Winner of this year, ETH or BTC?

[stunedi]

I think that bitcoin will retain its leadership and will remain in the first place in the cryptocurrency market.

[Ceyebrity]

Ethereum seems to be gaining more popularity that bitcoin nowadays owing to the emergence of tokens that are ethereum based

[asjdhjnz86]

According to this, Ethereum and bitcoin will be the winners of this year in addition to many other altcoins. I am sure this year we will start to see big profits from now on.

btc still king of the crypto.  there are lots of bigtime btc holders who are quite influential.  it won't be easy to turn the table around this year or next year.  but btc may be toppled some day in the future, probably by it's own hardfork.

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?

bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrency, and bitcoin is the first one in crypto. Of course this year's winner is a bitcoin, and until whenever. for ethereum will always be under bitcoin.

Bitcoin will still remain number 1 and Ethereum will still next to it. And we all be the winner if we invest to both of them until the end of this year because it will going to set an all time high again.

the winner of this year is fiat 
and in the near future, bitcoin will hold the leading position

The two strongest and most stable coins. One lives with trust and honesty, just as real oldie and favorite of millions. And the second will just live while still living at least one altcoin.

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.

I think btc will have more chance of pumping because btc is down and all this bear it will pump and i know it will be a crazy one

Yes, Bitcoin is very low in price now and it cannot go below 5000$. I think soon we will see full bullish market and it will be the time when we shall see new heights of bitcoins.  This time everyone is hope full that bitcoin will cross 50K by the end of this year.

We'll see the development until the end of the year,
whether bitcoin can indeed pass 50k or not yes,
and I am also optimistic that this year's winner seems to be a bitcoin of course

[hySyn17]

I believe with BTC coins because currently the price of bitcoin is still decreasing and not yet rising therefore I am sure the winner of this year's coin is Bitcoin while for Ethereum now also go up and because I know if the price of Ethereum decreases the price of bitcoin and altcoin will go up and can returns well at the end of the year

You have answered the question yourself. Or have you asked your self why dollars is the standard universal accepted currency even in countries they are at war with? despite all other currency doing better than dollars its still the one accepted in different places  just  a standard is a standard .

[Domst]

We have to wait until the end of the year to say with certainty who the winner is,I think bitcoin.

Sure thing Bitcoin will keep his leading position, as it is the trend setter for 98% of coins on the market.
Needless to say that you must have bitcoin to be able to buy some particular altcoins.
Ethereum is not bad at all, i really like this asset too and i believe that there will be some great changes in the ecosystem of ETH in 2018, but i don't believe that ETH can overpass bitcoin, at least in the near future.

[InKiTy38]

the two bitcoins and ethereum are fighting in 2018 they have moved in spite of the fact that their prices are not perfect yet the values they bring us are wonderful they deserve coin win of this year

[Amokomowo2005]

We cant just compared now since we still have several months to the end of the year but am certain bitcoin will be the winner..

[valintino7]

For now I think Bitcoint remains the top among the other coints, until now ethereum can not compete with bitcoint, but for the next few years we do not know yet, because it can not be predicted

[Ociwiw]

At the end of the year it will be seen, but Etherium is not yet ready to make such a breakthrough.  This option is possible in years 2-3 years.

I will place my bet on bitcoin, the lightening  network  which will encourage  mass adoption of bitcoin  has seen massive growth in last couple of months, and should institutional funds start pouring in, I think the first choice will be bitcoin. ETH is not doing badly though.
