatever innovation one comes up with, another will try to improve. I think that’s healthy for this dynamic space.

when it comes to the tokens, they’re all speculative tools. What drives demand for a certain token? Coin features, a good press release (hype), use case, drama (lol), a famous person’s recommendation, community support, etc.

So let’s forget about killing and just support those projects that have significant contributions in crypto space.

The KiLL part is where I don't get, If XRP killed after Polkadot took over it's position? The fact is Polkadot have lots to do if the project teams really have in mind to defeat Ethereum, I'm not going to say it's impossible but Im sure it's going to be a very tough thing to achieve

Achieving that is a very difficult goal to achieve, it is true that Polkadot is one of the Ethereum killers,
but not only Polkadot can kill Ethereum, many other candidates such as Waves, Qtum and also Tron. Look, to be honest I'm not a fan of Ethereum,
but if you look at the existing ecosystem, Ethereum is one of the best altcoin projects so far, yes, I'm sure Ethereum will always stay in second place.

I think it is more possible for polkadot and eth to be compared. polkadot offers blockchain system as well same as eth, few projects are switching to polka for faster transaction and less fees, and yes it is possible to surpass eth with polkadot. but it will takes some time, it will not go easily but if they want to become number two coin they need to provide good quality services and they need to provide news that can elevate their number of users and investors.

Well, you are right that lots of project comes in Polkadot blockchain network. And also polka dot generate a huge amount of market cap volume. But that's not enough to compete with a project like ethereum. Firstly you have to understand that if polkadot network choose lots of project then othersite lots of project also choose ethereum network. So here is a huge competition and you choose a moutain hill type competitor like ethereum which is world 2nd largest market cap volume generated project and people's 2bd choice and trusted crypto project. So it us nit easy. But in this place we can say both are best from their own place. I hope you must be satisfied with my replied.

In a simple reply, I did say No, polkadot is never going to kill eth for whatever reason or reasons, but I do believe that the project will do well even more than its currently doing, but when it coming to killing eth, it is just some kind of a joke, and just like some posters already said, polkadot posses absolutely no threat to ether, eth will be here for a very very long time.

That might be the actual scenario to happened after that certain point in terms of value, Polkadot is gaining but also Eth doing the same and with lots of supporters and investors who continue to value this coin, it's still far from being replaced as the 2nd top project inside this market,.


Indeed, the good thing is to catch out the pump and enjoy the benefits, instead of thinking of it as a replacement of ETH success
treat it as investment asset then enjoy the benefits.

until now i see there is no altcoins going to kill ethereum, even the rising start in crypto world called polkadot
i like this coin, but i never think this coin will kill ethereum my friend

One of the main person behind polka dot is the former perhaps co-founder of ethereum so im sure he is not here to kill other projects because he must know how the market works, i do regard polkadot as an innovative and advanced project but it will not be able to kill ethereum though it is an outstanding addition in the market.

Sorry for interfering, but I fully support Polkadot. Compared to Ethereum, DOT has excellent tokenomics and the value of the token is immediately explicable by means of lock for parachains. As for ETH, the only thing coins are needed for is to transfer funds.

Please do not compare with Grandfather and Grandson, everybody knows about ETH growth value, on the other side Polkadot just started their journey last month, obviously, DOT is a profitable coin, maybe Polkadot will be on the rise in the future but ETH already leading in cryptomarket. I think it's quite impossible for Polkadot  to kill Ethereum within short period.

Polkadot has a protocol for blockchain communication. Developers decide for themselves what transaction fees to charge and when to confirm transactions.
This is very convenient, but despite the popularity and advantages of Polkadot, it will take a long time to become a full-fledged competitor to Ethereum.

Yes, a very correct remark, but the main thing in tokenomics, because it is tokenomics that gives value to the PolkaDot coin. Therefore, it is necessary to talk about tokenomics.

Every coin that is in the top 5 might already have this kind of thread, except for USDT (I think).

The possibility is always there but ETH is just too huge now compared to the coin behind it, for now XRP is next to ETH with only $18 billion marketcap while ETH already at $150 billion.

Per record in CMC, DOT has only $14 billion, so it's just less than 10% of ETH's marketcap, it's a tough battle if it aim to kill Ethereum.
The number speaks for the reality, we can't deny it.

Many predictions say there will be a lot of coins that can kill Ethereum but the reality is that until now Ethereum is still too strong. Even though the current polka-dots are good and potential but Ethereum is still too strong to beat

That's right, I think that it will only be in vain because right now, Ethereum is still in second place,
what is certain is that if there is a coin that is trending up it is not necessary to predict that it will overturn ethereum,
because it is absolutely impossible to be able to shift ethereum,
apart from that all polkadot are indeed interesting enough for us to follow its development and to what extent will the coin grow

Probably not, since it was more likely that ETH  (https://trade.kucoin.com/ETH-BTC)and DOT will collab instead of competing with each other

What is even there to compete about? They aren't same thing and Ethereum is even older, Polkadot have good utilities too and I do hope they keep doing there best, Ethereum have a big place in our developers heart and I don't think that's ever going to change soon, if truly Polkadot is going to defeat Ethereum it's not going to be easy

Ethereum, Polkadot, Binance  chain, Tron and many other Networks are used to create smart contracts , Apps and dApps. Their use case is almost similar to each other but there is no doubt that Ethereum is very popular coin and holds its Rank#2 on coinmarketcap since long time because of its edge to launch earlier. Technically speaking Polkadot is using concept of Multiple chains to execute transaction that is why its transactions speed is faster and its Developers are working day and night to make it a better network with more features at less cost whereas the issue of scalability on ethereum network remains unresolved. that is why it has jumped to Rank # 5 during 2020 and its price increased many folds.

eth has strong team continuously developing their platform and so with the other platforms. however, the difference is how popular it is in the crypto community. thousands of projects are based on eth network, though not many are working or functional, still it would take time for polkadot to attract projects to be built under their network.
right now, not many people know how to create project under DOT. remember, in eth, there are even tutorials on how to create your own smart contract in one hour. so let's see how practical it is to build project under DOT. let us hope this will not be another breeding ground for scammers..lol but right now, dot is not going to kill eth.. still far from happening

I doubt that DOT would simply overcome ETH (https://trade.kucoin.com/ETH-BTC). Even though we see Polkadot rising and climbing up the rankings, its just too far from Ethereum. Volumes on exchanges are far too huge of a distance. But props to DOT for making it this far ahead in the competition.

