Quite an interesting confrontation and it will be interesting to watch this, but I think the etherium will approach bitcoin in 5 years
It will be interesting I agree on that but I do not think that ETH is going to get close to bitcoin in those five years in fact I think is going to happen the opposite, bitcoin will put even more distance between ETH and other coins because at that point the lightning network will have been working for some years already and people will begin to use bitcoin as a currency again.

Quite an interesting confrontation and it will be interesting to watch this, but I think the etherium will approach bitcoin in 5 years
Bitcoin is the first crypt o currency which has started in the year 2009 mean time Ethereum is an Alt coin started in the year 2015. Both have considerably good market capitals and the daily trading volume . The market experts are forecasting its growth very favorably even after five years.Though there are another alt coins are coming up still the bitcoin and Ethereum will be the leading. The only negative point of bitcoin is that it can mine up to 21 million mean time Ethereum can survive to any level. After five year its price can shoot up to any level.
Ethereum hands down.
Don't get me wrong. BTC is the most powerful cryptocurrency used for TRANSACTION purposes.
Bitcoin is like the USD of cryptocurrency, you can buy any alt coin using BTC.
But at the end, that is the only purpose of BTC, an electronic fiat.
Ethereum, on the other hand, can be used as a platform to construct entirely new applications.
Like the trunk of a tree, Ethereum is a platform capable of branching to endless possibilities.
Another huge issue with BTC, especially as transaction volume increases, scalability.
POW frame works well in the beginning, but as more transactions are jammed down the pipeline, infrastructure cost skyrockets.
Ethereum's imitative to switch from POW to POS is a huge leap forward in the context of scaling.

After 5 year etherium will become a much valuable token, becuase we know that etherium is the second valuable coin and bitcoin is the number one. But etherium is a high potential coin that can defeat bitcoin!
But i think bitcoin will more survive because it is the most popular currency in the world and everyone want to know about its benefits and that's why most of people invest their money for long time because they know it will very beneficial for them.

Both will have very high values in the future I believe although I don't think ethereum will catch up with bitcoin. Bitcoin will always be the number one coin as long as cryptocurrencies are involved and will always have the highest value and the highest price. But ethereum would do very well too in the coming years as it's also very popular and a lot of investors have decided to put their money into investing in ethereum.
If i saw last one year price chart we see that bitcoin give most profit. Bitcoin price highly increase then eth but ETH price is something low and today eth give good opportunity. I hope create better market place and ETH price can be high increase with btc. So i suggest buy eth for 5 year hold.
i think eth is better
Since bitcoin was more famous than ethereum, of course ethereum will never outprice bitcoin
even though eth prices will rise in the upcoming years, bitcoin will rise even more
even though eth prices will rise in the upcoming years, bitcoin will rise even more
Ethereum can't bet the price of bitcoin, one reason is that it is just new, while bitcoin started almost 9 years if i'm not mistaken. Just like bitcoin when it was introduced it will start lower price until when it will become popular, its price will goes high.
I love both but if I only have to pick only one then I will go with Ethereum. Ethereum network and its big companies inside is just to big to go down. Bitcoin devs remains small compared to Ethereum. But I can see both Bitcoin and Ethereum rises in the future though.
After five years I think bitcoin still in the top but etherium is not far behind because Ethereum infrastructure is now become bigger and even be recognized in some business establishment around the world like bitcoin does. And that's the time bitcoin can have stong competitors that would stand toe to toe. I love both but if I only have to pick only one then I will go with Ethereum. Ethereum network and its big companies inside is just to big to go down. Bitcoin devs remains small compared to Ethereum. But I can see both Bitcoin and Ethereum rises in the future though.
True, currently many ICO projects accept only ETH, I'm sure that the development of ETH will keep getting better than bitcoin, and if we look at the facts over the past year then the price hike and the ETH marketcap are more fantastic than bitcoin.

On the off chance that you discuss investation, there two answer really. Bitcoin will be extraordinary interest later on following five years. Be that as it may, in the event that you need to put into Bitcoin, you need to gather some immense capital so you can get the right benefit. Why ? That is on account of the expense of Bitcoin is getting higher as well if the cost get higher. So we have to get readied. Be that as it may, there is likewise a moment alternative for speculation. Truly that is correct, that is Ethereum. I trust Ethereum will take after the strides of Bitcoin and end up extraordinary speculation apparatus.
It's good question, but I think, that bitcoin, coz just we can look now on the value of both- btc cost much bigger and it will be higher, but etherum after 5years can too have much bigger value.
If you ask me, the price of a single Ethereum can go even up to $5,000 by the end of 2018. Ethereum was $10 in January 2017 and now is around $800, do you think thats far from $5,000?
Keep in mind, to reach $2,000 it should have a market cap of 200 billions. It can go even in a single day to $2,000. Thats my prediction.

The rivalry between Bitcoin and Ethereum will surely became bigger after 5 years but the thing is... Ethereum is objectively "superior". But at the end of the day, it seems there's just no beating Bitcoin. It's why I'm getting back into mining it now, after some serious and unwarranted hesitation. I've actually been extremely critical of BTC in the past, but if only for first-mover advantage, I think BTC is going to be king. At least for a long time to come. As an aside, I mean Ethereum isn't technically even meant to be a currency. It's really just supposed to serve as gas for smart contracts and the like. When smart contracts get "smarter", it may certainly be used that way. Although even as fuel, it is a better currency that BTC right now...When Bitcoin gets Lightning Network, it's going to be a seriously big deal... I did vote Ethereum, but come lightning network, we may see Bitcoin explode even further!
Both will do great. And with both, especially bitcoin, better scaling is a MUST. When the mass comes and buys bitcoin, it needs to be faster and fees be cheaper.
If you talk about investation, there two answer actually. Bitcoin will be great investment in the future after five years. But if you want to invest into Bitcoin, you have to collect some huge capital so you can get the correct profit. Why ? That is because the fee of Bitcoin is getting higher too if the price get higher. So we need to get prepared. But there is also a second option for investment. Yes that is right, that is Ethereum. I believe Ethereum will follow the footsteps of Bitcoin and become great investment tool. Jump to:
