Do you think Cardano will replace Ethereum?

Personally, I think that both blockchains will develop in different directions in the future.
Both blockchains would therefore be relevant and coexist.

I personally think of something like this:
Ethereum = DeFi
Cardano = dApp

I also thought of something like this:
Ethereum = NFT & Gaming
Cardano = dApp & DeFi

Cardano will not be able to replace Ethereum. because we can see that the ecosystem in Ethereum continues to develop rapidly. Not only in Layer 1 but layer 2 is also developing rapidly, such as Arbitrum which is also continuing to develop. ADA actually also has its own advantages. So I also think that both will go side by side and have their respective advantages and disadvantages.

I don't think cardano will replace ethereum ever, lets be frank here, so many projects out there revolve around ethereum, so many projects that are ethereum l2 also doing airdrop campaign requiring staking of ethereum right now locking billions in their pool, also the EVM that etheruem has is highly utilized across various blockchain whether it is L1 or L2 they always implements EVM with little modification and the fact that so many ethereum L2 are gaining billions valuation for their token alone means something.
meanwhile did you see such thing with cardano? I think not, cardano is lacking behind in this regard, let alone pursuing ethereum which supposedly requires cardano to have higher growth rate than ethereum. funnily enough over the course of this past 6 months cardano only rise double of its bottom, its kinda unrealistic to say that ethereum gonna be overtaken by cardano, its more realistic to say solana have higher chance overtaking ethereum.

Of all the alternative Layer-1s you've chosen the one that has barely any adoption and user activity at all lol. Cardano doesn't even have native stablecoins yet. If there's an alternative L1 that will challenge Ethereum, it would be Solana and the Cosmos IBC ecosystem. Cardano is one of those L1s that I don't know why still has a huge fanbase despite not much activity occurring.


DeFi = Decentralized Finance
DApp = Decentralized Apps

Why do you separate both? They're pretty much synonymous lol. DeFi platforms are DApps.

What do you think Ethereum's niche will be and what will Cardano's be?

Cardano's time is not yet, in this bull market Ethereum will shine but I think in the next bull market it will be Cardano.

Solana with the 20th server failure :D
Cardano has the most stable and secure blockchain.
The Haskell programming language alone is one of the most difficult languages ​​in use.
Cardano is still at the very beginning, in 4-6 years things will look different.


For me, it is more suitable for Cardano to dominate the DeFi and dApp niche.
But what would Ethereum be used for?
As a payment?
NFT & Gaming?

Maybe Cardano would be the developer of the dApps and the platform where it runs would be Ethereum, but that would be very illogical.

Or maybe like this:
Ethereum = DeFi / dAPP
Cardano = AI

Solana had outages because it was literally being heavily used by users. Of course most alternative L1s won't have outages because they're barely being used. Polygon and Arbitrum also had outages because of heavy usage.

Ok — most secure based on what?

Totally subjective, but how is that a good thing??

People have been saying that years ago.

Ethereum is being used heavily for DeFi.
Bitcoin/Solana/Polygon is used more for payments.
Ethereum/Polygon/Arbitrum for NFTs.
Polygon and Avalanche for gaming.

I think you are just comparing princes with commoners. Absolutly this is a different world. We can see that Etherium continues to grow and gain trust from the community. On Etherium, their is many of new tokens are born and use its blockchain and they have values. I think this is what keeps Etherium alive. In other side, Cardano is rarely chosen by developers to run on it. Etherium continues to innovate to provide traction, and may be as Cardano catches up, Etherium will run even further. Maybe instead of Cardano, I think there is a possibility that Solana will be closer to Etherium someday.

I can't say that Cardano may or may not replace Ethereum, because anything is possible. But Ethereum is getting stronger as time goes by. This is not just a matter of the technology, but also of some combination of the number of Ethereum developers who are unlikely to easily switch to other projects. Ethereum is a well developed project. DeFi for example is 90% built on Ethereum, and is easier to build when other projects are already built. Apart from that, Ethereum's level of popularity is so strong that it has made Ethereum one of the most famous cryptocurrencies with an increasingly widespread level of use.

I don't think Cardano will ever be able to replace ETH. ETH is the second largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin. It has a very very loyal customer base. Also if I look at the return, it has outpaced all other cryptocurrencies except Bitcoin. It also has a very active development team with Vitalik leading from the front.

Also the major reason what I feel is that, ETH is the pioneer of smart contracting feature. Many other cryptocurrencies were launched after seeing the success of this smart contracting feature which ETH had introduced. It's nearly impossible to replace a Pioneer.

I don't think Cardano will overtake Ethereum either.
But I believe that both will have their own niche and will coexist next to each other.

I'm just wondering which niche Cardano will dominate :)

Think with Ethereum it is DeFi

I don't think Cardano will be able to replace Ethereum. You can see how fast the Ethereum ecosystem is evolving so fast and expanding rapidly, but same can't be said about Cardano.
I don't think Cardano has been able to catch up speed with Ethereum. Ethereum is far ahead of Cardano.

I know that Ethereum has a huge lead, but Cardano doesn't have to replace Ethereum.

Cardano will find its own way.
But it is still far too early for Cardano.

