Bitcoin will always remain Bitcoin: the first, the original, the best. Ethereum will remain Ethereum, it will never replace Bitcoin.

yes you right ethereum cannot take palce from bitcoin. Because bitcaoin have more value than ethrium and bitcoin are adopt by many countries as a trancastion that i thing bitcoin is already number one currencey

yes of course we all know that ethereum cannot replace bitcoin in future because tbitcoin value is very much high and also the price of bitcoin is very much high and ethereum price is very much less than bitcoin and also the adoption of bitcoin is very much high and if the bitcoin get more progress and countries adopt it then it will the number one currency for long time.

And yes ethereum is coming very strong against bitcoin but did you see ethereum network last 2 days. You probably saw. It' at least as slow as bitcoin's network. This is not a good indication for ether's future.

Ethereum's network isn't even backlogged for the same reason. BTC is because a block size cap was put in by early miners, Ethereum is just a failure. I'm honestly kind of worried about blockchain tech because of this. Someone needs to run a blockchain and run tens of thousands of transaction per second to show the technology can scale.

Ethereum is just a hype because of its lucky feature which is smart contracts so if there is a good project that has a good promises then the investors will buy and consume a lot of ethereum that will make its price high so if you want to earn some decent short term profits then ethereum is a good investment but for long term i doubt that ethereum will survive because bitcoin will still be the king.

Do you really think that a turing complete platform is just a "lucky feature" that made smart contracts possible? Do you also believe that a $31.5 billion dollar marketcap can be attributed to chance? There is major development taking place within the Ethereum network that is unparalleled by any other platform....Decentralized applications are NOT just a "lucky feature" associated with the Ethereum platform. These D'Apps----> https://dapps.ethercasts.com/ <----are not "luck." They represent real development and innovation.

But what you are not mentioning is the fact that turing completeness is what will be the final demise of the Ethereum platform. It is only a matter of time that a big exploit is found in the Ethereum platform thanks to turing completeness that results in fatal death of the entire project. Bitcoin on the other hand, thanks to the more simple approach, it's safe against these kind of exploits. Ethereum as a store of value is nonsense, that is why it will never replace Bitcoin.

I failed to mention the "fact that turing completeness is what will be the final demise of the Ethereum platform" because it is not actually a fact. It is an imaginary scenario that has no basis in fact whatsoever. However, you are right about Ethereum not being intended as vehicle to store value....it's a whole different technology all together. What's built upon the Ethereum network is what provides its value. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is used as means to store value and that value is subject to the whims of those who decide what its value should be....as long as people have confidence in its utility, it will maintain its value. But, when you start witnessing a stronger demand for the more utilitarian technologies, then you can bet that the value of bitcoin will be tested.
