To compare Ethereum and Bitcoin is absolutely useless. Among them there is no better or worse, these two platforms are good in their own way. Understand first how they differ.

And I fully agree. In fact, many of us are into both Bitcoin and Ethereum so there is no point in comparing as we are not in a dilemma of choosing in between the two we can use both anytime anywhere. These two giants in the world of cryptocurrency are now symbols of the industry and they should be appreciated for the things they can offer to the market. We are not so sure if someday Ethereum will eventually overtake and replace Bitcoin because nobody can be sure...or maybe there can be a third force that can come along and take the crown...again nobody knows and for the moment let's just enjoy these two best coins so far.
Both have its own audience and supporters and well they also have their own offer services ,where  adoptions will be on the end users positions,
bitcoin was first in the mainstream giving him the main basis of crypto industry while ETH offers platform where new developers will enjoy the service
there's no need to compare both have its own future goals.

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. Wink Wink Wink

This is possible but for now the people are so much trusted the Bitcoin over Ethereum so maybe if the Bitcoin will gone then that will be the time that the people will shift to Ethereum as this is the second most trusted coin. For now Bitcoin already build a foundation of trust among the people as the most promising investment that it will not need a product just to be promote and advertise to attract more people to invest.

I do not find the difference between Ethereum or Bitcoin, I think both are popular digital currencies and have their own features,
Here's the differences
bitcoin is actually focussing to be the main stream payment system but it will not likely to be happened due to the scalability problem of bitcoin
ethereum is focusing to create such a manufacture to support the crypto adoption through the tokenization of asset into the digital form.

I see the development of Ethereum is very good, I see Ethereum has gained a lot of trust from many people and has been used by many companies for the success of their project so I believe the future of ETH is very bright but if to beat Bitcoin I think ETH still have to work hard and takes time which is very long because the price difference between these two coins is still very far away.

With Ethereum's current price yes you can earn more profit as you can buy more of it. But that is currently, What happens when if it reaches the current price of Bitcoin? You see it is very difficult to predict whether Ethereum can overcome Bitcoin, what we can do now is to speculate and make us of the pump and dumps. i am pretty sure most of investors keep both coins for future profits.

Bitcoin is the king of the market, it has great power. I believe that in the near future there will be no altcoin that can beat Bitcoin. However, in my opinion, Ethereum has many advantages over Bitcoin. Ethereum has faster transaction speeds, lower transaction costs and cheaper prices. Ethereum is also used by many ICO projects. I will invest in Ethereum. I believe in the future Ethereum will grow strongly and bring me profit.

Ethereum develops and moves to victory in the scalability race, Butorin will be able to realize his plans faster than jumping to solve the problem of network scalability. Everything is actually not as clear as it seems at first glance. And the solution to this problem may come from a young and inexperienced player but it will not give him the right to manipulate this technology. The cryptocurrency market is based on the principle of open when. And this is a key engine of popularity in this field. To summarize, I would say that for cryptography the future cryptoeconomy and technology is developing fastest in the competition which leads to super fast karastan development of science and technology

Well, I hate those types of question (Ethereum or Bitcoin, Gold or Bitcoin, Fiat or crypto), you must develop your question. Otherwise, it is certain that Bitcoin and Ethereum are the best profitable cryptocurrencies in the whole market in terms of every characteristic and advantage, Like, Volume, Price, Market Cap, and even their users, and everyone who want an ensured profit has to choose these two currencies their only way is to choose these two currencies for holding and investing especially in a long term (more than 5 months) because there is a big drop during this period.
In fact, I am pretty sure that those best crypto will have a brillant future especially when we will se the recognition of the governments, and this is expected to happen and maybe after a few years.

What eth should be better than btc? After all, these are two different currencies used for other purposes. Comparing both of these coins is completely pointless for me. For sure both are good investments.
Agree . People often compare Bitcoin and ETH without any specific information about these two coins. I think both of them have their own features and the most important thing is to bring profits to investors, that is why they will continue to see who is better. This is very stupid because Bitcoin will forever be king and no one can pass, ETH will always stand in second place because of the need to invest in high ICO projects and many people choose ETH to payment

I am sure that Ethereum may be more favored. Although Bitcoin is a market leader with tremendous market capitalization. However, Ethereum is equally well developed, with the implementation of fast and economical transactions. It is becoming more and more popular.

Well, Ethereum definitely has it's advantages. You can create tokens and host them on their blockchain. But at the same time, you can just clone the Bitcoin source and duplicate that and have your own blockchain. For me, the only real advantages Ethereum has over Bitcoin is the tokens that it hosts and transaction fees when Bitcoin is under a heavy network load. I know a couple weeks ago when I tried to send some Eth around, it cost me more than I could send Bitcoin for. That's not very good for ETH and it's not how it was meant to be.

I still think Bitcoin is comparable because it was in the first place, the first digital coin created. Ethereum can be a better version of Bitcoin because most likely it was created after Bitcoin was created so it’s more advanced compared to Bitcoin. But I think these two coins are great, nothing to compare IMO.

The Thread title I thought it was another altcoin or token Eherium that the OP advertise but oh well it is ETH if there's a chance that bitcoin might fail which is impossible these days but for instance that happened then ETH will be the one who overtakes the number one spot, ETH is better for smart contracts and ICO supports which is a great but the most important thing is the price, adoption and community support that's why btc is better.

Well, We all know that Bitcoin is the King of Cryptocurrency but Ethereum has a higher demand right now. Many investors are investing in Ethereum rather than bitcoin because of its possibility to increase its price. Plus, there are many projects coming up and one such project I got to know recently is this token AGRI by blockgrain.io and they are only 7.5 cents! I'm confident because that is backed by Grain…the only asset that has inherent value throughout history.
I’m pretty confident of picking up big bags in their ICO. You can check out AGRI here: blockgrain.io

I do not think anyone knows if the price of Ethereum will be higher than bitcoin.
All of the above statements are only forms of predictions.
Ethereum currently has a higher score because it is able to provide space for a number of altcoin with its technology.
But I'll bet that no one can ever beat the bitcoin position as a market leader.
So I can say that it is not easy for Ethereum to beat the bitcoin from the price side.

I think it would be more profitable to invest ETH,
Of course eth is better than BTC.  BTC is the most expensive price, but in certain periods BTC prices are difficult to rise, but in certain period the price will drop to $ 3000 / btc, this is very detrimental to investors, therefore better eth invest only, because the price is relatively stable, ranging from $ 700- $ 1000 + / ETH, so our investment when the price dropped did not lose too much, that's my opinion, thank you

First of all, Its 'Ethereum' not 'Etherium'  and secondly, Ethereum can never beat bitcoin in becoming the first cryptocurrency not now or anytime soon. Bitcoin will always remain the first cryptocurrency because it has got what it takes. Though, I am a fan of Ethereum also but it will always be the first altcoin. Without, Bitcoin Ethereum would not have emerged. Though most ICOs are evolving through Ethereum but the original concept of digital currency has always been bitcoin.

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...

I wrote a simple paper pointing out the differences between Ethereum and Bitcoin. In most aspects Ethereum is better, it's newer, faster and it's potential is infinite. Bitcoin on the other hand is only a currency; "transfer X amount from A to B" it's robust, slow and dull. Just by being the kickstarter of thi technology, BTC grew big, so big that no one expected this around 2010 and no matter the FUD created by some, they'll grow bigger and bigger.

As at the moment none is clearly better that the other, they both serve their purposes very well. Ethereum on the other hand would get better on the future  because it serves as the basis for most of the new tokens issued during ICOs.

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.

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.

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, "

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.

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 .

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.

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? Huh  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.

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.
