I am wondering if Bitcoin gradually ceases to be relevant…

You'll stop wondering when Etherium bubble pops.

Its not a bubble, its a computer

and Bitcoin is a calculator

Computers are hackable. Calculators aren't.
Bitcoin is money. Ethers aren't.

Ethereum never wanted to be money

With respect, Ethereum doesn't want things, just as a blockchain doesn't want things. Ethereum can function in many ways and its users decide upon how they want to use it. Utilisation as a currency is one such use. Ethereum has a unitary value and can be traded for things just like money. When POS comes in, holders of Ethereum will be rewarded with units of value (interest) i.e. currency (money).

Money is stored up energy. So too is fuel. Ether is the crypto-fuel of the Ethereum network. It was designed to be used as money e.g. it is used to pay the members of the network for the resources they consume (mining). This payment aspect confirms that one of Ethereum's 'wanted' uses is to function as money and it was a 'wanted' design feature that it could function in such a way.

Granted, Ethereum is capable of much more, but to function as money is one of Ethereum's intended design capabilities. I know other competing cryptos would like to obscure its use as money, but Ethereum is used as money. Further, it is listed as a currency on the Crypto-Currency Market Capitalizations' website and is second only to Bitcoin in its valuation as a currency.

If the Ethereum price stays about 0.02 for the next 6 months, will people still think it is a bubble?

Let's wait 6 month then. I bought a few ETH just in case :-P But I also believe the bubble will pops soon or later.

I think now is a bad time to buy now. No altcoin has ever seen a rise like bitcoin.
Most (look at DASH) go up in a pump and then go back to their normal level.

ETH is not just an altcoin.

Most altcoins are different branches, originating from Bitcoin.

Ethereum is built from scratch and can run DAPPS.

I expect it to rise for a long period, with some small dumps now and then.

Ethereum marketcap is bigger than all altcoins combined together.

Why everyone keeps believing this is just a bubble? I guess people are blind and don't see the forest from the trees in front of them. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Bitcoin is screwing up while Ethereum is inventing on the daily basis. People are just diversifying, nothing else.

i cant get enough of this,lol cheers for filling my orders and ive set a few more traps....remember this...ETH could go down in price but whoever dumps large amounts, you will not get your coins back cheaper Tongue

With so much happening with ETH tech wise and the behind the scenes major development Wink

, ETH will be $10+ within 3-6months, imo ETH will be number 2, worth over a $billion cap and if btc keeps fkn up we could see the unthinkable...ETH becomes #1
In this coin for the long term, accumulate as much as you can, sit back and relax

https://forum.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-discussion/segwit-forked-unexpectedly-on-testnet-t6111.html oops,lol but dont worry, they say,lol

Is this the begining of the end of BTC?
Is this when ETH grows up and becomes the son that replaces his father business because hes now old and tired, Tongue

I don't think ETH will hurt BTC.
Marketcap may/will grow bigger but they can exist next to each other and BTC could grow because of the succes of ETH and FCT.

I think the way Bitcoin is going will mean it will eventually slip into the hands of the banks and large corporations who will eventually be the only ones capable of harnessing the immense computer power to keep it going.

I welcome the recent developments with Ethereum which will have a major impact. I don't think the news of the quantum leap that Ethereum has made has filtered through into the mainstream consciousness yet.

I still think $100 is on the cards sooner than later when I expect there will be a shakedown in the altcoinworld and in the global economy. By the way, Ethereum has broken through the $10 barrier again today.

On today's figures, if Ethereum hits $81 it would displace Bitcoin as #1. Now that really would be an earth-shaking event.

Current Coin Market Caps

Bitcoin: ...... $ 6,235,284,118
Ethereum: .... $ 802,307,368

No other altcoins come close.

its getting there....is ETH becoming BTC's store of value...... Shocked

guess u still carry a calculator with you ,lol
i carry a computer (my mob ,lol) and it can do alot more than the calculator in your pocket,lol
oh and guess which ones worth more...even though the calculator came first.....

I'm using same calculator for the last 20 years and I don't need a new one. It doesn't even need a battery.
I'm changing my computers every 2-3 years. What will be the next fashionable computer after Etherium in 2 years?

wow 20yrs, welldone and i hope it lasts you at least another 20, as for the pc updating, ill let u know in 2yrs time Tongue

mine usually last around 5yr, kinda like btc , next yr will be 5 years for me and now ive began upgrading Wink

ETH is amazing.

But let's be honest, a huge number of people don't "like" BTC because of the "Volatility" of the currency, they don't feel BTC as a "safe harbor"... but look, ETH is much more, much, much more... even if it's in the very beginning, the price goes up and down very quick... over the day, the price (or the percentage) goes very high than it goes down, down, then it hits the normal price.... I really like ETH, but right now it's verycrazy, you can earn lotta money in a day but you can lose it very quick too. But that's normal and that's what happened with BTC (happen yet), but in my opinion ETH has this "kinda siuation" in a much higher speed (at least now).
