AltCoinTrader (Richard de Sousa) talks to Siki Mgabadeli eNCA

11 May 2018 (Television, eNCA, Siki Mgabadeli)

Will Ethereum overtake bitcoin in market cap is the big question... There seems to be some confusion on this topic in particularly around the understanding of market cap. What does market cap mean, well simply put you take the number of coins and multiply it by the price per coin to get the "market cap".

With this in mind bitcoin will have 21 million coins (17 million at the time of writing this) and Ethereum will have 100 million (99 million at the time of writing) so in order for ethereum to overtake bitcoin we can see that the price of a single ethereum coin would have to be much less than the price of a single bitcoin.

At today's rate where bitcoin is R 110 000 odd etherium would need to be get to a price of around R 19 000 per coin to have overtaken bitcoin in market cap.

This is called the flippening...
