FYI - Ethers are as different from bitcoins as oil is from gold. Ethereum platform is as different from the bitcoin platform as banking is from law. OP is stupid.
But. If bitcoin doesn't get it's political & scaling shit together it will eventually be overtaken.
"Bitcoin is supreme because it's been around for six years. Your shitcoin will never replace it - bitcoin is better."
"Why is it better?"
"Because it will always be the leader since it's always been the leader."
Bitcoin maximalists as a general rule give arguements that're as sound as the OP.
Definitely yes. Bitcoin is the heart and king of cryptocurrency, so its not good that one altcoin will compare to it. Ethereum is just depending on the price of bitcoin so they could not yet stand alone. Aside from that, the platform that ethereum has was different to the platform that BTC have. And even if the ethereum has a potential in digital world it couldn't surpass bitcoin.
