For now I don't see what crypto can beat ETH in what position where they at now because ETH is the second known crypto in this industries that's why they build a good image and credibility.
Ethereum has had no competition for the time being and there will certainly be no coins that can take that place. In the past, there have been many articles comparing this coin with coins such as EOS, NEO, BNB, but all are just analysis.
As can be seen, Ethereum is gaining more and more people trust and this coin will always be the most powerful altcoin in the crypto market.
we dont know what the future in crypto will look like. we cant say no one can surpass what is popular today like eth. remember friendster before it becomes obsolete today. and now the new gen is enjoying facebook. i wonder when will fb become obsolete?
so new alts have the chance to exceed the eth market, but it would take a lot of effort, applications, customers, and years of existence before one can truly overpower its popularity. and right now, we are not seeing anyone that can be a candidate for their position.
