Why some people want the Ethereum to over come Bitcoin in the near future? Is it because they make profit from ETH or what?
I think many people are interested in ETH because ETH is widely used as a smart contract in most ICOs on some projects, it is not impossible that ETH will continue to have skyrocketing prices such as bitcoin
Actually, I think that Eth has a big chance of exceeding Bitcoin in the future. Bitcoin is only used a payment method which isn't really doing that great right now.
I do not think that the Ethereum is capable of this, it has no restrictions on the number of coins mined, as Bitcoin has. And if the demand is limited, then the price will grow more. Bitcoin is more popular than Ethereum.
