We have etherum bossing altcoins since time past and there has been non replica of any coin that has tried bossing etherum
Just like bitcoin is a king on its own, etherum remains a king on its own too.

Looking forward to the influence of bnb tokens, and okb tokens can have on etherum dominance.

ETH no doubt is the king of the altcoins, I believe in this belief of other's here.
As I had to observe since 2917 Eth price value in the market remains stable and its holders'increase as well,
as time goes by now. And I am so impressed so far that most of the community still embraces what ETH really
all about.

They have been holding this position for many years and despite so many attempts and many competitors around specially in 2017, ETH remains the king of altcoins because.

(1) They have a charismatic leader on top, although he is no longer that involved in the development, Vitalik is still synonymous to ETH

(2) They are still the platform of choice for most projects

(3) Prime mover

(4) Their DApps is still dominant and still being used up to this day for deployment

(5) Has the full support of the community

(6) ETH 2.0 deployment

yes dear i know.I love ethereum.Many coin list on Coinmarketcap but one of best of best altcoin ethereum.ETH 2.0 launch than ethereum price double.

I have already seen many times the message that ETH is waiting for death and other altcoins will take its place, but I always knew that ETH is the king that will not get out of its place. Why am I so confident about ETH? The fact is that this is not just an altcoin, it is a whole ecosystem that has been proving its success for many years and has a positive effect on the development of the crypto sphere. ETH is the king of altcoins and will continue to be so.

There was the Chinese Ethereum, NEO and it's doing good IMHO.

Yup, nothing beats Ethereum as the king of altcoins and the place of bitcoin is higher than it.

BNB could be the next contender for Ethereum. If the Ethereum 2.0 isn't going to be successful, most people will look towards BNB which is increasingly its popularity. But I think the 2.0 is going to be a surprising upgrade for Ethereum and we can see its reaction.

Ethereum has a pioneering purpose which is "The platform that runs Smart Contract" until today despite that many projects are replicating Ethereum's success in creating the smart contracts innovation but one thing is for sure Ethereum still the original so there's no dispute about it. and of course the implementation of the upcoming Ethereum 2.0 update particularly the Serenity upgrade which is happening in early June 2020 next month.

It seems ethereum is favouring you presently, well if you ask those who buy at 1500$ per Ethereum they will say another thing entirely, ethereum is old and remains the best altcoin but I do wish it goes back to its ATH once again

But ethereum is not entertaining much for investing in the past couple of years only now people are getting back into ethereum due ethereum 2.0 and hopefully from now on ethereum will become bullish which makes most of the tokens as well.

Totally agree. Other altcoins might provide competition to eth but I don't think they could overcome it in the near future. The development and upgrade on the eth platform is something that is awaited in the months to come. The platform will continue to grow.

This is the reason why ETH is a strong magnet for everyone to have, besides having the potential and altcoin favorite after BTC even though the price fluctuates according to current market conditions.

Ethereum gas prices are a lot because blockchain is getting used more and more everday. Defi's are building on it and every good thing almost on ethereum. So it is very normal that they are king of altcoins and very valuable.They are getting more mainstream every new day.

Ethereum would still remain the most popular altcoin for years to come. It's still one of the most actively developed network with a large number of active developers. They are working to improve the network to make it much faster and cheaper so it could be easily used as a utility token. For the same reason, it's supply would not be limited and the new generation would be limited just as to not bring scarcity in market.

I thought ethereum was the number two coin in the cryptocurrency world, and the coin in the first position in the altcoin world. some coins have taken the position of ethereum, and some coins have also been reported to replace ethereum. however, the fact is that until now ethereum still remains in the first position on the most sought-after altcoin.

No, I would put BNB in another league.
Same as how you divided Bitcoin and Ethereum.

BNB can be the king of exchange coins and not in the row of Bitcoin.
It's better that way. I think so.
Somehow, they will be number one on their own league and could be easier for people to describe why they have both or all that coins.

It's quite difficult to say Ethereum will die, because Ethereum will not die and continue to grow. Ethereum has a wide ecosystem. But now too many projects have been born and could have replaced Ethereum someday if Ethereum no longer provided innovative updates and only used the ancient system continuously.

Now there are much more interesting projects on the cryptocurrency market than Ethereum. now, ethereum really remains the king of altcoins, but how long this will continue - no one knows.

Nothing can replace Ethereum until now it has been in position 2 with big capitalists above the average of other coins so I don't think anyone can overtake it all because we know that Ethereum is very useful for all projects that use smart contracts .

Just because of the pumping right now many people are talking about Ethereum, well obviously this is the best moment where Ethereum has begun to show its identity as a servant and high coin.

Bossing altcoins sound too aggressive for the Ethereum I know. Sure, Ethereum has the best chance to come near Bitcoin but its position also a bit at risk for so many cryptos going exactly the same path as Ethereum. Even BNB token with a strong backup from the biggest exchange, Binance could make some upset if they are serious and patient.

Yeah it is of a truth that ethereum has been dominating the altcoin section for a long time, but I could remember sometimes that Ripple has also tried to overtake ethereum, although this wasn't lasted more than few hours.  There are also other altcoins that are doing well, for example Stellar.  Ethereum needs to continuing developing/improving, otherwise overtaking is very possible.

   XRP is going down, and I wouldn't compare XRP with Ethereum, in any terms. I even believe that market capitalization of XRP
is a manipulation of some kind.
   Ethereum can't be a king, Bitcoin is a king, and we will not see any coin, not even Ethereum replacing it. Ethereum is the platform,
the best we have, and I believe in Ethereum as I believe in some other coins. World is a big place, there is room for all of them,
but Ethereum is the first and it will be the most used in the future.

Ethereum is an absolute gem while i do not like comparisons and big statements but i was reading some expert analysis that concluded that ethereum has the potential to give serious competition to btc this bull season in terms of its increasing dominance and value. So hold on and wait for massive surge in ethereum value in next few months.

And Ethereum will continue bossing them because it has proven to be better than the other blockchains. Although there have been many blockchains which rose to challenge Ethereum blockchain yet funny enough they are still under Ethereum. Also, I think it would be better for projects to stop challenging each other but Instead work on becoming better and even the best in their own area. Ethereum took a different approach and today it keeps growing, same with Binance exchange, thus once the focus is to remain the best in that area, the platform in question will keep growing.

Actually, etherum has always been the king with no altcoin matching its influence or dominance, and more importantly its wide range feature of being extremely easy to use. Bnb and okb can only try, i don't see an exchange token battling etherum for dominance

yeah, for me as well, i do not see BNB or OKB as competition for ETH, maybe some other coins and networks, but i do not expect that centralized exchange coins could de-throne ETH and Ethereum network, it would be a shame, and probably not good for decentralized applications as well

In Terms of utility, Ethereum has built the foreground for it to stay in a high position but I do no think I will be for long.
For how many currencies and economies it has o support, plus the transactions or icos ,it I s just not scaling well.

I don't know why happens to it next but there are any competitors that offer better utility like more transactions and services like DAX but don't have a 10 TB Blockchain. ETH is hard to deploy these days and most serious tokens have been looking into alternatives.Word is that even erc20 will be done faster by others. We can only wait and see how long it lasts.

ETH has a pretty good performance in the development of cryptocurrency so ETH is very worthy to be called the king of altcoin for now or in the future. The ethereum network has given birth to many projects that have been so successful that ETH has been very influential in the crypto market.

Ever since today's surge of ETH, with massive push breaking consolidation zone, most ETH holders per say have been happy, putting up some "ETH to the moon" related posts. I believe this is just lil compared to what we expect in future, let's see how ETH 2.0 plays out. If there is one altcoin I can comfortably hold without having a second thought on long term basis, then it's ETH for sure.

Until now, Eth still holding the second spot from the top list of all crypto so he's still getting more support.


Truth, until they manage to launch their own chain still using Eth system.


This should be the mentality behind every projects, instead of competing, targeting dedicated venue to be more useful in terms of system.


The good thing is, both are excelling from their part and allow investors and supporters to grow with the projects.

Those are the people that bought into the fomo which is against the law of investment. Don't jump into the moving vehicle when its already at it highest speed, during those days when ethereum went higher, investors took their funds hoping for a bigger rise but where disappointed. The ethereum upgrade will help the altcoins move faster than expected, the future of this coin will surprise the entire cryptocurrency industry.

You are right better yet no one has created anything https://thedefiant.substack.com/p/ether-is-the-best-model-for-money (https://thedefiant.substack.com/p/ether-is-the-best-model-for-money)

it can't even to be called as the king of altcoin. Ethereum didn't influence the price of altcoins that were building on their platform. Ethereum is only affecting the price of ERC20 token that were using its own platform.
I may call that as a major crypto is more than enough.

Ethereum has a very special platform and any new project will use this platform to develop, so ETH is undoubtedly the king of all altcoins. However, the value of this coin has remained low during the past year because since the ICO no longer attracted the attention of investors, the coin has been subject to major adjustments. I expect this coin to return to the old ATH again if people feel more confident in this market.

Ethereum will act as the king of altcoins in following years. It has been growing steady and stably since March this year. When i see someone compare an altcoin with ETH and claim that it will defeat ETH in near future i just laugh because it's a stupid comparison to shill a coin.

There is no altcoin that can compare to Ethereum because this coin always has a very important position in the market. There used to be a lot of coins like BNB, NEO, EOS compared to Ethereum but in the end there was not any victory for these coins. For me, Ethereum will always be the king of altcoin and any comparisons will be lame.

If you are saying based ont he market valuation and that's true but when you were saying it based on the technical view like the product, platform and anyother, im not sure about that consider about ether has been getting a lot of competitor these days.

Yes, there are competitors but still Ethereum is dominant and no one can get close to it.

It's like bitcoin before, there are so called competitions including Ethereum but it remain unscathed after so many attempts. And the trust test for me is the market valuation, top altcoins, the price is getting stronger, liquidity is there, trading volume is up more than any other altcoin besides bitcoin, so what can you asked for?

ETH is important infrastruture project, so many alts are working on it. Of course its the king of alts

I think BNB coin still needs a long time to defeat ethereum dominance in altcoin, as well as OKB tokens. With the difference in market cap value that is still large, maybe ethereum will still dominate altcoin for a long time because besides ethereum is widely used by new projects, ethereum can be a business need for companies that want to be involved in the cryptocurrency world

There were already a few great answers to this point, I just want to add a few news to keep it up to date.

DeFi goes ballistic - https://news.bitcoin.com/ethereums-2020-defi-boom-doubles-active-ether-addresses-but-fees-skyrocket/

Development of ETH2.0 next phase - https://cointelegraph.com/news/eth-20-dev-shares-details-of-upcoming-community-testnet

And a little off-topic here, yield farming explained in simple words - https://www.coindesk.com/defi-yield-farming-comp-token-explained

I think if ETH 2.0 could become the industry standard even outside the fintech and crypto space, it could be the ultimate blockchain solution to go to for the years to come

Nothing unusual for Ethereum to be the king od altcoins still since most of the altcoins that rises up in the market are ERC tokens. There are just more developers interested on its platform than the ones that claimed ETH killers. w When the announcement about 2.0 will be on testnet by next month, the spike went real which made ETH a good investment that can definitely double in few months.

ripple had surpassed eth several days ago but was recaptured and never beaten again.
maybe tether will chase if you do print on a large scale.
bnb and okb are still too far away but no one can predict them directly

I don't see any altcoin taking the place of Ethereum any time soon because it has maintained this position for so long and it has not relent in doing so with major developments by the team behind it. It has also remained the original smart contract platform for many projects,although there are other platforms trying to beat this, like TRON, EOS and RSK

ETH is a project that knows what they are doing and started strong. That's one thing that made ETH the king of alts and always. You can't just beat it, from the top to the least so I don't expect anything low from them. So many project uses their blockchain and now that competition is growing, yet ETH is getting better. The will To get better is the drive to keep being on top.

Though they lack scalability right now I am confident once ETH 2.0 is out scalability won't be going to be a problem anymore but, this year ETH will have to face fierce competition in which I think ETH will prevail.

If Ethereum wants to be the king, he need to do something with transaction price. Right now it is growing and no one knows when it will stop.
If this continues, it might reach bitcoins transaction price level. And Ethereum competitors (Tron, Stellar, EOS) wont wait and will try to overthrow the king.

already to many new coins have appeared on the market but still cannot compete with Ethereum. Ethereum is by far the best coin on the crypto market and of course ETH is the king of Altcoin. we might wonder who will be the next king in the coming year and whether BNB is able to compete with Ethereum? the answer certainly can't be answered.

Indeed, Ethereum is the most popular altcoin and there is even no point in arguing with this, because the technologies and capabilities of Ethereum are the most demanded and soon Ethereum will delight us with new discoveries and that is why so many big players invest in Ethereum so often.

It's clearly stated that by ethereum code developer if the serenity update will upgrade the ethereum scalability to load a lot of tx at the same time. Scalability will not be a problem again as ethereum 2.0 is a very big update.

Perhaps, with the next update from ethereum developer can make ethereum stronger at the market. I think it will remain as the king of the altcoin because, with the popularity of ethereum right now, it is still difficult for another altcoin to beat ethereum position. However, BNB can be the next rival for ethereum. But BNB itself will need time to beat ethereum, so I think we will see ethereum price will have time to touch the high price again. But ethereum needs to be careful because there are many newcomers in the market that want to lift the position.

since ethereum became coin number 2 after bitcoin, very many altcoins are trying to replace ethereum, unfortunately until now no one can replace ethereum as king of altcoin and in my opinion after ethereum 2.0 will be stronger and will remain king of altcoin

ETH will remain the king until someone makes an even more convenient and simple cryptocurrency with all the advantages of ETH and some killer features

Eth will remain the king till it place was replaced by another one potential Altcoin. Eth had made a good followers and supporters in short period in market. This make a different among other altcoin. Now it was strengthen by convention of all new altcoin to Eth by the traders by a panic. Let's see what will happen in future, since Ethereum 2.0 was also in a market.

True, but if we look at the example of Bitcoin who has long been a king in cryptocurrency, the Ethereum must work even harder to improve all aspects that are still weak in their bodies, Ethereum is ranked second in the second level, but to move up to the first level is not easy, because what Ethereum has to defeat is the current king, Bitcoin.

in my opinion ethereum can never be replaced by anyone because ethereum is already too strong and has been trusted by everyone, even though these days there has been a fee increase but many still use it

Ethereum is a popular altcoin and for a long time, it has been holding its position on cryptocurrency.  Many projects in the past and present have used and are using the Ethereum network to fund-collecting through their ICOs and IEOs, resulting in increasing demand for it. Many people have said that some altcoins can take  Ethereum`s place at different times. But I don't think that's possible because the growth of Ethereum and its use has made it one of the best Altcoin.

