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

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

I think Ethereum will definitely catch up but I do not suspect that it will surpass bitcoin, certainly not within the next 5 years. For me Ethereum is better and has more use cases but bitcoin is the king and it will take a lot of time to change that.

No I don't think that ethereum is gonna catch up with bitcoin, I know that it have a better technology and also faster time for transfer of funds but that doesn't mean that it can surpass bitcoin that easily, it's the most backed cryptocurrency, and also the first ever cryptocurrency to be made.
And also that bitcoin is also evolving with time with major network implementations and changes to combat the problems that it is facing now.

I agree that ethereum could not cope up with what bitcoin has gone through specially the progress of it value in the market right now. Possibly bitcoin will hit that very high price within five years also with ethereum but still its second to bitcoin, because of the demand still couldn't surpass due to ethereum has to be traded first to bitcoin so it's still depe dent with btc' economy. However if agreed on some exchangers sites in the future maybe there will be an implementation of ethereum to fiat trading, then we can say the possibility is there already.

After 5 years in my opinion bitcoin will still stand on top, due to good movement of bitcoin in the market I never see any reason to surpass by ethereum. Otherwise bitcoin was so in demand to all members and investors so this is  enough reasons to believe to the ability of bitcoin.
Moreover since started, bitcoin was always on top no one can steal this position for the past 6 years.

Yeah your analyses for this matter is somehow correct it would take for several  for ethereum to catch up because Bitcoin is the first ever crypto currency made, for several years Bitcoin is number one in Crypto currency, there is no doubt that the team working with these would probably  surpassed several challenges that go through their way. Although ethereum is faster in term of technology but still a long way to catch up, but hopefully that in the world of crypto currency  the time would come that there is  a pair competition so that there is no monopoly happen, but for now I’ve seen that BTC will still get the dominance of cryto currency world.

As of today, the gap between bitcoin and ethereum is so wide that it will take serious event against bitcoin and in favour of Ethereum for both of them to be of the same market value. Despite the fact that ethereum has more advance technology as compared to bitcoin, ether till has a long way to go, for it to be of the same value with bitcoin in the nearest future.

5 years can be a game changer as eth have so many things to develop while btc are still getting a lots of support, if hacked inside eth wallet can be solved and if development with btc stop I guess eth can surpass what btc already achieved its only "if" everything went smoothly with the development of eth after 5 years.

I dont think ether can catch up as bitcoin was the pioneer in crypto currency and both have different capitalization. Its possible that the price will cope up as bitcoin prices continue to rise but it will still be the second in line 

[lady Royal]

My guess Is Bitcoin, Because Bitcoin is getting popular day by day and getting influence on market of crypto currencies. Many people are getting interested in it and adopting it I believe it will be top in 5 years unless government involve in it and do something stupid that will effect Bitcoin.

[Pimk500]

I think bitcoin will still be on top, due to the hype of bitcoin and the media attention. Bitcoin is now getting more known with the public, if the public decides to buy cryptocurrency it will be bitcoin. For them the cryptoworld is unknown and bitcoin is well known and safe to them and easily accesible for now. So i think also in trading bitcoin will be mainly used due to the hype of it yet ehter can be a good second. However if ether will manage to spread more among the masses and will be easily accicble, they can become a good second!

[2double0]

Bitcoin has proven its superiority by helping the market cap to raise above 205 Billion out of which Bitcoin possesses 130 Billion belongs to Bitcoins alone whereas Ethereum stands at 2nd highest with 28 billion market cap. Ethereum has smart contracts and since ICOs came into existence, its ERC20 technology has helped many companies to come up with their projects with ease but still unable to capture even half of the market cap of Bitcoins yet. I think Bitcoin will always be superior to all the altcoins because it's bitcoin at the other end to transact alts as well as give value to them.

[tundexijim]

I really don't think that will happen anytime. Bitcoin stood its ground from beginning. Ethereum will definitely be very big in the future but I don't think it can be as big as bitcoin.