We have:
Blockchain 1.0 = BTC (store of value)
Blockchain 2.0 = Ethereum (SmartContracts)
Blockchain 3.0 = Cardano (DeFi & dApp)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDwJA1AnsAY

There is a reason why many people call cardano a ghost chain. Also i don't think layer 1 that relevant in the market after this golden age of layer 2. When developers are getting more convenience to work on layer 2 than layer 1 then why will they use a layer 1 project rather than a layer 2. Also it is easier for a project to launch on multiple layer 2 so that project has a higher chance of growth and community appreciation. Though it is true that most of Layer 2 will be dead in a few years, right now this is the place where most of the money is made.

That's right, the ecosystem is developing rapidly. On the other hand, the ethereum ecosystem has mostly great projects and rarely scam projects. The ethereum hype will probably continue to grow, with the encouragement of this large ethereum airdrop causing the community to explore transactions in the ethereum ecosystem.

I don't think Cardano will replace ethereum, I have tried transactions on Cardano several times, and it is very difficult and the fees are expensive, for this type of cheap coin the fees should not be expensive.
So I don't think Cardano can replace Ethereum based on my experience exploring the ecosystem of these two coins.

In terms of tech? I'm not sure, but the ranking in marketcap will likely impossible. Eth has many users and still increasing though. Even the gas fee are high many prefer to use it due to huge user base on many dapps and third party defi projects. Its quite dumb to use eth due to its fee but what can we do if almost all goof projects reside there. The possibility of replacing eth by someone could be manageable by solana but would it happened really soon? Not so sure.

of course not, how is it possible, you can compare it, I really don't believe cardano can replace ethereum.
The Ethereum ecosystem is more widely used than Cardano, in fact there are several more advantages to using Ethereum.

I don't think that it will be able to replace it for so many reasons. But let's just set back with the actuality of the stand of these two projects on their consistency on this market and its own communities. It is more obvious that Ethereum has produced a lot of smart contracts and successful projects that have been so good and got their own mainnets.

Exactly. If it's just about the ecosystem of Ethereum entirely, it's a no match for Cardano. While there are pros and cons pertaining to each others competition but it's just more with the Ethereum ecosystem thats being liked by most of the people not just as an investment but also with its utility that everybody does.

It is far from replacing it and there have been always topics like this about replacing one and the other. This has also been dealt with Bitcoin and for that reason, it's not going to happen but since this market is volatile it may not be Cardano but there could be another one.

My answer is plain, No, at least for now, but in the next decades, I can't say. ADA is still way farther from Ethereum when it comes to replacement, I will not even think of such. However, the cryptocurrency that is increasingly becoming true to challenge Ethereum is Solana. We all know the project behind the coin and how they've improved so much in it to the extent that it is now a viable competitor to Ethereum, and also has a better fee which is a plus as far as I am concerned.

Needless to say, it performed so well last year and Ethereum could not ever be compared to its performance. This is because people appreciate it and in this next bull run, I suspect that it could hit $1000, and if it can achieve that, then it will remain a little to meet Ethereum because, after then, it would be moving faster than before. I expect that it will be moving in its hundreds just like Ethereum is doing now when the time is ripe.

If you follow the changes in the cryptocurrency market, you will notice that there is a general trend. with the beginning of Bitcoin, there was hardforks, which all claim to be better than Bitcoin, and then Ethereum and coins that claim to be better alts appeared, such as Cardano, and then ICO IEO, DeFi, AI, NFTs. The current trend is towards second-layer coins, so Cardano will not replace any currency, but second-layer coins will rise sharply next year.

I don't think so.
ethereum is still one of the largest and most established blockchain flatproms in the world.
even though cardano has the potential to become a strong competitor.
ethereum has a first mover advantage. well-established development base.
However, this competition drives innovation in both flatproms and encourages them to continuously improve their services.
So whether cardano will beat ethereum completely or not.
Only time will tell.

That doesn't make sense. DeFi is an umbrella term and covers dApps, so are you saying that Cardano is focusing to one niche section of all the DeFi? And right after that you seem to change your opinion that actually Cardano is more DeFi How does that work?

While i don't underestimate Cardano's achievements, it's far from ethereum ecosystem and adoption. "Build it and they'll come", doesn't work if everyone wants to develope in somewhere else. As long as most of the value and activity stays on ETH, so will the developers. Also, Cardano doesn't have anything eth wouldn't have planned, and trying tp scale cardano will most likely be the point where people give up.

Will personally choose cardano a hundred times over ethereum .Can't stand the Eth network fees anymore it's too high not just for me but for other people as well.I will rather prefer making transactions on cardano cause it this much faster and a lot more cheaper than the costly ethereum.

Last year 2021 to be precise i heard from my friend that the founder of cardano (ADA) had worked at the ethereum (ETH) company and i was surprised by it, i thought these 2 companies were unrelated (never connected) and i read NEWS (https://www.portalkripto.com/charles-hoskinson-setelah-ditendang-ethereum-sukses-bikin-cardano/) that they really were once the same team.
Regarding whether cardano will replace ethereum, i don't understand, because it may happen and it may not, because there are many factors and reasons i can influence each other but for me it depends on those who popularize it (fans) because i think it's the fans that will affect it. But if one of their companies is taken out of liquidity i think it also affects them (fans).

