Bitcoin Forum

Hello,
Which one of the following coins has a Ethereum-like potential:

1- Terra
2- Avalanche
3- Polygon
4- Moonriver


Thank you.

Choose "Polygon"

Less fee, and more faster comparing "BSC & ETH" also there has so many development progress and enthusiasm on crypto-space to them. As you can see most of "Dapps" or crypto game is using or migrated to "Polygon".

So, I more prefer to polygon.

Polygon will my first choice because from your list it is the most popular and presently many new projects are on Polygon network and some existing projects are also moving there. Utility and adoption are the two most important features for me.

None of these coins have the potential of Ethereum, although in general it is a good coin to choose from like Terra, Avax, and Polygon.
But for that potential problem every coin is different and will never be the same as Ethereum or the others.

I think Polygon within your list has the most "Ethereum-like" potential just because of its structure and handling of transactions. It's basically saying that it's part of the Ethereum ecosystem. On their website, it's also stated "the best of Ethereum", so basically it has its potential and more. This is what I can say that it has its "Like" potential factor

---

There would never be the same 1:1 coins out there. That's why the OP indicated the "like" potential that it has.

Actually all the coins on the list have become popular even though of the four coins only the larger polygon has the potential and has a large adoption even though its value is still very low when compared to the others, but that is not the basic benchmark.

Maybe those projects have the potential of Ethereum, but I am not sure if the price can be the same as Ethereum because that will need a long time before the price can reach the Ethereum price. But from that list, I feel that Polygon have a chance to lift the price to the high price, although we do not know when that will happen. Avalanche is already at a high price so it needs more time to increase. While I do not know how good Terra and Moonriver is, I guess Polygon can be the next coin that can increase higher.

avalanche has almost the same potential as ethereum, but on a different scale. but what looks the same is probably BSC. bep20 network is very similar to erc20, and the development of this platform also looks the same as ethereum. this is my reason that bsc and ethereum are very similar. as for polygon, I think it's moving in a different direction. the purpose of this project is different from other networks. they offer a cheaper and faster multichain network and layer2 solution. such polygon were created to improve the dapps network which is currently having problems. one of them is ethereum, so even though it is not the same but polygons also have potential and are very profitable to invest.

Like Majority of the answers , it is Polygon that has the same potential as Ethereum in terms of Lesser fees like when Ethereum is just starting.
not like now that it has a so much Gas requirements when congestion happens.
It has not been asked if the project is totally like Ethereum in terms of function but the question lies in the progress and support from the users .

Polygon is the nearest  to attain what Ethereum has achieved , this has been popular now for having a super cheap fee and being used by some of my friends .
and is this the terra that you mentioned? Avatera?

if does then this has been a Pump and dump currency , 2 months ago hyping to almost 900$


and then drops down to under 1 dollar? damn you should get your ass out of that.

Those are new blockchains. No offense but I've read some controversy about Matic/polygon earlier just last month.

• Polygon (MATIC) Reveals it was Hacked Earlier this Month (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/polygon-matic-reveals-hacked-earlier-103532665.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAL5s8yK5WsQ6S4xx_Asglm7raPHA2CYN2262vPQ1ueQZ8eO4h8Dg9nF8wWc_XcgJje9LJtssagwftmmRifj0fm73J6jM8Zt4Emd2lRVo-GWRdFwAkJZlusT7KiY-zXj6l1B5aDnD3BFc0MMlWJLYws-5OLjgJjsYsD47vQSktJxI)
• Hacker Exploits Vulnerability To Steal 801,601 MATIC Tokens From Polygon (https://bitcoinist.com/hacker-exploits-vulnerability-on-polygon/)

But despite that, it's still a good project though but they've delayed before announcing the hack.

from the list of coins I like all of them. there will be great things someday with a coin revolution I am very sure of that. therefore I hold the coin by holding it for a longer period of time, especially matic, I bought a lot of around 5000$ only for matic, from several months there has been a very significant increase in matic coin.?

For Matic there is still very good hope and it's also not wrong if everyone wants to choose it, but for the others on this list I'm still not sure to hold it in the long term because the potential is still very different and every coin competition there will definitely be a loser among them.

None of those because no crypto will replace or act like Ethereum because this is a very different currency and cannot be clone .

Hail Ethereum , long live and i will keep trusting this currency.

I will pick terra and polygon from your list and here's why

terra : https://www.investing.com/analysis/terra-touches-100-following-solana-and-avalanche-rally-200612698

The terra ecosystem is growing so fast, it can enters into the top 10 CMC so fast.

Polygon must become the best pick after terra even this is second layer solution for ethereum but it has the same potential to be the same like bsc but the only problem is if that lack of demand.

I can't deny that the ecosystem of owned by terra, avax and sol even bigger than poly.

I like Polygon so much, cheap fees and fast transactions are the reasons why I like it, recently I also found out that the blockchain has started to be used by new coins. I hope the Polygon blockchain will thrive in the next five years.

even though it is very difficult for other platforms to match the achievements of ethereum, but I think polygons have a great opportunity to be able to follow in the footsteps of ethereum, even though polygons still need time and processes to develop further, but if viewed from a large use large amount of this token, the opportunity to grow like ethereum is very high in the future,

Honestly none of them are "ethereum-like", they are all by their own things. I do not like to compare these things, they are good all their own without needing to have anything extra to pick them up. Sure it is something that I would love to see them do, ETH was something very low in price and now it broke 4k+ wall at its height so why wouldn't I want to be there.

However, crypto is much more fast paced these days, what you need to achieve bitcoin did in 2-3 first years takes about a week these days, what it did for 5 years takes about a month at most. ETH was a bit faster than BTC but still new ones are much faster. The marketcaps that they are reaching these days are beyond what we thought was possible 10 years ago for bitcoin. So all in all I believe that new things will have a much better future, if they are this good at this early periods then imagine how great they will be in the long run.

Only Polygon and Avalanche is what I think has the Ethereum-like potential in this list unless you've included Solana from here as well. Had to argue but what is Moonriver doing in this list? Haven't heard that token/coin before maybe you've just created the thread for the sake of shilling the project? I could be wrong but I'd give you the benefit of the doubt.

I mean i like avalanche in general, though i don't like their shady marketing. But it's not an "Eth killer". None of the projects are. Eth is just too far ahead of most projects. And eth 2.0 is probably render most "eth killers" irrelevant and they will eventually die. But competition is always good and we learn from our mistakes. When there are more people making mistakes, we learn even more.

I think Polygon has the most chance of being the next Ethereum, a very fast and powerful network making a lot of devs. who switched to Polygon and I'm sure in a year I'll be in the top 5 rankings and have a tough competition with BSC.

You list most of the top tier blockchain project but you forgot Solana and BSC while listed an unknown blockchain project like Moonriver? There's a lot of competitive developing blockchain project that focus on web 3.0 development which I believe the next trend for crypto and probably blockchain that focus there will gonna be an Ethereum like growth

Polygon doesn't have the potential of ETH just because it is literally built as a L2 of ETH.

However, I do see that AVAX has potential and LUNA definitely has potential as well.

AVAX is scalable and decentralized, while LUNA has great tokenomics with UST seeing a ton of adoption right now. I personally don't think that either of them will necessarily overtake ETH as the #1 altcoin though unless something goes drastically wrong with ETH.

