It was bitcoin 2017. It will be ethereum 2018.

[xPPx]

With MAJORS, yes. It was Bitcoin in 2017, and it will be Ethereum in 2018. However, unpopular altcoins do 20X all the time...

[Russlenat]

I hold lots of ethereum hope what you say will be true in 2018 <3

Yeah it is true just hold it and you will see the outcome if it will rise to the moon but it is in the moon already now it is nearly 0.1btc per 1 eth.

[stanstan]

In order for Eth to hit something close to 20k, the market cap must be huge! I'm not seeing it with these regulations that are threatening the cryptos. Investors are afraid.

[prince05]

i would say it is possible. but still ethereum will not beat bitcoin price this 2018. it might pump a bit but i would say the farthest ether might reach is around $10k this 2018. umlike bitcoin. BTC has been there for many years now and widely accepted anywhere in the world, as for ETH it is still on infancy stages even our own widely know and used wallet in our country does not support yet Ethereum, so maybe by time that ethereum will be highly accessible i would say it would make much attention resulting in high demand on the investors, high demand with little supply will surely make it’s prices skyrocket..

[copperminer]

Well if BTC does $1k to $19k why not ethereum ? is a great platform to use and most of the new coins are based on ethereum.

I think technically ETH is over Bitcoin, but just remember it also was ethereum year in 2017 it climbed form 10$ to 371$ and now to 1.3k.
Still bitcoin will be a reserve currency for a while since it is more easily accessible/buyable than ethereum, but since bitcoins transaction fees are ridiculous this could change soon.

[kiddeon123]

The year 2017 was the year bitcoin with $1000 and ended with almost $20,000.

Will it be wise and reasonable to say that this year will be ethereum year looking at what is happening now in the exchange floor?

yes! I think that every coin has a big posibility in the market this 2018! bitcoin did it and I think other coins can. And etherium is one of the major contender for that place this 2018.

[mrcastelo]

Yes there is a big possibility that this year will be ethereum's year due to increasing price of ethereum as well as tons of ICOs ethereum based and most payment accepted for ICOs are ethereum.

[minldem]

Yes, ethereum always seemed to be a big alternative to the bitcoin. I also think that ethereum has a huge potential. However, for a while when you want to send your ethereum from mew to other exchanges or when you want to trade on etherdelta, you face high gwei prices and under that you have to wait a lot. If ethereum corrects these problems, it would very powerful this year.

[synapsisxxx]

Ethereum has this smooth and natural growing curve that is wonderful, also this platform now has most authentic and large realtime business, with more to come. But lets not forget that ETH too got the huge boost due to bitcoin itself. The day when ethereum market cap exceeds that of bitcoin, if that happens,  will mark a historic day in crypto!

[gredisgold88]

keep holding firm, price btc can crash 5000 $ , sweet touch at the price 9000 $. while ethereum is a good years , some devs start paying dividend according to what is a meant by their whitepaper. this will increase 30% every month.

[madgtr]

I would definitely hope so. ETH is a great coin and it would be very nice to see it rise even more. And a lot of people wanting to buy now.

[cryptonoob312]

2018 will be definitely a year of altcoins just like 2017 was a year of Bitcoin whose potential is over. Technically altcoins are more advanced: faster, lower fees and smart contract support. For example, Ethereum's potential is huge. Ethereum is more advanced than Bitcoin and is also a platform for other services. I'm sure it will be Bitcoin's successor in the future.

[nambunamba]

ethereum sure are one of big coin. there will be hard fork but it was canceled. i think this would make ethereum become stonger cause i dont agree hard fork make coin became solid. with new coin. it only devide the real value of the coin. itself so its futile.

[syaripudin]

all may assume an increase in the ETH price that will rival bitcoin but that's all just an assumption because of the price increase on the current HH and it can not be a measure that the ETH will outweigh the value of the bitcoin price. I say it like that because I see from some previous years experience where it happened exactly as it is today but in the end bitcoin again shows its existence as the best crypto with price increase which is so signi cant so it can happen again something similar like what already occurred in the year before.

[1020kingz]

Yes the price of ethereum is very promising, though it cant be equal of what bitcoin price right now but its price is risi g and it surpases bitcoins price hike in a day or week. Yes maybe this year maybe ethereum.

[undeadbitcoiner]

Yes the price of ethereum is very promising, though it cant be equal of what bitcoin price right now but its price is risi g and it surpases bitcoins price hike in a day or week. Yes maybe this year maybe ethereum.

If Bitcoin drops same way 2 more days ETH will be the highest CAP currency and looking at price movement ETH price is hiking up while Bitcoin price is going down, After all the FUD ETH is still in a good shape, Bitcoin will be back soon and in the mean time ETH wil hike its price again. My looking at $3K soon, Hoping before End of the year. Good Luck

[kingcrypto-the2nd]

from april ethereum will have its push

[gd432]

In my humble opinion, ETH/BTC will never even touch 0.11 again in 2018. The huge number of unsuccessful ICOs and why-isn't-this-going-to-moon-already altcoins will drag the ETH price down, and BTC's market dominance will be fortified.

[tung06081989]

yes,i thinks so,this year is year of eth,eth is used more and more,i hope the end year eth reach 4000-5000 usd

[candy69]

You can't rule out bitcoin, it is a very volatile currency. But, Ethereum has been showing a very good potential over the past few months, so there is possibility that Ethereum would pump hard this year.
