Between Ether and Bitcoin, which will be on top in 5 years?

[eclime]

Do you think Ether will catch up? The technology is more advanced, but will scalability of ethereum be an issue?

[DaMut]

i believe it will not happen,
Bitcoin is a genuine
and Ethereum is a innovation.
Ethereum created based on Bitcoin(ideas),this is what he said back then.
For ETH,Bitcoin is like his father.
Bitcoin told him everything about his experience and ETH learned it.
But even if it's more advanced than Bitcoin,it will never surpass the Genuine.

Every altcoin will exist as long as Bitcoin exist,but if an altcoin is dying Bitcoin will keep survive.
Bitcoin die = Altcoin die
and Ethereum is an altcoin.

Note: everybody have their opinion so if you find a multi statements try to filter it and do some research

I honestly think that Bitcoin will still be on top, but i think the gap will close. The fact is that Ethereum also gets a little look into as Bitcoin gets the publicity because more and more people get interested in cryptocurrencies.


As of today Bitcoin is $4,350 and Ethereum is $329. I think in 5 years they will continue to increase, but instead of Ethereum only having the value of less than 10% of a bitcoin it will be more like 50 / 60%

I really don't thinkEth will be as big as bitcoin. Even when Eth becomes big as bitcoin, then bitcoin will be bigger even bigger.

If we focus these top digital currency, both has decent potential been increased. Volume and market statistics indicate that Bitcoin will be incresing and remain same position but ETH has also good opportunity over Bitcoin one day!

I chose Bitcoin because Ethereum has not made significant feature changes, if up to 5 years ahead Eth does not add feature then Bitcoin will stay ahead.

I think Bitcoin will stay on top it is the original cryptocurrency that most people know about and trust, ether will definitely increase in value a lot in 5 years time imo

Which will be the top based on what? Market cap? Transactions/day? It depends. Bitcoin and Ethereum are both really famous cryptocurrencies but they're made for different purposes. Bitcoin is made for a global decentralized currency(or storage value, for some), whereas ethereum is made mainly for smart contracts.

In my opinion though, if bitcoin couldn't fix the scaling issues in probably a year from now, I wouldn't be surprised if it were to be overtaken by a different cryptocurrency. Though it would take probably more than a year, since bitcoin is still the cryptocurrency that has all the publicity. People barely know other coins like Monero, Dash, etc.

Guys, in 5 years, what will be more popular an orange or an apple? Or may be a potato?

[ben_btc]

Considering that Ethereum is based on blockchain, which is the technology that Bitcoin introduced to the world, I believe that Bitcoin will likely always remain on top as far as cryptos are concerned

[samir91]

bitcoin for sure.

[ahasan909]

BTC is still best And it is increasing Like rocket, So next few years it never down I thought,

ETH also best coin as I seen, But not near BTC, So next 5 year BTC can top.

so, At last, i say and i also believe in 2018 BTC cross the  10000$+

According to me Bitcoin is still going to remain on the top in 5 years. First of all, etherum can't be counted as a currency as it is just used as a token for smart contracts and decentralised applications. Also, ethereum is at its peak right now, so it's prices are going to come down in the future whereas, as bitcoins are gaining more and more acceptance in the market, bitcoin's value will reach a high. Ethereum still has more barriers to overcome to reach the top.

I do not know what you mean with catching up?

- Awareness? Surely not.

- Price? Surely not.

- Winning percentage? It might be possible that Ethereum will see a booming phase with winning percentages of bitcoin.

Basically people buy what they know or hear of and I am pretty sure that over 90% of the users are clueless that the technology of Ethereum is more advanced.

Bitcoin is a worlds famous highest valuable crypto coin . which price is increasing day by day . in last 1 week it's value increased one thousand or more . I think that Bitcoin will still be on top and it will be for sure. Every altcoin will exist as long as Bitcoin exist, but if an altcoin is dying Bitcoin will keep survive. But no altcoin can't cross to bitcoin . Bitcoin is father of all coins. It is still best And it is increasing Like rocket, So next few years it will be the top .

It is the fact that most of us do not know a well about Ethereum. As per the technological advancements it is quite clear that ethereum is far beyond the limits.Due to the excess of use by the people Bitcoin do have a greater market value and everyone feels that the prices are going to rise in the upcoming years.

In my opinion comparing both the of them is a foolish  task because ethereum could  never be declared as digital currency rather it is only a way to deal with decentralized transactions.

[kuronokishi10]

According to me ethereum will never catch upto bitcoin.
its like ethereum is derived from bitcoin.Even if ethereum becomes a hit like what bitcoin is right now,i believe bitcoin will be something bigger.

You are right on your first sentence but quite wrong in your second one.

Ethereum is actually not derived from bitcoin as ethereum offers smart contracts and its a platform for decentralized apps (DAPPS) rather than for daily payments. Bitcoin on other hand is purely for payments and store of value. I think ETH is not decentrlized like bitcoin that's why many still scare to invest in it, vitalik have majority power to make changes in ETH network.

[hasmukh_rawal]

Bitcoin will obviously win this race since it has a better growth than ETH. ETH is a good currency but lacks support from the crypto community.
Bitcoin on the other hand has a major support from the community and the number is increasing day by day as new members are joining the community. So BTC has better chances than ETH to be in the top over the next 5 years.

Im honestly with bitcoin only because it is showing or has shown the potential for the future development. Just look at it, how much market cap it has gotten in such hard situation also whereas Ethereum still stood the same as it was few months ago. Being core of ICO projects the Ethereum is not getting invested by many of the token holders. They are just making use of it to invest into ICO tokens nothing else. Explain why Ethereum does not pump meanwhile? May be it unlimited and more or less being controlled for its prices. So I'm pretty sure that it will take lot of time to get pumped. Meanwhile bitcoin may quadruple next year, who knows more than that so just invest in the ether and stay happy. :-)
