A Messari analyst specialized in Crypto Assets Investment Research has predicted the toppling of Bitcoin by Ethereum sooner rather than later especially with the launching of Ethereum’s ETH 2.0 upgrade.
Ryan Watkins, in a virtual interview with Fintech Today – a YouTube channel focusing on the Fintech Industry – mentioned he believes Ethereum would soon supplant Bitcoin, assuming the position of the top cryptocurrency upon the ETH 2.0 upgrade.
Watkins who is a Senior Research Analyst at Messari—an online database for Cryptoassets aiming to promote more transparency in digital assets for the general public—also acknowledged the strengths of the firstborn Crypto, noting, “Bitcoin’s selling point over Ethereum as a store of value assets comes down to its very predictable monetary policy and the highly secure Bitcoin blockchain”.
