Hello everyone!

Recently, I was thinkig. Is there really any reason for the BTC to be the market leader? The only thing that is giving the value to BTC is pretty much the fact, that it was the first crypto currency. It is the grandfather of all cryptos. But we know it has its flaws... It was never designed for broad usage, it has scaling issues and so on.

On the other hand, we were given ETH. The Crypto Kitties or w/e the awesome internet meme ETH appliction is called showed us, that ETH network has issues with high amounts of usage. BUT, 90% of all altcoins are based on the ERC-20 standard, brought to us by ETH. The smart contracts using the Solidity are extremly good piece of technolgy.

So my question is. Do you think, that BTC will keep its leadership, or will ETH be the winner of this year and surpass its ancestor?


I really hope that Ethereum will win in this "coin battle" but maybe not in this year, I think that Ethereum will be #1 cryptocurrency in 2-3 years.

I think that Ethereum has great prospects than bitcoin. It comes out a lot of ICO it has a serious value. Even now, when bitcoin is falling, Ethereum is holding at good levels.

Well as of right now, Ethereum is 0.0843btc, a long way from 0.053btc in April. While Bitcoin is struggling to maintain an uptrend, Ethereum is slowly gaining back lost ground to its ATH at 0.152btc. That's 1,258 dollars in today's BTC price.

That's a quote good analysis and as far as this year's price trend I think ethreum has upper hand as of now but still a long way to go as we are waiting for the bullrun and if ethreum repeats what happened last year then ethreum can win.

I would vote for the etherium, my swill is used more often than bitcoin, for example, to participate in ICO or to buy coins, which is very important

This year I think that the Ethereum can show good growth. A lot of ICOs are conducted on its basis.

Each coin has its advantages and disadvantages, not only in bitcoin. I do not believe that only because of the factors that you listed, bitcoin is in the first place. Personally, I have no doubt that bitcoin will remain the leader of all crypto-currencies.

No one will give you exactly the answer to this question, because the development of the crypto currency is unpredictable, and if bitcoin is replaced by another coin, it will not happen very soon.

The winner is Bitcoin, I'm sure and there is no doubt with it. No altcoin even eth can beat bitcoin because the bitcoin is the first coin ever introduced in blockchain technology and that is the reason why many altcoins are arising today. The gap of bth between eth is very big and it's impossiblr for eth to beat btc unless eth has investors as many or as much as the investors of btc.

Ethereum would have been the clear winner if not for bitcoins dominance.

It is still too early to draw any conclusions about who the champion is, maybe there can be some other champion today, with other tempers today there are other contenders for victory, for example, wanchain

I think that all the two currencies and the ether and bitcoin will flourish, I am sure that this year will be a good profit. Although the ether is inferior to bitcoin, of course there are disadvantages and advantages everywhere, but I will hope for both.

I believe that Bitcoin will still dominate cryptocurrency market in 2018 although it fell to 33% last year. Sad But king is still king forever.

ETH's time's gonna come, and soon. I've always thought it still hasn't reached it's true all time high yet, and that's what we're gonna look at this 2018. The demand is there, the infrastructure is there, and the tech is working good. It just needs a major push for it to have a record bull run again.

This year, I bet on Ethereum. As I see, this is the platform that interests many guys that are dealing always with the cryptocurrencies. Surely, Bitcoin will also rise a lot but not so great as ETH.

It depends on how Bitcoin will perform.

If BTC falls, Ethereum will also fall.
If BTC rises quick, Ethereum may fall behind.
If there will be a long period of slow growth for BTC, Ethereum may be a better investment.

For marketcap and of course bitcoin is still number # 1, but for a percentage increase I'm sure that ETH is better so I do not hesitate to make ETH more important than bitcoin.
