Can Ethereum Really Overtake Bitcoin?

[feelideb]

My answer is yes. There is nothing bitcoin is used for that ethereum can not also be used for. The smart contract capacity of ethereum network for all intent and purpose make ethereum to valuable more than bitcoin or in terms of real life use.

Over the past few years, Bitcoin has become the hallmark of crypto currencies, being the first popular currency as well as the most popular, and has attracted many to invest. Bitcoin has made quite a few millionaires, and has attracted the watchful eye of governments and rich entrepreneurs alike.

As bitcoin rose in value, it spurred the creation of many other cryptocurrencies, including litecoin, Dash and ZCash. However, among the thousands of alternative coins, or altcoins, none have gained as much traction as a new competitor who entered the market early 2015: Ethereum. Similar to other currencies in the sense it was probably inspired by Bitcoin, Ethereum, provides a key additional function that many other currencies lack: uses outside of a peer to peer transaction base.

But does Ethereum really have the potential to overtake Bitcoin?

Ethereum is the second coin that is currently popular after bitcoin is true that Ethereum has become one of the magnets for investors who want to invest in crypto. The fundamental question of what you have explained above is whether Ethereum will be able to grab bitcoin to be the first crypto currency and to match bitcoin in the future. Based on the above question I think my prediction for that is that until now there will not be any of the other coin types that will be able to exceed the bitcoin value to date. I can summarize this because I think bitcoin is an icon where the very first crypto type in the crypto world is a virtual investment that most investors demand for investing. this I say because based on history where from the beginning of the growth of bitcoin as crypto currency and then followed by some other altcoin species and until now can not match the greatness of bitcoin. and then I think that nowadays there are many people who want to run an offline business with payment system using bitcoin, and I think that also makes bitcoin can be very great until now. with the presence of this, of course, this means it will make the demand for bitcoin more and epeknya of course will further strengthen the value of bitcoin itself.

This is a great discussion.   How does BTC having a limited supply and ETH does not affect the future market cap of the two coins?

[Sadlife]

No altcoin can surpass bitcoin they're even having a hard time proving theor worth especially bitcoin has gained much attraction from merchants and other countries accepted it. In terms of price value and market cap with $120 billion it has far surpassed altcoin and at the same time decreasing they're price.

No Ethereum will never overtake Bitcoin. There can be only one market leader and Bitcoin will be the only one

in my opinion, yes, ethereum have the possibility to outpace bitcoin.Just like bitcoin,  ethereum may explode in value,it has many capabilities compared to what bitcoin can do.  Ethereum has more chance to be the representative and the typical cryptocurrency of the society, because of its features like being used for building applications and the transactions can be done within just a minute, although Bitcoin is more valuable . Ethereum's value didnt spike yet like bitcoin but it is prefered because of it being stable,also anyone can mine ethereum which is not possible in bitcoin but it is high risk high reward.  

[hachiman13]

I don't think it could overtake bitcoin at all.  Ethereum's problems are worse than that of bitcoin ie. scalability and security. Another thing is bitcoin has always been the pioneer of cryptocurrency so it is just as natural that newbie investors would put their money in it first, Ethereum being only an option.

[shirackjs]

Although Ethereum is a good coin but I don’t think Ethereum can overtake Bitcoin. BTC is the market leader and always be.

[DroidR17A]

Well, if things like this keep happening, it will be a long time yet before ETH can claim the mantle of crypto king.

Ethereum can grow high but never will be better than bitcoin. Always will be second. Bitcoin is first and probably last coin whose will be so much worth

[paloloy]

I think Yes but not today. Some Altcoins has the potential of being the next Bitcoin in the future. Bitcoin is the most expensive cryptocurrency today so people could only afford Altcoins for their investments.

[Aureliusy]

If Ethereum would Overtake Bitcoin, it would be the beginning of the end for cryptocurrency. ETh= TOKEN, BTC = COIN.

I think only ethereum has the potential to compete with bitcoin, maybe the ethereum is still very stable and only slightly increased. but maybe in the next 3-4 years, ethereum will be something big as do bitcoin. ethereum only takes time to reach it all, I am very sure of it.

Yes ethereum is the one of the coin that can compete but in the way on surpassing bitcoin i dont think so that ethereum can do that i always trust on bitcoin and ethereum but not in a way that i beleive that it can surpass bitcoin , they have both make a name here ethereum stand by itself no oofend but not in a way to surpass the number and most trusted coin.

[Gloria_16]

The etherium of the transaction is faster than that of bitcoin, this gives him a chance to become a leading coin compared to other crypto-currencies.

[Noxmfs]

It has huge flip potential and I strongly support it. There are still many bugs behind it but Vitalik is really doing a great job. I do believe it has potential to be really big, even bigger than it is now but only time will tell.
Even though bitcoin is bound to be number 1, it will soon become a valuable asset not for trading purposes.

[Sanglotslongs2]

In software industry, dev can update their product anytime, anywhere. Software in blockchain are inamovible because the blockchain is decentralised. It need a lot of security. Whitout it, you have DAO, parity etc. So, keep it simple or do better audit. It can be a hardtime for ethereum if it doesn't found a proper balance for smart contract.

[UsernameBitcoin]

This is absurd. Ethereum already had a hard fork and it's about to implode when it switches to Proof of Stake, if it makes it that far. Look at what happened with Parity. More and more people are trusting the Ethereum network less and less and this will be the end of it soon. This is what happens with centralized money and young immature develops who think they're experienced.

Exactly, Bitcoin is Powerful than altcoins, Since Most of The Countries in the World are adopting Bitcoin and some of it are shown off that Bitcoin can be use for the Progress of Economy, Even thou Bitcoin's Value Goes Down, The Price of Altcoin cannot  be Equal To Bitcoin. I have Been Into Any Other Project's Like Participating Campaign that Pays in Bitcoin that Become Successful Why? Because  Bitcoin Developers of New coin Cannot Promote Their Project Succesfully if They Pay In Alts.

Ethereum cannot Beat Bitcoin Because Bitcoin proves a lot Than Ethereum and any altcoins.

[sinduarianto]

I think it might be because we do not know the future of Bitcoin will decline or even rise again.