Looking at the current market development polygon is one coin that has the potential like ethereum today, because currently the team managing the project is building a polygon network to make it easier to use and transaction costs cheaper, then in the future I believe polygons can definitely reach a new ATH and the price increase will definitely happen faster because it is very influential from the community that is being built at this time, But for TERRA and LONGSOR coins we should also consider.

no one knows because that coins you have mentioned above are very optimistic as well and we cannot tell right now because market still not fully recovered.  We need more results and by the way what about SOL? It's known as a ethereum killer. And remember how it makes hypes so maybe has potential also like what you have mentioned above.

None, the fact that ethereum is the second most popular and important coin in the market just behind bitcoin required very specific circumstances, even if a coin that has better technology were to appear those circumstances will no longer be in place, this means that ethereum will simply be always be ahead of those coins and they will never reach their full potential and displace ethereum from its current spot in the market, however out of the four I like Polygon the best if what you are interested is on the profits alone.

Most people believe that Terra and Polygon will be the next ethereum and we can see this from December until now, when many top coins dropped sharply, MATIC and Terra were actually green and this is proof that the 2 coins are the most profitable for us to buy and I bought those 2 coins for staking because I aim to hold long term.

f you enjoyed DeFi gains recently - grab some $HKLS tokens bcoz it is the new security solution to eliminate any hacks. All that $LINK or $BTC gains will be a child play comparing to this https://hackless.io/

I will choose and recommend Polygon (MATIC) as a crypto that has good potential even though it is not able to match Ethereum. This year Polygon (MATIC) will be a different coin from other cryptos when Bitcoin (BTC) can make a good move. If Bitcoin (BTC) doesn't move, then Polygon (MATIC) and other coins won't increase either.

I will not mention polygon as a potential competitor for ethereum caused by that's L2 solution for ethereum blockchain. I don't even think this one will try to compete with ethereum. You must also see that if L2 is working as alternative blockchain for ethereum. Terra and avalanche are the most potential coin to be the next competitor for ethereum after solana which has been going to the moon.
Avalanche has been using almost similar mechanism with EVM. that's also having dual network 1 for its native network and another 1 to be compatible with EVM to give an alternative for peoplt to move to the avalanche ecosystem. i prefer to pick both from the list as the most potential coin to be the next competitor for ethereum.

I’m sure it’s either avalanche or matic. The reason why many people decides to use ETH is because it’s smart contract based blockchain and it was really cheap at that time however now it changed, so many smart contracts platform out there that trying to innovate and becoming the better version of ETH while also offers good scalability.
In the future most of the projects that are NFT and gaming will require good scalability so it won’t struggle in the long term, that’s why scalability is vital and ETH 2.0 seems just doesn’t cut it anymore. Meanwhile, these new smart contract platforms are designed after seeing that ETH struggles a lot when there’s emergence of NFT because how transaction intensive these NFT or gaming coins are and both avalanche and matic is among the fastest growing coin out there, surely it will be either avalanche or matic in the future that have potential like ethereum.

I think polygon(MATIC) has a great opportunity to be able to follow in the footsteps of ethereum, because users of this network are increasing from time to time, but this will not happen in the near future, because matic is still in the stage development  and still requires time and process to be able to develop further,

We need to do in-depth research and analysis to predict which projects could be potential like Ethereum, even then our predictions may not be
accurate. Because it is very difficult to predict what will happen in the crypto world, the highly volatile crypto market often comes as a surprise.
So just do it according to the results of the research and analysis that we each do, If indeed we find potential projects, we can invest in those
projects. Regarding SOL, I agree that SOL is one of the most potential projects to be like Ethereum. So I really recommend investing in SOL.

These coins are worth investing, honestly but, I can never tell which one will be able to compare ETH or even more than that. It is simply because these coins had something more to prove about their potentiality otherwise.

Polygon and Ava are probably what I preferred. I'm considering the fees in which these coins could even provide the most favorable one(small). I'm not really thinking that they can be on the moon someday but what I want to see is that they can be more sustainable than just be hyped and will be gone so quickly.

All of them have potential like eth as you said but its hard to predict which one Will be more closure near eth by value and development. but i haven’t heard about Moonriver but meanwhile i found that it is  smart contract parachain which is on Kusama. and Moonriver doesn’t sounds, it will even have potential like eth. but if i have to choice one of them then i want to go for Polygon for Ethereum-like potential

Not sure what Moonriver is?

But I think that MATIC/polygon definitely has potential to be a viable scaling solution on the ETH blockchain. It could be possible that most transactions get routed across the Polygon network instead of ETH mainnet in a couple of years.

Not a big fan of LUNA/terra but AVAX definitely has potential as well.

But we need more and more projects deployed under MATIC network. In this manner, this will be their good weapon to compete with the fast changing environment of crypto. They don't have to compare with the meme projects because the more solid foundation they have, the longer they will survive. So what they need to do is attract more developers to utilize their network.

I'll go with the highest market cap on the list, which is Avalanche.
Another thing that Avalanche is good for me because is it also Layer 1 and EVM compatible so it is easy for Ethereum developers to switch to the Avalanche network.
Another thing about your list is Polygon, Polygon is built on top of Ethereum which is considered as Layer 2, I don't think it belongs to the list.

MATIC is a potentially coin but to become like ethereum? it is not going to happen lol , instead there is none in the list that could get even closer to how ethereum performs , but if SOL or ADA is listed in OP then I would agree in any of those two.

Wrong  not unless you are talking long term then chances are there, but if this is for short period of time ? then Even MATIC is not into position to get as how Ethereum perform all time .

If I had to choose between that I would prefer polygon networks, because as we know the Polygon ecosystem has grown exponentially over the last few months apart from that polygons have attracted most of the game and platform companies to build NFT on their networks and this is what i like about polygons.

Yes, you are right. No coins will be like Ethereum but all coins have the potential to be like Ethereum in the future. SOL, ADA, Matic, or you can name many other projects that can become like Ethereum. But they have different things which is the main core of their projects and we can not compare it between other projects. If one project such as Matic can grow higher and the price can become like Ethereum, that will be good because we will make a huge profit from Matic. And so do with the other projects because in the crypto world, every project can grow and become popular and have a chance to get a better position and that depends on how the team can work for their projects.

Among these coins that could have Ethereum-like potential I chose (Polygon), I can say that it is the best alternative to Ethereum, the Ethereum network suffered a lot due to congestion and excessively high fees, in the beginning the main function of Polygon MATIC network was to solve the scalability problem of Ethereum Which happened due to the tokens of decentralized finance based on Ethereum (DeFi), then the project was developed and renamed Polygon and it has many new functions, Polygon network has very powerful features and there are many developments coming but it lacks sufficient spread due to lack of Good promotion, but I think it would be a better alternative in the future..

That is absolutely correct , and I also believe that Matic can run up like ethereum sooner because this coin is one of the much awaited currency now and the project really goes high .
so Yes this may become the potential coin like ETH in terms of Network and marketing .
almost 60-70% of the answers chooses solely for polygon meaning this could be the next best thing? what do you think mate?

With the current market development, there are several altcoins that do have high potential to be able to develop in the future and will match the record ever owned by ethereum, one of the many potential altcoins that polygon is our mainstay for the future, if we observe currently many investors who have invested in polygons then never doubt the coin, and for terra coins we are under research because this is also one of the coins that we can hold.

