Here's what I truthfully suspect and its along the lines of your view. There is going to become an ongoing battle between these two, I bet you that the position for number 1 will shift back and forth a ton over the next year.

Then a healthy side by side competition will rise due to both coins creating a real scarcity and it goes on and on for awhile lol.
