Actually main question is what we always compare between them. We can support each side for devoloping market because both of them have different skills according to their-selves so we can be at side of both sides.
Thinking positively this both coins are the once who's highly appreciated around the crypto market, what we seen right now will continue so we don't need to compare this two crypto's better to look for more progress and enjoy while investing your money.
I agree on you that we should not compare them because both of them are already the best and they are equal in terms of usage . the only difference is the price because btc is much higher than eth but that wasnt really a big deal at all .
Comparing with BTC is normal in the e-money market, because BTC is like gold and everyone wants to prove that their coin is much better than BTC.
You got a point here . but why they dont compare other e currencies or other payment methods ? Like for example paypal ? I guess because of the popularity that bitcoin got recently . but even if they compare btc to any other e currency or cryptos im general , i think crypto will still remain the crown because of its unique and updated feature .