Polkadot may surpass Ethereum in terms of network activity/transaction volume. But it'll never be able to take its place as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Despite the high fees and slow transaction confirmation times, Ethereum is still the most popular smart contract platform in the world. The ever-rising number of dApps, and tokens speak for themselves. Polkadot is going to have a hard time trying to become the leader of the smart contracts space, since Ethereum still dominates a large portion of the market. Developers seem to be inclined towards Ethereum because of its decentralization and censorship-resistance. No other smart contract platform is as secure and reliable as Ethereum is. Besides, many projects that claimed to be the next "Ethereum Killer" have failed in the long run. What makes Polkadot any different?

Nonetheless, the odds of Polkadot "killing" Ethereum are very slim. It's like saying Ethereum will "replace" or "kill" Bitcoin in the long run. Polkadot may only rise to become the world's third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap after Ethereum. For what I know, anything can happen in this strange and bizarre world of crypto. Either DOT succeeds or go all the way down the drain like the rest of ETH's competitors. At least, there's healthy competition in the crypto/Blockchain space. Just my thoughts ;D

Big people have big plans for using Ethereum for their big goals. And Polkadot will take a very long time to at least come close to Ethereum in terms of cost. Nevertheless, the Dot coin gives great hopes and shows good dynamics and development, which is liked by many investors. 8)

I thought, there is a possibility for blockchain technology to emerge and become the Ethereum killer, but the question is how likely is that? Polkadot, another coin might be a threat to Ethereum but I don't think that's happening anytime soon. In the real use case ethereum still has many advantages be it price, platform, community, developer performance and other advantages that ethereum has.

Polkadot should worry about Cardano instead .

Ethereum is unkillable .

Polkadot will never be able to compete against Ethereum, because it doesn't have a solid ecosystem of dApps and tokens behind it. The reason why Ethereum is still the leader is because most projects are built on it. Besides that, the ETH blockchain is one of the most decentralized ones in the world today. No matter how many features a project has, it'll never be able to compete with Ethereum if it's missing two key elements: mainstream adoption, and decentralization. The DOT token's sudden rise is largely attributed to the "De-Fi" craze which began since the COVID-19 pandemic took the world by storm. It could all be over once the hype comes to an end. I believe that Polkadot will end up like many other ETH competitors in the long run, unable to overcome Ethereum in market cap and mainstream adoption. Who knows what will happen in a few years from now?

Nonetheless, I still believe Polkadot is a good project. It might be able to stand the test of time if developers, and the community support it every step of the way. Instead of replacing Ethereum, Polkadot could become a viable alternative for those looking into saving off transaction fees and reducing wait times. People will be able to select from one blockchain to another depending on current network load. Let's hope Polkadot and Ethereum work together in order to make crypto/Blockchain land a better place. Just my opinion :)

Your opinion is very nice and balanced  opinion, indeed. The beauty of Polka dot network is its Multi-chain network that makes transaction speed faster and less costly. Its clients and community are growing with every coming day. It has shown massive growth during the past month and continues to grow.. Its current price is around 31$ and Technically, it is  in uptrend. Some technical analysts predicting its price in 3 digits. You never know what tomorrow brings for you. Crytpo space always comes with surprise.

It additionally has a great deal of local area drove activities. However, the value rise is simply because of the trades and the informal investors abusing those intrigued by it. I question that Polkadot could beat the Eth that simple for most financial backers would prefer to remain with the one that has effectively a set up establishment as opposed to attempting another one which could place them into hazard for the subsequent time.

The possibility of surpassing Ethereum can be seen from the technicality of the polkadot who have their own way of surpassing Ethereum..
But it all has to be full of struggles because it has to convince many people who actually still believe in Ethereum based projects..

although polkadot has the better and latest updates from ethereum. But for now, in terms of volume strength, ethereum is still stronger than polka-dots. It's just how polka-dotted can fight Ethereum from that side

What kind of belieeve do you mean? Can't we now see that a lot of people really believe in polkadots?
polkadot has survived to this day in the top 10 market cap, this is proof that many people believe in polkadot and are just waiting for polkadot to be massively adopted :)

It is possible that polka-dots will compete with Ethereum and it is also possible that polka-dots will beat ethereum. The reason I say that is because polka dots were created by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, thus he has every means to raise the price of polka dots over ethereum.

Polkadot still has a long way to go before it matches ethereum. In fact, ADA and BNB are also talked about matching ethereum. but I think ethereum will still be the best altcoin compared to other assets for me. DOT is now popular but we won't know if the DOT market will last long or just take advantage of the bull market.

If we are talking about possibilities then it's yes maybe.

But what we are currently seeing is there are more ETH supporters who are partying with how this coin rise, though the gas fees are really affecting small players, but since the chain was mostly used, the rise still moving. Currently there might be a some corrections from the whole market, we don't know what is coming after.

