I think this will be possible in the next few years. But it is not now with any chance.

[askmecrypto]

There are over 100 similar threads created with exact same question.
Well, first of all, you must understand that there is no logical comparison among Ethereum and bitcoin.

Bitcoin is created as an alternative to regular money and is thus a medium of payment transaction and store of value, Ethereum is developed as a platform which facilitates peer-to-peer contracts and applications via its own currency vehicle.

If your only sense for comparing both is the market capital, then my answer will be "It could be possible, but it will take years before that happen".
There are a lot many uptrends around Bitcoin, with lightning network coming in place and FOMO money driving in Crypto, the Bitcoin dominance is supposedly to increase back above 50%.

[rizkyhiw]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

Lots of threads like this, and the answer will remain the same. Eth will not replace bitcoin, bitcoin is the mother of altcoin. So many of us misunderstand this.
If competing prices it may happen, because eth is like a mandatory alternative after bitcoin.

[AlexaSonda]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

obviously not. you should first understand what is bitcoin and ethereum. what is its difference and what is its purpose.

[Herbert2020]

no matter how many times you and thousands of other newbie "accounts" ask this question, it won't come true and the value of the bags you hold won't go up because of it. you will make more profit if you sit down and pray to the pumping gods to pump ETH for you sooner so you can dump your little bag and make a little profit while the whales of it make millions from your naivete.

[leow]

I think it is quite possible, but the basis of the Ethereum contract is produced a lot of ICO, this coin is very popular and shows growth faster than bitcoin. The fact that Ethereum will become a cryptocurrency top 1 there is no reason to doubt

[Rahman11]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

I think have lots of questions and canid answers about this kinds of threads in this community! ethereum can't overtakes bitcoin as popularity and also fiat price. bitcoin yet to most trusted usable best payment way as a cryptocurrency.

[lasencja]

There is couple of coins price is more then 1 btc.

[Pierre 2]

There are great doubts about this but I think it is probable but unlikely. Bitcoin is trusted.
Ethereum doesn't have that much transaction or wealth saving value too. So I don't know.

[Saveplus]

I thinks its not because we all know that bitcoin is the mother of all crypto and it would never replace by any coins.It has more stability and brighter future due to its strongest value in the market.It is most trusted by any other coins also in payment system.

[target]

It won't replace bitcoin but it sure is one of the top token if you look at it on coinmarketcap.com. In terms of popularity, BTC is always been the first and most merchants and stores online accepts BTC compare to ETH. If one day there will be more and more ETH accepted to stores, its possible that it may replace BTC but I guess the rest of the altcoins are also going to rise and will also be known like BTC. Who knows XRP will be accepted on stores because of its massive adoption.

[Azzam Khalif]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

no word is impossible. surely there is a possibility for Ethereum to be the next coin that can be made the future. this can be seen from the growing Ethereum development. seen from the demand is also more and more current.

[D3m1r4wanti]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

very likely, ethereum will become the largest virtual currency in the world to replace bitcoin, although the price is still very far but in the future it is probable that ethereum can replace bitcoin

[PaPog]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

There is a possibility that ETH can take BTC's position in the top,
Nothing is impossible in cryptocurrency space, i also think the same as you, ETH's price is so stable for now, i think it can replace Bitcoin in 2019 or 2020.

[royalcrypt]

Bitcoin will always be a mainstream coin. Ethereum can take second place after it.

[pogpog10]

I don’t think Ethereum will ever replace bitcoin and became the flagship of the crypto world. That doesn’t mean Ethereum is not good enough , it’s really good but when Ethereum reaches the number bitcoin has right now , bitcoin will be like 50k or something. Bitcoin will always be the top coin as i believe.

[toddy47]

Again another duplicate topic about this... It has been asked hundreds of times and been said hundreds of times that the time are not comparable: apples to oranges.

[pharaon]

At the moment, little is believed that ETH or any of the other tokens can replace bitcoin. Bitcoin does not give up positions and its share in the market capitalization is still great, and the growth of ETH is not yet pleasing, for me it is a mystery.

[alex lionel]

i never believe that any altcoins maybe replace bitcoin
If there isn't bitcoin, altcoins won't have value.

