Major benefit of Ethereum?

[no0dlepunk]

Ethereum is getting popular day by day. People participating in ICOs they use ETH a lot. Ethereum is a smart contract.

But what does Ethereum do better that any other alt?

Nothing else aside from the stereotypic support from the Russians. ETH is really helping the blockchain technology and it simplifies the tasks for the developer's sake. ETH is also a good alternative for fund transferring and I also believe that it could be treated as an electronic cash.

A startup project that will produce tokens, certainly has the hope that their tokens will get optimal support from the community. And one of the details is probably the selection of platforms to adopt in their project. I think for that reason many ico are using ethereum as a platform, with the aim of optimizing support, as all markets recognize and accept ethereum.

can be seen now a stable etherum prices and very many benefits for those who want to invest long-term in terms of price is also not inferior to the appeal with other coins could be someday etherum prices can compete with BTC prices are still very high prices

Eth weapon lies in the smart contract, within the ico booming a lot of people using it for smart contract so eth become very famous within the ico developers, eth offer a very simple interface but with a powerful feature, and eth also already around for quite long and as long as ICO still coming out, eth will be triumph

It is decentralized, relatively more than it's competitor.
Has a large and dedicated community and is constantly evolving to solve problems.

I think there is no significant benefit of ETH. But it is getting popular because of its nature and acceptancy. People can get a good value here rather than other altcoins.

Etherum has exceeded its expectations and it seems to have a brighter future. This is the second most popular coin after Bitcoin. It's cheap and fast, and it adds unique smart contract features.

Ethereum has the main benefit of being a coin that produces more benefits. this is in the eyes of many people from every coin in the market. so Ethereum who has this benefit is very fortunate for his future with many enthusiasts who want it.

yes I agree with you because from day to day Ethereum continues to increase and hold so many people investing in bitcoin for the long term and invest in the short term for quick profits, but with the increase in price Ethereum little impact to the current Altcoin up and down

According to this, Ethereum is the first cryptocurrency with a smart contract so ETH is now becoming more popular.
And ETH is a safe place for investigators and traders. But all coins also have some risks. So you should be more careful.

 Ethereum is the major platform for smart contracts. Solidity (the programming language of Ethereum) is complete Turing language. There are some other platform with smart contracts, but not all of them are complete Turing language. The growing popularity of Ethereum is of course because of ICOs, which choose to issue ERC20 tokens. But here there is also a risk. If another platform will attract significant number of ICOs the value of ETH can go down. The major problems of Ethereum now are a low speed and relatively high price to use it.

From what I am seeing the major benefit of ethereum is its value and transactions, though there are a lot of ERC20 tokens out there, it is still much better if you invest in ethereum itself, since it is a trading pair as well, you can buy coins from exchanges using ethereum, still there will be fees, but if your goal is for capital growth, you can bet on ethereum. As of now, we are seeing that bitcoin's price is becoming more unstable due to the release of coins of Mt. Gox, and ethereum's value is still stable, there is a high chance that a huge percentage of people would also be investing ethereum since, bitcoin had also came a long way before getting its value today, and ethereum seems to be going there as well.

The major benefit of ETH over any other alt, I would say is that adoption is higher than most other alts. Even though it's not really used other than ICO purposes at all, almost all ICOs do still use the ETH platform to host their tokens, which is huge.

That doesn't mean that ETH is the best bet over the long run at all, I think that there are plenty of better options out there.

However, ETH is simply serving way too many ICOs right now to be out of the top 3 altcoins, in my opinion. As long as ICOs are still a thing, ETH will be used on a wide scale and value won't tank.

Ethereum was probably the first coin to really separate itself from bitcoin, and that made all the difference for them. They had a completely different objective, and didn't really wanted to become a currency. Instead they became an ICO platform, that is good for investments in emerging "blockhain companies", and they also want to run daps.

Just like bitcoin, they also have a decent team behind them, where it's Vitalik Buterin is of course the main figure. They have their problems, just like any other crypto, including bitcoin, but they are doing well and continue quite promising.

Of course that now that bitcoin will be able to run smart contracts as well, I don't know how good they will continue. I also don't know if bitcoin having smart contracts is a good thing or not, since I would prefer that it continued it's path as a currency, but let's wait and see.

ETH may not be cool by itself, but it is a father to all other crypto projects that are aimed at making our lives better with blockchain. For now though, there is a strong need in some solutions that allow to use, exchange and trade crypto without any experience in crypto just like fiat money. Here's the one with a very nice and smooth idea.

[Zagitta]

For me the major benefit is that a project as good as ethereum is still very cheap now, cheap enough for new investors can be able to buy into it at a cheap price before the coin increases in value and price. With all of the work that their team of developers are doing on the project, it would be no surprise when the price moons and goes up higher than anyone has predicted.

Never knew this. This is some useful information. Thanks for sharing. I always did know that Ethereum became primarily popular due to big community support, stellar features like smart contracts, passionate development team headed by Vitalik etc, but never knew that turing language had something to help it along. Vitalik Buterin is easily one of the best cryptocurrency developers I have observed which is why I knew this coin was something else from the beginning.

Etherium is the second best in the crypto and it it also dominated by a large number of investors. There are many traders or holders investing in ETH wherein sustainability is not a problem in the future. Most of these altcoins depend on ethereum for their exchange as it is stable and relaible. It has almost the same features as bitcoin.

Ethereum is a smart-contract platform, where other businesses build their product on Ethereum's platform.

as you say, other than that ethereum can be the first choice investment of all existing altcoins. and crypto trade can also use etehereum in addition to bitcoin.
