Ethereum is the future of crypto, bitcoin is not.

Ethereum is the mother of platforms using blockchain and smart contracts, BTC is the mother of digital currency and means to store value. They can be two different things with similar use, not directly enemies. I believe that both are the future

Ethereum is a 3D blockchain.

Bitcoin is only 2D (value store and value transfer).

You envisage a future where value store and value transfer are done on Bitcoin and value programability is done on Ethereum?

Seems unrealistic and hacky when Ethereum does what Bitcoin does so much better.

Bitcoin is also slow, expensive, energy inefficient and not as reliable. Granted Ethereum had the benefit of being able to analyse years of Bitcoin performance data.

ha ha what are you talking man  It's right that Ethereum is an attractive coin, but, it's an alt-coin. Bitcoin is the mother of all coins ...... No one can stop the success of Bitcoin.

That is right. That is the reason why the market cap of bitcoin is the largest.

For now. Assumed dominance is a dangerous thing.

Right now BTC's biggest advantage is the pipeline from fiat currencies into crypto. I am not sure this advantage will last very long, they should use it to improve while they can!

The bitcoin has a larger user community. So it will last for several decades at least.

It is hard to tell in a current moment, what gonna go faster and predict the price for bitcoin or even ethereum in my opinion.

 Indeed, would be better to invest your funds in this two crypto currencies, they all have potential

I think bitcoin have a better lead right now, against ethereum, but will be a good idea to buy something that is not that expensive as bitcoin

I think the bitcoin and Ethereum are two of the good currencies.

Surprisingly ethereum as been a preferred choice over bitcoins by the cooperate world and is likely to attract more investment as they continue to  incorporate the ethereum technology.

Not just that, for remittances (never mind programmability), Ethereum is faster and cheaper (and more energy efficient, etc.)

How do you determine it is more energy efficient?

Maybe because its just going to be mined through GPU compare to Asics. But I still think BTC is much preferred by the looks of its price. The future needs more privacy and its no wonder coins are created over and over fro same feature - untraceable and privacy. XMR is the future.

It is possible that the bitcoin will rise faster than most altcoins.

Bitcoin has build its strong future worlwide , therefore it may be everyone's need in future.  Alternate crypto might be dismissed and ignored

[fundyourself]

I think the market will be big enough for 2-3 alt coins to exist. To use an analogy, bitcoin is like gold in the real world, but there are other precious metals such as silver that we trade in. Whether bitcoin will actually retain is another story, if it doesn't improve, it might eventually get taken over by other coins once the altcoin ecosystem is built up.

It depends on the function of the coin. If they are all different, they will coexist.

We all know that bitcoin's position has already been established, but I don't think other crypto has no chance to be adopted worldwide. Look at what Ethereum is doing right now.

Yeah that's true at some extent normally if you see many people in this world who actually are willing to invest in crypto currencies see mostly the background of the coin and as far as I know only 10% of people actually care for features. So most of them will end up investing in bitcoins itself and like you said yes it possible for few altcoin to remain like other metals.

The bitcoin has established position. But if it does not evolve, it will be replaced by other coins. That is happening now.

Just wait a bit until the bounty in ETH is big enough to be attacked by a turing complete bot and nice crash could be seen or wait until ETH runs into same scaling issues or wait until some group plays with the scarcity or...its FUD...?

Beta vs VHS....how sweet.....and pointless.
