hello everyone.
bitcoin will go down when ethereum will appear ?
why it"s posible to buy this new virtual coin only with bitcoin ?
thank you.  
Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

From what I've understood, Ethereum won't be a currency as such. however still buyable but not yet released.

Good question romeodamian, I recently heard about this ethereum and I read it was a threat to bitcion.  I've no clue what it is so thanks for bringing the matter to my attention and starting a discussion.  I'll follow this thread and see what others think.

Ethereum does not directly replace bitcoin. They are designed for two different things. Ethereum is designed to execute contracts. Bitcoin is a component of a contract. It is possible that Ethereum could be so popular that ether might be used more than bitcoins for payments.

I personally didn't think it would really wipe out BTC in any form of fashion honestly.  I just wanted to get a convo going here as this topic is very new to me and I don't have all the time i'd like to dive into the forum and dig out info.

ethereum will complement bitcoin.

the question you should be asking is:  ripple vs. ethereum, who will rule?

more about ripple here:  https://xrptalk.org/forum/61-faq-and-guides/ and here:  http://coinjoint.info/ripple-might-want-pay-attention/

Ethereum is closer to Open Transactions in concept than to Bitcoin.  Bitcoin is a currency and speculative commodity, whereas Ethereum is a platform that allows you to design digital financial products encoded in a blockchain - futures contracts, bonds, that sort of thing.  It is a cool idea and they have a slick website and a super smart team...but I'm also rooting for Open Transactions, its a little more in line with the principles of Bitcoin IMHO.
