Title: Should I sell all my bitcoin for ETH??
Post by: dabizzard on June 15, 2017, 02:46:12 PM
I think its time to jump ship and trade my bitcoin for eth. With the rate of growth of ethereum and the upcoming split with bitcoin, this can be an great opportunity. What do you guys think?

Please stop the craziness!  >:( Ethereum is the biggest scam coin that we have ever experienced. The Ethereum founders pre-mined and they

have centralized control over the technology. {the biggest threat} They funded their scam with a pre-sale and they kept some coins for

themselves. In the US people tied to this will be quilty of selling unregistered securities. They also hide behind non-profit labels, but they are

making profits from the "tokens" they own and trade.  ::)

yes you should absolutely do that. make sure to do it as fast as possible.

because there will only be 21 million bitcoins and you are holding some part of it which is preventing the rest of us from holding that part.
there is no limit to how many ETH will be though!

All the crypto currencies spiralled downwards, its getting harder to predict the markets, one needs a time machine to do well. If this is a bear trap, it is a nasty one. Looks like this is the future, now that the hedge funds are looking seriously at crypto.

Looking at the situation now,it will be safer to sell btc to altcoin
But if you're in for long run,why dont you save the bitcoin and wait till next year,i think it will be much profitable

Post by: odolvlobo on June 15, 2017, 04:01:25 PM
Yes. If you are in it for just the money, then you should definitely dump all your BTC and buy into the ETH bubble. Bitcoin will do better with fewer speculators.

You decide. Ether can't exist without Bitcoin, but BTC is capable of surviving without ether. Also, I think that right now Ether is in a bubble. The prices have moved too quickly, and too high. The bubble can burst at anytime.

What makes you more confident to store ethereum than bitcoin? Whereas I know bitcoin is the center of digital currency in trading. This is in my opinion

Explain to me ,, so that I can agree with you

Do you want to? If yes then do so, if no then don't. This type of decision is for you alone so that whatever the end result is, the consequences is all on you and you will not blame anybody. You're just gonna get different opinions, I repeat with emphasis, opinions without any proof. So this is all up to you. ETH is great, I guess, but BTC for me is the greatest.

I'm just kidding... Seems many people are selling their Bitcoins now, fearing a crash, but I'm convinced this dump isn't dangerous for BTC currency. Sooner or later the price start increasing again to stabilize. Don't think Bitcoin is dead, don't sell BTCs now, if you can, buy more Bitcoins.

Good read from @WhalePanda. I'm not sure I agree with all of the arguments but the conclusions are full of pragmatic sense. In particular, the conclusion that the sustained success of ICOs depends very much on how responsibly developers handle fundraising and the recommendation to consider directly working with high-net worth crypto investors as an alternative to tokensales.

Post by: ViceOfBTC21 on June 15, 2017, 05:42:39 PM
No. Ether is a bubble that relies on Bitcoin. If Ether ever dies, Bitcoin will survive but not vice versa. Buy even more bitcoins if you want to invest on it. Pretty much I don't invest my money to earn on it. I invest my time. I spent over 100 hours on this forum and so I earned 0.0075 BTC (75 in my currency) due I joined signature campaign only 2 weeks ago.

USDT hasn't been pegged to the dollar since cryptocurrencies started going upwards in value.  I wouldn't trust them with anything.

i have checked on my local exchange that while the price dropped with pretty fast today they starting to sell their bitcoin because they fear will facing more worst situations if they didn't sell it however i still believe in cryptocurrency world bitcoin is the best investment rather than altcoin even some people says there is an altcoin could became the rivalry of bitcoin such as ETH but i would stick to bitcoin only but if you had felt that leave bitcoin and selling all of yours for buy ETH i think it's all pure your decission but if i may to suggest that just stick to bitcoin is more better

Hahaha, yeah Op should sell his limited bitcoin for unlimited ethereum. You may could make more profit through ethereum in the future, because there are a lot of projects based on ethereum blockchain which make its price increase.
Everyone should decide whether it is good or not, but I can say ethereum has significant changes in the last few months and will increase in the next month.

Don't lose hope to btc i know that bitcoin will remain on the top and dominate all altcoins i think if you do that you will make a wrong call maybe selling 1/4 or half but all your btc funds dude because you'll know what bitcoin is capable of and btc already proves it to us how he manage to become one of a high value coins in the market. Just don't sell all, you need to save for the future reference

I think it's better for you to keep your bitcoin, because bitcoin is more powerful than any other cryptocurrencies, after this fall, I assure to you that bitcoin price will return stronger than ever. So waiting is the better option for now than panic and sell all your bitcoins for ETH.

It is not worth to invest in ETH right now,hope you have checked the price of ETH too,they have corrected now and if there is a split in bitcoin then you will be having equal coins for the new chain and so you will be having double the coins,so there is nothing to be panicking with the situation,but then the ultimate decision is yours to make.

weird. it looks to me like the time to jump the ethereum ship was a couple of days ago. now all you're doing is playing with fire. go to dollars and wait instead if you're feeling insecure.

ethereum went up 40x, plus it's the fuel for the ico boom that very soon will be proven to be completely and totally worthless plus probably illegal. does that look like a good bet to you?

