Topic: Will Ethereum be taking 1st place in 2020? - page 13. (Read 2711 times)

The last few weeks given me a new hope that the Ethereum will return to a better destination. I mean, the price of Ethereum will touch at least around 500$. But we can't imagine that anyday Ethereum will remove Bitcoin from number one position. Maybe Bitcoin can go further down in coming days but, Ethereum will never be able to replace Bitcoin from it's current position.

Ethereum is only the king of altcoins and that’s what it’s going to be and nothing else.
I don’t see it taking over the position of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the main leading cryptocurrency as a whole, and Ethereum follows  it.

Ethereum has been doing quite good this year but didn’t you see the recent fall in the price where it crashed after reaching $251 and dropped below $200? It’s doing well but not the extent where you will be able to compare it to Bitcoin, Bitcoin is far more ahead of it and topping the list constantly. But, anyone that invests in ETH will make profit as well when the time comes.

well, even in the best conditions, ethereum cannot replace bitcoin, even more so if ethereum is still heavily influenced by bitcoin. so far, there are no coins that can replace bitcoin, even so, many coins that have long been rumored to be replacing bitcoin, but this has never been achieved. even when ethereum was upgraded to ethereum 2.0, I think the potential to replace bitcoin is very small, even non-existent.

No, I don't think so. I predict Bitcoin still in the peak chart this year.
Ethereum still in the second or third positions.

indeed I see it is very difficult to beat bitcoin because ethereum is somewhat not have a demand as high as bitcoin and maybe the influence of bitcoin and ethereum supply are very different so that makes bitcoin prices more expensive and difficult to be defeated by ethereum.

is there any chance that bitcoin will disappear from the market? when that happens then that is ethereum opportunity to take over. but unfortunately everyone believes it will not happen to bitcoin. bitcoin still has full power and we have to support that. altcoin like ethereum can pump their own but when bitcoin doesn't support the market it won't last long.

Well, it is good that Ethereum have started this year with a great bang just like with the other cryptocurrencies who have risen up their prices just right up when the year 2020 have entered our calendars. As of the moment Ethereum just like the others are also experiencing the same thing of downfall that is why the price of Ethereum is also falling down. Well, it can or cannot be possible that Ethereum will ace and get to the top place only for the Altcoins but surely cannot replace Bitcoin into the top. That will only be made possible if and only if the contributing factors will be favorable to Ethereum to risen up its price to make it profitable. If that will happen, then we just need to wait up and see if Ethereum can make it to the top. Let us just all do hope that great things will come not just for Ethereum but for the whole cryptocurrency market as well.

Well, bitcoin has imposed too much dominance and pressure on the market over the years, altcoins only fall into despair when opposing bitcoin, want to exist, a compromise with bitcoin is necessary, eth is also one of the compromises, more precisely, ETH want or not want, eth can only accept second place in the market when bitcoin is still the most majestic mountain. Besides, while bitcoin still has infinite vitality, eth is not showing too much potential in the community, trying to stay in position is also a problem, competing with bitcoin will be an illusion

even though it is ranked 2nd and has a good development from year to year, it will never change that eth will beat bitcoin not in terms of market cap, daily volume and whatever it is even though eth development will be better continuously.
btc will remain standing at the top.

Hard to believe that Ethereum would take the place of Bitcoin for being the top crypto knowing how huge the gap is between their market prices. Also, if we would observe at this moment, the market value of ethereum is falling more than Bitcoin's market value. Not to mention that there is an anticipated halving for this year which is expected to boost the market price of Bitcoin, its advantagr in this case. I believe that there is a chance for other cryptos to overtake Bitcoin but I doubt that it would be this year.
There was an increase in its market price before, same with Bitcoin but it was not able to do the 'overtake' because most of the cryptos' market value is parallel to the market price of Bitcoin. And with that being said, huge change is needed in order for a crypto to be able to take the spot of Bitcoin in this industry.

You guys do realize that ethereum needs to go up 7 times higher while bitcoin staying still in order for it to go up right? The price is 204 dollars right now, which means it has to be close to 1400 dollars while bitcoin not moving a single bit. If you think that is possible and could happen I can say nothing to you and good luck with your investments.

However, if you can think with logic and come up with absolutely no reason for ethereum to go x7 higher while bitcoin not moving, you are smarter than the person who opened this topic. There is absolutely no way ethereum goes x7 while others stay still, this is not some obscure small tiny new project token we are talking about, this is ethereum and even doubling was a major deal for ethereum so there is no way it goes x7 let alone do it all by itself.