Why BNB is next? Shouldn't it be XRP?
It is okay to ignore BCH but I dont think it is easy to ignore XRP. ;D

BNB though is in its right place.
It's best used for the Binance exchange and they are not going out of that box.
I have invested in it before but sadly I withdrew early.
Ethereum still have lots to happen. The staking process may not be hyped much yet. Maybe when its really near.

There is no doubt that ethereum has many function and adaptation in various need. Many people also use etreum for gambling and more. Ethreum is now irreplaceable compared to other altcoin and is the first altcoin under bitcoin that has the highest trading volume. You can see it on the coin market stamp website to get a clear comparison.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/markets/

There is no doubt that Ethereum is the king of all altcoins. And I firmly believe that none of the altcoins can overcome the current position of Ethereum. On the contrary, day by day Ethereum will strengthen its foundation. From the beginning of my crypto life, I have a special fondness for this Etherium.

Yes no one knows but since eth still king and right now even i believe eth future good. Honestly eth wanna update 2.0 it will inches after finish upgrade. I know just a short period eth already take lots of investors and people's loves so we can make dream the next profits dor.

Basically, ETH has been truated as the best altcoin so far. It is also has platform where most platforms are used and w cannot separate with the news about it. But so far, it is a save investment with good project idea.

Without a doubt ethereum is the king of the altcoins, the price of this altcoins has risen above what we thought it to be in the short time. For anyone accumulating this altcoin will definitely have a good reason to celebrate success. The current spike in this coin has once again proven that it has the potentials of leading the altcoins squadron to the moon.

And with its updated version of Ethereum 2.0, we will have to witness more success for ethereum that will keep its position as the number one most developed and useful altcoin when it comes to projects platform. Bitcoin may be the king of crypto market but ethereum will always be the best altcoin next to it.

Ethereum's bad run through the bear disappointed me so much, from $1400 to $80, ridiculous dump and it has not climbed that high since then. It lost most of its use case when ICO era was eradicated but it had made so much money from the period, as a project and for the team. The project face more challenges with competitors but the fund in their bank is capable of regular development and manipulation of other projects but the project seem to have more loop holes than any other smart contract project. I hope the ETH 2.0 has more to offer and could lead to the next bull. Ethereum is pivotal to altcoin. I believe the good run of ethereum will influence the altseason.

How about USDT. I think USDT currently dominates every crypto market. Even the daily trading volume beats the volume of Bitcoin. It's just that USDT is a stable coin. If the total supply increases, and supply circulation increases. Then USDT will take over all this.

That's what I'm talking about - it's a normal process. Who used to be everything becomes nothing and Vice versa, and this is quite an adequate and normal market process. If the crypto-world did not have such a change of "generations" then there would be no sense in this decentralized world! It is a pity that some people do not want to accept changes even in crypto

Ethereum has been the king of altcoin for a long time, aren't you aware of it ?,
Even though the increase in ETH prices has still not satisfied, Ethereum still ranks second in coinmarketcap

the ethereum market has become very strong. not easy to replace it. the movements are now following the BTC market movements. and when BTC rises, the growth of ETH will probably be the same as BTC.

dont be too confidence, everything possible to ethereum and its competitor. we see many projects they provide new technology that maybe better than ethereum. they continue developt new feature and network scalability to replace competitors. we should not look at price only , but how competitor work developting product.

for now, ETH is still the king of all altcoins, but that does not mean it will not be replaced by other altcoins, now BNB is also trying hard to compete with ETH.

Yes I believe so. So many projects are claiming thay they are ethereum like credits and eos but they falied to deliver what is expected to them. It will take a long time to replace ethereum as a top altcoin in my opinion.

BNB I think it will be difficult to compete with Ethereum, the Ethereum ecosystem is much bigger than Binance,
look at Ethereum for years it has always been second place

Competition between Altcoin is always there, and to find out who will be superior later is to find out about the developments they are doing, both on the ETH and on the BNB, because the launch is clearly ETH earlier than the BNB, even though the current BNB This has also been very good development.

Every coin has a different service: Bitcoin, Ethereum and Binance (Except Okex exchange). Now is the time of Ethereum, the upcoming announcement for Ethereum 2.0. Ethereum is the king of altcoins, after Ethereum 2.0 we could see an altcoins pump. Binance is doing great because Binance has the top exchange and Binance USD.

Ethereum has long been the most popular altcoin because of its incredible technologies and capabilities, and therefore ethereum will be the most popular altcoin for a long time, but many other altcoins have also come very close to ethereum.

Just like how Bitcoin remains king of crypto currency, Ethereum will continue to remain as king of altcoin as I don't see any other altcoin even inching closer to the feat which Ethereum has established. I remember only one instance till date when ripple took the number two slot from Ethereum but Ethereum was back to number two slot in a flash. I am sure we need to wait for couple of more years in order to see any competitor to Ethereum as there are absolutely no competition for Ethereum in terms of altcoins.

The first mover advantage ethereum has over other altcoins has given it an edge over the years and takes it borderless it terms of appearing highly ranked and also has conquered all competitors but i see a new trend in the case of delay of eth 2.0 launch.

It's the first platform that used the smartcontract which have been getting copied by a bunch of crap projects. Ethereum is the real king of altcoin and when there was no smartcontract and there will be no so many assets that exist in the market.

Of course ETH is king of altcoin. ETH made massive move after they upgraded ETH to ETH 2.0. They have bunch of crypto experience people working on this project. That's why ETH still hold their position since very long time. They have huge community and supporter which make this project so strong.



BNB and OKB also great altcoin. Both are came from great exchanges. But i don't think it's a easy task to beat ETH.

Ethereum is going up a lot in the recent days and I feel like that means it is also picking up pace with the staking thing as well, people are seeing that. Remember before the halving happened in bitcoin the price increased from 4k to 10k (went down because of pandemic) and that means price stayed the same after the halving as well and didn't increased all that much. SO you can see that people are buying before something happens and not after it happens. That was the situation in halving and I feel like that is what will be in staking as well for ethereum.

People are buying right now and they will not buy afterwards, which is why I feel like the best way to approach this is with care and wait until staking but do not buy afterwards or right before, buy it right now if you want to but do not buy it a month before it goes to eth 2.0

Same with my opinion, with how ETH keep tailing bitcoin it's still have a good edge from every other alts that being introduced around the market.


Happened before but it didn't took that long for ETH to recover back and continue the second spot until now.


With how ETH still showing competitiveness it will take time before another project to challenge its stand.

Ethereum has always been the king of all altcoins, no doubts about that, since it is the second most popular crypto currency in the world, there is no way it can be compared to other altcoins,just as it can't be compared to bitcoin BTC,I've been hearing about the eth 2.0 deployment which is said to out by next month, this is something really huge and exciting :o, you can see the on the market charts that eth is going up everyday.
And lastly I don't think BNB can affect ethereum dominance in the crypto world, they are not in the same league, but in terms of exchange coins BNB is the king  8).

i like bnb, but i never think if bnb or others altcoins will beat ethereum,
because i'm very confidence with eth, i believe ethereum will always stand as the king of altcoins buddy

Since I began my cryptocurrency journey few years ago, ethereum has always been my best bet when it comes to cryptocurrency investment. I went through so much set backs holding tokens and have learnt my lesson the hard way. I believe ethereum has so much to offer and it's just getting started. Let's see how the ethereum 2.0 project goes, I'm positive that it would bring better opportunities to the cryptocurrency industry and contribute to the decentralisation dream.

This is so true! ETH has been around the market long enough to gain trust and reputation through the market. There's no doubt that ETH is one of the biggest coins in the cryptocurrency world. Since the price of ETH is increasing, many people are skeptical about the pumps and worry that ETH may be a scam but it's too ridiculous. Talk about ETH 2.0, I'm also positive that this event will trigger ETH to pump and create a bullish season for altcoin!

If ETH appeared earlier than Bitcoin, then perhaps this coin would dominate this market because, by comparison, Ethereum seemed to outperform Bitcoin in technology.

I always choose to invest long-term in this coin and only sell when I am profitable. Almost any new token uses the Ethereum platform and this is why the coin is always valid in the crypto market and is the king of all altcoins.

No doubt! ETH has been always the second biggest and influential coin in the market. Almost every new trader will buy either BTC or ETH to fill their wallet. I have a strong belief that if ETH 2.0 launched, ETH will strongly prove its position in the market. Right now, many traders and investors are holding ETH and we all can see that the price of ETH is increasing strongly!

ethereum will remain king altcoin because of its dominance has lasted long enough bear market many doubts ethereum can back up and now ethereum has proven to be altcoin very profitable for traders to trade for a long period of time I look eth on the market since years 2017 graph tends to increase whenever the holder also play an important role for ethereum prices could still survive until today.

Although there are many threats they continue to be so, Ethereum whales are moving to keep Ethereum pump and remain in the second position to become the next big market and popular Cryptocurrency, but they should not rest their laurels many projects are coming up to challenge Ethereum in it's position.

Ethereum is trusted by most users and investors since most altcoins are using the ethereum blockchain. Their project is still active in development trying to keep is as the top altcoin since more and more projects are showing potential. Ethereum had always been one of my choices as an investment even since I started joining crypto.

yes ethereum will remain the king of altcoin because until now there are still no competitors who can defeat it, their platforms have been widely used so it is impossible to shift ethereum as king

the ETH project comprehends what they are doing and began solid. That is one thing that made ETH the lord of alts and consistently. You can't simply beat it, from the top to the least so I don't expect anything low from them. So many project utilizes their blockchain and since rivalry is developing, yet ETH is improving. The will To improve is the drive to continue being on top.

BNB Coin could be a competitor to ethereum but I think it will still take some time to shift ethereum's place in the 2nd position of coinmarketcap. Ethereum has a great ecosystem that can be used for business and this is why many new projects prefer to use the ethereum blockchain network over others.

I agree strong foundation is the key to a strong and stable position, they started on the right track, they have unique features and they started the trend and the smart contract thing, the original is always the best and whatever they do or add the community always respond positively, I don't think there's any coin that can be considered a seriosu threat to Ethereum's position.

This is already a foregone conclusion, yes ETH will stay on top because obviously, investors are money are flowing to their ecosystem as much as we heard a lot of this called competitors with fast and cheap mainnet and project should move their Dapps on that network, no one can really challenge ETH because it is the prime mover of altcoin market.

Just look at the pairings in trading floor, most of them are in the BTC/x or ETH/x pairing? Why because both crypto are stable and most investors prefer them over thousands of crypto out there. Maybe we can see challenge it's dominance, but I doubt that they can overtake it as ETH as established a name for itself in this market.

As long as they can keep up and as long as they offer new features they will stay in their position, there have been a lot of threats and there was a time that they are overtaken by Ripple although in just a short period of time, but now they have a lot of competitor not just Ripple, so it's very interesting what will be the case in three years.

Ethereum remains the king of wellcoins in a much better position in the market and ethereum’s position after bitcoin many profitable currencies to invest in the value of the ripple coin is good but its position after ethereum demand for investment is both high. The market is at the top of the competition most traders are holding on to their investments due to rising prices it is not possible to make accurate predictions because the crypto market is not stable.

Yeah right but still they continue to dominate as they also continuing to develop the project. If they stayed doing well for sure they will keep this position and even there are projects who are also trying to overtake ETH survive.
You have to assess and not just relied with the trend, always pay attentions with development and surely you'll able to catch up.

Indeed. There is no chance for Ripple/XRP to beat or replace Ethereum for being the king or top altcoins in the market because the Ethereum goal was to create or run decentralized services based on Blockchain technology. Ripple is also a promising coin because even it has a low price is still a good investment opportunity than other coins, but it has a different purpose and not suitable to beat ETH.

Ethereum is a very good coin in altcoin,
 Ethereum can be called the king of altcoins in the way it has been constantly improving and maintaining its rankings since its inception.
 Many people may think that the price of Ethereum decreases from time to time, they need to keep in mind that increasing or decreasing the price of cryptocurrency is a common thing.
 Ethereum 2.0 has been updated. This is a huge success for Ethereum.
 This has multiplied Ethereum's transactions many times over.
 Anyway I think Ethereum is definitely the king of altcoins.
 Thanks.

This thread is totally agreeable seeing how dominant ethereum compared with several altcoins. No wonder that there will come a time that ethereum will be the next bitcoin because of its performance in the market for several years already.

There's ni doubt that Ethereum were still on the highest rank of profitable altcoins in the market since then.  Ethereum been good in investment and in trading, knowing that this altcoin were next to bitcoin and have already proved its project worth. There were some altcoins trying to replaced ethereum but then non of them succeeded. Well, however XRP and Binance were good altcoins too but it can't beat ethereum.

Eth is one of the top altcoins existing nowadays.
A reliable coin to invest in either for short or long period.
Thats why it is one of the trusted alts and should be included in our crypto portfolio.

Yes because people made it that way, even with all the flaws of eth net and the high transaction fees of late eth will still remain at the top - at least for now, but nobody knows what the future holds, eth was among first alts coin and has already gained the trust of millions so other projects will have to work really hard to step up to eth level.

Like most of the members of this forum believe Ethereum is the king of altcoins, it is true that it is happening now. Since I haven't seen
any other altcoins capable of beating Ethereum, Not a few people think that Ripple with the support of many banks can beat Ethereum.
Even Binance coin is rumored to be able to beat Ethereum, but I have never seen the top 2 cryptocurrencies occupied by XRP and BNB.
This is strong evidence that Ethereum is still the king of altcoins.

Etherium project is very strong. Now a days etherium has become the hot topic.Price pump day by day. But the main obstacle is the transection fee.
Transection fee is very high. People are seeking alternative of ETH.

ETHEREUM does not grow like it usually do in the past, hot topic? I don't think so, it was not evident on its price, can't even hit $500 half of its ATH when bitcoin is starting a good run already, and going to reach its new high this year.

seeing bitcoin at $15,000 a huge success already, if ETH wants to grow also, it needs to reach at least $750.

For now, altcoins are dropping while bitcoin is strongly going upward.

No doubt that ethereum were still and always the king of all altcoins. The only altcoin that were considered as active altcoin for investment and trading. It was a good investment even for a short or long term investment but of course with the proper handling of an investor for sure it could generate a good profit. There have a lot of altcoins attempting to replace ethereum but suddenly non of them succeeded.

