Topic: Will Ethereum Replace Bitcoin? (Read 524 times)
The next topic with the same question, and the next same answer: this will never happen, the Etherarium can only get closer to the bitcoin by capitalization, there is no need to wait longer.
Bitcoin is the most significant cryptocurrency and its growth is inevitable. It is very early to compare it with Ethereum or other coin. Ethereum has all the prerequisites for growth, but it is impossible to catch up with bitcoin, at least in the next 5 years.
I don't see eth replacing btc in any time soon, but i think it can happen in the future. Eth has a lot of potential and most Ico's platform are based on eth's platform but knowing btc's superiority, eth's chance of replacing btc is still far.
This has been asked in many threads and my answer is invariably never.No doubt ETH is the most promising Altcoin and is based on latest smart contract technology,its community is increasing a lot,but it can not be compared with BTC.However in future if some unique technology more efficient that BTC is used in ETH then it can be considered compatible with BTC,ETH can not replace BTC.
Its very unlikely that ETH will ever replace BTC, first BTC is the pioneer crypto and that cannot be replaced. secondly the market cap BTC commands is just way too big to be closed down, unless something really special happens, Bitcoin will remain at the top of the crypto chats
Bitcoin is always a King of crypto currency world.Hardly say that one day Ethereum will replace Bitcoin’s position. The Ethereum is only good at Smart contract and Dapps. However i think by 2020 the price of eth will be about 20.000$ each. Mark my words by that time.
This comparison is nowhere to go. There are holders of their coins that are also believed that it's going to happen but I would say that it's a no. Look at the current movements, when bitcoin is going down it is followed by ETH and most of the other alt coins as well. They are all depending to bitcoin so stop saying that an alt coin will replace bitcoin.
It is possible that Ethereum could overtake Bitcoin one day, taking into consideration that Bitcoin is being so often debated, while Ethereum just works silently in the background. However, now, Bitcoin’s price still remains way bigger than the one of Ethereum.
Is there any chance(s)for Ethereum to be the next biggest cryptocurrency throughout the world?
I doubt it. Bitcoin is irreplaceable. Ethereum might be the top altcoin and might reach bitcoin value but replace it is impossible. When the time comes that ether will reach the bitcoin value now, the bitcoin value by then will be much greater than its value today. Bitcoin build its name through a long period of time and history can explain why bitcoin is the currency of future. On the other hand, ethereum is still building its reputation and proving his capacity on the crypto market. I think ethereum will never surpass bitcoin.
Probably! it might happen but not in the near future.
Truly ETH this days has the highest order among altcoins and also we have there competitions among many cryptocurrencies but there is a wide gap between bitcoin and it competitors.
It might not be easy for ETH to surpass bitcoin and remain as the king of cryptocurrency.

Mmm..
I doubt that there is any other cryptocurrency or altcoin that can supersede bitcoin. At least not for the next 5-years. Of course there are many competitors like ripple and litecoin and of course Ethereum..
Time will tell in due time..

The gap between Bitcoin and Ethereum is still very much but going by past record no person should underestimate the potentials of ETH. For example as of January 1 ,2017 Ethereum price was at $8.47. Compare that with the price as at January 13 .2018 the price was $1432.this huge increase shows the possibility of ETH competing with Bitcoin for the #1 position.
You make a good point, but you do realize that bitcoin has skyrocketed into the stratosphere just like Ethereum in the last couple of years. Bitcoin was a few cents in 2009 and it has reached a high of $20,000+ recently which shows why it is the king of the crypto world and this is definitely not the peak. As more and more investors continue to join the crypto world thanks to the growing popularity of bitcoin, it will continue to surge in value without looking back and am expecting it to touch $40k by the end of this year. On the other hand, Ethereum is a strong coin and will always settle for 2nd.
Honestly, bitcoin has quite a lot of faults and drawbacks.
So, I think and hope that yes, ETH will replace it.
The only thing btc has going for it at this point is its price and hype.

I think Ethereum can not pass bitcoin, The gap between Bitcoin and Ethereum is still very much. But Ethereum also has a good future, The rise of ETH shows that ETH has great potential and more and more people use it in the market.

This is a complex issue. There is a possibility that Ethereum will become the most popular cryptocurrency. The air is already used in 90 percent of the ICO.But it is very unlikely that Ethereum will become the most expensive currency.
I don't think it has to be the most expensive necessarily for it to overtake bitcoin.
So long as it becomes just as, if not, more popular than bitcoin...
I thought maybe that would happen, but not in the near future, maybe in more or less 10 years. That's my prediction only.
I thinks its not because we all know that bitcoin is the mother of all crypto and it would never replace by any coins.It has more stability and brighter future due to its strongest value in the market.It is most trusted by any other coins also
Obviously not. Ethereum can't have that much capability. Bitcoin will be the king now and then.. But Ethereum is also having a good future.. By the end of this year Ethereum will be double in price
I think this will be possible in the next few years. But it is not now with any chance.
I also believe that Ethereum can be a leading coin. but for the time I can not be sure. but nothing is impossible, as long as Ethereum continues to increase the chances for coin success are getting closer and clearer. Jump to:
