Ethereum will overtake Bitcoin

[randyg29]

I think It will not overtake bitcoin because for me I just use ETH for my second wallet and then I use to transfer it easily in bitcoin that I can use it in buying my daily needs that's why my first best currency to me to use is bitcoin.

I don't think ETH will overtake bitcoin personally... and I think NEO and EOS are big, very real threats to ETH.  Not trying to be down on ETH,, which i really like.  Just think bitcoin will remain king for quite some time.

I think it is possible for ethereum to be atleast the same level with bitcoin however we cannot say when. Next year is definitely not its time, that's what I think but who knows? As of now, ethereum is used for smart contacts and bitcoin is still holding the crown of digital coins.

I dont think that it will happen in the near future. Look at the price of both currencies, there is big difference. So, etherium will grow, but not so fast and not so high.

In the next year ETH will overtake BTC as the number 1 cryptocurrency.  I would unload your bitcoin while you still can.

There is actually a probability that it would. Seeing that Ethereum is on the top 5 list of the most popular altcoin and not to mention the fact that most ICOs actually prefer it, there's no reason why ETH could beat bitcoin. Although, I don't see this happening anytime soon since bitcoin's popularity continues to grow through the help of social media.

Ethereum being the second on the list does not mean it would but at the same time does not mean it may not.
Ethereum has really proven to be a good project and a good coin to hold, but we also have to understand that there are also some issues with Ethereum as well that would need to be solved.

No coin is perfect and i believe it is going to have to be a gradual process for most of the coins, and I do not expect bitcoin to stay without improvement in the long run.

Well, that depends on bitcoin miners and developers, will they be able to agree on major mods or not. Did you think about this: bitcoin developers can just copy and paste all ethereum code for smart contracts into bitcoin client code? This will be a new fork, which will be better than Ethereum in all possible ways.

ethereum can overtake bitcoin because ethereum enthusiasts are now much more, if altcoin is favored by people, then altcoin price will be higher, so ethereum can surely overtake bitcoin.

i do not think that it will overtake bitcoin because for me the bitcoin will the best crypto currency and the achievement it gets and also the price nobody can defeat it on single time maybe next year but next 10 years

With the way BTC and ETH work now - i doubt one will "overtake" the other. Just with prices growing new, cheaper cryptocurrencies will emerge, to the point when BTC is just for elite investors, where it's usefulness will either be extinct or it will suffer a dramatic drop, as a lot of people predict. But i'm not ready to claim that ETH will take BTC's place even the

[Mary_Swift]

I agree with the author of this post but I think that it will take a lot of time before Ethereum will replace Bitcoin in the leadership.

[ridertiger]

Yeah, there is no way it will happen. They are two different beasts and ethereum cannot be too expensive because it is used for ICOs.

[Mattwald]

Ethereum still has no real world use besides ico's. Unless you count cryptokitties which brought the network to a snail pace. Bitcoin for our entire lifetime should be the top market cap crypto. When you purchase a million dollar house nobody blinks about paying 6% fees. Bitcoin is not meant to buy a coffee and McDonald's but as a store of value and that is why I don't think ether with ever surpass it's market cap

[NJB18]

Ethereum for me have high possibility of overtaking Bitcoin but I find it hard to happen next year. Maybe earliest late 2018 but still I doubt it. Lightning Network is possible for Bitcoin in 2018 so that will delay Ethereum ambitions.

[GreatArkansas]

Its possible. I know ethereum has very large potential to boom, just hold and wait for it. I know ethereum is very great for long term investment, ethereum price now still low price, just wait on it. It will overtake bitcoin, I promised.

For me, there is no tokens or coins that will surpass the main coin of cryptocurrency which is bitcoin. Ethereum will never be overtake bitcoin in a million years in my opinion. They are both stable for their each price and both popular but bitcoin is much more popular than ethereum or any other coins.

I think so. Etherium is very huge supply, to overtake bitcoin is nearly impossible.
It is not because it is used for ico but because the supply. Only small or low supply can overtake bitcoin.

[Nowherman]

I also think that Ethereum has a higher potential than Bitcoin. The ETH is much more flexible and the transaction is cheaper.
In addition, there is a huge number of tokens on the Ethereum platform. All this shows that in the future Ether will take the leading positions
in the crypto-currency market.

Overtaken bitcoin would still a question, maybe getting nearer with bitcoin value can be achieved but surpassing the success of bitcoin can be hard, I also believe with ETH and its big potential to grow high after some time, but I'm still doubting regarding with the thread statement.

[ikrak3n]

ETH is pretty much all smart contracts, bitcoin is wealth storage and currency.

They're very different beasts and to be honest starting to show their age... I think next year is going to show massive changes unless both of these go 2.0.

Next year? This is blind prediction. I am really sure bitcoin will be still on top.
I know etherium is kind of good altcoin but overtake bitcoin is not easy.
