Will Ethereum be taking 1st place in 2020?

[kaya11]

Anything can happen, especially in this kind of investment where volatility is high. If somehow Bitcoin goes down, most of the alts would too, but if the people don't cash out their money and just convert it to Ethereum or other alts, then that is one way there is to be in the 1st rank, but only only eth, xrp is a good candidatee too.

Really of all years 2020 the halving year, this is a big joke if you think Bitcoin can be overcome by any coin this year, when everybody are predicting how high Bitcoin can get this year, we have this kind of question

, Will Ethereum be taking 1st place in 2020?

anyway, it's only a few weeks before April fool's day.

[trauchot]

Ethereum, of course, from the very beginning showed good growth in price and a quick update of its technologies and capabilities, and as we see to this day, demand for ethereum services and technologies is only growing, but unfortunately ethereum will not be able to overtake bitcoin, but ethereum will always be at second place.

[JCviggen]

I think that by the end of the year we will see very good results. although it’s just March, and this year can be very volatile for ETH, I think that at the end of the year the price of ethereum will reach $ 800. Of course, everything will depend on the mood of Bitcoin.

[Youghoor]

This is a no for me at the moment unless the Ethereum foundation as well as its community decide to adjust some few stuffs about ETH.
1. Capping the total supply
2. Reducing the number of ETH required for users to be validators over their upcoming PoS network.

Though the price of ETH is likely going to increase as we continue to approach the launch of their Proof of Stake Network but i doubt it would out perform that of Bitcoin halving.

I agree what you have said in your post but i do not agree with what your post title says, i mean Eth is obviously nicely positioned to boom from here and after multi years of downtrend and also with so many upgrades lined up we all know that Eth is poised to go north but i do not think that it is that easy to be number one in terms of market cap, even if it happens i do not think it will happen quickly, it will take quite a long time and only gradually and obviously not this year.

Ethereum has been steadily on the rise for a good while now, and this first half of Q1 2020 has proven that they have brought that same energy into the new decade. They have started 2020 with a bang, more than doubling in value in just 2 months.

There are quite a few factors that have come into play to make this a winning year for Ethereum and here are just a few: https://thecoinshark.net/en/5-reasons-why-ethereum-is-winning-in-2020/amp/

What do you think we can expect to see for the rest of the year?

There's nothing on the article that says they are going to take over Bitcoin, and at the end of the article they say
 

So much so, that it’s probably a good idea to start accumulating it now. Ethereum is on the up, don’t get left behind.

They will have a great time this year but there is no mention about Bitcoin, so let's take it that way and don't confuse people I believe in both coins.

[SaidNurs]

If seen from the opportunity, ehtereum has the opportunity or candidate to rank number one. Besides that where bitcoin as the main coin for this time lived the number began to decrease. That way maybe ehtereum can occupy the first position. But I don't think so for the near future

I am expecting more for ethereum for this year, and even if the major causes really influenced a great market. Although there's some struggles might affect our decision making, but still eth obtained a good trend as of now. This will took place next to bitcoin as it bounces a progressive value in midst of pressures in trading.

Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if the market would crash this year and it ends up being twisted and shattered with ethereum on the first place, but it's hard for me to imagine what kind of event could do such harm to bitcoin. We're approaching halving and recent price drops once again shows how volatile this market is.

Actually it is true that ETH had a good growth during the beginning of year and gave holders good profit, also from the look of things there is still more room to grow. However, saying any coin will take the number position in the crypto market is far from being true or being achievable. The number of people that values Bitcoin is much, in fact there are many people who holds only but Bitcoin as the see Bitcoin as the only decentralized cryptocurrency. Also, it is a fact that ETH is also a good coin on its own but overtaking bitcoin won't be possible in the same way, once there is an uptrend in price both Bitcoin and every other good coin will experience it not only ETH..

