Winner of this year, ETH or BTC?

[Girtogoh3]

Bitcoin is the winner this year, although Ethereum is a good coin,has a high price potential,perhaps next year Ethereum will catch up with Bitcoin.

It's too early to talk about the winner of this year, at the end of the year it will be clear who won!

although ETH is designed better and with better technology but in my opinion still can not beat or even compete the price of BTC, somehow but of course BTC can not be defeated in terms of price.

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?

I think that it is not necessary for ETH to surpass btc since its a different story if we talk about this two tyrant in cryptocurrency. It is truly hard to say that ETH could surpass btc since BTC achievement is undeniable.

I think Bitcoin will still be a winner, Bitcoin is the main coin in Crypto and became the main hunt for investors so Bitcoin's position is very strong inside crypto, so it's very difficult for Ethereum to beat BTC.

BTC will keep its leadership and eth will always become the 2nd cryptocurrency
i believe there is no crypto can beat bitcoin

[LesterD]

btc will always be on top, if cryptocurrency is more developed than it was today, eth might win against btc, but eth is not enough and not fully develop to overcome it.

[snaper14]

personally I think the leadership is not related 100% with the utility of a coin rather it is related with the adoption and the media coverage of a coin. Which in this case seems to be btc still.

For now, however, the trend in the cryptocurrency market is not that strong and that is why most of the cryptocurrencies are actually down by more than 20% from their peak. In the future, Ethereum does hold a lot of potential.

[radenyoko]

i think is tough. BTC will still lead the price this year and ETH will not even get near to the BTC selling price. Although ERC-20 has great technology. In my prediction, BTC still leads for the next 3-5 years.

[Ubrfeh]

Well, depending on what you mean by the word winner , I think ETH is a more promising coin than Btc

[DeepGrott]

Ethereum is the better version of Bitcoin, while Bitcoin won by its price because Bitcoin was the first. Soon, Ethereum will beat Bitcoin.

As for me it is quite hard to say for sure because they are both strongly damaged after big dump in the firth quarter of 2018. But now Ethereum seems to be more perspective. Somebody even wait for ETH to be miner 1 the next year..

[keobonggon.xigon45]

I think this coins are very popular both the bitcoin and ethereum ,it is really hard to determined of the two which is the winner for this year, but for me  I will declare bitcoin as winner for this year 2018.

[roller24]

I highlight the following signs of leadership:
1. practical use of blockchain - Ethereum is the undisputed leader here.
2. Price-bitcoin leader. Ethereum in the coming years will not overtake bitcoin in price.
3. Capitalization-I think that by the end of this year Ethereum will overtake bitcoin by capitalization.

[zwiggel]

I think ethereum will win. Ethereum is the best altcoin today. The ethereum market is developing very strongly. Ethereum has better features than bitcoin so many investors choose ethereum. The price of ethereum is rising rapidly, which increases the confidence of investors.

[pivxmen]

There are no winners at this time due to poor market conditions. the winner will be determined later this year. and I think eth is better than bitcoin when viewed from the increase and decrease in price.

until whenever ethereum will never win against bitcoin in any way, we can see in terms of price until a few years too ethereum price will not be able to overtake bitcoin price, because when bitcoin price drops ethereum price also come down and it has proven that ethereum not will never win.

ETH is the first among its competitors, but at the same time Bitcoin is not a competitor to Ethereum and will always remain king of the cryptocurrency.

In my opinion, Bitcoin is always the number one, the altcoin and token can not cross the BTC in the near future! It takes more time

for Bitcoin that so many advantages are high enough it will be very capable of making it a precious coin going forward. besides that for Bitcoin who has been trusted since the long time is able to become a mainstay coin that prioritizes for a pretty good improvement in the future and become the winner of each period.
