Many people out there don´t believe that Ethereum can be a long term hodling, they simply use it participate in ICOs, sell and buy bitcoin again with the profit. Do you think that may change this year and ethereum can be seen as the choice to hodl?

Hodl? Maybe, it has it own advantages but as a means of payment it is way, way worse than bitcoin.
Adoption for it is obviously much lesser than that of btc, that's from my own experience. I don't use it, never planed to.
Hell, you cant even make multiple recipient transaction out of the box, that's a big issue. Let's be honest, its not a coin, it is a token.
I would be extremely surprised if one day its value surpasses Satoshis wonder. I don't believe it it possible but who knows?
If you are wondering what to buy as a long term investment, my recommendation is to go with bitcoins, tokens are a temporary gizmo, people will stop buying them at some point and than etereum will loose all its advantages, along with value.

no it won't change because ETH is not designed that way.

it is a token that should only be used to fuel the smart contracts not even as an investment let alone be anything like bitcoin which is a currency.

and in the end no matter what, ETH still has an unlimited supply with a huge amount of it already in circulation which is always dumping it downwards in the long run.

if your intent is to invest long-term, obviously bitcoin be the best choice. ETH is only temporary, and if you last longer then the value will decrease and will not be profitable anymore. so it is unlikely that ETH will compete with BTC, because BTC is still a symbol in cryptocurrency.

I think ETH is a strong currency and in particular
 with the spread of ICOs
But being in competition with BTC is not true
BTC is more stable for push and spread

buying these two coins when the price is so affordable will be very nice and easy to improve the development for much more increase again. so it is very profitable to buy these two coins. both have interesting developments. so it's good to have both and support even further.

Yes, ethereum can be relied upon to hold it in the long run. The value of ethereum will increase, but it will always be under bitcoin. However bitcoin is best for long-term investments and provides higher returns.

I think ETH is still a very good project. If ETH solves the throughput problem, it will become the top project.
So it's worth looking forward to.

people really need to stop comparing them because they both are very different coins and projects and it is almost impossible to be able to compare both of them

i believe it's not right to compare this two, since when it comes to usage it's very different. Maybe for now Bitcoin is the greatest maybe because of the pioneer reasons but it doesn't mean that Ethereum will be second to it forever. I mean we all know that a very constant thing in this world is changes, but i think it will be taking more time in order for ETH to overtake BTC. What i know is Ethereum has a very bright future ahead. I think most of the people here will be agreeing with me.

the only usage that ethereum has is to use it for ICOs, that is by design and you can not change that. but at the same time this means if there are more ICOs then there is more hype and the price of ETH would rise but if the number of new ICOs starts to decrease and if finally with all the ICO bans around the world they stop to even exist then ETH price can fail and even fall down to zero because there is no more usage for it anymore.
add to that all the problems that this platform is experiencing like the $5-$6 fee that you currently have to pay for small transactions, then you see it doesn't have a good future.

Everyone know that BTC is top among all the crypto.But Ethereum is also the good and most popular coin the market.Many people invest on both but due to the high price of BTC,Many prefer to buy ETH and also it has a more chance to increase it's value in the future.

No questions about it as another coin to hold.

ETH has it and its market cap isn't joking that makes it valuable than the rest.

I'm actually holding it because I believe on it.

What you are saying about Ethereum is quite true,many people could not hold Ethereum for a very long term because of the temptation to convert it to fiat currency easily. Also because of the level of Ethereum price growth many people are not investing more in it, they prefer devalued tokens instead.

BTC is like gold and ETH is like foreign currency of big countries. Both of them are good to hold but holding gold is much better.

I have faith in Ethereum. I think Ethereum is popular. There are many predictions that this year ETH price will exceed $1500

I do think that Ethereum can be useful as a long-term hold although at the moment its value is still closely tied with Bitcoin and the two generally move up or down together. With a decent recovery in Bitcoin back over $13,000, however, I think we could also see Ethereum being valued at between $1,500 and $2,000 as beyond its usage for ICO it is more transfer friendly as has greater utility.

I'm holding so many ethereum too, After sharding release and there will be no more congestion to the ether blockchain and that means if more dapps can run smoothly on ethereum. Remember the total transaction in the ethereum network is more than bitcoin and I guess that's the main point.

