Can ETH match the BTC?

[jyotianand01]

I'm in this crypto world about two months, I've been observing the power of ETH!

Ethereum is rock solid coin and established its power after bitcoin and main rival of btc but it is a very long journey for eth to match bitcoin. It is the 2nd largest market cap but huge gap in both marketcap and it cannot be equalized in near future.

Eth can not compete with bitcoin, because bitcoin is still becoming popular for now.

[rayjellanajao]

I don't think so, because bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency to come, and it has been developed and harness and since it has a market cap that makes it price increase it's the advantage of bitcoin over ethereum but it's only based on my own opinion. Who knows? maybe someday?

I think it it really possible! Just see how many ICO are going on ethereum? Unbeliavable! So one day it will rise at least to 1000$.
Just be patient!

[roller_coiner]

I think that Eth has the potential to grow even more in terms of market capitalization. In terms of it's price - highly unlikely. It has an unlimited supply which mean constant devaluation due to more and more being issued.

A lot of icos mean if the ethereum already succeed to build the friendly platform and anyone be able to use it right now, just like there are so many big companies was joining on the EEA. That means if the ethereum developer was serious to develop the ethereum infrastructure and especially in the blockchain development.
We can see the more company that already joined in the EEA aim to build the future sidechain on the ethereum environtment. $1000 not only a dream.

In my own opinion ethereum can't match the bitcoin in terms of price because bitcoin is only limited to 21 million coins so, the price will inflate due limited supply unlike the ethereum has unlimited supply so, over time the value will decrease constantly as more ether issued but in terms of market cap ether can overtake bitcoin due to the same reason but according to coinmarketcap.com bitcoin's dominance is 61%, 15% higher than May 2017 dominance which is 46% which means more people are investing to bitcoin. for now would say bitcoin is still no.1

[Badhuamin]

for now the comparison of Ethereum and Bitcoin is so far Bitcoin's palagi is now up again and Ethereum is now down again.

[munareal]

Not in a long time thought the 2 differs . Bitcoin is actually created as a digital currency while ethereum is created as a platform that relates to records of transactions used in smart contracts.They are both good coins but bitcoin is the king.

they can match but unfortunately not so totally because we know and see just like what you said and observe for the price , value and how we see in the coinmarket the bitcoin is would still the number 1 and most influencial coin that is exist in crypto currency. eth is one of the best too but eth has its own way to be number one too.

Yes ETH has the potential to grow but bitcoin is also increasing so for eth getting to 7k will take a long time. While bitcoin is now at 7.3k it will go higher.

It would really take a long time for ETH to keep up with the fathers of coin Bitcoin.

[pratik009]

No ETH not match BTC.beacause they have their own blockchain.and the price difference betwwen ETH and BTC are too much.they both are cryptocurrency but difference through their nods and blockchains and price.the btc is the king of cryptoworld and it has very large history.but i think in future the price difference between BTC and ETH become very less.you can also call eth as the shadow of btc.

I couldn't agree more, bitcoin's just been present for a long time and it's been increasing in value ever since, while eth is so much younger than bitcoin so no matter how popular eth gets, it will never beat bitcoin nor match it because bitcoin is the father of crypto and it will always be on top.

[dettihegedus]

i think ethereum price in the can possibly defeat bitcoin but that will take a very long time, because now the distance between bitcoin and ethereum is very big due to many forks on bitcoin recently but eth has more potential to develope in future than bitcoin so, may be oneday eth will have a chance to against bitcoin.

I think the top price that can ETH go is $1000. I don't think it can really reach what bitcoin has already been doing. Bitcoin price is so high that all investors are pouring their cash on it. But I don't expect that to happened in ETH. But maybe it can go to the moon but it will take a lot of years for it. When ETH reaches $1000, maybe bitcoin is like $100000 by that time. ETH is really a good coin however, everyone is really out to make good money and don't like what the project is behind.

[ali8911]

Unit price wise, BTC will be ahead. However, ETH price growth may be more for a few years until all BTC are mined, at which point it would be difficult for ETH to compete with BTC.

I share your opinion dude. Bitcoin has literally created the crypto world and has, is and always will stay the king of the crypto world no matter what. I strongly believe this, but I am definitely not saying ethereum is a bad investment or anything. Their blockchain feature and smart contracts feature are revolutionary and has paved the path for the introduction of many kinds of altcoins excluding scams with real life use cases. It will never catch up to bitcoin though since bitcoin's supply and demand logic works against it.

Exactly! Ether is a good medium for smart contracts but as a store of value, bitcoin has no parallel. However. I am really scared right now, as bitcoin has appreciated at a very unnatural pace and may crash soon and hard. Lets just hope that doesn't happen.

[Butchick]

When we say match meaning in value, that is less likely. For one, bitcoin is way to high now and its increase in value is quite constant except for some little fluctuations every now and then. Moreover, they both represent different technologies and in terms of projects, they are of different paths which makes them incomparable. They both have potential and are great in their respective areas.

[Lpim01]

Ethereum platform and ether is definitely a formidable coin for bitcoin. Ethereum is doing all that bitcoin is doing and more. I forsee ethereum rally right after this bitcoin rally and future fork.

When it comes into volatility effect, bitcoin is very vulnerable to have that compared to ETH. As we can see, if bitcoin will goes up ETH will fall in contrary. Any possibilities that ETH will compete bitcoin is just very little because we all know that since from their existence  they are far from each other until today.

[rexter]

Etehreum has a slightly different economic model than Bitcoin-Bitcoin block rewards have every 4 years while Ethereum releases the same amount of Ether each year ad infinitum.

[CoinOverlord]

Also people don't understand the fucking rarity of Bitcoin. There's SO FEW bitcoin out there while Ethereum has an infinite supply.
