ETH going to replace bitcoin they said

[KennyR]

I guess that will not happen, I think ETH is only a coin that are popular today, a time when its popularity will be lost, in contrast to bitcoin is always used even when the price is going down

As said these were the coins which gets popularity for some time and moves off. I have seen users using these opportunities effectively. They used to trade with those coins and invest the profit in bitcoin.

yes indeed many traders just buying eth for benefits unlike bitcoin that we use for everyday needs many people now a  days use bitcoin for shopping and most of it use for online payments and gambling, so if eth do wanted to be like that many things are needed to replace bitcoin, after all eth only relies its price from the whale who dives so deep and pump to rise up.

ETH is very hot recently , but can't replace bitcoin
I think growing of ETH is better to bitcoin

[newrad]

Shut up

[Superways]

going to tripple digits they said..

I think they may said correct but it does not mean that it will replace bitcoin, bitcoin has its own unique place the world of crypto-currencies and will always stay as No.1, and still we wish that like bitcoin ETH also reach to triple digits.

shitcoin will never replace bitcoin, simply because the money will move on the next shitcoin, for increasing your bitcoin portfolio

now they are dumping for lisk and they will dump again for something else and so on

Sure, ok.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Well it certainly hasn't hit triple digits yet but it's holding on to 0.02 pretty tenaciously.  It got over hyped and over bought.  Pumped and dumped.

Its still a very new currency and has a lot of potential.  Bitcoin has that first in gold standard going for it but it has its flaws.  Ether has fast transactions while with bitcoin you have a long wait for your coins to confirm.  Dapps and such seems like a gimmick to me, I mean who wants to micropay every time you use an app but contracts seem to have a legit use aside from the pyramid schemes.

It will rise overtime, it was just over valued too quickly so we saw the adjustment.

[Grahnite]

No i dont think tht gonna happen as ethereum and bitcoin are two different things. Ethereum is platform for dapps where as bitcoin is and will be decenralized payment system.

This ^^

AFAIK, you can use ethereum as a platform and use any other coin on top of that. Being either Ether or Bitcoin.

I think it will be wise to hold both.

But I'm a newbie, what do I know

I noticed that. It's hard to think long-term 'round here, but from a long-term perspective ETH has done pretty durn well.

ETH's more-or-less year-to-date chart:

It's a darn good one. Hard to believe, but you could have snapped up ETH at about an eighth of its current price only five months ago. I may inhabit a different universe than some of the folks around here, but that chart looks an awful lot like an uptrend.

[Swisk]

Yeeaah, but all of that is effectively sunk. Ultimately what is of interest is how the price will move going forward, yeah?

The ETH fundamentals don't look too good in that sense.

To me it looks like an uptrend followed by a downtrend (doesn't mean that there can't be an uptrend anymore but I am only pointing out your mistake)

Sure, ok.

I also think same about alt coins, they are there just to make our bitcoins busy. Of course many of that coins people use for different things. There is new coin almost every day and people are just use them to earn more coins. But its not easy, following that coins is a hard work.
Cause of that I trade more on luck and advices from much experienced traders.
I don't think any coin can replace btc, or even come close to btc. Yes there will be good one's but they will need to touch 100 $ to become more serious threat to btc and I don't see that something like that will happen anytime soon.