If your only thesis on Cardano is cheap fees, then your thesis immediately crumbled down without even leaving the ground. There are like more than a dozen alternative Layer-2 coins that are just as fast or even faster than Cardano, but actually have native stablecoins and adoption lmao.

Both have their own pros and cons but in terms of marketcap Cardano is way behind. It was once called as an Ethereum killer but failed due to delay in development of it's infrastructure. In terms of investment both are coins that provide staking opportunities and both should be kept for long term gains.

I don't really understand the technology of the two and maybe the technology of the two is not much different. It's just that what differentiates the two is popularity and we all know that no altcoin can beat ETH in popularity. In terms of technology maybe Cardano can compete with Ethereum, but in terms of popularity Ethereum is far above Cardano.

KASPA>>>>>>

Cardano (ADA) and Ethereum (ETH) are both blockchain platforms, but their design and methodology are different .
Cardano (ADA), on the other hand, is built with a research driven approach.  It is known for prioritizing stability and security and scalability.
Better known for its previously established Ethereum (ETH) smart contract functionality, it enables decentralized applications (DApps) and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects .
Both Cardano (ADA) and Ethereum (ETH) reflect the growing landscape of competitive blockchains and the quest for improved scalability and efficiency. .
     

I personally prefer ETH but I also do understand the people who would prefer ADA as well. The difference is that ETH is already high, and yeah I can see it go 2x higher easily, probably more eventually but it will go 2x easily that is guaranteed, then some more depending on the market whereas ADA could go 3x easily, and then some more and that depends on the market as well but the 3x part is the difference.

So, if you have an investment option of 2x vs 3x then you would prefer the 3x and I think I can understand that. The thing is that we are going to end up with a lot more trouble if we are not careful, so ADA has more risk, this is why I prefer ETH since while it may go up less, there is a less chance it goes down.

Ethereum has now established itself as a leading blockchain platform. Continuously developed ecosystem of decentralized applications and tokens. Cardano, on the other hand, has made a name for itself by potentially gaining traction with its high throughput and low fees .

No i cannot think Cardano will replace Ethereum. It never will happen. Ethereum position now huge high then Cardano. Ethereums position second on cryptocurrency market on the otherhand Cardano position eight on cryptocurrency market (coinmarketcap).
Even huge difference between Ethereum and Cardano. Ethereums marketcap is huge then Cardano. Ethereums marketcap near about 320 Billion dollar and It's volume near about 20 bilion dollar. On the others side Cardanos Marketcap and volume is too small than Ethereum.

And More and more coin and token are using Ethereums erc network. Even it’s usability also increasing day by day on the otherhand Cardano is not like that. So i think Ethereum and Cardano is far far different each others. So Cardano never will replacement of Ethereum. It is quite impossible i think.

Let's be real here. Cardano can't replace or beat Ethereum.

Cardano's scientific methodology and design principles offer an intriguing alternative that may appeal to those prioritizing theoretical stability and long-term stability solutions.
While Ethereum remains a popular choice among developers and users due to its widespread adoption and continuous improvements.

arguably ethereum technology are being used widely because it deemed to be reliable, also EVM has many language that can be compliled to run in EVM, from the language that are easy but not secure to the secure ones vyper if im not mistaken that why people are utilizing it heavily.
whenever there's new protocol for the smart contract its always coming from ethereum first then being implemented on the other blockchain.
it kinda reflects that ethereum is truly a revolutionizing force thats why despite the fact that creating L1 might make more sense for some devs to make name for themselves, but they choose to create L2 instead.
maybe because its better to become L2 helping ethereum offloading all those transactions side chain for the sake of advancement.

Cardano is a really outdated coin and it had plenty chances to overtake Ethereum but Cardano did not achieve to overtake Ethereum.
Now, more modern coins are passing Cardano itself, where we will possibly see an Altcoin overtaking Ethereum.

But Cardano has finished, it really needs a major success to get relevant against Ethereum again, where Cardano is far away currently.
Cardano is losing ground to Ethereum.

I don't see Cadano replacing Ethereum at all. You can check the TVl on both chains and see how far Ethereum is from Cadano. I think this two shouldn't be compared in anyway for now.

It is very difficult for Cardano to replace Ethereum now and in the future, Ethereum is one of the most popular altcoins after Bitcoin, circulation and the network is very wide among investors.
but both have their own financial potential so they are in the same market, Ethereum is also one of the top altcoins which has attracted many big investors into it, Cardano has not yet completely dominated the market, I think it has replaced Ethereum this year.

Currently Cardano is nowhere to be see if we compare it's market price with Ethereum. Ethereum broke the $3k barrier after April of 2022 again yesterday. It is currently trending as it approaches the Dencun upgrade. I don't see such trends happening for Cardano. It came as an Ethereum killer but unfortunately it nowhere near Ethereum anymore. The only coin that might be able to give serious competition to Ethereum is Solana.

There are no existing coin for now that can just replace Ethereum like that though  there might be but still needs ore upgrade and updates before considering to break Ethereum in the future.
Maybe OP is just trying to catch our sentiment but does not literally mean there are breaking to be happen because for now it is more on impossible to happen.

