If an Altcoin has a chance to overtake Ethereum, which one would it be?

[republicrypto]

for now i think binance coin and cardano has a chance to overtake ethereum,
especially if the fees on ethereum network still high mate
but if we look at the market capitalizations of ethereum, look like impossible for another altcoins to beat ethereum
regards

[VanDeinsberg12]

It would be bnb since binance is growing so rapidly it affect their coin greatly but other than that it's gonna be polkadot, why? because this coin has been discussed frequently among people and people out there who don't really know that deeply about crypto some of them already know coin like polkadot but maybe thats just around my circle. overall, it's bnb that has the highest chance but its centralized so...

we must first see what to beat. because looking at the price, of course, many altcoins are already more expensive than ethereum. but from the market capitalization, other altcoins will definitely lose to ethereum. not to mention the adoption of the ethereum blockchain, I think, is higher than other blockchains.
when Binance can do it I think the competition for BNB and ETH may be tighter in the market.

Ethereum fees are increased A LOT and it makes much more sense to stop sending transactions because we won’t make a profit from purchased coins, especially on Uniswap. If we don’t need to send a transaction, it makes much more send to avoid it and wait for cheaper fees.
But avoiding transactions shouldn’t be an issue for a well working platform. It is not how Blockchain should work. Ethereum has huge issues and it needs to be solved from Ethereum developers.

If it’s not gonna solved soon, we will see coins rising providing a better, cheaper and faster platform, where everyone can use it again and don’t suffer from high fees.
Many projects are building own solutions currently, to address expensive Ethereum’s weakness. It is quite hard to get an overview.

Here is my ranking list for coins if a coin has a chance to overtake Ethereum, which one would it be:

1. Avalanche. Avalanche is completely different from existing projects and experts have given Avalanche a high chance to be a big game changer for Blockchain and mainstream adoption because of interoperability, great decentralization and scalability in addition to low transaction fees. Avalanche was reviewed by SEQ and received a positive rating: https://medium.com/avalanche-hub/avalanche-consensus-the-biggest-breakthrough-since-nakamoto-66e9917fd656
2. Tezos. Tezos has been developed diligently be Tezos devs. It’s a solid, but very undervalued project. Tezos was reviewed by Blockgeeks and received a positive rating: https://blockgeeks.com/guides/what-is-tezos/
3. IOTA. IOTA has been a leading project for innovative approaches but IOTA developers had difficulties to deliever. Currently, IOTA is very undervalued and can be a very wise pick because IOTA has made huge developments recently, like IOTA Chrysalis (IOTA 1.5). IOTA description and analysis: https://medium.com/iotatangle/chrysalis-iota-1-5-phase-1-now-live-on-mainnet-958ec4a4a415
4. Cosmos. Cosmos is a promising project for a scaling blockchain platform. It wasn’t hyped yet because developers are still diligently building. However, experts have some concerns of being too centralized and Cosmos has too high inflation. Cosmos was reviewed by SEQ and received a mixed rating: https://medium.com/@CryptoSeq/cosmos-an-early-in-depth-analysis-at-the-ecosystem-of-connected-blockchains-part-one-508cd679bac5
5. Waves. Waves is an established network of a next generation Ethereum platform but has failed so far to meet expectations. However, it is a big and experienced developer team and Waves seems to be very undervalued currently.
6. Solana. Solana has started developing under Anatoly Yakovenko’s hatch just recently. It has made big progress and is shilled by prominent YouTubers and marketing figures. Anatoly Yakovenko has developed a good marketing strategy but it remains unclear, if Solana can be a top aspirant for DeFi, because concerns remained, when Anatoly Yakovenko could not respond to critics sufficiently, when he was recently confronted. Solana received an endorsement from Coinbureau: https://www.coinbureau.com/review/solana-sol/
7. Polkadot. Polkadot was invented by Gavin Wood, who developed Ethereum before. Polkadot has already established a big ecosystem and is still growing. But a high inflation, limited scalability and centralisation (dPoS) are issues for Polkadot. Polkadot was reviewed by SEQ and received a mixed rating: https://medium.com/@CryptoSeq/polkadot-an-early-in-depth-analysis-part-three-limitations-and-issues-d8b0a795a3e
8. Cardano. Cardano has already a very high Marketcap and it’s very likely an overvalued coin. Cardano was started almost 5 years ago from Charles Hoskinson, an abandoned Ethereum developer. Cardano has constantly developed but in addition to a good marketing strategy, it hasn’t achieved a working mainnet platform of contracts, like Ethereum. Release was always pushed back and promised “soon” (you know). Delays are usual for Cardano.
9. Algorand. Algorand was very promising before it started but a bad planned ICO and a huge dump after launch, where VC and rich participants sold, caused a dump from 3$ to 0.20$ and left a huge loss for many members. Wasted opportunity but developers are still building.

