Conclusion first: I think it will
Bitcoin has been reducing its output. What will happen when there is nothing left to mine? Miners continue to quit, computing power decreases, and security becomes weaker. POS is the only way out, but the nature of Bitcoin makes it impossible to make a corresponding hard fork. If a hard fork is made, it will inevitably be a new currency that will not be People recognize it.
After Ethereum was transferred to POS, it has now entered substantial deflation. After 15 years, the innovations in the currency circle will basically be in Ethereum, second layer, and sharding. Ethereum is gradually showing its dominance. The second-tier transfer fee is even lower than that of the dpos public chain.
If the United States issues cross-chain CBDC in the future, digital dollars will circulate globally, cross-screen payments will be extremely convenient and cheap, and blockchain applications will also usher in a big explosion.
I personally think that Bitcoin is recognized for three reasons: 1. It is the ancestor of digital currency; 2. It has the highest market value; 3. It has the highest price per coin.
Ethereum will go through two stages: market value surpassing Bitcoin, and single coin value surpassing Bitcoin, and then it will be far ahead. Of course, this is based on the success of all future upgrades of Ethereum.
Finally, there is still a possibility that Ethereum will return to zero.
