Winner of this year, ETH or BTC?

[mmo4me.2016]

I am also looking forward to the market recovery in the near future. All my investments are devaluing 3/4.
Hope to change in the future!

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 only say this two coins has done many things to the people who invest their money in crypto currency. Although they are the same in price level, but they have a great profits in return.And for me this two coins are the winners.

There is only one winner, and that is ethereum. From the beginning this coin has proven its superiority, when in the beginning it tried to survive the pressure of the government and today ether was able to put itself in the shadow of bitcoin. This is a proud achievement.

At the present time, it is not possible to say that Bitcoin or Ethereal Copper is the best coin in 2018. Because we need to wait for the coin to rise in the last three months of 2018. highest. At present, the value of this two coin is declining in value is equal, if the current comparable, it may be that bitcoin will be the best coin investment should be at the present time in.

I don't see ETH surpassing BTC.  ETH has its own fair share of flaws and limitations.  The crypto space is evolving, and expanding so quickly that by the time BTC is passed up (if it ever will be) ETH will be just as ancient.  There will always be something newer and brighter coming down the line.  That being said people do gather around what they know, and BTC has the greatest/strongest reach for name recognition.  If mass adoption is the goal BTC will be the rabbit hole...... of course that is all based on the current environment..... who knows what tech is about to be developed.......

The biggest winner this year is bitcoin. Ethereum, though, hit $15k. But it was met with panic selling by many investors.
Bitcoin once again accounts for more than 50 percent of the total market value of cryptocurrencies

[Incognito01]

As we see this year BTC dominance is increasing and now it is more than 50%. But Ethereum preparing large technical upgrade in October and this can force the price of the ETH to push upwards. Therefore, so far everything remains uncertain.

[Toing_Jr]

Both coins are very different, but ETH network conducts more transactions at a higher speed than bitcoin, 99% of the alternative coins are based on the ETH network, judging by the use of of course the ethereum is much better than bitcoin, but now it is too early to talk about the winners, because the launch of new networks means there will be more opportunities and the situation can change at any moment.

[andeonnut]

The winner of everything right now seems to be BTC. Nothing except for a few alts seem to be able to stand up in price.

[automatikal]

I think Ethereum and Bitcoin have common features . I think that BETH will not be able to achieve the market capitalization of BTC, at least this year.

[obermorley]

I think that this year Ethereum will not be able to break the bitcoin records.  Bitcoin will also remain a leader in the cryptocurrency market for a very long time.

Being the author of digital money may just seem insignificant to a few yet it seems all that could possibly be needed for me to keep up its best spot, administering each other cryptographic money. It isn't just the way that Bitcoin is the dad of cryptographic money. It is likewise the dad of blockchain and decentralization. Without Bitcoin, we would not have ETH and LTC and whatever is left of altcoins. Be that as it may, this year there may be a greater benefit for ETH hodlers than BTC hodlers

[malik2003]

99% of the elective coins depend on the ETH arrange and ETH organize directs a greater number of exchanges at a higher speed than bitcoin,, based on the utilization of obviously the ethereum is vastly improved than bitcoin, however now it is too soon to discuss the victors, in light of the fact that the dispatch of new systems implies there will be more openings and the circumstance can change at any minute.

[swftlu]

I think the biggest winner this year is still Bitcoin, because the dominant position of Bitcoin is increasing, I believe Bitcoin will continue to maintain the leading position in the cryptocurrency market.

[DumbLefty]

I think that no matter who will in this year main. In my opinion, it is important that this year the growth of the entire cryptocurrency began.

[Teraboy]

I think that this year Ethereum will not be able to break the bitcoin records.  Bitcoin will also remain a leader in the cryptocurrency market for a very long time.

there will be no winner this year and the situation will remain the same bitcoin on the first place and ethereum at second place. It will be the same because both are the coins that can't be considered as security token and that's the point about that.

[goodday886]

i do not think so. bitcoin has a long history and is well known to most people. it is widely dispersed throughout the world. bitcoin has become an encrypted symbol. ether can't do this.

[TontomHit]

I can agree, that Ethereum has the better technology behind, and even a better use case. But the reputation is an extremely important factor, and in that, Bitcoin is way ahead of Ethereum. Maybe in some years, it can change though.

[Clearstream]

i think it is possible. if there is no ether, the encryption market will be very depressed. Ether created a smart contract. many new coins were born on the platform of the ether. ether has been innovating. bitcoin has not changed.

[PJRLJRAC]

I think soon we will see the development of the Ethereum, so currently is a quite decent time to purchase a coin. Ethereum is a steady coin, so you can expect 1000 by the new year. What's more, obviously, we will sit tight for Vitalik Buterin's guarantees to be made on the Ethereum. In the case of all is well, this will influence its cost later on.
