Ethereum is the future of crypto, bitcoin is not.

[jelly19]

Yes I agree that ETH, not bitcoin, is the future of crypto.
One crucial factor to consider is the politics of the cryptocurrency space. Bitcoin bills itself as a “currency.” This automatically puts it in a position to be in competition with governments who mint their own currencies. And as BTC continues to make traditional currencies more pointless, some governments may want to lash out and crackdown on accordingly. Whether these governments could succeed in hampering Bitcoin effectively is certainly up for debate.

But Ethereum bills itself in a different way that should allow it to avoid this antagonistic dynamic altogether. That’s because ETH is designed as a scarce network fuel. Likewise, the Ethereum project can sincerely avoid the legal and regulatory regulations of being a currency-killer while being a de facto currency. In this light, Ethereum may be a safer bet at present even if Bitcoin were to continue to explode unchallenged in the years ahead, ETH’s future seems significantly brighter than bitcoin.

I agree with the statement that Ethereum would be the world's future dominating Cryptocurrency and not Bitcoin because Ethereum is undoubtedly the strongest coin today in the market and most of the new Altcoins today were based on Ethereum's blockchain core and smart contract and the coin platform is ERC20.
Ethereum will surpass Bitcoin's market capital value soon and I believe that Bitcoin will soon neutralize and Ethereum will be on the top.

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.

Oh, 3 year ago. Price of 150$/1ETH would be unbelievable. But now, its price is about 1000$

Not only the price, I've been seeing many factors of Ethereum that already beat Bitcoin's overall features as well.
Ethereum could take and replace Bitcoin's dominance in the market soon and will be ranked as to be the strongest Crypto and the highest Market capital value in the market.
I am excited for what will happen in the future so I think no wonder will Ethereum will surge like skyrocket in the near future and surpass Bitcoin's market cap.

[camryku]

ethereum is a very nice altcoin but could not also own bitcoin underestimated to date, price, coincidentally both are still very much and even seemed bitcoin will remain always far superior in all areas of the ethereum.

[alt-fire]

the etherium can outstrip bitcoin by market capitalization this year, there are already few who doubt this

[crimsongoth]

I strongly agree with this opinion. Faced with the blockchain and intelligent contracts created by Ethereum, Bitcoin was unable to put even Segwit2x into action. I think that the encounter with many forks of Ethereum is a situation that damages the feeling of trust. So from my point of view, Ethereum is much more important for the cryptocurrency world.

[saruxanyan]

Since the etherium does not jump like bitcoin at the speed of light, as he quickly caught up with him by popularity, then yes.

[Birin016]

The current infrastructure and roadmap just meant for Ethereum to succeed, it's about time considering the underlying power of their platform to capture all the existing industries and transform them into DAOs through various ERC20 project owners that working hard on it, scalability is crucial for crypto and nothing could just being released and was expected to be adopt by current businesses, once technologies around crypto is seriously ready for commercialized used, going up to half of BTC's price is certain i believe.

Both coin are the future of crypto. Don't compare bitcoin and Ethereum because they have different features. Do not under estimate bitcoin just because it is old and slow compared to Ethereum. Remember without bitcoin, there is no Ethereum.

Really? Don't forget that Bitcoin is the original one in crypto world. Bitcoin started everything. If Ethereum beat Bitcoin someday, then that's it. But it will never be the end for BITCOIN.

for some reason it's true Etherum is the next best coin crypto besides bitcoin, but we can not ignore that Bitcoin is a crypto world circulation still running. Etherum has a different market with bitcoin but it can be ascertained that Etherum is one of the business crypto runs as one of the investment received by the company

[lutcor]

It's contentious, but as a platform for new projects and applications Ethereum undoubtedly ranks first and nobody can fix it, Vitalik Buterin really is one of the most influential people on this planet

[alkiw21]

Why is not bitcoin? bitcoin also has great potential and the most popular. Ethereum is the same. Both have a good future I think. Bitcoin & Ethereum is currently in great demand. Most investors invest in both. I also invested in both because I thought it would be a good investment for my future. I believe it.

[Yusuf214]

I don't think so, there is no doubt that Ethereum is strong Crpytocurreny but Bitcoin will always one step ahead of all altcoins. Bitcoin will always retain the first mover advantage.

[Neo.Prometheus]

It is difficult to imagine the reaction of the market if two or three exchanges are covered at once. For sure, the market will give up 2-3 times and we may well see bitcoin for 3 thousand.

[GamingBro]

Whille social media making hype around bitcoin and people have enough trust bitcoin would be the best cryptocurrency ever and also the most expencive.

I really like the conecpt and the idea behind Ethereum, but the hyperinflation could make it hard for ETH to make steady price growth possible.

[huzurkan]

i agree with you. Ethereraum is the biggest coin of the future. bitcoin is very slow and primitive so there is no bitcoin. maybe neo too.

[CrazyJoker]

It is very arguable topic. But for my opinion, Bitcoin is really exhausting it’s potential day-to-day. The more Bitcoin price, the more real probability of BTC fall begin!

[marvtridon]

Too many talks about Ethereum passing bitcoin. Even the creators of Ethereum wouldn't be stupid to say bitcoin would be less worth than ETH. Bitcoin is the father and it's dominance is seen once it goes uprising. Bitcoin is king.