But whether it can happen to our Matic no one knows,
What is clear is that this is an interesting discussion for sure because it concerns the top altcoins that have potential,
What's clear is that we're just following the progress

When it comes to the usability then the price of ETH does not make any sense as the transaction fees is much higher than any other cryptocurrency in the market, so basically logic does not work in these discussions  :P. I would not mind investing a couple of hundred dollars in MATIC while i am not confident to invest in any other coin at this moment considering the risk factor of a correction.

As an investor, Matic is a low valuation coin and the potential is really high and the risk factor is really low considering other blown out coins in the market with much less use case Matic is a safe investment.

I think out of everything here, Avalanche probably has the most potential.

The Terra ecosystem is very interesting but I don't think that it's going to go anywhere in the long term, there are simply way better alternatives out there that are up and coming.

Polygon is a good short term scaling solution for ETH but at the end of the day the Layer 1 ETH network has to be scaled itself for Ethereum to succeed, so as soon as ETH2.0 rolls around I think that MATIC will take a big hit.

Polygon is pretty good indeed, but lately, if I'm not mistaken there is a long bottleneck in the Polygon network which I experienced when sending Tokens to exchanges. Barely finished and had successive failures. GAS costs had increased 50x greater than usual. This is the first time. Because I've made several deliveries via the Polygon network. I don't know why the Polygon network is experiencing congestion and the increase in gas is high.

The only problem Matic has in front of it is ETH 2.0 and that seems to be the thing that matters the most right now. If ETH manages a great increase and ends up with something like 1-2 dollars range for the transaction costs, and drop every other thing with max cap of 10 bucks, then we are going to actually see something great.

I mean at the end of the day if SOL can manage to write a code for 65k TPS then I am sure all those amazing developers at ETH could find a way to do it, harder when it is already huge and active, but could still be done. This is why I believe that there is a good chance we could profit from crypto a lot more if ETH ended up with a lower gas fee and then Matic would be out of a job. The whole premise of it is low gas fee on ETH chain, and if they can't provide something like that, then why would anyone even use it?

Non of them will become like ethereum in the first place, even polygon won't become as popular as eth. But only thing I would like to tell everyone that binance chain will become the most in demand network that would potentially bring our profit towards the top most part of price. This is going to be exciting in the near future, and we just need to wait and hold our coins that belong to bsc.

For the BSC network, of course it will be very good for mass adoption in cryptocurrency this year and for Matic there will also be an increase in its use this year although it will not immediately be as popular as ETH and BNB, which is clear Matic will not be bad either.

As for me, it would be Polygon among the given coins because it has good potential and it has been building a great reputation while putting up a strong foundation.  Its function is almost the same as ETH and many users trust it when it comes to faster transactions. The main problem is the high gas cost so I hope that they could do something about it.

I don't really understand Moonriver and Terra so I prefer Avalanche which has the potential to become the next ethereum.

I did not choose Polygon because I believe investors are not too interested in polygons because the fees are very cheap, so it will give investors a little profit.

In reality every one of the coins on the rundown have become well known despite the fact that of the four coins just the bigger polygon has the potential and has a huge reception despite the fact that its worth is still extremely low when contrasted with the other. I feel that Polygon get an opportunity to lift the cost to the exorbitant cost, despite the fact that we don't have the foggiest idea when that will occur. Torrential slide is now at an exorbitant cost so it needs more opportunity to increment.

most forum members will definitely add polygons as one that will become the next network trend considering the offer and the network system is very efficient and the fees are very affordable so that it is of interest to its users and the price of the coin, it is possible to have the potential to continue to rise so that many hold it

I can say without a doubt that of the projects you mentioned, Terra has the greatest potential. New projects are created every day on this platform. This is understandable as it is completely decentralized and offers much more stable fee solutions (compared to Ethereum or even Binance). I think Terra will become Ethereum's main competitor in the market in a while.

I think Polygon although your list is not all that bad but still I will go with Matic seeing all the layer 2 solutions It has and how is continuously developing all over the year Also I wont mind adding FTM to the list Cronje is actually the train on that network and TVL is growing there like crazy so expect Fireworks There soon

Polygon is good chance to buy back after bitcoin dump and price of polygon drop almost to 1.60$, easy for polygon matic coin back to higher price next week depend when bitcoin pump. Never worry if you have fund right now buy back polygon matic coin because looks most popular dapp network right now after BSC and ETH. You can added other coin list for buy like

1- BNB
2- LTC
3- RABBIT
4- ETH

I think only Polygon and AVAX have potential like ETH from the list of coins you mentioned because so far if we look at these two coins have gained high popularity in the market and also have a large trading volume, and on the other hand Polygon and AVAX also have the capability faster in making transactions.

Terra is also a good project mate and has a potential for growth but being Like Ethereum ? they have different concept so i think this cannot be the same though Polygon(Matic) is being Known as next ethereum after NEO died long ago .
thw whole list is a good set of currency but all has different future but worth investing so best to go with OP's set and wait for another year to profit .

Terra maybe too, if I judge the amount of news I can read about them, but I don't think Moonriver even in name has anything close to challenging. Avax and Polygon no longer disputed for now, but if ETH 2.0 comes out and solves the gas problem I don't know if people will continue to complicate themselves with using matic and avax.

I do not know if I heard terra before but I am sure that this is the first time I hear moonriver. We are not familiar with the two of them but maybe they also like eth because why would OP adds them in the selection?

For now, people will pick polygon and avalanche because they are older and popular but when the time comes that they will get congested heavily like eth, people will start looking again for alternatives and maybe that is the time that terra and moonriver will get noticed. What I am trying to say here is that maybe all of them have a potential like etherium, so maybe its fine if we can invest a portion on them as early as possible before they get to explode.

I don't agree with you at all. Of course, Polygon and AVAX have a lot of potential and it is possible that they will achieve a very high level of adoption in the future, but in my opinion Terra is the clear favorite of the speed of development. I don't know if any of the projects mentioned by OP will ever reach the Ethereum level, but in my opinion Terra has the best chance.

only moonriver i don't think should be included in the list, the others have ethereum like potential

The increase and development of polygon or MATIC also depends on the number of MATIC buyers, the more who use the Polygon network, the more there will be an increase in the price of MATIC.
Maybe yes, as you said slowly the price of MATIC rose by 3 digits.

Also don't forget to include the influence of the market because people believe in Matic and want to buy it in larger sizes also because of improvements in the market so they can be very brave to own a Matic and can be very confident to hold on to it in the long term.

High gas fee drives the plebs away from the network and less filths in the market. Thats why i sold my eth.. because of my disgusting experience transfering funds.. and crazy gas fees..
I    support the decentralized projects.. like DOT.. not VC funded centralized And Matic and Sol will be real kukkee of Eth

Pologon and Avalanche of your list had a good potential over the other coins. Now the bear had raised up again and again.So it's better to inverse on trusted coin, then trying some gambling stakes. Gambling stakes mean, some people inverse on the random coin instead on repeated trusted coins. Inverse your money on a trusted altcoins and inverse some on the Ethereum.Ethereum will rock the market again to new moon.

Polygon based on the option because of many adoption already but if we are going to include SOL in the option, I think this has a good chance of taking over ETH, they both have the potential its just that it will always take time and a good hype in order to replace ETH. The only problem with ETH are the fees and the speed of transactions, if they address this properly they might remain on top and become the best option again.

Among the listed altcoins my pick is polygon. Often the blockchain keeps adding more ventures to its partner list. The recent one being the partnering with the GameOn Entertainment to build NFT games on polygon's scaling platform. Polygan is much into discussion for its low gas fee and security. Apart from this list I find polkadot to be something potential like ethereum.

