Ethereum is used more than bitcoin (measured in transactions per day), so that'd make it more likely to be considered the de facto cryptocurrency, no? It'd also make it more "popular" with cryptocurrency users, though definitely not as well known by the layman.

I'd argue the one that sees the largest "value" of transactions per day.
Ethereum is used as a computer, but it can also be a way to transfer value. So I don't agree on using that as a that metric.

It would seem that Bitcoin is more popular amongst those who don't use cryptocurrencies, and Ethereum is more popular amongst those who are. Just a thought.
