Ethereum, being the world's second largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has all the potential of replacing Bitcoin in the future. It's more than just a cryptocurrency, being a platform for the development and execution of smart contracts (aka dApps). With ETH, it's possible to launch alternative cryptocurrencies without the need to start a Blockchain from scratch. It's also possible to use the ETH blockchain for other purposes such as voting, proof of identity, verification of documents, and more. In contrast, Bitcoin's only use is for finance where it cannot be implemented in other areas by its own.
Given all of the benefits Ethereum provides on top of Bitcoin, it makes me wonder whenever it'll be able to replace the pioneer cryptocurrency within the future? As long as, Ethereum keeps progressing in development and mainstream acceptance, it'll be much closer to Bitcoin every step of the way. What are your thoughts?

Ethereum and bitcoin are presently on the high value, the rule closely in among all other Cryptocurrency, though the usage effeciency of ethereum tends to be more than the bitcoin. Ethereum makes a vital blochchain, and doesn't really act at bitcoin in circulation as bitcoin. Bitcoin is more of the direct currency available for usage.ethereum can easily birth more currency. I feel it is better ethereum remain the bedrock of the currency, and make a platform for bitcoin than taking over from bitcoin.