[azalea69]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

I think personally may be because Ethereum is also a good coin. there are currently many who interest in Ethereum coins. so Ethereum is improving.

[Babayan]

I think that Ethereum will replace btc in future, because bitcoin has no practical functions that has Ether, so a lot of people will be dissapointed and sell their btc and the price fall down.

[vastmast]

I dont know but they are really different coins. When you go anywhere in the world today you can find millions of people to chat about bitcoin. Ethereum is not so popular.
Bitcoin is very special and first

[rucapri0]

Of course she has a chance at it. However, I think there will be segmentation for the purpose of the application, smart contracts are for example ETH, and speed and anonymity eg DASH

[dificanovi]

I think ethereal will not beat bitcoin because bitcoin price is always the top most of the other coin. I would argue that if ethereal beat the bitcoin price it would take years and even decades.
so far bitcoin has become the most popular coin for investors because this coin is more famous than other coin, there are even countries that accept bitcoin as a means of payment.

[mkhjhv]

I dont know but they are really different coins. When you go anywhere in the world today you can find millions of people to chat about bitcoin. Ethereum is not so popular.
Bitcoin is very special and first

Bitcoin will eventually be replaced because as the blockchain technology matures, more technically and qualitatively priced coins will emerge. Bitcoin is now in position because it is the first cryptocurrency, and the other cryptocurrencies are in its Basic research and development, but can not go beyond. But I am looking forward to one day a coin will replace bitcoin.

[idioma1]

I do not think so. Bitcoin will never be replaced by any coins.It is the most stable and trastful cryptocurrency ever.

[richaerich]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

Everything is possible in cryptocurrency.. but i don't really think that Ethereum can beat or replace Bitcoin in to become the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world,
i think Ethereum will be in the top 2 for a long time, even in the next year, Ethereum will always mantain its position in the second place.

[gangem07]

i never believe that any altcoins maybe replace bitcoin
If there isn't bitcoin, altcoins won't have value.

No its impossible.In the way back bitcoins price are bigger than ethereum at the placing market cap bitcoin is about 280$ billion compared to the 44$ million of ethereum i dont think eth could replace bitcoin.

[apityeh71]

In my opinion Ethereum can make it. Because this crypto give many benefits to the cryptocurrency community. Could be this happen in 2 or 3 years, the team founder also has some inovation to make ETH has many features.

[bigboss2]

Surely it will.
In the coming years, Etherum will surely replace Bitcoin. Etherum is much more stable than Bitcoin. Also it is gaining public support much fastly.

[vycl87]

Never. It is like that, bitcoin is king. Yes Ethereum is now very strong but it is not enough. The market is still very strong in Bitcoin dominance. when Ethereum starts to move independently from Bitcoin, then we can talk about this again. In order to be able to do this, there is a need to diversify the trading of Ethereum in the Stock Exchange. Ethereum has both profit and loss in new tokens. Ethereum has to gain market independence for empowerment. It is not possible for today. If the answer to the problem is perhaps one day it will rise very much, but it's never as BTC.

[leynylaine]

Bitcoin and Ethereum are created as separate projects. Meaning they have different purposes. Bitcoin is a an alternative to banks, and Ethereum is created to make regular exchanges and trades.

[codered000]

I personally think Tha ethereum will reach the point where bitcoin is right now but when that happens bitcoin is far more ahead Ethereum and bitcoin don't have the same purpose and platforms that's why they can't replace each other. Ethereum depends on bitcoin so I think it cannot replace bitcoin.

[sumonrud]

It won't replace bitcoin but it sure is one of the top token if you look at it on coinmarketcap.com. In terms of popularity, BTC is always been the first and most merchants and stores online accepts BTC compare to ETH. If one day there will be more and more ETH accepted to stores, its possible that it may replace BTC but I guess the rest of the altcoins are also going to rise and will also be known like BTC. Who knows XRP will be accepted on stores because of its massive adoption.

Yes, right it is difficult to replace bitcoin. bitcoin is bitcoin because bitcoin is mother coin. I think wouldn't possible. bitcoin is more popular than Ethereum. I think Ethereum price will increase but not overtake bitcoin price.

