Can ETH reach BTC value ?

[D-Fault]

I think it can, if it becomes more widely accepted, although this could take years to happen but anything can happen if more people use it in future because it has great potentials, remember Bitcoin didn't reach it's current value in a year.

No it cant. Its just like to say "a Dollar might overcome the gold". Ethereum is an altcoin and it's based on Bitcoin, its not competing it.

[engrlodi]

I think it is not possible but it will makes time or years to overcome bitcoin. If the ethereum reach the marketing of the bitcoin then it is not possible to reach the bitcoin. Bitcoin has a good investors and there is many investors as well ethereum but in ethereum should be more consistent and more stable to have more investors and can reach bitcoin. Many people are interested in investing in other coins so it may cause in investing in ethereum let us predict that it can be closer to bitcoin. Nothin can say what will happen in the future.

Just wondering if ETH can

Unlikely - you're asking if one ETH token can reach $17 racks?

Do the math on the total market cap

With RSK coming shortly it makes it that much less likely

[dantheman666]

If eth gets more support than the bitcoin community then eth can surpass bitcoin. It all depends on how much support each crypto gets from the people. But I cant see it happening just yet. Maybe years from now.

The real question is - can anything? Bitcoin has a really high value and it will continue to rise, maybe even to around 100.000 USD.

Let's see if any share or currency had such a big value in the history.

Dollar was nowhere near before the inflation brought down it's value: http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/
Record holder for shares is Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A), which is trading around $300,000 per share (with around 1.200.000 of them issued; there are also class B shares with around 15.000.000 issued and value around 200 USD, just to note).
Record value of gold was around 1.900 USD per ounce (28,35 g).

Let's try and compare Bitcoin to Warren Buffett's share.

Bitcoin is currently worth around 17.000 USD with 16,785,462 of them in circulation.
WB is worth around 300.000 USD wih 1.200.000 in circulation.

Let's roughly devide WB with 16 (Bitcoin is 14 x more scarce). We get around 21.400 USD. So it does have a higher comparable value when comparing with Bitcoin. However, as I previously noted, Bitcoin could go much up, and I predict 100.000 EUR. Then for sure it will be the highest valued individual thing ever (well, except maybe Neymar).

So the final question would be - can we really predict anything about it when it will be a unique thing in human history (if it is not already)? Not at all.

On the down note, I believe that nothing will be able to surpass Bitcoin for the time being. Bitcoin is still a synonim for Bitcoin market which has yet to accept many new investors and they will continue to invest mainly into Bitcoin. However, Bitcoins market share will gradually decrease and we will se what will a distant future bring.

Maybe in the future who knows we can't predict what will happen in the next year's but maybe eth will get closer to the price of the bitcoin

Well ethereum reaching bitcoin value is very hard as bitcoins supply is limited which is around 21 million but ethereum has a huge supply.Ethereum do have potential to rise more but bitcoins demand and price is very huge compared to ethereum if bitcoins prices has dropped due to some reasons like very high transactions fees or etc then ethereum has some chance as people will switch to next best coin which is ethereum but bitcoins with people supporting it is just invincible i think.

[Emperor of Man]

Yeah, why not?

ETH price is rising fast and right now it's more than BTC price in January 6, 2017. Maybe someday it will beat bitcoin's price, specially now that BTC ain't suitable for small payments no more (softwares-games-...).

[digdags111]

BTC is the window of investment.
As long as the market size continues to expand, beginners first buy BTC.
However, if more exchanges can purchase ETH directly using USD or EUR, the ETH will soar.

[explosion]

I'm sure it can and it will in 2018. The question is if bitcoin stops raising. Then it will be even more easier for ethereum  

[Tashi]

It’s possible that Eth can reach BTC value. I do believe that Ethereum has the potential to have a value as much as Bitcoin. All that eth needs is more demand so the price would be pump

[KTPU777]

And here I doubt that the etherium will catch up with bitcoins for the price. Bitcoin in the future will remain the first in price. And no altcoin can not prevotiti. But this is my opinion and you can disagree with him.

[cryptotitan]

Probably not,ethereum didnt solve what BTC's problems it wont happen in the future,more altcoins has a lot of advance tech with these two giant coins they are the new candidates to take the BTC's position.

It could reach BTC value but I would not expect that bitcoin would remain a dead end without any growth, so this would be a coin that would not have the same value at the end of it all with bitcoin. They will all keep growing and we all know how domineering bitcoin is in the market, so I may want to consider that as well. Nevertheless, they both have potential, so I would not discard anyone.

[Marteel]

Well, BTC is the king for the market. I think this will never happen. ETH will be more expensive at the end of 2018 for sure. But BTC will be far expensive. It is BTC market and how good they are the others will remain as "altcoins" for some more time.

[solenn heussaff]

I think it can get very close, i don't know about passing it but very close.

I am a fan of ethereum but i dont think that ethereum can reach the bitcoins value or bitcoins price right now or even in the future, because bitcoin is too strong for ethereum so i believe that ethereum is we will just always 2nd the best cryptocurreny here in cryptoworld. And eventhough eth can not reach bitcoin value it will be more stronger this year.

[kenzruiz]

i don't realy know about ETH can do this, but in ranking 1st. is BTC & in some days i guess ripple will take that place in ranking.

Ethereum is really good altcoin and i know that it is the best altcoin so for me ethereun has a good chance to reach the bitcoin value but not in this year 2018, ethereum can really come up or can really reach bitcoin price maybe on 2022, in that way a lot people is we will be rich.

[Humpert]

I really believe  the possibility to reach BTC values are always posiible with the trend that is going on with ETH now. If only it will maintain or increase its trustworthiness to crypto user and its value will go up on the coming years. anything will be possible for ETH. Bitcoin may be on the top now but there will come a time I guess it will break loose out for another to pass its value.

[macoinz]

i think it could not reach the price of bitcoin because bitcoin is the main currency that all users and investors uses. eth is only a altcoin but i think the price of eth will increase in the future but it could not reach the price of bitcoin.

[Raffy11]

Maybe there is a possibility that ETH can reach BTC  value but it will take a longer time to reach its value.
