Bitcoin Versus Ethereum Cryptocurrency Market Share

[arabspaceship123]

BTC: 45.1%
ETH: 17.9%

I'm thinking Ethereum will grow at faster speed than Bitcoin will grow in 2021. Can Bitcoin increase its market share above 50% again in 2021 or will Ethereum gather more momentum to occupy larger shares? Ethereum's now starting to increase the market share which makes Bitcoin dominance shrink.

[Argoo]

Now on the cryptocurrency market, we are seeing significant or small fluctuations in prices and forecasts for the near future are more disappointing than optimistic. In any case, this year I see the possibility of good growth of this market only in the fourth quarter, however, it is unlikely that the price will rise again this year to the previous May heights.
Against the background of the absence of large price achievements of bitcoin, if the update of the ethereum network continues to be carried out systematically and successfully, then it is quite possible that the price of this coin will grow more compared to bitcoin, which means that the price dominance of ethereum will grow.

[passwordnow]

I don't think that Ethereum will surpass the market dominance of bitcoin. We saw how far bitcoin's dominance was during the bull run and Ethereum won't be able to be par.
And this isn't an economics topic, this I think belongs to the Altcoin Discussions since it involves Ethereum which is also an Altcoin.

In terms of market cap, the highest level ever achieved by Ethereum was 31.17% attained in June 2017. From that level, it dipped to less than 10% later, due to various issues. In terms of scalability and fee, Ethereum is in an even worse state when compared to Bitcoin. And the implementation of ETH 2.0 hasn't made much of a difference. So if some cryptocurrency steals market share from Bitcoin in the future, then it is going to be some other altcoin and not Ethereum. Ethereum doesn't have the required scalability and security aspects.

[so98nn]

The economic model will not allow ETH to cross over the market cap of BTC in the future and that's kinda fact. ETH which offers unlimited supply to the market, will keep fulfilling the needs of any volume of demand. Adoption is another factor in this. Though most of the alts are using ETH as "high-way" to run their projects then also the share of project is always kept by those alts itself. Consider ETH as market with big space for running the businesses and they paying their taxes to it for doing so. However, to cop up that space ETH has to keep spending large chunks on developments and reproduce more space.

On the other BTC goes all the way opposite to ETH. It has it's own space, own supply and that too is limited one. Adoption here is faster, limited so more value will be driven into it all the time.

That's how BTC's economic model will keep it on the top all the time.

[mckinleeanael07]

I feel that the current market is not positive, only waiting until the IV quarter or 2022 seems to be more positive than now, as for ETH and BTC, if we look at the development of ETH, it still depends. in the price volatility of BTC increases or decreases and ETH also increases or decreases.

[amishmanish]

You can think what you want. Everybody is free to have an opinion, however stupid it may be, as they have their reasons for them.

Now talking about pure growth, there is nothing that Ethereum is doing differently than what it has already done. People have been learning solidity and deploying a combination of a website, a whitepaper and a smart-contract since 2017 bull-market. In the last 4 years, that has not generated sufficient economic activity for ETH to overtake Bitcoin. The reason being that only a very miniscule percentage of those projects are actually legitimate. If they were actual projects and not money-grabs, this would have happened a long time ago.

Nothing in the future points to this changing. Solidity devs will continue to swindle newbies with false promises. BTC on the other hand is being adopted by nation states and people are actually working towards a decentralized future. Thus, having an opinion that ETH will somehow flip BTC is pretty much nonsensical.

[Gozie51]

BTC: 45.1%
ETH: 17.9%

There is no cause to worry about these figures. Bitcoin drop in price has not really reflected that much on slip from dominance unlike how much percentage in drop in price. At the time of ATH around $63,+++ , it dominance on the market was less than 56% still  but now price is @ $33,+++ and dominance from your figure is 45.1% which IMO is still good for bitcoin.

Etheruem increase in dominance however is not taken from bitcoin but from altcoins as the market is bleeding. Coins like cartesi, curio, dogecoin and more have reduced pricing and volatility which also affects their little percentage dominance.

So bitcoin dominance will eventually increase at the time bull  resumes because etheruem will get a hard time to overtake bitcoin dominance at least not this year or next.

[arabspaceship123]

Did you see any forecasts? What's the proof possible growth in fourth quarter is for sure?

