Bitcoin is now gradually losing its popularity and its former dominance in the crypto currency market. One of the most promising for the role of the leader of the crypto currency is ethereum. However, for the time being ethereum, like the entire crypto currency, is under the influence of bitcoin and therefore it is unlikely that something will change in this respect. Ethereum will grow in price only when bitcoin does the same. Therefore, in the near future ethereum will not be able to overtake bitcoin, this is still unrealistic.
