When do ETH and LTC catch up to BTC?

[pinoyden]

we don't need to hurry for them to immediately catch up to bitcoin because ethereum and litecoin are slowly chasing him so be patient

Yeah boi . These alts are indeed catching btc but in a slow steady manner  . Altcoins are always known to be stable and slow moving even before even bitcoin pumps unexpectedly  . This why alts are known to be a coin for those long term investors   . Alts such as eth and ltc are not for impatient people   but there are still alts that are fast moving  , bitcoincash for example   .

@op its now happening actually . Take a look at the value of eth .  The value grow about 100 usd plus .  But i havent check the value of ltc yet .

I don't know about ETH really, or for that fact any other crypto, for the next 20 years there will be nothing to challenge the status of Bitcoin as the gold standard of crypto. And Litecoin as much as I like the coin and project, it specifically marketed itself in the past as a silver standard, next to Bitcoin. So in terms of price it will never catch up, but in tech? Litecoin got segwit first remember?

Well, I don't know too much about altcoin but I can see that technology of bitcoin is really outdated when compared to altcoin that appears after bitcoin because many experts have shown it clearly through the charts of the features and effectiveness of these technologies compared to bitcoin. However, although technology has shown too many weaknesse but in terms of value, altcoin remains forever incomparable to bitcoin when bitcoin's lead is absolute and perfect, no one can catch up to bitcoin in this regard when capitalization and market support for it are overwhelming.

But what do you mean by outdated technology? Old doesn't mean outdated. People usually refer to transaction per second, that Bitcoin only has 7 max or something like that, and others have 100s per second. So that's faster, right? But no, wrong. Ask most merchants and they will say they only need 1 confirmation (or even 0 in many cases) for deposits to appear. But for alts? There is no such thing as 0 confirmation, they will wait for 10 or more if you're lucky.

And tech? Bitcoin got Segwit long before most alts did. Just to give 1 example.

he doesn't mean anything by it. he is just a parrot repeating the propaganda that was started in 2017 to pump coins like ETH. the funny thing is that people who are repeating the same thing don't even understand how much of ethereum is copied from bitcoin. in fact the differences are minimal and in places that aren't related to the "technology" which is the funny part of their statement. if they said something like DAG coins is the advanced technology compared to bitcoin, it would have made more sense although was still wrong.

to be able to catch up bitcoin ,is less likely but what I see now is that the price of ethereum has started to rise from before even though there is a slight decrease, expect ethereum to go up again and be at the highest price

Ethereum is the only project that I see continue to rise sometime even when bitcoin is declining, this shows that ethereum really has a very good working products, but despite this, ETH can still not meet with BTC. Even those projects that are built on ethereum smart contract only follows bitcoin in its increase, I have never seen  any of them follow ethereum bull run, mostly they all depend on bitcoin bull including the shitcoins.

It shows that a king will always be a king even if we really don’t know why bitcoin increase affects other altcoins increase, because my believe initially is that they have their own different function and product they present to the world is what should make their value appreciate.

This is a good question and the obvious answer might be to just focus on Bitcoin for now as its gains are leading the market and are likely to improve as the halving approaches but if you want to speculate over which of these alternatives might have more potential they both represent decent potential with Ethereum possibly becoming more sort after throughout the year especially if there's more hype for futures products and its development in on schedule

As of now it's still unclear to whether those projects will be able to catch up with bitcoin or it will remain the same, it's a combinations of development and supports coming from the industry, it will dictates the fate of those projects if they'll be able to work and get bigger attentions to reach what bitcoin already achieved.

Bitcoin will grow, and with it ETH and LTC. It remains only to wait. The whole market seems to be following Bitcoin

[Dpat]

It is never and in any way catch up the BTC but to follow the path of BTC. LTC and ETH are evolved much later than the BTC when the BTC price was at the peak. the concept of BTC is adopted in this coin and BTC is always act as the index for the other coin and the altcoins.

LTC may be better at growth in the market compared to ethereum. several times the LTC has started the pump, and ethereum is still waiting for their pump to occur. growth is happening I'm sure only because of the pump from bitcoin.

[lohladex]

I am a strong believe in ETH altcoin though i do believe it can never  override the giant Bitcoin but i believe in ETH Capacity. From my own point of view, i believe all these ICO Organizers contributed to the decline in Eth price most especially during the bear market. After raising funds through ETH, they convert the funds into FIAT to avoid volatility that might result into lost of Investors funds. Currently BTC is taking the lead. I believe ETH also will join the suit soon.

I think the price of bitcoin has long been the king of all coins, many other cryptocurrency that follow the price movements of bitcoin, if you want to make the cryptocurrency price go up, usually the first step is to be able to increase the price of bitcoin first. and ethereum or litecoin will never be able to defeat bitcoin.

[btc_angela]

Both of them are growing as well, but not the same growth as bitcoin because we all know that those are still alt coins and investors or at least majority of them are into bitcoin market So I doubt that it will catch up with bitcoin price wise, but it doesn't mean that they are a sleeper investment as well. Good if you can throw some money on them but majority should be in bitcoin, just saying.

At present their doe snot seems to be any scope of LTC atleast to catch up with BTC. LTC even if it reaches to ETH price level will be the best thing for it as in long run does not look at that attractive price levels to move up.

[Robotbitcoin22]

At present ethereum has been able to increase also when bitcoin rises. in order to be equal in terms of altcoin prices it is certainly not possible to experience a substantial increase even thousands of percent to be equal to bitcoin

[Bobby park]

As everyone knows Bitcoin is the most strongest crypto currency of all time and it is quite impossible to beat that others suppose to be like. Eth, Bch, and other crypto currency as well could be the next to Bitcoin but not to override it because there are several assets that Bitcoin had.

it caused by halving and i would not be surprised to see that and i expected the same thing will happen when ethereum gets its POS update and that will make the hardcap supply and determine how much ethereum that distributed in the network.
the same thing can happen when it gets the same update.

[suryapro]

Eth and Ltc are indeed coins that have very good prospects in the future, but don't assume too much if these two coins will have the same price as Bitcoin. need a better process and development than both. but we must know, if anything can happen in this crypto world.

[Kocret02]

it would not be possible if ethereum prices could be equivalent to bitcoin. ethereum only has prices below bitcoin but posiisi ethereum is now below one level with bitcoin and it makes ethereum a potential coin after bitcoin.

[peter0425]

I think the question should be when is ETH or LTC going to the moon. There's no need to challenge BTC at this point because it's not doable. LTC is doing good right now, and of course there is the halving event that everyone is waiting for. In fact, it is still about 60% from its all-time-high so very doubtful that it can catch up to BTC. Same as ETH as well,  78% from its previous all-time-high. So let those coins works about getting to their all-time-high first and then see how it goes for them in the future.

[pixie85]

None of them will catch up because people will always see Bitcoin as the first cryptocurrency. Some say that it will be dethroned and I disagree because it can be upgraded and no coin is recognized as much as bitcoin. Bitcoin has its own brand and it will be more profitable to keep investing in it instead of leaving it and going after another newer coin.

Both ETH and LTC don't have any features that would make them derail the bitcoin train. You'd need something much better to make it happen.

Yes bitcoin was one of the strongest and popular coins in crypto but those two coins mention above etherium and LTC, Maybe they have a chance to catch up of bitcoin as we can see etherium also is have a high volume in the market so they have a chance beat bitcoin in not time.