Ethereum 2.0 remains superior here because it is not included in my list but we need to see how Ethereum 2.0 will look like. Ethereum 2.0 will be huge, for sure, but until it is live, competitors have a chance of overtaking Ethereum.

What’s your list of potential coins overtaking Ethereum?

IMHO, I believe that Cosmos, Tezos, and Polkadot have the capacity to achieve it. But I think you missed an important and potential coin too which is the Binance Coin or BNB, As I see it today BNB is not only a simple exchange utility coin, after the Launch of Binance SmartChain or BSC the potential of BNB was also unlocked as we see it today the coin price was already skyrocketed and I believe that the price rally has not ended yet, the BNB will continue to surprise us all in years to come.   

[Fivestar4everMVP]

In my own opinion, binance coin shouldn't have been left out of the list, it's a kind of disrespect if I should use that word, all other projects you've mentioned are all very good but based on what binance has been able to achieve so far, and based on its rank in the current coin market capitalization, binance coin should be the number one on the list of coins that are capable of over taking Ethereum anytime of the day.

Nice summary!

Two projects: Waves and NEM (soon to be renamed to SYMBOL). From a technical point of view, these are the projects that can hold a candle to Ethereum without the disadvantages (high fees for instance).

In the second row I would then see Cardano (especially with the scientific aspect) and to some extent Solana.

Should IOTA be able to keep its promise with the Coordicide in the next few months, then the list is done anyway. Then IOTA is clearly better than Ethereum. However, the project is currently still suffering from its not that great decentralization solution.

I wonder why hardly anyone lists Neo and EOS anymore. I've been saying for years that these are completely overrated projects from a technology point of view and now it seems many have realized this, too.

What’s your list of potential coins overtaking Ethereum?

It is strange to see no tron in the list im saying that because tron is already working blockchain network that does everything that ethereum does and is very cheap and smooth to transact so it should be there because it is popular already as an eth alternative in all segments of crypto business whether it is defi, tokenization or usdt.

I don't know did you guys follow the recant developments on Cardano. There is a reason why the price is pumping cause they have a big year in front. From this stand point Cardano has the best chance to surpass Etherium.

[goaldigger]

ETH is the top altcoin but of course competition on this market are increasing as well so there’s a chance that one day, we’ll see a new coins on the top position. Based on the list, only ADA and DOT has the chance to take over but if you’re going to add BNB on the list, then I’ll go for BNB. Anyway, i’m sure that ETH will also grow together with those good projects so it will be hard for them to beat ETH, only time can tell for this one.

[seleme]

Coins you mentioned have great potential to be among the best cryptocurrencies, not all of them, but some of them can. However, l could not see BNB among your lists, in my opinion, BNB is one of the best cryptocurrencies, which has more chance than other altcoins to overtake Ethereum. l mean everything is possible in this world, l agree with this opinion. But if we are talking about ETH, l think there will not be any place changing in the future. ETH is the second-best cryptocurrency for either me or other people. l can not imagine that there will be any coin in the near future which can overtake ETH. None would it be.

BNB and Kucoin shares have the potential to go higher than the previous ATH level but it is a cat-mouse game after this recent market movement. For long-term investing, waiting for the correction and buying at the cheaper prices will boost the return on the investment rate, I also prefer to wait for the perfect market circumstances before doing rush trades.

[palle11]

Some coins already mentioned in your list but I kinda feel curious to see that why didn't you list binance or your list? Does decentralization of binance becomes your main concern to exclude binance from your list?

I will also pick out binance to be the coin. One reason and that major to the decision is that during the bull that etheruem fees was high, many investors started utilizing binance for a reduced fee and this was why binance had a fantastic move lately. So it is possible to do an overtake against etheruem.