We all know that Ethereum is one of the largest and most popular platforms in the cryptocurrency market.Many people can easily tell just by looking at the cryptocurrency market that Cardano is lagging behind Ethereum. When the Cardano token came to the market, many thought that this token might compete with the Ethereum coin. However, later on, it was no longer the case that the price of the Ethereum coin increased in the same way that the price of the Cardano token did not increase in the same way. Ethereum price hit $3000 yesterday.

Many may think that Cardano is scalability, interoperability and sustainability will kill Ethereum. Do you think so? For those two coins I don't think anyone would vote Cardano in a Cardano vs Ethereum comparison. The leader of altcoin is Ethereum. Yes it may be that the Cardano price will increase in the future, I don't think Cardano will overtake Ethereum as the number one alt coin in the market in the next two decades. Although Cardano has made considerable progress in recent years, it is still far from overtaking Ethereum as the dominant smart contract platform.

Yes true. Cardano will never act as an alternative to Ethereum. Ethereum's ecosystem is strong enough and neither cardano nor Solana is likely to achieve the same popularity as Ethereum. So I think it's unfair to compare cardano with ethereum.  But we can see SOL as a bit of an alternative to BNB but not from the blockchain side but from the marketcap side. Because SOL marketcap is almost on track to surpass BNB

I don't think Cardano will replace Ethereum. and I don't see any reason for that to happen. if you are saying that on the basis of transaction fee then Cardano can be used as an alternative source to send and receive payments, but replacing is really different which I don't think will happen.
Cardano is the winner in term of Transaction fee tho.

Both blockchains can be used for pretty much everything. there are tons of dapps, defi protocols, gaming and nft projectts built on top of Cardano and Eth blockchain.. but are equally competing with each other in these aspects.

My portfolio is both ETH and ADA, I don't like competing between them because really the information anyone attaches is meaningless. Even before ADA launched, I really had high hopes for the potential it could create, but over time I realized the ETH position more and more. Anyway, let's not judge which is better, as both are good cryptocurrencies and can offer profit opportunities. Although we know that there will still be problems on each chain, this is crypto, everything is still too new and needs more time to develop further.

Although it is extremely challenging to predict future of block chain technologies, however it seems unlikely that cardano to replace Ethereum in the near future. Ethereum has been a pioneer in smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). it has got significant adoption which is also reflective from its price and total value locked (TVL) that amounts to $47 Billion, on its block chain.

On the other hand, Cardano focuses on scalability, interoperability and sustainability. It is still struggling to come up with projects those are user friendly and can attract significant investment from major institutions.

I'd say none. If we compare the past popularity and current rate of adoptance, it's not hard to see that both of these sidechains are dying. Ethereum would have some degree of pioneer bias that may make it last longer but cardano had failed even before actually starting the race. They have some running dapps but they lag behind in technical advancement like high TPS compared to other contemporary projects. Ethereum is so laggy that I have to think twice before choosing to make a transaction. And there are so few and unpopular options on cardano that I had never used any of its dapps even though I still hold a small number of ADA tokens.

So funny man, I couldn't think that there are people who believe that shit projects like Cardano will ever be replaced with Ethereum. What is the role of Cardano in the crypto history and any updates about Cardano? Cardano is 1/1000 of Ethereum and there is no way to compete with Ethereum. Ethereum is best coin and second most demanded coin after btc. If any project which could compete with Ethereum then It would be solona but you can check that Solona is also far behind of Ethereum success. Is dapp and defi not supported by Ethereum? I think Ethereum will be first project which wotk as dapp and Defi then how Cardano will replace Ethereum?

Now the question should be which among this two altcoins is the vanguard of altcoins, Ethereum, right. And Ethereum didn't just attain such feat overnight there are performance it has given the user+base over time which I believe Cardano is yet to get close to despite how Cardano has been doing great in value recently. If you ask any cryptocurrency user that aside from bitcoin what other coin can he comfortably hold for long perhaps for the next 2 years or so without fears, the conviction is that almost every one will go for ethereum. And they will have many substantial reasons for that.

The Ethereum platform is the most popular of the Cardeno platform, because the Ethereum platform has the most investors, who have invested more of their assets. If any coin has become popular as an Altcoin after Bitcoin, it is on the Ethereum platform. I believe that Ethereum is one of the Altcoins.

Well Charles Hoskinson the founder of Cardano is also the co-founder of Ethereum so in a way yes they do coexist. Cardano seemed to be called as the Ethereum Killer But will Cardano ever be on the same level as ethereum or surpass it? I don’t think so. Cardano would have to increase 5000x just to be on the same level of ethereum.

Despite Cardano having a unique proof of stake mechanism, it is not enough to attract more users. Some people even consider Cardano as a dead project because of too low user activity.

Ethereum will remain in its place.

CARDANO and ETHEREUM cannot be compared because ETHEREUM is clearly above CARDANO. but the good news is that currently CARDANO remains one of the big altcoins because it is ranked 11th in the CMC.
Sorry, if you ask what altcoin can be held comfortably for a long time I will answer USDT  ;D the reason is because in two years it seems like the bullish phase has ended and entered the bearish phase (just kidding)  :D :D

It is true that in the current scenario of cryptocurrencies market there is no parallel between Ethereum and Cardano, Ethereum stands out as one of the top leading digital currency with huge funding on its network due to its strong use case.

