Its very possible since eth has a bigger coins in circulation compared to bitcoin. As of now, bitcoin is still the number one in terms of market capitalization. What the Eth had surpassed from bitcoin is the daily trading volume. In coinmarketcap Eth is at $1,581,960,000 volume in 24 hrs while bitcoin is at $1,440,320,000.
I really really hate what BU and Core camps and all those similar have done.
I feel that BTC is more "open" / free than eth, due to the lack of on boarding of the large companies, satoshi being anon, the ETC fork makes me feel that the ETH chain is not as sacrosanct as BTC has been....
perhaps this is nostalgia.....its hard to argue with the send rate, dev rate and number of tokens being issued on ETH.
