If you’re only realizing now that Bitcoin is the boss, then you’ve been misled in the past.
Some people misled people that ethereum one day will increase above bitcoin in marketcap. But they forgot that there are ethereum competitors. As usual, people will leave the old altcoins and move to new altcoins. That is what that happened to ethereum. Ethereum still tried as it did not get really dumped but it is not a store of value just like the other coins.
Ethereum's competition is only within the altcoin market, and recently, there’s been news about potential issues that could affect Ethereum.
Because of these risks, there’s a chance that Ethereum might not be able to hold onto its #1 spot among altcoins in the future.