DOT still has to show a working concept from their ecosystem. So far, it’s just the Binance Smart Chain that has shown what bep20 does and how much it costs to move funds using their network. Indirectly, I suppose that this also credits cosmos since the bsc is built from cosmos and tendermint. If polkadot can be more efficient that bsc, and have that many dapps running on its network without having the outrageous gas fee, then Polkadot can be better than Ethereum. At the moment, it’s the Binance Smart Chain that’s a threat to Ethereum

I question that DOT would basically kick ETH off the too. Despite the fact that we see Polkadot rising and scaling the rankings, its only excessively far from Ethereum. Volumes on trades are unreasonably tremendous of a distance. In any case, props to DOT for making it this a long ways ahead in the opposition.

today price DOT tokens very persistent, despite the fact that bitcoin is crazy. If this continues, the value of the DotA will increase to previously unheard-of heights.

Ethereum is still the best choice for blockchain developers I think I heard it from a YouTubers interview and polkadot would not gonna surpass that Ethereum would still continue to increase its market price but developers are also looking into or considering polkadot as an alternative. when it comes to the network investors could easily be attracted to the polkadot project because of its potential and high market cap in the market. I would say polkadot have a much solid foundation compared to other altcoins in the market

Alternative blockchain projects might as well forget about replacing or "killing" Ethereum. They should focus on working together in order to make crypto/Blockchain land a better place. Despite other smart contract platform's high transaction capacity, none have been able to outmatch Ethereum because they lack mass adoption in the mainstream world. Most dApps and tokens are created on the Ethereum blockchain, leaving its competitors in the dust. Developers are still interested in Ethereum because of its widespread community support, and its unrivaled decentralized design. As long as this is the case, Polkadot and other alternative smart contract platforms won't be able to stand a chance against Ethereum.

At least, Polkadot is doing well as a standalone smart contract platform. Its active development and innovation will keep it going for years on end. No one knows what will happen in the future with any given crypto project. That's because the crypto/Blockchain space is extremely unpredictable. But I can tell you for sure, that Ethereum ain't going anywhere. We may end up with many alternative blockchain platforms each with their own use cases for the mainstream world. As long as decentralization is kept in mind, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my opinion :)

not soon mate, but i believe if polkadot will never beat the ethereum
because ethereum is too strong, and for me not only polkadot as a close competitors of ethereum but BSC and cardano too buddy
but, all altcoins above will never kill the ethereum

You are wrong because Polkadot has no goal to compete with Ethereum. Because Polkadot, on the contrary, wants to unite all the blockchains, even Bitcoin, so that they develop more. If you want to know the potential of Polkadot, I recommend watching this channel https://www.youtube.com/c/KryptosChain/videos

I am confident and convinced that time will pass and DOT will take a leading place in its kind, now Polka has so broken into the top 3 CMC and the token on the polka KSM network is trading better than others, DOT is now undervalued and a bright future awaits it.

when it happens and develops seriously in the market. then there will be a platform that regulates all of our transactions on one chain. wouldn't that also be an opportunity for polka-dots to become very overpowering in the crypto market?

What make you believe with polkadot can kill ethereum looking price between dot and eth so far away, any good news and advantage from dot coin could destroy eth? many time I see any prediction coin about some coin will kill and destroy eth but not any coin can have power become competitor for eth, eth keep going up and altcoin other under eth price.

As far as I know, all the excitement that rises around the confrontation between Ethereum and Polkadot, first of all, appeared due to a statement in Bloomberg, although in essence it was about something completely different. In addition, venture capitalists and CEOs of cryptocurrency companies do not consider Ethereum and Polkadot to be competitors at all.

Even though Polkadot is currently experiencing an increase, it is still unable to shift ethereum.
and indeed there has always been something like this that there are coins that have the potential to shift Ethereum but in reality it is just empty,
So I think it's a waste of time and I still believe in ethereum

It won't be easy for the Polka dot to challenge ETH as many working projects. but still ETH is much more effectively traded. BTC being the 'Gold standard' of crypto, Ethereum is the standard of blockchain. Polkadot will not be able to replace Ethereum but will perform better in the future. Because ETH is too tough and more popular than Polkadot.

hmm not only Polkadot which is a close competitor Ethereum, but there are still some other top altcoin like BNB and can even also for altcoin out there can be a killer Ethereum, but I think it will not happen in the near future. ethereum still dominates the second rank based on market capitalization CMC.

Guys, please find out what this project is and what is its purpose. And only then draw conclusions. Don't mislead people by creating artful competition

Ethereum is more popular coin than polkadot and people trust Ethereum more than any altcoin because of the safe investment. Eth showed a gradual growth which is acceptable for almost every traders the reason is every trader want long term investment so Eth is always good for long term investment. Polkadot will take time to reach 1k$ milestone.

lot of coin claim that they will kill and take ethereum crown beside bitcoin but until now no one can do it but i believe if ethereum still this slow to push eth 2.0 maybe cardano, polkadots and the one and only binance move this fast in growing with binance smart chain and low gas fees ethereum will get left behind 

Yes, all of that is just a bluff of new tokens and coins so that they are always being glimpsed by many people, especially investors, so it's only natural that they will say that so people think they are strong, even though until this very second Ethereum is still is in a position of its own and nothing can disturb it except Bitcoin.

There is a huge gap between these two coins, while ethereum has been here for a long time, Polkadot is just a newbie, wanting to take the place of ethereum is the desire of many other altcoins but in the end, ethereum is proving its position to be unshakable. This competition is probably just a mutual stimulus, Polkadot's value has soared and ethereum has also started to fix its problems, rather than saying Polkdadot is trying to kill Ethereum, we should say that the two are going up together, competition for growth and this is beneficial for us to invest

Polkadot show very promising growth and development in just a short span of time which is very significant to make it a good contender of ethereum blockchain. And because of that there is a very huge possibility that it can surpass and out perform ethereum especially in terms of transaction speed and gas fee which is mostly needed by us crypto enthusiasts. In addition, If the Eth 2.0 will not fix the problem they are having within their blockchain, I can strongly say that its an end of an era for ethereum and its the beginning of a new powerhouse blockchain and that is "POLKADOT".