Terra, Avalanche.

I thought that those projects have the same potential like ethereum and i personally didn't like moonriver. Polygon was a second layer solution and this is not comparable with those first combined with second layer solution. Avalanche is the most potential from the list caused by this is also having its main net but it's also have alternative network which fully compliant with ethereum EVM.

I will pick avalanche from the list as the most potential blockchain to be a competitor to the ethereum.

Of the four coins that Op to mention above, only Polygon has the potential like Ethereum, but that doesn't mean Polygon is able to shift Ethereum's position as the best coin after Bitcoin.
The Polygon network has gained the support of many investors, they can very easily transfer their crypto assets at very high speed and more profitably the transaction fees are very low, meanwhile the recent merger of Matic and Polygon has brought a lot of publicity which has also contributed to the surge price.

Matic has already ended the chance recently , though yeas in future there might be another growth but this is another thing to expect but binance is the most and the best for this question because if there is a currency that can be replaced or at least will have the potential like what Ethereum has.
so Binance but not Litecin lol, that is a dying currency and no chance of increasing again

Litecoin and polygon dying ? is that a joke or what. A drop in the price does not mean that a coin died already but I can only count it as a dead coin once there is no more value in it. Matic and ltc are dropping now but is there a coin that didnt dump during this bear season?

Even the mightiest btc did drop too but wait till btc comeback at that is the time others will comeback too on their places. LTC is an old coin but I cant mix it up with matic because both have different use cases. Matic can be called the next eth and theres bsc too or bnb. What about the rabbit coin? Why is this included in the list? I think this one is an ordinary coin. Nothing special about this.

Matic, BNB and Ethereum are coins that already have their own network so all three of them look like independent coins now and are very worthy of being placed into anyone's portfolio in the long term because the potential and volume is also very large on the exchange.

BNB is a major potential competitor that has the potential to topple ethereum.  One of their upcoming innovations is to rename the Binance smart chain to BNB smartchain and create a link with BNB as a governance token, One DAO that can be extended.  I think this is a combination with great potential to build a really big ecosystem.  There is still a lot of real work that ETH has to perfect and prove in the final stages of eth 2.0.  And that could be an opportunity for BNB

I think Avalanche has the potential to be next Ethereum but it might take long time to be immediate competitor of ETH. Although SOLANA is not mentioned  in your list but the way its team is putting in hard work to make it a leading chain of crypto space, it can give tough time to Ethereum in coming months. Though its network still faces some technical issues during the congestion which team will certainly resolve soon and once all these issues are resolved, we will not only see it breaking previous ATH but also going much beyond it. DYOR

BNB and matic act as alternative blockchain for ethereum and it's not competing with ethereum caused by BNB and matic blockchains being made as L2 ethereum. that's different with avalanche which already developed the first layer blockchain to be the real competitor for ethereum. I think that in this case you can't compare BNB and Matic caused by people are seeing both as alternative blockchain to avoid the non sense fees with ethereum blockchain. It doens't have ethereum - like potential. alt blockchain will always become the second choice.
AVAX is the most potential to be the same like ethereum.

considering the total amount of value locked in this platform has grown quite significantly in these recent days, i’m sure that avalanche could grow really big in the future, so many of people have finally see the potential in it that’s already caused them in making decision in investing further in that platform.
regardless, if there is any potential blockchain that could become like ethereum in the future and maybe surpass it, it could be matic and avalanche, these platforms has becoming really popular these days and gained so many growth that it leaves so many of similar platform behind in terms of growth alone, it could be the real ethereum killer.

I think Polygon as good investment than other your listed coin, all your listed coin have own network and each of them have dapp exchange right now but as Polygon was been success last few years. I think Polygon still have lower price and give an easy way for investor buy this coin just still have weakness from other list on Polygon network still not launching launchpad on their dapp, for Avalanche ever make new IDO and almost of their IDO coin success sold to public and price pump but still waiting with Polygon when launching new IDO coin for their network how to make Polygon coin price will up.

All of the things OP mentioned have the same potential as ETH, I personally don't lean into any of them, they all have features that solve problems in the market. And the opportunity to profit from these have been proven.

Can you mention what projects are using Polygon's network now ? And is the 5% drop in the price of Matic on the market a proof that a rocket is landing or flying ? because if you say Matic can fly up to 100x in 2 years that is a guess that might be very wrong.

There is nothing token or coin to me that are compare to eth .Eth is really a strong project on crypto and still holding the the top ranked and number two position nevertheless we can choose few coin which are really potential on their own .However i didn't find my coin on the list which is BNB .It is the best potential coin which can really dominate the market and the rank will be high on the upcoming days that i hope .However i have found one more potential coin from your list which is Polygon ,I think it is much potential then any other coin from your list .It will be huge in future .

Personally, I use Polygon the most from your list and based on this I can say that this network has every chance to be similar to the Ethereum network. Thanks to the integration of Polygon into the MetaMask wallet, this network and the crypto assets hosted in it are easy and convenient to use, while the Polygon network pleasantly surprises with its low commissions. So the Polygon network is more attractive to the crypto community, which means it can claim some of the success from Ethereum.

All vote and respond I see here always favorite as Polygon is potential altcoin than several option giving than Terra, Avalanche and Moonriver, exactly with last altcoin name looks not really popular with me because never found this coin and which one exchange market have been listing. maybe I am not really research about this coin but just keep try to invest and believe Polygon as potential altcoin for the future and have own network make easy how to make progress faster for the future, exactly right now many coins have network with Polygon coin.

Have been seeing so much Bounty hunters boosting Matic(Polygon) nowadays but there are only few legit or reputable account posting about goodness of this coin.

though yeah it has been in ranking 20 for months now yet I am not convinced about the potential of this coin for long term.

Nice question lol.. putting proof would help Him convinced us to believe in this coin.

We  need to understand that circumstances change, just as bitcoin has a huge first mover advantage compared to any other coin by being the first cryptocurrency, ethereum also has a huge first move advantage against any coin that deals with smart contracts, so while ethereum did not had to deal with any competition those coins have to deal with ethereum, so even if some of those coins end up incredibly successful I do not think they are going to reach the success ethereum has.

I think everyone has their own reference in determining which coin will grow higher in the future, therefore make sure to do your research first before deciding which coin to invest in, from my analysis, polygons (MATIC) have great potential to be able to following achievements that have been achieved by ethereum, although I know this is not going to happen anytime soon.

I'd say Polygon has an Ethereum-like potential due to the fact that it's secured by the main ETH blockchain. Not only that, but it's also extremely cheap and fast to use. Being directly compatible with Solidity smart contracts is a plus, as developers can easily migrate their dApps from ETH to the MATIC chain. Avalanche is also compatible with Solidity smart contracts, but it has its own blockchain network whose security is entirely independent from ETH. In other words, Polygon is as secure as Ethereum itself. MATIC is trading below $2 right now, making it a huge bargain to those seeking endless profits in the future.

Ultimately, it's all about usability. As long as the cryptocurrencies from the list bring real use cases to mainstream world, nothing else matters. Just my thoughts ;D

Polygon organization and a few existing tasks are likewise moving there. Utility and reception are the two most significant highlights for me. I believe it's moving toward another destination. the motivation behind this task is not the same as different organizations. they offer a less expensive and quicker multichain network and layer2 arrangement.

