After we have finally witnessed over 2000 dollars, which was the level that we have never seen before in ETH ever, not in 2017 peak times not last year, not anytime. We are talking about nearly 15x increase in the past 1 year, that is really not normal when you consider that ethereum was second highest coin and we have managed to actually make a 15x increase in the second biggest one. Why is it more shocking when it is second highest coin?

Because in order to be the second biggest coin you need to actually have some sort of huge price anyway, and if you are already super high and second that means it should be a lot harder for you to increase as well, and when you are that big and still go 15x that is normally unheard of specially when we are talking about 200+ billion dollars market cap. If ETH goes up another 5x that would mean it would break over bitcoin as well, not that I think it will happen but even being this close means a lot.
