Etheruem definitely has a bright future ahead bit i don’t think it will beat bitcoin this year. People are still hesitant in investing in eth and erc20 coins but once the good ones start pullig off great projects, investments should start pouring in.
Eth is a good coin but it will never be able to reach the bitcoin level. These coins will always go in parallel. We hear a lot of blame towards bitcoin but it still determines the behavior of all cryptocurrencies. Probably always will be. Bitcoin will remain the main battery of funds. Altcoins will temporarily use this money and again return them for storage in bitcoin.