I think that among the options available, Polygon has the greatest potential to be like Ethereum in the future, even now Polygon network users are increasing drastically due to low fees and fast transactions attracting many people to use it.
with the current price of the Polygon (MATIC) coin which is very low, I think that in the future the Matic coin has enormous potential to drastically increase in price.

I think the most votes are polygons. So far, I also think so. Besides using BSC as an alternative, I also often use Polygon because of the transaction speed and very low fees. however, the price is still cheap at this time still does not match the functions and benefits. I think in the future people will look to Poylgon as a major alternative to ethereum, and push the price up to tens or hundreds of dollars.

But what could matic really bring the market and the user ? will this can be the best utility coin like Ethereum now to bitcoin?

Will this be much lower gas fee comparing to what Ethereum bringing us recently ?

I think this is one of the best coin that we could have if you can answer those questions positively .

I think from the coins i know from that list, I would go with polygon as its one of the coins growing in popularity and fees are also zero to non which make it the best replacement for ethereum as eth has been disadvantaged by its high transaction fees for quite some time....and if there is a coin that can solve some of these problems it has to be polygon!!

Your list is consist of top coins but i think these all project yet need some more work to prove.
I will choose Cosmosis amd Juno token. Top class project and potential coins. Due to high staking reward and future potential airdrop juno demand is increasing day by day in market. You can see its price chart of 3 month l. Almost 10x done already and looking very bullish. Fee is very low and can go high in future when list on big exchanges.

Although Polygon is closest to its potential like Ethereum, replacing Ethereum is almost impossible. After all, Ethereum is an old project which of
course has a larger community than Polygon. Moreover, the Ethereum development team will not allow Ethereum to be replaced by any projects.
If it's just an alternative to Ethereum, it's highly recommended, but if Polygon compete with Ethereum it's clear Polygon will lose. Ethereum is indeed
too strong, even though Ethereum gas fees are very high, there are still many people who use Ethereum. But that doesn't mean Ethereum is
invincible, it's just that it takes a long time to beat Ethereum.

Polycon and Avalanche are two coin which had a potential like the Ethereum. Ethereum was a queen of cryptocurrency, it had huge amount of stake holders then any other coin next to the Ethereum. Avalanche also made huge investors and had good  capital in the year of 2021.Huge people investing in good coin means, their choice will be this two coins.

Ethereum is most valuable coin and most promising coin in altcoin. I think, Polygon is a potential coin like Ethereum. Polygon development huge increase short time. Many investor interested in polygon.i hope polygon development will be more increase in future and polygon price will be grow in future.

Polygon's even cheaper and faster to use than BSC, so it has every opportunity to become a huge Ethereum contender in the future. All it needs is a little "pizzazz" to gain the attention of mainstream developers and investors alike. Once it gains traction, the price per coin will never be the same as it is right now. Unlike most alternative blockchains, the MATIC network is secured by the main Ethereum blockchain. This means that Polygon is much safer to use than BSC, Cardano, and other smart contract platforms striving for superiority. People haven't noticed its true benefits yet, because they're focused on other coins that are pumping like crazy.

Crypto land is often a "gamble" so anything can be expected. As long as you don't put all of your life savings in Polygon (MATIC), you'll have nothing to worry about. Just my opinion :)

In my opinion, Terra and Polygon have the greatest potential from projects you mentioned.

Comparing them to Ethereum is still possible now. However, the situation may change with the introduction of ETH 2.0. I am afraid that the implementation of Proof of Stake by Ethereum platform may completely change the situation in the smart contracts industry.

I would say Polygon is a pretty good coin/project to take a closer look into this year  especially with the rising interest in the NFT market a lot of people been using it lately  to list their NFTs on websites like opensea to avoid paying the gas fee as in the case with Ethereum.

Although there are chains that allows nft transaction other than eth but polygon is one of the leading that has been used. It was like polygon is the bsc of defi because bsc is the main coin that is used by the masses even though there are alternatives out there like avax, sol, matic and so on.

I think it was too obvious that polygon is the only one that has an etherium like potential because of close they are to each other. Polygon has been given a big break, thanks to NFTs. This makes people forget about the past issues that polygon have or they have experienced with. I am talking about the increase of the fees and the heavy congestion.

Nothing has been close to Ethereum but at least seeing Polygon is having a good show that makes their investors think they are safe.
Terra Luna and Ava are also performing well this time. Can't just ignore them honestly but have to stop also comparing to ETH coz that never happens for they have a different platform and besides, the ETH network is too big enough to compare.
And about Moonriver, not on my list, maybe in the future.

It's only an option for now because of the transition from expensive gas costs to cheaper ones, so it doesn't matter if you have to look at Polygon just for NFT because basically Polygon can be taken anywhere including NFT even though NFT is starting to get a little dim now

Nice thought, but how long will NFTs stay popular? Do people invest in a coin just for this reason?
In fact, all the coins on the list are promising and good ones, but it is difficult to know how much they will use their potential. In the past years, there were many popular and thought to be good coins, but after the bear season came, they could not return :)

Avax looks better adn better everyday for me. The reason why they are looking better is not because of them and that kind of makes it a little bit funny. There are other stuff like polygon and sol and so forth that have problems with their own blockchains not delivering what they promised, and there are ones like ADA that has basically no smart contract when you think about it and barely could have it after nearly 4 years of development which is not a good sign for the future.

So, I would say that the worst case for Avax could be just doing something and screwing it up. If they keep on doing nothing and having zero problems, then they are by far the best for me because they simply never failed like others.

checking this whole thread with 108 posts? almost 80-90% are all standing to Polygon(MATIC)  and makes me wonder if this project really may bring good to the investors or just being shilled by holders from Airdroppers and from bounty Hunters that still keeps their bounties? or those ICO investors that still holding.
you should read the OP because he has Given the coins to ask and not just random currencies .

This is why it is doing better in the standings right now as well. Not because they did something good, but because they never did something bad. It is not funny or weird, that is actually a great thing for any project.

If you promise something and deliver it and have no problems then people will start to believe in you more and more. ADA was like that back in the day, they were not great and did nothing great but they just showed that they worked on it and had no problems, and that is why it reached as much as third at some point.

Avax is on the same path as well, if they never fail, unlike ADA which eventually did, then I can see it being a solid 4th behind btc,eth,bnb trio.

Matic has lots of positive side and so It won't be bad idea to go for matic as having Ethereum-like potential, IMHO
Op haven’t mentioned SOL or ADA to Choice. but if you are taking about out of list given by op, then i want to add bnb too cause it also deserve the list IMHO
True mate. Agree with you but polygon sounds more ahead among rest of there altcoins that op mentioned in this thread. That's why i choice matic. Crypto market is inceasing again and i believe It'll perform well in long term too

Humm, there was a lot of speculation after EOS, TRX was born and many people predicted them to be ETH killers.  However, so far all developments as well as speculative behavior are still standing and intact for the top 1 altcoin market.  The explosion of scalable altcoins in the last 2 years such as Avax, Dot, Luna, BNB shows that they are maturing and evolving but sustainability over time is the constant development that characterizes them competition.  I guess Luna or Avax will have a very good potential to compete and grow like ETH in the future.

There are many that are lacking from the list OP has mentioned, doesn't mean that they do not deserve to be mentioned in our topics. I am fine because I prefer Avax and Avax is in the list OP has provided, so I do not have any additions. But, if you prefer that SOL should be in that list, then you should say SOL and explain why you think that it should be in that list.

