I'm kinda getting sick and tired of people comparing eth and bitcoin when they really have not that much in common and can perfectly exist next to each other. You know eth's got 5 times as much coins as bitcoin, right? So it needs about 20% of bitcoins price to 'beat' bitcoin in terms of marketcap, which says absolutely zero about the intrinsic value of a coin (look at ripple). Also, bitcoin is a currency and a way to store value (like gold), whereas eth is a platform designed for smart contracts and business building.
