btc vs ethereum

[Google+]

If that is the case as you said ETH should have taken over now.
but the fact is btc is still strong in the lead, we will never know the extent of development that will occur in altcoins, but still the one who will be at the top is btc.

ethereum is still having trouble taking over rank from bitcoin, you also know that it seems impossible to be number one because ethereum's currently circulating supply is too much so when the price becomes expensive there will be a hard dump, if this is the case then ethereum can be say you have no chance to beat bitcoin.

BTC vs ETH = decentralized vs centralized
Satoshi has disappeared, while Vitalik is still behind ETH. And I'm confused why smartcontract-based DeFi tokens dare to call themself decentralized while tokens can be locked at any time and even renewed by the developer as in the case of the kucoin hack.

Strongly disagree with this statement. Bitcoin is much more centralized because of China taking over most of bitcoin mining farms.
Moreover, there are no updates for bitcoin which can't be said about eth - and this is crucial in long term.

I do not "strongly disagree", even though I disagree. I think satoshi not being around and vitalik being around does have some sort of meaning. Sure it doesn't make ethereum centralized because we as the people would have to agree with the approach vitalik takes in order for him to change anything, if the people who have ethereum and uses it do not agree with vitalik and do not use his new blockchain, he can't change anything at all, which is what the decentralization is.

People assume decentralization is never changing a single thing but that is not it, blockchains can improve or change but for that to happen almost everyone has to agree, close to 85% accept it, that is why I think there is no centralization problem with bitcoin at all, it is definitely a great decentralized currency.

There will never be more trust in Ethereum than in Bitcoin. This is primarily due to the fact that Ethereum is not a fully decentralized coin. It is good to earn money on ether and its tokens, but it is more reliable to store money in bitcoins. And the fact that bitcoin has the largest capitalization in the crypto market confirms my words.

Bitcoin will be on top ,no coin including Ethereum can take over bitcoin. Though ethereum provides more uses than bitcoin & better technology , transaction costs & time lower than bitcoin but Bitcoin has a lower coin supply and is more liquid than Ethereum.

Ethereum 2.0 is coming soon. will have a huge advantage over Bitcoin. It will have great scalability and very cheap transactions, good support for smart contracts, and a convenient programming language. All this will make it more technologically advanced and popular. I believe that Ethereum will soon have every chance of competing with Bitcoin for leadership in the crypto market.

[kevinzxz]

bitcoin is techically more superior then ETH ,yes but the use cases are bigger for etheruem now!

real utility for ETH ARE BIGGER.

ETH: defi, icos, dapps, stable coins.
also the very good liquitity !!


BITCOIN ?

yes you can buy thigns with btc but so you can do with ETH.

yes what you say is true, but it's not that easy to replace Bitcoin, because there are still many investors who believe to investing in Bitcoin and of course Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency, so that until whenever Bitcoin will remain the king of all cryptocurrency and the price of Bitcoin will be higher than the price of another cryptocurrency, because Bitcoin is the founder of Blockchain system.

[Desscount]

Bitcoin is number 1 on coinmarketcap, while Ethereum is in second place, what distinguishes it is popularity,
Bitcoin marketcap exceeds Ethereum's marketcap, 5x more, of course this leads to the conclusion that Bitcoin is still an asset that investors prefer,
whereas I think Ethereum wins in the technology they built, yes, there is a chance for Ethereum to be number 1, but that's a tricky thing

[vermigerous]

Bitcoin and ethereum has many similarities in terms of their use such as mode of payments for online transactions and as well as other stuffs. Ethereum is there whenever bitcoin was, these two top coins always go together and bitcoin is always on top aince it has more value and more trading volume in crypto market.

Though the Altcoins movements has been seen in the cryptocurrency world but that can't be said that, they will definitely out turn bitcoin from it lead. Even when there are good and promising altcoins projects, there is still none of these altcoins project that will measure up with Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the lead and nothing for now can defeat it from dorminance currently. Ethereum is good among the Altcoins but can't be compared Bitcoin.

