Ethereum May Surpass Bitcoin’s Market Cap in the Next 10 Years

[Fivestar4everMVP]

i dont think that any coin can surpass btc in near future.
btc is king, eth is second and xrp is third.
the other coin will race for top 10.

^ your opinion really makes more sense than the OP opinion. Bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrencies and will not be able to be overtaken by other cryptocurrencies including Ethereum. Ethereum and Bitcoin will continue to be where they are forever.

I think the OPs opinion makes more sense now since we've seen xrp leave the third position to sit in the seventh position according to today's coinmarketcap data, as of during writing this post, usdt was third and BNB was forth, this is to prove to us that no coin is fixed in their current position even bitcoin, they are all likely to drop their position for a more worthy coin to take over when the time comes.
Bitcoin isnt fixed to number 1 in coin ranking though it might be the king of cryptocurrency, but remember that a king does not remain a king forever, he either dies and his son or some other family takes over rulership or he's forced out of office if he's under-performing for someone else more deserving, better and worthy to take over the mantle of leadership.
So my conclusion, if op believes that Ethereum will some day take over bitcoins position, never say it's impossible because many things we thought were impossible to happen already happened before our very eyes.

of course this is very possible, because ETH has not yet released ETH 2.0 which is predicted to shake the crypto world, which I strongly believe that the price of ETH will skyrocket at that time and could reach at least $10k . in the next 10 years there is a very high possibility for ETH to be able to take 1st position in the marketcap.

ETH 2.0 is NOT gonna shake the crypto world, it's just fixing a gas problem that's already solved by now because traffic in ETH chain is decreasing.

 if ETH 2.0 rolls out it's just gonna be your another crypto day with ETH but lesser gas fee which is pretty much ordinary, not increasing scarcity and all in all very little have to do with its price.
I prefer watching bitcoin's sidechain that enables defi in bitcoin rather than seeing a solution that's supposed to solve gas fee but the problem is already gone long before ETH 2.0 even rolls out, so funny.

Not really an exceptional upgrade if i would say but lowering the gas is really a good change but we have seen this before into those times where ETH does have really some cheap fees and fast confirmation and it is just demand had bloated up which did really make the pool busy and made the gas more expensive but lately it had been coming cheap but not as cheap as before but still demand was there.I do see the same thing that this wont really make a change or shake crypto world even if they do make out 2.0 but lets see on what would happen because everything would really be varying on publics
reaction towards such changes and time will surely tell.

It will happen sooner than 10 years - but only if Bitcoin does not hit 1 Million. Confusing I know.

These are facts as the gas price has dropped considerably even without ETH 2.0 because developers and users migrated to other chains which makes sense because they are sick of the high gas fees and they could maintain that even without migrating and with the total number of coins in existence there is a possibility that it could surpass but even if it does then it does not make much of a difference.

The scenario is changing every year, Ethereum could surpass Bitcoin in the next ten years but what about other coins they are also competitive, ten years from now it could be between this token and another token that will become Bitcoin tough competitor, look at Binance it is building its momentum and many are shifting to Binance now, and many more tokens are on the rise, thanks to DeFi, it creates momentum on other coins.

There are at least half a dozen different networks that can realistically displace Ethereum. Every new altcoin nowadays can do smart contracts and defi. Replacing Bitcoin is much more difficult. There isn't any alternatives to Bitcoin that have all the features that make it unique. Dogecoin might be good for payments but it is not a good store of value. Bcash is a complete joke and Litecoin only copy and pastes whatever Bitcoin does. Monero is still out there and doing well but since it is primarily focused on privacy there is always a chance that a better privacy coin will come along. If the market was more rational then Bitcoin's dominance should be much higher than it is right now.

the thing about BTC is its scarcity that keeps growing day by day, some people gonna lost BTC like sending to wrong inactive address, etc

it could make bitcoin more valuable because of that but also can be a double edged sword if you think about it, less and less circulating supply of BTC in the market and if we dont calculate fully diluted market cap the amount of market cap of BTC could decrease overtime and the only solution to that is the price of btc keep growig up linearly helping it mantain its position as number 1 coin by market cap.

You are absolutely right, the scarcity of bitcoin is also one of the reasons it so expensive in price today, cus we all know that the more  coins a project has in circulation, the less expensive the coin is even with a high market cap, but the thing now is that coinmarketcap does not rank a coin based on its price but the rank based on its market cap.
So right now, I think the advantage Ethereum has over bitcoin is that Ethereum has no fixed supply which means that in the future, the current number of Ethereum coins in circulation as reported by coinmarketcap is likely to go up, if this happens and Ethereum is able to maintain its current price and bitcoin also maintained it current price, then for sure, in the future, Ethereum is likely to over take bitcoin in market capitalization.

You know what makes me feel better? If big money is involved it’s good to hold. Bitcoin is master piece and number one product in coinmarketcap. BTC  market cap is too high to compete. Pretty sure anyone anytime bought in a huge amount, so profitable than anything other. There's so much ETH competitor in the market, it's not good over emphasized on just single product but diversify our investment.

