Bitcoin is still the mother of all coins. Ethereum is widely used but it doesn't have a good reputation as bitcoin. I use ethereum and I love it for low transaction fees compared to bitcoin but let's just accept the fact that bitcoin cannot be removed in top 1.

I think you overestimate bitcoin. It is popular and it is the main reason why it is #1. It has old technology inside and it has a lot of problems with growing.

Ethereum is working consistently on scalability and they know what to do next. And I don't mention that 90% of the latest projects are based on its Blockchain which means that it has a great potential in terms of future demand in ETH and gas.

So, I believe it is a matter of a couple of years for ethereum to become #1 coin.

But I don't exclude that it could happen that there will appear a new coin that will take major place.

Ethereum is higher risk though. All the things you claim are on the roadmap, but nothing's a guarantee. Also, Ethereum is marred by a black spot of blockchain rollback in its past, so has a higher probability of being pressured by governments to do the same in the future, which is value destructive. Some of the issues with its smart contracts, like the Parity multisig, doesn't instill a lot of confidence.

I like Ethereum a lot, but let's not underplay the risks here.