No coin/company will be greater than ethereum as long as it don't give life to that many projects.
Ethereum's impact on crypto market and crypto adoption is incomprehensible

yeah, it could be said that without Ethereum, Bitcoin would not be that famous as well
but, Ethereum is made for building apps, and ETH price in the long term is questionable, BTC is made as a store-of-value, and BTC price should rise in the long term, on the other hand, you never know what is going to happen

nothing can replace ethereum's position as the king of altcoin, ethereum is the pioneer of the altcoin smart contract just as bitcoin is the pioneer of cryptocurenccy so nothing can replace it even though coins are as good as binance coin and okb.  as I know, many people still use the eth network to make new coins.  eth was popular first, its use is very easy, comfortable, and fast.  the lack of eth is when the network is dense, gas prices are very expensive, but the presence of eth 2.0 will be able to cover the current eth shortage

There are indeed very many ETH users and ETH will remain the king of altcoins because many of the coins are under ETH,

but the prices of altcoins under ETH have exceeded the price of eth now even more expensive.

Absolutely correct, ETH is the king of Altcoins because of its strong use case, community base and easy to use smart contracts. However, there are other alts that has great use case and strategic partnership for future growth and expansion. One project that will revolutionalize the Crypto industry is EverusWorld, it's amazing how the platform has built #Brexily a topnotch crypto exchange within a short period of time. Traders are now trading even the native token EVR. From a TA & FA perspective, #EVR will go PARABOLIC in the near future.

 What Ethereum enthusiasts needs to realize is that ETH could be great, I love it too, I have it on one part of my portfolio and I do not believe that ETH will lose its second rank all that easily. However this doesn't mean that it should not mean that people wouldn't make more profit with other coins or other coins do not make bigger gains not only in financial and price related situations but also technologically as well.

 I agree that with ETH going towards ETH 2.0 things are going to change up again, we are going to see ETH rise in both reputation and also price and keep its place for a while more, which is why I think we just need to wait, I know we waited a long time but waiting a little bit more while like a year should be worth it if ETH team could actually pull of a proof of stake with fast transactions and cheap costs with all these amazing all around systems using ETH blockchain at the same time.

 However I believe during all of this period, coins like BNB will be trying harder and harder to get bigger and better, I am not sure if it could ever fight for a second rank but it is definitely working towards that. They are adding so many places that BNB could be used for, it is fighting on defi and dapps and many other things with ETH and its blockchain is one of the most advanced ones as well. Which is why I believe it is quite important that utility coin could only go against utility coin which BNB can provide.

 Also BNB gets burned constantly, which makes it scarce as well and this causes the price to go up too, which is why I believe it is vitally important to realize while ETH is getting more and more mined, BNB is getting less and less available in the market. I believe this could be one of the reasons why BNB could rival ETH in rank and price and everything else given how much it is used, liked and also scarce.

 Obviously this doesn't mean BNB will be second biggest coin behind BTC, it just means that the gap is closing down and ETH is not acting quick enough to react to what BNB is doing so the difference is not as big as few years ago when BNB first started, it is much smaller and BNB keeps growing faster and faster because there is now so many people using it on places like its launchpad. Maybe BNB will become the new king of all altcoins one day, maybe it won't be , but one thing is for sure, if things continue this way the gap between ETH and BNB will be close to nothing.

Yes I agreed, Ethereum is the best altcoin but so undervalued too, the all time high was over 1400$ and now it's struggling between 300 to 450$, I expect more from the king of altcoins, hopefully things will turn around after the 2.0 upgrade that's planned to happen around now or early 2021

I do not care about this hierarchy. Ethereum is simply the most-trusted alternative coin, which might not grow very fast, but it will be definitely rule market. Most projects are based on ETH. Besides, you can successfully trade if you have it in portfolio. All exchanges have it.

To give you my honest opinion i think bnb and okb have no competition or camparison with ethereum and ethereum will keep growing its dominant place among altcoins especially with eth 2.0 coming this month the price and dominancy of eth is really expected to fly.

ethereum has been the king in altcoin for several years and it's no wonder that until now it remains the favorite altcoin for everyone, even the many competitors will not be able to replace ethereum position and maybe after 2.0, ethereum will be even stronger

I remember, in January 2018 Ripple has already beaten Ethereum and was rated second on CoinMarketCap but only for a few days. At that time, the whales have massively pumped XRP up to $3.3.

Nowadays Ripple's capitalization is almost fourfold less than Ethereum's capitalization, probably because the ETH blockchain is widely used in ICO, IEO and DeFi infrastructure. Since PayPal will allow its customers to buy Ethereum pegged assets from early 2021, I assume the ETH price will continue to rise. Additionally, Ethereum developers are currently testing the new "Mendala" network and are looking to slowly migrate from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake algorithm in the coming years, so this is another positive factor for the further growth of ETH.

Yeah, Bitcoin is the king of all cryptocurrencies, but Ethereum is the king of altcoins. 8)

Indeed, people knew it already and they never waste their time looking for another coin to invest in which seeing ETH on the market seems enough, and can't deny that it was really profitable. The fact that Bitcoin is still above, ETH is still there and we don't need to worry that soon it will be replaced by any coin coz never seen that there is a new one that even better and more capable than it has.

That ain't to wonder why Mr. Vitalik had to continue to push the launch of the new version (ETH 2.0)as a part market improvement and to make ETH even more adaptable and useful to the community.

Ethereum seems to have no competition at all, while we have seen tall claims like Eth Killer etc from a lot of projects in the past but what really happened is that all those projects are struggling and Eth is moving forward in all aspects. It is perhaps the most popular and most used blockchain network till date and growth potential is still huge.

I think one of the reasons why project team that wants the best for their projects spends so much time on it, is that, they want to provide the best of services which will be unique as well. Yes, there are few unique projects while there many scam projects that goes about copying others idea. With this little at heart, the simple reason why Ethereum is the king of altcoins is that, the team ensures everything is unique and hence will be difficult to copy. Also, with an efficient and friendly blockchain services, many new platforms will continue to leverage its blockchain, thus resulting in a more valuable Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum also have more Decentralized applications and the Ethereum 2.0 is another reason why the blockchain will continue being King.

It is the king until now, even their is an issues with the fees ethereum is still the top altcoins in the market. A lot of users truly hold and believe in this project. And I can't see indeed to be replaced by other altcoins and in the future ethereum will be improve it's usage.

Maybe in recent years Ethereum has become king for altcoins, but we can see that in recent years BNB has become a candidate and a strong competitor to compete with Ethereum in the future, we can see many bounty projects currently using BNB base, maybe it can't be denied. that BNB/(Binance) is a strong contender for ethereum in the future, we also won't know in the coming year, whether BNB / (Binance) will overtake Ethereum as the king of Altcoins or Ethereum will remain the king of Altcoins of all time.

Until now there is no serious threat, Ethereum just keep on making progress and leaving the nearest competitor by a mile, but unfortunately they cannot close the gap on Bitcoin's dominance over them, they are good at what they are doing but Bitcoin is far ahead with no big changes over the years, it is just what it is.

ETH ranks high in the market cap rankings and is used by many people as most tokens are built on top of ETH. We already have ICOs, DEFI on Ethereum but let's admit that many new technologies are better than Ethereum and if they are good enough they can still beat Ethereum.
I always look at technology first and I see Ethereum probably lagging in 5 years if they don't make Etherum great.

yes,, competitors only survive in months only since its launched but after few years there is no significant developtment from competitors that could be serious problem for ethereum. so far only binance chain that still show its power as ethereum competitor due its low fee in transaction. in near time ethereum core development will release eth 2.0 and maybe its be important update for ethereum . if not failed i am sure market will response well and price will climbin.

The main strength of Ethereum is its large developer community.

There are a lot of developers in the Ethereum ecosystem.  Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Tron, and EOS have a lot less of them.  

Cryptocurrency developers are conservative people.  A trader or investor can "stop loving" one cryptocurrency and "love" another.  To "stop loving" cryptocurrency, a developer needs to acquire new skills, perhaps even learn a new programming language.  

The community of professional developers is the main advantage of Ethereum over other cryptocurrencies using smart contracts.

Vitalik Buterin is a smart individual and innovative minded person. He created a network that can never stop running because about 98% of token depends on its availability.
The Ether is another booster for ethereum, one need ether to transfer tokens hosted on the network, this is why ethereum will remain the king.

Ethereum is also simple mostly user friendly in wallet, address and DApps.

Yes, after bitcoin there is no other coin perform well in all alternative coin and that ethereum. Clearly the marketcap volume says it all when ethereum landed next to it after bitcoin.

Then aside from that ethereum could launch anytime soon on the working progress of ethereum network that could possibly change the how ethereum transactions could be done. In the case where mant could feel it then I guess more and more coming project will going to use the ethereum network.

ETH is hanging tight for death and different altcoins will have its spot, however I generally realized that ETH is the lord that won't escape its place. For what reason am I so certain about ETH. They are attempting to improve the organization to make it a lot quicker and less expensive so it could be handily utilized as a utility token. The task face more difficulties with contenders however the asset in their bank is fit for normal turn of events and control of different undertakings yet the venture appear to have more escape clauses than some other savvy contract venture.

We can say that Ethereum is the king of altcoins from the beginning, this coin was the top altcoin in the market cap and I don' see anything wrong about here because as what I have notice, the project of Vitalik was really good in which he already think the future or years ahead of time in order to know that this altcoin ethereum will boom in the market. Take note that there will be an Ethereum 2.0, just think of that and what would be the success of this project when the ethereum 1 was just like so how about will be the run of the version 2?

yes, as we all know ethereum has proven to be the king of altcoins in markets other than BTC itself. I still remember when XRP tried to overtake ETH in the market but it didn't last long, ETH was able to reclaim its current position. and to this day ETH is still the king of altcoins in the crypto currency market.

Ethereum is supported by miners and many are holding Ethereum for a variety of reasons. Many people bought Ethereum for a very high price of $ 1500 in 2017 and so far they have not been able to pay back. Ethereum has been involved in ICO projects and DAPPs are mostly built on Ethereum.
It is possible that in the future when the crypto space expands and requires a better blockchain, Ethereum will be replaced. I always appreciate the technology factor, a platform related to smart contracts so it is not congested and has high transaction costs like Ethereum.

Ethereum is the most valuable altcoin in crypto because there are many platform using the ethereum blockchain.
Up to date, there are countless ICO or IEO or any new startup project using ERC20 token as their native token in their platform.
The more demands created on Ethereum, the more value rising on ETH coin as the most valuable altcoin.

I guess people just prefer the oldy tech over many new techs, that's pointing to Bitcoin and Ethereum, if crypto space is all about better technology bitcoin and Ethereum would have lost their positions long time ago but that's not the case, the grandmasters keeps winning people's heart more than new projects

ETH is hanging tight for death and different altcoins will have its spot, yet I generally realized that ETH is the ruler that won't escape its place. Ethereum still the first so there's no contest about it. what's more, obviously the execution of the impending Ethereum 2.0 update especially the Serenity redesign which is occurring toward the beginning of June 2020 one month from now.

I think this technology is also a consideration but Bitcoin and ethereum are already known by investors so they are more trusted. In my opinion, investors will not speculate on new technologies that are still in low demand, while ethereum is used by almost all projects in cryptocurrency

Ethereum 2.0 update is going to be the key for hype during next days for ethereum. I agree that ethereum is still the king of all altcoins and when bull comes ethereum will be the one that reacts first. The other alts will follow etheruem.

There are several thousand coins / tokens in cryptocurrency.  They have been divided into two parts.
 1.BTC
 2.altcoin, ETH is the king of altcoin, because most of the coins / tokens depend on the Etherium blockchain.

Indeed, Ethereum has always been the king of altcoins, because Ethereum has always been in the second position,
we know that Ethereum's tight competitor is Ripple, but now Ripple is very weak to be in second place,
moreover Ethereum will undergo an upgrade to 2.0, this will be even more interesting.

The truth of the matter is that this isn't only an altcoin, it is an entire biological system that has been demonstrating its prosperity for a long time and positively affects the advancement of the crypto circle. Ethereum still the first so there's no debate about it. what's more, obviously the execution of the impending Ethereum 2.0 update especially the Serenity redesign.

There is no doubt that Ethereum is still king of the altcoins. For many years many developments have happened that would strengthen the the altcoin and would achieve dominance among them and second to the King of crypto, Bitcoin. With Ethereum 2.0, this will cement further being a leader and a coin that is still trusted by many, many people. If there were attempts by other coins to develop and become a leader in its own right, then nothing has achieved yet what ETH has achieved. And it will stay dominant for many years to come.

here we go. i was not expecting that much fast. ethereum 2.0 announced and altcoins started to raise and follow ethereum. And ironically bitcoin also followed ethereum this time  ;D

I am sure many of you will agree that Ethereum will continue to be the king of altcoin because it has a high market cap after bitcoin. But there are other reason that can prove Ethereum will always be ahead of other altcoin and this is exactly what I mean.

Ethereum is still the first so there's no doubt about it, The performance of Ethereum over the last 90 days has been considerably better and am so sure and certain about ETH being still king of the altcoins.

Yes, ETH is a time-tested cryptocurrency. Investors need reliability, and new projects are like hype. Therefore, the price of ETH will only rise in the near future. This is a very profitable investment.

With many projects using the Ethereum blockchain making Ethereum in very high demand, DeFi projects are currently hype this year,
a lot of using the Ethereum network must indirectly push the Ethereum price up. So the current Ethereum price has gone up to $ 448
which doesn't surprise me. With the immense influence of Ethereum, of course makes Ethereum better than the other altcoins. And
until now Ethereum is still the king of altcoins.

Eth is indeed the top altcoin and establish next to bitcoin.

It is the second valuable crypto because of its uses and platform.

Thats why eth is a good investment and there's more to look forward.

Ethereum has dominated the altcoin market since its emergence because of its practical use cases, tokenization, smart contracts and dapps there is still no match for ethereum, we can call it the darling of the market as every individual to every institution wants to use ethereum network for all their needs.

BNB is good but when it comes to the king of altcoins, ethereim will not be dethroned. Ethereum has good update regarding to the transaction fees. The eth 2.0 which everyone seems to wait for a long time pushed price upward. No wonder how ethereum wants to place next in bitcoin and remain to its position. We might expect a comeback ATH price in ethereum because of the recent updates.

Yeah, Ethereum has maintained its position. BNB has focused only on Binance which is a good use case, but Ethereum spans its application to a different field. With the launching of Ethereum 2.0, with more features, I think it's more scalable too, For Ethereum, there are a lot of possibilities and opportunities too.

Ethereum is steady now, it's going to $500 again, hopefully it will break that price.

