There is nothing left to improve. The only thing that bitcoin has on ethereum right now is that bitcoin has been in the market for longer. This means that bitcoin has had a lot of time to grow more than ethereum. What ethereum needs is time. With how both of the projects are moving I would not be surprised if eth ends up overtaking bitcoin.

The value of bitcoin is much higher than ETH. At risk of hacker attacks, ETH had to split once before.Not yet put into official use in many countries so the ownership of this currency is still a risk for investors. If ETH overcome the above limitation will go to BTC.

We all know that Ethereum is the closest Altcoin that can be considered and compared to Bitcoin but it still has a lot of issues and concerns about their Blockchain. What should they improve?

The main barriers facing the airway are not in the platform itself, but are external factors. To date, there are quite a few alternative projects that provide users with similar opportunities, but at a lower cost. Developers start to look aside NEO, Cardano, Qtum and other competitors.

Ethereum is next to bitcoin on the market cap table but it cannot be compare to bitcoin because every coin have it own unique potential. However,  Ethereum ought to change their gas and improve their security/concensus cause NEO and EOS are cooking something which may later make them win over Ethereum.
I agree with you, EOS and NEO have already solved the problems that the Ethereum team has not even begun to solve. Ethereum is very weak to be a competitor to Bitcoin, because Bitcoin has a strong enough community, an infrastructure with ATM terminals has already been formed, many companies integrate Bitcoin as a payment for their goods, and every day it increases. For example, a recent survey among residents of Canada showed that 85 understand what Bitcoin is and have at its disposal a certain part of the cryptocurrency. Ethereum should solve for the beginning a question of network scaling and reduction of the price of GAZ, so that it will not be ahead of EOS and NEO, which develop faster.

Include the network itself to reduce the fees and confirmation time just like what everyone is complaining about bitcoin.

Now that ETH has this, before it was quite too fast now it's one of the slowest network that we've been using. Though it's quite slow we're still using it and the same goes for bitcoin.

i think the ethereum coin framework has to do much more work on their security systems as it is and has become a great challenge in the industry as incessant attacks have been mostly recorded on the ethereum blockchain than ever

Yeah ethereum is the 2nd most popular altcoin after bitcoin. It has been in the market for some years now and is still standing strong. Ethereum has done both many goods and harms to the Cryptos sphere. Many legit startups can raise funds to develop their projects by creating a token on the Ethereum blockchain but unfortunately there are also many scam tokens projects nowadays. Also ethereum network can be so frustrating slow and with high transaction fees at times.

you can't really compare eth and bitcoin, they are completely different things.  You can start decentralized apps on bitcoin without clogging up the network.

Ethereum has to concentrate on providing better services to the numerous ER20 token holders in terms of transaction fee and speed instead of vying for the top spot with bitcoin. Every coin should improve the services they offer to holders instead of trying to be another coin. Originality should be preserved and not an imitation of ideas.

Correction: Ethereum is not comparable to Bitcoin at all.

What Bitcoin is: The very first decentralized Peer to peer digital currency, a currency to be used without a central administration.

What Ethereum is: Its an open source distributed computing platform based on blockchain which allows smart contracts and dApps building on there platform.

With your topic, you are comparing a Currency with a Platform.

So basically, there is nothing Ethereum can do to become Bitcoin or the vice versa.

If you are talking about market capital, then that will be a different story.

I think Ethereum can't be compared to Bitcoin, it has a totally different use-case. Bitcoin started as payment-coin. Ethereum started as a platform coin where you can create smart contracts and develop for your own use-case (ICOs). So payments are not Ethereum's main function.
Comparing I would not say, Bitcoin and Ethereum cannot be better than the opposite.
Yes you're right Ethereum will never compare to bitcoin they have different function. but some similiraties. Ethereum has smart contracts and can offer to Open start up business or what we call ICO.
Ethereum transaction is much faster than Bitcoin.

   Unlimited and centralized Ethereum - its main disadvantages. Mr.Buterin can issue an unlimited amount of Ethereum, devaluing the asset, as in the traditional financial system. Because of centralization, the future of coins and technology is concentrated in the hands of one person, which goes against the main idea of ​​crypto currency.
   Bitcoin is the strongest and most stable asset on cryptology, the issue of which will not end in either ours or the dozens of the next generations. And when this happens, people will pay Satoshi - the tenth and a millionths of bitcoins, which by that time will cost thousands of times more than now.
   P.S. I personally believe in their success together Hodl BTC and Ethereum  Wink

Nothing needs to be improved. After all, they, in fact, have never been in the rank of direct competitors. Bitcoin was originally seen as a means of payment, while the Ethereum network uses tokens to implement smart contracts.

Obviously the basic issue we need both these giants to resolve is the scalability issue, i mean it is simple that for growth to masses we need much faster and cheaper transactions, whoever will provide that will be the winner and im very hopeful that eth team will not let us down and will comeup with solid solutions soon.

Nothing, because both coins are unique for their qualities in the market that is not about the technology. Ethereum might be better but it is nothing to do with btc.

Yes both of them have different uses but one thing which is common with both bitcoin and ethreum which is both are reliable and no matter how much they drop down but they will rose again.

Bitcoin is much more popular than ethereum and I consider that it is the crucial difference. I think that almost every person heard about bitcoin it is the fact because there were lots of discussions about bitcoin in mass media and for much people crypto technologies are just bitcoin. What about ethereum? Only professionals and amateurs who are interested of crypto technologies know about the existing of ethereum.

Bitcoin can not be compared with the Ethereum platform, since it was created for very different purposes. These two crypto currencies will always be on par with each other, but bitcoin will always be slightly ahead of Ethereum.

Bitcoin has a restriction on the existence of 21 million coins. What can not be said about the ether, the number of coins is not limited. Due to the centralization and the infinity of emissions, the future of the coin is difficult to foresee. To date, it is difficult to unequivocally assert that it is better to buy bitcoin or ethereum. Bitcoin can be called the strongest and most stable asset on cryptology, and the ether is effective and potential.

Ethereum should NOT try to become "better" than Bitcoin, since it has a different mission and nature, it's mainly a platform, not a coin, and such it should stay. But of course it should work for an im proved scalability, at the moment it's almost a joke.

1. ICOS are risk for ETH: every project think of raising the money, conduct an Ethereum-based ICO which can have negative consequences as they will ultimately sell their holdings of ETH which will its price.
2. No fixed supply: Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum does not have a fixed amount of supply, which will make it inflationary.
3. Prevent any possibilities of scaling issues and network congestion in future. Ethereum is known for its speed and people will really quit using it if they will find that the blockchain has gone slow.
But despite of all this I still think that doing this task would be impossible for Ethereum thanks to the great first mover advantage that BTC has with it.

Is there any issues in your transaction time or transaction fees it is not a big problem in Ethereum. But other simple problems are not a serious issue so reputation is mandatory in Crypto. Bitcoin is always stay in first and others stay in a backward on forever.

Ethereum is not compared to bitcoin which is totally different from bitcoin,only the comparision is which is the next big crypto in terms of market cap valued coin after the bitcoin.Each coin is unique in their own way so it never can becomes as bitcoin.

Eth has issues with their transaction speed. In the last few days the gas was like 0.80$ which is way to high. The reason behind this was that there was a voting going on for an exchange listing and this slowed down the whole ETH blockchain. This just cant happen if ETH plans to be successful in the future.

This is difficult for Etherum to achieve
Because as long as there are icos and large conpanies holds large amount of Etherum
The market will always be manipulated and with that; matching bitcoin standards is difficult
Until Ethereum usage in icos are regulated, it’s rare and difficult to achieve a set standard by Etherum
