We need to decide on how exactly we can see the real leadership in the ripple cryptocurrency market. If we talk about capitalization, then everything is possible, because the cryptocurrency market has already shown its unpredictability. But if we talk about coin prices, the ripple will never be the market leader. TO
If you can create a coin without any cap and has some momentum it can have a much bigger market cap and that is the case with most of the coins in the market, but that does not mean that it will be valued as bitcoin and nothing can be compared to bitcoin even in the long run, if the value of bitcoin goes down the entire market goes down, end of story. 
it won't be possible, and everyone knows that. and for no reason I think people will still agree with us if the ethreum will never replace bitcoin. maybe the ethreum will experience growth, but when all that happens, bitcoin will move faster in front of all crypto.
The price of Ethereum has grown a lot from the initial phase and i really never imagined it will touch $1k in the first place and we have seen exponential growth when it comes to tokens and i do not think it will grow further as it has reached a saturation point in my opinion, the market will rise in accordance with the bitcoin market, but i do not see a separate rally in ETH.