However, we can't guarantee that it will remained the king of altcoins because if we still remember, it was dethroned by XRP for a while last 2018, but looking at the race now and compare both, Ethereum is already far ahead.

Compare also the price of ETH and BCH, there's a big disparity, it seems like BCH was really undervalued at the moment and beaten by ETH in terms of price, their respective ATH was not close so ETH clearly wins the race here.

ETH has always occupied at least 30% of my entire portfolio come thick or thin. This reduces the risk of losing all my portfolio to scam altcoin projects, since BTC actually takes at least 50% always. However, this doesn't condemn other altcoin holders, it's always good to hold coins belonging to projects you believe in long term. The major reason why I think ETH will do excessively well in the long run is because many projects depend on ETH blockchain and the team keeps building. I've lost count of DAPPS built on ETH.

The popularity of usage is really not questionable here. Even if at some point, the gas fees are higher, still, people are using this network. Why? Because they are already established in crypto. Though others are trying to address the high fees but they failed to get good number of followers. Also, I think, a lot believes with Buterin's capability. He will not let his platform die for nothing.

Until now I don't see any potential coin can beat Ethereum as king of the altcoin. We know since 2017 which many new projects released, almost all of them using Ethereum blockchain, because Ethereum is the king and the most potential if compare to another altcoin. With new technology Ethereum 2.0 will make Ethereum stronger and cant be deposed

Even the known exchange token BNB came from Ethereum until they've finally made their own chain and run their token.

There's no competition for Ethereum if it's the throne for being the top of the altcoins. We can also think that there's no 2.0 before but there's an overwhelming use for its smart contract.

Well see more after the 2.0.

If your major holding is ETH and Bitcoin then you made the best investment in the cryptocurrency space, there are many projects in the market but how many meaningful projects can be successful in the long run is always a big question and we hardly see many projects that survived the long run and my theory will always be get in and get out safely rather than holding them for a long period.

Almost every cryptocurrency hodlers portfolio will be having bitcoin and ethereum in large percentage compared to the rest of the cryptocurrencies. This is all because of its growth and the real-time usage. When something has got the real circulation the volume automatically gets boosted and so is the growth.

Ethereum can be stated as the king of altcoins for various reasons, the volume of ethereum will stand against the rest of the entire altcoins. Ethereum served as the base platform for the development of majority of the altcoins available in the market. Right now everyone are keen on the next update which is predicted to make a big pumping in the market. Bitcoin is king of cryptocurrencies whereas ethereum stands next holding the entire altcoins under its control.

There aren't to be designated as true good crypto but yes eth is one of the best altcoins in the market. But we know that other altcoins are striving too to become better like XRP that has one time beating eth in terms of marketcap volume. There was a active pump and dump scheme with xrp same goes thing to bch. If you had witness those times then probably you can see that there are other crypto that are also worth it.

They have the rights to be where they are standing, they are the one that started it all and community respect the original just like Bitcoin started the Cryptocurrency revolution, Ethereum started the smart contract token creation thing and it fave the way for big and small companies and even individual to create their own token, but unfortunately for them, they will have a hard time taking over Bitcoin.

You are absolutely right. There are many competitors of Ethereum in the market who provide same services with less transaction fees. The transaction speed of Ethereum is also a question mark.

Ethereum has been the best altcoin for a long time, because eth is widely used as a platform for ico projects, and because of the strength of the community and its popularity, I think eth will remain the best altcoin.

Why is Ethereum transaction speed a question mark? isn't it that almost everyone who is in crypto has used Ethereum transactions, even though the speed is still a little less compared to others, but so far not many have questioned this, except for the gwei problem on the Ethereum platform.

You have to be patient to wait for the release of ETH 2.0, because the developers are really working on it in great detail so that ETH 2.0 can really be ready for release, and what you think is clearly very true because until now Ethereum is still in the works. rank second in the two sites that you mentioned and no other token has been able to move up to that rank at this time.

The speed is always in question, that's investors are looking to see an upgrade of ETH, which was the ETH 2.0.

Bitcoin is the most popular crypto assets, and yet people are still questioning its speed especially during the time when the network is congested and that happens when the market is bullish ,same with ETH, it was more demand now so network congestion is expected.

ETH is hanging tight for death and different altcoins will have its spot, yet I generally realized that ETH is the lord that won't escape its place. For what reason am I so certain about ETH? The truth of the matter is that this isn't only an altcoin. Ethereum 2.0 update especially the Serenity overhaul which is occurring toward the beginning of June 2020 one month from now.

Well, yes in terms of marketcap then among altcoins eth is number 1 altcoins but still to all cryptocurrency eth is next to bitcoin. No crypto could beat bitcoin in terms of market cap for now.

Eth maybe good but I also remember that XRP had been doing good as well that even surpassing the market cap of eth before. You see every crypto is special and only things that these crypto are created because every crypto has different use and aspect. Just take example  of the stable crypto like USDT. This is one also of the best crypto in crypto market.

Ethereum blockchain is the best among other alt-coin, that can be accommodated to other alt-coin in cryptocurrency industries, which many projects prefer using ERC -20 Wallet for they're project, which has been simply know that ethereum is unique and has potential in future usage.

Ethereum is an old coin from 2013 whose existence is excellent and always makes changes to keep it afloat and maintain its popularity.
This is also the result of thoughts that are not easy for a Vitalik Buterin. So until now, ethereum has always remained an altcoin that always maintains the top position.
Soon, Ethereum will announce ethereum 2.0 to the public. This shows that ethereum is a good coin to invest in.

ETH is not perfect, but I think it will be very difficult to compete with it and even more so to surpass other projects. It appeared at the right time, and now it is one of the strongest projects on the market, although such moments as the increase in the cost of gas in recent years, say that everything is not so good.

Ethereum is indisputable and cannot be replaced from its position as 'king of the Altcoins'...
EOS, BNB, and other tokens are often referred to as 'ethereum killers' but in fact, it's all just fantasy. ethereum will be more perfect when eth 2.0 slides, if that happens there is a big possibility that the price of Ethereum will go up.

for now its hard to find an altcoins that bigger and better than ethereum, even Binance coin or tron can beat the dominance of ethereum in altcoins world
so, i agree with you if ethereum will always be the king of altcoins

Definitely this fantasy could become real if Ethereum couldn't launch Ethereum 2.0. Only in 3 years did we face 2 times problem on Ethereum transaction cost. These types of blockchain must be the main target is transaction speed and cost. The Tron blockchain is still faster than the first Ethereum. Overall I will support the OP comment that Ethereum remains the King.

So true. Recently the raise of ether is also impresive.though expectation was bigger but people who hodl ether, can atleast celebrate the recent pump of it.  Although many coins are available in Crypto industry but eth already proven its potentiality and will going to proof again after the version 2.0. Cause now people are troubling with high gas problem.it would be solve then.

Ethereum is still the best still at the top still growing still popular, yes but solution to scalability issues is a must to sustain at the top because with increasing use it is important to keep transaction costs cheap and fast at the same time so all eyes are on eth 2.0 launch lets see how far eth can manage these issues after eth 2.0.

What to expect for the future of eth?
I think with eth 2.0, faster and cheaper transactions, pos algorithm, more scalability and adoptibility for dapps, defi, securities and automation i expect eth dominance to grow even more and also the value.

The timing of ETH release was perfect, in the beginning it was supposed to get incorporated in bitcoin but we know it is not that easy to get any proposal getting passed easily and they went as an independent project and it changed the market altogether and anyone who invested during the initial period made a lot of money along with the miners who helped with the project. Hopefully the ETH 2.0 will change the issues the project is facing but i am not happy with the change to POS.

If you forgot to mention or have not come to your attention,Ethereum has been defeated by BitcoinCash several times  before,
though that is an obvious attack.

you will realize these word once the other pump and dump coins take the position again towards Ethereum
As bitcoin cash I believe stopped the dream of making it number one position because Bitcoin will always remain
as rank 1 coins for long time now.


there are only few that still holds ethereum like me since the price fell down to below $100 and now i am the one who is celebrating
and waiting for the 4 digits or more price sooner..

It is the same as bitcoin, whether the fees will rise, nobody can stop their dominations. Eth for altcoins and bitcoin for the crypto market.
BNB is what others can see to be the next one because of its various developments. But we can admit it that they are still far from that considering that ETH don't have its own exchange but it has built the idea of dex.

Yes, this could become absolute domination if they could actually solve the current issue, especially the crazy gas fees. ethereum will be invincible as long as they meet the market's needs and also solve all their issues

I am expecting that as the eth 2.0 releases and market goes completely north the overall dominancy of eth in the market will further increase and it can reach as high as 30 to 35 percent which may also mean that eth value against btc will increase significantly.

Well, everything is obvious here. When a particular cryptocurrency has success, everyone tries to repeat it, or at least declare it. Another question is if there is a real possibility of achieving the goal in these statements and desires, this plays a big role. To understand this, you need to understand what this or that cryptocurrency means and why it was created. I don't think BTC was created so that everyone could create their own BTC, the same goes for ETH. You write about BNB, but BNB has a completely different purpose and is in no way similar to ETH. Of course, you can believe in a miracle, but as we know, miracles do not happen in reality. If you want to see another cryptocurrency as successful as BTC or ETH, then come up with something new and more in demand.

I totally agree with what you are talking about, ETH is truly really the king of altcoins, but i don not think  ETH would rest content with No.2 in the cryptocurrency. A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, maybe someday ETH could take over BTC, become the king in the cryptocurrency.

ETH is increasing in price according to Bitcoin. Although the price of ETH is slow, I believe it is sustainable. The current 532 price level is very impressive compared to the time of 2018. ETH could be the king of the Altcoins in the near term. If Bitcoin continues to rise in price.

Obviously, and everyone who already knows this is also waiting for the release of ETH 2.0, because now the moment is in good shape so it will feel special for ETH when the launch can be a good influence for themselves and others too.

Since I start doing cryptocurrency, ethereum is still one of the best altcoin we ever have in the league. And it is still growing I don’t know what in Eth 2.0 and I think it’s good to hear that there’s another Eth.

Yes it is and I think it will for a very long time. From the early days ethereum start to hold a good position in the market. And after that it holds the second position with a big marketcap. After taht it never lose its position. In the the market there are lots of competition and some of them are technically better than ethereum. But still people like ethereum. And they hold it. People definitely like ethereum. So in my opinion it will be the king of all alts.

We cannot expect too much with ethereum 2.0 because the problems that exist in ethereum at this time are also many who complain, especially for gas fees, which are still too high, because most of the transactions are small investors, which is clearly very influential. Although it has improved, it is still far from the start that Ethereum used to do. We must admit that ethereum is very much used as a benchmark for growth for all altcoins, which indicates that ethereum is in great demand but still will remain below bitcoin and that's natural,

Crypto is not the same as real life, when you say ETH will not be satisfied with second place at the moment and want to take over BTC, do you think that BTC will stand still? and what you have to remember is that BTC is the first coin that was born and is in crypto, so he will always be the king of all Altcoins.

In my opinion ethereum has consistently been my smartest option with regards to cryptocurrency investment.

I'm positive that ethereum will continue to be the bedrock of the cryptocurrency space because with each new type of project being developed, the highest percentage of them still utilize  the ethereum blockchain in their development.

Ethereum remains the king of altcoins.

Ethereum is undoubtedly the best altcoin of all time, haven't seen any altcoin that would take Ethereum’s place at the top, despite so many replica projects coming out everyday and challenging Ethereum, it still remain s the king of all altcoins, nothing beats Ethereum, it just keep bossing it, and apart from bnb, the project influence I feel can  affect Ethereum dominance is Polkadot, have really heard alot about it, it's seems promising though, but not sure it can still overtake ETH at the top.

network scalability will be main concern in ethereum 2.0 maybe, there will alot improvement feature included about transaction gas fee which is be main problem for ethereum network user. but let core developers launched it first before we critics what the thing that we dont know.

it will be king of altcoin as long as platfrom used by many project, and now with new version of ethereum competitors will feel difficult to beat it.

I am also positive with ETH, projects continues to build on ETH platform so there's direction ETH is going but up. There's a lot of good news ahead and it's normal to see people investing on ETH already, and especially in the bullish moments, that gives an additional confidence for them to buy and hold ETH.

Big changes is about to come, improvement on the network and certainly for price as well.


PROVEN already.

Ethereum has improved a lot in the last few days and I feel like that means Ethereum is also improving with things at stake, people are looking at it. and I think most investors who have a lot of money, they have already pocketed a lot of ETH & BTC to prepare for the end of this year.

Given its current position, ETH will always be the king of all altcoins, in the future I think it will be difficult for any platform to surpass ETH.

Very true, at least 70% of new projects utilizes Ethereum blockchain, especially DEFI project due to its smart contract feature and ease of creating tokens on top of ETH blockchain, mainly ERC20 and ERC721. When it comes to DEFI projects and NFTs, they heavily rely on ETHEREUM blockchain, hence its essence. I think ETH is a very good coin to hold long term and as OP wrote, it's King of altcoins. Uniswap for instance which is the biggest DEX presently is hinged on ETHEREUM.

slowly but surely ethereum shows its capacity as the best alt coin. Ethereum fans and users have gone global because it has been widely used in almost all crypto projects. Now is the time to enjoy the results of saving ethereum.

Ethereum holds its position in top 2 and title King of Altcoins since its release. Overcoming hardships that comes specially when forsage emerge and DeFi projects its still hanging on and now it is mooning following bitcoin's step. It will surely be king of altcoins for the long years to come and maybe surpass bitcoin in the process. Nothing is impossible in crypto.

True, nothing is impossible in crypto. but you should also know that almost all crypto space is the result of the influence of bitcoin. Bitcoin has such a huge influence that bullruns and trends are determined by the movement of bitcoin

In some of the research that I made what is convincing aspect of Ethereum is its tokenization feature. It was predicted before that each country worldwide will use blockchain technology up to 10% of its GDP in the next few years. Tokenization is a contributing factor to the rise of Ethereum.

Moreover in one of the articles that I have read tokenization looks like these examples:

Tokenization of artworks. You will be able to own digital art as well as pieces of famous art with tokenization.
Tokenization of Mortgages. You’ll be able to own pieces of the Penthouse Suite of a hot new condo complex in Tokyo -- and earn from its rental.
Birth certificates, health care records, drivers licenses, and other important documents. These can be stored and secured on the Ethereum blockchain using tokenization. You’ll be able to prove your identity -- not by showing these pieces of paper -- but by showing they belong to you via the Ethereum blockchain.
Trade agreements, energy sharing, and other types of P2P transactions. Person-to-person business transactions will be more secure, efficient and official using the Ethereum blockchain.
Voting. No more “hanging chads” or other types of voting errors. Each person will have one vote on a blockchain -- and that’s it.
A few years ago, as I was wondering whether or not I should invest in Ethereum, the concept of tokenization and all its use cases for Ethereum made my mind clear like water: Ethereum is the future, and there are myriad reasons why Ethereum is valuable.

