Topic: Stop comparing ETH with BTC!!!!!!!! - page 13. (Read 24187 times)

Experts are not really comparing bitcoin to ETH because they knew bitcoin is more powerful and has a lot of supporters.
Bitcoin in reality can bring the entire altcoins down but altcoins cannot make that easily to bitcoin.
Why I say that? Because in the past, when bitcoin moves up, it could affect altcoins going down, that's why bitcoin has gain some dominance.

I think this is a very good debate because it can affect people who hear or read. What I mean is as a listener or their readers know that Ethereum is compared to Bitcoin. So that people who receive this news will be interested in investing in Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Bitcoin and Ethereum is having too much difference. They cannot be compared as the bitcoin is the worlds most popular cryptocurrency, and Ethereum is an altcoin to bitcoin, just through that you can figure out what is better.

Yes, ETH and BTC are the most frequently comparison coin but I dont see any reason why the two coins have to show there strengths or sophistication because they are both used for different purpose and until now I dont see any reason why bitcoin will loose it position as crypto currencies king not even when the government tried to stop it.

Not only on cryptocurrency but even if on other things like for example in gadgets . people always love to make a comparison review over the other brand but that does not mean that their opinion is right and we should easily believe on them .

in the case of cryptos ,  no . cryptos are not different to each other imo because all cryptos were built to have a same advocacy and that it to serve the nation with one of a kind service specifically in payment method/currency .

as long as in the scope of cryptocurrency. there are many things that can be compared dude. so don't be too offended about this. Yeah. although both have different goals. some things can be compared. and of course the answer will be different because both have advantages over each other

I need to be concise, even looking like a Ethereum fan by saying that.
The cryptocurrencies universe, on the look of newcomers, needs a front coin to represent and present it; thats Bitcoin, that is synonymous of cryptocurrencies (like newbies calls mobile OSes as Android instead of OS - like "their Android is different", Ethereum and other alts are called "this is a different Bitcoin"), and Bitcoin is the very first cryptocurrency, that began this concept and also blockchain.
But the problem is: Bitcoin is not updated like Ethereum is. Scalability is the biggest problem of cryptocurrencies, and even Ethereum is suffering from this.
Lots of newbie users joined the crypto universe in 2017, and were feared with the low speed and high fees for simple transactions: showing Bitcoin as not usable. The probability of return of those users is very, very low. When invited again, they will say: "Bitcoin? That slow and expensive thing, no, thanks, my credit card is also virtual and fast, I can do Internet banking, so why use Bitcoin?". You reply: "But it is not Bitcoin, it is another coin". Then, the newbie replies: "I don't want to hear about those bitcoins".
Like Internet Explorer couldn't anymore say "I'm now different, switch from Chrome", Microsoft needed to re-create Internet Explorer with a new brand: Microsoft Edge. But Edge, like Bitcoin, has been disclosed so early, then users thought: "lots of abusive advertisements for that bad product? I'll never use it again". Then, Microsoft needed to get rid of Edge, also.
Thats the thing about Bitcoin and Ethereum: when they had their "BOOM", they weren't ready, which generated a bad image about it.
But there's a difference between BTC and ETH: Bitcoin is practically the same, while Ethereum is receiving updates.
If the majority of Bitcoin nodes could accept scalability updates (segwit, lightening network, smart contracts), it could be the front of cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum haves strong competitors: Cardano, EOS, etc.
Bitcoin is not a coin to have competitors, its old, and just the icon of cryptocurrencies; that doesn't mean, like Twitter's CEO wrongly said that Bitcoin should be the universal digital currency. Like Netscape is not the universal web browser, and not even its fork Firefox.
Bitcoin received lots of good proposals, but they were rejected, and majority of nodes didn't updated the client with those updates. But Ethereum is being updated and reacting to the scalability issues. If no other competitor reaches the power that Ethereum 2.0 can have, as the synonymous of smart contract platform, Ethereum alongside with privacy coins will be the face of cryptocurrencies, while Bitcoin will be just a old "Netscape" of the cryptocurrencies.
Currently, Bitcoin is the base price of all other coins: when Bitcoin is low or high value, the other coins follows it. Thats why I hold it yet, so currently its worth to have Bitcoin.
If you want to buy Bitcoin, Ethereum and other smart-contract platform coins, they can be aquired as bundles on CoinBundle platform. I think that most of coins haves their own value, as Bitcoin couldn't be the only scalable smart-contract platform, and Ethereum is not a privacy coin like ZCash, Bitcoin haves the value of being the first coin and of be the base price of other coins. But if cryptocurrency universe wants to look good for newbies, Bitcoin can't be its face, but a nostalgic piece of it. About CoinBundle, they haves the top 20 coins to be invested in a bundle (instead of choosing coins, you choose a done portfolio to buy), but if you want less, there are also other bundles: conservative (bitcoin, ethereum..), emerging (for the techies and investors that did good research about the coins it includes), aggressive (risky, for experienced traders), halal (the world's first to comply with Islamic Finance), Coinbasic (inspired from Coinbase Bundle, that has been inspired on CoinBundle) and top 20, containing the 20 leading coins with highest market cap. Test the platform, and tell what do you think. If you liked my post, please reply with your thoughts about Bitcoin vs. Ethereum

