If you’re only realizing now that Bitcoin is the boss, then you’ve been misled in the past.
Bitcoin and Ethereum should never be compared as Bitcoin will always be the original.
Think about it, Bitcoin dominates the entire altcoin market, and Ethereum is just one of those altcoins.
if we are thinking of bitcoin and Ethereum comparison, here's some data.
initial price Current price increase (%)
Bitcoin - $ 0.08 (estimate) $100,000 1,250,000
Ether - $ 0.75 $2,793 3,724
I think you left out some zeroes from that:
1,250,000 percentage increase from 0.08 increase to 100,000 gives you around 1000. for hundred thousand it's 125,000,000%
With eth that's 372,300%. So they are actually literally 100x more impressive numbers.
Still, both are impressive. And because bitcoin has existed longer, naturally it has more trust under it and more backers.