Difficult to believe that some of altcoins can replace bitcoin. But etherium is one of the strongest from the top. May be in two-three years we will see huge changes. Why not?

Ethereum vs Bitcoin? I will choose both because these coins are the best for holding especially for long term like 3-5 years. I'm pretty sure that you'll get a ton of profit if you do that. :)

Ethereum one of the valuable crypto currency out there and most them didn't realize it yet.
But what is the point to put your title ethereum vs bitcoin??
It make no sense.

I think token etherium is more promising than bitcoin that I currently see bitcoin movement is very bad to be an investment but if we can hold it for more than a year I think bitcoin will give big advantage for the future!

yes that's how it works. if you want a long-term investment, then bitcoin is the right choice. Ethereum is designed only as a short-term investment, and will not be able to compete with bitcoin.

In cryptocurrencies, after bitcoin,  the next thing that comes to one mind is ethereum! In fact ethereum has one of the Best technology and I think the best performing coins in 2017. We are not going to have problems holding ethereum for long-term as the future of ethereum is very bright.  I believe that if governments is going to adopt cryptocurrencies, ethereum is going to be the first coin to use.

I don’t see any problem in HODL of ETH at all. It is second best currency in the crypto market who receives the best investor support and its biggest platform attract more than enough ICO projects than any other out there. So there is no single doubt in my mind that ETH will keep up the pace of going upwards all the time. Yes periodically it will come down but I guess that’s not new thing here and it will be just periodic. So hold it and you will do have benefits from it for longer time hold.

There's still people who hold ethereum for long term. Just like one of my former colleague at work. He has still a few ethereum in his wallet. I even sold(p2p transaction) him, one of my token that I had got from bounty. He sent eth and I sent my token.
Also there are people who don't like ethereum because ethereum has no maximum total supply.

it doesn't matter how many times you compare ETH with bitcoin, in the end it is nothing like bitcoin! there is literary no similarity with them and with their future.
bitcoin with its limited supply will continue to be adopted and rise more and more because it is functioning as a currency and it is actually being used.
but ethereum with its unlimited supply will continue to decline since there is no adoption or usage for it apart from the current ongoing ICO hype which will die sooner or later.

in investing we must have an opinion and should be able to make their own decisions with what has become our choice, although many out there do not believe that Ethereum that we think good for us make investments do not listen to them, optimistic believe we with what we have chosen that any choice we will be able to make a big profit for us, because I think besides bitcoin ethereum is also good for we to make long-term investment.

I think Bitcoin Is Best Than ethereum

bitcoin is better than ethereum, but on the other side ethereum has advantages that bitcoin does not have. the price of ethereum is currently very stable even though bitcoin has decreased significantly. hold bitcoin and ETH.

Yes the point is both are very valuable for the future, it is more important than altcoin in terms of price movements, yes altcoin is very promising but what is the point if the market and movement are controlled on Bitcoin, so if altcoin rises high then Bitcoin will be the first high I just analyze in current movement.

etherium is often used for that, etherium is also widely used by people to invest and in the hold to use when the time is right because I myself do so although the value that I hold is very small

Yes indeed this etherium now more as an investment. because the recovery is pretty quick and profitable puls, so most people would like to hold or invest. Although the same thing also encountered a bitcoin with etherium, but nonetheless the current etherium currently in existence.

There's no problem with this attitude, most of the holders are still depending to bitcoin and there's nothing wrong with it. What's the wrong part on this thing is that many are still believing with these ICOs although most of them turned out to be a scam.
I guess there's no need for any changes for this year, many have recognized ETH as a good coin to hold so what bothers you on this is that you think others doesn't see it as a good choice to hold?

Bitcoin as a leader will remain so! When the market starts to grow, the eth will also grow in proportion to bitcoin, I keep in my portfolio, both bitcoin and eth.

The etherium can bypass bitcoin, because it has more opportunities for development. On the other hand bitcoin has secured the status of digital gold and is unlikely to give it away so easily.

IMO, Ethereum remains the most likely crypto at the time of posting, and currently, the ETH is at over $ 400 - a low exchange rate. The future of ETH is very potential, and that reinforces my belief that I will continue to invest and hold ETH in the future, at least until the end of 2018.

In my view it really comes down to competition between the protocols.