[Bakemat]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

It is difficult to predict or to know because in terms of investing,this too have a good match. But in terms of price the bitcoin is more expensive than the ethereum so it is difficult to inveet if ypu don't have enough money. In terms of stabilize the ethereum are in the leading. So my opinion is, yes. It is possible that the ethereum replace the bitcoin

[vv181]

There is nothing impossible, in this early stage of highly speculative cryptocurrency worlds. The technologies are still young, there is still a lot of unexpected and interesting happen in the future. The Ethereum flippening is one of them. Let's rewind back to the last ETH flippening, when everyone talking about Ethereum will surpass Bitcoin in all aspect especially the market caps, we can easily see both cryptocurrency graph is almost tipped each other market cap. But it didn't happen and then Bitcoin becomes the king yet again. I'm sure that possible scenario could happen soon.

[ErlindaBit]

The huge price difference between Ethereum and Bitcoin makes me not believe that Ethereum will replace bitcoin. Ethereum only has a stable price. While Bitcoin prices are predicted to continue to rise.

[jalaaal]

Of course she has a chance at it. However, I think there will be segmentation for the purpose of the application, smart contracts are for example ETH, and speed and anonymity eg DASH

ethereum is nothing but an altcoin, there is no way that ethereum will replace bitcoin. I know ethereum is a good altcoin and we can all see a future on it, but I can say that bitcoin has the same, that's why there is no way that ethereum will replace bitcoin.

[royale143]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

In the cryptocurrency market, you must know that everything has a chance to happen and everything has a possibility. However, to consider how Ethereum and Bitcoin compare at present and judging how they have improve since their respective onsets. Then, I would say that even if Ethereum has run a good path, it still has a long way to go to catch up to Bitcoin in terms of marketability, and most certainly, in terms of value. Therefore, it would take year to even say that Ethereum and Bitcoin are of the same footing.

[prabhu]

Ethereum’s smart contract technology makes corporations very interested in its real world applications. Ethereum price predictions for 2018. If it exceeds it, price will triple. Perhaps future ethereum will replace Bitcoin.

[Strongball]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

I would like to believe that with everything we've seen and experience so far with cryptocurrency, the odds
keep changing and everything is a surprise every now and then. Anything can really happen here, it
took quite a long time for bitcoin to be what and where it is now, it's the same thing I can
honestly say with Ethereum. Time is all it takes really, it has every bit of potential to
be big as bitcoin or beside bitcoin. Bitcoin is the undisputed king of crypto, no
question there, it's monetary value in the market will say it all. But it's the
most fluctuating currency there is. Ethereum is different, it does not
fluctuate dramatically compared to others. It's a slow but steady
currency who holds crucial applications everywhere. I think
it has potential, but in the years to come. Give it time
to grow, mature and prosper.

[Cryptoadviserncounsellor]

Right now the network is a bit too slow for most mainstream applications.
"Bitcoin is processing a bit less than 3 transactions per second. Ethereum is doing five a second. Uber gives 12 rides a second. It will take a couple of years for the blockchain to replace Visa", Founder Vitalik Buterin said.

Ethereum never had the intention to have a value like bitcoin, but investors invested anyway spotting the opportunity. If we talk about the growth of Ethereum this past year, we can surely see that it has grown to more than 4000% while bitcoin has grown about 600%.

It is definitely possible that Ethereum could overtake Bitcoin one day, taking into consideration that Bitcoin is being so often debated, while Ethereum just works silently in the background. However, Bitcoin’s price still remains way bigger than the one of Ethereum.

If you’re a trader or investor, be realistic about the bubble. I know you hear this a 100 times when you’re trading but: don’t invest what you can’t afford to lose.
I have some Ethereum, not as a long-term investment, but because the price is going up and I need it to invest in tokens which I can quickly flip as soon as they come on the market.
That’s just the type of market we’re in.

