Will bitcoin be replace by ethereum/ripple

[tosindesign]

Ethereum has been use widely for ICO purchase which have given this coin a high recognition. And also ripple has been on test for her technology in financial institutions to use since it can process trasactions than bitcoin. Will these two coins replace bitcoin and become number 1 on the coinmarketcap

It doesn't seem likely. Bitcoin still has very large dominance over them and I see it only getting stronger in the future. As much as I appreciate Ethereum I think it will soon begin to be replaced by the next generation blockchains, bitcoin probably won't face this problem because it is unique and will always have the first mover advantage. Ripple - hahaha.

Definitely won't be either of these coins. Bitcoin has the first mover advantage and the whole cryptosphere shakes when bitcoin starts dropping, but not vice-versa. Next generation blockchains might have the potential to overthrow bitcoin, something like NEO or EOS, but they would need significant backing to do so, and probably wont manage it either.

if bitcoin continues to be unstable, then perhaps these two coins will take the leading positions in the market.

Some authorities are trying for ripple to control the economy but i don't think it is possible. A lot of advertisement have been made for ripple end of 2017 and we can say they succeed a little bit but now i can see a lot of negative posts about ripple.

Some may think that ripple is supported by banks and it will replace bitcoin but wait, everything changes on long term situation.
What's the main idea of crypto? Anonimity and privacy + ability to send money from any place to anywhere with just one offline/online wallet without banks.
So ripple isn't it, we can easily say no to it's possibility to replace bitcoin.
But etheteum is great opponent, it can really be seriously bitcoin's N1 enemy on first place.

No one knows, maybe later down the line, yes. They are so different, perhaps they will happily coexist as #1 and #2 forever. What is interesting is that Eth seems to exist quietly and comfortably in the background while Btc is constantly the topic of debate. It will take a huge jump for ETH to surpass BTC at current marketcap. Again, it doesn't seem likely to happen very soon with how strong btc's popularity is.

I personally think you are on the right direction. In my opinion, the chance for BTC to be replaced at the top of the crypto market is increasing progressively. From these two coins, I think Ethereum has a greater chance of doing this, due to the centralized nature of Ripple.

Yes, im also agree to you. There’s a high chance of possibility that Ethereum will replaxe bitcoin in the top of cryptocurrency. Well, We all know that Bitcoin is the King of Cryptocurrency but Ethereum has a higher demand right now. Many investors are investing in Ethereum rather than bitcoin because of its possibility to increase its price. But, we cannot predict future. We just need to wait for the results.

No one know but I think that will take so much years because Bitcoin has the highest volume and price as compared from all crypto currencies. Bitcoin is the mother of all currencies. Bitcoin is also worldy known and being use by many merchants as alternative mode of payment.

[royalbittinz]

In the world of cryptocurrency anything can happen... Today Ethereum is gaining more ground as most compaines prefer it to bitcoin, even at that it will be difficult for it to replace bitcoin. If at all it ever happen, it will be a very long time.

[Alfarizi]

I think all of altcoin will not be able to replace the position of bitcoin because for me bitcoin is very strong to replace instead to replace bitcoin to approach bitcoinpun prices may take time and process that can not be counted or unimaginable how long so in my opinion or essentially there will be no altcoin capable of replacing bitcoin

Totally agree with your opinion.

[barbiecover]

only if they change name to Bitcoin or to Beethoven

[budz0425]

I don't think that any coin can replaced bitcoin as the mother of cryptocurrency, of course they cannot do it, because bitcoin has high demands and is widely used already so the name bitcoin will never replaced by any cryptocurrency.

This will never happen. This is how to compare gold and the currency of one country. Moreover, these crypto currencies are designed for completely different applications. And least of all, it is worth comparing bitcoin with Ripple, since Ripple is not a decentralized crypto currency.

[Rascar Capac]

Ripple, that seems impossible. The area doesn't have a good enough reputation. Ethereum, why not, in terms of market cap. The possibilities are much greater than Bitcoin and ETH pairs are becoming more and more numerous. Maybe we'll have the famous flipenning !

[Tyrantt]

if you ask me, I'm not sure if it's going to be these two or any of them but in the future bitcoin will remain as main investment and biggest coin, while there will various alt-coins to replace it at some specific areas like gambling, buying online, smaller purchases and even countries having their own crypto...

No, Bitcoin won't be replaced by either Ethereum or Ripple. They differ way to much to conquer with each other. Ethereum was created to handle smartcontracts, tokens, dApps and so on. Ethereum doesn't scale really good, it has performance issues for example during distribution of tokens of a big ICO. As far as I remember, the price of Ethereum's transaction fees surged in December thanks to the release of crypto kittens which were nothing more than just images of cats. Ripple technically was designed for payments, but I don't think anyone (beside bankers) would trust a centralized cryptocurrency. To create a Ripple wallet you have to spend 20 XRP, that's a big disadvantage for me.

Bitcoin will not be replaced despite the continued rise of better coins in any case than Bitcoin, the newly emerging coins will only add to the fame of Bitcoin in the wider community..