I think bitcoin will always be above eth, why? because the bitcoin 50 steps is more advanced than the eth.
Although eth increases rapidly, bitcoin will also always increase rapidly.
I think every time eth increases, bitcoin will also keep increasing and above eth.

I think every time eth increases, bitcoin will also keep increasing and above eth.

We all know that according to the technological point of view ethereum is far better than the bitcoins but the real issue is its market price that is not more than the Btcs.

The investment shares in the global market are much lesser for the ethereum and most of the investment is being done in form of the Btcs therefore it is not possible in the next many years even that ethereum coin would catch up the market in place of bitcoins.

Bitcoin has most user at this time and as ethereum will grow as on contrary popularity of bitcoin will also increase so I don’t think so that there is a chance that eth will get high it will always stay at the second step bitcoin will stay ahead to it and this thing give me joy that m on the right side and I will never face any loss in future and I am looking forward to invest in eth also to generate some more.

Ethereum and bitcoin are going in different ways, bitcoin as asset or currency and ethereum as platform for applications. What is better to have for future is probably both, more bitcoins because price is higher and we can do more with bitcoins then ethereum, and in 5 years difference in price will be the same bitcoin on first and ethereum behind, but both will grow and ethereum have many coins that is backing it up.
Both are good for keeping, ethereum is much cheaper and that is attractive now, and when bitcoin cash is over 1000 dollars I expect now ethereum to join there, who have money should think about investing now on time.

[panganib999]

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 also think that bitcoin will still prevails its value on the market in the next 5 or more years proving its worth in the market through transactions and investments. And one of the proof is one of your claims in which ethereum is an innovation making its value dependent to the current value of bitcoin in which most of crypto-currency depends their price in the market. It is a big factor because it is quite hard to established a good perception on the market with out having the right deal to be become a choice on transactions.

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

Yes, bitcoin has a large number of users and they are very high as compared to ETH. ETH is also a potential currency but for now bitcoin is many years ahead of it and I think it will remain at the top of the list every time. Most of the cryptocurrency users trust bitcoin and used it in your every transaction as it is the best of all. The technology of bitcoin is a bit past technology but  it  has gained the interest of people  and it value has reached at a very good height  and is still increasing so I don’t think that ETH will reach  to the  height of Bitcoin.

As you said bitcoin will be on the top of the crypto currency list because bitcoin is accepted world wide more than the ETH.Ethereum will be a good competitor for bitcoin in future but I don't think it will replace bitcoins.This is because ETH transactions are little bit complicated and the using ETH wallet also not easy for the common people.
But currently ETH is cheaper so it is better to grab our ETH now to make a huge profits in five years.

[BingoDog]

Both of these currencies will stay in the top 5. Bitcoin as a main and leading cryptocurrency and ETH as an altcoin. They will keep their positions and ETH will not be a threat to Bitcoin and it can't achieve its position or popularity but will stay as a strong competition. If you think about investing, invest in both, ths would be a good diversity of your funds.

Both are the most popular and widely used cryptocurrencies with huge market cap of billions.They both have the potential to grow in future but we cannot compare ETH to Bitcoin as it will always remain ahead of it in the long run also.There is difference of almost $7800 between both the currencies and it cannot be covered easily.Although the technical background of ETH is strong but it is not much stable and still lacks in many way.

[hurriebra49]

I think Bitcoin will at the top after 5 years because Bitcoin is well known digital currency and every should want to move on the Bitcoin and there are lot of Branded companies start accepting Bitcoin, one of the well known Amazone website recently accepting bitcoin, So according to time the bitcoin is spreading and after 5 years it will on the moon.

[Nerman]

It is really hard to imagine that Ethereum will be on top after five years. Is it possible yes but probability of that happening is slim. Although Ethereum has ton of great projects I think investors will still prioritize buying Bitcoin because it is somewhat foundation of crypto currency.