[MartoValenti]

At the current moment or even in the upcoming year or two, for me there is no way Ethereum to replace Bitcoin.
For now, Bitcoin is not only the main coin in the Crypto World. Bitcoin is the trade mark of the Crypto World. If Ethereum became bigger than bitcoin in the next 1-2 years I am not sure if this will be ok for the whole Crypto World as marketing, because a lot of people won't get in the crypto, because they simply do not know about ethereum, but everyone knows Bitcoin.
The marketing aspect of the situation before the whole World is very important guys, because if the crypto stays at this levels it won't develop. Crypto must grow and the only way is by making more people to have faith in it and for the moment, for good or bad, people know more for Bitcoin as coin than Blockchain as technology...that's the truth...

[Boi qaaf]

May in the coming next few years. But for now, BTC rules.

[redfin31]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

that's very hard for now, especially different price between ethereum and bitcoin. but nothing impossible. ethereum always grow up every years and always on second place (after bitcoin) best than all coins.

[Bdstar]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

Maybe, Already ETH has become an established currency in the blockchain system. most of the coming coin or ICO are using ETH address for paying the bounty campaign payment. So it can be a strong opponent of the Bitcoin in the future. I think This Canadian based Virtual currency will play a pioneering role because of their price is still not vulnerable. So it makes a great sense for the future purpose.

[CokeCoin]

Ether can replace bitcoin because btc is old and heavy, it brings profit but how long can it last? The ether is functional and I think that in the future it will spread to all spheres of life.

[Casmania]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

So it makes a great sense for the future purpose.

In my own interpretation, we all know that ETH is second in terms of ranking in the cryptomarket and regarding to the the subject, I believe there could be a possibility for ETH to replace BTC but definitely may take a little longer. Bitcoin may somehow have a short comings regarding the transaction rare limit which needs to be fix where Ethereum has already evolve a bit faster than bitcoin. Currently, Ethereum has already acquired a higher transaction limit and is able to react fast. For bitcoin to retain the lead, it should step up it's technology and innovation to be able to improve it's transaction concerns to gain continuous support from the investors.

[icecream sandwich]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

There are chances that they can beat the bitcoins but lets just know the bitcoins are still having the tops spot and having a lot of inevst6prs and that thing is hard to beat so for me there are a slight chance that the ethereum can beat the bitcoins because if the bitcoins continue that kind of behavior and the ethereum starts to rise up them what will happen is theybare the one that will be recognized and the peoplw will switch into them in order to gain more money

[Road445]

I think the ETH can replace the BTC, became the leader of  cryptocurrency market., but it seems still need a long time, when the project is more and more successful based on ETH, then the ETH is likely to surpass BTC.

[xKARELx]

I think that everything is possible, this coin is very strong in itself and has an excellent team .. of course there is still much to develop this coin, but this she is now busy

[cheezcarls]

In my own understanding about Bitcoin and Ethereum, it's all about the store of value and smart contracts. Bitcoin is the king of all cryptocurrencies, no question about it. However, BTC is just a store of value whereas Ethereum and other mainnet such as NEM, Universa and others are being used by various ICOs for creating and distributing their tokens to holders and bounty hunters.

For me, I think there's no way Ethereum could get past Bitcoin. Just my two satoshis.

[Vart4varta]

Do not forget that a significant number of bitcoins is considered lost in the initial stages of the existence of the crypto currency, when the value of "digital gold" was extremely low, while the owners of the ether were well aware of its possible value.

[X - Mas]

everything is possible,
so, in my mind, the future ethereum market capitalizations can replace bitcoin, just for a while
but, the price of eth can't reach bitcoin price

[ChiBitCTy]

no matter how many times you and thousands of other newbie "accounts" ask this question, it won't come true and the value of the bags you hold won't go up because of it. you will make more profit if you sit down and pray to the pumping gods to pump ETH for you sooner so you can dump your little bag and make a little profit while the whales of it make millions from your naivete.

Or better advice would be to inform the newbie that the two are non-competing coins and that this isn't even a debate we should be having.  We could intelligently debate which coin has more upside sure.  ETH has potential and writing all Alts off isn't smart investing. 

[snakey]

I think that everything is possible, this coin is very strong in itself and has an excellent team .. of course there is still much to develop this coin, but this she is now busy

It is possible but with what probability?? I am sure that even eth will be outdated in coming decades as more and more projects will dum upon data on eth blockchain then making transaction on eth blockchain will be costly like bitcoin today.

