I think you meant to say "flippening" and not "flippering" haha.

But it will be interesting to watch because ETH has certainly had a lot more usage than bitcoin over the past year. Although we owe this market's success to bitcoin, at some point we need to realize that there are other. dare I say, better alternatives.

Of course it is happening look at how bad BTC is getting punished worldwide with bans and concerns. If there was any time ETH was going to take over one would think it will happen in the coming weeks, BTC is bloody and down right now. Only question is will Ethereum snap up this opportunity?

I wouldn't mind a flippening. Eth has a lot more going for it, and seems way easier to defend on a lot of points to the public, such as energy consumption.
But big daddy bitcoin will probably go on another run as usual..

And what makes you think the same it is not going to happen to ethereum once it surpasses bitcoin in your hypothetical scenario? Any coin that is in the top of the market cap is going to be heavily regulated, regulation is not only going to happen to bitcoin but to all cryptocurrencies as well, so to think otherwise is a huge mistake in my opinion.

It is only a matter of time when ETH takes dominance. Bitcoin became much more an asset to invest in than a currency to exchange. If a currency is effectively used for real transactions (see majority of ICO's happens in ETH), it creates stable demand. If a cryptocurrency is only viewed as an asset, which is the case of Bitcoin, it could be severely influenced by market sentiment and speculative price movements.

Maybe...could be...but i think not. Bitcoin had bigger fight with Bitcoin cash half a year ago and it didn't happen.
The main reason is because Ethereum didn't delivered yet. Ethereum planed upgrades for the summer.

Is a double effect, on one side Ethereum has been partnering with large actors and heavyweights of the innovation arena along with quite a few investment funds. On the other Bitcoin major players have been ignoring their community for a long time, squeezing every last satoshi of fees and providing a mediocre service at best. No way this is going to work.

It is called the flippening, not flippering. A few months ago people predicted the same, but shortly after the bitcoin price shoot up all the way to 20.000 usd. I am expecting the same to happen this time

Ya I really think ETH has potential to take over BTC.

This could be good for the health of the market overall.  Time after time the media uses bitcoin as a scapegoat for everything going on in the crypto world.  For non-savy news viewers every bitconnect scam has something to do with bitcoin being a scam.  While that couldn't be any further from the truth, it lends to creating a bad repuation for the crypto market.  In addition to that, this flip may be well deserved.  Many of coins in the top 200 are ERC20.  It may not happen now, but I certainly think the flip will happen within the next year, or two.

As said , Bitcoin is being frowned upon by various bodies , it means they will also not accept alt-coins.  Although ETH has potential but is also not immune to issues faced by bitcoins when it grew larger and bigger (read transaction and slow network).

Flipping or whatever you call it, can also happen easily if Bitcoin is gone too low but that means alt-coins will also get hit.

[mikyadel]

i think it's just a temporary thing as btc keep going down where ETH maintain it's price that's why people converting their btc to ETH

[devollito]

Since ethereum have a real used case and its being used by many project it is possible for ethereum flippening with btc but not much it is maybe will reach 0.25 or 0.3 btc each ethereum. Market bloodbath today but the storm will be passed. It is maybe because panic sell in korean market but i still not affraid holding my ethereum.

[topesis]

Whether we like it or not, one or two project will likely surpass BTC market cap, but it will always be the big brother in the space, what is driving the prices of Ethereum really is the ICO market, as long as they can sustain this on their platform the price will likely sustain its upward growth, another thing that BTC need to resolve is the transaction cost and the speed, if these two can be resolved then I believe BTC will be back in the game

There may be a lot more improved and better than Bitcoin, but we cannot say that they will flip Bitcoin that easily. Ethereum is far better in terms of features. But Bitcoin is Bitcoin. They just follow what Bitcoin just started.

Never it happens. Bitcoin is a solid crypto firstborn. He is crypto standard and role-model. It's measure all other crypto coins. That's why all whales and big investors first buy BTC after another coins and tokens

Why not? BTC is old man. I think time to transfer leadership to young and quick. My opinion that 2018 year will be a turning-point for top5 in coinmarketcap

Bitcoin is the gold standard. It's what determines the price that all other coins trade at. Going to be pretty hard to topple Bitcoin from it's top position. Unless all exchanges were to implement ETH markets, it's probably not going to happen anytime soon.

ETH would only need to be about $1800 and have btc stay the same for that to happen.
Definitely possible.