[BrewMaster]

in the end Ethereum still has an unlimited supply and it no longer has the ICO craze of 2017 to get super pumps like those days. it is also already over pumped so there is not much room left for it to be pumped any more.
Vitalik has been working hard day and night to pump ETH and he hasn't been able to pump it yet. they even brought the ICO scam back under another name called DEFI but that scheme also failed to pump it that much.

the only reason why ETH still has a huge market share (cap %) is becaue of its unlimited supply. otherwise if it were a normal altcoin with normal supply it whould have been at the bottom of the list.

Neither is very useful as a currency, so the "market share" of their marketcap dominance is not very useful because it doesn't actually give any indication of which coin is being used as a currency. Without significant changes to scalability, both are going to continue to be horrible currencies with transaction costs that are far too high. But as far as utility, Ethereum's value is as a platform for other projects, not a currency itself, and Bitcoin has no answer to that. So a "flippening" is possible, but don't expect it to happen so quickly.

I personally feel like Ethereum will probably not pass bitcoin in that regard, because it is just way too big of a difference. I understand that ethereum could grow a lot higher, specially with this eth 2.0 stuff it will definitely grow bigger and I feel like we could see something like 40% bitcoin and 25% ethereum around those times, however I do not think that it will be around the same market cap, it just doesn't feel like it could happen.

Of course this is the crypto currency world and everything could happen, I am just making a guess here but it is an educated guess and I can easily say that the most expected outcome would be ethereum growing to a level where it would be rivaling bitcoin but not in the sense that it would get same, it would be just closing the gap and that's about it, I do not think that anything else could happen.

[arabspaceship123]

You're right bitcoin's dominance during the bull run was high. We'll have to wait until the next bull run to see if bitcoin goes back to 70% because Ethereum's closing the gap.

I don't think that Ethereum will surpass the market dominance of bitcoin. We saw how far bitcoin's dominance was during the bull run and Ethereum won't be able to be par.

[lisamendis]

It's seems to be like, bitcoin growth is low and ethereum is high. But the important fact is Bitcoin had struggle to reach the value of 1000$.After huge struggle, bitcoin attention was get into the business people. Once they started to inverse their money, the miracle happened in the bitcoin. Ethereum was grow in short period, because of the dependence of Ethereum is their for the withdrew of tokens.

[Zedpastin]

Ethereum and Bitcoin instead of competing against each other I think will benefit each other for as long as both are around. The success of Ehtereum is off the back of Bitcoin and Bitcoin gets more adoption from Ethereum because Ethereum has started to appeal to more people because it has a lower entry point than Bitcoin. Then people will eventually move onto Bitcoin as their capital increases. The market share will always be skewed in the favor of Bitcoin though.

As far as I know whenever we are in the long bear or bull market the dominance of bitcoin seems high and ethereum will never reach sich stage as of its current price growth level. Ethereum is actually losing its value compared to previous years due to the emergence of other blockchain like Binance smart chain.

If you look at the daily trading volume, the Ethereum trading volume is almost close to the Bitcoin volume. But all crypto is inseparable from Bitcoin price movements. There has been no history of a coin rising without a Bitcoin price increase.
The start for price increase was once made by YFI coin, but it did not hold up well. After a while the price fell below the Bitcoin price. So I think that no coin will ever overtake Bitcoin in all areas.

Bitcoin will remain on top, despite of ETH growing because Bitcoin will also grow. I’d rather have this two great coins in my wallet, bitcoin dominance can’t be killed easily and ETH dominate altcoins so it’s good if you diversify your investment. There’s a lot of rumors that ETH will take over Bitcoin, I don’t believe on this HYPE and numbers wont lie, Bitcoin will still the top coins and will lead the market.

[DapanasFruit]

I am sure that Ethereum has a bigger room to grow but it is assuming that it will be successful in dealing with the many challenges thrown into it like its scalability issues and the unbelievable tx fees the network is getting into which actually a factor why we are seeing the rise of BSC. Ethereum has many use-cases compared to Bitcoin and I heard this from possible experts who are bullish on Eth but it does not mean that eventually Ethereum will overtake Bitcoin in terms of market dominance.

[marissa23]

The dependence is only on BTC, because from the past it has been very clear that when BTC increases, ETH and other coins will also increase sharply, as well as when BTC decreases, and for now BTC is like a road in place.

