Topic: Is it possible that ethereum will be in rank #1? - page 2. (Read 419 times)

This is difficult for Ethereum because there is a lot of negative information about it coming up, if the information is confirmed to be true then maybe Ethereum will end here. Many ICO projects are eliminating Ethereum and developing on other platforms such as ADA, NEO, and XLM and this has a great impact on Ethereum that has made it go down dramatically.

Everything is possible, only this requires a lot of time. Ether is a separate entity and has every chance to take its place under the sun.

Ethereum is indeed popular but its popularity has not made them a big threat to Bitcoin supremacy, even one-day Ethereum have not surpassed Bitcoin and I doubt in the next 2 years they are going to accomplish that while Bitcoin is getting a lot of attention worldwide.

It will, eth is compete with bitcoin in popularity and in demand so definitely eth will surpassed btc in near future but I think its difficult to surpassed bitcoin now because bitcoin gaining popular even the issues and all odds may come so it takes time and effort to surpassed bitcoin in near future or in ranking.

Its possible. Its just like USD that its always the counter currency like EUR/USD.  BTC is always the counter currency but if later in fact today we can see ETH being the counter currency of some pair.  If ETH will become popular than BTC it can be on top and if one day ETH will be valuable than BTC, it can happen but right not I don't think it can beat BTC price.

Ethereum really become popular and widely used by everyone in crypto world. But let’s don’t forget about BTC popularity. It cannot be explained by it’s high price and huge flow of new people in crypto world who knows info only about BTC and are confident only in it.

No it want, this will never happen, cause in cryptocurrency bitcoin is like gold, and ethereum is like money) they both are needed

impossible. popular for the use of ico platform is not an indicator to be the best.
now i want to ask you, is all the ico is running well?

Possible? Yes. This year? No. If we can notice with their value, etherium is proportional with Bitcoin's value. If Bitcoin rises, etherium does also. So, it would be difficult that etherium will exceed Bitcoin. But, with the capabilities of etherium, it wou not be impossible that it will take over.

The market position on the currency may change from time to time. If ETH is considered the highest ranking, then soon will be bitcoin. Bitcoin is growing and gradually confirms its position in the currency market.

I don't think so. In fact, I think it is overpriced now.

will base on the trend right now everything is possible but for now i dont think that ethereum will overtake bitcoin for now,

I think there's no way that Bitcoin will stay number one for all time. The tech is outdated. The only thing going for it is public awareness, many people don't know that there are other coins out there.
I don't think Ethereum will be #1 either though.

It can be happen in the next 10 years ahead, I am sure that bitcoin can't be replaceable at the moment, its very hard to overcome bitcoin domination, which many peoples tend to buy bitcoin than others.

It is not possible that etherium is going to be number 1. I always says Bitcoin is the mother of all cryptocurrency.So it will hold its position and it will be number one all time. Etherium one of the best cryptocurrency no doubt. But I think it will stay on number 2 position always.

I think this is impossible, because the success of the ETH because ICO market hot, but when the ICO market cooling, so every day there are a lot of teams to sell the ETH, and BTC is people's beliefs, so may not exceed the ETH.

everyone is dumping ethereum these days because they are scared of its future. as you said yourself the price of it has gone up only because of ICOs and now that ICOs are losing popularity and are getting banned everywhere there won't be much rise in ETH price either.

and the pump of it becomes harder and harder while bitcoin continues to rise. so unless ETH decides to release 100 million new coins out of thin air i don't see any way for them to go up in market capitalization.

I do not think that this is when something happens. All the same, bitcoin will not allow to shift itself from the first place, and big uncles will not allow it to fall

Maybe? in the next few years, because for now surpassing bitcoin is so difficult the average value of bitcoin now is so huge rather than eth but eth also are gaining popularity in markets so definitely eth will surpassed btc someday.

The latest dramatic rise in cryptocurrency prices has come to an abrupt halt. Many coins are down by double figure percentage points with only a handful of cryptocurrencies avoiding the impact of this current sell off. One cryptocurrency that is defying the downward trend is Ethereum. As the media switches their attention to productless tokens with Twitter-happy CEOs, Ether quietly breaks through numerous all time highs with transactions/day on the network exceeding 1,300,000. A first (by some distance) for any blockchain.

Ethereum’s relative lack of media attention should come as some welcome respite. Ethereum, like Bitcoin, is a victim of its own success. Both blockchains have become so popular that their networks are congested, dramatically increasing transaction times and the overall reliability of transfers; any further attention given to Ethereum will only go so far as to demonstrate that this technology is not quite ready. But despite its lack of readiness, Ethereum appears set to dominate headlines as it edges ever closer to supplanting Bitcoin as the top currency by market cap, something that may happen sooner than many had expected.

For all of Ethereum’s failings (and there are failings), its long-term potential to achieve dominance as a global store of value, payment network and smart contract protocol are second to none. Ethereum is on the cusp of another explosion in adoption and price.
