Ethereum is the future of crypto, bitcoin is not.

ETH will allow $2T of underground economy to become more structured (and possibly less underground) through DAOs.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/04/23/americas-2-trillion-shadow-economy-is-the-recessions-big-winner/

If it captures 1% of that $2T, it is equivalent to $20B, which would put ETH somewhere around $150. Those who sell for $2 will shit bricks, eat sand and may even commit suicide in the years to come. If it captures 10% of that ETH will be $1500. I know it sounds crazy, but so did the Internet in 1995.

Once it's launched their main focus will be on scalability, which I think is the real reason crypto is not ready for mainstream. Once they can handle 100K TPS (and I'm sure they will), it's game over.

i'm disagree with you, bitcoin is still good choice and and good investment than other altcoins
will ethereum up untill $1500, bitcoin will be up untill $1100

Ethereum has a great potential. One day Ethereum will overtake Bitcoin as the biggest cryptocurrency, and it will be sooner.

[cryptotitan]

theres a reason why BITCOIN is the most valued coin and why Ether is only the second.
Do some research

[deadmousehat]

let's see. ethereum price range $300. I think ethereum should work hard to beat bitcoin.
I'm not taking any side because I'm sure of both have a good potential in the future

Bitcoin is definitely here to stay here for a long time. Not saying its the perfect crypto out there, but I do not see etherium taking over its makket cap anytime soon. There were shouts of the flipping during June July, but look at what actually happened. Eth dropped and bitcoin keeps on surging.

[Marvell1]

As of now bitcoin = crypto market for many common people. BTC hardfork drama influence to the whole market as strong as it could be. BTC dominance rate is around 60%. It's really crazy time but it clearly shows the power of BITCOIN.

I really don’t think that we will see Ethereum overtake Bitcoin, BTC will be preeminent for the next years easy but ETH can certainly close the gap. If ETH overtake BTC, that is still good.

I still hope Etherium boom someday, but now see what happen with bitcoin ? Its going to the moon with bitcoin cash. I dont know but see Etherium now so so when bitcoin is grow up. 
I'm just curious what going happened next week or maybe next year in 2018 

[josephinerosdy]

I hope so but I think $ 300 is the highest price ethereum for now but we don't know what happen in future.
Ethereum it the best of altcoin

I don't know, Ethereum has more advantages than Bitcoin. Besides, Ethereum is a platform to develop tokens for ICO projects. However, Bitcoin gets more trusts from investors than altcoins.

If ethereum community growing more than bitcoin and a lot of merchant accepted ethereum for payment method, sooner or later ETH price can growing rapidly and then maybe can close to bitcoin price

[Mihaluch]

all the good people! Who do you consider the closest competitor Ethereum ?

I think what we are seeing the price increment in BTC this kind of increment we see in ETH next year. my heart is telling that next year the ETH price will cross $1k.

I think it is the Ethereum Classic ETC

Running on the original Ethereum blockchain, some argue that ETC has more integrity because it did not reverse transactions like it's counterpart ETH. Additionally, ETC's tech is similar to ETH but at a much lower cost.

Ethereum and bitcoin are different projects. Bitcoin is a crypto currency that you can use to buy other altcoins. Ethereum is an altcoin with an innovative technology and provides smart contracts and its block chain to generate tokens for new projects.

yet more money lost to complications in the parity wallet.

sometimes simple is better.

bitcoin's job is to be as dumb and dependable as possible, ethereum is the opposite and that's why something simpler and more secure will take it over eventually. it's a prototype and more often than not they wind up discarded.

[Yooshijin]

I am new here. But I do have a little background about Bitcoin and Ethereum. I know how Ethereum has more features than Bitcoin. But logically speaking we know Bitcoin is still the toplist. All coins are just a clone of Bitcoin. They are created after Bitcoin. That is why, even they are far better than Bitcoin. I still hold onto Bitcoin. Bitcoin is still my King.

[cryptochr]

It's highly unlikely that Ethereum will take over Bitcoin, especially with Bitcoins current market value.
If everyone sells and Bitcoin starts to dump, then Ethereum has potential to be as good as Bitcoin.

[altcoinhunter01]

Ethereum is not the future of crypto. However etherum has good future like BTC. BITCOIN is the present and future of the crypto. Ethereum is the 2nd best crypto coin.

[madgtr]

Bitcoin is pretty much dominating the cryptocurrencies, I think the thread title is quite direct, and not valid at this point  

Would like to see Ethereum come up more though.