The dependence of the market will not be separated from the BTC market, altcoins can only increase when the momentum is right but will not last long if the BTC market gradually declines. The BTC market can influence all altcoin price movements but not all altcoins can affect BTC market movements.

[caffu chino]

I feel that the current market is not positive, only waiting until the IV quarter or 2022 seems to be more positive than now, as for ETH and BTC, if we look at the development of ETH, it still depends. in the price volatility of BTC increases or decreases and ETH also increases or decreases.

The dependence is only on BTC, because from the past it has been very clear that when BTC increases, ETH and other coins will also increase sharply, as well as when BTC decreases, and for now BTC is like a road in place.

it is this dependence that causes the crypto market to be viewed badly. all coins depend on bitcoin, no one is independent. all are affected every time bitcoin moves. Likewise with ethereum, although eth is the number 2 largest coin but still not free from the influence of bitcoin.

[arabspaceship123]

What's going to happen to the market if Ethereum rises faster in the next 2 quarters? It's possible some cryptocurrencies have become less dependent on bitcoin to affect their prices.

Ethereum and Bitcoin both are really good investment options but when it comes to market dominance, bitcoin beats ethereum by a lot of margin.
If I were to invest in any one of them I would invest in Ethereum because it has a lot of room to grow.
Not saying that bitcoin is a bad investment but if we compare the both, then ether would rise faster in price than bitcoin and provide better returns.
The best thing here would be to diversify in like 60% - 40% in both ether and bitcoin respectively.
Now is a good time to buy these coins as we are in a really good dip.
We might see a pump in price by the end of this year but that is just a pure speculation.

I have to say there isn't really a "big margin" because at the end of the day we are at just 2.5 or so higher in total market cap. I am not saying that it is not a good margin but to say that there is a big margin would be disingenious because it is not that much.

We know that etheruem is not catching up to bitcoin at anytime, so the difference between them will not be closed too much so why think that ethereum will go up too much compared to bitcoin? I believe that we should be focusing on either bitcoin/ethereum together, or if you want higher returns then you should be focusing on something that is a lot smaller, not just ethereum, but something like top 30 or so or even lower, because they have a lot more room to grow. I personally do not go towards anything lower all that much, I just end up with the top coins because I rather take less risk, crypto is already risky enough.

[aprilnot]

What's going to happen to the market if Ethereum rises faster in the next 2 quarters? It's possible some cryptocurrencies have become less dependent on bitcoin to affect their prices.

it will create new hype and will trigger market recovery. but the probability is very low, because it has never happened that ethereum has grown bigger than bitcoin. for the possibility of altcoins not relying on bitcoin. this is impossible. until whenever altcoins will always need bitcoin to grow.

Bitcoin's dominance can't be reduced any more than this. and this situation will persist for a long time, maybe for the rest of the year we will continue to see the same trend over and over again. and indeed it is possible that ethereum is gaining growth momentum from some of the updates scheduled in the months to come. but I'm sure it won't have much impact on the overall price. and will not make bitcoin's dominance shrink because of it.

[big kid]

ETH is growing and becoming more of a threat to BTC. But it's stiil too early to say that it's gonna surpass BTC. But i don't think BTC is going to get back 50% of market share in this year or maybe ever.

Does it really matter in 2021, there are literally thousands and thousands of other projects and millions are invested in new projects and you think the dominance of Bitcoin should be a talking issue, basically all these projects were created to convert them to Bitcoin and wait for the long run and even now some are in the market to invest in the new projects so that they could convert them to Bitcoin and end up reaping a huge profit.

The margin thing is big according to me because I am looking at it from the amount of money required to match the margin of bitcoin.
Ethereum would need almost $375 billion more to match the market cap of bitcoin and that is some huge amount of money.
If we look at it from your perspective then yes 2.5 times would definitely seem like a small number.

Talking about the amount of growth, we are comparing bitcoin and ethereum here which is why I didn't talk about any other altcoin.
Ofcourse as you said, there are other coins which do have more room to grow.
I would personally diversify my portfolio with less risky coins and a little decent risky coins  (except for the fact that all coins are risky)

Actually ethereum was lagging too much when the whole crypto market is in the bullish rush but fortunately at the end ethereum managed to gain price and dropped to the half of its all time high now which itself a surprise to me because I never expected the price of ethereum to reach $4000 in this run.

