Just a thought

[lienfaye]

If ethereum is the first crypto from satoshi then they will switch position.

Eth as the top crypto that has many supporters and bitcoin as second well-established coin.

However this is just a dream that cant happen in reality, lets just accept the fact that bitcoin is the king.

[4rzun4]

I have never thought that far before, because bitcoin is always synonymous with satoshi nakamoto and Ethereum with Vitalik buterin. For now I just imagine if ethereum the price is not much different from bitcoin. Of course it will look interesting, meaning that there is a fairly tight competition.

[ttcsalam]

This is just a thought ,what would have happened if the first crypto coin from satoshi was ethereum ? I'm sure ETH will be the most  favoured digital currency just like bitcoin is today.

And ETH would have been the bullrun driver and many altcoins will always favour since ETH is the key ,just imagine if ETH is 11,000$ ? Many altcoins would have been exploding in value presently

If you have said that if Bitcoin is King of the crypto world. But  ETH would be the 2nd King. I think that in the crypto  world, Etherium would be better as King inside the altar coins.

[bangkecol]

Good thinking....Even in Ethereum has more speed than Bitcoin.
So, this thinking is about who is the first , it will be the king.

[Ulven]

Absolutely any cryptocurrency that would appear first would be the flagship in the cryptocurrency industry. You should understand that there are much better and promising cryptocurrencies. But here the market is ruled by leadership. Who was the first to realize their product is the winner. Law of business. In this case, the product is bitcoin.

Is not it as you think? For example, since its inception, the world has known a number of cultural,and economic developments.But there has never been absolute control over a particular civilization.The same thing happens despite the leadership he enjoys bitcoin,The digital world will know many changes in the future,You'll probably get unexpected things. This industry, at the beginning of its development, will know many improvements and the emergence of new mega projects that will dominate the market or develop old industries and its future dominance. This is just intuition.

I guess ethereum is already quite big, it was created by different people but has so much potential and so many use cases that it became the second (and sometimes third) biggest coin, plus ripple was created very early on as well and it has been on the second spot as well (mostly on third) even though I hate them.

So, long story short if ethereum or ripple were created by satoshi himself and were the first coins I am pretty sure they would become this big as well, maybe the whole market would change and prices would change and so forth but in the long run they would be on the top that is for sure, even if that means less marketcap and not improving crypto world. Being the first one always has privileges, bitcoin is clearly not the best coin in technical sense but it is the most expensive one because its the first one.

[roadster213]

Not sure where this is going.

[MikeyVeez]

I do not think that Bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency ever only because founder of it is called Satoshi  .
Vitalik Buterin is also a genious but it is not enough, it is not about the person who created something big. It is about the idea and people that believe in it.

It is just like you saying what is bitcoin was another name different from the word BITCOIN, of course that will be the highest valued coin we will have in the market even if it was ETHEREUM they named it, but when it comes to function, Ethereum may still not be the top, because the system being run by both of them is still a little bit different and till date, bitcoin system of technology still remain the best.

I am not sure that we have anyone that is better than bitcoin till date, even when they all come out to claim they have a better system to that of bitcoin. So name is not what matters alone, if the function of Ethereum can tally with that of bitcoin, then it will definitely be the highest valued coin that will be in the market till date, and maybe we might never have known bitcoin.

Since it's your own opinion and personal thinking about the possibilities it's your right to make that assumptions but in reality there's no assurance whether if eth got in first if this project will bring more high with this current happening while Bitcoin is being recognized as first and the king of crypto.

Point is valid for personal but it's still the community who will decide if they will support if ever eth was been introduced first whether the market will be the same like this.

you are right, the bigger the community believes it, the bigger the project will be. Bitcoin is growing because many people trust Bitcoin and its development. all developers must think that way, if they want to make their projects grow fast.

It's the weirdest assumption I've ever seen. What if Clinton were the US president, not Trump?
This is meaningless question. Bitcoin's number one here is not because it was found by Satoshi. To be worthy of it.

[swiftbits]

Bitcoin and Eth has a huge age gap of foundation but both became prime in this platform, Bitcoin technology is such an inspiration of most of the developers out there, so if Eth was the first one I don’t think it has made any changes, Eth might be developed the same way as Bitcoin.

[xmonkeyx]

If ETH is Satoshi's first crypto coin, but unfortunately it's not ETH. Regarding Ethereum, at this time, there are very many devotees, and Ethereum has become the favorite platform of all projects. I am sure, ETH will have a high value someday.

[Metall303]

Then it would be the number one. If the current features of ethereum is the main function of it assuming it is the first coin, then it would be great for a lot of users since it offers features that are not included with bitcoin. It will just as popular as bitcoin right now.

I think that these functions are not included in Bitcoin just now. In the future, Bitcoin will have the same options and ETH will not be needed at that time.

[Bonwin]

Bitcoin being the forest, is enjoying that special grace, so if ethereum has been the first, it will also enjoy it.
Whether it is the first or not, if ethereum has what it takes to surpass bitcoin, it will. Ethereum is the second, so nothing should stop it, because lunching a coin firs, does not mean it will continue to be in the first position.

[dataispower]

Actually your thought is an illusion,  I don't see any coin fit for Bitcoin's position.  I'm talking about decentralized architecture. Ethereum might not have scales through probably if it was the first, just saying.  Yes, I'm a big fan of ETH but the fact remains that even many new projects claiming to have more robust architectures and high TPS do not still compare to BTC, imagine the number of users of BTC, check the market cap and yet transactions still go through although with some network clogs. 

[SMOKEU]

i think your scenario will not happen also .. do you think ethereum will create smart contract like what is happening today?i bet no

[izanagi narukami]

The story will be different if ETH is the first coin, there will be no bitcoin or there will be bitcoin shape token.
It's so unpredictable but mostly people will prefer something better,right ?
If ETH launch for the first time and people dislike it, I think the cryptocurrency will not be well known like today

[Novatech8]

If ethereum was the first crypto coin released by satoshi and it manage to achieve the present market cap of bitcoin i bet it can't be trading at 9000$,the highest it can go is 2k to 3k but I'm glad bitcoin is the king because ETH might have died off if it was the first crypto coin, let's not forget that bitcoin has the strongest community support over all
