Currently, there are many countries using ETH to transact and pay for some types of services. They do not need to spread the word to the whole world, but there are some countries that are really very supportive of ETH because of the low and very safe transaction fees.

Yes you are right. It is depend on adoption like what you said what happened on bitcoin when Japan already adopt it. People and investor and based on the reputation and achievement of coin and once the coin will support by country it is a big advantage to build a good image to attract more investors and users . Like in other project crypto also need a good advertisement coming from a good reputation country.

Can Ether become an Independent currency like bitcoin?
The answer is so simple, It is only possible when any country like Japan, US, Germany announces that they are adopting ether as an official currency likewise Japan adopted Bitcoin as an official currency.
No, while there is the ability to "rollback" transactions (hacking TheDAO). Although on the other hand, any government seeks total control and in this case, an "official"/national cryptocurrency can be created. But it is not exactly ETH; something on the ETH blockchain possible.

From my opinion, Ethereum is an independent currency because the feature of ethereum is different than bitcoin. Ethereum has smart contract which is unique function that different from bitcoin. We can make erc20 token in ethereum too, it is often used for funding project in ICO.

Can Ether become an Independent currency like bitcoin?
At first place, Ethereum and altcoins in general have created because a certain team or owner did it so it is still dependent. Now is there a chance that it will become an independent coin in the future? Possibly yes if the coin is used widely but if I'm the creator why would I not continue the project that I started already. Owners of different altcoins doesn't want to leave their project so basically speaking, Ether and all altcoins can't become independent.

Bitcoin has the concept and the idea of the real decentralized currency and that is why they remain the most used independent currency till now, and Ethereum is simply going to always be an alternative, no matter how hard Ethereum may try, there is absolutely nothing they can do to become independent like bitcoin.
If you look at japan also, despite their reliability on bitcoin, they will still have Ethereum as second alternative incase bitcoin does not meet up at some certain pint, because bitcoin has its own issues too, especially the aspect of scalability, which I know that we have lightning network already to help, but that is still on a centralized bases which really does not fully follow the line of bitcoin fir its vision to provide a full decentralized system.

I wish it could, but it seems like ETH is never going to climb on top of the market. The big problem of ETH is the lack of updates and partnerships, while big coins like NEO, EOS are doing something to increase their prices, ETH is just silent.

Your reply definitely shows that you either lack the update about coins that offer dapp and smart contract service because the NEO and EOS you mentioned have nothing to offer the crypto community and what they did is create the roadmap led by ETH before ETH create theirs.

Can Ether become an Independent currency like bitcoin?
Can you make it more specific? Independent on what aspect? If it is related to the ETH price, it is hard to separate from the influence of Bitcoin. While if it is about the popularity of Ethereum platform, I think it was already independent for a long time since it became the strongest altcoins ever.

Ethereum was created as a business platform and therefore there is a smart contract. In my opinion ethereum is different from bitcoin which functions as a digital currency or digital assets. Ethereum with its smart contract can be a business platform that can be used to make business efficient by making tokens.

As official currency? Maybe as additional currency can, cause these countries will never replace their own currency for a digital currency which is very unstable and can't be controlled. Bitcoin isnt also sure that a Japanese Satoshi Nakamoto created it. Maybe just a screen name who knows, but the point is, it is hard to implement even ether as a currency for such country.

etherium is already an independent currency just like bitcoin because cryptos like them dont mainly depend on the fiat system or banking system . we can mine and obtain a crypto without going the need for fiat or banks .
there is no need for acceptance on those countries that you mention above because even if they dont adopt crypto there are still many other countries that are now already adopting crypto .

In my opinion, ethereum by its nature is not expected to be a currency. Ethereum was created to serve as gas fee for transferring tokens and creating smart contracts. This explains why there's no definite number of ethereum to be created, unlike bitcoin who has a maximum of 21 million coins.

No, I do not agree with your opinion. In April 2017, Japan simply legalized Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. In this regard, we can say that he received official status. However, this did not make him independent. If world states fully legalize ethereum or another cryptocurrency, this will not make them independent of the price dominance of bitcoin. There is talk that ethereum may free itself from the price dominance of bitcoin, but the reasons for this should be completely different. The technological and functional significance of ethereum should increase, and on this basis it should increase in popularity and demand.

Agree, in my opinion ethereum was created not to compete with bitcoin but ethereum was created as a business platform, therefore there is a smart contract that makes it easy for business platforms to be involved in the cryptocurrency market

There are still some differences between Ethereum and Bitcoin. Although they are all cryptocurrencies, Ethereum has smart contracts that can do certain functions. I think Ethereum can be summarized as a functional cryptocurrency.
I do agree that eth can be categorized as functional cryptocurrency as business entities can create smart contracts and it depends on what type of business they want to deal with. The usage of this platform has been explored in so many aspects already. And from my point of view, eth is already an independent currency like bitcoin. Because it is not actually dependent on bitcoin. They have their own identity so to speak.

The reasons why Ethereum is not properly functioning well now is because most of the projects too that were created under Ethereum are not properly functioning well, and until Ethereum produce is meeting up to the standard that most of its investors expected of him before it can start functioning properly.

But the development of Ethereum is dynamic and they could modify it as the users demand. Most of the miners, developers and investors sees Ethereum as a competitor to Bitcoin. By limiting the supply and increasing it's usability, Ethereum could be another utility cum investment currency like bitcoin.

To be frank its highly unlikely this will happen anytime soon.The market situation at the moment shows how highly dependent the crypto space is on bitcoin.. Even with the countless possibliies the ETH blockchain boast of , its sad to say as a currency ETH has been underperforming lately.