ETH 2.0 may help the different to shrink faster but the rollout is almost at the dead speed so BSC is taking all the advantage if it.

[arabspaceship123]

Ethereum's increasing it's percentages and it's becoming much more of a threat to Bitcoin you're right. It's reasonable to assume Bitcoin's going get above 50% in the next bull run because it's what happens to Bitcoin when a bull run's in action.

ETH is growing and becoming more of a threat to BTC. But it's stiil too early to say that it's gonna surpass BTC. But i don't think BTC is going to get back 50% of market share in this year or maybe ever.

I don't think like you, quite the opposite. what is happening now and forever I think BTC market share will still be superior to ETH, and I also speculate that ETH market share will continue to decline in 2021. this is in my opinion.

[apa don]

ETH is growing and becoming more of a threat to BTC. But it's stiil too early to say that it's gonna surpass BTC. But i don't think BTC is going to get back 50% of market share in this year or maybe ever.

Yes, it's true and I totally agree, BTC and ETH are well-known or most popular Cryptocurrency market assets at this time, and there is not yet a Cryptocurrency market asset that is able to drop or compete with BTC and ETH, because BTC and ETH are in great demand in investment or investment. Cryptocurrency market assets than others.
and BTC and ETH promise future projects or long-term projects.

[RealMalatesta]

ETH 2.0 may help the different to shrink faster but the rollout is almost at the dead speed so BSC is taking all the advantage if it.

I do agree that 2.5 times is not a lot and I do believe that it may go down and I do believe that price could double very quickly after the eth 2.0, they are all "possible" and at the same time one of them will not happen. Think about it, if the bear market comes then the price will drop obviously, this big drop on eth is exactly the same as the other ones, think about it this way bitcoin dropped from 64k to 30k as well so that is more than 50% drop, same goes for ethereum as well as you could expected. So this is not something shocking, and if another drop happens then that is going to happen to ethereum as well as any other coin as well.

So there is basically nothing you could do about it, but if eth 2.0 comes that could change things as well nobody can say it won't, so I have to say it really looks like maybe we are going to either go up with eth 2.0, or we are not going to see another bear run, I have no idea which one will happen first.

Why do we always make comparisons between eth and bitcoin as they don't share any relativity or anything common in between them and completely different models of working.But for you clarification I will mention some points:

ETH have its own blockchain and other projects can use it and build their projects over it and we see many ERC-20 tokens being generated and smart contact,DeFi projects being deployed over it.

The eth adoption is being increasing with all these projects using it and many companies also adopting eth blockchain and moreover the prices are way too low than btc and people want to invest the funds in it as they find it potential investment source and you will need billion dollars investment to move btc Market cap but on the other side less amounts can move altcoin prices which we need to understand completely.

So in the long run btc will stay ahead of every coin inspite of low growth compared to other coins so know this fact.

[Rampagoe004]

For now there is no coin that can equalize the dominance of bitcoin including ethreum and we can see the decline of bitcoin continues to occur and ethreum also follows the flow of bitcoin, so we can not say ethreum there is greater momentum than bitcoin, but for the future we do not know if there are altcoins that can dominate the price of bitcoin.

[Investo20]

Ethereum has it's founder, known team, known codes.
Bitcoin hasn't. At this point of market Ethereum is upgrading itself in every aspects to make the users happy but till now bitcoin hasn't done anything since the launch and I think there will be none in future also. This is the most positive and negative thing about bitcoin. As no team controls Bitcoin it it most trustworthy. So It may happen that in some days Ethereum marketcap grows but when crypto will be acceptable legally in most countries then the institutional investors and billionaires will prefer Bitcoin instead of Ethereum. Even now also. So Bitcoin stands the greater chance.

