Bitcoin prices struggling with this currency’s different forks. Otherwise Ethereum is developing his infrastructure, payment and transaction ability. In my opinion ETH attract more and more users today. Because people want stability and find it in ETH.

Although ethereum is the most widely used crypto but its price cannot surpass the price of Bitcoin because Bitcoin is on a whole new level, Bitcoin is the first ever crypto out there so no other crypto can even compete with it.

ETHEREUM has a power to overtake bitcoin, especially right now that there are alot of tokens circulation that you can convert easily with ETH. Ethereum has faster transaction and of course low fee aswell called as "gas". Airdrops are being given away for free so that you can have a stepping stone to become a millionaire someday. Crypto Mark is one example of token that is circulation accross ETH, you can check their website crpto-mark.com or follow them on twitter @Cryto_Mark2017.

I doubt Ethereum will overtake Bitcoin since both have their purpose in a different way. Since Bitcoin mostly is meant as a payment mode it will have a greater value. But the technology of ethereal if building decentralised apps and tokens is already ahead of Bitcoin.

The way I see it, No coin will take over bitcoin. it will always be the number one.
I think people who are saying that Eth will take over, they need to wake up from their dream, because it's not gonna happen and maybe other altcoins will take over Ethereum like Lisk or IOTA.

Anything can happen so quick in crypto world but i don't expect that to happen anytime soon
There is zero chance of Ethereum overtaking Bitcoin because Bitcoin has the original code for Cryptocurrency.

Ethereum cannot surpass bitcoin in anyway. Bitcoin is the original and already have a lot of investors and followers. Ethereum is just starting but have forked so many times already and have bugs. Maybe in the long term it can go in par with bitcoin but it won't be able to overtake bitcoin whether in price or in investors.

Over the past few years, Bitcoin has become the hallmark of crypto currencies, being the first popular currency as well as the most popular, and has attracted many to invest. Bitcoin has made quite a few millionaires, and has attracted the watchful eye of governments and rich entrepreneurs alike.

As bitcoin rose in value, it spurred the creation of many other cryptocurrencies, including litecoin, Dash and ZCash. However, among the thousands of alternative coins, or altcoins, none have gained as much traction as a new competitor who entered the market early 2015: Ethereum. Similar to other currencies in the sense it was probably inspired by Bitcoin, Ethereum, provides a key additional function that many other currencies lack: uses outside of a peer to peer transaction base.

But does Ethereum really have the potential to overtake Bitcoin?

In my opinion bitcoin has more potential than ehterium have .
Here we can see directly that what the bitcoin is , it is the first coin that entered in the world of the online market of the cryptocurrency .
And also the limit of 21millions has to reached about 80% , and I don't think that next 4-5 years will be less for the complete mining , so here we can understand how the speed of the bitcoin buyers will increase day by day . And also in the present time we can see how much the speed of the bitcoin demand is going increasing .
So here the bitcoin made his market of the trading as a basic way of making money .
No doubt that people are making trading of the bitcoin is offline with cash fiat but also the people are making use of the Etherium Coin also for the trading in the cash.
But here the mining of the Etherium is more profitable than the bitcoin mining , so here we can say that supply of the Etherium is more than what the bitcoin have .
So currently conditions for the increase in the demand and price is for the bitcoin only .
But surely the speed acceptencs of Etherium as a priority coin like in the ICOs project is better thing for Etherium for future .
It is possible but only for the very long perspective, maybe in 5-8 years!
Ether price was just £7 ($9) on 1st January 2017, not even 12 months ago! Now the price has been fluctuating roughly between £200 and £250 ($260 and $330) for the past 2 months, which is actually very stable for the usually volatile cryptocurrency markets.
From January to November, Ethereum has gained a whopping 4,600%, while Bitcoin is up around 700%
So, in the matter of good growth price tendency, Ethereum is the winner.

It’s certainly possible that one day Ethereum could overtake Bitcoin. The fate of Bitcoin is being heavily debated at the moment prior to the B2X hard fork, all the issues and threats while Ethereum is quietly gaining more and more traction in the background. We cannot tell but the answer to this debate will float later these years.

 I do believe that ETH has potential, but it would probably take years and years for ETH to overcome BTC just because most of the people still trust BTC more than any coins out there. After all BTC is still the "king of all coins" if you will. But we can never predict the future maybe if ETH has the right tool and timing maybe it can overcome BTC.

Actually my answer is yes! Ethereum has a more united community, and it also can resolve more things beyond currency!

I think the price of ETH will not be higher than BTC, because BTC is the core of all crypto, without exception ETH compete with other Altcoin, maybe ETH price will be higher than other Altcoin price. So do not ever expect the ETH price to exceed the BTC price as it will not be possible.

Gotta agree with this. It is possible that ETH would always be the top altcoin, but the probability that it will exceed BTC is really quite low.

No.  

All ETH can do is habitually lose user funds because reasons.

.5 billion lost already but thats non of my concern, invest away retards.

One day bitcoin will either die a terrible death or become the new gold. I don't see any other in between for BTC, other cryptos do what BTC does so much better and without all the political infighting. Ethereum is crypto 2.0 in many ways and IOTA might be crypto 3.0, but time will tell on that one. My hope is that if BTC death spirals it happens after the market is mature enough not to go with it, otherwise we're looking at at least 2-3 years of complete despair in this space.

So in that sense, yes ETH might overtake it, then again there are other currencies vying for the number one spot too.

And if I may ask. What will cause that terrible death that won't affect other altcoins as well? I really do not see anything that would make bitcoin to experience a terrible death as long as it is not abandoned by the community and as long as things keep on going right.

I would even be scared for Ethereum as there are so many projects trying to take its place and if care is not taken, will push it away from that position. However, the trust is so huge that the attention on bitcoin right now would really not make it easy for any coin to overtake.

This is an interesting idea to be discussed. Etherium currently is paving its way to a more bigger success pathway and stability, but I think many will agree that it may took long for etherium to overtake bitcoin. It is not imposible to happen but it will take take time. Bitcoin is in the light line now and has the crown holding the top over other coins. Definitely etherium will do more later on on who knows, one day they will take each others places.
