Ethereum is the future of crypto, bitcoin is not.

[chansss30]

Both Ethereum and Bitcoin are the future crypto.

I know that etherum is developing very well and its current value is close to 500 USD. But actually I think Etherum will not be able to replace Bitcoin in the crypto market. Because I think that many bitcoin investors will not want their assets in bitcoin to be lost.

ETH will allow $2T of underground economy to become more structured (and possibly less underground) through DAOs.

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.

I think bitcoin will be the future crypto and ethereum will be the second most great altcoin exist. We cannot predict what will be the price of both but we can wait to see what will be the result.

Your statement is stil a theory today,i dont think Ethereum will surpass the king,ETH is the right hand of the king so its not really bad coin.

Bitcoin is still the mother of all coins. Ethereum is widely used but it doesn't have a good reputation as bitcoin. I use ethereum and I love it for low transaction fees compared to bitcoin but let's just accept the fact that bitcoin cannot be removed in top 1.

I think you overestimate bitcoin. It is popular and it is the main reason why it is #1. It has old technology inside and it has a lot of problems with growing.

Ethereum is working consistently on scalability and they know what to do next. And I don't mention that 90% of the latest projects are based on its Blockchain which means that it has a great potential in terms of future demand in ETH and gas.

So, I believe it is a matter of a couple of years for ethereum to become #1 coin.

But I don't exclude that it could happen that there will appear a new coin that will take major place.

[x86Daddy]

Of course no, Bitcoin and Ethereum both of them are the future of crypto. They have different roles in the economy. So, they will increase together

[artmen007]

From the point of view of technology ethereum really technology number one in the crypt. A huge community. Many companies that support ethereum. Let's imagine if Vitalik buterin will start to burn the ETH tokens. And make them 17 million in BITCOIN. The price will then be approximately 4000. and not 450 as it is now. I am sure investing in bitcoin and seen these huge numbers like 10000, began to invest in Ethereum and the price was close to 4000 thousand

[nieninja53]

Yes Ethereum is the future of crypto because almost all new ICOs are made on ethereum base blockchain technology and smart contract and great opportunities for new altcoin but when you are talking about bitcoin that is showing the great demand in front of you, Bitcoin is more powerful digital currency and is much better then altcoins,

Ethereum is higher risk though. All the things you claim are on the roadmap, but nothing's a guarantee. Also, Ethereum is marred by a black spot of blockchain rollback in its past, so has a higher probability of being pressured by governments to do the same in the future, which is value destructive. Some of the issues with its smart contracts, like the Parity multisig, doesn't instill a lot of confidence.

I like Ethereum a lot, but let's not underplay the risks here.

[feelideb]

We really don't know which is the future right now. But both of them stand a very big chance of adoption in the future. Considering the fact that ethereum price is still cheap, this moment might be a rare  moment of getting as many ether as possible.

[n1drow]

ETH sure has good future and a really great platform, but u cant say that bitcoin doesnt - its price is growing every day and it is still a number one crypto

[Remainder]

Bitcoin is the first so could be the netscape/kodak/nokia if they don't keep innovating.
You already see ethereum develop/innovate faster but...

It all depends where the big constitutional investors will invest, that is where the real growth comes from in mine opinion

Yeah you right! it is all depends on the situations, but I think that this two has the future because this two is both cryptocurrencies.

[sinduarianto]

in my opinion all have a good future because both Eth and Btc the price is always increasing.

[cryptofuturologist]

in my opinion all have a good future because both Eth and Btc the price is always increasing.

I agree with you. These coins do not compete with each other. Each coin is independent and has a good future. I'm ready to invest in both of these coins, because I'm confident that they have a bright future

Your statement is stil a theory today,i dont think Ethereum will surpass the king,ETH is the right hand of the king so its not really bad coin.

Exactly right. How can Eth which is not even 1 / 20th of bitcoin value can surpass the bitcoin which is more than 20 times higher than ethereum. No matter how strong points the OP give about Eth, in reality it seems impossible to happen. Also after the forks, BCH is even higher then Ethereum so i don't think it has any chance now.

[hachiman13]

Both are best of their own worlds--ethereum is to smart contracts and bitcoin is to store of value. That being said, they both have strength and weaknesses so neither is better than the other. Because of this--ethereum being 2nd in market cap--investors would have the luxury to choose if they want to invest in bitcoin or ethereum as both are safe.

[Angi]

Ethereum and bitcoin are good choice each one of this has a quality to give a successful  business but it depends on us what is our best  and make market success .Every investor make a good choice to invest their money on bitcoin .To make a discision is not easy  especially what is the best future in crypto Ethereum or bitcoin but we have to analize first think and research because no matter what happen that is your decision and no regret .

[AgentZero23]

Ethereum is a good alternative coin. It has support and it is successful today. However, it has a long way to go to surpassed bitcoin. Still these two are very good coins.

[aeternus]

For ethereum to have a future it needs to fix it's unlimited supply and not count solely on ICOs.

And we know that is never going to happen which is why ETH is never going to take bitcoin place as the number one coin, bitcoin is so valuable for many reasons but one of the most important is a very simple reason and that is the limit of 21 million coins that are ever going to exist.