[Slow death]

Despite ETH being an altcoin with great potential, I don't see ETH surpassing bitcoin, because bitcoin is decentralized and has a lot of demand, even when bitcoin has a high transaction cost, people continue to use bitcoin. ie regardless of the pros and cons people continue to use bitcoin. But in the case of ETH things are different, whenever there is a new project people prefer new projects competing with ETH, we saw what happened when ETH had high transaction rates and BNB offered a practice solution, people simply left ETH and started using BNB

Ethereum has it's founder, known team, known codes.

and adding that when an altcoin it has an owner, the risks are high, if one day the altcoin owner is involved in something obscure and then he speaks ill of the altcoin he created then the altcoin he created will drop in price

[arabspaceship123]

I'm not making comparisons between their operations model we know they're operating in different ways. This thread's about market share. It wouldn't be a huge shock if Ethereum takes 20% share after 5 months.

BTC: 45.1%
ETH: 17.9%

I'm thinking Ethereum will grow at faster speed than Bitcoin will grow in 2021. Can Bitcoin increase its market share above 50% again in 2021 or will Ethereum gather more momentum to occupy larger shares? Ethereum's now starting to increase the market share which makes Bitcoin dominance shrink.

[arabspaceship123]

July this year BTC: 45.1% ETH: 17.9%
December this year BTC: 41.6% ETH: 21.1%

Ethereum's closing the gap on bitcoin share that's proved from the date of this thread. I'm thinking it's going to dent more inside Bitcoin space because investors know about  Ethereum's price and how it's rising.

[andyou1234]

I don't think there's any point in comparing these two crypto kings, because their operating models are very different from each other, even though ETH is very popular for developing a blockchain that can operate projects to be able to grow using their network, but will not be able to beat the popularity of BTC forever. , because I think BTC is the parent of all kinds of altcoins,

[manok jepang]

I don't think there is a need to compare ETH and BTC because of course bitcoin is superior to ethereum, for now nothing can match the popularity of BTC, as we all know when BTC is experiencing a decline, ethereum also follows the movement of bitcoin, so we can't make a decision does ethereum have any chance or momentum to surpass BTC's current achievements and possibly for a long time,

[Samurai trieng]

Until now I have not found an altcoin that can compete with bitcoin's dominance, even altcoins in the ethereum class, no matter how great the potential of other coins, but still following the flow of bitcoin, the proof is that when bitcoin goes down other coins will also follow its movement, from here we can conclude that bitcoin is the parent of cryptocurrency.

I'm thinking Ethereum will grow at faster speed than Bitcoin will grow in 2021. Can Bitcoin increase its market share above 50% again in 2021 or will Ethereum gather more momentum to occupy larger shares? Ethereum's now starting to increase the market share which makes Bitcoin dominance shrink.

And this is likely to happen, the growth of bitcoin slows down when the price goes up so much, while Ethereum is growing and growing rapidly, but to dominate I don't think ethereum will be able to overtake bitcoin, a lot of people are more confident in the long term towards bitcoin at this time, if compared to the long term development of ethereum.

Bitcoin's too big on popularity but Ethereum's famous too. I'm not comparing them because they're operating on different models but it's about money about which one's going to give better profit. Ethereum's low price is attractive. Bitcoin's high price isn't.

I don't think there's any point in comparing these two crypto kings, because their operating models are very different from each other, even though ETH is very popular for developing a blockchain that can operate projects to be able to grow using their network, but will not be able to beat the popularity of BTC forever. , because I think BTC is the parent of all kinds of altcoins,

It's normal for cryptocurrencies going down when Bitcoin's going down. In use cases how many people use bitcoin compared with Ethereum when it's got contracts for uses? Investors feel comfortable investing in Bitcoin other they'd be jumping to Ethereum.

Until now I have not found an altcoin that can compete with bitcoin's dominance, even altcoins in the ethereum class, no matter how great the potential of other coins, but still following the flow of bitcoin, the proof is that when bitcoin goes down other coins will also follow its movement, from here we can conclude that bitcoin is the parent of cryptocurrency.

Most crypto go down with bitcoin and follow it's price movement but the fact that ethereum dominance is getting bigger this means that it is being more popular than any other coin but obviously it cannot compete with bitcoin and definitely can't overthrow bitcoin to become the king of crypto. Use cases of bitcoin are limited as compared to ethereum so in the future ethereum market share is going to be even more than the current one.

To compete I think it is possible, but to replace bitcoin there is no chance for ethereum, indeed ethereum is increasing until now, just look at the more users who transact with ethereum, even this coin is able to be in second position in crypto for such a long period of time , while many other coins have the same odds, that's why I say competing is very likely for ethereum.
