I don't think so that Ethereum beat bitcoin. Although Ethereum is a good cryptocurrency and also use for many things like bitcoin, but in comparison to bitcoin it has lot of demerits and disadvantage. Bitcoin is accepted in many country in comparison to Ethereum. And bitcoin price is also higher then that of Ethereum and because of this high price of bitcoin many people first choice is bitcoin for investment and for other purposes. Bitcoin is also use for various market shopping sites and many companies use bitcoin in comparison to Ethereum. These reasons show that bitcoin is better then that of Ethereum.
