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 think bitcoin will still be a leader at the end of this year, still hard for Ethereum if want to replace Bitcoin position. but doesn't mean Ethereum is not good, Ethereum is good also, as you say above a lot of tokens use Ethereum platform for smart contracts and Ethereum always be a bitcoin competitor in recent years. but yes, however, Bitcoin still be a number one at least for the next few years.
