Bitcoin ofcouse is the main cryptocurrency but what do you guys think of long term value of Ethereum? seems that developers do not like it much but its applications seems limitless. could it surpass bitcoin in future?

Etherium is a pretty awesome coin. And i believe that it has a very big potential to give big profits to all investors that are willing to stay on etherium for the long run and hold. As good as that sounds, i still think bitcoin will remain as the top of the list still even after a few years. It has already proven itself worthy for our trust. So i suggest you stick with bitcoins

Things change so fast that it's hard to predict what things will look like just a year or two in the future.

I can see Ethereum becoming the most dominant medium of exchange in the world, and I can see Ethereum being completely supplanted by a blockchain with easier to write, safer contracts.

To illustrate, consider the example of Tezos: the whole concept was to develop a blockchain that was similar to but better than Ethereum. That could have been the future of crypto. Now it looks like Tezos is going down in flames. In other words, the future is too difficult to predict.

Sorry for the bad news but ethereum will never surpass the bitcoin. Ethereum is a great coin and all but it reached its natural limits. I don't expect ethereum to reach 1k any time soon.

Maybe yes, maybe not. Ethereum has more milestones and plan to develop while bitcoin is now controlled by many different forces. They all want to take the advantage for themselves and refuse to make any improvement without the spliting in the bitcoin chain. That is why we have bitcoin cash and on tomorrow, we will have bitcoin gold. At the middle of November, we will also receive bitcoin2x

Yes mate!

Bitcoin Development Team ain't weaker than Ethereum Team as Bitcoin is open source, as long as you can make sure 51% of miner agree with your idea. You are good to go.

But IMO, Ethereum serves more purpose than just a currency, with the help of smart contracts, alot of things can be done with it

I agree, even tho btc will allways be the first one, eth still has a long way to go, because lots more uses.

In the near future, Ethereum's market volume of 200 billion dollar will pass very comfortably. It may seem impossible, but make sure it is not impossible at this point, but with a simple message everything can begin.

I agree many crypto enthusiast was already using the ethereum blockchain ,I think the more people adapt to it the larger it's value will increase , so right now I am Holding some amount of ethereum and stored it to some secured wallet because I know in no time it could surpass the bitcoin value

Such a situation will never exist. Bitcoin will always be the leader for the digital currency network. Ethereum and other assets will serve as the platform alternative to bitcoin. Lot many projects were functioning as well successfully developed on the ethereum Blockchain platform. This might add value to it, but this won't cause a growth to surpass bitcoin in long run.

I think this will definitely happen. I expect a lot from Waves, Ethereum and Stratis, and I think these coins promise the future. Bitcoin as a market share of ethereum will soon pass.

I don't think it will surpass it before 5 or 10 years.
In the mind of neophytes, the only crypto currency is Bitcoin. Medias only know Bitcoin.
So when people will really be interested in blockchain and crypto currency, they all will go on Bitcoin, because it's the famous one.

When the whole world will be pluged in with crypto, they will start to check what is around it, and they will discover contracts, services, and the companies will (thay already did) start working on blockchain services and use some concepts, like ethereum or maybe other new ones.
In the same time, Bitcoin will arrive at it cap, and all the coins will be mined, so those coins will take again some value for their rarity.

After some years, when the usefullness of BTC will start to decrease (because nearly all the coins that are currency are currently faster and safer than BTC). Then, maybe, ETH will start to surpass BTC.
In any way, both of them will be surely very high and will take value with time.

Every thing here is, of course, pure hypothesis

It can’t but ethereum may manage to be a good competitor to bitcoin. Im optimistic about ethereum future as it has good fundamentals and might bull run its price next year and it will be a big one that for sure. I’m planning to make hold of it for long term investments.

No and it will not.

Ethereum with it's current price still not acceptable in some of the merchants. So how come it can surpass bitcoin for long term.

Decentralization shall be the end of the Old World

Ethereum to reach current BTC price means $540 billion market cap. Seeing the current trajectory of both crypto and Ethereum as a service, doesnt really seem that unlikely in the long term, lot of years from now.

Beating BTC though? Doesnt seem likely unless some major incident happens.

despite Ethereum is one of my favorite alt coin, I still don't believe that eth can surpass bitcoin. it doesn't seem like eth has such a strength at the moment.

Bitcoin is currently very popular with the extremely high value. Compared to Ethereum that has a very far difference will not make Ethereum surpass Bitcoin even take over position of Bitcoin. However Bitcoin will remain first because this currency is the first cryptocurrency in this world. People are more familiar with Bitcoin than Ethereum.

If the ethereum to outperform the bitcoin I think is quite difficult, very few possibilities. Because we know that bitcoin is the first crypto can be said also mother of other coin or altcoin. Bitcoin will stay on top and ethereum still follow it in the second position. But what should be on beware of bitcoin is a smart contract that is in etherium. That's what bitcoin does not yet have.

There was a coin recently switched to POS, their market crashed, price dropped like a stone. the same will happen to Ξ after switching to POS, also you don't have a hard fork on Bitcoin every week like people are used to jump their girl friends, mistresses and wives every week, fully fledged lol.
Bitcoin will remain the same to the end but looks like Ξ doesn't know what to do.
