2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Bitcoin be surpassed by Ethereum??? on: May 29, 2016, 10:56:23 PM
I haven't made up my mind about ETH yet but I'm going to play devil's advocate and assume it is unequivocally 100% superior to BTC.

Even in such a scenario I feel the best-case outcome for ETH is a 50/50 duopoly and the reason for that is, and I'm not academically literate in economics so correct me if I'm wrong, but markets tend to drift towards a power struggle between two competing resources/corporations/currencies. Now many markets reach an equilibrium before this happens (Forex has about 3-4 "major players") but other markets become dichotomous (Gold/Silver). Regardless of where the market reaches a sort of equilbrium their is always a TENDENCY for two, if there is ONE another emerges, if there are four two will merge, etc.

Now the second point I'd make is one of the first things I ever learnt when it comes to business, there are TWO ways to succeed and be relevant: be the best or be the first. Even in a world where ETH is crowned most superior crypto, BTC will remain the only viable alternative because of it's precedent/image/brand recognition. Bitcoin made one of the biggest impact on the world in the 21st century, that kind of impression isn't going to fade for decades.

So I think ETHs BEST-CASE scenario is a 55:35 market share split BTC:ETH. Again that still leaves tons of profit to be had, I personally predict MktCap of cryptos to hit 1tn by 2020.
