The gorilla is strong but needs bananas to survive. The banana is weak, but can survive without gorillas.
Likewise the stock market (alt coins) needs money as a measure of capitalization, where money doesn't need the stock market. The question is which will be the reserve currency/gold. So far it was BTC. Even if ETH gets bigger than BTC, it may be temporary, because ETH is measured by it's strength, but BTC is simple enough to be just store of value like gold.
Coins on top of ETH are like the derivatives market, orders of magnitudes bigger than gold, but also a ticking time bomb, and still no money.