However, it is worth noting that Cardano and Polkadot have recently entered into partnership agreement. This collaboration aims to develop innovative products to capture interest of the community through their distinctive features. Let's watch and wait how they meet market expectations when they unveil their developments.

the development will have no problem as any developer team will consider doing so to any large projects but as long as Cardano doesn't have a known stablecoin like USDC or USDT, its market will have less liquidity making its price grow very slowly.

cardano price will still be going up but it seems so slow i tried buying some of it last year and it seems like the profit is still less than 10%. if trouble is ahead like SEC going to keep pressuring Charles, the price will surely dive.

Yep, not denying your point with them as I also feel many situations are technically unsatisfactory, but nonetheless, this is the space that we learn to accept in order to find opportunities. And not to overstate it as a gamble for choice, just the fact that we accept the reasons for profit, and the fact that whales still hold a lot of ETH and ADA in their portfolios investment. They will all benefit when the price increase period occurs. If we only look at the ecosystem and technological capabilities, we all understand that new users always disagree about usage (fees, speed,...) and easily choose another cryptocurrency that meets the criteria. But this is an investment, the target is still profit and each person will have their own choice for that, do not impose too much opinion but remember to be responsible for your own investment.

Of course, Ethereum is a massive platform and its current market value is above $3000. Cardano is not that popular coin and Ethereum has the most circulation in the market, so we should not compare this coin with Ethereum. Of course, you are right, Cardano coin value is much lower than Ethereum value. And for the past few days, the position in the market and the price of Ethereum is constantly entering above $3000.

Cardano will never be a replacement for Ethereum. Many may think that Cardano can overtake Ethereum and those who think so I think are wrong. As we know Cardano is Decentralized Proof of Stake Blockchain and Ethereum is Decentralized Blockchain. Ethereum coins have smart contract functionality. In terms of market capitalization, the position of Ethereum coin is after Bitcoin. Moreover, Ethereum is a powerful and popular platform.

When Cardano was so good, many were optimistic about it. And I think for every project that has been so good, they're always like that. We're too optimistic about them and shows that we're passionate about them but then, when the time is done and years have passed.
They're no longer the same and they're already too old to compare with the projects that we used to be equal of in our opinion. In current time, I don't even think that ADA will get close to ETH once again.

Every coin has its own place and value and one coin cannot take place of other and cannot replace other. Etheruem is more successful coin so I don't think that without bitcoin any other coin can go more higher than Etheruem in price. With the passage of time when bitcoin grows ethereum will also grow in its worth so I think cardano cannot replace etheruem but it can become a successful coin in future but replacement of ethereum with cardano is not possible.

What's the comparison for and why will the op think of comparing Etheruem and cardano, even with the slightest research you'll find out that Etheruem is bigger in terms of price, marketcap, supply etc. The worth of Etheruem has increased so massive and seeing the price this week is surprising, Etheruem is know as the second big coin so there's no point comparing both likewise cardano, cardano is also a good one but Etheruem seems to surpass cardano greatly as time goes on and I don't think the price of cardano can outshine Etheruem

It's a simple answer. Cardano can't replace eth.. definitely not possible

The coins are created in difference purpose and cardano coin can not replace Ethereum, but Ethereum Blockchain is stronger than cardano and is second in the cryptocurrency market.

Cardano is indeed an Altcoin that has quite potential and is quite popular among crypto users, but it is almost impossible to be able to replace Ethereum, which has a fairly high market capitalization among other Altcoins. Even Ethereum is one of the highest ranking Altcoins, there are still many obstacles facing Cardano  to be able to shift the ranking position of Altcoins above it, such as BNB, SOL and XRP

I would say Cardano is unlikely to replace Ethereum. the reason is because in several important aspects such as network usage, DEX, and popularity Cardano is far below Ethereum. Currently, the altcoin that is closest to Ethereum in the 3 important ways that I mentioned earlier is only BNB, and it's not certain that BNB can beat Ethereum.

I think both are very good networks. Ethereum has great scalability and a growing ecosystem. And Cardano has smooth efficiency and transaction speed. ADA also has very cheap transaction fees at the moment. I think both are tokens I will always use. After Dencun ETH is successful I think Ethereum will become even more developed. So as you said they can both be used for different things, like ETH for Defi and ADA for dApps. But I think Cardano will not be able to replace Ethereum because the ETH ecosystem is already very, very large.

right, it seems unpair comparison with ether and cardano, because cardano is not even close to ether in any way like eth is number one altcoin where ada is 8th rank even in total market cap and volume too difference. sol is very close to bnb in total market cap, but bnb is more strong project in terms many aspects than sol.

i have invest in cardano for some time. i kept them and just staking but nothing significant on cardano yet unlike ETH that it had some a lot of stuff bringing more use case to crypto.

but over time i guess cardano will also bring something that will be recognized by institutions. there are big names that i follow on social media and they are also investing in ADA that's why i tend to also add this on my portfolio.

Op there are sometimes there is no need to make such comparison because the gap between the two is too big. Look at the price of Cardano $0.7145 and look at the price of Ethereum $3,698.70. I see this as a wrong comparison. And the so called Cardano shitcoin will never and ever replace Ethereum in any year. And op you don't have to think that the Blockchain are different they are already different. And they can't coexist but operate in different dimension.

This is the first time I am even hearing of this Cardano shitcoin.

