Topic: Will ETH has the capacity to pass BTC? - page 2. (Read 313 times)

If you look at such a history, many such histories of Bitcoin have already been made. I don't think bitcoin can be outperform by ethereum or any other alternative coin in any ratio. But Ethereum is undoubtedly one of the alternative coins and their performance has been exceptional from the beginning and I think it's a plus point for Ethereum that in the future they can hold the same position they hold now.

I'm not speculating too much what will happen in the future regarding the issue you're referring to. But what I really believe is that the development of the cryptocurrency market will be very popular in the future, I just read in an article that some universities are starting to add one. There are a number of new industries that are related to the cryptocurrency market, and this surprised me because the country I live in is just a country on the rise, but approaching this field excites me. However, back to your problem, I see ETH and BTC have different features. BTC is defined as a cryptocurrency with the main task of acting as a means of payment. Meanwhile, ETH was developed to allow building decentralized applications (dApps) on top of the Ethereum platform. As a result, Ethereum is preferred by those interested in its capabilities in blockchain application development, while Bitcoin is generally considered a store of value. Along with that is how and how quickly the price of ETH increases can depend on many different factors, including market interest, the development of blockchain applications on Ethereum, and many other economic factors. However, it should be noted that prices in the cryptocurrency market can be very volatile and can rise and fall dramatically in the short term. As for how the price of ETH rises, it may not only be due to an increase in the value of Ethereum, but also depends on the distribution and search expectations of the market. If the crypto market tends to seek interest in Ether, its value could rise faster than that of BTC. In many cases, making a cryptocurrency value prediction is very difficult, as that depends on a lot of factors, including the recession, fiscal and economic policies of each country. However, if someone is interested and knowledgeable enough, investing in ETH can have good potential for returns. Although it is a bit long, I hope you will read and appreciate it in a more open way.

But if we talk about growth  percentage, bitcoin is usually  no where among  the top 10 as other altcoins get pumped hard and this could easily work in ethereums favor.


But with the ethereum blockchain hosting the widest variety of  tokens on its blockchain this makes eth demand already high enough to push its price up, but overtaking bitcoin has never happened  even with these factors in its favor.

I think it would be possible for bitcoin to stop growing eventually but ETH keep on growing after that. Not saying that it will get over it, but it could get close to it which already happened. We were closer than this back during the bull run, the reason for that is the fact that it requires less money to increase ethereum whereas it requires a lot more money to increase bitcoin. To make bitcoin go double, you need twice as much as you need to make eth double in price.

Obviously the closer they get the closer the requirement becomes and that is why it doesn't happen, but I believe that we will not be seeing anything like that anytime soon, it should be pretty tough to have anything in that regard and maybe we will see something better.

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.Ethereum was top of most of the altcoin in the market.The people can hold Eth for next to years to see how Ethereum reacts.

In my opinion, what determines the probability of an altcoin price growing is the market cap. The lower the market cap, the higher the probability of growing, and depending on this fact we can measure how much every coin can rise. Clearly, I'm talking about legit projects that have a product, not about a pump and dump coins. Regarding ETH, it has a higher growing probability than Bitcoin simply because it's less than half the market cap of Bitcoin, so the probability of doing more × is high. Indeed, ETH price made bigger × than Bitcoin in the previous bull run, and I expect it to do the same in the next one, as the Ethereum team are doing their best and the improvement of the network is going well. However, not every altcoins will do the same, as we also saw altcoins that did much less than Bitcoin. Actually, most of them didn't even surpass their previous all time high.

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.

Altcoins are more volatile than Bitcoin. So, it is not very surprising if the ratio of ETH pump price can be higher than BTC. However, ETH is always following BTC price development, everything depends on how BTC price trends. If BTC price continues to increase and even can make a new ATH, then ETH seems to experience the same way. While if BTC price tends to decrease gradually, it will be a very small chance to see ETH price grows significantly.

By the way, OP only talks about the pump ratio between ETH and BTC. Regarding someone who prefers to choose BTC over ETH, it is his own right. We may view something in a different way, so nothing wrong with this.

Ethereum is the biggest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin and has a great value of course, but when it comes to competition, it doesn't even come near Bitcoin, whether it's about the growth ratio, the market value, trading volume, or anything in specific, Bitcoin is the top cryptocurrency for a reason, and that reason is that it's considered to be the best.

