Keep in mind that in one point in time ETH was VERY CLOSE to killing BTC at one point. People called it "The Flippening" and ETH was very very close to dethroning BTC.

Will it happen? I don't think so.

Ever? No.

Bitcoin is the number one undisputed champion GOD lord savior legendary eternal king master overlord of ALL COINS PERIOD.

I bet if you contact BTC and show them all the posts you make with pretend BTC balls in your mouth someone there might give you an internship to fan their balls from under their mining stations. Sometimes you gotta start at the ground level when working for the "champion God Lord Savior" heavenly crypto kingdom.

What do you mean? There is no possible way to contact BTC. The whole system is based on everybody holding the coin...unless you are trying to contact every user...

ETH would play a great role in the future in case the protocol would get more updates and would be more, let’s say more developer friendly. However, giving the amount of funds invested in BTC companies and especially in mining, I don't think that ETH would evenly matched or beat BTC.

I see ETH as the next internet platform.
You'll need ETH to join the inner workings if I'm getting this correct.
Bitcoin is a store of value only. Like money.
ETH you can use to trigger actions digitally.

In the summer I thought it would be 100% probable, but now I doubt it at all. Bitcoin stood very powerful

From a technical standpoint:

Can you use BTC for all stuff you can use ETH for? No.
Can you use ETH for all stuff you can use BTC for? Yes.

In the long run ETH is better. The quetion is how much time there is left before some new technology appears that makes them both obsolete.

I see only one reasonable reason: the supply of BTC is limited and the revenue declines over time. There are market whales invovled in BTC mining and I'm sure they have abilities to support BTC price.
So hardly ether can match bitcoin. I think potentially other coins can, say zec.

I agree, Ethereum would have to take out all the altcoins in order to become number one. All these coins that you see is using code from Bitcoin so they would have a hard time to say that they are the most successful coin.

IMO it can't because of unlimited ETH supply. Though it's a great coin with great features the total cap is major price mover for BTC.

Sorry, relatively new to this as well. Is Bitcoin the only one with a cap? Why wouldn't the others follow suit?

Well ethereum os a great crypto currency and has the some more potential to overcome bitcoins compared to other crypto currencies but actually overcoming bitcoins can be hard as bitcoins price is leagues ahead of ethereum.Bitcoins is mother of all crypto currencies and beating bitcoin's cap value, popularity and support from people would be just next to impossible for ethereum.Ethereum is falling for some time now which is most likely because of Segwit2x coming this November and this fall in market shows how bitcoins affects other coins.

It definitely can't match it in price, because of the difference in supply, but ETH is better than BTC.
Honestly, I don't know why Bitcoin is still the most popular cryptcurrency. It's a shitcoin that was outdated a few years after it launched.
It's only purpose is to decentralize, but now there are many more coins that do that and much better, faster and more secure.

yeah all stuff that have unlimited suppliers can not be ascertained its rise and could have happened inflation continuously which cause hampering price increase. bitcoin is not the same as ethereum.

What power of ETH are you talking about? ETH has been falling for a long time, it peaked @390$ back in September but just for a couple days, since then it hasn't recovered (around 298$ at the moment of this post). Also, if you've been in the crypto world for two months, you can't really say much about 'the power of ETH'. It has the second biggest market cap, but other than, ETH has been loosing power this last year.

And to answer your question: No, not in a million years.

Definitely, people and companies have already setup their ENS Domain names.
Ethereum is the next internet.
It will be the internet for rich people. Very exclusive.

What does unlimited supply mean? ETH is not unlimited in supply, just like bitcoin. They can be mined and that's the thing why their number doesn't go up synthetically. Market cap of eth can't surpass bitcoin's cap, never.

There is not given max. amount of existing coins.
As long as people will mine it (or turns into POS) there will always be new coins flowing in.

I think it can reach the market cap of Bitcoin but not the price. If Ethereum improves and it is usable for more than only ICOs it will rise. It has a strong community.

Unit price wise, BTC will be ahead. However, ETH price growth may be more for a few years until all BTC are mined, at which point it would be difficult for ETH to compete with BTC.

I share your opinion dude. Bitcoin has literally created the crypto world and has, is and always will stay the king of the crypto world no matter what. I strongly believe this, but I am definitely not saying ethereum is a bad investment or anything. Their blockchain feature and smart contracts feature are revolutionary and has paved the path for the introduction of many kinds of altcoins excluding scams with real life use cases. It will never catch up to bitcoin though since bitcoin's supply and demand logic works against it.