Yes you are right. Ethereum the king of altcoins. ETH 2.0 news ETH price has been rising steadily since then. And if Bitcoin moves a little, ETH also moves immediately. However, I do not think that any fomo coin should be invested. But ETH must be believed.

I'm a cryptocurrency lover,
 Welcome to the world of cryptocurrency.
 I have been associated with cryptocurrency for almost three years.
 I know fairly well about cryptocurrency.
 There are many altcoins but Ethereum is always the king of altcoins,
 Because most coins or tokens are made in Etherium blockchain.

I don't think that in the near future there will be such a token that will be the king of all altcoins. Ether is already very firmly entrenched in the top2 cryptocurrencies, and after the release of 2.0, its influence will become even stronger.

Ethereum is getting stronger as the king of altcoins after hitting a price of $ 592. After many years the price of ETH on the market has remained stable.  Moreover, Ethereum 2.0 will be launched soon, The Ethereum development team is currently working on significant improvements.  The new version of Ethereum is supported by the Staking feature which allows ETH holders to get huge rewards.  after Ethereum 2.0 was launched, ETH users will continue to increase, and it will be more and more difficult for other coins to overtake ETH as the king of altcoins.

Everyday ethereum seems to keep going better and better how much the progress it will have once the ethereum 2.0 has already been implemented. That is what everyone has been anticipating, and might be the reason why ethereum now have gone up to almost $600 in value.

I am very surprised with the growth of Ethereum at this time, growing better every day even every week it shows its strength in Crypto currencies, it is very appropriate if Ethereum is given the title as the king of Altcoins and that is undeniable, even the growth is very good like bitcoin deserves if Ethereum is made the queen of Crytpocurrecy because it has the power like Bitcoin ..

it is natural to see the current development of bitcoin prices. In fact, I think that the current Ethereum price development is still slower than in 2017. However, Ethereum's development is still better than other altcoins. this has earned it a position as the best altcoin. I myself think like that, which is why I am still holding onto Ethereum to this day.

If Bitcoin is the king then no doubt Ethereum is the queen in crypto world.

I am holding ETH as much as I can before launching v2 of Ethereum because It's sure it will skyrocket and boom the alt market soon or later. Make sure you too hold before the trains leave you. We are still early.

And that is practically the reason why I only lock up my investment on Bitcoin and Ethereum. It is indeed the king of altcoins and receiving the 2nd position behind Bitcoin. It will become even stronger as soon as ETH 2.0 release. Though it is slightly far for it to reach its new ATH unlike Bitcoin performing now, I believe that soon or later as the Altcoins season enters it will perform just like Bitcoin reaching its new ATH. By the way, I've also been watching BNB this time in fact this is my 3rd option coin among all coins because it really performs well in the market.

I also think that ethereum is the king of altcoins in this market, ethereum has long been in the top ranking in the crypto market especially being able to stay in 2nd place in the CMC market, on the other hand the current Ethereum price has also been significantly in the range of $ 580 - $ 590. this is really beyond my expectations.

some altcoins are indeed on the Ethereum platform, therefore Ethereum is called the king of altcoins,
it doesn't mean that the price of Ethereum goes up and Ethereum is in second place, that's the wrong thing,
Ethereum deserves to be there more than any other blockchain platform.

The growth in ethereum seems to be related closely to bitcoins in my opinion. The general sentiment for crypto currencies is very positive this year. For both coins it was a great year. Bitcoins is usually the starting coin for most investors. But once we get familiar with other coins we should look to diversify our crypto portfolio. I like ETH a lot and would recommend any investor to include it in his portfolio.

I have my favorite altcoin though it is a pump and dump coin but for me it is one of the coin in the crypto market which is the XRP. I do not know if you too had experience seeing the XRP market goes next to bitcoin surpassing the eth marketcao volume on late 2018 and first quarter of 2019. It was a close call though between the two altcoina but if you are trader then XRP us better than ETH. I have so much hopes in XRP compared to ETH when making a Day Trade.

I always believe to the ethereum that it will remain as the king of all altcoins, it prove a lot now and the last previous years that it is king of the altcoins. I believe someday it can defeat the bitcoin someday and become king of all crypto coins who is the most powerful coins.
Ethereum price is expecting this year or next year to be reach the highest value of it and that is 1k dollars.

the month were this thread posted is june but that time eth was weaker than what it have now . the title and the contents of this thread will perfectly fit on the this day because eth was at its new price hiked and it still wont stop . i can sense it that eth can reach 1k usd before we end this year .

bnb and okb the coins that compared on eth on this thread are now gone and seem to be out of the competition because i havent heard any big news on them 

At that time I thought it was because the market was still immature. But now it's different, investors are able to distinguish centralization and decentralization clearly and maybe in the case of XRP beating Ethereum it will never be repeated.

I also believe that Ethereum is the king of altcoin. Ever since I learned about cryptocurrency, I have seen that Ethereum is in the second position in the list of CMC and CoinGecko. The position of other coins is changing but the position of Ethereum remains unchanged.  Some coins are coming and becoming popular for some time then people's interest is decreasing.  But Ethereum's popularity is growing. I think Ethereum 2.0 will actually increase its popularity and value in coming December.

I agree but many will be able to compete with Ethereum, for example, there is Polkadot (DOT), Chainlink (Link) and Binance Coin (BNB), the potential for this coin is not inferior to Ethereum

Ethereum is the king of the erc20 tokens, not the king of all altcoins I think, although it is true that currently ethereum is still superior to other altcoins but they are on different paths. And it is not impossible that one day Ethereum's competitors will succeed in beating Ethereum in the market.

its true, Ethereum now has stronger fundamentals than yesterday,
if Ethereum 2.0 is launched, then the new feature, namely staking makes Ethereum's price stable,
this is the same as waves and ontology, this project have staking feature and look that coin have a good demand in the market.

I want to believe Ethereum has a lot of factors to stay relevant in this market for a long time, he got the competitors that cant beat him from the top 2 at the moment, my only challenge is the infinity number of coin to mine. After this market cycle few new coins will role to support a big part of the space, holding large amount of money all through the bear market and survive it. It will produce a strong community and attract new insights and traders. It will be the focus to lead the market with Ethereum and bitcoin.

Ethereum has a very solid community, it's clear they are the superior altcoins.
Ethereum 2.0 is in sight, this will clearly strengthen their position as the king of altcoins, we can see a positive movement of eth prices in the market today.

Many investors still have good speculative when ethereum will upgrade to be 2.0 on December and make many investor interested buy and invest with ethereum right now and hold until December when upgrade launch, will have positive news for ethereum back to higher price above 1,5k$ or ethereum just get touch for to make investor panic to buy right now and give opportunity for developer to seel ethereum on higher price, we can trust more than 100% with developer because they always looking for thousand way how to make investor trusted with their ideas and the end always give investor loss much money.

There are several potentially good coins that can compete with Ethereum, like XRP, BNB, LTC, ZEC etc, but until now they have not been able to overtake Ethereum as the king of altcoins. Especially after Ethereum 2.0 was launched, reportedly the new version of Ethereum is supported by staking which makes the Ethereum price stable. That way will make Ethereum even stronger as the king of altcoins.

One way or another, the scalability problem needs to be addressed and the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade will partially solve this problem. Perhaps after the update, DeFi projects will again start to hinder the work of the Ethereum network, but I really hope that this will not happen. At least in the last 24 hours, Ethereum has already reached $ 600, although it has dropped a little after that. But we are already close to the maximum peak, which will surpass the indicators of the beginning of 2018.

Ethereum has always been the king of altcoins,
if Ethereum increases this is good for Altcoin, because all altcoins will follow suit to Ethereum,
even though many altcoins are late pumping it is fine.

yes, even until the end of the world, ethereum will remain the king of altcoins, version 2.0 is in sight and this will make ethereum even stronger

Try to look the current chart of the Ethereum, you will see that the price has now straight 4 days momentum where the RSI is now indicating overbought. I actually did not expect that the ETH will achieve $600 in this early time, I thought that it will achieve $600 in the 1st week of December. I know my prediction is wrong but the good thing is the volume of the ETH is keep increasing.

As for my own analysis, it seems that ETH is staying King of the alts but there is a coin that is competing the throne and it is the XRP where it has a sudden pump last 2 days ago where it considered as good. But the thing is the ETH has still the highest market capitalization in all of altcoins. As for my prediction, I'm expecting that the ETH will reach the $800 before the December ends, the market is currently doing good and for me it is better if we will now make strategies to not miss a lot of opportunities.

he was last active at september and we dont know what happen to him but if he is still fine he probably check the charts and feel proud because it shows that eth is really a king and he knows what he is talking .

we got same feels in the price mate because i never thought the price will break at this point .

 that only shows that we didnt trust eth more than what the op trust the coin hehe  . all the time i thought that eth are going to be stuck at 300 and 400 dollar range .

How do you determine who is the king? What about Ripple? Take a look on Ripple "jump". If he adds $150+ million US dollar volume, it will drop Ethereum to third place on coinmarketcap.

Or you determine the kind simply by popularity? Then yes, Ethereum is the most popular and recognizable altcoin. But, if we compare speed, then Tron is the King of Kings and also the cheapest one.

Absolutely right, Ethereum is the second largest marketcap in crypto sphere next to Bitcoin. Ethereum is consider the Queen due to massive demands and large community of investors and also it is popular ERC20 platform. Very possible to see new All Time High when the bull run happen soon. By the way the ETH2.0 could change the flow of demands and value.

Yes. Ethereum has indeed become the king of altcoins, and the king of smart contracts. In this year many new projects with high prices came from the Ethereum smart contract. DeFi was the most influential part of the year, despite many claiming the DeFi system was a failure. No project can hit the moon in an instant, but DeFi does.

If ethereum 2.0 is successfully launched in December 2020 this will certainly further confirm that Ethereum is a crypto that is more advanced than other altcoins available, especially now that it has introduced the ETH 2.0 standard, which allows for greater compatibility between multiple currencies, and also becomes a scaling solution that greatly increases the number of transactions per second of course. It will also move the blockchain to a different consensus algorithm, so that Ethereum will remain a more secure and stable platform in the crypto world.

Now many analysts are paying more and more attention to the Etherem! And they predict the best rates of ETH at the end of the year. I think it is nice coin to invest! Best one!

Such things are commonplace. If you look at it, maybe ethereum will reach that level but not this year, more precisely it will happen next year. The good news is sticking out so I don't hesitate to invest in ethereum.

It is true that ethereum was the one who is actually reigning in terms of volume and the price in the market and it has a good platform making it famous and well known in terms of investment, we cannot say that it is the king of altcoins since there are lots of altcoins that also have good volume and has a cheaper value in the market, saying it a king because it has second-highest value in the market is okay. We should wait for what will happen if ETH 2.0 is launched this December. It is not a good idea to invest right now since the price is already on the top, it's too risky.

binance coin or okb will never reduce the dominance of ethereum in altcoins world i'm sure about that
because ethereum community is the second largest community in this crypto space after bitcoin

No one can dispute that especially the age and performance but there some altcoins that are of higher rate than Ethereum. When it comes to pupularity and trust, Ethereum anyways beat others. It's under the king of all altcoins. Let's anticipate more growth with this news launch.

Still the fees are still high

By means of popularity yes Ethereum was more known altcoins than XRP but lets take a look at the crypto value graph of XRP it was amazingly unpredicatable because of its continuous price pumped. There has a lot of altcoins which has a good potential for investment. I don't want to be hypocrite with it, but i am truly a fan of Ethereum but of course i did't disregard the huge potential of other altcoins like Tron, Ripple and Binance.

Better believe it is of a fact that ethereum has been overwhelming the altcoin market for quite a while, yet I could recollect here and there that Ripple has likewise attempted to surpass ethereum, in spite of the fact that this wasn't kept going over couple of hours. There are likewise different altcoins that are progressing nicely, for instance Stellar. Ethereum needs to keeping developing/improving, otherwise it is only a matter of time before it is overthrown.

i just saw Dec 1. to be exact.

Yes ethereum remains the king of altcoins and it will never be replaced at this moment because of its rising price and  ethereum is the  top of altcoins since the day one,but invest in other altcoins also because it can also give profits.

I can't understand the meaning of your comment. Can you please clear it? Although many new altcoins have entered the market, but still Ethereum is the king of altcoins. And December 1st ETH 2.0 will launch to keep this position of Ethereum. I think the price of ETH will go up after launching of ETH 2.0 and its position in the Altcoin market will be more mature.

Among all the altcoins Ethereum must remain at the top of the hierarchy but will never cross the Bitcoin price level and the market cap. Currently, Ethereum still facing sluggishness because of uncertainty for the crypto market. Once again the price has rebound back from the price level of $612 and remained down at $500.

Because most major trends in the crypto market have to rely on the Ethereum blockchain. From ICO to Defi, NFT, most of them are tokens and projects launched on this blockchain. With such a large number of projects, ETH will remain the top 1 altcoin for a long time.

No doubt Ethereum has become of the best  and leading altcoins second to Bitcoin over the years. Ethereum has become the mother of all other altcoins based on eth blockchain technology. If you are looking for any good coin to invest in, I would advise you to look into ethereum. You will definitely make a good cash from it in no time.
With more than two years experience in trading altcoins I will definitely tell you I love trading this particular coin. I have made quite a lot from it. Not just because it's the first altcoins that I know but also the dependability of it.

Ethereum is still improving in the exchange market which many investors are rating Ethereum as the best among litecoin and BNB which many investors are seriously worry about, how's your Ethereum is now next to bitcoin in terms of steady pumping in the market that make so many business men to change their Investment with Ethereum since the price is about to improve to collapse other cryptocurrencies for the investors to rate Ethereum the best among other cryptocurrencies.

In fact, not all dApp projects have been launched on the Ethereum blockchain. If I'm not mistaken, then the closest competitor in terms of the number of DAP projects launched is the Tron blockchain.
Nevertheless, he cannot beat the beloved Ethereum in popularity, just as Justin Sun does not try for this.

Indeed Ethereum is the king of all other altcoins, the price alue it reached as of 2017 is remarkable, the Ethereum blockchain is like the breeding ground for most new projects, countless projects are running on the Ethereum blockchain, although lately alot of people have started doubting eth, they said Polkadot is better and indeed it is better, but we can't take anything away from Ethereum it has been the face of all altcoins for the past few years now, besides the ETH 2.0 will soon be launched, I'm hoping its going to solve the current problems facing the Ethereum blockchain.

It serve as a base for majority of the projects that has tokenised their services. When more and more things get connected to a platform, it gets affected. However we update there'll be issues. One that overcome will be more powerful in the market. One such is the ethereum, the updation is continuing. More other Blockchain with better features were developed, but everyone find something big within the ERC20 platform. This keeps everyone active on the platform and serve as the King of altcoins.

Ethereum remains the king of altcoins, but how long this would continue? no one knows for a certainty.
The dominance of Ethereum has lasted long. Though Ripple tried ones to take the lead, but the lead was short lived.
As long as Ethereum keeps being innovative, it remains the undisputed king of altcoins.

We do know that Ethereum is still the best to be the king of altcoins and that cannot be denied, it is true that many companies are still using Ethereum-based blockchain, which is why Ethereum is still strong today in all major markets, but BnB / (Binance ) which we know also have the same system as Ethereum, many big companies that use the BnB Blockchain base, Binance also has the number one exchange in the world, and it seems that Ethereum or Binance has the same power, it could be that in the future Binance will replace Ethereum , Nothing is impossible..

I am a fan and user of ethereum. although it is stored for a long time and the price fluctuates. because ethereum itself has been used in various alt coin projects that require ethereum gas fees. Hopefully ethereum achieves maximum price.

Ethereum and Ripple have very different functions, both of which are quite good for investing but you should know why ethereum is the most important in altcoin because they have many users, besides that ethereum is also one of the top coins with a good use cases. so I don't think there is any reason to compare ethereum with ripple

Both Ripple and Ethereum are cryptocurrencies that run on blockchain technology. This allows people from any location in the world to send and receive funds in seconds. Both blockchains have their unique digital coins, which you can buy and sell in many cryptocurrencies, but of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to these two altcoins, such as the shortage of eth, which currently lies in the cost of gas which is quite expensive and has advantages. eth has a large community, and market capitalization that allows eth to continue to grow in the future, while XRP has disadvantages regarding its relatively cheap price, and it is difficult to experience price increases over the past 3 years (despite the recent surge in XRP prices) XRP, of course, we all know that XRP has the speed of making every transaction that exists and compared to other altcoins XRP is the fastest in making transactions.

Even for many years that ethereum holds as the king of altcoins I can say then if ever there is a altcoins that can out rank ethereum that is I think ripple. I have seen this happen about a year ago wherein ripple seated as the top 2 in marketplace and out-shine the ethereum so this alt has a very high potential.

Ethereum was the number two coin in the cryptocurrency world,but now to much interesting projects on the cryptocurrency market,They look like same positions.so eth strong project and position is second to many user but not king.

Even though its position is ranked second as the most popular cryptocurrency, of course this is not a factor that ethereum will be rivaled  with other altcoins, as far as I remember in 2018, only riplle was the only altcoin that was able to shift ethereum's position in second crypto after bitcoin, but at that time it was only riplle while only occupying the second position after then ethereum managed to regain its position until now, in general bitcoin is the king of all existing cryptos, but in particular, of course, the king of altcoin is ethereum which currently has a very large market capitalization and even its current position it will be very difficult to replace by other altcoins.

Without doubt ethereum is one of the best thing to have happened to cryptocurrency outside bitcoin. The use case is superb. I would say Defi is part of the overall activities leading to this year's bull run with Uniswap been the home of the good, bad and ugly all running on the ethereum layer. Even binance of recent took a snap shot of ethereum network giving birth to Smartchain.

This is and this is what supposed to be,very honestly.Ethereum is ruling the crypto society as well as bitcoin and also creatingt more hype everyday than the previous days. So, Undoubtedly,ETHereum is one of the thousands and it has all positive qualities

why is Ethereum the king of altcoins? because the team makes sure everything is unique and therefore will be difficult to replicate. Also, with its efficient and friendly blockchain service, Ethereum is the most valuable altcoin in crypto because there are many platforms that use the ethereum blockchain. on the one hand has a reliable team and strong community.

Ethereum is known to be more advanced than Bitcoin, but the original, and prime always get the top spot.
Everyone who enter crypto space get to know Bitcoin first. I still even remember being a year late in finsding out about Ethereum.

I am a cryptocurrency trader,
I earn income by trading in cryptocurrency.
Also I have been associated with cryptocurrency for about three years.
So I can personally say Ethereum remains the king of altcoins no doubt about it.

Yes and it was for long time and it will be in future. Among all the chains ethereum is the most popular and most used platform based token available. And ethereum has a huge marketcap. The fees of ethereum is higher than many chance and sometimes it's hard to pay cause it's too high. People and devs love ethereum. So devs prefer to launch their apps in eth blockchain. And people  also like ethereum. That's why it's so popular. So I think it will be top of every altcoin for now and for future.

Obviously, the king of altcoins will be ETH. Many projects have been born with the goal of replacing Ethereum in this space. With the current position in the market, it is very difficult to find a worthy opponent for ETH, i also believe that in the coming time, before the new updates Ethereum will confirm its position in the altcoin.

Yeah, and IMO Ethereum not sexy anymore since the blockchain already crowded and pricefull for the gas. I hope ETH 2.0 will make it better soon. So Ethereum can stay in the competition

ethereum 2.0 has had a good impact on ethereum because its main platform was developed so that transactions can be faster and of course transaction costs can be cheaper, but the problem is that investors who have participated in ethereum 2.0 have so far not made a profit and have disappointed investors.

Presently, eth is the father of all Altcoins, but until when will ETH take the lead? ETH no doubt has done a good job by providing a level ground for other ground to establish themselves via the eth blockchain technology. But if care is not taking. This will definitely become story in the comy years as other altcoins are coming with new innovative everyday. Starting with the TRC-20 blockchain. This has gained so much ground, and we now have hundreds bon altcoins capitalizing on it. ETH with their high transaction fee, could make people and investors look where.

Yes ofcourse it's has strong potentials to get attention from the public also I believe Eth2.0 will give a remuneration boost and attract more users to buy ethereum, Now there are several competitors in the market but still it has remained at the top in altcoins lists. There are more speculations on eth as the price may go to moon still it depends on the market 8)

there are many projects built on Ethereum so the name "king of altcoins" is fully deserved. other altcoins should go a long way to achieve the results that will will be similar to Ethereum.

The decentralized exchanges and the like of Uniswap really help ethereum gaining a lot of projects to make ERC20 token therefore if ETH collapse means those project collapsing also which not realistic at this point since many of them has huge market cap.

Ethereum is like having its own safety net by grabbing all these projects altogether bringing traffic to ETH network it's actually very resilient.

true, a lot of new tokens appear like examples of deFI tokens that are often rumored to fight ETH, but in fact they have not been able to match ETH this is probably because the popularity of ETH is very strong, and also the ETH platform is used for many transactions causing new tokens not yet able to compete with ETH.

I think that no one will ever beat or replace Ethereum, because Ethereum has been in that position (the king of altcoin) for a long time and that will be Ethereum position forever, so I believe it will be difficult for another altcoin to beat or replace Ethereum, although at that time Ripple had replaced Ethereum, but it only took a very short time for Ethereum to take its position again, because I think Ethereum is the king of altcoin forever (permanently).

Ethereum was being replaced by XRP in the past but as of this moment Ethereum was able to reclaim it's ranking so Ethereum should do their best to maintain their position the same to what is happening to bitcoin.

Bitcoin was a King and is still a King until now because no one was able to replace it's position even until now and if Ethereum can maintain their position even in the future then I can consider Ethereum as King of altcoins.

Yes, but that was in the past, now Ethereum seems to be dominating again with a marketcap of $68 billion while XRP is only $28 billion.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xrp/

The race is not even close now, so we can easily proclaim that ETH is the king, and even if we ask people they will believe in ETH than any other coins.

But if distinguishing those projects, there are likely a lot of bad projects too that can be thrown to it. But let's all agree that it's the king of altcoins and that cannot be changed in the meantime.
There are other projects that try to compete with Ethereum like Tron, BNB, Stellar and other projects too but the most chosen platform is Ethereum's smart contract.

Ethereum remains the king because most of the new tokens are getting listed in the ERC-20 platform. There are other platforms available and some of them are technologically superior to the ERC-20 Blockchain. But they have very low acceptance in the cryptocurrency market. It will take many years, before any of them become capable of offering competition to ERC-20.

Well this has actually reversed. Ethereum is now the long..Amy are anticipatingoew growth from Ethereum and some other cooks. Bmn ha been stagnant for couple of months which everyone expected it to moon like BTC and with did work XRP and some other coins...let's see if it will be the next moon.

Yes, you are right. Ethereum remains the king of altcoins. Etherum is called the mother of altcoin. If you pump bitcoin, other altcoin pumps may or may not, but ETH must pump. And eth's team member is always active. Works on how to take Eth to a higher level.

I have to admit what you are saying is the truth, only people who are not sure are still asking about ethereum, which is the belle of all altcoins, both emerging and entering the market. because ethereum has long been recognized as the benchmark of all new altcoin growth and has become an idol because it is a very lucrative investment besides bitcoin, of course.

Yes, and many people also like Ethereum tokens so that there are very many enthusiasts, despite the many new projects that use the Ethereum platform, so I think Ethereum is indeed very worthy of being called the king of altcoins.

till whenever ethereum still be king of platform , at this moment there is no platform provide easiness in creating smart contract like ethereum did. developers team more familiar with eth platfrom and they didnt want to spend more time just for creating token. if compared with other platform , actually there are alot competitors which is have same feature. but as pioneer in smartcontract creating, eth still the king.

The future is for Ethereum, which will soon throw off the champion Bitcoin. It is updated faster and is also used in smart contracts, which expands the possibility of using it beyond the cryptocurrency space!

Of course from the beginning eth has held its position high where it is being aspired as the second king. We know that btc as well as eth is one of the best currencies with lots of investors. In fact eth is now being used by many cryptocurrency companies, increasing the value and volume of representative by eth. There will be a surprise gift for eth investors in the future as well.

Ethereum is the second largest blockchain platform by market capitalization after bitcoin and is the best and more promising choice among other Altcoins, and besides that many traders believe Ethereum is a good investment compared to other cryptos.
So I think Ethereum will remain the king of Altcoins and will continue to be popular and the best among other altcoins, and only able to compete but not completely replace its position.

It's not that difficult as we have seen ETH dump in 2018 and XRP took its position, but ETH is a strong coin with big supporters so it was able to get back to the top as the best altcoins per list, and it's pretty evident in the list (https://coinmarketcap.com/) that it's marketcap was already far ahead than XRP.

I totally agree. Many developers are already familiar with Solidity and the whole ETH ecosystem. It would be VERY difficult for a new altcoin to surpass it.

Indeed Ethereum remains the king of altcoins even though it was previously ranked as the third largest cryptocurrency for several weeks after Ripple managed to move it from second place. But now, Ripple doesn't need to enjoy its title as the second largest cryptocurrency for long. Now this digital currency has to settle for ranking third behind Ethereum and Bitcoin, which are ranked first.

Obviously, it is very clear in this regard that Ethereum smart contracts are still so widely used by new project developers that this has made Ethereum always the king in Altcoin and the realm of most platform usage.

Eth is one of the most popular coin in altcoins.Eth is called the king of altcoin. Ethereum is the second largest blockchain platform by market capitalization after bitcoin and is the best and more promising choice among other Altcoins, and besides that many traders believe Ethereum is a good investment compared to other cryptos.It is more tradable coin in altcoins. So,eth is remains the king of altcoins.

for now, it still applies. Quite a few people think that there are some altcoins out there that can replace ethereum as the king of altcoins. however, since ethereum became king of altcoins, it hasn't been used as much as ethereum. I think these altcoins really need quality to replace Ethereum's position for now.

Still have you any doubt on that?
Ethereum is the king of altcoins and it is already proved. Ethereum is an stable position in the market and huge utility and demand creates itself as the king. Ethereum is working to give the better service continuously. The process is ongoing and we have already known about ETH 2. Eth network is also popular. It will be difficult to chase it

Yes, Ethereum is indeed the king of altcoins.  Even before and up to now Eth is still going strong. It's value is slowly getting back again.   And I believe that ethereum would be a good investment especially if you will consider long term investment.

As of the moment, while the bitcoin price in the market is increasing the gas fee of ETH so far was too expensive. but even is like that, still the Ethereum remain dominant where some of the cryptocurrency can't do it. But I could say that there are some of the altcoins out there were it could be next into ETH in which BNB in my own opinion.

Ethereum is the king of altcoins and it should be. Comparing with the other altcoins Ethereum is the most popular and people are comfortable with Ethereum.This is in the second  position of cryptocurrency so Ethereum is the king of altcoins.

Let's not undermine the flaws  the Ethereum ecosystem harbours, alot needs to be done by the developers on the Ethereum smart chain, we all had expected the launch of ETH 2.0 to make corrections but it is still at the early stage perhaps things could be corrected from Q1-4 of 2021. Ethereum truly remains the king of altcoins, LTC should be dragging the position with Ethereum any moment.

Yes, I'm sure that right now the ethereum developers are working hard on big cases. Could Litcoin be able to keep up with ethereum? I can't really see it to be honest, maybe NEO or Polkadot have the potential instead. but no doubt for the fast litecoin transaction speed

Agreed， ETH is the king of the altcoins now, but who could sure it still is it in the future, indeed BNB is a strong competitor, and it is very promising, besides, there are other competitors, like EOS,DOT,etc.

Of course Ethereum king of altcoins,
Ethereum has always been number two since I've been associated with cryptocurrencies.
Also many tokens of cryptocurrency are made in Etherium blockchain.
So I think Etherium is the king of altcoins.

Not only BNB, also EOS and TRON. Especially TRON. Ethereum is very expensive. Even now when fees are not so high as it was in September you need about 0.5 ETH (~$300) to deploy an ERC20 contract for example. It's ridiculous!

When every other altcoin almost is basing their land on the Ethereum fiefdom then yeah, I think ETH should be king. With everyone else paying tribute to it. Staking may mean later that miners drop out but I feel like there is plenty in terms of rewards and miner fees to feed them later with the ecosystem sure to grow. It'll survive:)

Bitcoin and eth follow the same pattern. If you pump BTC, Eth will pump whether other pumps are pumped or not. Almost all tokens have run eth blockchain and currently the defi project created hype has run on top of eth blockchain.