[Creating N Action]

For me, it  defends on the people in  which they patronize. As far as  I know , Bitcoin is the reason why crypto currency become more familiar in all sites. Bitcoin was the first crypto currency that was been  created by know people/organization. For me , Ethereum cannot be replace bitcoin because this is the best crypto currency and it support by many investors. Bitcoin is very strong and powerful than ethereum although ethereum is too good for investment. It is hard to say wether it  can replace or not because we are only a human being ,and we don't know what would happen next.

[StevenCS]

Why not?
now ethereum is already the second largest coin after bitcoin. it may be that in the future ethereum will surpass the bitcoin, but it has a rather small chance, but not impossible. and I hope ethereum will be the biggest cryptocurrency.

[sateyaam]

if seen from its growth should Ethereum (ETH) able to compete with Bitcoin price (BTC) in the future but ETH will be very difficult to equal to BTC price, because of unlimited stock.
we can hardly conclude that Ethereum has not been able to become a major competitor of Bitcoin in terms of value of savings and exchange rates

[ChiBitCTy]

There are great doubts about this but I think it is probable but unlikely. Bitcoin is trusted.
Ethereum doesn't have that much transaction or wealth saving value too. So I don't know.

Seriously? A legendary member who's been here as long as you thinks this way?  

ETH has 81 billion dollars of traction, the second on market cap size.  Not to mention non-competing coins.

[Pokemon Go]

I believe it will happen in a very long time to make ethereum replace bitcoin.

[snowbubble]

I think in terms of 2-3 years etherium can beat bitcoin, but there is always chance what bitcoin will make some new changes and keep his top1

[LUCKY21]

It seems to me that the etherium will never replace bitcoin. Well, altcoin can not replace bitcoin. Bitcoin is one of a kind. All the rest is just altcoyins. And bitcoin will remain the first.

[veraoktav127]

ethereum is an alternative coin we can have besides bitcoin so I do not believe that eth will replace bitcoin in addition to the price that is too far and also bitcoin already known by people

[Mr Batman]

in my opinion it would be difficult to make ethereum replace bitcoin.

[mitchr4]

If that is possible why not, we not know what will happen with eth coins later on. Moreover, the price of ethereum currently equal to the bitcoin price years ago. But bitcoin currently still going strong every time so it will be hard for eth and other coins to beat it

[Restmand]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

Yes, there's a chance that the ethereum will replace the bitcoin. Ethereum is a trusted coin like the bitcoin but it is more affordable and reliable than the bitcoin,because the ethereum are more afford by people the bitcoin price is very expensive to invest and i am sure not all people can invest it. Compare to the ethereum ,more projects now and it is affordable.

[darshansetty]

No ethereum cannot replace the Bitcoin because as we all know Bitcoin was the first crypto currency introduced to the world and also the value of the coin is very high and no other coins can reach the Bitcoin level not even ethereum also

[judeafante]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

Yes, there's a chance since they are number two in the position, the only thing is if they have a competition like what happen to litecoin with so many coins coming up with better features it is dethroned from its second position, but since there is no threat to their position they are likely to succeed Bitcoin if they have a big update that is better than Bitcoin.

[emmybd]

At present, Ethereum is nowhere near to bitcoin, but you can't predict anything about cryptocurrency. Who knows Ethereum would start to pump and reach the peak by the end of 2018. It has got the potential to do good in future.

[Latviand]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

I don't think so, bitcoin is the father and first cryptocurrency in the world and we know that there are many user's of it. Like in the online shopping, in the online shopping, bitcoin is used by many people although bitcoin is banned in some countries but bitcoin is center of all altcoins and we knoe that the ethereum is one of the altcoins who basef only the price and value on the bitcoin. So i doubt

[normanderecho]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

I don't think so, bitcoin is the father and first cryptocurrency in the world and we know that there are many user's of it. Like in the online shopping, in the online shopping, bitcoin is used by many people although bitcoin is banned in some countries but bitcoin is center of all altcoins and we knoe that the ethereum is one of the altcoins who basef only the price and value on the bitcoin. So i doubt

I think no because ethereum is very big gap of price of bitcoin and theres many persons buy a bitcoin because of good pricing but its nice also price of ethereum but its very small price but i think ethereum growth the price but ethereum canot beat bitcoin of price.ethereum is possible to beat the bitcoin because bitcoin now is very big price.