There will only ever be one original Bitcoin, but there will be many platforms which in a fundamental level might come to match and even beat Ethereum's capability.

But for now ICOs are a Big application for Ethereum which should prop it up for a while.

I would choose Ethereum because of the blockchain is stronger and has faster transactions with less fees, and many more tokens are based on Ethereum Blockchian

Both is good to hold for long term but in terms of trying to hold more and invest, i will choose ethereum because its still cheap and will still grow more when more tokens are created daily on it...

especially with the current prices that continue to decline, of course it makes people become more doubt about ethereum but I am not one because I still believe that ethereum has good potential in the future and the price
Even in this year I am sure ethereum will be able to rise to the highest price will even be able to exceed it

I am a long term investor in ETH. I evaluated the potential of ETH as quite high so I decided to buy and hold it. I am pretty sure that ETH will be more than 2000$ but it may take much time to get that level. You may love or hate ETH but ETH is the second popular coin after BTC and there are lots of investors who belive in ETH like me.

I think for now Bitcoin is better, because I see Botcoin price increase is higher than Ethereum.

some speculate that the ethereum will reach $ 2000 by the end of this year, I think they state it on an ever increasing trend basis, and not a few now choose to hold hold ethereum like you

Bitcoin and Ethereum are always suitable for long-term investment. Because many people can not be patient until they make a profit, they usually invest in altcoins and ICOs in the short run so that they can make the most profit possible, but investing in such an ICO comes with risks. Therefore, it is only safe to invest in BTC and ETH.

You're right. Other may choose between these two coins, but the best thing to do is to choose both instead. These both coins are well-established, well-organized and well-managed coin, therefore we can rely on these two because aside from having a good value it also gives a good profits and a long term investments. In order them to continue reigning and giving hopes to us, we must also give back what they've given unto us by simply helping and supporting them to there plans and projects.

Staying with bitcoin is beneficial in my experience. It is long-term, while the ethereum  has not been designed in such a way. Anyways, this is a token. Tokens are changed soon.

Are there still people who think that bitcoin can be compared with ethereum? they both are very different technologies.
Ethereum is meant to be a contract generator + an entire blockchain, and bitcoin is just a blockchain as a meant of store value.

Actually, almost people often use ETH to transfer Tokens and buy some ICO, because the profit that ETH bring less than invest on other Altcoins and its growth about price is also slower than others. But, Bitcoin and ETH are still two coins that you'd better hold for long term. It's alway safe and definite

I prefer ethereum than bitcoin, Ethereum nowadays is popular and many investors uses ethereum blockchain as a support in their projects.

Bitcoin has 21 million supply, and the prediction is 2140 will be reach the limit. While ethereum is unlimited supply. Both of them are long term, but bitcoin is the general use of all.

This year? I don't think so as Ethereum has a lot of flaws based on my research.

Other altcoins with similar use might overthrow Ethereum sooner or later.

Bitcoin tends to lead most of the altcoins but I think it's best to HODL both of them.

I am a firm believer in ETHEREUM but BITCOIN is still the lion in the crypto jungle. Also the bitcoin devs have implemented the lightning which has increased the speed of transactions and also reducing the transaction cost significantly, and ether devs still has to implement there sharding and casper concepts. Let's see how it goes. But for next 18 months I don't see eth overtaking btc.

The recent classification of cryptocurrency by the Chinese puts ETH ahead of bitcoin. ETH is the backbone of almost all ICOs. ETH is ranked second to bitcoin on coinmarketcap. There is a fork in the making to improve ETH scalability.

With all these developments, it is reasonable to believe that holding ETH is worthless?

Understanding the fundamental differences between bitcoin as a product and Ethereum as a medium allows us to move to comparing the assets of ETS and BTC. It will help to determine what is better bitcoin or Ethereum, when it comes to investing and mining. Before we go to the definition of advantages and disadvantages, it is necessary to list the community:
- both resources are mined and traded, that is, mined and bought;
- to store the key codes that ensure ownership, you need special wallets;
- trading in cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin (bitcoin) and Ethereum (ethereum) takes place on exchange platforms;
- the cost of both cryptocurrencies depends largely on supply and demand, that is, subject to jumps in connection with the events of the industry.

