Topic: WIll ETH pass BTC in 2019 ? - page 26. (Read 60706 times)

I know that bitcoin and ethereum are the top cryptocurrency . Good foundation and development by this two cryptocurrency .
Bitcoin is #1 as of the moment and I dont think that ethereum can surpass bitcoin now or in 2019. Ethereum must need to do more improvement to get the trust of some investors and members here in the forum. It will take longer year before ethereum surpass bitcoin , but this is not impossible to happen.

I think in 2019, Bitcoin will remain a market leader, Bitcoin is a giant in the crypto world so its position is very strong and very difficult to replace, my opinion Ethereum will remain in the number 2 maybe up to 5 years ahead.

Ethereum is a good coin and potentially big in the future but I do not think that Ethereum can beat Bitcoin in 2019, I think Bitcoin will still lead the market maybe 5 to 10 years into the future.

Bitcoin is king and now a benchmark for all coins so I think Ethereum cannot beat Bitcoin,
I think Ethereum can only take second place after Bitcoin.

No..ethereum will never beat bitcoin in anyway. Bitcoin will always be the first and trustable cryptocurrencies ever. The only one thing bitcoin can lose trust is if sathosi nakamoto can move his stash. It will make whole crypto panic and selling their stash too.ethereum still the best altcoin but will never beat bitcoin whatever the condition is.

Not only Ethereum won't pass BTC in 2019 but I will go further and say that Ethereum and the rest of the altcoins could see their death in the next 5 years assuming that the development will continue as it is (and from what we've seen, the community is only growing more and more).

What to expect from bitcoin in the future? Atomic swaps, Submarine swaps, Lightning network, Schnorr Signatures, TumbleBit etc. All these things combined with the big community and the strong userbase that bitcoin currently have should give you an idea on what's going to happen.

I think that this is impossible, it is difficult for Ethereum to pass Bitcoin in 2019. Bitcoin is still the strongest, its capital is still much larger than Ethereum. Bitcoin still controls the market. Ethereum will need a lot of time and it must grow stronger. I think that only when Bitcoin is weak will Ethereum have a chance to pass Bitcoin.

ETH is always a fantastic option, especially if you're willing to take some calculated risk. ICOs will be massive this year, and that means risk taking with ETH will be much more prominent.

Not sure if you’re into ICOs at all as well, just going to give you some genuinely promising projects to maybe look into.
 The ICOs are TIP Blockchain, Daostack IO, GrapheneTech, Muirfield IP, Deedcoin, OPP Open Wifi, and Orthonogal.

**TIP Blockchain** aims to create the most user-friendly and easy to use platform in the cryptocurrency economy, that connects businesses to end users, and removes the technical barriers that users face today when using cryptocurrency.

**Daostack IO** powers decentralized companies, funds and markets to make fast and innovative decisions at scale. Basically an operating system for collective intelligence.

**GrapheneTech** is the first cryptocurrency based on a revolutionary material; Graphene.

**Muirfield IP** is an opportunistic private equity real estate investment firm leading the effort to reinvent and improve private equity investing through the use of blockchain technology.

**Deedcoin** is a cryptocurrency that will simplify real estate. Deedcoin customers use DEED to decide what to pay in commission costs when purchasing or selling a home, lowering the traditional 6% fee to 1%.

**OPP Open Wifi** is a community driven service with the sole purpose of creating a global, free to access open WiFi hotspot network and rewarding each contributor for being a part of their cause.

**Orthogonal** is an investment company that focuses their attention and resources on companies that almost promise financial return.

I suppose, here, we can make some prediction. It will not happen in 2018-2019. probably, one day Ethereum will really try to reach Bitcoin but we will have to wait for it at least for several years more.

Eth cannot even recover right now without the help of bitcoin so that is merely impossible to happen. I know vitalik has announced some good plans with eth recently but  we need to see the outcome first before we can say that is has a chance to surpass bitcoin.

I don't think so. Market cap of Bitcoin still so big compare to ethereum. Ethereum will not surpass Bitcoin, becuase Bitcoin has different function compare to Ethereum, they are very different. But they are both the best!

No, I don't think it will happen ever. ETH never can overcome Bitcoin's Fame, Value, Popularity. Why people compare bitcoin with other coins,l I really can't think about it. You can compare ETH with NEO or EOS. But with bitcoin? No way. Bitcoin will remain the king of the cryptocurrency. Before asking questing I think you should read the history of Bitcoin and how bitcoin come here. Good Luck

It's a big NO. Why? Because thinking how bitcoin reached its position today is like building a wooden house without wood and nails. I mean, it took a decade for bitcoin to reach its position now and looking how big its market cap compared to ETH is just a clear proof that ETH can't even go near BTC's market cap in 2019.

I think the probability is very high. ETH definitely should be greater than btc but the only question is the time. I suppose late 2018/2019 is that time.

I don't think that. Etherium or the other of altcoin need more time to pass bitcoin. Agree that altcoin was created with good idea and in a strong platform, dev team need time to develop their idea, and market need time to consider invest.

Whatever new crypto currency is not appearing in our world, Bitcoin will always be the king of the crypto currency market. The one who first appeared will always remain first.

So you think that this time will happen in future? That etherum will be "better" than bitcoin in price and amount of users? For me it COULD happen but i don' think that it will happen in near future or even in future.

Who knows, man? Ethereum is an extremely powerful altcoin, and more and more people support it and want to buy and hold for long. I can easily admit that the time when ETH will overcome Bitcoin will come.

Although I appreciate ETH and currently I am holding pretty much. But I do not think ETH will overtake BTC. ETH is much younger than BTC, it needs more time to prove. At present, ETH is silver, BTC is gold.

I guess, It is impossible dude. Ethereum is dependent to Bitcoin. Actually all market is dependent to Bitcoin.
