Because ETH is so cheap compared to bitcoin and many people may own more ETH. So they hope in the future ETH over Bitcoin to make more profits for them. But according to my mind, that would never happen because ETH was dying by the ICO and it was totally dependent on the ICO. If the ICO is out of date, ETH will never come back
you are correct that most people who jumped in the cryptocurrency are the owner of the ethereum's because most of them are bounty hunter other than the price of a cheap ethereum, that's another reason. for the problem of etherum in the future, it's hard to be sure if it's going to take a long time.
