Bitcoin and Ethereum are not in competition with each other. They both are needed solutions to very different problems.
Standard to me is doing one thing continuously if the result is satisfying and with open hands for improvement. Wanting to be like someone who is doing well than you when all facts all put together is healthy. Ethereum trying to move from PoW to PoS isn't too bad if projects built upon it remains unchanged but surly the orthodox believers would love to remain with the initial making Split an unavoidable possiblity. If decentralization remain decentralization, opinions must differ and there's a doul interest each solving problems.
