There are literally HUNDREDS of apps now being written for it.
That doesn't justify tens of millions of dollars in market capitalization per app, especially if none of these apps has any real use.

No way.

It would be a sad day if it would ever happen.

I think Eth is way overpriced as is

Why would it be a sad day? Because BTC is heir to the throne??

I think maybe people on here are looking at this too technically. Thinking about code, wallets and trading.

Just look at the sheer number of dapps in development - http://dapps.ethercasts.com/

I agree in that I don't see why tokens being used as fuel on a blockchain should be so high in value, but that's the way it is. As those dapps start getting rolled out (and more get into development) the value will increase even more.

Be as pissed off as you want about it but over the next few years ETH is going to rise a lot.

Forget about it not being user-friendly. People will be using ETH without even knowing it. It will ONLY be used as fuel in the dapps. Users at home will NOT be using ETH wallets. They will only be using dapps that utilize ETH fuel.

Most likely this will happen.
To this, there are all prerequisites.

It is strenge, could you please provide us with more details about your statement ? Because a lot of people here seriously doubt that Ethereum will ever get at the level of Bitcoin.

No. I don't think it ever will, only impulse trader think so.

Your statement is interesting.

You state a blief and then attack others that do mot hold your belief calling them emotional. Logically however you do not show any reason why btc will stay above eth.

It looks to me like what you accuse others reflects on you actually. Maybe i am wrong. Can you state reasons why btc would always stay above eth?


Adoption. Ethereum probably have 2 or 3% of Bitcoin adoptions. Like I said, Ethereum hype mostly base on impulse traders.

I think it will.

it's up to 25% of BTC marketcap and doesn't look like it's going to slow down. There are literally HUNDREDS of apps now being written for it. It wouldn't surprise me if it happens towards the end of the year.

I suppose the general question is "Are smart platforms more valuable than raw currencies?"

I seriously doubt that Ethereum will ever be the equal of Bitcoin in term of marketcap, especially because of the direction taken by the users of ethereum.

google Ethereum tutorial, and see the results, you should have hundreds of examples and tutorials about smart contracts, nothing else, just smart contracts. Basically, Ethereum is brough toward smart contracts which leads to the specialisation of users.
I just wonder why the Ethereum ecosystem is so limited. Either the amount of block explorers, APIs, open nodes, the variety of tutorials, the lack HYIPs and investment programs.

Gambling isn't taken in count because it is easy to change this and use Ethereum.

The answer is simple, Ethereum isn't user friendly. Try to do something with ethereum without using a smart contract and you will see how it is hard to achieve, a lot of peopkle just drop it out.

There is also a big lack of support from the developers. They just answer about smart contracts, nothing else.

And this is from a personal experience.

ETC is even worse.

I also can't see it happening. 25% already seems overdone to me.
Which of these super applications are being used or will be used in a serious way in the near future?

The DAO was obviously a great success, I would possibly hold off in investing large amounts of money into a new DAO until I know that the smart contracts are water tight.

Otherwise we might end up with a few more ETX fork coins!

The likelyhood of that happening is slim to none. And no, it will not happen at the end of the year, you know why ? Go look at some charts of what happens to Alts at that time.
There is value in ETH, but not enough to take over BTC's marketcap.

hi folks,

bitcoin started as a currency to be used worldwide etc but has pretty much moved to a store of value now which is where i think its true calling is and will be in the future,  but what about ETH what is its value (so to speak) its neither a currency or a bitcoin style asset store so where does it value or worth come in, why are people paying $80 dollars a token etc

its a genuine question from a newish to the scene guy, i have some of both so not playing them off against each other, just wondered what the answer was

thanks

It is highly probable that eth could overtake bitcoin.

But the current trend says it will. Nothing to do with impulse or pragmatic trading.