People always need to compare something with something, and it doesn’t matter that they are completely different platforms with completely different complexes of functions and capabilities, just as people compare people of different professions or different food products, they will always do it because they always want to discuss about something.

Indeed ethereum is always compared to bitcoin. But the purpose behind the comparison is actually more to predict the future between ethereum and bitcoin. I always see from the positive side of the comparison that the comparison reveals the facts between the two coins, which increasingly shows the difference in technology. From this comparison, it should make each coin more motivated to create innovation. By looking at the advantages of other coins, making these coins increasingly want to show their strengths and sophistication. This of course also became a lighter so that the trust and popularity of the community towards the coin is getting higher. Ethereum and bitcoin are the most frequently compared because indeed these two have the potential to become kings of crypto currencies. This comparison in particular makes a warning for bitcoin to be more vigilant in maintaining its position as king of crypto currencies. That is a bit of my idea.

No point comparing . The price fluctuate too much in the market on daily basis

It's normal but sometimes these comparisons are too much.

To the point that they think that ETH is likely to replace bitcoin and this argument is always included. You're correct that each holder does have its own 'best' coin so sometimes we are exaggerating our beliefs with these coins.

This comparison between Ethereum and Bitcoin is because so far Ethereum's growth follows the growth of the Bitcoin movement. So this is a natural thing if comparisons emerge, even many people expect Ethereum to get past Bitcoin.

There is nothing wrong with comparing cryptocurrencies, their advantages and benefits vs. each other. Holders have different coins and it is normal that their are favoring their
preferred ones.

I agree with the Op,  there is no need comparing bitcoin with ethereum as both cryptocurrency have distinct use and cases.  They also have different protocol and different catchment area!

To argue which of these coins is better is pointless. Each has its own functions and each of them is worthy of attention. Bitcoin is more popular than ether, but Ethereum is also a very promising coin in my opinion.

they are not comparable  in the sense that they cater different purposes. the reason why they have both niche in the crypto market. but eth platform has more visible developers and you can always know what's going on.

Isn't Dev Eth developing on their platform and now is not the time to be able to launch a platform, but next year there might be good news happening to Ethereum so that it can make prices better than now, for now the popularity of the Ethreum level is lower than the XRP at the time price spikes occur on coins so that many investors enter the XRP and shift the ETH rating but believe that Ethereum will always be strong.

Yes bitcoin USED to be an option for wealth saving or storing but nowadays people are using something called stablecoin that is a lot less volatile than bitcoin therefore eliminating the risks of reduction in wealth overall value

Soon ethereum will not even be comparable to bitcoin, it has fallen from the number 2 spot and it might even be overtaken by other coins like Stellar or EOS. It should focus on doing more than just hosting ICOs

I agree these coins have different purposes , and of course at the price of Ethereum will never kill the price of bitcoin, bitcoin has fewer coins in comparison with Ethereum.