If you believe that something else should be on that list then you should write that name and that would be your way of saying which one should be eth like potential. So in the end, just because OP said some coins, doesn't mean that they are the only ones, you could add more.

there is another good project that will also be a competitor to Ethereum, and you must have it,
that is Polkadot, there has been a lot of news and recommendations from experts that DOT has more potential to beat Ethereum in the future.
especially at a low price compared to Ethereum, DOT is only at $20, and Ethereum is already at $3000,
for me it is very expensive, and it is better to invest at a price that is still cheap, for example DOT

Yes if talking about Matic it is one of the potential coins and so far the development is good,
the possibility of Matic will not stop here and in the future will continue to grow and develop,
For long-term investment, I think Matic is a good choice for that

Matic is still favored by many people for reasons of low costs and fast transactions, but on the other hand, Matic also still needs wider development or adoption so that the effect of the increase on the price can be seen even greater.


Wider development is indeed what Matic needs to be able to compete with others in the future because if it doesn't exist, then Matic will always lose in competing with others, considering that other networks such as BSC still dominate at this time.

MATIC does have very good potential for the future, from time to time the development of MATIC continues to increase both in terms of price and users, but when compared to Ethereum it is very far from a price point of view that is impossible to compete with. .
but among other options, the Polygon network coin (MATIC) is currently very good to invest because the opportunities for future profits are very large and also the current price of MATIC is very cheap, there is a high potential that the MATIC coin will be higher in price in the future.
if it is able to hold MATIC coins for the next 2 or 3 years, I believe its price will grow up to 10x or more.

Competition between one coin and another must not only be seen in terms of price, but also must be seen from many things that can trigger or have an effect on the number of enthusiasts for the coin although in the end there will be an increase in the price as well.

It's not wrong to choose Matic at this point and then keep it for a long time to expect profits, although there is still no guarantee of being lucky because it always depends on all existing conditions.

Well I heard this project too and everyone talking about this MATIC, in fact --this project belonged to the group of the Ethereum killer which is BNB, SOLANA, ADA, and this MATIC. All of these I mentioned could be also potential like Ethereum, there is so much news that I have read, many of the developers jumped into different networks because Ethereum has a higher fee and they want to break this and find another network that could be used as the same as Ethereum and CZ the Binance CEO already did this.

I agree, Matic is indeed very prominent and deserved, because he provides a low-priced exchange and becomes one of the targets. we know that the problem is that matic is on the ethereum network as well and if only ethereum 2.0 can be displayed this year, we can be sure that matic will fade by itself and will be abandoned.
because everything will return to the network that has been abandoned because of high costs, so matic will enter a dilemma in the future if there is no new innovation.

for now I think a coin that has potential like ethereum is polygon (MATIC) even though the current price of MATIC is very far compared to ethereum, but I am optimistic that MATIC will slowly increase and will follow ethereum's footsteps in the long term especialy now that MATIC has listed on big  exchanges in crypto.

I like Moonriver. Their MOVR token has a lot of potential, as the smart contracts platform has incredible potential for development. When this project came out, it was trading at $70 at the start and managed to reach $450 per token. Now the token is back to its original values and it's a good chance to start buying it little by little. I'm sure with the growth and potential of this exosystem, this token's price could easily surpass the $1,000 mark in the next bull run.

The thing about EOS and Tron is that they were both once big, but today they are not anymore and they are not doing that great. I am not saying that they will stay this way but it is clear to me that we are looking at two things that could have been great and had immense potential and just screwed it.

I mean if they were really good, they would have been in the top 5 right now, because they were loved that much and the future looked that great for them. Nowadays, we see ADA without even having a proper smart contract deal above TRON and that should tell you all you need to know about it. If they keep this up, eventually they both will be out of top 100.

It has been a long time since people use matic and they already build a strong connection to each other and it's not going to be easy for them to leave matic behind and if ever eth returns to normal I think matic's fee is still twice cheaper compare to it and besides a lot of people have already hated eth because it's been a long time since eth said that they will release its eth 2.0 update but there is no updates that came it until now.

This is one of the reason why they won't go back to eth even if things will get back to normal. I only need to clear out that eth was not an abandoned coin, eth is still functional and there are still people that uses eth until now. Only people that leave are mostly poor people because they cant now afford the fees in eth.

All of the projects you have on your list are better than Ethereum but ETH is now more reliable than all new smart contract projects, it will be hard for whales and supporters to abandon the king of smart contract project for a new one, still this won't stop the new smart contract projects from massive adoption but getting to where ETH is today will be hard.

Ethereum does have very strong fundamentals and it will be difficult to beat Ethereum,

even though there are Polygon, Polkadot, Terra and even Binance projects, Ethereum still has a bigger ecosystem than that project,
of course this is what makes Ethereum able to be in second position in Coinmarketcap

I think only Terra Luna is one which has potential like Etherium. Ust is one of the great successful Launch of Luna project and many whale now holding and its increase daily. I think in 2023 it will be top 3 coin of crypto market.

Matic was good platform , but so far i dont see this ecosystem growing well if compare with other platform such solana and cosmos. dev team need to open grant program to boost their ecosystem which is also did by other platform and it successfull.

its great project and no one doubt about it. i know it since its price still around 0,5 and now above $90 . in couple years later maybe luna could touch 3 digits and people will fell late buying luna.

My choice is Terra Luna because its network transaction fee is very low compared to other chains and transaction is executed within few seconds, this is the reason it has attracted huge investment from DEFIs and total value locked on its network is around is around 28 Billion dollars which is quite impressive. it has shown tremendous growth during the past year and it is still performing despite bearish Bitcoin market.

Unfortunately, this is the case with new projects in the crypto/Blockchain space. They become big within their early days, only to fall all they way down the drain years later due to lack of demand. EOS was once hailed to be "Ethereum's successor", only to become a "ghost town" years later. TRON took the same path as EOS once Justin Sun left the project for good. It's now full of useless tokens and scam "dApps" with no real use cases for everyday people.

Of course, the aforementioned blockchain networks have far superior performance than Ethereum. But without any substance to them, people will have no need to leave Ethereum anytime soon. With this, I think Ethereum will remain as the "King of Altcoins" for a long time. Just my thoughts ;D

Seeing the performance and popularity of Terra Luna which is increasing very rapidly this year, even though the market is in a bearish condition,
it proves that Terra Luna is a good project. No wonder many investors are starting to be interested in investing in Terra Luna, I'm not surprised
this year if Terra Luna will be in the top 5. Even 3 hours ago Terra Luna managed to reach new ATH at a price of $ 109, it seems that many people
are starting to realize that Terra Luna has a bright future. Regarding the Terra Luna network, you have explained not only that the transaction fees
are cheap, but the process is also very fast. So there's no doubt that Terra Luna could potentially be like Ethereum in the future.

Luna's potential has been seen and is still very good, but to occupy the 3rd position of cryptocurrency in 2023 I think it will still be very difficult for Luna because she still needs a harder struggle to shift the altcoins that have already become popular in the market and are not altcoins indiscriminate or trash coins.

Their only problem is that they do not have enough promotion. This is something I really despise because back in the day cryptocurrencies did not do marketing, they just existed and people invested into them, today that has changed.

