Topic: Is Bitcoin More Important Than Ethereum ? - page 24. (Read 3414 times)

Bitcoin and Ethereum both are important in their own ways. Bitcoin is gaining more support these days as the price is surging and has reached almost $10,000. Ethereum is gained momentum too and has reached its all time high . Both the coins are potential and has acquired its all time highs this month. They both are leading the technology into higher levels and hence both are important in their own ways.

Right now Bitcoin has more value so you can say it is more important. I see a lot of potential for Etherium as it has specialized in smart contracts, so it has differentiated itself in that way. However, Bitcoin was the first successful cryptocurrency and is the most recognized and popular worldwide which is a huge advantage. I think Bitcoin’s use as a store of value will keep it at the top for a while and possibly forever in terms of market cap.

In general, yes. That is why it is valued more. There is a concrete quantifiable metric available. No need for the two to be in competition tho. They are both great cryptocurrencies with bright futures.

Bitcoin is more important than any other digital currency and that is why it is called as the mother of crypto currencies.  it is better than all the alternative coins produced so far .The main reasons behind it's staying at the top are the way its value increases, scarce supply we are left with now  also  and the demand is also increasing day by day. About that, Bitcoin is the benchmark for altcoins.

This is affirmative, the currency is more important than the etheric fang is very much, the price of this from the currency can see out, you can watch past COINS fell, the etheric fang will follow down together, and then in the etheric fang fall COINS may not fall.

These are two absolutely different cryptocurrencies. In reality Ethereum cannot be even referred to altcoins — it gives the possibility to create various projects and also serves as money. However, I think that more people trust Bitcoin than ETH.

For me it is more important than ETH, why? Because most of my asset is with bitcoin and not with ETH. I have some ETH on held but I don't actually depending on it, I'm more with bitcoin. But when you are an investor and you want to be wise with your decisions and things through the entire cryptoworld. You'll consider these two as something valuable and will treat it not too different since they can generate you profit.

No doubt too. Considering how secure it is, how most everyone is using it (like how we still use BTC to buy ETH), and how much its value now in the market as compared to other altcoins. Yes, Bitcoin is more important than Ethereum.

of course that bitcoin is more important than ethereum because bitcoin is the parent of all altcoins, and bitcoin has a brilliant prospect in the future.

Yes, i believe that bitcoin is important the chart goes well for bitcoin but i guess the ethereum now is important too. It is highly needed to process some transactions.

It depends on how do you compare them and what do you want to use them for. Ethereum is better than Bitcoin and Bitcoin is better than Ethereum at the same time.They’ve made several completely different design choices and as with every choice it opens some oportunities and closes dosens of others.

I would highlight a couple of main differences:

--Purpose

   1- Bitcoin is a currency
   2-Ethereum is a platform for running decentralized apps (aka smart contracts)

--Supply

    1-Bitcoin is deflational
           -The overall amount of BTC ever produced is limited
    2-Ethereum is inflational
          - The ETH supply in unlimited
 
--Security

    1-Bitcoin is simple and limited
          -The built-in language is stask-based and stateless
          -That’s why you can not express a loop and it’s not Turing-complete (this means, that there are some programs, that are impossible to write)
    2-Ethereum has a rich programming language built-in
          -The built-in language is Turing-complete (this means that you can code anything you want)
          -More complexity implies more opportunities to make an error

--Adoption

    1-Bitcoin has a first move advantage
         -My mom knows what Bitcoin is
         -The community is a lot bigger
         -It’s easier to get started
         -There are already a lot of places where you can pay with BTC
    2-Ethereum is less known and younger
         -It uses “move fast and break things” motto
         -It learned from Bitcoin and fixed a couple of issues in it’s design
         -The community is smaller and therefore has more developers than speculators

To sum up:

    1-They’re not competitors
    2-They coexist and solve different types of problems

Still if I would have the chance to choose between them, I will choose bitcoin over eth, btc is my priority and eth would just be my 2nd option. I wanted to have both of them but the important digital currency for me is bitcoin since it has gone so far and I wanted to be part of its growing and to become successful because of it.

That's for sure, bitcoin is dragging all the coin coins like daddy, and when the dad slips down, it all goes down, which is what happened when the bitcoin plunged in the past.

I agree with you
I also believe that bitcoin is more important than Ethereum.  Bitcoin is too much trusted. The price of bitcoin is increasing day by day.Many people are engaged with bitcoin.

Absolutely. These two has their own role here and both are totally different so we can't really directly compare these two. Bitcoin is the apple of the eye of everyone for giving a decent profit and for changing the way we think the currency while eth is just starting to show off its potential.

The price does not justify its importance. There might be some other potential coins but with lower price/value, maybe because of it market cap.
Both currencies are equally important in my opinion. There are both different types of currency offering different features.

well, one can say it is since it has been the leading coin from the beginning but we cannot ignore the rate at which Ethereum is growing and more people are gaining interest and investing in it. Only time can tell because things might change in the future and we might get to hear more of eth than btc

yes bitcoin is more important than ethereum but they can help each other. bitcoin is for profit and ethereum is more on transaction.

I think they each have their place and serve different purposes. Like it or not Bitcoin is becoming a store of value like gold while other alts like Ethereum are being used for day to day transactions.

Yes Bitcoin is everything and Bitcoin is much better than all coins that exist today. I am very confident that Bitcoin can be the economic power of the world, but Etherum also has strength but not as much as Bitcoin. Bitcoin is now showing a lot of positive movements and this can we use to get a profit. Bitcoin is important because Bitcoin can change our lives for the better.
