Topic: Can ethereum be beat Bitcoin - page 10. (Read 2056 times)

Ethereum is a coin factory which lets you to produce altcoins (tokens) easily unlike bitcoin where you have to run nodes, servers, make code modifications and stuff like that if you want to start a project. There are countless of projects which are running promotion campaigns of every kind there is. (forum sig camps, twitter, reddit, facebook, youtube...) This created a massive^massive amounts of eth shills.

Since ETH don't have any claims to be a "coin" but a platform for other projects and as for now there isn't a big competition in that space yet (Big projects like Cardano, NEO, EOS aren't developed fully), ETH is growing faster than the others simply because there is no competition. (this might change soon)

If we look at the other side where coins like bitcoin, bcash, monero, ltc, dash stand; there isn't much competition neither to be honest. Only bcash is trying to compete against Bitcoin but we all know bitmain don't have the juice to stand against btc forever. Once other companies start to come up with better miners (halong/samsung already lit the fire) bcash will be irrelevant. Bitcoin is the ultimate winner in that space. (as a payment processor, digital currency, store of wealth.) Bitcoin has (and should have) a bigger user base because it is sole purpose to be used as a currency and store of wealth at the same time.

As a result It all comes to this: Platform for Projects Vs. Digital Currency Markets

If ETH keeps dominating its space and somehow projects like EOS, NEO and ADA disappear  tomorrow, maybe ETH can surpass BTC in the future. All this depends on 2 things.

1- ETH shouldn't lose its market share to other projects like EOS, ADA and NEO
2- ICO market should keep growing.

Ethereum is a very valuable crypto paradise with a bit more support and confidence to beat Bitcoin. But Bitcoin has become a brand in the crypto money market, and the trust in it is not heard at any other crypto money. When this changes, the position of the market will change.

The point is that the goal is not to preserve these coins. The main thing is that the team had a fairly transparent plan of action and real prospects for the project.

I think competition for both coins are healthy, having smart contract and store of value seems pretty good points of each coins. nevertheless, if one can pull each other in coinmarketcap, so it will be a win win situation for crypto investors.

I don't that this is correct question in general. Why ETH shoudl beat Bitcoin? They both have their strong communities. ETH community believe to this platform and believe Vitalik. Also a lot of ICO used ETH as a platform for ICO, so all coins based on ETH and used ERC-20 token also support Ethereum. Huge coproration joined Ethreum Alliance and all this legal. BTC have largest and "oldest' community on market. This is the first and the biggest coin on  market and a lot of people believe to them cause they now that general ideas and general principles that platform based on still working without changing. Bitcoin still alive and Lightening network good example that BTC can have progress too.

There is always competition between Ethereal and Bitcoin to form ETFs. We are now at the end of this race. If you are convinced that EtherIndex Ether Trust (ETHX) Ether Exchange (ETHX) operator Etherx operators (ETHX), an Ethereal based exchange traded fund (ETF), Etereum are more likely to cross the winning line first. They believe their ETF will be approved by the US Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) before approving the ETF based on Bitcoin.

Too many people and also companies are there and because of that it is taking more strength, surely it will grow by the
correct path and being more stable. In my point of view, it may be that in some future it may even equal the
Bitcoin, but it will be very difficult to overcome it.

Bitcoin is the king of the cryptocurrency market. At present it is very strong, it is difficult to get a strong enough altcoin to beat Bitcoin at this time. However, it is difficult to predict exactly what will happen in the future. Bitcoin is strong now, but in the future it may weaken, and EThereum will grow stronger and beat Bitcoin. Ethereum is the best altcoin, it has many advantages over Bitcocin like faster transaction processing times in 1 second, cheaper transaction costs, and better scalability of EThereum. Many projects are built on the foundation of Ethereum, each day it has a huge trading volume, indicating that it has great potential.

But Ethereum is far away from BTC. So we can not say that ethereum will beat BTC. It may take a few decades, because the BTC value is too large for Ethereum now.

I do not think any coin can beat easily  bitcoin  but if it does it will probably be Ethereum. Ethereum is very strong project with a bright future. I believe in it. And I am also hol Ethereum for long term. I don’t think that I would sell them in near future.

Ethereum as the biggest rival of bitcoin. The difference in market growth is what drives some people to suggest that Ethereum quickly become Bitcoin's biggest rival for the top spot in the crypto world in Crete. Ethereum is only available for two years, while Bitcoin has been in the market for over a decade. Actually, Bitcoin's age may be a barrier and even sparked a debate about how to measure Bitcoin's network in order to accommodate the rapidly growing pool of Bitcoin users and transactions get very hot.

although ethereum can beat bitcoin in the future, right now, it still difficult since bitcoin still in the first position in the coinmarketcap and still lead the cryptocurrency. besides that, I am not sure that ethereum can compete with bitcoin because bitcoin has a big fan right now and people still searching a profit from bitcoin and if they get a profit with ethereum, they convert it into bitcoin so they can have much choice to buy another coin.

No I don't think so that etherium have so much power that it can beat btcoin. Although ETH is doing very well if we look from ICO to till today. It started from less than a dollar and now it's around 1K dollar. May be after 5 or 10 year it may become so strong that it can beat BTC. I cannot see in near future

I'd love to see that. I believe in ETH 

At present, the high price of ETH is not based on its application, but more is the popularity of private projects. When will there be a correction? When private equity falls or breaks, ETH falls. So I said ETH had a hard time beating bitcoin.

Bitcoins are the king of the Crypto market, but they are not one of the hottest coin present. BTCs are only for a long time, so they are still the leading coin. ETH is a popular coin with many more features than the BTC. So they can compete with BTC in the near future.

People seriously need to stop creating this kind of threads, we all know that ethereum is never going to be the same as bitcoin, and this is because they both have different purposes.

Also, bitcoin has x3 of the ethereum marketcap

Even if ETH is the digital currency next to bitcoin, but still, bitcoin will always be the leader of the pack. It's market cap is almost thrice the amount of ETH and of course, you can not dictate the people to demand on ETH than BITCOIN.

i personally think ETH can never have a chance to defeat bitcoin even in far future, most of altcoin have been born after bitcoin can not have the chance to defeat bitcoin no matter how good they are, while investors all around the world are still  using bitcoin as their main income, and bitcoin dominance is still above 40% of all coins for many years, meanwhile, ETH dominance is always below 20%, can not have the chance to be compared with btc rightnow, but we will never know exactly what will happen in the future, ETH is still very powerful, so lets just wait and see.

it's still a speculation if ethereum can beat bitcoin because now this bitcoin is still the best. bitcoin will continue to run and continue to be high but ethereum will also continue to be one of the coins that have high potential.