Both blockchains are unique in their separate ways. Ethereum has been here for a while and has made its mark. Cardano is cool but it can’t replace Ethereum. It’s just like saying that a new blockchain would replace Bitcoin. Even if the blockchain was similar, it wouldn’t just happen cause Bitcoin has been here very long and rooted too deep.

Of course not and i believe, nobody will support this statement that "cardano will overtake Ethereum" cause haven’t  found any solid reason for supporting this theory. ether may have some issues yet but still it keep developing itself rapidly and superior among all Layer 1 Blockchain altcoin. Even many altcoins will come in future to fight against Ethereum but still i think, ethereum would be the winner then. But I must say that altcoin like Cardano will have seen good growth ratio in future

Very true.
Compared to modern Ethereum, Cardano is a really outdated coin and it had plenty chances to overtake Ethereum but Cardano did not achieve to overtake Ethereum.
Now, more modern coins like Avalanche will be passing Cardano itself, where we will possibly see an Altcoin overtaking Ethereum.

But Cardano has finished, it really needs a major success to get relevant against Ethereum again, where Cardano is far away currently.
Cardano is losing ground to Ethereum.

As other have said, Cardano is no way going to replace ETH. Ethereum is considered to be a prime mover, and even during it's early stages in 2017, there are a lot of projects that challenges it to the top if I remember correctly, and most of them are dead projects now, meaning they didn't succeed during that time although there are a lot of hype on this projects. So this could be the case again for those who want to challenge Ethereum, like ADA as per OP or Solana which is very hype right now. But if you like to go for a win-win here then just invest on both and don't compare their technology. For sure you are not looking for the technology behind isn't it? But how you can take advantage or this project and make money specially that the bull run is going to come.

Cardano will not replace Ethereum one way or another. Period.
I've held some ADA and staked it as well and the same with ETH. Both are really good projects, and both are what I considered as "established" projects in the crypto space already.

The problem with Cardano that I see is that they're developments are kind of slow compared to Ethereum. I mean when is the last time where Cardano had a major development with their project? I can't remember it anymore. I don't know if it's bad or not, but if you have lots of competitors, at least you need to be fast when it comes to releasing upgrades and when I mean fast, I mean fast, but at the same time no bugs whatsoever.

Either way, both projects are good. Both projects have been at the top for a very long time, and both can give passive income to their holders (through staking). I just don't see any way for Cardano to replace Ethereum.

Yeah Cardano may never overtake Ethereum. Assuming Cardano continues to focus on the upcoming updates to the network we can expect Cardano's massive adoption rate but with the upcoming bull run a new altcoin season followed by Cardano making unprecedented new highs could not.

When we are making an emphasis wish you to try to make a research before a comparison between the both projects or both coins that we are emphasising on are lamenting on, cardano and ethereum cannot be compared intense of network and it also intense of technology it is very obvious and the understanding that after Bitcoin this potentiality and the reputation it is an ethereum that call second in cryptocurrency network, when you talk of the potentiality of the boat coins we know quite well that it is ethereum that many people will recommend as a coin that I have, instead of cardano, so ethereum is the master of altcoins

One is just worse than the other.

Ethereum had a horribly bloated chain, centralized network very expensive feex.

Cardano had very slow transactions, complicated smart contracts and low development on its chain. It's debatable even if the chain had the capacity to serve dapps as the documentation has been ridiculously slow to come around by the projects own devs. It's very overhyped but over the years has contributed very little..

Still don't think that ada could replace ether cause nowadays ether is doing well and keep itself developed more. And many altcoins are helping and trying to solving ether problem like arbitrum. Many don't like ether but ether keep trying to have its reputation back. Ada isn't bad, transaction may slow but it also has many advantage but Ethereum is Ethereum and it will be top leading in next many years too

I think both of the Ethereum and Cardano are on a dying phase. The death of Cardano is more visible than Ethereum as Ethereum has the benefit of being pioneer and still is the largest platform for dapps. But competition are catching up like Solana. The competition would keep on getting tougher as better and newer L1 network arrives.
Cardano on the other hand was in development for so long that when the dapps actually started coming, the network is not as close to the new ones in technology and real life experience.

I know, both cardano and ETH have potential teams behind the altcoin but the stage ETH has gotten to in the market, I don't think cardano will replace ETH in the future because the team behind ETH are seriously working to ensure ETH maintain the second position among other cryptocurrencies to cause more people to embrace Eth in the nearest future.

I have invested in ETH before that made me vow that BTC and ETH will continue to be my favorite coins, and whenever there is bear run, I will buy BTC and ETH from the market to hodl for long because they have break into a new ATH this season that help their customers to make a good profits from their hodling.

I know, there are some people who will still prefer cardano than ETH because they have tested cardano before to earn something good from it, but if they have tested ETH before, they will know that ETH is the best altcoin to embrace.

i think it is extremely challenging to predict future of block chain technologies, however it seems unlikely that cardano to replace Ethereum in the near future. Although Cardano has made considerable progress in recent years, it is still far from overtaking Ethereum as the dominant smart contract platform.

Dying phase huh? Lol, no way man. Both coins are at the top. Cardano is silent but it does not mean it's a sign that the coin is now dying. This is only the same with other top altcoins. Look at Solana. It's also very quite before while everyone else is being talked about but it only shocked the world one day for its outstanding performances. Now it was the other coins who are now jealous at it.