[Rosilito]

Will Ethereum be taking the 1st place in 2020? No. Not a chance, yes as we can see in the chart Ethereum had a good run between December upto the mid February having $288 as high last February but there were up and downs. And as February closes Ethereum falls down and remains quite flat at $230. Comparing it to Bitcoin's movement, it looks quite the same having a good start in the beginning of 2020 and even spike up last February then falls down in the end of the month. IMO, it seems to be almost the same in its movement, and may be bitcoin's market movement highly influence ethereum. Hence, there is no chance for ethereum to take over the number 1 spot.

In regards to market capitalization, I don't think bitcoin will ever be overthrow as the most tradable coin but in regards to gains, ethereum truely has what it takes to achieve such milestone. It's very capable of been the most profitable coin of 2020 both 1Q and 2020 in general.

Bitcoin hype is underway, halving effect will definitely influence the price of bitcoin in the coming months, although ethereum is benefiting now doesn't mean bitcoin isn't going to dominate when it's time is right.

The market is going to be very bullish and there will be enough profit to be made if only your patience can be exercise, both ethereum and bitcoin will record a profitable year but as for the position in regards to market capitalization, I still think bitcoin will lead the charts.

Ethereum has performed well in the market even at the start of the year but let's not forget that bitcoin is also surging. The price of ethereum was greatly affected by the incoming bitcoin halving so definitely, bitcoin still takes the lead. Bitcoin will not be easily replace by ethereum because majority of the people would still choose bitcoin over ethereum not just of its popularity but mainly of its profitability.

[TrevorS]

Blah blah blah. Whenever I see dreamers saying that the broadcast will come first in the list, I have fits of laughter.
Although this is more like a headline designed to attract more attention, now it is very popular. I think it’s no secret to anyone who will be number one in the next few years.

Ethereum is already getting bullish and has its own popularity as a token in the market. But overtaking or surpassing bitcoin is I think not gonna happened, from the past years Ethereumstill have bad records.

This 2020 bitcoin is getting a very good start compared to ETH, at some point bitcoin is still profitable because of the volatility of the token. It is possible that Ethereum could surpass bitcoin when it comes to market price but it doesn't mean it is going to happen when it comes to cryptocurrency or blockchain the first thing that comes in mind is bitcoin, not Eth. Popularity makes bitcoin get a lot of demand in the market and its own technology making it superior compared to other cryptocurrencies.

[DabsPoorVersion]

Ethereum is showing a great performance in the market, but it is not enough to take the 1st place,

There are a lot of good crypto in the market, it is only a matter of time until some other altcoins overcome ethereum. We also have bitcoin who holds the position of being the king of all crypto for a decade. It is not easy for any altcoins to take its place because it has a strong dominance over them.

We can't deny that fact about bitcoin, it's the leading currency of all times right now. Unlike what happened with ethereum, although it's not that huge in value as to compare with bitcoin but many tokens had been associated to its platform. Hopefully the latest developments on eth 2.0 will have a good effect this 2020, and will help it's community to gather more influence for everybody who still trusted ethereum platform.

[Russlenat]

Ethereum is showing a great performance in the market, but it is not enough to take the 1st place,

Exactly, it's based on marketcap and per https://coinmarketcap.com/
ETH has $25 billion marketcap while, BTC has $166 billion marketcap, we can see the big difference here.

There are a lot of good crypto in the market, it is only a matter of time until some other altcoins overcome ethereum. We also have bitcoin who holds the position of being the king of all crypto for a decade. It is not easy for any altcoins to take its place because it has a strong dominance over them.

Again I agree, with the dominance of bitcoin that is dominating the entire altcoins, no altcoins would easily replace its position in the market.

[batang_bitcoin]

The difference and logical understanding of bitcoin and Ethereum's comparison is easy to determine. The market capitalization of Eth is way lower than bitcoin and it's unable to surpass it even during the bull run.
It's hard to see that bitcoin will be gone out of its position and being replaced by Ethereum. I have never imagined that someday it will be there at the top and bitcoin will be out of it.
