Ethereum Vs. Bitcoin

[yokosan]

in the future, I think it's going to happen. because there are thousands of projects built on ETH contracts. there must be an explanation for this. very short; success. the only alternative to the entire market after bitcoin is confidence. in fact, according to some, ETH is the best.

[target]

BTC is too difficult to replace. Until there is no coin/token that has the security stronger than BTC, it will not be replaced. ETH had tried though. There is on token that is trying to set a better platform which EOS. I find potential to this one and so I hope there are more to good products for this tokens so we'll see where its heading soon. Its left behind, way behind but it could fly high too.

Hi, something is going on my mind nowadays Ethereum (119.257.105.958) market approach to Bitcoin (197.808.898.769) approached. The Ethereum has a lot of confidence in the overall sense that it manages to maintain its position up and down despite the entire market shaking.

Will Ethereum be able to catch Bitcoin?

or will it be possible to return to the old Bitcoin when the Lighting Network is in use?

BItcoin is number one and will stay so, the usage of the technology of bitcoin blockchain for mass adoption will come naturally.
ETH will be doing pretty well, as the strong team behind it, but it will not beat the master.
I believe BTC may go way way higher than the previous high within 1-3 years.

Actually Now BTC price is much ahead then ETH But ETH is a very promising coin and it's popularity increasing day by day. In most of ICO projects investors are investing money with ETH, that's why ETH future is very well I think. I also think one day ETH will cross BTC price. So let's see it will happen or not in the future.

[granchio]

I think there is a good competition between this two. Although I think ethereum should try to rise more and more to catch the price and popularity of the bitcoin, I think both can carry the crypto world to higher levels.

It is unlikely that ETH rates will catch up with the BTC in 2018. On the market at this time, only XRP is able to surpass the market cap of ETH because recently the XRP rate increased very fast, with the time increasing up to over 70% in the price only within 1 day. So if you choose between BTC and ETH, you should choose ETH.

Ether and Bitcoin are not competing, they do different things.

Bitcoin is a store of wealth.

Ether is to build apps and contracts.

They complement each other.    The only "competition" is the market cap value and  trading price.

I think Bitcoin for now will still be a coin vaforit because it has good value, but for ether I think this coin will be a good coin for the future, for that I need to have 1-2 ETher for the long term.

[Siti Nurbaya]

Ethereum still has the potential and has a good future, the volume also continues to run. Holders are still holding back and in hopes of fresh air to rise again next month.
Bitcoin is not inferior to its increasing community and has more power than other coins. This is able to keep bitcoin the highest and best.
Two coins that have their own functions and will go side by side.

[BryanK]

Why compare two incomparable currencies? Yes, of course bitcoin is the first currency and Ethereum is just an altcoin, but for investment I would choose Ethereum.

[ronafurw]

This is impossible because etherium is still unable to deal with a surge in transactions so that a lot of transactions are not resolved and failed and this is a logical problem that makes prices weaker and bitcoin seems to remain the leader of all coins for the time being until 2020 still

First of all there is no impossibility in the world. Everything is possible. About ETH vs Bitcoin, see that the pace at which ETH started growing back then was far more accelerated than that of Bitcoin’s. I agree that ETH is down now and it cannot be thought of as a potential competitor but if we extent out thoughts in the long run, it is not impossible at all. There is possibility ETH give a hard time to Bitcoin again because the product with the latest and advanced features is preferred over the traditional one.

[Xiahouyuan]

The number of bitcoins is limited, and Ethereum can be released indefinitely. When Bitcoin is mined to a certain amount, its price will continue to rise, but Ethereum cannot do this!

[MathGame]

Well, I think the next bull run is going to favor the Ethereum way better than Bitcoin. Thus, I prefer Ethereum for now.

if you compare these two coins, obviously they are very different,
bitcoin is the first Dapps, while Ethereum is the First Dapps Platform, and surely these two coins are the future

ETH will bring more profit if the market enters the uptrend period as the investment demand is likely to increase and ICO projects will encourage investors to buy ETH if the market recovers well. I believe that ETH is always the wisest choice and certainly brings the best profit

Based on what happens in the price of Ethereum nowadays, I don't think it has the capability to catch-up with Bitcoin. For Ethereum to do that, its developers must concentrate on solving the problem this second rank crypto by market cap is facing nowadays.

if the price comparison is indeed bitcoin is still the highest crypto money, and if we compare prices with Ethereum, of course there is nothing, but I agree with you, I also prefer to invest in Ethereum, and I also have a prediction that Ethereum prices will grow even higher.

[diamond_shine1]

I believe in ethereum, ethereum only needs time to overtake bitcoin
I think that in the next 5 years, ethereum will rank 1 coinmarketcap

They are being compared on the basis of price in the market. Both were initially thought of as potential opponents in the market and ETH was expected to give Bitcoin a hard time in 2020. Besides, both of these coins have been ruling the market claiming the top market caps.

The profitability in Bitcoin was considered to be high than ETH but the rate at which ETH was advancing was viewed as faster than Bitcoin. This is why these two are often compared. And yes investment in both these coins can be profitable than in any other coin.

This itself might be the biggest selling point for anyone who wants to think long term. Here today, Bitcoin is already the favored cryptocurrency because it is the one who has achieved the most in that sense, of a CURRENCY. But all that aside, even if you assume any other token could be convincing as a currency, the security issue is the one no one can bet.

Just think, every day there is more hashpower, every day the 51% attack gets more expensive and difficult, and will eventually be recognized and people will return to the original block. No other coin can claim Bitcoin's massive security. ETH wanted to claim #2 spot, now Ripple, but these coins cannot compete even if they become #1 on CMC.