I can still say that it still depends on whether polkadot will present a big coming project that will attract investors to invest a large amount there is a chance to seize the ethereum throne in the coinmarket but to do this polkadot must not just promise to show of the evidence that polkadot will outperform ethereum so that many investors will believe and increase its investors but based on my opinion it is unclear that polkadot will replace ethereum in coinmarket because ethereum is a big project and many support ethereum.

Polkadot has its popularity nowadays. late last year a lot of people talked about it and early last year in the pump market she also had her moment. I think the potential for Polkadot to compete in the market with Ethereum, as well as BNB, will be even harder. but to kill ethereum I think polka dots will take decades longer when ethereum is no longer on the market.

I don't understand why binance is here and its pricing policy. As for me, DOT is a very interesting project with a good future. There may be corrections in the market, there is nothing without them, but in the long dot it will definitely be better than ether and this will affect its price.

idont think so its defend on chart bro . may be polkadot can kill ethereum killer or maybe bnb can be a ethereum killer , but for me its better to hold polkadot now soon it will be a greate high price in comming years hold polkadot

Traders get used to Ethereum as the most wild-popular and trusted cryptocurrency after BTC, as well as project developers get used to create their new projects on ETH Blockchain. That is the one of the reasons why BNB is not a competitor to ETH. As for Polkadot, it's a very promising crypto on very attractively constructed Blockchain but we still need time to see if it will gain such popularity as ETH Blockchain.

Ethereum do not just take the second for position, it is the most robust ecosysytem in the space and will take more than what Polkadot is doing to dethrone Ethereum, the scaling issue is a big threat to Ethereum for now but there are a lot of L2 solutions coming to the market that will help to alleviate the gas price issues when Dapps starts deploying them, just imagine Uniswap and Sushi move to L2 the gas price will plummet instantly because these 2 are great user of the Ethereum resources. Polkadot is a good tech but need to deliver not just the hype

First of all i am not agree that DOT will beat ETH as lots of projects finished and runing with ETH or ETH blockchain. Yea as a new in market DOT has explore too much as its function and blockchain system is very good but we have to bear in mind that ETH 2.0 has came side by side of ETH. So day by day they will also upgrade their system and ETH will be more faster. So I think after BTC will be carry number one altcoin in market.

I think it's more possible that Cardano can come close to ETH. As for ETH 2.0 it will need some time to do it. Cardano has done same for like couple of years so I don't think ETH can do it so fast.

Ah .. Cardano fan :)
Since its launch, Cardano has often claimed to be the Ethereum killer.
Even though the development of Cardano has been good so far, they still rank below Eth.
When Ethereum's planned upgrade was successful, improvements Proof of Stake, Plasma, and Sharding.
The other smart contract platforms like Cardano might quickly become irrelevant.

It's not designed to be an Ethereum killer. Gavin Wood himself stated that Polkadot is designed to work in parallel and be complimentary to ethereum and co-exist with each others.

Ethereum is one altcoin that has a large community and many other altcoin project are still working under the Ethereum today. BNB and DOT are competitors and no one know what the future of these altcoin will be like. But I still firmly believe those two altcoin won't kill Ethereum for a long time, but it could still happen if Ethereum fail to fix the fee problem.

All the altcoin on the market today especially the top 10 altcoin are Ethereum's competitors to be the best. Although someday there will be altcoin that can beat ethereum's current market capitalization, but in term of usability, I think Ethereum is still superior.

It takes time, I agree with your statement ETH didn't went up there doing nothing, but by providing useful services where developers enjoyed and really take advanatages of all those available offers.

High fees might turned things against ETH but there's always solutions coming from the team and they'll address it out in order to provide the service with much cheaper possible gas fees.

If Polkadot aimed to dethrone ETH they needed to be more competitive not just hyping but to gather real support
from business side and investors eyes.

Such huge commissions can really turn everything against ethereum, especially until Ethereum 2.0 comes out, the Dot in theory has time to kill ethereum

Polkadot is a good competitor for ETH. However, currently BNB is in the spotlight to replace ETH if Ethereum 2.0 will not solve the high gas fees which is one of the main reasons why most investors are avoiding ethereum platforms. Some projects have switched to the different platform due to its high fees. ADA, BNB, DOT has a lot of potentials, ETH will soon lose its spot if they don't fix the high gas fees.

ethereum has discussed the handling of transaction cost issues which they say will be resolved by the middle of this year. polkadot is indeed a tough competitor but there are still ADA and BNB as you mentioned. both have more potential. But polkadot are not going to kill the ethereum market or community.

Exactly. Polkadot was never meant to be a replacement of Ethereum. Eventually, people will realize that it's not about fast transaction confirmation times or cheap fees. It's all about decentralization and censorship-resistance for applications to run as intended leaving the middleman out of the system. As I've said many times, no other smart contract platform can outmatch Ethereum in terms of security, reliability, and censorship-resistance. Decentralization is what distinguishes Ethereum from the rest of its competitors on the market. Don't get me wrong though, Polkadot is a very good project with huge potential of making crypto land a better place. It's just that Ethereum has an unbeatable ecosystem of dApps, tokens, and services behind it. Most developers build on ETH, because of its widespread community support in the mainstream world. Other platforms are fairly new to the scene and widely untested for serious applications.

