Will ETH beat BTC someday?

[Apened]

I don't think ETH will beat BTC for the latter is first cryptocurrency and its name is already known to all cryptoworld..that's why its value increase up to $20k..maybe ETH will reach the value of BTC today but the value of BTC will also increase.

The price and value was different, and in order for ethereum to beat bitcoin is to surpass its marketcap sounds easy but it was been billions to pass just to beat bitcoin. I don't believe on it that it can beat bitcoin but lets take it to realize everything is possible in cryptocurrency.

There's a way that ETH will eventually reach the milestone that bitcoin reached.

But if the case is about beating bitcoin someday, let's end this discussion. Most of the people here are bitcoin supporters though they have ETH on hold too, the community is predicting that no coin will beat bitcoin.

Whenever in the distant future, the price of the Ethereum may overtake the price of Bitcoin, but not in nearest future (4-5 years). The Etherium has a very great potential, even in relation to Bitcoin, but right now Bitcoin more powerful.

Is there any chance that Ethereum will cost as much as Bitcoin in 2018?

For me, that is an absolute no in 2018. However, Etherium, with its smart contract,  will be a great bitcoin contender. I believe ETH will be able to beat bitcoin in the long term.

I doubt if ethereum will has the same price like BTC in this year, it is possible to ethereum to pass bitcoin price, but not in this year, maybe 3 or 6 years later. But we can't predict the price, if the BTC price always down and close from ethereum price, maybe it can be real this year.

In my opinion, ethereum is one of the most successful altcoins so far, and I think it wouldn't be an illogical prediction that, ethereum can reach the price and volume of the bitcoin.

[Kingsraid]

theres is possibility for that. but i think is quite hard. even with ethereum popularity right now. bitcoin still the king of crypto

[altercreed]

In my own understanding, BTC has really the big advantage than ethereum in the sense that bitcoin has already established its strong foundation and we can see it on its market capitalization and price. By just comparing these attributes, we can really see the big difference of the two which i think ETH can't beat BTC as long as BTC exists.

[stimliall]

Since the ICO was supervised this year, the price of ETH has been greatly affected! Too centralized, too long-term risk too much!
It is difficult for ETH to surpass BTC. The status of BTC must not be shaken!

There will be but not at the moment. Its too early for Ethereum to reach its hype yet. Its not fully matured and developed that it needs alot of preparation and plan. And that's what Vitalik Buterin doing right now. He's making Ethereum well prepared because he knew what will gonna happened if he let Eth soar high its peak at this early season. Ethereum might cost higher than Bitcoin someday.

I don't think that we will ever see it happen. Ethereum is very good, but Bitcoin is the leader. All crypto investors are following Bitcoin, not Ethereum.

In crypto currency everything is possible. Remember the end of 2017, the rise of bitcoin and all the altkoins. Although bitcoin is the parent of all crypto currency, the etherium has a very large potential.

[thrylos]

This gonna be hard for eth to beat bitcoin. I'm hoping to see this thing may come to pass but not much become bitcoin always has the control to all altcoins and etc until now remains powerless against it.

Even if there is a chance that Ethereum can beat the pioneer, it will take it many years for the coin to do so. Ethereum is much more versatile than bitcoin as it provides a platform for posting new ICOs, can be used as a token for smart decentralised applications and has a much more advanced blockchain.
Still, Bitcoin being the pioneer has the first mover advantage. Also with a market capital of $127 billion, the coin has a bigger community and is more widely accepted in the financial market. So, Ethereum has the potential but it will take it time to overcome Bitcoin.

That is true but about your last sentence: investors are following bitcoin not etherum, i don't think so, for me more experience people are just trying to follow both coins, they know how many aspects could happen for both of them and how big could be their price in few next months/ years.

[seymenyunus1654]

In my opinion, there is hardly any chance that ETH can beat the BTC in terms of value, popularity, reputation, user base / investment. Bitcoin has been known for creating wealth for many. That is always associated with bitcoin and it always captured the most attention in the community as well as investors. Over time, altcoin will become a balance of value as well as user base. The value of ETH will be difficult to make breakthroughs like bitcoin.

In 2018? not a chance. BTC and ETH are on a different platform and they dominate
different grounds in the market. Distinguishly both are very well known and popular
coins of choice and are successfully solid. BTC's prices can soar like a rocket with
volatile speeds, while ETH's growth is impressively stable beating BTC's own growth

[huige007]

their  is no chance to eth cross the bitcoin because every one trade in bitcoin and bitcoin is the highest valuable coin in market bitcoin have high demand then eth.

I am not doubt that ethereum has a chance to beat bitcoin someday,in the future.. but as you said bitcoin has big market volume and very huge community than ethereum.

Most of crypto users, including me, obviously prefer bitcoin to keep being number, we will not just sitting down if ethereum wouldl like to beat bitcoin. One of the reasons is we have invested more in bitcoin.

Bitcoin still be the number because of its popularity and being the pioneer in cryptocurrency, the trust and the perception of the peoples around the world is in the bitcoin, etherium has along way to reach the level of bitcoin.