But, BTC is in bad condition and could be worse if block split really happen, especially if both chain have strong support from community unless the community stick to one scaling solution or at least one scaling solution could get majority support from bitcoin community

In my view, in these troubled times we should stick mostly to fiat

A few may test waters in some altcoin if they don't want to wait out in fiat (say, US dollar), but as to me, Litecoin is the most promising coin out of the whole shebang. How come? If Bitcoin is set to fail or fuck up miserably (remember, nothing is eternal, apart from temporary, of course), Litecoin will pick up exactly where Bitcoin will stumble. It already has all the features that Bitcoin currently lacks and may never acquire. If it survives and doesn't split, you can safely sell your dollars or litecoins and buy back your precious Bitcoin. In this case, Litecoin seems to a better choice since its price will most likely rise either with Bitcoin or without it (after Bitcoin sinks into oblivion). But if you want to play safe the dollar (or some other major currency) is certainly the best choice now

You get a cookie.

But seriously, don't go full retard folks. Bitcoin might be a little dicey at the moment, but you should never put all your eggs in one basket in the first place. Diversify as much as you can inside this space (multiple coins) as well as outside (traditional assets, specie). Because right now, USDt is looking like a safer investment than any altcoin, LOL. Notice the difference between BTC/Tether and BTC/USD

But ETH is down today. So where you should put bitcoin then? So you see, its a hard decision indeed. But If I'm in your situation, and even though I'm seeing that bitcoin price is currently down, I will stick to bitcoin. I'm still not fully captured by what ETH is offering. Although the price surge from last month to this month, I still somewhat nervous putting money in it. I think I need more study before jumping on this coin. So just stick to bitcoin now and so it it goes up to the end of the year.

Bitcoin will  be around forever, not so sure about Eth.

Most of the ppl in Eth are in it cause they were chasing bitcoin profits after missing out, Buterin and his pals have premined 60% of the coins and if you ask me, it wont be long before we see $25 Eth again and eventually .00001

Lots of folk think Eth is the same as BTC. its not, it has no utility today, it all down the road..

Its not a currency, it may have a future if creators aren't too damn greedy.

Stick with bitcoin, buy em at any price you can and sit on them. 5 years 10 years from now don't be surprised to find that ur coins are 10k - 20k - 100k a piece or more, buy em for your retirement, stay away from the trading traps trying to out guess professional traders that have only one purpose in life, and that's to make money from noobs. Don't be a noob!!

Here's a great article from cointelegraph that might help clarify the difference between the two coins.

Sell all of bitcoins for ethereum is bad, it is risky lost money in ethereum, however ethereum is an altcoin.
We don't know it will be survive in the future, because of ethereum has smart contract will be better than bitcoins,
there is out there that gives smart contract service with more fair than ethereum. Ethereum will be replaced​ by ethereum classic.

i think it is still not a good time to sell bitcoin for etherium. i think in present condition it will really be a good decision if you hold you bitcoin for a good time. because there are still more chances that the price of bitcoin will increase more. but you just need to hold bitcoin patiently and not to sell it or invest it anywhere else. but still if you have some extra money and still welling to invest in Etherium so investment in etherium is  not a bad idea.

No, don't do that. If you look at ethereum fees you will notice that fees will grow as the value of ether grows.
High value = high fees, no matter what crypto - so if every crypto reach high price it will have the same problem as bitcoin has.

Title: Re: Should I sell all my bitcoin for ETH??
Post by: hardtime on June 15, 2017, 11:48:29 PM
I wouldn't do it for a couple reasons, first I think that the people who created ETH are only simply using it to be able to make a ton of money off of it. With the price increases from more and more people 'believing in the tech' people are just going to dump the price at some point. This dump is going to come soon when people notice that the coin is simply a trade coin and nothing else, that's all that this coin is doing for people. Bitcoin at least, even with its faults, is still being used a currency and not like gold (WHICH ETH IS PRETTY MUCH RIGHT NOW)

So no, I wouldn't do it in the least.

I somewhat read this kind of thread in economics discussion.
Well your totally insane if you trade your bitcoin to ether, bitcoin is bitcoin! wth!
Even though nowadays ether has 70% market cap but it's so unjust to switch it.
You'll just regret it though. But the decision is still yours so goodluck.  :P

Post by: tristan1960 on July 03, 2017, 07:32:45 PM
That's a hard decision to take nowadays because the market is really very active with high pumps and dumps. For instance bitcoin decreased to $2000 and then jumped up to $2400 in a short time. If you will do this kind of trade, you better stay away. Ethereum is also undergoing huge price movements.

Don't do that. Bitcoin should the bulk every serious portfolio. ETH is a solid option, so I would suggest you to open some position anyway.
90% BTC and 10% ETH seems a good deal to me.

Post by: peter0425 on July 03, 2017, 09:51:25 PM
I think the OP has already sold to ETH. Unfortunately, ETH has been in a roller coaster ride after 400$ ATH has been reached. Very bad decision if he has sold already. He will be trap if he want to get out, expect your losses on your end. I think ETH has already reached its peak and now are slowly crumbling. The hype has already died down. And only ICO's are just keeping it above the 200$ price range.

Centralized and pre-mined or not Ethereum has a lot of uses in the real world but choosing it over bitcoin? No way. But if you really want to sell it you can sell it to me ^_^

If you want to bet on a platform, you have plenty of choices today!! Why ETH?!?
From stratis (business oriented), to WAVES (seems to be the new thing), or even more speculatively ARK or ADRD...

Lots of candidat s to replace the flawed ETH, which proved it could not scale, and whose initial design scheme is a bit sketchy...

Yeah right, better not to sell all bitcoin for ETH. Choosing both as you say 90% BTC and 10% ETH (or whatever) are good choices, it's because both are very good and can make a profit. Even if the bitcoin price drops does not mean selling all the bitcoins, if the OP does that I'm sure it's not the best choice.