Nonetheless, I believe that Polkadot will become another "nail in the coffin". Just like EOS was once hailed to be the "Ethereum Killer" but eventually failed, the same thing will happen with Polkadot, Binance Smart Chain, and others. But who knows? In crypto land, anything can happen. The odds of replacing Ethereum are very slim. But if it does happen, expect many mainstream crypto projects to switch from ETH to DOT leaving the former in the dust. Just my thoughts ;D

I feel happy amd proud that market is coming up with quality solutions just like polka dot last year and it was highly needed because it aims to solve all the inefficacies and hurdles in the market that were kind of a hurdle in the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies likewise all other cryptocoins are also working on their blockchains to meet the high future demands so hopefully this year will be remembered as the year of crypto adoption and boom.

Hopefully that will happen, polkadot will continue to grow and be able to compete in the market and dominate at a good price. but we need to know together that Ethereum will not be defeated by any Altcoin. Ethereum will still be the 2nd digital currency after Bitcoin

Out of all these coins, I believe that Cardano (ADA) is the most technically advanced one. The developers are working hard to resolve various issues, and they have been successful to a certain extent. Ethereum is a second generation cryptocurrency, and it will become obsolete within the next few years, and will be replaced by various third generation cryptos. The extremely high fee will make sure that the shift occurs soon.

At most polka might just become an alternative to ETH and not replace it entirely, the competition for top crypto is really tough and as you've seen despite BNB having its own momentum and performs really good they still sometimes gets taken over by other altcoin let alone killing ETH.
It seems the #1 and #2 position almost always belong to BTC and ETH tbh, the gaps of market cap too wide.

I think that it is necessary to evaluate competitive projects for Ethereum not according to current indicators, but according to their capabilities in the future. Polkadot, Cardano, BNB are very promising projects, with powerful capabilities and a solid base. They all have the potential to catch up with Ethereum in terms of technical performance.

But you need to remember that the Ethereum team is also strong enough to prevent the collapse of ETH. And now it is still very early to draw any conclusions. It seems to me that none of the listed coins have a goal to kill ETH.

We do not know what will happen in the future, it is possible that ethereum will be displaced by Polkadot...
the development of Polkadot is very fast and it makes predictions like this one appear. I don't really hate Eth, it's just that until now there has been no serious resolution about gas fees, even eth 2.0 is still an issue.

The possibility is always there but I think it is too early for DOT in this market. ETH has been the go-to of a lot of projects for years. And once ETH team deployed their phase 1 of eth 2.0, things may change for the better. We will see their performance this year if their developments has improvement on their gas efficiencies. Because if gas fee is not addressed this year, more than likely people will really go to other networks like DOT or BSC.

Polkadot cannot kill ethereum, rather i think it will provide the much needed competition in the DeFi space of the cryptocurrency markets.
Polkadot is a platform for creating complex Defi projects which can reasonable provide a high level of finance on-chain for crypto users.

Ethereum on the other hand will continue to be the goto platform for the development of new smart contract projects

you know people, they always want to kill something. lol
but should be realistic with things here. yes, polkadot is a very promising platform, but their services is not yet proven to be adopted by so many projects. lets talk when even half of the number of projects are going to dot and not in eth platform.
i just remember, a lot of coins wanted to kill BTC. but who was killed first?  ;D

I don't think Ethereum will become replaced by another smart contract platform in the future. The team is working hard on the Ethereum project delivering innovation as usual. It's just that ETH is advancing at a slow and steady pace in order to remain as secure, stable, and decentralized as possible. Things will become better for ETH once the 2.0 upgrade goes full speed ahead. Polkadot, Cardano, and Binance Smart Chain won't be able to compete with Ethereum, since they lack mainstream adoption. Ethereum has the largest share of dApps and tokens on the industry, even with high fees and slow transaction confirmation times in play. It's hard to imagine Polkadot replacing Ethereum anytime soon.

Nonetheless, it's best for Polkadot and other projects to work together in order to make crypto land a better place. They complement Ethereum when the network becomes extremely congested. ETH is and will always be the "King of Smart Contracts" no matter what. Polkadot is a good project but it doesn't come near as close as Ethereum in terms of security/reliability and mainstream adoption. Time will tell us whenever Polkadot will last for long or fade into oblivion as a failed experiment. I'm sure it'll do fine in the long run as it's backed by prominent developers in the industry. Just my opinion :)

Said it right! but most are just for hyping another project, they are bringing known project and try to speculate.

Nothing has been proven yet in terms of surpassing the success of ETH, though there's certain venue that Dot can get some more attentions than

other projects, but likewise, lets talk when there's already proof that the project do the best.

I don't think Polkadot will kill Ethereum. Although Polkadot has gained a lot of popularity in a short period of time, there is still a long way to go to kill Ethereum. And until then it will survive or disappear, only time will tell.
Ethereum, on the other hand, has been tested for many years. People trust this coin so much. When ethereum's new technology ETH 2.0 fully launched, I think it will go one step further.

At first I believe that there is no altcoins can kill ethereum but with the problem of the gas fee of ethereum right now I changed my mind. Possible there is an altcoins that can kill ethereum if this gas fee is still high in the future. Maybe polkadot or cardano these are strongly competes of ethereum.

polkadot team had amazing job lately and very strong competitor, that's for sure . competition is always beneficial. Also, bsc network is trying to compete ethereum. When the 2.0 update launches, ethereum will show it's power and will keep the leadership.

More than a year and the famed team is not able to sort the issues on what they started and they are forced to change everything and experiment once again and see how it will go and since you mentioned many alternative coins that have superior technology in my opinion i am expecting those to come to the forefront in the future if the misery of ETH continues.

Dot is not a copy of ethereum like Binance Smart Chain, but it is a blockchain with exceptional compatibility with other blockchains.  That's a typical feature that could explode this year.  The defi trend has helped Dot become flexible and easily capture billions of basic user systems in the market.

