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

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.

It's possible the way ethereum is performing but not at this point of time,it is Bitcoin year everybody are exciting about what's happening on Bitcoin right now,but if you ask this question next year ethereum could be on a good standing to take over Bitcoin..

It's a token issued by a central authority. It's certainly not a 'cryptocurrency' like Bitcoin or Litecoin.
It's just riding the coattail of these, that's also why it doesn't stand a chance.

Also: maybe they can sucker in some stupid money but i honestly can't see me or anyone i know recommending that to people. So their network effect is close to zero.


Do you think the bitcoin is a token issued by a central authority. I thought bitcoin is decentralised, so is the Ethereum.

OP, no way that'll happen simply because it's already admitted that ETH is a coin that makes its rules as it goes along. That means: zero transparency and a lot of room for insider trading.

It's also not decentral.

And the supply is with the pumpers now who bought a lot way too high and will have to unload at some point. I wouldn't buy in as long as the pumpgroup is active.

So it's a shitcoin at best and a scam at worst.
Don't think btc has anything top fear from it.


When you guys say, "Ethereum will take over Bitcoin as the next viable cryptocurrency" you are hugely mistaken.  It's not even a currency to say the least, it just acts like a currency because you can trade it in for bitcoins and also be able to send them, which makes it an asset at the least... An asset that allows you to access the services that Ethereum has the potential to provide.

Ethereum isn't a currency.


What a load of claptrap.  ETH works fine as a currency

It's a token issued by a central authority. It's certainly not a 'cryptocurrency' like Bitcoin or Litecoin.

I think the pumpers will dump on each other in the next run up to not produce fatal losses for themselves. They do need another pump and suckers to buy to get out in good profit. If they see they can't find the suckers they just dump on each other.
Nothing for the little man to take part in.

Both appreciate in value. One vs the other in the wrong way to look at it. Both should have higher prices in the future.

like comparing apples and oranges. Ether is gas, where bitcoin is more of a currency.

Each has its own applications and will continue to be of use.

Bitcoin is the base currency of the digital world or the reserve currency in a few years. Etheruem is just a fuel.

It needs some time but is going to be the most widely used cryptocurrency.

The Etheruem is still too young. It is not widely used. So it might take long time for it to catch up with bitcoin.

We can answer the question in 5 to 10 years. At present, the Etheruem is just two years old and bitcoin is just 7 years old.

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.)

i dont see the point how a swiss non profit foundation can scam you Roll Eyes *just my opinion*

Yes, ofcourse eth could takeover bitcoin, anything is possible. But bitcoin has the biggest advantage, and that's first mover advantage. I dont see bitcoin being n1 for much longer and if it's losing that spot, i dont think we'll have a real number 1 crypto (ethereum might replace it but it wont become as valuable).

The market cap of the Etheruem can be much higher than now, but it will never be higher than the bitcoin.

Alright, thanks for the corrections. Bitcoin has still been here longer than eth though.
And?

Past performance is indicative to the future?

Except proof of stake has no value whatsoever.  You shills and scammers can go ahead and give up spamming all your Eth pump topics:

Why proof of stake has no value:

Since Satoshi did not solve the Byzantine generals problem, this means confirmations are completely arbitrary.  So why are two confirmations more useful in Bitcoin (PoW) than one?  Because it's an open entropy system where over a period of time, it's either unlikely or statistically impossible for someone to maintain a monopoly on block validation when there is no upper limit to confirmations.

Recursive systems like proof of stake tend to permanently monopolize block validation by design, with no real fault or state recovery to fix it once it goes off the rails.  This makes a proof of stake confirmation essentially worthless due to being a bounded entropy system.

On top of being worthless, proof of stake is also a permissioned ledger since the purpose of mining in Bitcoin is to create a permanent decentralized exchange peg, which thus results in a permissionless system.
