I believe that Ethereum will replace Bitcoin soon as the leader of he market. It is simply better, Bitcoin has lost a lot position in terms of market dominance and will still lose in face of Ethereum, especially when the news of the last Metropolis phase will come up. With or without Lightning Network, Bitcoin still can't scale or even compare with coins like Ether. But I still like more Steem as it is right now with DPoS and no fees, even Better than Ether too, at least IMHO :D
