we and the op already know this thats why he was asking if its possible for eth to overtake the btc in terms of marketcap and just because btc has a better market cap does that mean it wasnt comparable to others anymore ? no but btc is still comparable as long as what you are comparaing is also a high end coin like eth . i just check the marketcap of both coins and i see that btc still take the lead with a marketcap of over a billion while eth was behind with under a billion marketcap .