[Ozan9]

Etherium can not be front of the BTC because mining of etherium is too much and that causes decreasing value of the ETH. Therefore , If and only if ETH can reach BTC level , BTC icncrease.

[Nashorn97]

Of course the ether is better, it's time to say "goodbye" to bitcoin

[Alaira]

The same question again. I think hard for eth to replace bitcoin's place becausw i think bitcoin is "king of coin" and it will takes years. And then bitcoin is more versatile than eth so people will more like btc than eth

[MAUTMALAIKAT]

in my opinion it can. seen from enthusiasts ethereum increasingly day, and almost every ICO using ethereum, it is not impossible ethereum will be the leading altcoin. But for the above bitcoin in my opinion will not. because bitcoin will remain its queen altcoin.

[MaleKing]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

Anything can happen. I remember not long ago Ripple had a higher market cap compared with Ethereum.
So, if Ripple could've done that, than I guess, Ethereum can do that to Bitcoin.

[Moblie_Legend]

I believe it will happen in a very long time to make ethereum replace bitcoin.

if in my opinion it is possible that bitcoin can be replaced by ethereum but ethereum takes a very long time to replace bitcoin. because now it is ranked 1 in the crypto market is a bitcoin that holds a very high value

[Lovykitty]

it could happen, because Ethereum's increased demand is higher, while Ethereum, ranked number 2 in the world's most popular crypto currency rankings if it keeps rising may shift the position of bitcoin

[Malabarka]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

This is a complex issue. There is a possibility that Ethereum will become the most popular cryptocurrency. The air is already used in 90 percent of the ICO.
But it is very unlikely that Ethereum will become the most expensive currency.

[EHT7500]

Ethereum (Ether) is likely to do better in the next year than ever before, because all the people discovering bitcoin now are finding out about altcoins (several months lag) and the first one they will read about (or buy a crypto-kitty made of) with be Ethereum.

[IvyAguas]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

Even if bitcoin is unpredictable I don't think any coin will ever replace it or ever obtain what bitcoin does. Bitcoin is consider to be the father of all cryptos, ethereum on the other hand is very promising but not good enough to be on the top or replace what bitcoin has today.

[Gotumoot]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

There is a chance but its too low though , as you can see bitcoin is the king of all coins around the crypto world , but eth is going strong though , you can see that it has more potential than other alt coins. But it's not possible to surpassed the bitcoin.

[Siberian Husky]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

I see the price of ETH keeps on increasing and increasingly in demand in the market. Maybe ETH can replace BTC in the future, but to replace bitcoin takes a long time.
we wait for its development

[edison benzamin]

I think this is unlikely, but this market is not impossible, let time answer all

[R3ffun]

I think this will be possible in the next few years. But it is not now with any chance.

I also believe that Ethereum can be a leading coin. but for the time I can not be sure. but nothing is impossible, as long as Ethereum continues to increase the chances for coin success are getting closer and clearer.

[twinkledthomas]

Obviously not. Ethereum can't have that much capability. Bitcoin will be the king now and then.. But Ethereum is also having a good future.. By the end of this year Ethereum will be double in price

[voom360]

I thinks its not because we all know that bitcoin is the mother of all crypto and it would never replace by any coins.It has more stability and brighter future due to its strongest value in the market.It is most trusted by any other coins also

[ridho002]

I thought maybe that would happen, but not in the near future, maybe in more or less 10 years. That's my prediction only.

[LancelotRay]

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

This is a complex issue. There is a possibility that Ethereum will become the most popular cryptocurrency. The air is already used in 90 percent of the ICO.
But it is very unlikely that Ethereum will become the most expensive currency.

I don't think it has to be the most expensive necessarily for it to overtake bitcoin.

So long as it becomes just as, if not, more popular than bitcoin...

[kevingreen]

The gap between Bitcoin and Ethereum is still very much but going by past record no person should underestimate the potentials of ETH. For example as of January 1 ,2017 Ethereum price was at $8.47. Compare that with the price as at January 13 .2018  the price was $1432.this huge increase shows the possibility of ETH competing with Bitcoin for the #1 position.

