Can ETH match the BTC?

[nomad1109]

I really doubt ETH will catch up to Bitcoin. Bitcoin was the first, and is the banner coin of crypto.

Bitcoins price is way too far compared to ethereum and their journey are on the different ways the bitcoins are bitcoins the mother of all cryptocurrency while ethereum is just an alternative coins or altcoins. But they have the same potential as bitcoins before we cannot say maybe someday their value might be as expensive as bitcoins today. But when that day comes I'm sure that bitcoins will be too far ahead from them because bitcoins are the pioneer and the most reliable digital currency and besides altcoins names are ruined by those shitcoins that are spreading in the entire cryptocurrency.

I think it will match in future but today it is not possible because bitcoin is very very volatile money than etherum and its value raise every day but not as bitcoin if people use etherum more than bitcoin it will match but now it is probably not possible so in future it can match bitcoin.

[narukami]

in different points of view it can surpassed it . we should know that there is no point when comparing to these two coins because there are different when it comes to purpose  the bitcoin was purposely made for payment/currency payment and the ethereum was purposely made for smart contracts

[Anchor867]

yes it is possible that the ethereum can match the btc but not all points of view can be accepted I can match the price but not the purpose of the coin the bitcoin was made for currency payment and the ethereum was made of smart contract in this way I can say that they are different but it can match the ethereum as the price of the bitcoin

[HodlusMaximusInvestus]

ETH is not BTC that is not the same and this should be thinkable.. 

[Samueltalk]

Eth and btc have different exchange rates, if eth wants to be like btc with the price is quite expensive, it will take a long time, as time goes by.

[Aura]

You can't really compare these two, they are intended for two different things.
Bitcoin is intended for payments like you do in a shop and Ethereum was made for smart contracts.
Ethereum doesn't have a max total supply like Bitcoin does, and at the moment has 5 times more units in circulation.
So I think the price won't be comparable to Bitcoin either.

[TheCarm]

ETH is going well but BTC is flying
The lights of both are eye catching

The only disadvantage for BTC, ETH has mining support.

[Smokey Bob]

Eth is nice, but Bitcoin will always be higher. It's sort of the gold standard for crypto.

[eddyhalim]

i dont think ethereum can be able to have a chance to be equal with bitcoin in at least 10 years, we all know eth has a powerful rise in last year making it become one of the most potential coin on the market, however more people still have a trend that want to own bitcoin more than eth due to its high price already. so Ethereum can hardly against bitcoin if bitcoin keep rising more and more.

[GreatArkansas]

Yes of course. But not yet today. Maybe more years, lets just wait. Ethereum is getting hotter. I believe in ethereum. Most of ICO nowadays are based in ethereum, that is also good factor.

Well, there are many times in our Group Chat talking about Ethereum. And Ethereum is a great coin yes. And it might moon soon. Probably it might rise after the dump of btc or when it will become stabilize.

[kapipindot]

It could take time before ETH match BTC, though I personally think not in the next 5 years. By comparing the entry price of both ETH and BTC to their 1st year,  
BTC (July 2010) $ 0.06 to (July 2011) 13.71, based on my calculation that is 22750% increase while  ETH (Aug 2015) $2.83 to (Aug 2016) $11.18 and that is 295%. What's impressive is the increase in value of ETH from January - present, it has 3600% while BTC from duration has 700%. Yes ETH maybe the silver next to bitcoin but cannot catch up anytime soon.

i dont think so,, Bitcoin not gonna match with ETH
i know ETH have power but Bitcoin its more powerfull, but who knows the future,, will see 

[djangocoin]

Nope, the supply discrepancy alone would do it, but the fact that btc is king coin it's pretty much always going to be in the no#1 spot imo

[MarioLuck990]

BTC is a high cost ineffective database, if people notice what BTC is for real then will invest to Ethereum which does a real job to the network and maybe then Ethereum get a better price than Bitcoin

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?

It's impossible to mine Ethereum infinitely. The difficulty of Ethereum will shoot up exponentially. Next year there'll be a difficulty bomb. From that point on there will be far less new Ether created. Eventually the supply will grow by almost 0 a year.

we know how power bitcoin is but eth is done it also but in some other way so i believe that ethereum really have a future but it is always regard in all situation that can posible happen, we can predict as long as we want but we dont have any assurance on it.

It will be profitable to mine ETH until they release Casper and ETH goes to POS. But the supply will never go to 0 per year as the people staking ETH will earn at least 5%.
