A few years ago, “the flippening” was a hot topic - every altcoin bull run brought new headlines claiming ETH (or some other chain-of-the-month) was about to overtake Bitcoin in market cap, utility, or narrative.
Fast forward to today: ETH/BTC pair is in a multi-year downtrend, alt narratives are fading, and Bitcoin dominance is back above 60%. The ecosystem feels quiet. No more hype, no more retail. Altcoins aren’t leading anymore — they’re trailing.
Was the "flippening" idea always a meme born from bull market euphoria? Or is there still a real possibility that some crypto asset could overtake BTC in the long run - either in market cap or relevance?
Only time flippening (eth marketcap going over bitcoin's marketcap) was even close, was in early 2018. And as you see it's now more unlikely then ever. Other altcoins are even lower in MC so good luck with them doing the flippening. Term just lived in hearts of every altcoiner as a legend that might happen, even thought nothing looks further from it happening.Fast forward to today: ETH/BTC pair is in a multi-year downtrend, alt narratives are fading, and Bitcoin dominance is back above 60%.

It's same with all the other mem like terms, they are still used, because some rich OGs used them back in time. And fandom / tribalism in this space is unquestioning their leaders.
