WIll ETH pass BTC in 2019 ?

Bitcoin will likely be #1 in terms of price, but not in terms of % growth when you consider altcoins. I still hold BTC it's a good investment and has upward momentum, but it's good to diversify crypto holdings. BTC has turned into more of a market index, a very crude comparison would be the S&P or DOW for stocks, and is more useful as an overall indicator of the crypto market direction. A lot of altcoins and the big 4 have their prices generally tracking movements in BTC price.

WIll ETH pass BTC in 2019 ?

It's not hard job, but I think BTC have more fan, and BTC is more popular then eth, I think  ETH can be TOP 1 coin, but only 5_6 day, because ETH is great for exchange in tokens

[kumablack]

Naa..i seripusly doubt that it will ever surpass bitcoin.but hey what do i know..

[maxreish]

In the year 2019 an so on, the ethereum cannot defeat  bitcoin in term of value, bitcoin remain the first and most expensive of all coins on the market, for me not already done the coins to defeat the bitcoin.

[removebeforeflight]

I don't think Ethereum has that much potential to pass Bitcoin since Bitcoin has good market cap and familiar coin to everyone not only in crypto market but outside crypto market as well. There is very hard chance for any coin to pass Bitcoin because Bitcoin rules the crypto world and the trend of it is affecting all the coins so if it rises only the other alts can rise to their limit but cannot pass Bitcoin at any point of time.

[DaryaCrypta]

Ethereum is not likely to overtake Bitcoin in capitalization and price as it has less support from people. But this does not mean that Ethereum will not grow.

[South Park]

No, ETH will never pass Bitcoin as it is treated as a currency while ETH is treated like a paper (smart contract).

In early days of the world, a piece of paper in which a contract was written was expensive for common folks. Now? A paper is too cheap as you can see and buy it everywhere, just like what will happen on ETH. On the other hand, tokens that exist above it might be.

If ethereum cannot surpass bitcoin and I think that is very clear, how do you expect some token built above that platform to surpass bitcoin? That does not mean tokens like that cannot gain value and be useful but it is impossible they are going to surpass bitcoin, also I really do not understand why people want other coins to surpass bitcoin, if this is because of economic gain they do not understand that if bitcoin was not the number one coin, the market will go down dramatically since confidence will be lost in the market.

[Xenoph0bia]

No. True that Ethereum has a lot of potential and has gained wide acceptance in a short period of time but I dont think that the coin will surpass Bitcoin's level and that too by 2019.
Bitcoin being the pioneer has a first mover advantage and also is considered as a brand name for all the cryptos. The coin now has a market capital of $110 billion and with its advanced blockchain, has opened new horizons in the financial market. Hence, the coin will remain on the top for sometime.

ETH will never pass Bitcoin as it is dealt with as a money while ETH is dealt with like a paper

In beginning of the world, a bit of paper in which an agreement was composed was costly for normal people. Presently? A paper is excessively modest as should be obvious and get it all over the place, much the same as what will occur on ETH

Bitcoin already been mainstream and become the main coin inside crypto, if ETH wants to surpassed btc then it's needed to have more exposure and more mainstream ads, the success that bitcoin already gained inside and outside the market already established him to be the number one crpyo, with the time frame that OP's said, it will take a lots of time to win against the original one.

I dont think that even if time is given ETH cannot surpass Bitcoin until Bitcoin network dont get problem or hacked. Because the main reason of Bitcoin being mainstream coin is that it is not controlled by anyone and no one is holding a big junk of coin, so that the market cannot be crashed on it. Almost so many miners are running on btc to work properly. But ETH is controlled by developer and holding a big junk of coins which always will be danger if he sold everything and run away. So many time ETH developer has told that he is always ready to put his profit in real world not in crypto world.

WIll ETH pass BTC in 2019 ?

No, I doubt it honestly. Too much on the market depends on how bitcoins behave. Altcoins, headed by eth, follow the path set by the btc. It is not possible that the price of btc falls and at the same time the eth price increases. So this situation is not possible at the moment.

I don't think that ethereum or an another altcoin can surpass bitcoin. The market prices completely following the price of bitcoin and I think it is not possible to see the price movements independent from the price of bitcoin in the next years.

[Eddyc]

Probably not, if follow the path of the Ethereum market will automatically follow the prices of Bitcoin as well as other altcoins in market. However, this may change if there is any partnership with some institution or a similar agreement to create investor expectations, positively forcing the investment for the short, medium and long term.

WIll ETH pass BTC in 2019 ?

Ethereum passing bitcoin by 2019? Simple answer is it won't happen. Ethereum has more coins than bitcoin and it's market cap is lower than it. The price of bitcoin is higher than the rest and it's supply is lower than ETH so don't think again that there will be time ETH will surpass bitcoin.

[pleaderzazure]

For now and some months I think Ethereum impossible to pass Bitcoin because Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency in the world and first famous.

[SamboNZ]

I never thought or imagined eth or any alts to surpass bitcoin because bitcoin will remain on top for years to come, but we will still not know what will happen in the future.

[PetroRoshenko]

I'm sure that this will not happen next year. The ether has many problems that they will need to solve in the course of development, so they definitely will not be able to overtake the broadcast next year.

[jackylion]

No, ETH is currently much lower price than BTC, there is no reason to make such a sharp increase in ETH, I still think that BTC will dominate the Crypto market in the future.

[catapult]

WIll ETH pass BTC in 2019 ?

I don't think that ethereum can surpass the bitcoin, because bitcoin is the king. It is affecting the all coin prices and I don't think we can see an altcoin which can reach the cap of bitcoin in next years or maybe decades.
