somehow , i just think , its imposible.
okay , u can say ETH is the biggest candidate for beating btc, but according to the fact on coinmarketcap, ETH is soo far far away from BTC.
and i just speculate , even eth if 2.0 is succes , its still no make any change for it.

but if u asking what if ?
okay so that mean , people have lost a trust for btc, posibly it will be happen if satoshi sell the btc of him.

if ethereum can someday replace bitcoin then surely there will be many erc20 tokens that will experience price increases because ethereum demand will increase and many will use ethereum technology and platforms to make payments, I hope that dream can come true.

In the long-term, no cryptocurrency can replace Bitcoin. Because we haven't seen any "perfect" cryptocurrency so far. Ethereum has scalability and privacy issues, still. And they have no minimum supply quantity. Bitcoin dominance is still %60. And it seems unbreakable at this moment. I respect Ethereum and it features but I don't assume it can replace Bitcoin.
Bitcoin, in any case, remains a highly liquid cryptocurrency, which is valued primarily because of the ability to earn huge funds due to the volatility of Bitcoin.  In addition, Bitcoin is also a very popular asset for long-term storage today, especially considering the forecasts that its price will soar to several hundred thousand dollars.  But if we take into account the problems of scalability and security of Ethereum, then I think that Bitcoin has much more scalability problems.  Moreover, if you take into account that with the growth of prices for ethereum, new projects, such as ico companies 2016-2017, will take advantage of this situation, then I am sure that a mechanism will be created to monitor such projects so that there are no problems with fraud and junk coins.

There is some possibility before Ethereum hardford to two chains.,but now it's impossible for ETH to replace BTC.
What's the most important for crypto currency,it's decentralization and anti-roll back,even though eth team have legitimacy to suggest hardfork to some extent.

If Ethereum replaces bitcoin one day, there will definitely be a lot of shitcoin popping up under the auspices of the ethereum blockchain. No doubt, now there are so many shitcoins in circulation, what will happen if ETH is ranked 1, thousands of shitcoins will be created. That is the reason that crossed my mind that ETH will never be able to rival bitcoin because the network itself is full of scammers.

yes we all hope too, moreover ethereum has smart contracts with several ico projects at the moment, and if ethereum can replace bitcoin someday. this will win a new history that some tokens that have been generated from the erc20 platform, will increase significantly and have good selling points. and maybe nothing will ever be called a trash token again

I think this will never happen at all, although ETH is a good and promising coin, but still Bitcoin is much stronger and more promising
everything is very simple because bitcoin has those properties that ETH can never possess, but Ethereum does not have those properties that bitcoin cannot possess. that's why ETH can never be the first. Just a simple logic  Cool
bitcoin if we logic is the basis of the current cryptocurrency ecosystem. and if the existing system and ecosystem is already formed there will be a drastic change in cryptocurrency due to this. therefore not arbitrary in the election,and also nothing can replace. although no matter how good the project.ethereum is just a trendy thing and in fact it is currently down in price since it's no longer used as an ICO

Ethereum, being the world's second largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has all the potential of replacing Bitcoin in the future. It's more than just a cryptocurrency, being a platform for the development and execution of smart contracts (aka dApps). With ETH, it's possible to launch alternative cryptocurrencies without the need to start a Blockchain from scratch. It's also possible to use the ETH blockchain for other purposes such as voting, proof of identity, verification of documents, and more. In contrast, Bitcoin's only use is for finance where it cannot be implemented in other areas by its own.

Given all of the benefits Ethereum provides on top of Bitcoin, it makes me wonder whenever it'll be able to replace the pioneer cryptocurrency within the future? As long as, Ethereum keeps progressing in development and mainstream acceptance, it'll be much closer to Bitcoin every step of the way. What are your thoughts? Huh

It could happen but for the time being, we should concentrate on Bitcoin, Bitcoin first then others will follow, when majority of the people in the world are now using Bitcoin, we can think of a better alternative, it could not be Ethereum right away, there's a lot of new coin coming or coins now that are now improving.

The best store of value in my opinion is that of Bitcoin and not Ethereum as you have said, also, Bitcoin has been confirmed as a good store of value by professionals. Ethereum cannot replaces Bitcoin because they are not built on the same platform. Bitcoin being the "mainstream of the manifestation of the Blockchain" with this, Bitcoin will remain in the frontier world of cryptocurrency and no altcoins can displace it from the leading.

Maybe it will happen someday, I do not care if the Ethereum will replace bitcoin someday because there are some characteristics of ethereum that surpasse the characteristics of the bitcoin.

in the near future, it is very unlikely to happen but if one day bitcoin has reached max supply circulation, I am sure there will be a substitute for the existence of bitcoin whether it is ethereum or other coins, and i don't know when that will happen. personal opinion, I hope that bitcoin will still exists and is irreplaceable.
I am pretty sure that bitcoin still exists and remains popular if the number has reached a maximum, and I think the price will be more expensive. in the matter of ethereum going beyond bitcoin, I think it's quite difficult, even for now I still can't imagine it. ehtereum is indeed a very good coin, and is approaching bitcoin, but in fact bitcoin also greatly influences the current price of ehtereum.
but we don't know what will happen in the future, it could be that our hope can be wrong and ethereum will completely replace bitcoin. although the possibility is small but in the crypto world everything can happen.

That means the world are open for cryptocurrency and every country allowing stores and merchant to accept cryptocurrency which Ethereum is the basic currency to accept by all and bitcoin is banned all over the world.

Maybe it won't happen in the future also, because bitcoin itself already growed since 2009 and eth is just launched in 2014.
People will be more familiar with bitcoin and the demands will be not stop except the bitcoin system are stopping

There is probability for anything to happen in this world but the level of the probability tells how likely that even can happen. With the current market trend of Ethereum, it is apparent that Ethereum has low probability of surpassing Bitcoin on the market. Comparing just the market caps and dominance alone reveal that Ethereum has a long way to go to surpass Bitcoin.

Then i will support ETH.  Grin Maybe the answer is that simple. Because the question from title is "what if". Any coin that in top, or maybe can make cryptocurrency itself accepted by all people over the world must be supported. If Ethereum be number 1, then we try to make it down under bitcoin, it can make bad affect on crypto itself.
all possibilities can happen and no one can predict with certainty the development of any crypto currency if indeed ETH can replace bitcoin or other coins the investor's interest in investing with these currencies will develop and there will be many and it will make a positive development of coins and has become an investment law that does not develop will be eliminated

bitcoin will not be replaced by ethereum. if this happens you should understand that there will certainly be a big change of control in the crypto market which has been the main pillar of the establishment of the trade to date. and also for the position of ethereum it is possible to replace it. whether it's with new or old altcoin, but it has evolved
I know, maybe bitcoin existence can't be replaced although there are altcoins with higher price appear. And i just wonder about it because any crypto that will be top in future, maybe will be next central of cryptocurrency too.

Like they would say, never say never. This is typical of the crypto space. Everything is possible, even ethereum is possible to overtake Bitcoin but I doubt it will happen in the nearest future, it's features are capable of taking it over but the dominance of Bitcoin wouldn't allow for now.