It means that projects need to do marketing in order to grow bigger, and that means centralization because there needs to be "someone" that pays that marketing which is usually the creators of the project. This is why I feel like this is usually not a great future for crypto. However, that is the reality for the time being, I have to say that without proper marketing that would mean that the price would probably not grow as much as the coins that does proper marketing.

Not sure why so many expensive projects are named. I bought a lot of them early and made x100 and more. If you want something with ETH-potential it needs to be much cheaper than top100 projects. I mean something as Fantom can still rise of course, if you are really lucky 500% maybe 1000% but it can also crash. While something unique and fresh with a hard working team but still at $50m market cap like KoinOS can go 5000000% up, so why would you go in top100 projects ever?

These 4 coins will not be compared with ETH, but all of them are really very potential and worth holding. If I had to choose 1 out of 4 coins I would choose terra, currently terra ranks 8th but I believe it will soon enter the top 5 on CMC. Terra's growth this year reminds me of last year's solana breakout. But with UST, luna will grow even stronger. To mint 1 UST, it is necessary to burn the corresponding amount of LUNA worth 1 dollar this will create a scarcity of Luna in the market.

can I choose 2? from what I see polygon and avalanche have Ethereum-like potential. both of them have adopted the erc 20 smart contract, it can even be installed on metamask. Besides that, the gas fees for both are also very cheap, which will certainly make developers choose to develop their products on both networks.

in terms of price, indeed the four coins cannot be compared with Ethereum, because the price of Ethereum is very expensive, more than $2000,
and these four coins are only at the lower level, but when compared to technology, all four can have potential,
but I prefer choose Polygon, and don't forget Binance Smart Chain has potential too.

Polygon should turn into the best pick after land even this is second layer answer for Ethereum however it has a similar potential. I believe polygons have an incredible chance to have the option to continue in the strides of Ethereum, despite the fact that polygons actually need time and cycles to grow further.

Exactly. So many projects aim to compete against Ethereum, yet they lack enough marketing to make them rise from the ground up. Not only that, but most of the alternative projects you see aren't that focused on decentralization as much as Ethereum. For this and many other reasons, I don't think Ethereum will lose its position in the market anytime soon. We could say that the project closest to Ethereum in terms of decentralization is Cardano (ADA). But it still lacks a solid ecosystem of dApps, tokens, and services around it. Without much developers on the platform, how do you think it will succeed in the long run?

At least, the competition is healthy. As long as projects work together to make crypto/Blockchain land a better place, nothing else matters. Just my opinion :)

In short, its really that hard to beat up a project which is the first on something or shall we say being the father and just like ETH which is the main erc20 based project which lots of projects had made use of the platform or its blockchain which had been flooded out the market.

So beating or kicking it into its place as second ranking on the overall market is somethat that is really hard.Pointing out on which one or coins is ETH like then this is really hard
so far we arent seeing any projects which is capable or having that potential to be like ETH in the future.

I think Luna is more better than Avax and very High potential like Terra Luna because they have their own Stable coin UST which is backed by Luna and most of Etherium Whales also holding UST which show that the future of Luna is bright. They are also constantly buying BTC in every Dip and I think thelis project can go big in Future.

What you say may be true, but Avax is also not in a bad condition so anyone who has more capital will also not be wrong if they want to buy Avax even though they are still inferior when compared to Luna because Luna already has advantages as you said.

Luna is currently under development which is better than Avax but these two coins are very competitive in volume which can be seen on the CMC list.
but for the future, no one knows what will happen, everything is still possible, and I personally have more or believe in the better Avax coin in the future.
however, if it has the potential to be like Ethereum, I think the two are still very far away, there are still many other coins that have more potential than Luna and Avax.

I think Luna, Avax, Cosmos are bringing competition and functional development like Ethereum.  Trends and demand responses in crypto change very quickly for the development of strong capital flows from first-advisory trust.  But I think ETH will still deserve to be the king of altcoins for many more years when ETH 2.0 becomes the main strength.
I like it too.  But Polygon is a layer 2. I don't think it will surpass the market share of layer 1 wars as a reflection of organic origins.

ETH is still unbeatable by other altcoins even though ETH 2.0 is still a long way to go for a lot of people to see because until now there are still a lot of people willing to trade with ETH even though it's also not bad to have to choose Luna, Avax, and Cosmos because they too compete well in the crypto space.

Polygon certainly does have an edge over others because it managed to fill a need that people had. Its basically ETH but cheaper version right now where people do use ETH but use it on their network instead. Look at opensea, there are so many projects that use polygon these days. Its all matic here and matic there, the network is getting incredible attention. I do not believe that it could go on forever, I do not see it being amazing 10 years later, I believe ETH will fix this gas fee issue and thats when this will stop being good. This is the only reason why I do not invest into polygon and still keep it in ETH instead.

I am not so sure about it, Luna is definitely something that is getting a lot more interest these days and I like the fact that the popularity keep climbing up even during a bad market period. However, I have to say that it is not going to be something that is sustainable if they keep this up, it is going to be a bit of a trouble for sure.

I just think that we are going to get something that would be a bit more on the risky side if they force their way into some high place. Avax is not like that, it actually does have a community that catapulted them here, unlike Luna which does have a community but at the size they should be at this level.

Polygon is better because transaction fees are cheap, and now Polygon is also building an NFT network so that market players can be creative with their passion for making NFT

Yes, and for potential coins it actually has to be seen from all sides as well as Avax and Terra which have also been very good at developing so that the demand for them will also increase in the future, and may also expand to NFT one day.

surfing this whole post? i can only see Matic being pushed by majority but also most of them are Bounty hunters , there are few prominent account mentioning Polygon as their bet for altcoin as Ethereum potential coin.

Maybe let us stop there and let Ethereum be On its own and those mentioned coin have theirs also?

What? op is asking about given 5 currency to be somewhat like Ethereum , but you are talking about nothing specific?
and also one of the most promising currency the market ever has now.

Luna and Polygon are still very far away from having to compete with the others in order to get close to ETH because now ETH is still the strongest altcoin that no other altcoin has yet been able to compete with, especially if it is a new altcoin that still needs further development.

Ethereum is still a pioneer in terms of smart contract platforms, and it will be very difficult to replace Ethereum,
look at Binance, even though Binance also makes a smart contract platform which they named Binance smart chain,
it is still very difficult to beat Ethereum, GAS Fee is cheaper,
but ecosystem Ethereum is much more because Ethereum has been around for a long time compared to BSC.
but Binance still has a big chance, why not choose for it?

now it also backed by Bitcoin that in few days ago continuesly done by their CEO. Luna has great potential to grwoth more than current condition , although alot fud coming regarding their stablecoin.no one will thinking only in less 2 years its price growth to more 100$ when i know it still around 0,5$.


maybe hathor could be the next ethereum competitors, with several main features especially on security and feeless transaction. if nano contract fully released and adopted , i am believe its ecosystem will growth alot .if compare with other smart contract plaform, maybe hathor be safest platform because its mined just like bitcoin.

I am not saying that polygon is bad or anything, but most of the online people you see that promote it would eventually one way or another have a connection to it. The weird part about crypto is that if you ask people what they think would go up, they will tell you either who they work for, or what they are holding.

There are rarely anyone who never made a dime out of a project, plus do not even hold any of it, and still end up supporting or shilling it. The main idea is that, why would they? which is reasonable, I can understand why someone would shill something they wouldn't own, just go buy some if it looks like it is a good thing. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't do that for things that you are about to buy or wish to buy.

