So the value of a bitcoin is the agreed value of a distributed ledger?

Is ether just another currency like bitcoin? Can ethereum work without bitcoin?

Looks like ether skyrocketed over the last couple of months, what happened?

How do these cryptocurrencies jump from their current obscurity to more mainstream adoption? Do they need to? Is there a specific niche they were made to fill alongside existing currencies?
