shitcoins like ethereum can't solve their own limited functionality and the backdoors they have let alone attempt at bigger more serious stuff that bitcoin is dealing with

Shitcoin or not, it helped cryptocurrency adoption to some extent, no ethereum, no ICOs, no developments in cryptocurrency world (ICOs helped whether you believe it or not).

I agree with that, ETH has been helping the market to grow.
Because of successful ICO we have seen an increase of overall marketcap and it introduce as to the new project that are still here now in the market.
Maybe Vitalik has been bias with his statement because every founder would also praise their own before the other, so nothing is wrong with that.

There are a lot of incredible projets that are trying to pick up what Bitcoin wasn't able to achieve. Ampleforth is another really cool project that talks about that too in their white paper: https://www.ampleforth.org/paper/

Sounds funny to me. Bitcoin remains king, no coin should ever solves the lags, they can only do that on whitepaper but never practical. In essence, ETH is great but it's not solving any BTC drawbacks so far. Just my observations.

⁠Ethereum is an attempt to solve Bitcoin’s limited functionality, according to Ethereum’s co-founder Vitalik Buterin

Bitcoin cannot solve problems made by central systems but ETH is now able to handle transactions after this fork that made network more faster. Vitalik and other ETH devs already made all necessary changes to ETH blockchain.

I mean, I'm pretty sure it was intended for bitcoin to have "limited functionality"

bitcoin does not have limited functionality. it has the functionality that it is supposed to have and it is fulfilling them as it is supposed to. saying otherwise is like saying "my vacuum cleaner has limited functionality because it doesn't also cook dinner for me"!

Exactly, what makes other people think that Bitcoin have limited function is because they want or expect something more than Bitcoin is supposed to be. Those that are mentioned by Buterin are just a prospected progress that can be made possible with Bitcoin.

Its hard for ethereum to replace bitcoin place because bitcoin is king in cryptocurrency. Ethereum is good coin for bussiness because smart contract but bitcoin still favorite coin because people think its digital gold

I think so, as Ethereum is being overrun by crypto kitties. Basically a killer app that has exposed the low capabilities of the network and has created a massive backlog in transactions. They have put in some small fixes in place but they are bandaids. More likely the technology to replace BTC will be one that can support several orders of magnitude more transactions per second. I have my eye on BTS which uses Delegated Proof of Stake and has been sustaining the most transactions per second out of all the currencies. Handling up to 100,000 Transactions per second whereas BTC and ETH are below 50. Just my two cents on this. Better get going as I resume my live poker sessions. Best of luck!

As expected after the hardfork, now we are slowly realizing the effect of the hardfork.
Maybe this is the real goal since bitcoin can't do everything. ETH has a good blockchain technology, I expect a more expensive price with ETH in the future. The transactions will get more faster as ETH starts this kind of development.

Well, I guess yes? If that so, we have no need to support any cryptocurrency related to bitcoin which are what they've said, the upgrade of bitcoin which are bitcoin cash, bitcoin cash SV, bitcoin cash ABC. Ethereum is enough as an alternative crypto.

Ethereum can't cover the breaks of bitcoin and blockchain. It is another notion for dragging ERC20 token based projects to a new network and it has big potential. Every coin has its own use and meaning. Why do users keep comparing the different versions of various projects?

[Ains_sama]

that is absolutely true and it is a very good idea from the founder of ethereum, and I strongly believe that ethereum will be able to replace bitcoin.

[bitgov]

Vitalik is an amazing man and if he says so, I believe him. However, for Ethereum to overtake Bitcoin in this technological race, there must be something more. Although it may succeed, but for sure not in next year or two..

[Krassows]

I do not know yet can be confirmed about this whether ethereum can replace the position of bitcoin or not for the future, bitcoin is the top coin in crypto and until now there has not been any coin that shifts its popularity, bitcoin is too strong to defeat

[jimskiy]

Will ethereum could back to higher price where last two year ethereum could raised to higher price about USD 1,5000 and how long waiting for ethereum could raised on higher price again, does needed bitcoin raise to higher price too.

[martabaktelor]

Bitcoin will still be the king of Cryptocurrency and this will last a long time. Bitcoin and Ethereum are of course very different coins. And both of these coins have different advantages and disadvantages. I am sure if Ethereum will continue to be under Bitcoin, even though the XRP also has a great chance of passing Ethereum.

[akitha]

ethereum is ethereum.. whether the founder says it could solve bitcoins limited functionality they have different purpose.. for the top crypto currency no one can replace bitcoin

[matchbillion]

Can you compare Google and Microsoft Office? OR Adobe Photoshop and Amazon? No !!
It’s the same with Bitcoin and Ethereum, they are developed keeping in mind to solve totally different problems. Stop considering one as superior to other.

Love both!!

[mandor]

Ethereum may not be able to complete the limited functionality of Bitcoin because Bitcoin is far better than Ethereum, Ethereum is still Ethereum and every coin has its own purpose. all Altcoin depends on Bitcoin and Ethereum will also follow.

Calling the #2 crypto a shitcoin? come on......

Just being objective here, what about that inflation bug in bitcoin that was luckily discovered by a bitcoin cash developer?   That could of spelled disaster for btc.

you should not confuse bugs in the protocol with bugs in an implementation software. the bug you are referring to was a bug in bitcoin core which is an implementation of bitcoin's protocol. the protocol itself has no bugs, the software can have lots of bugs.
when you compare it with ethereum, it has lots of "protocol" bugs and exploits and that is what makes it a shitcoin. not to mention that its centralization is also another reason for making it a shitcoin.