ETH meanwhile, is still stable because it is like Bitcoin who will never get out of style. I think many new projects are not L1 but they are L2, L3's and so on... I guess because its name or number says it all and it might be a little outdated already.

I think opinion cardano will never replace ethereum and so far there are plenty of projects that revolve around ethereum. In fact, almost every investor is encouraged to invest in ethereum after bitcoin. Moreover, the number of investors and millions of profits are available in ethereum. If you want to get good profit from investing in crypto market then feel the need of ethereum.

In the current scenario, comparing Cardano to Ethereum isn't quite fair because Cardano is still far behind. However, we can't predict Cardano's future development. On the other hand, Ethereum's development is quite strong compared to Cardano. We'll see how both perform in this bull run, though we all know that Ethereum has already experienced significant growth. As for replacing one with the other, Ethereum currently holds a significant advantage over Cardano.

I don't think that Cardano (ADA) can replace Ethereum in the foreseeable future due to iris very low acceptability in the market. Its network is not simple and user friendly and no significant project launched on its network that could have impressed the wide majority of crypto community. In contrast Ethereum is well established and recognized network with Billions of dollars invested on its protocols.

This might have been a good question 2018 but its obvious that cardano has failed in 2024. Launched in 2017, Cardano was always hyped as the most actively developed blockchain that could be an immediate threat to Ethereum but the threat from Cardano never came. Fast forward today, there are many alternatives of Ethereum and Cardano and even though Ethereum is holding its ground, Cardano just have a ceremonial presence on the market being out shadowed by newer and better competition. Cardano might exist a bit longer, but I don't see it gaining any momentum, Even though its currently at number 10 by marketcap, I see it slip down soon Memecoins and newer utility coins threaten its position.

Cardano cannot replace ethereum because ethereum is very successful after Bitcoin and as Bitcoin cannot be beaten by any coins the same is the ethereum which is not possible to be beaten by any other altcoins. Cardano is successful and profitable but we should not compare one coin with another because every coin has its own level of success and has its own value.

We don't Know what will be the coming years but currently both cardano and Ethereum are profitable but here we cannot say that Ethereum will be replaced by cardano or cardano will be more profitable than Ethereum. The value of cardano will increase but Ethereum will also increase in its price instead of keeping a single worth forever.

Cardano will remain as is if Charlie doesn't allow stablecoins such as USDT. Until there is no centralized stablecoin right on ADA, the price will not go as high as some L1. I think TON will rank higher than ADA soon. It's a slow progress for ADA. It's cool but it's not making investors stick around on ADA. It is going to drain their patience.

Honestly, ADA was not a friendly blockchain ever since it was being introduced.

In this case, i assume TVL = Demand. It's reflected people's money whose use the platforms and locked their money there. I assume here less TVL less demands and users. It's caused by TVL has reflected how crowded the blockchain is. Even ADA's TVL is not even 1/20 of tron.

It shows that how ADA is a dying blockchain right now. It's not fuckin weird to see that people were leaving from this blockchain. The wrong thing from ADA is the developers of this blockchain keep standing with their own selfishness avoid to create ethereum bridge.

You are absolutely right that Cardano (ADA) was considered as potential competitor of Ethereum since 2017 when it was launched, and also in 2021 when overall cryptocurrencies' market was in bullish phase, it relatively performed better and its price reached to $2,58 which is its all time high (ATH). However, since then it could not make any impressive moves, even in 2024 when Bitcoin made new ATH, Cardano price remained below a dollar.

In view of the foregoing, it is highly unlikely that Cadano can compete with Ethereum, Solana or BNB chains unless any technological advancement occurs in its network that could attract significant investment in its ecosystem.

I will definently go with cardano over Eth anytime of the day . Personally don't like the high network fees associated with eth so I will prefer to do most of my activities on cardano blockchain .Much easier and cheaper for me 

Will Cardano replace Ethereum? it's possible, but very difficult. As you know, currently Ethereum is the king of altcoins and Cardano's level is still far below Ethereum. Just imagine, if you want to compete with ethereum, Cardano has to go through other big altcoins such as TON SOL and BNB. but apart from that problem cardano is one of the best altcoins and the achievements to date are extraordinary.

We hold significant changes and also having a good leading advantage over Cardano which is new project and probably the team working behind this project is also looking for heavy traffic in the market. Cardano shouldn't be compared to Ethereum because the distance is more bigger and extensive than the project we're all hyping. Ethereum have been in existence in the space because the team behind this project is not classified as some random average team.

Cardano is one of the potential altcoins, but as you said, replacing ethereum is certainly very difficult because the current level of ethereum is very high and very far from cardano coins, so it will take a long time to pass ethereum and it is very difficult to replace the coin, even cardano one of the coins that has high potential for the future.

As we know that the ecosystem in Ethereum continues to grow rapidly, also the EVM owned by Ethereum is widely used in various blockchains, both Layer 1 and Layer 2. So I don't think that Cardano will replace Ethereum.

