Even though this is like you said at the moment, ETH should not be so tight in comparison with BTC if you ask me. ETH has a totally different platform with many cool tools which BTC could not provide. It was the first serious platform with programmable tokens, multi-sig is great as well. On the other hand, as the market is not very big and ETH does not have the biggest influence out there, it is okay to have some kind of currency that can be like an older brother to it. ETH will have to grow up and live by itself eventually, but this will take some time at first  Smiley.

There is no doubt about that. If there is an altcoin that can give bitcoin a better competition then Ethereum is the closest. Even though I doubt if it will ever catch up with bitcoin but if an altcoin stands that chance then I will point at ETH.

In terms of market cap, Ethereum is no round the next after BTC.
I don't think it would surpass bitcoin at any point.
There is still large gap between them.
They also have different use cases, Ethereum has more applications.

By looking at the market cap of all coins, seems like Ethereum is next to Bitcoin. But in an OVER-ALL ASPECT among all Altcoins, is Ethereum the closest thing that can be compared to Bitcoin? What do you think?
I think that bitcoin and etherum work like gold and fiat, bitcoin has a high value and worth holding to make profit similar to gold and ethereum has many practical uses like fiat, the development that has been made in the ethereum and tthe number of interesting projects that it supports proves that ethereum is probably the best cryptocurrency to invest in after the bitcoin, because I think that ethereum might become the currency of tomorrow.

These are two completely different crypto-currencies, this is just like comparing the dollar and the Japanese JPY, the essence is one, and the result is different.

The blockchain is working for more than 3 years averaging 700K daily transactions... Plus several new coins are using a ERC20 token on the ethereum network

Yes, ethereum has got the potential to have a comparison with bitcoin. When I came to know about ethereum it was around $6 and in small time period it has reached a much higher value. Similar to the ethereum is the bitcoin which grew from the low bottom to a much increased value. Now both altogether contribute to the majority of the marketcap of the entire cryptocurrency network.

Ethereum is a very good coin with some great features. After bitcoin, if you want to mention another coin's name then most of the answer will be the Ethereum. So, It is the second coin of the cryptocurrency platform. If bitcoin is the king of the crypto market then Ethereum is the Queen in these terms. But sorry, you can't compare ETH to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the uncomparable coin. No any other coins can't replace the bitcoin.

Nope, we can't compare these two network. Both of them have own idea and functions, Ethereum is more platform for ICOs and innovative projects, but Bitcoin is the store of value.

It is not, closest to bitcoin is litecoin, ethereum isn't coin at all it is platform. Many newbies here can't see big difference between ethereum and bitcoin, while idea behind bitcoin is payment method to avoid banking system, idea behind ethereum is smart contract, without ICO's ethereum will die.

Ether is a very good coin but the creators of ethereum doesn't create ethereum to compete or to be compared with bitcoin, they build ethereum for smart contract, so the both coins serves their individual needs.

For me, yes it is. In my own perspective, ethereum is the 2nd most valuable coin that is next to bitcoin. As we can see ethereum also had the capabilities to multiply your money.