[pilosopotasyo]

bitcoin stiil the best , but ethereum looking good. i dont know why i like ethereum better than bitcoin

Most probably because of the the much lower fees and the quick confirmation great for merchants not to mention that there are so many tokens that are on investors portfolio that was created using Ethereum smart contract, but Bitcoin being the original Cryptocurrency and the most adopted is just hard to beat, Ethereum is well established in the second position and I like the placement for both coins.

[MCobian]

It will be a long debate if we compare between Bitcoin and Ethereum, because they both have different functions.
Since its inception, it's clear that Bitcoin was created as a digital currency, while Ethereum was created as a platform.
So they are different and cannot be compared, but never will Ethereum beat Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is proven to be
purely decentralized and Ethereum is not.

[rizkyalhabsy]

first you should know that the father of cryptocurrency is Bitcoin.
it looks like ETH needs more time to match or pass bitcoin. Just look at the past few years, especially in 2017 ETH still can't match bitcoin.
Dominance:
BTC 58.2%
ETH 11.5%
USDT 4.37%

the bitcoin market is very dominance

use Is it safer to store in BTC? Tell this to those who are still waiting for the legendary "flight to the moon" with coins in cold storage when ETH is steadily going up and is not going to stop.
ETH is better than BTC in everything from usability to the fact that it is not as super - stable as BTC.
Again, why do you need cryptocurrency? If you just want to get more dollars, then you should have something to trade without any difference at all. If you still believe in a great crypto future where you can order a taxi and buy coffee with tokens then in this case ETH looks much better because it is much easier to scale and much faster than BTC.
If BTC is a wheel when ETH is already a space Elevator.

[huu78]

it doesn't matter how good the development altcoins are. still btc will continue to lead and also btc is more dominating than all altcoins.
if you ask people who are not very familiar with crypto they will probably answer ohh i only know about btc.
Such is the role of BTC in the public.
most people only know bitcoin and a few high-level alt only.
I doubt for everyone who is new to crypto whether they can name 20 altcoin names correctly.

We can't compare Bitcoin and Ethereum, they are both good coin on their own usage. In fact, they could complement each other, and asset diversification reduces risk. Bitcoin and Ethereum are both are valuable and worth paying for, and both tradeoffs are worth making based on the respective rewards.

[ARTCOINSLV]

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
They complement each other.
Bitcoin is like gold and ethereum is like virtual currency, this has been said a million times   
Closer to me Ehereum !!!

[SirLancelot]

You cannot compare with the trend setter vs the projects that follow it. Ethereum and some coins are really great but they are always possible because of Bitcoins existed and gave the technology required. Yes ETH has more user cases but Bitcoins is still far superior because the value of ETH is actually looked upon into BTC and in my opinion no matter how big ETH or any altcoin becomes but they will always live in the shadow of the Bitcoins.

Yes there will be even better projects than Ethereum in coming time but Ethereum started the smart contracts idea which means no matter how big new projects come but Ethereum will remain superior to them because it set that trend similarly the whole blockchain and cryptocurrency was the trend that Bitcoins set.

I don't know in what way they compliment each other now, they are still in competition with each other, one thing that makes them similar is they have made investors and traders a lot of profit an and traders are still making profit, they are very much different from each other although I have strong believe that Bitcoin will be number for a very long time but Ethereum is catching with the many features and platform that is being introduced to the community.

From your words, it turns out that Ethereum can only be used as a platform. However, this is not at all the case. Ethereum was previously an excellent means of payment in the network of which it was convenient to make payments. Only recently the situation has changed and I have no longer liked making payments in Ethereum. All this happened due to the strong rise in gas prices.

What's important is 'dorminance' among the cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin has been the most dominating among digital currency. Also, the global well known digital currency is Bitcoin and not ethereum. In terms of coins circulation supply, the most circulated among the two cryptocurrency is ethereum while Bitcoin is the  list in supply, so, Bitcoin will be more valuable than the second.
