Bitcoin has led the cryptocurrency revolution for nearly a decade. In the process, it has become the most recognizable name in the new world of digital currencies, and for many years it dominated the industry by maintain a position of 80% or more of the total cryptocurrency market cap. In the past few months, Bitcoin has also skyrocketed in price, practically tripling in value since the beginning of the year. And yet, in spite of these indicators of its dominant status, there is reason to believe that one of Bitcoin's competitors, a much newer cryptocurrency called Ethereum, is on pace to overtake the iconic digital currency in at least one respect: market capitalization.

Here is the ethereum growth on the Cryptocurrency Market Cap:

Analysts have developed a term to categorize a time at which Ethereum overtakes Bitcoin in terms of market capitalization, as some cryptocurrency followers have expected to happen. "The Flippening" refers to this shift in dominance in the field and, some say, may indicate a permanent shift in which Bitcoin steps out of the spotlight in the cryptocurrency world.

The Flippening could occur for a number of reasons. Bitcoin has long been the most dominant cryptocurrency, but it also suffers from significant problems of scaling which have threatened to dismantle the entire cryptocurrency system. Ethereum, on the other hand, having been developed much more recently, may have been able to anticipate some of the issues that Bitcoin's creators did not when they first programmed the code a decade ago. In doing so, Ethereum, could find itself in a better position for long-term growth than Bitcoin.
