Every time BTC goes up, ETH goes down. To BTC or not to BTC.

Are you talking about the price? If the price or value of the coin is the concerned, I don't think eth can match btc. BTC already stands for many years, its really hard to match that. Also, I think the two coins are made for different purposes. BTC as mainly digital currency while ETH are mostly used in exchanges and contracts. So they have different uses so its really hard to compare.

Can ETH match BTC? On market cap? Probably. On price? Unlikely, but theoretically possible.
The thing though is, there's no point comparing the two. Bitcoin and Ethereum are made for two different purposes. Bitcoin as a digital currency/payment system, whereas Ethereum was made for smart contracts.
i agree it ,,, btc and eth are made for different purposes ,,, the obvious bitcoin remains as the key coin ,,,

Right. Bitcoin is a store of value and Ethereum is a medium of exchange. Which means value will flow in and out of Ethereum all the time. But then why did Ethereum get from a dollar to 300 dollar?

No they cannot compare they are completly diffrent Here: Ethereum is a blockchain that allows smart contracts and the building of decentralized applications upon it’s blockchain. Bitcoin on the other hand, is a peer to peer technology and to be used as a form of digital currency. Sort of like a paper note just that it is being stored in a ‘Hot’ wallet or Hardware wallet on your phone or on a device. you see the diffrence?

Dont compare bitcoin to Eth and vice versa. Many are into bitcoin and many are into smart contracts but with my choice, I'll go with bitcoin. There might be some dramas about the forks but still it will endure and in the end there will be only one coin that we will be supporting soon.

Rent this sig space so that BTC goes to $100k.

Another difference between these currencies that stands out above all, is the amount of coins in each of them. On the part of Bitcoin, the maximum limit that will be generated are 21 million coins, while in the case of Ethereum there is no such limit. This causes that in the case of the first one is a deflationary system, each time a unit should have more value, while the second one is inflationary, the more units they generate, the lower their value. This section, the one of creating a deflationary or inflationary system, would give to reflect and for each type of users could be better one.

For me ETH can't surpass Bitcoin. ETH created by bitcoin ideas it's like Bitcoin is the father and ETH is the son, bitcoin taught everything to ETH and eth is just a mere copy of bitcoin, but maybe someday it will happen that ETH can surpass Bitcoin i mean no one can predict the future so everything is possible. Just remember That bitcoin is genuine and ETH is innovation and Genuine will always be on top for me.

I'm in this crypto world about two months, I've been observing the power of ETH!
The power of ETH is just a fart of BTC. That is the first thing that you need to know in the world of cryptocurrencies. ETH is no match to BTC. Perhaps, to be objective about your question, ETH can match BTC in terms of smart contracts because BTC does not have it. ETH is proud of the so many coins and tokens out there that are based on their blockchain. That is something they should be proud of. But overall, it is far far down below bitcoin.

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. If we are talking about Ethereum having more volume compared to Bitcoin then that would be wrong. Bitcoin has way more people trading that coin compared to Ethereum.

ETH and BTC already exist on their respective portions, both have their respective advantages, both have a large interest. Eth value can match btc very small possibility, eth and btc will not compete, because both are side by side in cryptocurrency

What, you mean can ETH ever be the same value as bitcoin? Or in terms of market cap? I think that both of these are going to be long shots for ETH. People have been hyping about this for a while, the fact that ETH may be able to take over BTC as the #1 coin. But personally i just don't see it ever happening. Best it can do is be a solid #2 guy. Bitcoin was here first, it has the most trust out of everyone and that's all it matters.

I think this can not happen, takes a long time, if eth will rival Btc. considering the Btc price is soaring.

Indeed ETH is still seen as the most powerful and highest value from other altcoins, but I think the highest ETH price can't match the value of BTC. BTC is still the strongest above all altcoins, and its value will continue the highest value until whenever I guess, because after all BTC is different from all altcoins.

Most probably never. For one reason BTC is capped and the other is not. For another and probably more importantly bitcoin has had several years of first mover advantage and this is really tough to undue. Either Ethereum must have insane breakthrough never seen before or BTC must bust in a major way, neither of which I envision happening. Is it possible that in the future they cut the limit of supply of Ethereum? Somehow, can they stop the mining?

What you say can happen although the possibility is not high.

This two altcoins have owned characteristic but in terms of price we all know that ethereum is much higher compared to bitcoin cash "for now" but we never know when bitcoin cash was starting to trust by the other users. If it is happened I'm sure that one day bitcoin cash was surpass the ability of ethereum, moreover this coins have ability to survive even their supporters are not enough it was due to good support given by the developers of this altcoin.

Bitcoin as the mother of crypto and we must never feel doubt about that. the only competitor to the bitcoin is only ethereum. or ethereum can be consiudered as the silver right now after the bitcoin itself. A lot of interest in bitcoin and ether.
