Yes I believe that ethereum will be popular and reach the peak but if to go beyond bitcoin I do not believe because the price of ethereum is far below the price of bitcoin guys.
currently it's impossible for Ethereum to surpass Bitcoin's market cap but Ethereum already beaten Bitcoin's features like cheaper transaction fee, faster in terms of transaction speed, more scalable and a lot more.
If people do support ethereum more than Bitcoin then it's not Impossible to surpass Bitcoin's market cap in just a minimum of time.
In my personal reference, I prefer investing Ethereum than Bitcoin beucase it's cheaper and we can but almost every altcoin in the crypto market today.
