I have a small amount of Bitcoin, and have always believed in bitcoin but it is going down daily and it might flip with BCH... no one knows

Would it be a good idea to buy some ETH until the storm clears with Bitcoin and then when we know who is the clear winner, BTC or BCH buy that one back ?

All I can say is you can go sell it and regret it later, you know how bitcoin rolls, it goes deeper and goes back higher than everyone can predict.

I can't answer that for you mate but it's always good to have some ETH :) :)

Yes it is always a good option to have some ethereum on your portfolio, but monero is a best way out from all this shit regarding to bitcoin and bitcoin cash.
It is one of the most stable altcoins, and now it is going very well, all the altcoins are falling, and bitcoin/bitcoin cash are doing the same, but monero is freezed and it is only going up.
I would buy some of it, but unfortunately i dont have enough funds to buy some of them.
I dont know, this whole situation is a little bit strange.

Eth is certainly more stable at the moment, but you run the risk of selling Btc low and having to buy back in at a higher price.

Good choice for now, ETH is a good coin, no doubt about it but buying BCH is not my option.

I would wait for for the mempool to settle a bit before trying to send your coins anywhere.

By the time that happens, you'll probably have a good idea of what you want to do.

It seems to be a better choice, Just know that the bitcoin in the political battle with the bitcoin cash. The more volatility for both of coins. Ethereum will become the best step for you to keep your money safe. Actual this is not a nature movement. The movement depends on the result of the political battle itself.

I've bought the more ethereum to avoid the bitcoin's battle.

The money being made on bch will come back to bitcoin, and we will see new highs again. And in turn a lower eth again.

converted everything to ethereum and litecoin the other day
gonna sit on that till the dust settles

I think we can now see who is winning in the bitcoin versus that altcoin bout. So I think it is better if you will just but both Ethereum and Bitcoin since it will be having a pump after these situation. But I will stick still on bitcoin, ETH might drop when bitcoin pump.

I like Ethereum and I think that it's good to have some as an investment for the future, but I don't understand, you want to sell bitcoin for ethereum? Right now that Bitcoin is so cheap? You might be right, but it sounds like a very bad idea to me.

yes this good idea , good luck

I think sell BTC because BTC still high more than ETH. BTC will raise again more than ETH.
I think ETH more stable than BTC, because of that ETH is low.

I think now it's same etherum or bitcoin,only difference is etherum is little stabile currency now and your loses cannot be big if you converte into etherum.

i think at the moment its time to sell bitcoin if u have some.
i would prefer to buy eth or a other good stable altcoin and when bitcoin is down again get more bitcoins back ;-)...

i have  10% deeponions 60% bitcoin 30% monero but mabe i change it the bitcoins goes to much town

You can choose to invest in ethereum but I disagree to the idea of selling your bitcoin and convert to ethereum investment because I still believe that bitcoin is worth investing rather than any alternative coin though we are now experiencing this crash in bitcoin value I believe after few weeks it will recover and rise even higher than before. We must understand this kind of cycle and don't panic whenever there is a dump

in fact, eth is the most stable digital currency. that's my opinion. if you do not want to lose the nominal bitcoin you have, it would be great to change it into eth. so far, eth prices are always stable at $ 300 more, and eth prices are always like that.

Friend, never think to sell bitcoin you have today. It is worth than any other thing. So don't exchange your whole bitcoin in to etherieum.

If you have doubt with the bitcoin then go sell now your bitcoin and convert it to ethereum but dont regret if bitcoin will bounce back.  Your personality is not fit for bitcoin because if you know the history of bitcoin price its normal. In my opinion, if bitcoin is starting to dump it is time to buy some new bitcoin and HODL.

I mean, but bitcoin isnt the whole of the ecosystem. its healthy to diversify; im all for bitcoin but what if it does dip? being spread out would lessen the hurt (sometimes), and reduce the overall risk. anything you can do to reduce risk in this space, you do it. also, ETH isnt trash; there is ample opportunity for ETH to break out as well (it has a few times, minorly, during all this fork price correction nonsense).

and take advantage of the gifts you are given. the ride up was pretty nice on bch, if you transitioned at the right time you pretty much got the best of both worlds. additional, discounted btc.

