Ethereum is the future of crypto, bitcoin is not.

[Jiyens3]

i am replying to this thread not to comment on the comparison b/w ethereum and bitcoin but as a food for thought for those people labeling some altcoins as shitcoin.this thread was started in 2015.at that time ethereum was value at $2.most of the member[mostly legendary members] that replied to this thread label ethereum a shitcoin and even insulted the author of the thread probably because he was a newbie then.some even told him to bet his whole investment on it since he believed this much in ethereum.he predicted ethereum will be around $150 in three years. fastforwad 2 years later ethereum had reach an ATH of $400 .so dont let anboby tell u a coin will fail or that its a shitcoin.if u believe in any project dont let anybody talk u out of investing in it be it a legendary member or whoever.just buy and HODL.SOMEDAY u will reap the benefit of ur conviction

I agree to your point. But when the market is getting bigger day by day and lots of new coins are entering the market. It becomes tough to judge a coin. I agree those members called ETH a shit coin, but don't forget they must be newbie at that time. They might not understand the market and also competition was less, so chances for growing were good. But now there are so many shit and scam coins that betting on a popular coin is safe unless you understand the market completely. Those members were favoring Bitcoin at that time and they weren't wrong as well as Bitcoin has also risen to a good extent since then.

Our world is full of competition, we can't says who's still stand in the end. For now bitcoin is the king of crypto currency world, but how about in the future? Though I believe to the potential of bitcoin and their adaption skills. However, ethereum is also potential coin with own ability to survive in any problems. That's why for me both of this coins is the future of crypto currency world.
Maybe we only need to understand the capability of both coins, their strength and weakness to lessen the doubt of anyone in bitcoin and ethereum.

yeah bitcoin and etherum have strength and weakness..!and i think etherum there is no value without bitcoin.i agree with both of this coins is the future for me

I think the problem lies in the fundamentals. Ethereum has been in a cumulative regression regime for the last 9 months. A smart person over 90%, I think alternative cryptocurrency will not be able to beat popular bitcoin, because bitcoin is a reference value for all cryptocurrency replacements. can not beat the Bitcoin coins! thank you !

Most traders never beat the market, for that to happen you need to be extremely lucky or talented and many people have neither of those qualities that is why the most preferred way to invest in bitcoin is to buy it and hold it for a long time, while this strategy seems very passive to a lot of people that strategy has given investors many times over their initial capital so it should not be underestimated.

Ethereum however has competitors such as waves and the most awaited competitor and will probably exceeds its capacity is the NEO. NEO offers wide range of features and not to mention the GAS which is like the dividends to received by its holders.

[DosManos]

Well, if you talking about the future of the crypto, you should know that KMD is the future of the crypto since it had everything you need in its platform a lot more then ethereum.

Both are the best in their own ways as bitcoin is the king of cryptos and will remain always on the top and on the other hand eth will rule the altcoin market but I don't see any competition between both of them as bitcoin will always rule the world.

Both are similar, but has varied features which makes each better than the other. As of now many altcoins came into existence, but very few became popular and reached to be talked along with bitcoin. On that basis bitcoin will be the leader for the digital currency network and ethereum will lead the altcoins market.

[tylerik1]

Bitcoin will always be the boss of crypto! Both currency are going to be huge in the future, but I dont think that Ethereum will overtake bitcoin!

[sulendra12]

I think your future crypto is ethereum. Because bitcoin is too old.

Both of them are okay, even Bitcoin is too old it doesn't mean Bitcoin is bad. Without Bitcoin, altcoin is worthless. Ethereum has their own problems too, like DAO hack and sometimes the network is down which until now you could see it every times. It's okay to be a fan, but keep in mind with those problems.

People like old one only that is why the bitcoin price is skyrocket, and the ETH is still below $500. When the ETH price reaches $4k, i am not sure what will be the bitcoin price that time maybe it will cross double digit. ETH is the future coin right, but I think there are no possibilities like both coins price will be same in future.

ETH will allow $2T of underground economy to become more structured (and possibly less underground) through DAOs.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/04/23/americas-2-trillion-shadow-economy-is-the-recessions-big-winner/

If it captures 1% of that $2T, it is equivalent to $20B, which would put ETH somewhere around $150. Those who sell for $2 will shit bricks, eat sand and may even commit suicide in the years to come. If it captures 10% of that ETH will be $1500. I know it sounds crazy, but so did the Internet in 1995.

Once it's launched their main focus will be on scalability, which I think is the real reason crypto is not ready for mainstream. Once they can handle 100K TPS (and I'm sure they will), it's game over.

Good call, except bitcoin is not a competitor for eth so both will grow.

Especially as it becomes difficult to judge a coin because there are so many now ones, you should not just put the label of shitcoin to whatever you don't understand. At least you would avoid the humiliation of people laughing at you years later if that "shitcoin" made it to the top 2 of coinmarketcap...

[asma555]

bitcoin is famous and Etherum is popular now.but Etherum has bright future. but it's the matter what will happen in future. so, wait and see what will happen.

I think for now it's impossible, as you can see, bitcoin had already established it's name in the cryptocurrency world. And, I think no coin or altcoins can surpass bitcoin when we talk about it's credibility and achievement. A lot of people trust bitcoin because it already helped a lot of people and it is very profitable to keep.

[babsjoe]

There is no need talking down bitcoin against ethereum. These wonderful payment system are different yet complimentart. Ethereum is built to support and maintain contract and self execute. Why bitcoin is the future of money.

[energico]

at a seminar Vitalik buterin say he will make ethereum over bitcoin and visa/master card network soon

We don't know this yet, however, I think most people here are aware how bitcoin is. Bitcoin has been famous ever since it boomed a few years ago. A lot of people became rich because of bitcoin. So, I think no other coin can do it for now. Bitcoin already established it's name and I think it will remain number one in the future.

Bitcoin has no smart contract and only rely on function as a medium of exchange, this innovation will be replaced by ethereum because many coins already believe it, and even eth is now beginning to be converted directly into fiat without going through bitcoin. Vitalik Butterin has a strong long-term plan especially if it happens hardfork and become POS according to the schedule and issues that appear at this time.

[digitalgame4life]

I agree that on long term Ethereum is going to take over the throne of Bitcoin, not only the price of both cryptocurrencies will decide that but the actually the real world use, I think Ethereum is closer to world uses than bitcoin due to its smart contracts and also the tokens running on Ethereum network, I am more convinced that other projects will also take over, think about NEO,OMG and QTUM, but for the next few years I think there is no chance of another coin taking the place of Bitcoin.

[MichealSRodriguez]

I really like using bitcoin, long delivery and the cost of small. Actually, Bitcoin is the future of crypto, not Altcoin. Because Altcoin has a lot of inadequacies, we are sure that Bitcoin will go further. Hello

[Zerosk]

Although bitcoin and etherium are competitors and have some similarities, my opinion is that you cannot compare them because each one of them has different objective and scope