[Wong Gendheng]

Seeing the dynamic market conditions I'm sure I won't wait 10 years, maybe 4 years or less. of course this can be achieved, the bitcoin market cap continues to decline, and now for the daily transaction volume Tether is the largest, and Tether is an Ethereum-based token so that the use of ETH will continue to increase.

[Inspiron14]

indeed there is such a possibility, but ethereum and bitcoin are clearly different, ethereum is a smart contract or also called a smart contract platform,
and bitcoin is a pure blockchain technology without any smart contracts, and if analyzed Ethereum is a blockchain company, and Bitcoin is a financial revolution,
of course it will be very difficult for ethereum to be able to shift bitcoin in terms of marketcap

[tabas]

I don't think that even in the next 4 years or lesser than that, the market cap of bitcoin will be surpassed by any other cryptocurrencies. A lot of forecasts and predictions said the same but it didn't do any good.

and now for the daily transaction volume Tether is the largest, and Tether is an Ethereum-based token so that the use of ETH will continue to increase.

USDT got the highest volume but that's still different from the market capitalization.

The way the demand for ethereum is growing in the crypto market it is expected that ethereum will surpass the market cap of bitcoin in the next 10 years. But the price of other currencies along with ethereum will depend on bitcoin as the price of bitcoin rises so will their value.

That's true but ETH market cap is still too big to get overtaken easily in my opinion, the 3rd coins have relatively low gap compared to the 4th coin that's why the position keep shifting overtime but eth has established quite strong market cap as its foundation to retain its position.
on the other hand project like cardano could be a strong competitor in the future, but bitcoin with defi is what gonna steal market dominance once it's booming and people figures it out, so many factors that could actually change the crypto market as a whole but not really much people knows about it.

- Ethereum knows how to increase their capitalization, bitcoin will also seek to attract capitalization by its potential, the two have been arranged to become rivals but this era is choosing bitcoin as a best product, not value or technology, it's in the form of trust. Feel and look at history, the first moments we always see are bitcoin's lead in every crypto life, I don't know by any method or force, the value of bitcoin is still stronger than ethereum while looking at the mission of ethereum, very variable but failure is still the norm every year, a destiny is to fall at the feet of bitcoin

[DOH!]

Agree with this point. In the future, ethereum will be more beneficial than bitcoin, especially ETH has a good CEO Vitalik.

In the next few years bitcoin will be outdated because many other coins can provide more benefits than bitcoin.

- The obsolescence from bitcoin is a factor that we talk about a lot when other technologies are becoming superior and have greater strengths but what is surprising is that despite such obsolescence, bitcoin remains an integral part of crypto. In addition, what many people think is outdated always seems to set up an isolation zone, altcoins cannot encroach on the lands that bitcoin owns, ethereum has also attacked the land of bitcoin for many years but it still has no chance to step in here, maybe the future will not be touched

I think Ethereum has a great opportunity to increase its market cap this year.  They have good news from ETH 2.0 and very potential from ETFs.  If everything goes well, it could create a huge incentive for people to get into ETH.  However, it will be necessary if bitcoin is still leading the market and until bitcoin dominance drops, it is very likely that ETH will catch up.

[ahoenk]

If ypu wish ethereum will surpassed bitcoin in term of matketcap it will never happen. Ethereum it self economically based on bitcoin. Ethereum ICO was 1btc = 2000 ethereum if i am not mistaken. Ethereum is good altcoin with good features but bitcoin is still the safest network on earth. And weeks ago is the proof that if bitcoin crash whole altcoin will crash too.

[clarkt]

Ten years is a lots in cryptocurrency,  bitcoin and ethereum may not even exist then.  I believe that bitcoin will continue to be valuable and and it will continue to  be gold standard of digital currency! Ethereum has also have it's path made. Ethereum will continue to be the versatile altcoin that will be useful in economy,  banking and finance,  maritime etc!

[LUCKMCFLY]

I think that BTC can continue to shine a lot, it is something little credible to say that ETH will exceed it, maybe it can exceed it when it rises with a higher percentage, however, it is more likely that new ATH will reach ETH faster than BTC:

As Ethereum approached its next leg towards $2,900, a break was expected to the upside. The RSI, in particular, should be observed over the coming days as it could give a sense of market direction. A successful breakout from ETH’s ascending triangle could see it retake the $3,600-level over the coming days.

You hear a lot of rumors that it can reach 3600usd quickly, but it's all a matter of waiting for the moves of the Bitcoin King, the ETH bulls are waiting to take profits.

Remember that the market cap of bitcoin didn't decline linearly neither increase linearly, it's up and down. sometime it could go up to above 70% it could go down to below 40% this is what people usually forgot when judging BTC market cap

but one thing that could make the odd of ETH surpass BTC in market cap bigger is the uncapped total supply of ETH and if the price could stay like this for another decade it could surpass btc in market cap but i heard eip1559 gonna burn some portion of coin for every transaction.
