Why people want ETH to over come BTC

[fargoway]

To be honest, I believe in the progress of ETH more than in BTC. BTC is popular just because it was first, but in comparison to ETH, BTC is not very functional and not used so widely.
Additional point to ETH because of Vitalik

Maybe because they are bitter in bitcoin and decided to go to ETH instead and since they felt that they can get successful on ETH because they earned from it they would support it instead of bitcoin. But they know for sure that bitcoin will still be the best coin ever even if they are earning from ETH and they cannot overcome BTC.

Some of the bounty hunters using eth for transfering of their token. And ethereum blockchain is much faster and low fees rather than bitcoin and some of the ico project circulate in ethereum so the popularity of the ethereum increase because of the bounty campaigns.

They hold and invested to ETH that's the main reason why they keep on talking that way.

Don't you remember when cryptokitties flooded their network and they had high fees?

Personally, i don't worry much about fees. Now with segwit and lightning, everything will be much cheaper.

They are just reasoning it out and if there will be congestion to ETH's network the same thing goes for them, yeah I remember those cryptokitties.

Yes, I am also interested in this question.
In my opinion, bitcoin is our future, so we should hold bitcoin instead of ETH or other tokens.

Simple: They have ETH They all missed the opportunity to buy Bitcoin but it's not too late to buy and mine Ether. (Actually mining phase will be over in September, so it's not a good time to start ETH mining)

Also, Ether has a big advantage: Smart Contracts. It's possible to create your own token(s) (needs some developer skills but it's not that hard) and list them on Etherdelta or other exchanges...

[elusive1]

This change of positions want people who know little about crypto. Perhaps they hope that Ethereum will soar in price, as Bitcoin once did.
People do not understand what Bitcoin is for the crypto market.

Why some people want the Ethereum to over come Bitcoin in the near future? Is it because they make profit from ETH or what?

I don't know who wants that to happen,can you tell me how many people want that to happen?

But it won't happen anyway because the availability of ethereum is unlimited so it never can have demand as much of bitcoin do.

I think so, maybe you can see the ICO pile in this forum is also very easy for them to get money from the token ethereum built to earn big money, but I think to replace bitcoin I think it's quite difficult for ethereum

Those some people that you think of, do have big minds thinking that Eth can surpass bitcoin which is absurd. For me bitcoin is more trustworthy to skyrocket than Eth but we can't really predict the future so if you believe in the technology that you invested in then just let your hopes fly and hold every coin that you think will perform this year and be able to profit more.

As with the others, as long as eth is still priced with bitcoin then I feel eth will be difficult to develop, other than they want to develop their own and release with bitcoin.
but I am very convincing it is hard to replace bitcoin yet many nice altcoins that the body is currently and well managed.

Some think that Ethereum has more potential than bitcoin and that it has overcome some issues that bitcoin has. It has also a lot of potential to further develope in the future and to be more accepted in real life like bitcoin is.
Still I don't think Eteherum will take the bitcoin's place, it will remain at number two position and it will not achieve such popularity.

[ajochems]

The price of Ethereum is very low now. So it's very easy for the new investors to inverse their money and buy huge amount of Ethereum. When the price of Ethereum had raised 800$,the people who had invested on 400$ will gain 100% profit.To get the huge profit from low investment,the people want ETH over come BTC.

The block confirmation time of BTC is 10 minutes. Fastest this means that if using BTC for payment, you have to wait ten minutes to complete your transaction, and to be on the safe side you need to wait at least half an hour or so to confirm your transaction, if considering the network congestion, you may not receive all day BTC others pay to you.

ETH's packaging time is 12 seconds. The usefulness of ETH is bound to exceed BTC.

[PeRo]

Those people are probably people who didn't have money for Bitcoin so they bought Ethereum when it had a small price and now they are waiting for it to overcome Bitcoin so they could make a huge profit. Others are just trolls or just hate Bitcoin for some reason or no reason at all.

[Polly.Nochka]

Indeed, prices for altokoins grow and fall proportionally. Much intelligence is not needed to simply analyze graphics. All popular coins have very similar graphics. And it is hard to believe that the ETH will one day become more expensive than the BTC.

[ralle14]

They think that Ethereum is more useful than Bitcoin because of the tokens. These people could be investing in different kinds of tokens that's why they're confident with Ether taking over Bitcoin's position. Imo Bitcoin is still useful though and not a lot of merchant accepts Ethereum.

The scalability problem of Bitcoin is just temporary this won't be a problem in the future once Lightning Network is released.

The most common scenario that ETH is currently used is for ICO, and once the fad has passed, the value of ETH will decline!

People just want to make money from ico, which is why people like ETH!

Bitcoin is the preferred encryption currency for investment, and nothing can be surpassed.

How did you know people want ethereum than bitcoin you can make a survey or where is your basis on that,
But anyways ethereum had a good investment but they can't over come the bitcoin in term of investment holding of bitcoin are can make good profits bitcoin as know are the first choice of people keeping their wallet as investment than ethereum.

the reason behind some people want the Ethereum to over come Bitcoin in near future, because mew technology.  most of the peoples who like this kind of over come they all are bounty hunter this what I think.

[Sanu Simon]

I'm not sure about this, from my understanding people expect the ICO's to gain value. To attain the same ethereum needs to grow as majority were developed upon ethereum smart contract platform. Another thing is the difficulty in the mining of bitcoin, ethereum has less difficulty compared to bitcoin.
