Just wondering if ETH can
In my perception regarding to Bitcoin it is a digital currency or called a currency that's the reason why some bitcoin experts said that Bitcoin is possible to become a world currency, while Ethereum was a platform where you can create smart contract thru new token that will use its platform. So I don't think Eth can surpass the value of Bitcoin, it can be next into bitcoin.
This is one nice condition for Eth to be the future Bitcoin like king if Bitcoin ended. But this is not realistic and is rather an unrealistic assumption. The life span of the technology is always determined by the advancement that appears as the time passes. Constant up gradation in the features is more than important.
However the truth right now is that ETH is down and we might need some good time to get it recovered. And I do not think it is justice to compare it with a coin that has been accepted around the world with huge demand and great market cap.