It is too early to predict what the future holds as we have seen many projects coming up but one thing i can give to ETH is the adoption and the number of supporters they have and with all the transaction issues they are facing for years only a handful of projects shifted to other platforms and if majority of project developers plan on shifting to other platforms like we saw with the recent swap of Binance Smart Chain you never know as Cardano is technically a superior project but they are yet to attract big projects and so is the case with many other similar platforms.



 

Polkadot's rise to the rankings of the sixth largest cryptocurrency occurred as the coin's total market cap was $ 29.7 billion.
As for Polkadot, an operable blockchain network has made a milestone at this time, there is a high probability that this advance may be short-lived.
but still, we will never know until the end, let's hope that both Polkadot and ETH can keep stable and keep rising to the top.

Everything is possible in crypto though, ETH surely have massive market capital as of now even far surpasses those coins that are below #2 but isn't it good if there happens to be competition between ETH and other coin that could compete while having quite close market cap, if that happens we definitely won't see eth blockchain being too overflowed with all the transactions and the upcoming developers who wants to create token some of them could go to ETH's competitior.

Cardano is on the 3rd place of capitalization. But how many people know about Cardano or Polcadot? What is the difference between Ethereum and Polcadot. It is good that in press appear the articles that explain the technology and the difference between different coins.

I think institutional buyers prefer eth. Also when it comes to selecting blockchain, Ethereum is the preferred one by many established business. Recent Visa moves is manifestation of ethereum's popularity and it's wider acceptance.
No doubt Polkadot is also a good option but it has a long way before it catches you with ethereum.
Eth 2 will further accelerate ethereum adoption.

polka-dotted issue will kill ethereum it comes up every time. but in fact, currently ethereum is still victorious and above the polka-dots. Trust me, don't raise the issue of polka-dots because it's impossible

Now, Polkadot becomes higher and higher again because Binance supports this.
However, will it really kill Ethereum? I think it needs more time to ensure about this. Moreover because of the very high fee needed for the Ethereum or ERC20 transaction fees. Polkadot may become another choice for new projects to set their token on the ecosystem.
However, will it be able to kill?
I am still doubtful about his. It needs something bigger from Polkadot to defeat the ETH platform that has become the first platform used. Maybe, Polkadot is like NEO or EOS at that time that was predicted to defeat or compete with Etehreum but in fact, they cannot.

It is now 390.
And it is now
https://dappradar.com/blog/introducing-the-polkadot-blockchain

What you said is true, polkadot was ranked 3rd in market cap a few weeks ago, but it didn't last long.
Polkadot has extraordinary technology and also low transaction fees, this is the reason many people assume Polkadot will kill ethereum, but I see that Polkadot's vision and mission is not to kill ethereum, but rather want to be another version that is more perfect than ethereum.

We don't need to rush to evaluate and compare these two coins just yet. It is necessary to wait for the Ethereum update or at least three more months until the problem of the high level of transaction fees on the ethereum network is resolved in July. It is not very correct to compare these coins when there are temporary difficulties in ethereum.
After the update within the framework of Ethereum 2.0, it will already be a completely different coin, with improved characteristics, and then it will be possible to compare it with others.

I really don't think it will kill ETH, but maybe also help it out because there are many projects like this (https://stp.network/) that are using Polkadot. It's like building out other option for projects

I also think that ethereum will not be replaced easily. not only polakdot, but BNB is also still quite difficult to replace ethereum's position. however, I still believe that the potential of ethereum isn't really out yet. Although polkadot is a good coin, however, it's still too early to think that polkadot can beat ethereum.

Polkadot, Cardano, and binance will overshadow ethereum. but not to take the place of ethereum. they have good development and a large community. competition in the market will remain, but ethereum will still be the strongest.

seems that Visa does not think that way, and they choose Ethereum network for their stable-coin transactions settlement, did not heard that they considered alternatives and killers

I am not saying that Cardano, Polkadot will not be successful projects, but they should be careful of losing their podium (2,3) spots to Binance, Solana, Cosmos, rather than thinking to kill Ethereum, which is a clear leader and has most innovations in the network, which brought new value, others mostly copy ideas

In my opinion, Polkadot can't kill Ethereum. so far Ethereum is the leader in blockchain space smart contracts. The market capitalization of ETH is bigger. Even though it is polka-dotted with a concept that works with a shared protocol that will allow the Blockchain Network to work with Synergy but it is very difficult to kill Ethereum. Even before the advent of the polka-dotted many other altcoins were trying to weather the Ethereum storm but still couldn't beat Ethereum because ETH was still the king of altcoins.

yes, it is true that until now it is still difficult to make changes, let alone shifting from the altcoin ranking. ethereum is still the best choice to date and we cannot deny it. However, with the high cost of the ethereum platform, someone may try to innovate with cheaper and easier transaction costs.

because the opportunity is very open at this time because there is no change in high costs from ethereum.
It is not impossible with ongoing experiments and no good ethics from ethereum to reduce it, things could happen that change the use of the ethereum platform with other platforms, maybe of course the plan is not easy.

Nothing is guaranteed in the cryptocurrency market. Ethereum has remained as the no.2 cryptocurrency ever since it managed to topple Litecoin from that position in 2015. But that doesn't mean that it's position is permanent. Ethereum was the first among the second generation cryptocurrencies. But now there are growing signs that it's technology is getting outdated. Ethereum is simply unable and incapable to keep up with the large rise increase in userbase.

In my opinion, polkadot altcoins are altcoins that have great potential to be invested in in the long run, but it is highly unlikely that polka dots will kill etherem, because etherem is a very strong altcoin, and of course ETH will dominate the crypto market for much longer ,,,

Ethereum is eternal. I don't see a single competitor who could surpass the Ethereum

Polkadot & Cardano? I don't think so

Yes, besides that Ethereum is also much stronger than Polkadot which surprisingly immediately ranks in the top ten cryptocurrency rankings, but to beat Ethereum is not an easy matter for anyone especially for a new token whose development is still not long.

