I do not have technical knowledge to say what is better, what I think is that
both are good and both will be used in future. That is why it is the best for us
to have both. I still do not have whole Bitcoin, but I have whole Ethereum. I am
working to have more.
Buy both and have more secured future. Why to risk just with one, there is no
need for that, when Ethereum is cheaper so who ever have money for Bitcoins
can spare something on Ethereum .
Topic: Eherium better than Bitcoin? Why or Why not??? - page 4. (Read 420 times)
ETHEREUM is better at all: transaction speed, low fee, popular platform for ICO, clearly founder and team behind. BUT i think Bitcoin still is King, because of the famous, ownerless, limited, widely accepted by the community, and the most important is it'll be a reserve asset in the future.
ETHEREUM has emerged as the main competitor to bitcoin’s crypto market dominance and analysts at Weiss Ratings have given ETH a more favourable score for potential profit than bitcoin and looking at the way etherium blockchain is been built where it gives room for many other coin to be built on its blockchain did you think, it can emerge as the most accepted coin later in the future than bitcoin and thereby overtaken bitcoin in price and value. 
I do agree into those points. Just only on smart contract feature which do really give an innovation which is really usable in real world industries which I can see this is the edge of ETH compared to BTC together with having a fast and less fees on each transfer been made but actually no one really knows on what path it would takes.If it can able to defeat the king which is BTC in overall rankings. No one knows on what would be the future but the possibilities would really be always there. 
Ethereum is very promising and huge coin which has potential to growth very high. Nevertheless bitcoin always will be more expensive coin so any success ethereum do not change this
You probably want to know which one to buy in order to make more money. Just hold 50:50 and you should be fine.
It depends on the point of view. From a technical perspective ETH seems to be favorite but I just Think they are different. BTC was created to have a value to make exchanges in this new world while ETH has been created to give mainly services. But this is my opinion ...
ask a grandma whats ethereum, she will be 
ask whats bitcoin, chances are she has heard of it
thats what makes bitcoin better https://www.coingecko.com/en/price_charts/bitcoin/usd

In terms of what?, if you buy it to make profit, then both of them are good and not comparable much. I think bitcoin is more decentralized and more solid coin compared to ethereum.
for me both are good...but because bitcoin was the first to introduce so it has more demands but i think in the long run ethereum will also gain popularity and more demands just like bitcoin
Technology wise, and case use-wise, it's better.
I still think we're a long ways away from seeing another coin knock bitcoin off the #1 ranking though, due the big head start that bitcoin got in terms of use and popularity.
For example, if u see a random person, there's a much better chance they'll know about bitcoin, rather than ethereum.

Bitcoin is better than eth we all know that.But the improvement of eth is now increasing but as far as I know it cannot beat bitcoin because it was the original crypto that first made.Both of them are decentralized and its always next to btc for the standard in the market in gettin a lot of profit.
Ethereum, seems to be the "bitcoin plus" that we have all been waiting for. Ethereum was meant to be a reward for smart contracts. This function has been fulfilled through the frequent holding of ICOs. Subsequently, it's market cap has appreciated from the increasing demand for these smart contracts. Additionally, it has been receiving financial backing from institutional investors, generating confidence in the virtual currency. Due to the already established position it holds in the cryptocurrency industry, it makes Ethereum a safe bet for investors, perhaps even much more than bitcoin.
I agree. I think Ethereum is a nice platform for other altcoins to emerge. There's room for improvement in cryptocurrencies and I don't see a good reason to reject new projects and ideas.
both of them has different usage, bitcoin is a storage of value while ethereum is featuring smart contracts that helps developers to deply decentralized application, for me both of them are better in their own way.
That is the most accurate short answer. Bitcoin is a currency, Ethereum is some funky coding wonder that makes fully autonomous softwares (and devices, hardware in the near future) possible. To compare the two is like comparing a fruit with a vegetable. Both have their own uses and both are good in their own way...
Yeah, ok ETH is much faster when it comes to transaction time, its blocks are much more neat; it has an infinite potential, BUT i-on the other hand, Bitcoin is Bitcoin. It is the most recognizable crypto in the world, its market cap is almost doubled compared to Ethereum.
Like most said, both are good in their own way...
The biggest difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum lies in the use and purpose of the technology.
Bitcoin is a virtual currency that only has the purpose of sending and receiving digital currency, that is Bitcoin. Ethereum is another thing that provides the ability to receive and send payments, but also allows all decentralized applications handled through the Ethereum network.
It is the advantages that make ethereum more potentially for the long term, because ethereum has a great community and ethereum is still a favorite platform for ico, it means the demand for ethereum is always high.

Ethereum was developed to improve and improve Bitcoin, extending its capabilities. The main thing is the development in showing a clear "smart contract". Decentralized deals and self-executions are encoded into the blockchain itself.what Bitcoin has done for payment and money by utilizing blockchain technology, Ethereum can work on applications of all shapes and sizes.
And I predict the ethereum will have the best long-term potential compared to other digital currencies, because of its versatility and smart contracts, "

I think ethereum has more potential. At present, ethereum can not be equal to bitcoin, but I think in the future it will grow fast and will compete with bitcoin because ethereum is the basis of new ICOs. I think so .

The point of Ethereum was basically only to create more tokens and coins through ICOs and you can see where that has gotten us. Not too much innovation but a lot of promises and I think the market needs to take a step back from trying to attempt too many projects, a lot of them are too ambitious to succeed. Since I see ICOs failing in general, I won't see Ethereum will fail, but it certainly won't overtake Bitcoin. If DAPPS are actually big and usable (and don't clog up the network) then Ethereum has a proper use case, beyond that it really does not.
First of all: why do so many people call etherEum etherIum? It's a really often made mistake and I wonder where it comes from.
Then on topic: IF Vitalik doesn't leave the ethereum project (he seems to be not amused by all the ICO crazy hype-lambo talk) AND the whole ICO scene doesn't collapse but actually gets adoption THEN I see a bright future for eth. If not... well then not. All these ICO's on ERC-20 really need to come to the point that they're actually used and not turn out to be some money making investment schemes. Almost any part of economic life has its own ICO's with blockchain promises but I don't see much adoption yet. That really needs to happen or else eth will go down too.