I don't think any of these coins have the potential to rival ethereum. ethereum is one of the kings of this market. And I think these coins you have mentioned need more time to become like ethereum or they will never be. It's not easy to rival ethereum. For example: LUNA

Easy Polygon for me
Polygon is an easy way to go if you want to trade either short or long term. Especially when more Polygon are widely used on new projects as their tokens and the chance of Polygon will going better is significantly higher if that's possible. It's just a matter of time Polygon will not be overshadowed with the other "Ethereum-like" coins.

That's why OP said "Ethereum-like" ?? we are not talking about ETH here.

Among those 4 list, I would choose Polygon, since they have dominate the NFT market with OpenSea, even though the NFT hype itself is keep declining. However, I found it strange that you didn't mention Binance Smart Chain, which is very popular right now, most of new project choose BSC over another platform, and some existing project move to BSC, so I think you should consider BSC too.

What about avalanche? Like polygon, avalanched is also popular and trusted. Then maybe we can add moonriver next to them. The only coin that we need to avoid is terra because of what happened to them last time. Polygon is not over shadowed but polygon was actually leading now from the 4 coins in the list but not for bnb since many projects are still under the bnb and it's the main eth alternative but I wonder why the op didn't added it on the list.

@htid1984 you must be kidding. Didn't you read the title? It's clearly said eth like potential, so it means eth is still better among them. Even bnb itself still can't compete with eth.

I think non of them have potential to be next Ethereum. The kind of decentralization, security and diversity Ethereum has developed over the past 5 years, it will take them years to reach there where Ethereum is now however,  Matic is using layer 2 solution of Ethereum network and has captured sizable share of market during the past 2 years and its network is continuously progressing. Hence, Matic holders will certainly book good profit in the next Alts rally.

The milestones of Ethereum would be hard for them to reach. Among the listed coins, I could see a big potential in Matic as well. It has shown a good movement and development over the past few years. It usually goes along with Bitcoin so I could also feel that holders will take sure profit when the market situation gets better. Lots of investors have strong hands when it comes to holding this coin.

BNB is not listed, maybe he thinks it's too centralized.
but almost all new projects use bsc network now.
i personally prefer polygon even though in the beginning it often suffers from network congestion, but now things are looking better to me which makes it worthy of being a strong contender for ETH in the future.

Well after 8 months of study Terra Luna is the best investment too learn a hard lesson.

if the list had a BNB name I would choose BNB, because I believe I can reach even higher pumps of 2000$ in the future. not for now but I'm sure in the future after the bitcoin halving BNB can touch that price. for those listed, polygons are quite good, but to determine ATH is not yet known, because there are still many shortcomings. in the future it will be even better, do your research again

I think hathor network could be alternative as layer 1 chain that will solve other layer 1 chain problem. It has scalable tps with huge number which is could upgraded when needed. Nano contract also be main technology from hathor, this is give easinest to developers team to creating token. With merge mining bitcoin , it give us huge efficiency

Among the options, both Avalanche and Polygon have shown Ethereum-like potential, each in their own way.

Avalanche (AVAX): Known for its high throughput and low fees, Avalanche aims to provide a platform for decentralized applications and custom blockchain networks.

Polygon (MATIC): Polygon has gained popularity for enhancing Ethereum's scalability and interoperability. It serves as a framework for building interconnected blockchain networks.

While Terra and Moonriver have their strengths, Avalanche and Polygon have demonstrated scalability and adoption similar to Ethereum. Do your research, consider your investment goals, and stay updated on the projects' developments

OP Of all the coins you mentioned here, Polygon is the coin with the most potential future like Ethereum. I picked Polygon as the first choice because Polygon is already an Ethereum-like platform. If it achieves something good in the future I think this Polygon platform will achieve it. Moreover, there is no hassle in transactions, transactions are completed instantly and transaction fees are very low.

I guess the reason why polygon is so ethereum alike is probably due to the fact that its literally just an L2 of ethereum in which utilizes same EVM with just different scaling technique but of course at the end of the day its just an L2 which sole purpose is to load off some of the transaction off the ethereum mainnet blockchain to polygon.
there are many people that thinks Polygon is some kind of L1 that just resembles ethereum well they might need to learn more about polygon but overall since the fact that they use their own coin for gas also could definitely make people think that way and that honestly totally okay.
but I think if its any coin that gonna be the next ethereum i will be frank its gonna be solana, their community so active, there are plenty of dapps and the coin price increase has been massive.

I agree with you, Polygon is the second choice of ETH and BSC, this network is fast and the fees are cheap, Polygon is very suitable to choose now for transactions now, that's why many games are founded on this network now

I think it is natural that, for those with potential other than ethereum, it is clearly true. No one can deny that BSC is the choice because it is often used by many new projects that are growing, and the fees charged or charged are still relatively cheap compared to ethereum.
But I also agree that Polygon is the next choice, because of its speed and very cheap costs.
Once again, it all depends on how we are used to using it, because I am used to BSC, so I will go there. Apart from the fact that it is connected to a polygon, for me, it is the same as BSC. In fact, I avoid using ethereum.

Some of the tokens you mentioned here are very well positioned tokens. Each token has its own platform and is very popular and top coin. From here I can only consider Matic/Polygon as a future coin like Ethereum because Matic/Polygon could be like Ethereum in the future. Next I will talk about the Avalanche token as it is also very well positioned and will improve a lot in the future. I am considering these two coins and I am not considering a others.

Ethereum is the second most popular coin in the current market after Bitcoin. All altcoins have different price differences between Ethereum positions and other coins. Some of the coins you mentioned I don't think have the potential to be like ethereum. I don't think any of the four coins you mentioned will ever become like Ethereum in the first place. But I've heard rumblings that Terra and Polygon could be the next Ethereum. It is possible that the two coins will achieve a very high level of adoption in the future and one can expect future profits from investing in the two coins.

its literally second layer of ethereum so I guess that does make sense that its actually cheaper than ETH by a significant margin but arguably with BSC it might be similar, but overall
due to the similarity of ethereum ecosystem and polygon I guess indeed its seems more plausible choice to go for polygon since its really active in development and innovation anyway.
but lately i've been seeing less and less project deployed in this chain though everyone just went full ethereum or. at least going into OP and ARB instead, if not solana the real contender of ethereum.
frankly speaking, i will choose solana like some people have mentioned when it comes to talking about potential because lets be real here.
solana is the one that got the community driving its force into growing 10x when we haven't yet reached the altcoin season.

2 years have passed and the #1 on the list is already removed as what we know the issue that it has been with. IMHO, these are what's on my radar to be Eth-like.

• BNB
• Polygon
• sol  - too I guess

Obviously Terra will not be a potential because it was scam project, now it's re branded and listed on Binance. AVAX is good coin and top 10 ranking coin but i think MATIC is a potential like Ethereum because it's one of the less fee coin in transaction from your listed coins, many project launched their token in matic network.

Crazy that Terra is still there and it was even listed in Binance. Oh well, I realized that many shitcoins are also found on that exchange. We now have to make a research whenever we invest on any coin there, especially on the new ones since not all of them are good or legit to give us even a small return for a short period of time.

Now back on topic, I agree that Matic is a better candidate here than in AVAX and the rest of the coins in our list but the only thing is that, Matic's value is only smaller than in AVAX. This might also be the reason on why AVAX is still leading in terms of rankings but let's see if what the future has in store for Matic.
