“My hunch is BTC is a perfect collateral layer but ETH might be bigger in market cap terms in 10 years for the reasons above. Money and collateral is just the base layer. Everything builds on top. The store of value is collateral, the trust layer and exchange of value is bigger.”
What collateral might are those mate?for Ethereum to become more valuable in terms of collateral than Bitcoin?
No it's not that simple and there are many stages to consider before this happens.
Specially looking at the market cap in which Bitcoin literally dominating at very Huge difference from ETH and any other currencies in existence .
Anything can happen in 10 years, its a very long timeframe to talk about things. Will eth replace btc? what if eth get replaced by other cryptocurrency before 10 years? someone had suggested earlier that dot could be eth replacement. so really, there is no way to know the future. It depends on many things that can happen in cryptocurrency.
I will consider this to have possibilities once ETH get even close to Half of Capital than Bitcoin now,so there might be sign of this to come,but until now to be shown?i will take this as wild speculation.
