Bitcoin: King?Right now, Bitcoin is the King. No doubts about that. Very less people have heard about Cryptocurrency, Altcoins, Blockchain etc. etc., but even my granddad knows about Bitcoin (its a different matter he thinks it is all a scam)
Ether: Queen?Again right now, Ether is the queen. No coin other than BTC can challenge Ether. Main reasons:
- Volume of trade
- The Contracts/DApps system
- Sheer number of ICOs using Ether for payment
The Long TermNo one knows where the things will stay in the long term i.e. 5, 10, 20, 50 years. But for now, at least till the end of 2018, I feel BTC is the king and ETH is the queen.
