Well ethereum, in terms of popularity, is believed to be next to bitcoin in every exchanger. Not because of its market value but to its popularity and community of users. There are many coins in this market having highet market value compared to ethereum but how I wonder why it is still considered to be next to the best.
I've been here in this industry for years already but to every projects that I engaged myself, more often, ethereum is related to their projects such as the mode of investing into those projects are based on the price of Ethereum. Also, the moment wherein Bitcoin reached its ATH, Ethereum is always next to its name. There are even comparisons abd speculations how would Ethereum get pass to Bitcoin but that's another story.
