It seems to me that Ethereum has every chance of becoming the number 1 cryptocurrency in the world. Great prospects and opportunities. If you believe the news, Bitcoin will sooner or later begin to lose value. Here Ethereum will take its place to the delight of its fans. You just have to wait
I don't think that will happen. After all, Bitcoin is the father of Blockchain technology. It has first mover advantage on the market. When you compare both BTC and ETH's market caps, you'll notice that there's a large difference between them. Ethereum may be good, but it's not as good as Bitcoin is. The pioneer cryptocurrency (BTC) is unbeatable when it comes to decentralization and censorship-resistance. It's the golden standard of crypto. Because of these and many other reasons, Ethereum will only remain as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap for the foreseeable future.
Nonetheless, crypto behaves in many strange and bizarre ways. Who knows what will happen in a few years from now? I've seen cryptocurrencies rise all the way from the ground to the top in an instant. At the same time, I've seen cryptocurrencies go all the way from the top to the ground in a short amount of time. Everything will depend on demand/mainstream adoption above anything else. Right now, Ethereum is capable of doing what Bitcoin does and much more. Technically-speaking, ETH is superior than BTC. But it lacks the branding Bitcoin has, leading it towards non-stop success. By all means, the odds of Ethereum overpowering Bitcoin are very slim. Just my thoughts
