You're missing an important point: Chinese! It is the keyword for all cryptocurrencies especially ETH. Guess what? Dev2 will be held in China (early Autumn this year).

The Chinese will only invest in Ethereum if it is profitable for them. But it is not profitable right now because there is a hacker who can steal from the smart contracts because there is a flaw in Solidity. Maybe China will pump ETH but not stay long term.

Monero - secure, private and untraceable currency.

That is very likely IMO if Bitcoin society doesn't ditch Core crew which is killing it.

So, what are your opinions... if Bitcoin gets trouble, could Ethereum become the crypto-leader?

As it was shown to all of us, bitcoin is still king. Nothing will surpass it in the near future I think. All the venture capitalist money will still be invested in bitcoin and they will not touch Ethereum because of the hacking.

Ethereum is most likely dead. Bitcoin has never returned to MtGox $1250. I doubt we'll see Ethereum return to $19+. Nobody can trust the Ethereum platform anymore and big business / big capital is not going to touch something which saw $150+ million put at risk.

GATCOIN : The New Currency Of Digital Marketing

I doubt it. Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency and that makes it better than Ethereum in my opinion. All of the altcoins are based off bitcoin, whether it is a little or a blantant copy of BTC.

People also suggest that Ethereum is a pump and dump scheme, which i believe to some degree.

Ethereum is dying. It will never be a real alternative to bitcoin. There are a lot of crypto projects that have a lot more potential than Ethereum and that could prove to be an actual competitor to bitcoin. DASH is far sup+erior and already offers the same features that Etheruem was supposed to offer.

No Way.
although you have to first define "trouble" many think confirmation time or block size is trouble or many other things that are really not an issue at all.

but eve if something happened, the next thing to come up would be Litecoin. and ethereum has been having a lot of troubles from the start that will never let it get even close to bitcoin no matter how big they make its marketcap. besides a large percentage of available ETH is in the hands of a few.

But at end of day ETH was something new to crypto while LTC is just BTC clone with better distribution but no matter what always you will find people who will complain at it.
In REAL economy something valuable is handed by few sir. Today 1% have 99% of all good on the world. So situation with BTC like in ETH is similar to that point where rich have more than poor. Yeach that difference is stunning but real this is real world in people were trying to be equal and have equal how it ends we see in North Korea where everybody have equal that mean NOTHING no goods no any freedom. People should not be mad that some whales are hoarding a lot founds if we had real life in utopia then distribution in BTC, ETH would be more fair but real life is not utopia.

Nah, there's still a chance eth might turn scam. Bitcoin has been here for years, eth has been here for about 10 months(correct me if I'm wrong.)

You are wrong in term of the Etheruem history. The ICO of the Etheruem happened in 2014, it is under development since then.

Ow i thought that ethereum is held on 2015 honestly im shock about ethereum is increasing fast when the price is below 1mbtc the movement price of ethereum from 2015 is very fast and many people are not believing because ethereum is over valued..

LTC is most likely to trend if BTC stalls. ETH has testing times ahead...

I think the Ethereum and bitcoin are for different purposes. They will have their own application for different usage.

Short answer no! Ethereum is perhaps best viewed as an attempt to apply learnings from bitcoin’s decentralized, global cryptographic network to challenges beyond value exchange. Rather than disintermediate third parties in e-commerce, it envisioned how removing other traditional arbitrators of trust could enable a new wave of application development.

Ethereum will never replace Bitcoin. Let's see if it survives the summer.

I am very interested to see that as well. The price is around $14 now. If the price drops to $2, which is below the mining cost of most people, it does not survive.

Certainly not because it's a centralized ipo-scam-shitcoin. When btc gets in trouble LTC will take over that spot in a heartbeat. That's what LTC is there for.
ETH can't compete even with LTC longterm.

12 months from now ETH will have a much lower marketcap than LTC. Quote me on that.

That is possible if the Etheruem is changed to PoS. If it keeps the PoW mining, its price will be much higher.

I hope that they will keep the PoW for much longer, especially when the miners supports the fork to recover the stolen funds.
