Winner of this year, ETH or BTC?

[zimochka]

Definitely at the price Bitcoin will be higher, but on the promise of currency and technology - Ether has already overtaken it. Despite the small percentage of non-scam projects, they all add weight to Ether

I don't think etherium can surpass bitcoin this year. But if bitcoin will not improve itself, eth will eventually surpass btc and become the first coin in near future.

[iigor]

The biggest winner is always Bitcoin, but I think it is well deserved. I don't think this year will be different and Bitcoin will be the best.

[Aum Ram]

I think that this year the etherium will win. We all used to think that bitcoin is invincible. But this is not so. Ethereum has every chance to become this year a coin number one.

[Alohadanc3]

The competition between BTC and ETH has no point.BTC is like the godfather of all crypto.So there is no question that people always trust BTC over all crypto.So BTC remains the number one all time even in long future.But I think eth also is a very good project.No doubt ETH is most powerful crypto that people trust after BTC.Eth can grow more than BTC (in % not price)
But its will be very hard to take the 1sts seat from BTC.I like both But I Love ETH over BTC though.The chose is ours

[dobidobi88]

I believe with Eth who already pocketed more transactions than bitcoins. But this year I think bitcoin will still lead because the difference with eth is still too far. Either bitcoin or ethereum, if both success exceed last year's price, then both are winners.

[Chrisjay29]

Its so hwrd to decide which of then is the winner of this year. Because ots too early we even not yet reach the half of the year. But prediction still bitcoin will win on this year

[altsMlk]

Its BTC. Bitcoin has a monopoly among all other coins. Eth also a big competitor for BTC. But I do not think that Eth can hit the line where BTC stands. All other coins, tokens depend on BTC.

[godfredmanu]

Bitcoin is a market leader and Ethereum will always follow. Check coinmarketcap and you will notice any directional movement of bitcoins has a direct relationship with the price of Ether.But not the other way round. The fact that all ICOs or altcoins are using Ethereum smart contract is not a guarantee that it will bypass Bitcoins. Bitcoins is king and Etherum is queen. I will agree with that but not that they can be equal or Eth overcome Bitcoin.

[mariangpalad]

Ethereum is indeed a good platform which are commonly used by most of the altcoins today,but it doesnt resolve the network's problems of bitcoin which is why it wont have any good chane to surpass bitocin this year,it will only be possible when the shortcomings of bitcoin will be fullfilled by ethereum such as slow transaction confirmation,blocksize,and network congestion.

[cryptotnak]

I wont be so sure about ethereum,as it is being dumped by most of the investors,miners have switch to other coins like ethereum classic because the difficulty has been increased which is why it was dumped to hard few months ago,it doesnt resolve any issue of bitcoin so it will have less chances of getting bitcoin's position,you should have sticked to bitcoin as it is in bull run today.

[Fedor07]

Ethereum will be always on the second place , ok , not always but in the next 5 years at least becouse bitcoin its the king of crypto , he is better then ethereum , he has a bigger value   , bitcoin is the winner this year and will still be in the next couple of years . Its gona take a lot of time for ethereum to pass such a huge value   , mayhe will reach 5000k $ in 2 years from now but not more then that.

I cant find any reason why would ethereum is going to surpass bitcoin this year,ethereum does most of the transactions in the cryptocurrencies everyday but it doesnt mean that this platform will ever surpass the king,which is quite impossible as of the moment as ethereum have the same problems of what bitcoin has,that is why smartcontracts and d-apps are worthless.

I can't say who's the number one list in the market in terms of prices because theres a lot of remaining days in year 2018, the prices changes immediately and the bounceback is unpredictable. A lot of coin has a potential also, for now where hoping for greater value of each coin so that everybody can benefits.

[emanbea07]

I think bitcoin win always. Because bitcoin is secured coin and welknown and the price is very big than the ethereum.

[hastag_80]

Hello everyone!

Recently, I was thinkig. Is there really any reason for the BTC to be the market leader? The only thing that is giving the value to BTC is pretty much the fact, that it was the first crypto currency. It is the grandfather of all cryptos. But we know it has its flaws... It was never designed for broad usage, it has scaling issues and so on.

On the other hand, we were given ETH. The Crypto Kitties or w/e the awesome internet meme ETH appliction is called showed us, that ETH network has issues with high amounts of usage. BUT, 90% of all altcoins are based on the ERC-20 standard, brought to us by ETH. The smart contracts using the Solidity are extremly good piece of technolgy.

So my question is. Do you think, that BTC will keep its leadership, or will ETH be the winner of this year and surpass its ancestor?

Will in real talk as of now ethereum could not surpass the bitcoin as a leadership in all major coins in terms of price value and popularazation,but maybe in the near future we  dont know what will happen,because only i can say that ethereum have a great capacity to become rival of bitcoin, because it is the second among all major coins with the highest value in the market,and only coins that have  code of  ERC-20 that is usable in all transaction espescially  in making accelaration transaction in MEW wallet.

[Cocoincos]

I think that Bitcoin just  more famous than ETH, But the leader is ETH ! Also I think it will grow in % in much more times that BTC

[CryptoSheikh]

Btc is the king and will stay as a king! Don't think flippening will happen in this year or any year soon.. At least when you mention cryptocurrency the first thing people will think of is bitcoin. So new money will flaw into bitcoin, also it's technology being improved (lightning network)

[nolestiket]

Considering how the ether began to grow, I think he will win, Of course not this year, but in the future. I'm waiting for news about the imminent update.

[junjunsalsalani]

Ethereum is indeed a good platform which offers both smartcontracts and decentralized applications,but it doesnt resolve the network issues of bitcoin such as faster confirmation tx ,larger blocksize than bitcoin,plus the lightning network should be implemented so that ethereum might have a good chance against bitcoin because theres a lot of new projects out there.
