I heard that the ethereum is much better than the BTC that in fact is the same as BTC but improved and that is the reason why it is rising a lot of price.

Is the Ethereum really better than the BTC? Do you believe that the Ethereum will reach the prices of BTC and even more that will surpasses the price of BTC, or that even will replace BTC?

What are your thoughts and predictions for Ethereum ??

Regards

There's always a possibility that ETH can replaced or surpass BTC, but not for now, it would probably take a long long time. But there are good projects under ETH, and a lot of people are trusting it, making it grow fast. I believe that ETH has a long way to go, for now Bitcoin is the most accepted cryptocurrency to date.

I think it's not just ethereum being a bitcoin threat but all the coins, this is because all the coins would want to be the number 1 that is currently controlled by bitcoin.

While in theory you are correct that is not true, even Ethereum is going to have a really hard time to take bitcoin spot in the top, it is obvious that a coin with a million dollars in market cap is going to have even more problems to even reach a point in which it will become a threat to bitcoin.

As others mentioned, it is a platform. Not a currency.

So people are paying for ethreum corp's shares. Not coins.

it is a platform for other stuff, so people who pay money to get eth are actually paying so they can have a chance to operate on the eth platform.

I kid, That's not the truth. Nobody cares about eth's tech. Everybody buys eth for pump&dump purposes. That's more or less same with bitcoin either except people actually use bitcoin to purchase stuff.

Also take this into consideration: Govs or Companies don't have to use Ethereum's infrastructure. They can build their own platform/network. No need to pay ethereum corp. That means bad business for eth.

On the other hand, bitcoin is all about its network's size. It is widely accepted in many places. Any altcoin out there is trying to compete with this big network. Which is too much hard work. Another plus for bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a settlement layer above all countries and companies. Ethereum is about companies and govs. Make your pick.

BTC as a kind of early addopter of the blockchain technology and also managed properly by the community. That doesn´t mean that BTC will be the only one in the market neither that BTC is out of risk. But something is clear, it is not only about one startup, it is about the transformation of the financial industry as a whole.

I don't think it is a threat. BTC is like the gold and the king

I think ethereum will not go beyond BTC, because BTC is the master coin of all coins.
Every exchange and end of exchange always use Bitcoin.

Ethereum is a platform. I don't really think they're trying to compete with BTC.

Welcome to Crete

I in general see the future only behind ETH, simply I do not understand what for to me BTC except for as commerce at stock exchanges and purchases for it of all tokens. Now in a portfolio has left only ETH and NEM for participation in the future ICO, I think in a portfolio those coins which to you for something should lay are necessary, if they are useless that simply speculate on fast at a stock exchange in small percent.

No, i think they have different purpose, btc will carry value due to rarity and etherum will gain the value with ability, performance etc.

I think the main reason for ethereum surging is alot of people missed out on the bitcoin boat and see this as the next big coin to profit from. It's powered by greed and the fear of missing out however it has a long way to go before it can prove to overtake bitcoin.

Ethereum is very different from Bitcoin I would call it a threat because right now bitcoin is king of crypto and if that changes it will hurt bitcoin a lot.

It is, although they operate with different goals in mind, but it sure is a "threat" if that means it will grow to be bigger than bitcoin.

Ethereum has possibilities to grow dynamically focusing its new technology behind it which gives smart tokens allocation services as well as scaled transactions, but a threat? My desperate answer would be a No, because Ethereum or any other coin could not dominate Bitcoins because bitcoin has already set up its base before all of them even came into existence, so I don't think any could replace Bitcoins or possess a threat to Bitcoins in any way.

Agree. Even some speculated on btc split that will worsen btc after it just made btc pump same with ETH , eth may get popularity in many ICO yet it can't still replace btc in terms of value and uses.

Ethereum the end of this development is very good, I think opportunities in the future will continue to grow, but I think it will not have a big effect on btc, we all know that btc is the most popular in the world of crypto

No i don't think that ethereum is a threat to Bitcoin as Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency in the world and it certainly has a very high acceptance than ethereum. Ethereum is a very good project but it will take it more than 10 years to replace Bitcoin.

We can't compare ethereum and btc . Ethereum is exist and used widely because of its ability to create smart contracts each transaction requires some gas that is ether so every token transaction from platform gaining fees so ethereum getting bigger.

So, why we can't compare Ethereum with Bitcoin, I think this is the factors make Ethereum can pass Bitcoin in future because the demand on cryptocurrency world will need the platform can helps user have safe marketplace for exchange, shopping ...

No Ethereum is not a threat to Bitcoin. Ethereum was never meant to compete with Bitcoin, even more replacing it. It was just meant to be a wormd-computer, what Bitcoin is not.