I like trading Ethereum for the short term, like buying it now and selling it a bit later when the market is rising a little bit, one can even hold it for long if they were able to catch it when it crashed to $800 in the recent Bitcoin crash, but I wasn't that lucky unfortunately.

And in your case, you already decide that Bitcoin is your priority, not ETH. Meaning, you never let ETH surpass BTC and it is because you know that BTC has the capacity to rule over the market while ETH remains the #2 no matter what.

Because even Ethereum will pump 100%, we can't consider this as an indication that Bitcoin had losing capacity as it sometimes happens in the market. What we need is consistency and I know it never happens, it drops back and possibly BTC will rise at that time. They can be in opposite directions.

Since eth is a deflationary coin unlike btc its potential is totally undeniable, yes it can take years to burn more eth and make it more scarce like bitcoin but its technology its brings compare to bitcoin is really advance like DEFI its just starting and if the world will finally adopted it the power of eth will be very dominant over the years I think.

Not sure if this going to happen but we are all free to decide as it is our money to risk, though I will maintain my Holding majority for bitcoin and will hold small part for altcoin like ethereum.
ETH is working and doing great today crossing 2k again , but to surpass bitcoin is a Bit over expectation in terms of pumping percentage .
but lets see, since we as crypto holder can benefits no matter whom to move high first.

Mate let us not assume that there is permanent in crypto , remember that price and coins will move no matter what depend on how people support this , what if time changed that people goes to other coins? I am not saying it is Ethereum but what I pointing here is that changes will come( though I still support bitcoin) .
but at least chances are right?

Check out the monthly chart for ETH/BTC tho.  ETH has slowly been gaining ground since mid 2019 and it's still going tho it's kinda choppy starting around June  2021.  Does that mean there's going to be a flippening for ETH and BTC?  Who knows...  But could anybody say that BTC is going to stay the top dog of crypto forever in terms of market cap?  Saying yes would be sketchy imho, because again...  Who knows.

But I'm pretty sure maxis would say so without any real convincing arguments backing up the claim, just faith.

Bitcoin will always be the top dog in the crypto industry and ethereum will always be the second in the crypto ranking though ETH is having a great momentum this year because of their shanghai fork that contributed a price uptrend this month. In terms of strong adoption, no one can beat BTC no matter what.

this is crypto and nothing is impossible to happen though it will be hard for ETH to prove this to happen , there are chances even in the past  that there is ETH moving higher than bitcoin but nowadays?or in the future? Am not sure if this can happen but we cannot deny that crypto world has so much to expect and changes.

Pump per Bull ? I don't think this will ever come even if not in value or capitalization because yes Ethereum at some point made a Big move against Bitcoin but remember the year that you addressed happens after Bitcoin reaching its ATH and that is 2017 , and that 2018 is when the so called "Altcoin Season " happened?
and ethereum to be the next 28k? yeah it will but first bitcoin needs to reach at least million dollars .
actually he is talking about the Bull movement and not the price but yeah it is close to impossible to happen.

If you want to have higher chance to get bigger profit, invest in altcoins. Among thousands of altcoin, Ethereum is a best altcoin for you. It's a biggest altcoin and a safest choice if you want to invest in altcoins.

It is not fair to compare Bitcoin and Ethereum at different times and different growth, adoption levels of cryptocurrency market.

Without Bitcoin launch in 2009, will we have Ethereum, likely not.

Bitcoin will always have higher price than Ethereum but ROI for Ethereum if you join in 2023 and hold it next 10 years would be better than buy Bitcoin now and hold it for 10 more years.

After all, I don't see how Ethereum can take over Bitcoin with its first position in marketcap.

Surpassing BTC is next to impossible since ETH is going POS. Tokens in POS are earned by stakers/validators and they earn the ETH almost with just nothing but biding time.

Mining BTC is the hard part because miners would have to pay more for their energy bills to earn them. And it means that these miners will not sell in  loss that's the difference.

and also there are better coins that we can check and wait for this to break bitcoin but never Ethereum mate ,I trust bitcoin to be the number one coin forever but once there is another coin to pass btc? then this is not ETH (well at least for me ?)
