Ethereum v. Bitcoin - parity

[myxamop]

The attitude of some BTC-hardliners towards ETH is truly fascinating from a view on human behaviour and thinking in limited, already known boxes. The use of old-school uses like "premine", which simply do not fit and are of no worth in context with ETH and the technology as the potential behind it. It will be some kind irony that BTC-hardliners will miss to enter ETH as early adopters, although they should know better, but most of them are trapped in the crypto world of 2010-2013. They will fail to adopt to ETH like FIAT lovers did with BTC back in time.

I say BTC-hardliners, not big holders, as those are probably smart enough to diversify their risk by going into ETH.

ETH has now 10x the value it had at the beginning of the year and still we hear the same mantra: "It is a pump, it is worth nothing, won`t displace BTC." The Ethereum Foundation is funded with millions and has nearly 100 developers. Vitalik Buteryn has been speaking in front of the EU parliament, in front of R3 and other big companies from the finance sector. Slock.it, one of the ETH startups has partnerships like the one with the energy giant RWE. Other Ethereum startups could disrupt Uber, the other one a heavy part of the music industry.

But yes old-schoolers, keep telling us about premined coinz and pumpz bros.

BTC has a history and a use case ether does not. Can the average person use ether? At the end of the day ether is just another altcoin, sooner or later it will fall just like paycoin,auroracoin,nxt.... I would put ether's true value at $0.50 to $1.

Maybe it's true value for you, but market says you are wrong.

Just watch the polo trollbox at the moment and you will see what is building at the moment. Greedy people scrambling to move their fiat and bitcoin to poloniex to buy buy buy ether en masse now.

This is exactly what the ether holders want now. People buying their now overpriced coins in huge amounts. When last week people were buying 100 usd worth, now they are buying 1000 usd worth because they have FOMO.

Those same people will jump ship once their money halves in one epic flash crash, along with the selling of the holders, this will be fun to watch.

I heard that theory when ETH was 2 dollars and I will hear it when it's 20 and also when it's 50 dollars.

It is quite difficult for the Ethereum to be the same price as bitcoin. But anything is possible. The bitcoin price is dropping.

At present, both bitcoin and Ethereum price is stable. So they will not be in parity in the medium term.

This is not true! Bitcoin don't have stable price and this is main problem of adoption i believe. ETH is pumped by whales, and they waiting now for a LISK so be ready to switch support on time, or should i say dump on time!

I do not think LISK will be the replacement for Ethereum. Etherum is the one for the smart contract system.

ETH will overtake bitcoins market cap by next year.  If it doesn't I'll eat a whole hat shop full of hats.

If the block size of bitcoin is increased to 4MB or higher in the next year, bitcoin is still useful for many applications.

So I think the Ethereum will not be higher than bitcoin in terms of market capitalisation. Bitcoin can also be used in smart contracts.

In my opinion, the current price of ETH was just the first wave like Bitcoin was years ago. You don't get it yet what it is because or you have not researched enough or you are in denial. It does not matter if ETH is in a pump or not right now, the technology is just great and deserves that 1 Billion market cap and more. It might go down and up the next months and probably till the end of the year...and than what? Do you really believe that when the new releases of ETH, specially Metropolis are not going to move the markets? When it happens, it will open its doors to the masses and show the full potential it has to offer...and then my friend, it will be just too late to get it. If you have been following Coindesk news everyday, you would know the powerfull people that are getting behind it, including banking, financial corporations and tech corporations, which Bitcoin never had.

This is a revolution in interconnecting systems...open your eyes. Don't get in just for quick bucks, go further....imagine the future in years.

Who wants to publish their estimated date they think Ethereum will pass Bitcoin in 'market cap'?

I say: June 21, 2016

in Ethereum Vs Bitcoin one thing is important to me in order to speculate the price

available supply
Ethereum	Bitcoin
78,000,000+	15,000,000+
----------------------------
Maximum Coin limit
Not Clear	21,000,000

you do the math

correct. bitcoin will always be on top of all altcoin, including ETH.
bitcoin is the first coin has the highest value and very popular to use, I think bitcoin still has many advantages that can not be defeated by ETH

The number of supply does not matter. I remember one coin called 42, there are 42 coins in total. I do not see it any more.

lol
nice comparison my newbie friend with only 1 post.
42Coin has a 0.2BTC price but there is another important thing that you didn't mention the trade volume which is like 10 pathetic dollars.