Its a king because there are a lot of projects on it, that makes it so valuable

ethereum is still king in altcoin in my opinion. I have an opinion not a matter of price or popularity. My opinion is that when the market is bad, eth is able to face the market and when the market improves, eth is able to be at the top. this is very difficult to do if it is not a good and strong coin by any means. So by that I call ethereum the king of altcoins

Yes,
I also agree with you one hundred percent.
Because most of the coins or tokens that have been made so far have been made in the Etherium blockchain.
Also the importance of Etherium in the immense cryptocurrency.
So in my opinion Etherium is the king of altcoins.

I could not but agree to what you said that Ethereum is the king of altcoin from inception and it has remain its ground among hundreds of several altcoins. Whenever I check my portfolio to see the coins I owned I marveled at the rate they become so dump and useless for holding the coins.

For sure. I also think that there is very low chance that ethereum drop from that position. At this moment ethereum is the most used platform based token. And it has a huge marketcap in the market. And at this point of time there is very low chance that someone could reach that marketcap. In the crypto space there are many platform based token available, some of them are technically better than ethereum and low cast also. But people like ethereum. And it has a huge 3rd party deps support. I know this market is full of surprise but still it's hard to reach ethereum at this moment.

I don't see another altcoin that can replace the current domination of the Ethereum market. ethereum has proven to be strong and can stay in the top market in the crypto industry especially in the second place. If I'm not mistaken, last year XRP took over the Eth rankings but it didn't last long then ETH could take over again until now it still dominates in 2nd place in CMC.

Yes and always Ethereum still remain the king of altcoins. As what i have observe some altcoin newly risen or other altcoins were made based on ethereum system. But even though Ethereum dominates the altcoin world there are also some altcoins which possesses good at the crypto market value and one of them are Binance and XRP.
That's why Ethereum follows bitcoin in the hierarchy of rank of cryptocurrency in the crypto market. I already used to label ethereum next in bitcoin because the project team behind ethereum made it to be able to make ethereum in that position. And aside from this, users, investors and traders of ethereum proved how good these altcoin was.

the fact that ethereum remains the goto platform for the development of new projects which are mostly ERC 20 means that ethereum will continue to be the most valuable  of all altcoins.
The platform is head and shoulders above all other platforms and it is most likely to remain  that way for a very long time.
Other projects are trying new innovative things in the crypto world but none is going to topple ETH until it provides a solution that is more widely needed over ethereum.

Yes, and its open secret now that is, it is the king of altcoins and it will remain more 2-3years as like the past. I can't see anyone at this time who can take the place of it or beat it. It has a huge customer base and increasing day by day, Eth bonding them up with their massive profit policy and T&C. Also ETH 0.2 Can add new hype of growing ETH price.

There are many reasons to become an elite coin in the altcoins market.
1. Etherium has a smart contract, it gives the first transaction, and especially ETH growing more stability for coming Etherium 2.0
2. It gives safety to investors because support chosen by rules, it helps the systematize attack, I think this the best reason to be a king of altcoins.
3. It's a very unique altcoin that developed very well, and its growing system is very fantastic.
4. In 2015 ETH launched their trading in the altcoins market, and now ETH is the 2nd highest coins in the crypto market.
5. Last 5 years have no bad results, very well novel ideas, giving positivity for a future investor.                                           
Oh man, why I'm so late in ETH, but now I'm in.

I agree with every word wrote above.
ETH keep good background so its road to be a king of alts.

I think with the policy that Ethereum has now, it will not be the king of altcoins for long

the development of Ethereum right now is rally quick and they're all developing better each day even each week it shows its solidarity in Crypto monetary forms, it is exceptionally proper if Ethereum is given the title as the ruler of Altcoins and that is unquestionable, even the development is excellent like bitcoin merits if Ethereum is made the major of Crytpocurrecy since it has the force like Bitcoin

Yes, the king of altcoins is still Ethereum. We all agree with this since it is still the highest rank in coinmarketcap. I assume that Ethereum will be the king of altcoins for a long time, and not sure if any coins have the chance to overtake it.

That's right, etherium is growing rapidly and is accompanied by more and more people who transact using etherium or just investing, making etherium seem to dominate altcoin this time, even though in terms of price it is still below bitcoin but its rapid development is a positive thing for etherium

If we look at the development of BNB, actually the altcoin that has the potential to beat Ethereum is BNB. because now the capitalization is quite large and BNB is not only the blockchain product. but exchange and also investment. both of them in the next few years will see to be able to compete. the thing that is sufficient to make me sure is the development of the BSC that we can now see

- The debates are created for one purpose, reducing transaction fees on this network, people are showing an attitude and asking ethereum's team to limit costs, proceeding to launch the upgrades but unfortunately, the attitude of the project is still very silent, they have not given an exact answer. However, all still has no effect on ethereum's position and strength during the bull season but this problem continues, competitors will start mining and target user sentiment, when this community is not satisfied, ethereum's position will gradually lose its original advantage.

All experts agree that Ethereum has been and will be at the peak of its popularity and will not lose its credibility. This year, the second cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization is waiting for a big spurt upward. Some experts are encouragingly predicting that Ethereum will reach new all-time highs (ATH) in the near future. Overall, the future of Ethereum is very bright and promising in terms of its cost and prospects.

Therefore, Ethereum will still delight its investors with large dividends. 8)

Even many king had ruled the past world. The Alexander, was a unique among them and his name was known to new generations also.Like that, many project like defi had followed up the concept of Ethereum. But still now Ethereum had remain a king.The last 24 hours volume of trade of Ethereum is maximum in the range of all the altcoin in the market.

im agree with you for now no one can take ethereum place but they must becareful with binance, polkadot and cardano move
that 3 coin grow really rapidly with lot of inovation if ethereum move that slow i believe one of the three musketeer will take that ethereum place as a vice coin belong to bitcoin as a king

Wait for this year or the next if Ethereum will still be the Bossing of altcoins . There are Polkadots and Binance that is showing excitement in taking the rank 2 position  and also Litecoin is just silently working towards the top.

Not mentioning XRP that has having a problem now , what if once their case won? then the growth will start and ethereum is in Danger because of the bad reputation they collected nowadays because of the highest fee in which more than the fee of Bitcoin in some case.

I know nothing is impossible but considering the gap between their market cap? Maybe if people massively migrate to BSC and creates many dapps and project it's still possible but considering the recent rumour that says many institutional investors are starting to buy eth in bulk and holding it, I guess thats gonna be hard for coin below ETH to catch up.

Ethereum will always be the 1st altcoin in all altcoins. Why? We always converted our tokens to ethereum before bitcoin. All altcoins will go to be there once we want to decide whether to convert them to bitcoin or fiat. No one will take the place of ethereum but it will never surpass bitcoin. LOL.

This will not be easy for Binance, Polkadot and Cardano to do even though at the moment the three of them often move quickly, but this is not only seen from that direction, but must also be seen from several other directions such as daily trading volume and liquidity as well.

Antonopulos likens ,, Bitcoin as a lion and ethereum as a shark. Both have different environments, as well as their respective strengths and weaknesses. does not mean that Ethereum will forever be able to lead Altcoin or the king of Altcoins, because the development of digital currency, the more platforms that want to compete with Ethereum, for example, such as POLKADOT, EOS, and WAVES. maybe ethereum will lose out to the platform if it doesn't fix the weaknesses that Ethereum has. but I hope ethereum will continue to be the king of all Altcoins.

no doubt ethereum has been leading the alternative coins. aside from the top digital coins which is (bitcoin) ethereum price contesting the price of btc , eth blockchain is quite good also and easy to transaction with another alt coins. im using eth for a long time already and eth proved that it leads all other digital currency.

Personally, I believe that the Ethereum coin was and will be the most promising coin, since with the help of Ethereum, you can create promising business projects that bring excellent income. If this coin is the first, it means that it will be the first in everything and will be relevant in the future. The same can be said about the Bitcoin coin, this coin became the very first cryptocurrency in the digital industry.

I have 13% ETH in my wallet but how my god when they will solve the gas fee . a transaction today 50 TO 75$ ...sad

If we look at Ethereum's market cap which is much higher than other altcoins, I also agree that currently Ethereum is indeed the king of altcoins.
Moreover, Ethereum's performance is very good, making many investors very interested in buying Ethereum. Although Ethereum is indeed the best
altcoins, does not mean perfect without weakness. If we look at the very high Ethereum gas fees,  maybe this is one of the shortcomings of Ethereum
that must be corrected immediately. Moreover, since the existence of the Binance Smart Chain, several users of the Ethereum network have started
to switch to using the Binance Smart Chain. If this is allowed to happen, investors will abandon Ethereum and can make Ethereum no longer
the king of altcoins.

Hope you're right, about delivering large dividends haha but yeah I think defi will really push it for a long long time, even with all the other competitors coming up, I still have a feeling it'll do well once ETH 2.0 comes on.

Credibility issues at the beginning couldn't take it down, don't see why it'll come up again in the future.

It is very annoying that a simple ERC20 transaction will deduce $50-75. But the situation has changed a little. ETH gas fee has come down a bit now. Now an ERC20 transaction is going to be done at $3-4. I think you can do the transaction now. In fact, I hope the ETH gas fee will be further reduced by July.

There is news circulating from some people that Ethereum will continue to improve its existing weaknesses, because currently Ethereum's weakness is in the issue of transaction fees, and this will experience improvements in the middle of this year, so hopefully this can be true and also running smoothly.

Transaction fees are so high that ETH becomes less attractive in the eyes of investors, retail investors really have a headache when executing a transaction on the platform.
I have been avoiding transactions on my ETH wallet lately.

Maybe we don't need to wait the final implementation of ETH2.0 as there will be an hardfork where EIP1559 ( Ethereum Improvement Proposal 1559 ) will be implemented and according EIP 1559, regular transection fee will be changes from the current transection system where two thing will be added which is "Basic Fee" and "Miner Tip". Basic fee will be burned forever and if anyone want to complete his/her transection faster than other, than he/she can pay "Miner Tip" to complete that. As a result, ethereum gas fee won't be that much high like now if EIP 1559 is done. So, other competitiors might loss their positions.

Right now i think eth still the king of altcoins but i don't think in the next few years eth still has that tittle, i think bnb show us he will become the real contender for ETH. It will be very nice to see this 2 giant trying to become the number one.

There is no doubt that Etherum is the king of altcoins although there are several other altcoins that want to try to win altcoin king status from ETH like Ripple did but it did not last long because in a short time Ethereum managed to reclaim the title of Altcoin king from Ripple. Well, indeed, BNB is now experiencing a very significant increase, but still, BNB will not be the king of altcoins. It is worth knowing that why Ethereum is the king of Altcoins is because Ethereum is not only a decentralized platform but also a programming language. What it offers are decentralized applications or dApps. Where DApps can help users make direct agreements and payments with each other without third parties.

yes as more works from new developer helps with the offers of option on occupying product and service, the parts on finance helps also as might trader to work with the arbitrage trading with the exchange market. that those happen with the ethereum blockchain network.

Not the case for ETH as even the transaction fees are high, there are still lots of traders who continue to this chain. They don't have any choice since they have assets that base from erc system.



So far, even you seen chances to do arbs you'll think twice before dealing with it. The fees hurting everyone, that kind of opportunities is

worthless since you'll be needing to pay and cover the gas, most of the time it's more expensive.

- I agree with you, ethereum's title will probably still hold this year but with this title, many new altcoins have potential and are willing to look for a position, even toppling ethereum, especially since the cost issues are still lingering and unresolved, other altcoins are quietly competing on this issue, binance is a strong phenomenon in this factor. Perhaps the binance corporation and team are aiming for the number two position in the market, it's great that we can see the war of giants, this will prove a lot of problems and we will have a chance in this war

Yes, that is very interesting information for traders and enthusiasts of ethereum, if ethereum really fixes its weaknesses, I think ethereum will forever be the king of all altcoins and ethereum is unmatched by any other altcoin.

yes, it is very clear as you say. So far most Ethereum enthusiasts complain that transaction fees are very high compared to other Altcoins. Hopefully, with improvements in the future ethereum will become an altcoin that has more and more enthusiasts and investors.

how will there be an increase in investors and enthusiasts? while overcoming the problem of high transaction costs alone takes a very long time.
I understand that the process that ethereum has to go through is not simple like other blockchains in making updates related to improving transaction and product performance. It has been reported that it will happen in July this year.
Currently, ethereum is still going strong, despite the current market popularity that belongs to Binance with BSC.

Yes, and it seems that at this point in time the Ethereum price is also very high although the problem with transaction fees has not been resolved properly, and I also believe that if the cost issue can be resolved in the near future, then the potential for it to go higher than now will be clear on Ethereum

If we look at the enthusiasm for Ethereum tokens it seems that there are still very many people, even though there are some people who have switched to other platforms besides Ethereum, this is only for a while because considering the problem of costs that are still very high on Ethereum, meaning that they also don't hate Ethereum and still love it.

It seems that the metaphor has started to shift, because with the high gas fees from ethtereum, people are starting to look to other networks that have much cheaper gas fees, for example Binance / BNB which is a competitor for eth. but I still expect good things from ethereum 2.0, maybe it can be a solution to the problem.

Remember when crypto kitties hype makes the ETH transactions very slow and expensive in gas fee? It’s our new normal now  ;D

People starts using BSC now. I saw many projects created on BSC network nowadays. And it’s becomes the a plus point for their marketing because it can attracts small fish too.

However, BSC is too “centralized” for a decentralized network. ETH is just like the bitcoin of alts. No matter how expensive the price or fee, people will still use ETH.

Thanks for that handy bit of information. I didn't realize this was happening, have actually stopped following all the updates as it's quite impossible to follow everything now.

I don't really see how this can reduce fee problem though? Tipping is still going to happen, right?

It's my pleasure to spread the updates and happy to be the hardest hodler of Ethereum.  ;D

Tipping will be available, Here is some short list of the upcoming upgrades on EIP 1559:
(1) current block limit is 12.5 M and after the hardfork, block size will be 25M which means double of the current block size
(2) There will be two type of fees - one is Base Fee which will be same for everyone and those fees will be burned forever and miner won't get that. Second is Miner Tip which will be paid miners by those people who want to tip and make faster transections.
(3) Base/standard fee will be same for everyone and it'll fluctuate according to the "Miner Tip". For example, current base fee is $1 and current block completes a transection with using the 40% capasity of the current block size which is less than 50% of total block size, than base fee on the next block will be decreased into 12.5% and will be $0.875. On the other hand, it'll increase the base fee 12.5% on the next block if current block is finished any transection with more than 50% capacity size of the total block size. BTW, capasity will be depend on those who want to pay "Miner tip" as there won't be more than 50% capasity if there aren't any users who want to pay that "Miner Tip".  ;)

I hope , it'll clear the confussion about EIP 1559. Again happy to share with you as none ask for it.  :D

Ethereum will always be the king of altcoins and the best coin after bitcoin, it cannot be denied that ethereum is often compared to other coins as a result remains the most popular and second best coin after bitcoin.
Although the current high gas prices have not discouraged investors from owning or choosing ethereum, they are confident that the gas costs will be resolved as quickly as possible as ethereum will continue to maintain its position despite competitors or whatever.

