"Bitcoin retains its essence because it will always be what it was designed to be: an immutable, decentralized protocol, resistant to the influence of individuals or groups seeking personal gain. Ethereum, on the other hand, remains in a development phase, subject to significant changes determined by its creators, making it more susceptible to centralized adjustments. Given this scenario, it is unlikely that ETH will surpass BTC’s market capitalization within the next year—unless it were the current one—while Bitcoin, in the same period, has the potential to be worth up to 25 times more than it is today."
