Ethereum , is it the future ?

[Alosa]

Yeah.Ethereum has a potential to be the new Bitcoin in next 10 years.Because Bitcoin's proccess time is soo much.But you can trade Ethereum under 1 min.

[eann014]

Since 2013 , the price of Bitcoin still increasing until it has passed 7k $ . i'm thinking about the Ethereum and it could be the same scenario like bitcoin after 2 or 3 years . is it possible ?

It can be possible, because Ethereum as I know is next to bitcoin so maybe if bitcoin will drops its price some people would really think Ethereum would be the best buy if that's happen. But hopefully bitcoin will still remain on what is bitcoin today. And hopefully that bitcoin will still increase its price up until $10k.

[cryptolit]

It's possible; ETH is popular for it's cheap transactions and quick processing times compared to bitcoin. It's a good investment to hold for a long time. Whether it is 'the future' is speculation - but then that's what we're in!

[Sir_Justin]

I do not think ethereum will be the future. I think bitcoin wil keep it's place for a long long time. Ethereum could be in the top ten of the best, but it won't be the real deal in the future.

And what makes you think so?

Have you seen how many advantages ETH has over BTC? I see that a few messages earlier it has been described, but still it has much more growth potential than BTC. And there might be 90% projects running their ICOs on ETH blockchain which makes it much more popular.
And I'm not saying about the guys from Raiden and Universa, who work on speed improvement that will make Ethereum way more faster.

So, how can that be that BTC which hit $7500 is better for long-term investment than ETH which is in the beginning of its growth with ~$310?

[Jaxelrell]

It is for sure the future, but it will never take bitcoins place, but i will always be in the top 5. Many coins are based of ETH and they are also on myEtherwallet so you can collect them in one wallet.

ETH will surely rise to 1k. I hope so if ETH does that i would be very rich.

[Tomohisa]

It will one the GPU mining become impossible just like in the old day with BTC.

[Mr. Disruption]

I truly believe that ethereum will increase the price in next year 

[djselery]

Yes Ethereum have the potential to get more success and popularity in the near future. Nowadays the ETH's price is already increasing slowly, but in my opinion it will keep rising for long time as so many big investors started recently to trade ETH and buy it because it is always needed for investing in ICOs and for trading tokens. Holding ETH for long period could being really profitable.

[PalindromemordnilaP]

That's not far from being realized if today bitcoin is gone for good. Almost every ICO's yesterday, today, and for those who are still in the plans of these brilliant people behind these ICOs, ETHEREUM serves as the crib of their tokens. We can't deny that majority of ICOs are really using ERC-20 compliant tokens giving ETH fame and honor.

Bitcoin has seen surprisingly little innovation or evolution. While many cryptocurrencies have undergone significant and enterprising pivots in their roadmaps and offer better technology yet bitcoin still rule the cryptocurrencies scenes. the bitcoin community is committed to maintaining something close to its original design.

in other hands developer still overwhelmed by the recent 2 major bugs that cause a massive amount of losses money, well we don't want our future cryptocurrencies that are not safe.

[Willitivity]

Ethereum for sure will surge ahead in the future, even though the price drop for some months have been very bad, with a mere gradual recovery.
But in the next few years to come, I think ETH will match up to BTC, although Bitcoin will still be higher.

[Dralarn]

If you do the calculation, it is possible

If ETH is going to trade for 7000 dollars, it's market capitalization would have to reach 700 billion, which might happen in many years. The entire market capitalization of all coins is currently at 200 billion and ether's market share is about 15%, which isn't bad. If that market share will increase by let's say 30% then and the future market can will be about 2.5 trillion, then we'll see Ether raising to that much. It's a long way but definitely doable if you ask me. We've already seen this major shift from traditional money to virtual and now we're seeing the same thing materializing in thanks to the Blockchain technology. Everything will be tokenized in the future, if that happens, Ether will be so much more than just 7k.

[eddyhalim]

bitcoin is the secondary popular altcoin on the market, and it has many advantages than even bitcoin, like fast and secure in transations, aloso bigger block and more stable then bitcoin and the price now is higher than before and still have a great future to replace bitcoin.

[BTCGOLD]

In next year ethereum price can achieve 1000 dollars because bitcoin falling so it will be good investment but probably can not grow like bitcoin

[Miderian]

Ethereum can surpass them all, but he have weak spots too.
I think it's gonna win first place, we just need to wait.

[deadthings]

This is the best investment opportunity for whole world... Even for newbies and pros... Just trust in etherum cause price will be like 1000$ in future.

For me it will be the coin number one in near year, just wait for one of the biggest pumps in the crypto history.

[catapult]

According to price charts, ethereum has started to reach good prices again. I think it will recover its price again and it will reach better price levels which it didn't reach before.

Since I was being in the forum when the bitcoin price is around 300 USD. Now ethereum shows that kind of move in the price chart. Showing price stablity more than 6 months till now. I think we can trust the ethereum same like bitcoin.
It gives a way to invest more amount and in ICO and smart contract project. According to me one of the one of best option.
