Seeing ETH at 2.5k already is amazing, and I completely agree with you, ETH is a lot more value in the chain itself!

This does not mean it will be more valuable: A Ferrari is not necessarily better than a Tesla, nor more complex or advanced, but it's still worth more on a 1-to-1 comparison.

So, in the end, it's hard to predict the impacts of scarcity and social spread on something's price.

That said, because this is technology, I hope people see the amount of things you can do in ETH is just enormous, compared to BTC's network. ETH to the moon!
