Is Ethereum a threat to BTC???

[Faroxx]

Today I heard that Ethereum Raiden Network is going live.
If you read about it http://raiden.network/ you will notice that, if true this network will be much faster than VISA or other CC providers.
After this I see ethereum at an advantage point over bitcoin.

I do not agree with you. Even if this happens I think people will not abandon bitcoin because many perceive it as a means of savings, like gold for example.

No, Ethereum is not a threat to bitcoin. They are an apples and oranges comparison. Ethereum is more centered on smart contracts whereas bitcoin is designed mainly for decentralized transactions. I believe both will survive and remain strong over the next few years.

If I remember correctly some people argued that Ethereum was Bitcoin 2.0, that it could do everything bitcoin could do and at the same time it could do the smart contracts above it and now we see that people most of the time only use ETH as a smart contract platform and not as a currency.

Ethereum is not a threat to BTC but they are in the same market and offering similar solutions. It is right that are different kind of things but they are anyway getting a part of the cake. At the end of the day, the investors are supporting different business or both, since  for example, some altcoins raise money over BTC and Ethereum at the same time, so, you can use your BTC to pay one half of the altcoins that you bought, and pay the remaining half with Ethereum. To conclude, ETH is not a threat but a complement of BTC.

Ethereum not a thread but it is different and will go side by side in future
similar to Chrome and mozilla browser

What confuses people is sudden diversity.  Its not suppose to be single coin in the world. Or 2 for that matter. Each application may have its own currency. As long as it can be converted on free market, its all good.

They are cooperatively competing. They will both be around forever. They will cater to slightly different market segments.

[Sowik]

I see it as a friend to Bitcoin.
Bitcoin drops - everything else drops, including Ethereum.

How to mine ethereum?

[Sonoproprioio]

Do you know any pool?

ETHEREUM is no only a threat to BTC but it will take over BTC's marketcap one day.

Or so some of us can hope 

[bravetheheat]

ETH may be a better coin for cryptocurrency, it has fast transation speed and smart contract, and total supply is also reasonable.

The most important thing for a currency is the identity of value, everyone knows BTC if you mention cryptocurrency.

If there is one day that most of people are talking about the ETH nor ETC, then ETH will be a threat.

[Morguk]

I don't think Ethereum is too much of a threat to BTC, maybe it will take the marketcap one day but I don't think forever. I think IOTA is much more of a threat.

Bitcoin and Ethereum cover different market segments and needs. Bitcoin is a store of value and will
always remain the #1 cryptocoin. Ethereum is more of a platform for various projects
to run on it. It will also remain a top coin for a long time.

I heard that the ethereum is much better than the BTC that in fact is the same as BTC but improved and that is the reason why it is rising a lot of price.

Is the Ethereum really better than the BTC? Do you believe that the Ethereum will reach the prices of BTC and even more that will surpasses  the price of BTC, or that even will replace BTC?

What are your thoughts and predictions for Ethereum ??

In depends on what therms ETH is better look there:

And you will see that ETH expanding is costly for resource and all icos are not working yet so.
You have to be careful EOS Tezos NEO are coing out of corner.

Well, Ethereum is really interestic and promising currency but it's a bit different than Bitcoin. I love the ability to create your own token. It can be used in many different ways. Even some youtubers started release their own tokens which will support them in their future.

Ethereum is not a threat to bitcoin because ethereum is a platform. Even ethereum will replace the bitcoin soon it is controlled by a company while bitcoin is controlled by the users

Well, not a threat but a great option for bitcoin. Since its an altcoin, its a good alternative and Ethereum is on different platform. It has also its own token under its wings which are very promising also.

[DosManos]

there is no "better" .. they are on diffrent markets and diffrent uses

[Rabi3]

If you mean that Ethereum is better than bitcoin I went tell you that you are absolutely wrong and the prices of both confirm that

[gidaahmad]

We need to think logically for this. Ethereum is smaller than Bitcoin. However, seen from the price fluctuations, ETH is more stable. We also see the price of ETH had touched 10% of Bitcoin. Well, hopefully this figure will continue to rise this year to 15% Bitcoin price that will make ETH holders happy.