Even though it will not be eternal, to beat it will be very difficult because Ethereum is already strong compared to other tokens in the crypto space, so when Ethereum development starts to run again, in general it will be difficult to be overtaken by new tokens inside crypto space.

Even without the ETH 2.0 upgrade we all realize that it is not just about speed and fees. It has not been since 2017. Yes people will move to BSC and Polka, as they are doing now,,, but in the end the main developer talents lie at Ethereum and people still want the widest choice of options which is of course on Ethereum.

Polkadot tries to compete only to make a little bit of profit in ethereum's network when the ethereum market is already too large, a few small factors that have not been sustained have made ethereum a negligence in holding projects and as you say, a grain of sand in profits is not enough to jeopardize the existence of ethereum. I'm even thinking of this as a stimulant to speed ethereum's growth, ethereum's heel is plugged too deep in this market, wanting to kill it is not easy, setting such a goal is just to let other altcoins have many aspirations to grow

As long as each development team continues to make improvements to close the gaps in weaknesses, as long as they are competitive with each other.

Keep in mind that to date more than 1k altcoins have tried to compete with bitcoin to be king in terms of price and one of them has overtaken, but it was only briefly and returned to normal. Ethereum has become popular even with many well-known marketplace, gamblers, and other services have adopted ETH as a 2nd payment option besides bitcoin.

I do not think polkadot will take the place of ethereum even if its idea is good in general but when eth 2.0 will come then the eth fee problem will be gone and this will increase the use of the plateform more because now some holders are swaping their eth for other cryptos before withdrawing them so it will oncrease the daily volume and the price as well.

I do not know if you have been around for long, but "ethereum killers" are kind of a buzzword in crypto. NEO was going to be an Eth killer, then NEM, then Waves, then plenty of value went into a miriad of useless tokens... I my view the most serious issue that could affect Ethereum is its own success driving up fees. So the Ethereum strategists could actually be Ethereum killers.

It's possbile too but not die, Basically people will seek Chain with much better Use Case. Ethereum was good but with today condition some alternative starting to rise and one of them is Polkadot, If ETH 2.0 or EIP 1559 was not implemented sooner basically Ethereum will dying slowly, Well it's all just a matter of time. Let's wait and see what will happen next.

We can't deny the fact that Polka has a huge potential to be on top next to Bitcoin but I don't think it could beat or replace Ethereum that easily. It still has a lot to prove and surpass. There were actually lots of coins that attempted to kill Ethereum but none of them became victorious. There will surely be more altcoins that would attempt to beat Butcoin and Ethereum but I don't think they would succeed easily.

It is very difficult for DOT to replace ETH, it is like saying that a cryptocurrency is going to be better than Bitcoin, although ETH is much higher in history than DOT, I understand that for now DOT is going through a not very comfortable moment, at the Watching some news, I came across this analysis:

This gives me to understand that it is a nascent project, it is still difficult to determine what could happen, it is difficult to do a fundamental analysis, I think that it does not yet have the characteristics to compare it with ETH, much less kill ETH.

No doubt that the polkadot has showed an impressive performance in the market, and I was totally impressed. I just regret only that I didn't buy when it was 4$ each a coiple of months past only. It was quick actually and now look at the volume and its development. But it doesn't mean it can kill the Ethereum, of course not that's not going to happen..

The potential for polka-dots is huge to be able to overthrow ethereum, but currently it can't be confirmed because ethereum is still strong. polkadot should probably have a long time for that. the most important thing is that polka dots must make significant progress in order to achieve these goals, even though it will be very tough against ethereum

Correct, among all the coins listed, EOS, ZEC, and many others, if ethereum team will change their way of transaction fee system, then it gonna remain top of altcoin, pokaldot is simply impersonating the features of what eth has and implementing more to it, in my own opinion, the game changer for ethereum is not yet be developed, we never know what the future may look like, but to me, it will take time for the industry to develop something more outstanding than ethereum and even pokaldot.

People who try to compare two coins prices are doing the wrong thing. Even if you are all-in for Dot that doesn't mean that you should want Dot to kill ethereum, that is not good for the market and never really helped anyone in the long run. If you know what you are talking about you would want ethereum to be high, as high as possible, so that Dot would be high as well, and you could make a profit.

So, even if you spent all your money into buying DOT, there is no reason why you should want ethereum to fall, those two things are not correlated, you do not end up being higher just because something is lower, in fact just the opposite DOT goes up when ETH goes up and DOT drops when ETH drops. Which means as a DOT holder you should want all of the other coins to go up as well, eth, bnb, ltc, doesn't matter which coin all should go up so that we could profit all together.

Maybe in recent times Polkadot has indeed shown very good progress, for me personally, until whenever ethereum becomes a giant in the world of cryptocurrency and it will not be easy if someone has the potential to replace its position, and there is no way that ethereum will remain silent if their position is shifted, they have a team. professionals who are sure to innovate to keep them at the level they have been working hard for.

Exactly. We all know that nothing lasts forever. I've seen cryptocurrencies come and go, as the market moves at a very fast pace. Everything depends on demand, more than anything else. So far, Ethereum has the most demand because of its large ecosystem of dApps, tokens, and services. The day when a competitor like Polkadot expands its ecosystem, will be such when ETH will lose its luster. That is of course, if ETH doesn't stay ahead of the game. If Ethereum scales according to mainstream demand, it will remain as the world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Polkadot and other ETH rivals will remain as an alternative than a replacement due to their low level of adoption in the mainstream adoption.