It's unrealistic dream if you keep thinking or hoping that Ethereum will take the first place someday, it's never going to happen, Ethereum is already at its best place which is the second position it's already in right now, price can surge higher in near future but it will remain in the second position

maybe OP was just mistakenly put the wrong title,i think what he meant is "Number 1" or First Place in "altcoins" because understandingly Bitcoin cannot be take placed not in our days and also in the next generation from us.

i know like what you said it is not permanent but 2-3 decades more before something comes up to take the position,but 2020?impossible and not happening even in the  next years.

exactly nothing there is a matter of opinion or personal, other than scammers in general being a personal thing for anyone who dislikes scammers in general. it doesn't matter what the centralized ethereum team randomly decides - nothing about centralized networks supply cap is certain nor any other rules, including future confiscations/censorship which are trivial on ethereum for the central premining party.

the ethereum design allows 1 party to control 72m of supply for free, so it doesn't matter what Ethereum team does or doesn't do, Ethereum was a failure from point they designed it in 2014 to be centrally premined and thus centrally controlled.

Centralized 72m eth = central control of incentives = central control of blockchains that are controlled by incentives = ethereum is centralized = lying about it makes it a scam, by definition.

Actual literal idiots like Vitalik or anyone in ethereum community have already proven to not capable of being rational on this topic by choosing the broken design of ethereum.

Ethereum is not a cryptocurrency, it's not decentralized in any way, it's not a real project, it's the textbook definition of a scam = lying for money, it's a matter of math and not an opinion.

there is some reason why ethereum could not be number 1 in crypto market. simple example was ethereum supply that bigger than bitcoin and also ethereum has no scheme like bitcoin halving.  ethereum will stay on top 3 in market in my opinion  for long time or even another coin will replace ethereum place.

The investors are still trusting bitcoin more than ethereum and it's quite impossible for ethereum to take the bitcoin's place. At least this assumption is free to be said by anyone. That's enough for ethereum to be in second place after bitcoin.

Despite some changed done by the Ethereum team about total supply cap and coin to be created per annum like it or not Ethereum is still consider as a crypto currency and it will be nice if you dont take this situation personal. Let people make their own choices or else someone will misunderstand your statement as FUD.
With that been said, Ethereum will only hold it number 2 place.

In my opinion, too much time is needed for ethereum to be number 1 in terms of market cap value. Investors still trust Bitcoin as a long-term investment and the value of Bitcoin daily transactions is still far compared to ethereum

I would have loved to see ethereum bullish due to the fact that the coin is one of the crypto that is heavily utilized coupled with the fact that thousands of smart contract has been created on it but this usefulness seems not to reflect in the price because ETH price is invariably constant. I believe may be due to the fact that most of these tokens that turn out to be shit also affect the ETH price as a whole

what possible usecase is there for a centralized platform that's only pretending to be decentralized and thus costs more, takes longer, and you still depend on centralized trust due to the idiocy of premine.

they took credit for others work countless times, created nothing, a community of only literally idiots and scammers in every way

If premine wasn't enough, if random confiscations of money wasn't enough, if censorship of tx, if creation of blacklists wasn't enough to convince you about it on eth, that's called illiteracy on the topic.

Every single person promoting ethereum should be treated no different than a pedophile or a scumbag selling broken parachutes to children while lying about their safety for money.

Ethereum does not qualify to be an altcoin, because it's fully centralized

Ethereum does not qualify to be an cryptocurrency, because it's fully centralized

Ethereum does not qualify to be useful technology, because it's less efficient at centralized things, and can do exactly 0 decentralized things.

Calling Ethereum an altcoin is an insult to altcoins, almost every non scamming developer, including big ones like sia/xmr, including even the damn inventor of smart contracts, Nick Szabo, consider eth a disgusting scam.

One has to literally be an idiot to like eth if incapable of figuring out 1 central trusted party is not decentralized.

It's literally known as chain of liars and thieves https://medium.com/@WhalePanda/ethereum-chain-of-liars-thieves-b04aaa0762cb

Ethereum cannot do smart contracts, it cannot do trust minimized transactions, it's literally pre-bitcoin era technology. At least some altcoins experiment with interesting ideas without giving up trust minimization for profit like idiots like Vitaliks Bitconners Onecoins do.

Bitcoin invented smart contracts, yet you never hear that form Eth camp. https://medium.com/@nextlevelcrypto/whats-the-story-with-smart-contracts-and-ethereum-c0d771fd9eb9

Ethereum's place is irrelevant because centralized ethereum scam is irrelevant to decentralized technology field completely.

It shouldn't be listed on any cryptocurrency website because it's not one.
