People have always been looking for a Bitcoin-killer altcoin, an altcoin with improved features, whose value would increase to outperform Bitcoin. I am one of the many who think that Ether will surpass Bitcoin in marketcap this year, now in terms of reaching it in value with respect to the dollar I see it quite difficult but not impossible, in fact there are currently too many projects that are based on Ethereum technology and that gives him value. Now we will have to see how BTC solves its scalability problem, which honestly has it very behind with respect to Ether.