Until now ethereum is still the king of the altcoins but this problem of the high gas fee is still not resolve, I don't think ethereum will remain the king of alts in the future.. Other altcoins like Binance coin, Polkadot and Cardano are getting popular now so these altcoins might be the king of the altcoins.

There are new platforms now tbat are trying to do what ethereum has done because we can all agree that the sending fee has been extremely high so I couldn't however consent to what you said that Ethereum is the king of altcoin from origin and it has remain its ground among many a few altcoins. At whatever point I check my portfolio to see the coins I claimed I wondered about the rate they become so dump and futile for holding the coins.

it all depends on ethereum itself, if ethereum wants altcoin like ethereum to lead all alotcoin and become king of altcoin, it must immediately fix ethereum's weaknesses. for example the transaction fees are too high.
it actually has to be fixed by ethereum.
if it is addressed, I believe ethereum will forever be the king of Altcoins.

ETH is the king and it will be always the king as you know that all the new DEFI projects are 90% about on ETH blockchain. I think it will be the best coin soon it can be higher as compared to right now

Most of the time I keep seeing users complaining about high ethereum gas but that probably won't cause trader to lose faith in ethereum. Compare ethereum's market cap and current trading volume with some of the altcoin you mentioned, are you sure people will leave ethereum easily?

Ethereum will grow soon and maybe they will solve the problem of high gas price so that there is no chance for the altcoin you mention to become the king of altcoin.

This was a time when unperforming Tron blockchain was the only alternative to ethereum blockchain. Now that we have Binance Smart Chain, it will be very difficult to give the title of the King of Altcoins to ethereum as we could see series of projects on ethereum network switching to Binance Smart Chain. If ethereum doesn't act fast on addressing the exorbitant high cost of transactions on its network, it might lose lots of utilities in transaction charges to BNB which serves as gas fee for transactions on Binance Smart Chain.

Eventhough that issue still ongoing, this coin continue to have the support that's needed to keep his spot. Nonetheless, many developers and traders are still keeping thier assets using ETH chain.

The threat behind is indeed moving forward, there are  developers who are eyeing to this alternative chain if the gas fee coming from ERC chain won't be resolve.

It's a competition, expect that ETH will update this and find way to resolve this concern.

I think As of recently there is no genuine danger, Ethereum simply continue gaining ground and leaving the closest contender by a mile and we all know its only second to bitcoin who is kind, however tragically they can't close the hole on Bitcoin's predominance over them, they are acceptable at what they are doing yet Bitcoin is a long ways ahead with no huge changes throughout the long term and for now Ethereum is the king of all altcoins and bitcoin is the king of all crypto currency

ETH is still the most popular coin in the market, they are still in the number 2 spot despite the delayed of the ETH 2.0 implementation, that's how big the trust of the investors on ETH, so they increase more once the ETH 2 will be launch and it might result to dump of some altcoins that has been an alternative for now while Ethereum network still charge a high fees.

I think Ethereum is indeed the king of altcoins. This is proven existence until now. To me ethereum is the best and trusted altcoin.

Ethereum's reputation as the best altcoin has been proven to date. Its market capitalization currently stand at 11.5% and in my opinion it is still quite high compared to BNB which only reached 2.26%. Ethereum is still going to be the best, and they are the king of altcoin. I thought it would be great news about him. Ethereum Berlin Upgrade Announcement (https://blog.ethereum.org/2021/03/08/ethereum-berlin-upgrade-announcement/)

development in ethereum is by all accounts related near bitcoins as I would like to think. The overall assessment for crypto monetary forms is extremely certain this year. For the two coins it was an incredible year. Bitcoins is normally the beginning coin for most investors. However, when we get comfortable with different coins we should hope to broaden our crypto portfolio.

Until now ETH is still the most popular coin on the market, still in the number 2 position even though the transaction fee issue has not been resolved due to the delayed implementation of ETH 2.0, Eth has given its investors confidence so that it is certain that ETH will pump when ETH2.0 is launched. Maybe it will impact alternative altcoins when eth is still having problems with the current transaction fees.

I really thought Binance Coin would be closer to flipping it by now. They had a lot of momentum a few months ago but ethereum has bounced back. The NFT hype really brought a lot of attention on ETH. There is also, generally, a lot of interest in altcoins right now and that has had a positive impact on ETH's price.

Yeah, I really hoping they will do something about their high gas price for every transactions. Because of this some of the ETH holders are now converting their ETH in the meantime into other altcoins. Due to they are looking for much more cheaper than ETH in terms of making their transactions.

It is good for Ethereum coin to maintain it's good reputation and popularity, being the second most volume coin making it the king of altcoins in terms of good volume trading and it's market price, it is hard for other altcoins to take it's place for being king of altcoins although it is also possible for any altcoin to exceed ethereum.

Until now I have never doubted about the ETH coin. Because from the time I bought this coin at a price of $200, I'm sure this coin is very good and has a bright future, so I'm holding on to it and of course right now the price is very good and I didn't choose this coin investment wrong.

Bitcoin, the world’s No. 1 crypto and the genesis of the current revolution in digital assets may one day bow down to a new king of the sector, speculates a researcher.

“Ethereum will continue to outperform Bitcoin in 2021 and will, ultimately, exceed its rival’s value,” wrote Nigel Green, chief executive and founder of deVere Group, a large financial advisory firm and asset manager, in a Wednesday note.

Green makes the case that bitcoin BTCUSD which was launched in a white paper in 2008 may cede its dominance to Ethereum’s Ether ETHUSD , which is viewed by some as boasting a clearer use case than bitcoin which is considered by some as digital gold.


Bitcoin’s value in 2021 is up 57%, while Ether’s has risen 318%, at last check on CoinDesk.

Bitcoin and ethereum are like father and mother for now in cryptocurrency, they are both a counterweight to other coins, almost no one is able to make replicas of these coins to try to market.

BNB is also the biggest part of cryptocurrencies, although at this time BNB has not been able to be above the two, all altcoins do not affect each other's actions, but overall there is no binding dependence of all these processes.

Yes, it's indisputable until now that ETH is still the coin that occupies the top position of all altcoins, even with the cost problem faced, there has not been a single altcoin that has been able to touch or match the value of ETH, ETH is very strong in the crypto market and it will stronger when the cost issue is resolved.

Yes, until now no one has been able to shift its position from its ranking in the crypto market, no one has even really come close to the price of Ethereum, it is too heavy to shift a coin as strong as Ethereum from the throne of the best altcoins.

If in March the price dominance of Ethereum was 11.5 percent, then now the dominance of this coin is 18 percent, and recently it reached 20 percent. This clearly indicates the growing role of ethereum in the cryptocurrency market. After the completion of the ongoing update of the Ethereum network for nine months, its price should also increase significantly. So, of course, she was and remains the leader of altcoins.

My biggest concern about Ethereum is that it's gap between Cardano is narrowing down. ETH still has a market cap that is manytimes that of Cardano, but ADA made a lot of gains recently. And another coin that needs to be mentioned here is the Binance Coin (BNB). The Binance Smart Chain is also growing in popularity and in the near future it can pose a great deal of challenge to Ethereum. The ETH developers are still in their slumber and are doing hardly anything to make their platform better than ADA/BNB.

What about this discussion on a possible attack to Ethereum's network?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5356927.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5356927.0)

With high transaction fees in recent times, ETH shows that it has lost its appeal compared to other competitors. Especially BNB, BNB is increasing rapidly day by day, threatening the throne of ETH.
I believe ETH developers are still working hard. The ETH 2.0 update in early 2022 will help ETH regain its position. ETH is still the king of altcoins.

but in my opinion the challenge from ADA or BNB doesn't seem to be able to match the ETH market capitalization. even though ADA and BNB do double pump it still seems to be below ETH. for ETH developers maybe they are doing big plans, because we know every time there is an issue about ETH the price of ETH becomes very volatile and it is very profitable for ETH

I believe that Etherium is the king of altcoins until now. As you can see the price is very high compared to any altcoins ETH 0rice is very high. I think ir will continue to increase more.

Ethereum is the king of all altcoins, I have no argument with that, it will not wear that crown for long. With the way Bsc (BNB) is advancing it will no longer take much more longer before it will over shadow ETH.

It's not easy for sure the two coins can compete with Ethereum,
but after all anything can happen and it is possible that ADA or BNB can match Ethereum's market capitalization,
although actually if we talk for now it looks like it won't happen moreover Ethereum will definitely continue to grow too

BSC is advancing for sure but cant say right now that it will overtake ETH soon yes there can be tough fight between them but my choise would still be ethereum right now. I feel ethereum would hold its position at the second spot in the coinmarketcap for a little bit more longer.

Ethereum is the king of altcoins untill now.Ethereum is most valuable altcoin in market.ETH price increase day by day.Ethereum is highest prices coin in altcoins.Ethereum is developing to continue. Few years ago ETH price was around $200-450$ but now ETH price around $3.1k+.I hope ETH price will be more increase this year and future.

I strongly agree if etherem is said to be the king of altcoins, because its popularity cannot be rivaled by other altcoins, besides that ETH is also growing very rapidly, so it is not surprising that this altcoin has become the favorite choice of investors, even though the costs are currently very high, but I believe with  the presence of the London hard fork this problem will be resolved.

Ethereum was the king from the beginning. It has a lot of things unique on its own that mark itself special. Remember all the altcoin that's used to be in the top 10 and even ahead of Ethereum? They're either gone or fall back to behind of Ethereum as today. Now it isn't about 'king of altcoins', it was about consolidating power for Ethereum, to do something that other altcoins will follow suit.

There has been a great challenge in market gap between ETH & ADA and ETH & XRP. If you closely watch these market gaps, you will be surprised to see them moving back and forth. I have been seeing it for past 4 years. However, as ETH is the second cyrpto coin if i am not wrong, always has chace to grow up in price after Bitcoin. So a best coin to invest in as well.

ethereum is an old altcoin whose appearance has always been convincing from the start, we know eth is always in second place, and to maintain it it is necessary to maintain the trust of its investors, and that is what eth has done until now. lastly eth did hardforlk london and proved successful in gaining investors' interest, although many people seem to compare it with bnb, but indeed both are potential altcoins

Ethereum is still the best altcoin in the market I believe. BNB seems to be the closest altcoin that has a potential to put up a good fight against Ethereum in the future. But I'm not sure of it. As long as Ethereum developers continue to improve Ethereum, BNB can't keep up with it. However, there is a serious problem which really bothers the investors. It is high fees. Whenever the market is on a good run, we see that the fees are increasing also. It is said that Ethereum 2.0 will solve the problem in the future. We will wait and see what happens.

we will see more smart contract projects that will rival ethereum . more projects will keep coming up but ethereum as the first project to develop smart contract will always remain at the top. the current project facing ethereum is the high fees. if this issue is not resolve. we might see other top smart contract projects surpass ethereum and it will surely happen. platforms like avalanche and solana are making the rounds.

yes for now ethereum is the largest altcoins and has a high price but with current ethereum problems it can affect its popularity in the future, if ethereum doesn't solve it soon, I'm here talking fees
BNB is now starting to grow and has very cheap fees, maybe this will be the toughest competitor or maybe it can overtake ethereum in the future

We share the same opinion; BNB is frequently used by a large number of investors, particularly in this era of NFTs, the majority of which are created in Binance Smart Chain. Of course, people will choose the cheapest option that allows a large number of people to enter the market without incurring a gas fee.

Cardano is on a roll right now; reaching $3 this year is a distinct possibility, and it may even rise further. Cardano, based on the roadmap, gougen could be finished and smart contracts, NFTs could be created in the Cardano network.

Common reference of other alts is on ethereum, ethereum always been dominant of all the alts, king of all king in alternative coin category. Many cryto investor still looking and investing in Ethereum like bitcoin which is also the strongest coin that we all know. Ethereum is already a legend and used all over the entire cryptoworld.

yes, ETH is the king of all atlcoins but not only this but we should also mention that BNB currently has a sizable position not inferior to ETH, however BNB still has a limited amount, there is a some exchanges still do not accept BNB Currency Exchange, ETH is accepted and more popular than BNB, but in the future BNB has very strong momentum and team is one of the biggest exchanges in the world, because So in my opinion BNB will grow even more in the future.

Lol, It is not necessary that ETH will forever be the king of altcoins.  I mean switching to POS and I suspect it's a big mistake as it throws off both the balance between active and passive for investors, where the rich's holdings will manipulate the rest.  I was very confused and sold some ETH recently because I feel insecure about its long term direction.  Looks like more time is needed to determine

Because most major trends in the crypto market have to rely on the Ethereum blockchain. From ICO to Defi, NFT, most of them are tokens and projects launched on this blockchain. With such a large number of projects, ETH will remain the top 1 altcoin for a long time.

Yes, the fan community is already huge and that makes it very strong in the crypto market, shifting a very powerful coin like Ethereum is almost impossible, I also think Ethereum is the best altcoin right now and it will be even more great after the launch of ETH2.0

Everyone keeps talking about ETH 2.0 but no one seems to be sure what upgrades that the ETH 2.0 brings and most people here are simply speculating.
ETH 2.0 or not, i still think ETH is the king of all altcoins, this platform has served as the base infrastructure for the development of most altcoins today and even with the recent problems of slow transactions and high fees, ETH remains the most widely used Blockchain due to its versatility and security

The burden on the Ethereum network is getting heavier and heavier. The public chain of Ethereum is congested and competing for resources. I don't deny the value of Ethereum, but I currently appreciate the Polkadot created by the former Ethereum CTO. For poor places, there is a saying that sounds like a joke, if you want to be rich, you must first build roads. Polkadot has done a lot of work to make the logic smooth, and the projects and improvements can be implemented normally. I'm talking about the current parachain slot auction. I feel so wonderful. So Polkadot will surpass Ethereum.

It's like Ethereum is difficult to compete with by BNB because Ethereum is already very attached to investors' wallets so it's difficult to compete, let alone want to be the king of coins, under the price of BTC there is only Ethereum, nothing else is the most powerful after BTC there is only ETH, the price is also very far from BNB and the Ethereum network is very wide and fast, even though the gas is large, it becomes a topic of discussion for the media and Ethereum network users
