Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

It certainly has the potential to surpass Bitcoin, not because it's better (Ethereum is a clusterfuck for so many reason) but because so many big companies are backing it because they are holding bags and big whales holding bags means a big pump to exit the market must happen sometime in the future. The problem is, ETH continues to underperform against BTC, and most people buy ETH with BTC, not with USD... so unless it starts performing great against BTC, I will not bother. I want more BTC gains, not more USD gains while I lose BTC (and that is what ETH is doing thus far, look at the charts). In the long term ETH will collapse and BTC will be #1 for a lack of a better alternative. |

I think sir the first largest cryto-currency is bitcoin. Because it is the root off all coins out there. If there is a chance maybe Ethereum would be the second largest cryto-currency. There are so many competitor coins out there like litecoin and waves for examples but if most companies would backing up ethereum there is a chance that this would happen. |

Yeah, Will you always keep using Bitcoin even though the fee of each transaction reaches 100$? In terms of features, Ethereum is far superior. |

No bitcoin is crypto CURRENCY, it exists only for this purpose so it is more meaningful for bitcoin to be always #1 and biggest and most known one. We should not compare them.

I think , Ethereum will become the world's first-largest cryptocurrency maybe two or three year later. Ethereum's price will be about $10000-$12000.

NO!
Though Ethereum is doing quite well in the market these days, but that doesn't mean it will keep doing the same in future as well (it may, but I don't think so). We have seen the Ethereum network being compromised more than one time in past, and it used to be the reason for a lot of people to lose their money. I don't think too many people would like to keep their money in Ethereum for long term like how they do in Bitcoin, because we have never seen such things happening with Bitcoin other than the exchanges getting hacked which has nothing to do with the quality of the coin and if anyone lost money in exchange exploits it is all their own fault for keeping the funds in exchanges for long times. So basically, I think Bitcoin would always remain on the 1st spot as long as cryptocurrencies exist in the world.

In the long term ETH will collapse and BTC will be #1 for a lack of a better alternative. Why will ETH collapse? And why wont BTC collapse in that case? |

In the world of crypto currency, there are so many coins that have the chance to become the world's first crypto currency however, if we take into consideration the value and rate of growth, together with the number lf investors and progress of its yechnilogy, only a few can compete and one of them is eth. Eth has a chance to be the first but it will take quite a long time.

It very well may become the largest currency out there, being a base for so many tokens and all that. High transaction cost won't kill it with raiden networks release.

yeah. I agree with your opinion. bitcoin will still be the top of number 1, and even in my opinion, if ethereum will offset the bitcoin price itupun difficult and need different things, let alone be number 1. and it is true most people believe with bitcoin. but I still hope that ethereum will remain popular and continue to grow under bitcoin. |

Yeah, Will you always keep using Bitcoin even though the fee of each transaction reaches 100$? In terms of features, Ethereum is far superior. Not really. Ethereum is a step backwards when it comes to having secure money. When idiots can flood the network with "cryptokitties" then using Ethereum as a store of wealth is stupid and the fees in Ethereum are going up too and eventually you will only be able to afford off-chain transactions. When the fees reach 100$ I guess I will use Litecoin for smaller transactions. The Bitcoin fees are supposed to go down a lot once segwit+schnorr+MAST kick in, we will also get to find out if segwit blows up or not. |

I do not think it will be possible in a couple years as everything is btc based at the moment in the crypto world, anyone entering the crypto world buys btc first, so i believe eth will take few years before that can happen.

Nothing is constant has change, I can't vividly say that Ethereum will supercede Bitcoin but I can say both can become side by side competitor, but nobody knows the future yet so don't let decide let it come.

For me, yes, as it's better than Bitcoin. Most of my coins are ethereum based so I'm comfortable using it more than bitcoin. Bitcoin takes days and sometimes weeks to get through now which is quite annoying. |

I think it could happen, because the volume of ethereum sales is always active compared to other coins. I also think that what can compete with bitcoin now is ethereum.

Bitcoin is already the "first" largest, but ethereum might be the next and I think it is the first largest ALTCOIN, if ethereum reached the price of 2000 dollars this year then I think it will be the next to bitcoin's throne.

What do you mean first largest when we all know that even before Ethereum was conceived, Bitcoin was already here and have been ruling the world of cryptocurrencies? There was no point, even for a very short time, in the entire history of cryptocurrencies that Bitcoin was surpassed by any altcoin in the top place. From the moment crypto was created, Bitcoin was the one ruling it. Ethereum comes second only. |
