do ethereum compete with bitcoin?

[nebuch]

I guess it is impossible to defeat bitcoin by any altcoins even ethereum. There is not like bitcoin in our time so the reigns of bitcoin will take longer starting today. I know ethereum is potential but I cannot deny that ethereum is more potential because it is the all time high and the most in demands coin in every ICO as it is the basis if I'm not mistaken. Once ethereum overtaken the thrown of bitcoin it only means bitcoin is not worthy to lead crypto ever.

as if it is in the second place and nearer to the bitcoin then compare to other coins,
maybe in future it may beat bitcoin

Every cryptocurrency are always competing with each other for them to be the number 1 coin in the market, but i think it will be impossible for ethereum to beat bitcoin because it is the first ever cryptocurrency that was made and a lot of people are holding bitcoin.

Ripple has already outstripped the ethereum, and behind the coin is even more promising. And who knows how they will behave when the bulls come, so there’s no point in talking about competing with Bitcoin.

[judyrob]

even though it looks indeed very close in coinmarketcap but the distance between the two is pretty far. ethereum little hassles and even weakened in some time. even now the ethereum has to compete with the ripple that also has potential comparable to ethereum. to be considered on par with bitcoin then this is not the time for the ethereum.

[shadowdio]

No one can compete bitcoin even the second popular crypto which is ethereum, bitcoin is the king of crypto many people using bitcoin as a payment, investment, trading, money transfer and etc.

[changxia]

I don't know why people like to use Ethereum and Bitcoin as comparison objects. They don't have any similarities. What are they used to compare?

[zemper]

It’s too early to talk about BTC and ETH competition. Especially now that ETH has lost its second place to Ripple. Not the best times for the ETH. But if they solve the problems of the ETH network, and increase the network bandwidth, I think we will be able to see a good increase in the price of ETH.

Yes, I see on the coinmarketcap, ethereum place replace with ripple, and now ethereum is on the third position. Everything now has a surprise to us, and we still don't know which coins that can increase and right now, every coin still compete for each other. I don't think that ethereum can compete with bitcoin because bitcoin still have many people who believe in bitcoin and still want to make money from bitcoin. Besides that, bitcoin is the leader in the cryptocurrency.

Ethereum cannot compete with Bitcoin. Bitcoin can eliminate Ethereum by depreciation. Now that Ethereum is in danger, the price of $130 will be reduced by half at any time. The strongest bitcoin coins have started to collapse, and the cryptocurrency market is over.

Ethereum has lost its competition and rivalry with bitcoin. It is no longer doing well as it used to be. I know the entire crypto market is affected currently and not just Ethereum, but even before this time, say few months ago, it fell badly in comparison to bitcoin price.

[HauntOne]

So far, there are no other applicants, and they are not needed in the current period.  Perhaps in the future when the fate of cryptocurrency will become apparent, something will change.

[valek.bruno]

I am sure that all the same it is a common situation in which many people will lose their deposits, of course now many people just do not understand what is happening and I think that the situation will continue.

[Impaler]

I don't think ethereum ever beat or compete with Bitcoin. Cause Bitcoin is the core of this market. More than half of the market cap is on Bitcoins side. I'm the worst day Bitcoin dominance is 45-48% of the whole market. As you think Bitcoin and bottle are very different 2 coins use in the  2 different field. Bitcoin is a payment gateway Nd in other hand ethereum is a platform based token. But Bitcoin is way popular than ethereum. Ethereum market cap is 1/5 of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the most trusted coin for general people. People who know the name blockchain know about Bitcoin. So I don't think eth will ever take the crown from Bitcoin.

[clavirda]

In any case, BTC will maintain its confident dominance in the crypto market in the near future. But Ethereum really has every chance and a great potential for successful development in the future. I really hope that in a few years, Ethereum will become a confident competitor to BTC.

[iyah adrian]

Indeed, ethereum and bitcoin were always competing in crypto before. But if we look at it now maybe Ripples and bitcoins are competing in crypto. Because we've seen how this increase in ripple in the back.

Huh? No. One coin will never replace another. Coins may disappear, coins may appear, but all coins take their own places. And nobody replaces Bitcoin, even if it's a top altcoin.

Ethereum seeks to replace the position of the Bitcoin. This is demonstrated by the large number of the Ethereum development done to get at much more expensive again to exceed the price of the Bitcoin itself. so the Bitcoin compete with Ethereum and vice versa.

If etherium do really compete with bitcoin , then why etherium's  value is still small and most of the times not moving ?  All cryptos are not competing to each other because all of them are equally built .  the only difference is their name and price but all of their usage are the same , we can use them all for buying and as well as for investing/trading .

The only one that is in competition are ico's because ico's is a kind of business on which they need to attract a lot of costumers or investors so that their project can have a suffcient budget for development .

I see the development of the weakened Ethereum this makes the price of the Ethereum so down. This makes the Ethereum unable to fight with Bitcoin and keep on condition of recovery. so I am not sure with the rivalry between the Bitcoin with Ethereum.

[otundebis]

I believe bitcoin will remain the number one cryptocurrency!  The recent development with bitcoin cash is however casting doubt on bitcoin as there many bitcoin trying to out do each other.  Ethereum is a different and focus on different cache in the market and this could get Ethereum to be very successful in the future cryotocurrency ecosystem!

[dubynin.ilya]

No it is impossible, Etherium will never take the place of bitcoin. Now bitcoin is capabality, as it has a capitalization of more than 50% of the market, so that any problems bitcoin does, affect the rest of the cryptocurrency market.

[Iykecolyno]

There is no basis for this comparison, btc has proven countless time to be the king of cryptocurrencies, Etherium can only achieve this in their dreams. Despite all the forks and several splitting, it still stands tough. Eth will never have a place

[ranggenga]

Looking on today's market, there is no way Ethereum competing Bitcoin, right now Ethereum drop to the 3rd place in marketcap.
Right now the opponent of Ethereum is Ripple, starting from few moments ago, the 2nd place already being taken by Ripple.
