Will Ethereum be taking 1st place in 2020?

[wxxyrqa]

I believe that it is impossible to exclude the possibility that Ethereum will come out on top of the cryptocurrency market.  Although it will take a lot of time to surpass Bitcoin in terms of capitalization.  Nevertheless, there are very good reasons for this.  I liked one statement of a person who, for ease of explanation of the difference between Bitcoin ethereum, compared bitcoin with a smartphone application, and Ethereum with appstore, which allows developers to create their own applications based on the Ethereum blockchain.  In addition, one must take into account the fact that the age difference between Bitcoin and ETH is almost 6 years and therefore ETH has already been created as a more technological and more developed product that is several times higher than the characteristics of Bitcoin.  Although the only thing I don't like is the lack of a limited amount of ethereum, like bitcoin.

We can say it's possible that Ethereum will be taking over the market, but we should also try to ask ourselves on its probability, being realistic is very important. Looking at the market now and its trend, there's never a chance that bitcoin was replace on its spot and bitcoin now is holding a good dominante rate that beats all altcoins.

That will never happen, everyone is sure that bitcoin will always be number one. Ethereum is not appropriate to take it.

[dishku]

It will never happen in the world of crypto because of the king's nature BTC has amazing structure and very strong support around the globe. ETH is not in good position to give any kind though time in future because the demand is increasing for sure and halving event is making the sentiments more bullish than ever.

ETH is not going to overtake Bitcoin this year because Bitcoin now has a capitalization of about $160 billion and ETH has $23 billion, there is just not enough money in the market for ETH to overtake Bitcoin.

It is true that ethereum is still far from being able to replace bitcoin, it would be seen from any side at this time ethereum is still under the shadow of bitcoin. the increase in ethereum alone is always influenced by the increase in bitcoin. ethereum still can not escape the influence of the shadow of bitcoin. can it happen? no one can be sure and believe that there are coins that can replace bitcoin, as well as ethereum itself.

Bitcoin will always and be number one,  ethereum Cannot be compared to bitcoin,  it will remain behind bitcoin,  the market cap alone is overwhelming, I think ethereum needs to step it's game up before other altcoins overtake it,  such as Xrp or perhaps bnb

some people think that ethereum has the potential to exceed bitcoin. but, in fact ethereum always follows in the footsteps of bitcoin. in fact, ethereum prices really do fall when bitcoin prices dump. however, ethereum is one of the most potential coins, only it cannot be used to compete with bitcoin.

Yes, that's right. The reason is because Ethereum is a team that has many teams holding coins and sharks cannot have the right to use it to manipulate. Besides, alts are now often paired with Bitcoin, which is a common trading habit in the crypto market. and so people often buy bitcoins to hold rather than use ETH.

At most, ETH could only hope for it to at least take its previous place before the bearish market after the last great bull run. Although it's showing some signs of life by getting past the $200 mark at the moment, getting to #2 is the more realistic and attainable goal in the short term.

Indeed, but you guys really think it has a chance for ETH to be in the number 1 in the long run?

For me, I don't.. I think ETH might even be dethrone by a better coin, and I am betting BNB would do that soon.
ETH hasn't release its update yet so this year it has not give us significant update yet, which Binance been very consistent.

and what do you mean by that, it is a fee decrease coin for Binance exchange, and they enforce you to hodl it, when comes to new airdrops, i do not see that this will be viable long run, especially since new coins on Binance are with pump and dump tactic, they stuck in price without enough liquidity after few months (HOLO, MBL, BTT), please explain your vision?

[fabiorem]

I think its much better that ethereum stays in 2nd place. If it reached 1st it would suffer heavy speculation and its price would drop violently, to a position where recovery would be too hard.

Also, ethereum is faster than litecoin, monero and dash. Yesterday I sent 2 dollars from one address to the other, and the transaction lasted two seconds, with a fee of 4 cents.

[leetcoiner]

Personally, I think that ETH is unlikely to take first place in the market ever, because in my opinion Bitcoin will always be stronger than alts and no one will be able to overtake Bitcoin.

that is likely to occur when ethereum has developments that can make ethereum supply limited and cannot be mining anymore and there are developments for the expanded payment system process so that many people will use ethereum to make payments then ethereum will compete with bitcoin and possibly be able to shift bitcoin even if only temporarily.

even when we see Ethereum very popular in 2017, it can't replace bitcoin. in fact, sometimes ethereum makes bitcoin position higher. however, there are already many issues that ethereum is rumored to be able to replace bitcoin in position 1 of the cryptocurrency world. however, to date, this does not yet have solid evidence.

[Shasha80]

If what is meant by ethereum is the 1st place compared to other altcoins, that has been materialized from then until now. But if it becomes
the 1st place in the cryptocurrency world it might not happen, because bitcoin is the 1st place. Bitcoin is very hard to beat, the evidence in
the market always dominates by bitcoin. Even now bitcoin dominates up to 66%. With this evidence it is difficult for ethereum to be the
1st place in the cryptocurrency world.

[jahepahit]

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?

what is written in the article is just a reference, and what determines the high and low prices of ethereum will depend on the needs of the public about this coin,sorry .. [Oops! This Page Could Not Be Found]

   I agree with you Shasha80, Bitcoin is and will stay 1st place! Ethereum is great, my favorite after Bitcoin,
but we need to be open for other alt-coins. From last years Ethereum has some serious competitors, we need
to be aware of that. Bitcoin is number one coin, for now Ethereum is number one platform, and it will have
to work a lot to stay there. As we can see BNB, Tezos and some other platforms are doing a great job, getting
more popular!

[roberthays]

Ethereum is a fantastic project and I can see it potentially reaching top spot. However, due to the current size of Bitcoin, it will be a while before that happens so we're going to have to be patient!

[abayan]

I believe in ethereum but as i cn see it will follow bitcoins trend sa it goes up and down so if bitcoin will have a good rally it will rise as well. Ethereum can't go above bitcoin as it is still the king of crypto. i can say that it seems impossible right now for the ethereum until they prove another things that bitcoin can't solve.

[FriedeFritz]

Cryptocurrencies like EOS, Tron, Tezos, Stellar, Cardano and NEO are effectively endeavoring to supplant Ethereum as the smart-contract stage pioneer or share the showcase by maintaining a strategic distance from the mechanical issues issues it has experienced within the past.

In any case, the current showcase cap of Ether is $19,357,015,591, which is 5.5 times bigger than EOS, the closest competitor.

[jarhed]

Of course, ETH will not be able to grow so much as to take first place in the market, it is simply impossible, especially since the gap in capitalization between Bitcoin and ETH is very large.
