According to some crypto experts, the price of Ethereum is predicted to increase significantly this year. And because Ethereum is not just a currency but a platform, it seems inevitable that it will eventually overtake Bitcoin in value, but i don't think it will happen this year.
When Bitcoin’s value reached its highest point [$19,498.63] in December 2017, it made the public interested and everyone, as in everyone in the community went crazy and this coin become viewed as a store of value. True enough, Bitcoin was one of and STILL the most talked about things in the media.
Although Ethereum's backers sees Ethereum as a surer long-term bet than Bitcoin due to its platform capabilities, this crypto does not get as much headline-time in the mainstream press so predictions of its value are less than that of Bitcoin.
We're all aware of the fact that media attention or hype contributes a lot in the price increase [or drop] of a certain crypto.
