It is now a lot of eth enthusiasts but if to compete with bitcoin is hard.
Because there is still a lot of interest bitcoin than eth.
So if eth rival the bitcoin it is very difficult and the time is likely long to compete.
Yeah im looking it on the other side of it.. more investors on bitcoin than ETH ..
If we base on the rivalry of the two, bitcoin is always the number one in terms of popularity and demands. Though ETH has increasing value and transactions this year but it could not replace btc. As many investors are still interested in btc compared to ETH. But, ETH has the potential to replace btc whenever it disappears.
