I thought this discussion already come to an end long ago, why is it still up here when it is very obvious that Ethereum can never be above bitcoin in anything; adoption, market cap, use cases. This can continue to go on for a decade from now but I haven’t seen any potential still that will make Ethereum surpass bitcoin yet. You should look more into the bull and bear market, you’ll find a lot of answers to your questions and you don’t need to bring any proof to back up anything you’re saying here. It is fact already that bitcoin is the top cryptocurrency and no coin can ever surpass it in anything as far as we know.
People still believe that eth will pass bitcoin. The majority of these questions are deliberate, and I don't believe they require answers because it is clear that it will take something miraculous for eth to pass bitcoin, but people refuse to accept it. This is also clear in terms of price; look at the price difference eth is not even a quarter of the price of bitcoin, as we can all see. People still want to dispute. And even years to come nothing will happen and bitcoin is able to withstand more heat from the market than eth just that eth can also survive but bitcoin will determine the faith of so many coins.
The idea comes from bitcoin and their is a lot of value in it and if anything should happen to bitcoin then the entire crypto world will be destroyed am certain of that, bitcoin is what gives people trust to invest in other alternative coins so without bitcoin, no coin will survive so and that is bitcoin is given a lot of respect because they know what is controlling it.