Cardano is an altcoin that has enormous potential and popularity in the crypto market, but when compared to ethereum I think Cardano is still far behind, and has to make big changes in everything, and of course these changes require a long process to be able to compete, let alone beat. ethereum's popularity, in my opinion ethereum is still a priority investment after bitcoin at this time,

ethereum is more credible to use compared to cardano, although there are things that make cardano cheaper to use than ethereum, but people still trust ethereum more to use on their projects today. but that does not mean that cardano loses their appeal to attract developers to be able to create their projects on this architecture, but it requires more effort and further development in the cardano ecosystem, just like what solana is doing now.

In my opinion, Cardano will not be able to replace Ethereum as the top Altcoin and the best Altcoin in cryptocurrency history. and Ethereum continues to show excellent development from year to year, making it increasingly popular with various groups. compared to cardano I'm sure everyone chooses ethereum and ethereum is irreplaceable by any altcoin.

We can't really tell for now and Cardano price is still far below comparing to Ethereum. Cardano price $0.4224 and Ethereum is $3,514.29 so this comparison is abnormal because the gap is too much. Before Cardano reach $1, Ethereum might reach $10,000 so this comparison is not fair for Ethereum.
And I a simple way to the question, I will say cardano will never replace Ethereum even in 2 centuries. And I know because you like cardano token and that is why you are comparing these two.

Both of them have their strengths and weaknesses, but i see that those weaknesses and strengths will complement each other (if only they work together) i noticed a lot of things that would be mutually beneficial to each other that you might also realize.

because they are both smart contract platorms. there are people very bullish on Cardano though such as Rauol Pal and his friends as far as i know Cuban is among off those guys who also shill Cardano at the beginning of the bullrun back in 2020. not sure if these guys are still holding ADA, i suspect they already dumped before the bear market.

the team Bankless and Charles have recently been beefing each other on whether there are really developers in ADA. Charles earned more enemies over time.

I would guess that what they are talking about is market cap, and not the price of the currency because that would make more sense. Price wise ADA can't reach ETH at all, that would not be possible, and to be fair nobody really expects it to catch neither, but marketcap ranking is another discussion.

Not that it will catch there neither, ADA has 15 billion marketcap whereas ETH has about 420 billion (lol) so I do not think that we are going to see ADA pass there neither. So, only thing we can have right now is the question "which one will make you more money if you invest right now", and in that situation ADA has a chance, doesn't mean it can win, but at the very least there is a possibility of ADA being better investment.

You are absolutely correct that It seems unlikely that price wise ADA will reach Etherem's value in the foreseeable future, becuase the total value locked on Ethereum ecosystem is 62.3 Billion dollar and no other chain including prominent chains such as BNB and SOLANA are not even close to it. Investment ADA can be considered once we see some tangible progress in their ecosystem that might translate into price increase if market begins to see ADA as a promising coin.

Both in price and market capitalization are very different here, considering what ADA and ETH have achieved is very far, so I don't think it's comparable because ADA is far behind ETH, so the development of the project ADA looks more stagnant and there are not many updates or applications built on the ADA network, but ETH has tremendous adoption until today the issuance of the ETH Spot ETF, it's a step too far and seeing that the blue chip of the crypto currency market is Ethereum so I think ADA doesn't even have much opportunity to grow like ETH.

To see whether or not it's profitable probably depends on the market adoption where they will see projects built on both and where they can benefit, and I think ETH has much more potential than ADA even though the price is still cheap.

ADA can still increase its market capitalization while ETH already has a very large market capitalization so I think it will be very difficult to make a lot of profit with ETH. ADA has a chance but I think it will be very difficult. These two tokens are very good for investing. ETH has the potential to continue to create profits and it is like Bitcoin for altcoins. ADA has a promising future and has smooth and fast transactions.

In my opinion, Cardano is one of the altcoins that has great potential and popularity in the crypto world, but ethereum is an altcoin that is highly prioritized when compared to Cardano, because ethereum is one of the altcoins that can always survive in any condition, if Even if the price declines, it will quickly recover following the development of Bitcoin, and in my opinion that is why Ethereum is better than Cardano.

I think Cardano and ethereum both have very good potential in the future, but Cardano's achievements are very far from ethereum, because ethereum is the best and is a very priority investment compared to Cardano,

The Cardano was the good coin,but compared to the Ethereum is not that much potential one.It’s my opinion and it may vary to the person to person.Because the Ethereum had huge number of years surviving in the market and the price of the Ethereum also already reached the value of 3k dollars.The price of the Cardano was not reach upto the 1k dollars.So the more year surviving in the market will increase the demand for the Cardano as like the Ethereum in the cryptocurrency market.

People will "stick" with the chain that has the most hype. And that chain, is NOT Cardano. It's none other than Ethereum itself. Cardano's development progress is slow as it's focused on security/reliability more than anything else. This leads to less excitement among investors and traders alike. Everyone is looking for the next big thing.

With ETH constantly building and innovating, all of the attention goes into it. We shouldn't expect ADA to reach higher market prices in the timebeing. At least, the chain works as intended. It's much more decentralized and reliable than the overhyped Solana chain (probably even more than Ethereum). Who knows what surprises we'll find in the future?

why are you asking something when you know there is a different direction between ethereum and cardano. how can they change positions from different directions. so I think both work in their own direction. and nothing can replace ethereum or cardano in cryptocurrency. and I agree that the two will coexist in the future.