[Dragonfund]

This is just as if you want to say ibing list of an altcoins that will over take bitcoin but it doesn't happen overnight. Bitcoin in it early days also has it up and down though Ethereum has really really becomes a pieces 0f shit that no longer accommodate small and reatil investors.
Those are real projects you have mentioned but public opinion also is very essential. The whales hardly abandoned a project especially when they hold bags from tiny price, they don't abandon projects during their days of down time, Ripple is an example, they don't just want to abandon the project despite the hate from other communities, the same thing applies to Ethereum.  

[jostorres]

especially if the fees on ethereum network still high mate
but if we look at the market capitalizations of ethereum, look like impossible for another altcoins to beat ethereum

It's theoretically impossible to outperform Ethereum because of the massive number of tokens being made on the ETH blockchain but if there is any coin that can do it, it has to be BNB like you said. That's because the Binance chain is being actively used for new projects apart from that maybe DOT has a chance or ADA if they can continue gaining interest from investors and traders.

It would be bnb since binance is growing so rapidly it affect their coin greatly but other than that it's gonna be polkadot, why? because this coin has been discussed frequently among people and people out there who don't really know that deeply about crypto some of them already know coin like polkadot but maybe thats just around my circle.

For sure, DOT is being touted as the next big coin but I am not sure if it can actually take over Ethereum because there are just too many projects being made on ETH and I don't think any coin can have that many projects built on them, no matter which coin it is.

[ScamViruS]

In the crypto market it is normal for a new top coin to arrive, leaving behind a top coin. ETH is currently a strong top coin in the market, so it will not be an easy task to overtake eth.
However, it is natural that there will be competition in the market and better projects will come to the market.

I think there are a few coins on the market right now that can compete with eth. Those are ADA, DOT, BNB, I will give more priority to these projects to see the next top coins.

[adekogbe]

If we are you be realistic i think of all the projects that's have listed here, only polkadot has a realistic chance of competing closely with ethereum. And that is because ethereum is still king of Blockchain and smart contract projects.
However polkadot has a good chance to dominate the DeFi projects space. If it reaches its full potential with Defi projects, polkadot can come really close to ethereum in its level of adopted use cases.

[Darktongue]

Now I think only a single has a higher chance, which is Binance coin. But Binance blockchain transaction cost must be lower than now. Although after the next hardfork of Ethereum, any other coin can't be replaced by Ethereum. The gas limit per block is 25 million, which will double from now.

[Renampun]

I'm also very positive with Cardano...
I was excited when the CEO of ADA said that the ADA fork would give users the opportunity to create their own tokens, it meant that ETH's rivals were growing. besides that I am also very positive about the growth of BSC, the opportunity to shift eth is very big.

[jaberwock]

Ethereum 2.0 remains superior here because it is not included in my list but we need to see how Ethereum 2.0 will look like. Ethereum 2.0 will be huge, for sure, but until it is live, competitors have a chance of overtaking Ethereum.

What’s your list of potential coins overtaking Ethereum?

I think the news of Ethereum 2.0 being around the corner makes it quite impossible for all these coins to be able to overtake it. When it comes to the altcoins world, Ethereum is in a position like Bitcoin is in the cryptocurrency market; it has this advantage of being the first and popular, and that makes it very hard for any other coin to be able to overtake the coin.

But anyway, if I am to choose any coin that should do that, it’s definitely going to be Avalanche for me, but this coin is in a position that is very far from accomplishing that, so I would go for Cardano and Polkadot; Cardano is currently at the third position as of writing this, with a market cap of $37 billion.

[dhemasm]

From that list Polkadot Have higher Chance to overtake Ethereum, Yes it's still have tons of bug but still it have an great Concept with Solid Team & Community. Beside that Cardano was also good, Too many delay but still also have good development, Not on the List, BSC even it's limited with only small Validators and Centralized but still good for alternative especially on some DeFi Platform. I also heard about Avalance but not really understand about it for now, Maybe will read it later.

[Sterbens]

You missed BNB, because we all agree that the potential for BNB is huge to become a high competitor for Ethereum. For a simple example, when Ethereum shipping costs were not friendly, BNB was present, and more sensitive offered us a tantalizing offer. In short, BNB is like saying "we provide low fees so let's wait let alone leave Ethereum"
