The ETH/BTC ratio is presently about 0.068. It needs to reach 0.16 to "flip" BTC in market cap, though I'd argue it would probably be a little less than that in all actuality because many more BTC have been lost for forever on a relative basis than ETH because everyone thought BTC was a joke in the beginning.
Do I think it can get there? Yes. It's hard to say what the odds are. But seems like a relatively good gamble to me. I think BTC is the safer overall bet as just a crypto to buy and hold. But ETH may outperform in general over time.
The major reasons I see ETH outperforming over time is simply that people both use and build on it far more than BTC. By factors of about 10x, consistently. See for yourself:

I do wonder if BTC will get left behind technologically. Of course, it's stability and lean software may be what saves it in the long run. Hard to know.
Topic: Will ETH has the capacity to pass BTC? (Read 313 times)
with the presence of the second layer that has tremendously increased the active usage of ethereum right now i think it's most certainly possible considering the fact that right now volume of ethereum also slowly and steadily increasing. ethereum growth in term of value is quite fast, that I think with the fact that its got undenied utilities, could definitely help it out grow bitcoin.
I think that any coin has the capacity to surpass bitcoin. Ethereum has ever surpassed btc in the past. The possibility is always there but that's actually depends on how big the hype that already achieved by coin. As long as all of trading volume will able to be concentrated into the ethereum and it may possible for ethereum to take bitcoin spot. I would say that's impossible caused by it has ever happened in the past. So many veteran in here have ever seen about that too.
Perhaps, it was hard to believe that ETH will surpass Bitcoin even though there is a surge in its volume. Granting that Bitcoin is dominating the market since from the very beginning, it was really impossible for ETH and any altcoin to stop it. Besides, I'd never see any altcoins that are capable enough to that because it was not just the price, but also how the project is been useful to the community and we can't deny that Bitcoin has play a big role in crypto world more than what ETH and these altcoins can provide. legendary

The way and manner of speed ETH bullish at times makes me feels one day, the pump price ratio of ETH may outgrow BTC not in terms of how much is BTC or ETH? But the ratio speed of pumps per bull. I remember 2018 when ETH was less than $150 but ETH takes two weeks to bull market. If somebody should be wise enough ETH would be the next 28k dos.
Never in the history that eth surpass btc, eth is aways next to btc, they are both trusted and popular coin but bitcoin is always the most valuable coin in crypto than any other from 2010 till present, so for me i didn't believe that there is a surpassing of Ethereum to bitcoin today or even in the near future. what we can surmise here is the fact that btc and eth are giving life in this market. they are at the top where each user can use each network depending on their necessity.
for now, we are not seeing eth surpassing btc anytime soon. the people are more into btc especially in terms of payment method. the gas fee is still the major complaint of most eth users.
I don't think, Ethereum has the capacity to pass Bitcoin, because whenever the price of Bitcoin is pumping in the market, Ethereum price will be pumping too that made Ethereum to maintain second position among other cryptocurrencies. Now that the price of Bitcoin has increased to $30,389 and Ethereum price had increased to $2,231 few hours ago, showed that before the price of Ethereum will hit $28,000 next year, Bitcoin price will definitely reach $100,000 for people to believe that Bitcoin will remain the king among other cryptocurrencies. Investing in Ethereum in this season is favourable, because the price will definitely increase higher next year to allow investors to achieve a good profits from their investment.

anything can happen in the world of crypto currency, in 2017 to 2018 we know Ethereum is at a very cheap price, yes $ 80 to $ 100 is the price of Ethereum in that year, and now look at the price of Ethereum being able to be at $ 2000 it can even be up to $ 5000 if the price Bitcoin is bullish again.

"Will" is a weird way to put it. The capacity is there, so if you are asking "will it go pass btc?" thats different, but if you want to ask capacity, I think a better question would be "does eth have the capacity to pass btc?" because it already does. This doesn't mean that ETH will pass BTC, just because something can, doesn't mean it will. By this logic I believe that shiba has the "capacity" to pass everything else, doesn't mean it will, we all know it won't. However, if the question is just regarding the future potential then I do agree about it.
I do not ask about the future of this situation but that doesn't mean that we are not talking about something that would work out well for the current dilemma we are having. ETH will not pass BTC, even if it has the potential.

