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.
But this trading volume keep on changing and ETH may not hold this position much longer, all this volume is coming because of huge pump we have right now on ETH. And like I have said above, bitcoin 24 hour trading volume have already surpassed that of ETH.
ps imagine if goverment wants to take over it will be enough to just grip Vitalik balls
You made my day LOL
