it's hard to even say ETH is "competing" with bitcoin on equal footing, it would be the same as saying USA and a developing country are in the same conditions and economical condition, which is false.
ETH is growing, I can't deny that, but I don't think it's even close to even over-taking bitcoin, it's still impacted like this with bitcoin SegWit, I think this shows how much it is just an off-shoot of bitcoin, and still completely dependent on bitcoin price.
