Ethereum is not just a coin. it is a trading platform for smart contracts. So it is more user than bitcoin in some extent.

I think you must first kill bitcoin, and then you can talk about successor..
I mean every coin no matter how good he is will stay second until a Bitcoin heart is beating. Tongue

I think the bitcoin cannot be killed by external forces. It is a legal property. It can only be killed from within.

We can't talk about Bitcoin in such manner as he is already dead.
He is still alive and all those coins only can take second and third place, nothing more.
They are just clones.

It's hard to say really. I never really tried to understand much about Ethereum, because it doesn't really sound like it's a "currency", rather, it's sort of a "database" system prototype.  I'm pretty sure Microsoft bought out Ethereum as a testing ground for their Azure platform.  So, in a way, I'm just not that interested in Ethereum.

I don't want to sound like some kind of shill for an altcoin on here, because I hate when people use FUD to encourage people to buy some of their coin.  But, I personally think the new coin on the block that holds a legitimate value compared to bitcoin would be Monero (XMR).  They are sort of a fork off of DASH, in which they both use the "cryptonote" code.  If you don't know much about the cryptonote system, it's basically a way to anonymize transactions on the blockchain through "ring signatures".  Monero is different because of a group of active devs working together on the codebase... whereas DASH has become sort of stagnant with active development.  

DASH is also pretty well known for being insta/ninjamined at the beginning, so that the very early adopters have an incredible amount of coins under their belt... Monero was a fairly launched coin, which makes it more appealing to other people who weren't the very first people to hear about it.  

If you want to read more about cryptonotes... here's the white paper:
https://cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdf

Also, here's what's being worked on Monero as of right now; which is Ring CT (way of anonymizing the actual amounts on the block chain) this is being worked on by Shen-Noether... someone in the monero research lab:

http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/bitcoin/Ring%20CT%20for%20Monero.pdf

Again, I really don't care if you guys get into it... I just really like it to help remain anonymous in my transactions, and not have everything publicly available on the blockchain.  A cool tool I use, primarily for buying stuff in BTC, is using my XMR (monero) and using https://xmr.to/  to pay any vendor who accepts bitcoins, and pay with xmr to help remain anonymous.  It just converts how much XMR is worth at the current moment of purchase (in BTC) and pays the vendor in BTC.

Edit: I will have to say though, that it does propose fixes for a couple of the problems that Bitcoin is facing right now... 1) XMR has adaptive blocksizes to adjust accordingly to amount of transactions being done 2) Tail emission features, where the total amount of XMR is added on to in the future to incentivize mining in the future (should be 18 Million coins, and then keeps adding coins as need... where it will get closer and closer to 21 Million over time, but keeps decreasing rewards so it never really gets there).

very interesting post,this is the kind of post that will educate newbies like me on what to look for on any crypto currency,newbies and seasoned holders should read this post before they hype on useless coins

It's also dead wrong.
As a matter of fact, XMR is not a fork from dash but from BCN, the first cryptonote coin which have probably been ninjamined/instantmined...
Dash and XMR are both targetting privacy niche but they are very different.

There are so many supporters of Ethereum, there could be basis, there could be none but what's important is the support of the community. With the community support, it means that when there's a major dump a lot will still buy it thinking that they're getting at a bargain. I'm not pro-ETH but the way I see with how they push their coin, it's something that other altcoin doesn't have.

I love those self proclaimed successor of bitcoin, especially if they come from ico groupation.
Probably many of supporters are actually investors. This is worse kind of advertising through hyping (spam).
This can be very bad and dangerous for newbies, my advice stay away when you see such hype.
I have saw this many times. Cool

If the Ethereum becomes very popular and many applications are built on its platform, then it can become 2.0.

Would be funny if Ethereum became very popular as it would choke and stop working.

No it wouldn't. Ethereum is being constantly developed.  The scaffolding is already in the code to allow massive scaling.

Amount of resources put behind ethereum is pretty big. Don't see it dying any time soon

The successor to the bitcoin is the bitcoin itself. It will be developed constantly and becomes better and better.

Bitcoin development is stalled.

Ethereum will subsume bitcoin quite quickly.

Although there is constant development in the Ethereum, there is also developments in Bitcoin, the block size will increase to 2MB by next year.
