If that is the case as you said ETH should have taken over now.
but the fact is btc is still strong in the lead, we will never know the extent of development that will occur in altcoins, but still the one who will be at the top is btc.

There will never be more trust in Ethereum than in Bitcoin. This is primarily due to the fact that Ethereum is not a fully decentralized coin. It is good to earn money on ether and its tokens, but it is more reliable to store money in bitcoins. And the fact that bitcoin has the largest capitalization in the crypto market confirms my words.

use Is it safer to store in BTC? Tell this to those who are still waiting for the legendary "flight to the moon" with coins in cold storage when ETH is steadily going up and is not going to stop.
ETH is better than BTC in everything from usability to the fact that it is not as super - stable as BTC.
Again, why do you need cryptocurrency? If you just want to get more dollars, then you should have something to trade without any difference at all. If you still believe in a great crypto future where you can order a taxi and buy coffee with tokens then in this case ETH looks much better because it is much easier to scale and much faster than BTC.
If BTC is a wheel when ETH is already a space Elevator.

I need cryptocurrency as an alternative to paper money. I want to own my own funds. Bitcoin helps me with this. Vitalik won't come to me and say, we decided to launch a new network - migrate there, friend. I bought coins and they are in my wallet and I will not sell them until I retire. This is my additional retirement savings.

And what is the difference between Apple/Amazon conditional shares and cryptocurrency then? Both means of investment can collapse for one reason or another - only in the first case, the chance of death of such companies is very small. At the same time, no one can even imagine what will happen to cryptocurrency in the future.
We may have the future where even in a vegetable shop on your street you can pay with some DogeCoin, not to mention BTC/ETH/etc.
Or it may be that all countries (read - world leaders) will decide that cryptocurrency as such is a threat to national/world security and will start a full-scale war against them. Will close all exchanges, etc. And then what? I still think it is not good idea to use crypto as very long term investment at the moment, because they still does not have the legal status