[VBCryp@]

I think Ethereum can not pass bitcoin, The gap between Bitcoin and Ethereum is still very much. But Ethereum also has a good future, The rise of ETH shows that ETH has great potential and more and more people use it in the market.

[ICO Lancer]

Honestly, bitcoin has quite a lot of faults and drawbacks.

So, I think and hope that yes, ETH will replace it.

The only thing btc has going for it at this point is its price and hype.

[Haunebu]

The gap between Bitcoin and Ethereum is still very much but going by past record no person should underestimate the potentials of ETH. For example as of January 1 ,2017 Ethereum price was at $8.47. Compare that with the price as at January 13 .2018  the price was $1432.this huge increase shows the possibility of ETH competing with Bitcoin for the #1 position.

You make a good point, but you do realize that bitcoin has skyrocketed into the stratosphere just like Ethereum in the last couple of years. Bitcoin was a few cents in 2009 and it has reached a high of $20,000+ recently which shows why it is the king of the crypto world and this is definitely not the peak. As more and more investors continue to join the crypto world thanks to the growing popularity of bitcoin, it will continue to surge in value without looking back and am expecting it to touch $40k by the end of this year. On the other hand, Ethereum is a strong coin and will always settle for 2nd.

[Reena28]

Mmm..
I doubt that there is any other cryptocurrency or altcoin that can supersede bitcoin. At least not for the next 5-years. Of course there are many competitors like ripple and litecoin and of course Ethereum..
Time will tell in due time..

[Phily40]

Probably! it might happen but not in the near future.
Truly ETH this days has the highest order among altcoins and also we have there competitions among many cryptocurrencies but there is a wide gap between bitcoin and it competitors.
It might not be easy for ETH to surpass bitcoin and remain as the king of cryptocurrency.

Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?

I doubt it.  Bitcoin is irreplaceable.  Ethereum might be the top altcoin and might reach bitcoin value but replace it is impossible.  When the time comes that ether will reach the bitcoin value now, the bitcoin value by then will be much greater than its value today.  Bitcoin build its name through a long period of time and history can explain why bitcoin is the currency of future.  On the other hand, ethereum is still building its reputation and proving his capacity on the crypto market.  I think ethereum will never surpass bitcoin.

It is possible that Ethereum could overtake Bitcoin one day, taking into consideration that Bitcoin is being so often debated, while Ethereum just works silently in the background. However, now, Bitcoin’s price still remains way bigger than the one of Ethereum.

This comparison is nowhere to go. There are holders of their coins that are also believed that it's going to happen but I would say that it's a no. Look at the current movements, when bitcoin is going down it is followed by ETH and most of the other alt coins as well. They are all depending to bitcoin so stop saying that an alt coin will replace bitcoin.

Bitcoin is always a King of crypto currency world.Hardly say that one day Ethereum will replace Bitcoin’s position. The Ethereum is only good at Smart contract and Dapps. However i think by 2020 the price of eth will be about 20.000$ each. Mark my words by that time.

Its very unlikely that ETH will ever replace BTC, first BTC is the pioneer crypto and that cannot be replaced. secondly the market cap BTC commands is just way too big to be closed down, unless something really special happens, Bitcoin will remain at the top of the crypto  chats

This has been asked in many threads and my answer is invariably never.No doubt ETH is the most promising Altcoin and is based on latest smart contract technology,its community is increasing a lot,but it can not be compared with BTC.However in future if some unique technology more efficient that BTC is used in ETH then it can be considered compatible with BTC,ETH can not replace BTC.

I don't see eth replacing btc in any time soon, but i think it can happen in the future. Eth has a lot of potential and most Ico's platform are based on eth's platform but knowing btc's superiority, eth's chance of replacing btc is still far.

Bitcoin is the most significant cryptocurrency and its growth is inevitable. It is very early to compare it with Ethereum or other coin. Ethereum has all the prerequisites for growth, but it is impossible to catch up with bitcoin, at least in the next 5 years.

The next topic with the same question, and the next same answer: this will never happen, the Etherarium can only get closer to the bitcoin by capitalization, there is no need to wait longer.
