But BTC is only dominant in market cap, ETH is the most widely used blockchain. Sidechains on BTC have been a topic of discussion for awhile now, and frankly none have gotten a huge amount of traction. At some point the network effects that ETH has are too big to ignore.

But whether the most used blockchain should be the highest in market cap is a totally different discussion. It's possible ETH goes mainstream, but BTC is still valued higher as "digital gold." I have no idea what will be the outcome.