Lol don't be greedy because it might cause you to loss so dont panic just believe in bitcoin but if you dont believe in bitcoin go sell your btc in eth :D but for now i'm still holding this bitcoin because i know tht it will bump again soon.

yes you ar right bro . i am also sell my btc for eth , i think any time eth price pump

its a good idea if you want to invest your money to buy ethereum because i think ethereum is another good coins that will be increase higher in future. if you want to buy ethereum, i think this is the good time because the price is at lower price so you can buy some ethereum and then you can hold it while you can waiting for the next waves. but you don't have to buy ethereum with all of your bitcoin because you still need your bitcoin to do another thing like maybe you want to buy other coins beside ethereum.

The rulle is always regret in the back no one can deny it. But choice is choice, wisely to research before making decision will less the regret.

The choose was your, but for me, i won't do that, if you compute your existing Bitcoin and converting it for ETH, i don't know if you still gain profit. just HODL my friend, and in no time you will see Bitcoin will rise.

It is good to have ETH as well as bitcoin because both are the currencies which will have a good future sometime if fall in the one currency can bring the rise in the other currency that’s why we should invest in these both good currencies both are very profitable and market oriented currencies.

That's with you. If you want to earn more money bitcoins have not risen yet. But you do have a big risk because you do not really know whether your money will grow In altcoins you buy. we do not know it might suddenly fall and you get caught up. Just repeat that very first when that happens. So you should be alert.

Ether is not a store of value, Vitalik will tell you that and it's the most dangerous/bloated blockchain there is.

100% agree on this - The cancellation of the fork saw money stream into BCH as the new alternative and away from Bitcoin.  Wasn't it also when BCC forked, volume flowed into BCC initially then trickled back into Bitcoin, the same as what were likely to see here again?

Very risky right now. Do it, it is too volatile an asset to be holding. Come back a bit while further once it has dropped some more than mass buy. But do it before the fork, because that's when the price will go up again.

I have both bitcoin and ethereum, if that's my case, I don't need to sell my BTC for ETH, I just hold my balls until the price will come back. No one can predict that, but I sense it that bitcoin will pump on a month.

I really don't think that cancellation of the fork shifts the mindset of the people to go to BCH since first of all people are keeping an eye for this coin and BCH is been over hype last days that's why it caught the attention of the people who seeks some immediate profit, And look what happen now its experiencing the normal scenario of tradings and get dump on certain circumstances.

I had a hunch BCH will have a bullish run back when it was 300-400, yesterday i sold half and bought eth for its relative stability.

I don't suggest ethereum for bitcoin because i hope bitcoin have great potential in the future but ethereum also good coin to invest but you buy ETH with fiat not with the bitcoins.And i wanna tell you something if you want profit the investment should be in long term if you just convert often from one to another coin you will face only the loses.

I think it would be better if you wait until the price back to normal, and guess what? Now BTC is back at $ 6200! If you are patient, this will be a good time to buy instead of selling.
BCH replace the BTC? That will not happen, just use simple logic then you will find that BTC is still Bitcoin and BCH will never be BTC.
For your information, now BCH is down as much as 45%.

If you can react quickly, you can buy anything you want. ETH could be a good idea, because a lot of people are trying to avoid the risk and want to buy something different from BTC and BCH. ETH is a well known alt, but as soon as the BTC vs. BCH battle finishes, alts will be down again, because people will sell their alts. So just react quickly

I am not sure about this particular moment, the ETH parity bug still hasn't been resolved yet. If it needs a hard fork to solve, this may cause a lot downward pressure on ETH price.

Both coins will definitely give you some gain and both possess the potential to grow. But as for me, i's rather hold on to those btc and wait for its value to increase because probably, bitcoin's value right now may have been the effect of the said upcoming fork in which, i believe, have been cancelled. So better wait for a few days until bitcoin can recover from it because you might regret selling it.

It looks like its poised for a run soon, but then again ETH might just end up staying at 300 forever lol