Well, if we're only talking about the potential profit percentage here, then it would be a better choice to pick ethereum. Still though, I prefer keeping equal amounts of investment on both Ethereum and Bitcoin along with some reputable altcoins in the market for mid to long-term holding. But of course, Ethereum and Bitcoin are still my top priority. And if I really want some good profits faster, I go for shitcoins. Investing amounts that I can afford to lose. Don't invest blindly though! Always study about what you are investing in even if it's only on shitcoins because even if it is an amount you can afford to lose, a loss is still a loss.
I believe Ethereum does not have the capacity to pass Bitcoin, because there are still many investors who believe Bitcoin rather than Ethereum and the popularity of Bitcoin will not be able to beat (including Ethereum)
I am positive and optimistic with Ethereum's future but these type of comparisons are useless and nonsense. It's been for a long time since people thinking that bitcoin will be cut out by another project and even it's ETH, that won't happen.so I believe that whenever Bitcoin will be higher than Ethereum (Ethereum has no chance to capacity bypassing Bitcoin).
Bitcoin is already at top of Ethereum and let's just all agree that it won't have any chance of surpassing bitcoin.Because even so there's a good run for ETH, you'll see that it also goes up turning on just as bitcoin.
Ethereum is good coin as like bitcoin,traders call Ethereum as a Queen of crypto currency.This name come because of legitimacy of Ethereum even if they are decentralised cryptocurrency.Many people earned from Ethereum when it crossed the value of 2.5k dollars.The Binance Smart Chain of BNB had replaced the Ethereum for the transaction,this reduced the demand of Ethereum as a transaction mode and BSC had replaced it.So only the people who had some coins in Ethereum transactions based altcoin using Ethereum.Some people who want to mine Ethereum 2.0 also buying the Ethereum.Probably the price of Ethereum will back to 2500 once again.

What you think about this post?Quote
I think it is possible people continue to buy eth despite the circumstances (your metrics are wrong btw there is much more than 15% of the supply locked up ) but even if they do they would not be able to defend their money from government censorship or censorship by other affiliated entities which defeats the whole point of cryptocurrencies at large.
does it make sense about your thread here? ________________________________________________________________
because for how many times that I come across the same question or hopes , and yet people still not understand what is ethereum and what is Bitcoin.
how they works and what are their futures.
Ethereum will never surpass Bitcoin that is what I believe and hold .

You can look at past history to judge their future, but that's not all the reason it will make a difference in this market. It is undeniable that btc has always held the top position ever, when it comes to crypto, people will say BTC first money and then altcoins, all later cryptos are born just stop at the level of competition. compete for market share and have never been able to topple BTC. Similarly, many new altcoins create a desire to replace the position of ETH, but increasingly only prove the position of BTC and ETH is very large and difficult to replace.

As for market volume, Ethereum can't overpass Bitcoin because Bitcoin is the most trusted cryptocurrency in the market, Bitcoin is on every exchange and on everywhere news when they're covering the cryptocurency the market. Bitcoin will always get the free publicity that'll make people keep getting interested in investing in Bitcoin.
Ethereum might lose its second position to a stablecoin or any other coin one day but that doesn't mean it isn't worthy to invest in, if you're looking to make more profits from the market, Ethereum can give you more profit that Bitcoin can ever give and that's why you see Ethereum having more daily gains than Bitcoin.
Ethereum is cheaper than Bitcoin and has almost the same reputation and popularity like Bitcoin so it'll always give more profits because it's less costly to buy Ethereum than Bitcoin.
There are still developments happening with BTC so it’s very possible there will be many L2 like Arbitrium and Opensea which will be secured by the l1 network however it’s basically difficult now because the network is very basic and makes it harder to develop compared to ETH which has smart contracts.
So you can value Ethereum as higher since just because you can run smart contracts on it doesn’t means it’ll win over Bitcoin. Plus POW in my opinion is more decentralized and secure compared to ETH POS at the moment. And decentralization is very important to crypto.

I do not think so, ethereum is a good coin and all of that but it has nowhere near the trust that bitcoin has garnered over the years, and as long as that is the case then investors will never allocate as much money to ethereum as they do to bitcoin, you must understand that retail traders no longer control this market, the ones that do so are whales, and whales are not interested on any other coin other than bitcoin whether you like this or not.OP is asking of passing the bull ratio and not the price or capitalization in which I believe can happen again once there are altcoin season like when the time OP mentioned in 2018 that Ethereum really made a great pump over other coin even bitcoin>?
Ethereum is the potential cryptocurrency in the market next to the bitcoin.The history of the bitcoin was far better then the Ethereum,people who want to inverse of crypto currency.With a little amount of dollars,you can buy multiple numbers of Ethereum with the fraction of the bitcoin price.The price of the Ethereum all the time depends on the price of bitcoin.So when the bitcoin price was pumped,the same thing was reflected on the price of Ethereum.The traders use this opportunity to cash out their coins to Fiat with some profit.
actually it is about the passing the Bull percentage and that is not about eth breaking btc in its total cap and value . Jump to:
