The strongest will win

[Denishayes89]

What do you think, which cryptocurrency can be considered a direct competitor to BTC and ETH, why?

[GreyWyvern]

Competitors to BTC will almost certainly be those based off the original Bitcoin code. I think the strongest contenders right now are Litecoin, Monero and ZCash. But honestly, anything could change overnight.

The biggest direct competitor to Etherium is oddly Etherium Classic. I really wonder how that will all play out.

Don't forget Ripple, which is a different kind of token altogether, but one not really targeted at consumer-level transactions.

Litecoin is one of the older alternative digital currencies out there, having emerged in 2011. Like bitcoin, there is no central authority, new coins are created through solving algorithms, and over time these algorithms are becoming more difficult to solve.

There are many important differences, however. Litecoin’s overall cap limit is set at 84 million, compared to bitcoin’s 21 million. The algorithms themselves are much easier to solve and can still be solved without special mining equipment. Further, litecoin blocks are created every 2.5 minutes, compared to bitcoin’s 10 minutes, making it possible to support far more transactions.

Currently, Litecoin is the world’s fourth largest digital currency, by market cap, weighing in at about $175 million.

To Bitcoin, right now it's Litecoin with Monero potentially being 3rd. The only reason I mention Monero though is because they a feature that makes their blockchain and technology truly anonymous. I suppose Dash should fit in there but I don't know enough about them.

Currently there is no competitor to Ethereum. There's no other company offering a template blockchain platform upon which organizations, start ups, governments, corporations, etc., can launch their blockchain-based project.

I`d also bet on litecoin as the biggest one. And also we need to find so-called spheres of interest and know where is used one or another. In that way we will see the difference

Really!

Panharith just repeated what I said and included a spammy link. Probably a bot.

Like the others, I'd also say Litecoin and Monero(XMR). There are alot of quite new altcoins that definitely has the potential, but there is currently no assurance that they will be good competitors or just hyped up altcoins.