Don't get me wrong, though. Polkadot is a great project with ambitions to make the decentralized web a better place. It's just that the competing smart contract platform has a long way to go before it'll be able to catch up with Ethereum. Saying that Polkadot is going to "kill" Ethereum is like saying Ethereum is going to "kill" Bitcoin. Only time will tell us which cryptocurrencies will survive and which will go down the drain. Just my opinion :)

I don't think that Polkadot will become the killer of Ethereum. the same EOS. in some aspects, it is better. than Ethereum, but it didn't destroy it. Ethereum will remain in the TOP 1 place of the platform for creating smart contracts for a long time.

Ethereum is arguably the strongest Blockchain for altcoins and when the V2 gets introduced which is likely going to be on a proof of stake algorithm, the problems of slow speeds will be effectively tackled. That way even some new Defi ptojects will opt for the ETH v2 Blockchain over the polkadot blockchain. Since there will still be more innovative type of projects that aren't even NFTs and DEFi in the future, the ETH blockchain will remain valueable for a very long time.
 Polkadot cannot kill ethereum because the DEFI niche in the crypto space is only a small section of what cryptos are about,

In general, we can explain a little more that Ethereum has not been beaten by polka dots even though polka dots try to beat the price of Ethereum in general but it is impossible even to standardize the price on the crypto market, as you explained above the Ethereum network has many excellent projects so to equalize it is difficult, but it will always be below Ethereum.

Polkadot is a great altcoin, and has potential because for years we have seen it still in the top 10 on coinmarketcap. everything is easier for polkadot/DOT because with its utility, But in this case i would say that it is impossible to beat Ethereum because Polkadot still has to do more things for its development in order to take over Ethereum. in other words that ethereum is hard to compete with any altcoin.

In general, Polka Dot has a good value to be developed at this time, with the various governances they have developed, but currently Polka Dot is still less attractive to some people, these shortcomings must be overcome from now on to gain public trust in using their transactions.

I'm sure Polka Dot can exist in the future, if the existing shortcomings continue to be developed, but to reach the top 3 in the market cap is still far for them to pursue, currently people understand more about the condition of investors regarding the development of a project that is being initiated, but the problem is that investors believe it or not with the development.

Polkadot is a great smart contract platform. But it's lacking behind other alternatives in terms of mainstream adoption. Developers are making most dApps on Binance Chain and Ethereum than Polkadot itself. Even Polygon (MATIC) is gaining traction these days. It seems that the "DOT hype" has ended, leaving the cryptocurrency behind the dust. If the team doesn't bring something exciting to the project, it won't be going anywhere.

Considering that no other competitor has been able to "beat" Ethereum, Polkadot will remain as an alternative smart contract platform for those who need it the most. The more competitors there are, the smaller the load on the ETH blockchain will be. Instead of focusing on "killing" or "replacing" Ethereum, projects should focus on working together to make crypto land a better place. Time will tell us whenever Polkadot will become a success or a failed experiment. Just my thoughts ;D

Yes, the development of polkadot is good, but it could be because many people are temporarily shifting their assets from ETH to other coins, while waiting for a solution to the problem of fees, and the most awaited solution is the launch of ETH 2.0.

Polkadot is hyping since last year but does not show any tendency in making it up to take Ethereum position though there are 2 coins that make as close and those are.

Binance (BNB)

Cardano (ADA)

instead of Polkadot i would rather choose those 2 coins that has really great product and one of the most trusted coins/

As I remember, Binance Smart Chain works from 2017 and Polkadot launched only one year ago and parachains are launching only now, during this summer, so I think that it is just a question of time. I believe that one day Polkadot will be as popular as Binance Smart Chain now. I am doubting if it will be able to compete with Ethereum, but it must be popular.

From the results of my personal audit, after I studied charts from 4 decades that have passed, there seems to be no sign that polka dots will step past the selling price of more than the price of Ethereum. there are still many who like it to invest in polka dots maybe because the price is affordable by investors

I don't think ethereum will compete with coins like polkadot, and not allowing polka dots to be a killer for ethereum because Gavin Wood designed Polkadot to be able to work in parallel with ethereum and side by side with other altcoins

Dot working very well and no dout Dot project have a bright future now Dot price is not too much and also in buying range so buy it now and hold for future we can see dot on 100$ in this year

This is very funny and I've never dreamt about it. Where is polkadot when it comes to market caps. This is a way developers had been using to attract investors in investing in there project. Many of this projects that is being agigated over the internet might not even be that successful at the later time. Polkadot might still do better but not to compete with it's Ethereum which we all know that it's still have greater tendency of going far.

The advantage and roadmap of ethereum 2.0 has been formed after months of delay while Polkadot and its team are stagnating like ethereum in the past, although their upgrade does not require a hard fork but giving the roadmap to users early is better than late, users are tired of promises with infinite waiting space. Future advantage with Polkadot is really not much for the sake of competition as they are like a miniaturization of ethereum, there are some points where ethereum has surpassed so much that it is something that Polkadot cannot establish in a short time

Even so, I think this really deserves special attention because considering that these polka dots are only a year old and it is possible that polka dots can now follow bnb in the future because considering the hype this coin is still continuing, especially in the last few weeks.
for comparison, maybe eth is too far considering the difference in age and prices are very different, but for polka I think it can be used as a recommendation considering that the price is still not too high. at least in the next few years I think this coin will be more promising even though it's not as big as there is, bnb or eth

If I'm not mistaken, dot was among the top 5 cryptocurrencies a few months ago? But now bnb and cardano are fighting really hard for that spot and cardano seems to wining cause with the smart contract hype it has at the moment bsc doesn't stand a chance, I think Polkadot should try beating cardano or bsc first, killing eth is still a long shot for it,there's no eth killer anyway.

There has been a lot of talk about its pretty good potential so far, but the reality is that his achievements have not been able to show that he can shift Ethereum's position, at least if he wants to replace ethereum, he will have to compete with two strong coins namely BNB and ADA.