Well it's true that both bitcoin and etherium has gained a lot of popularity among the people all over the world and both the cryptocurrencies are doing really great in the financial markets all over the world. But still I would prefer Bitcoin over etherium because it is the oldest form of cryptocurrency. Then it is way more popular than etherium and also has way more potential users who are willing to invest money in bitcoin than etherium.

I think that both are worth attention but btc is more popular. Does this mean that it is better? Some experts give preference to ether but the price of btc is higher at the moment which means you can earn more if holding it

I think bitcoin and ether are great for long-term investments.
second in price increases take a long time and slowly.

I think eth is better , there is  more place to progress and increase in price..btc is already quite high.

Wow how many Ethereums are you holding then?

I see that's the main point of sharding and that's why Vitalik is with continuous upgrade to ETH's network to make it more reliable, faster and convenient.

ethereum is a very good coin, I see bitcoin prices go up every year, when you hold ethereum now, at the end of the year you will be able to profit a lot because the price of ethereum will rise high

I think there is no point in comparing those two currency since they have bought us the same profit.

yes, these two coins are the best so now it's better to choose both for investment, these two coins now have dominated the crypto market so it would be very profitable if you chose both.

Yes I agree on that we don't have to compare both coin because they are both amazing and we can try both of them for investment. Both coin has a good feedback on its feild and many people has already experience gaining on it from the start, so then I believe that there is no really main reason to compare both, because we can try them both .

personally, I think, it's not right to compare both because when it comes to using it's very different. Perhaps, for now, Bitcoin is the greatest probability for pioneer reasons but that does not mean that Ethereum will be second forever. so, in my opinion, both coins are good and promising and also profitable because equally many investors who invest in it.

which I see is so but in the end, Ethereum can be long term and in this way, I prefer Ethereum because Ethereum has good growth and can be profitable quickly therefore from now on the price of Bitcoin and Ethreum is the same as decreasing I chose to invest in ETH and wait BTC rise in price

for me it's better to invest now on bitcoin because the price is so low now that I get more money when it increases.

No one knows for sure if ethereum would be good to be a top choice as a long term investment but I know ethereum is a good coin

Well. indeed between bitcoin and ethereum still no one knows kedepanya whether to be successful or not. the price will rise or just the opposite. I think now we have to be smart in determining the investment

Ethereum is also worth it for long term investment although we cannot compare it to bitcoin because the stability of the two are not that similar. Personally, i only invested two coins among a thousand number of coins in the market and that are bitcoin and ethereum.

Ethereum and Bitcoin they're both good.. I choose them both they're worth to hold and Both coins give good profits.

those coin are very strong.but my choice eth.eth can give you more profit.

to invest long-term, obviously bitcoin be the best choice. ETH is only temporary, and if you last longer then the value will decrease and will not be profitable anymore. so it is unlikely that ETH will compete with BTC, because BTC is still a symbol in cryptocurrency.

It's very difficult to choose between ethereum or bitcoin, in my opinion both have very good prospects in the future, so both are profitable in the world crypto.

Hold is strategy but choose ethereum is option, different I think. Every coin depend their owner strategy and we can push them. I believe ethereum can use to invest in long term period and I already get profit. But at this time trading strategy is more fit than invest. As long our asset grow up, using any coins in any strategy is great.

In a nutshell, I think Ethereum is just a funding platform. A large number of ico financing through ETH. The ETH is even worse at making payments than bitcoin.

Well, i cannot deny the fact that Ethereum has been making the buzz recently and tge support and host for ICOs have been increasing tremendously, but the problem is that most of these ICOs don't hold. Also, BTC pioneered all these cryptosystem and so it shall be very difficult for BTC to be overtaken.

Ethereum and Bitcoint, both are good coints and both are good for investment and certainly have their own advantages but for now it is definitely the top bitcoint among the existing coint, while ethereum is behind the bitcoint

Depends, if the ethereum price increase to $1000 per ETH people will choice ETH to hold their tokens. The thing is it's always about on BTC price, if the bitcoin price go down others will follow include ETH. So if ETH price is not depends on bitcoin price, it will be big.

well, maybe most of us will choise the bitcoin because it is the most popular and most trusted brand. it is the leader of all coins. but we Don't see what the ethereum does. the ethereum is only lived at three years and out of all coin ethereum is next to the bitcoin. even the other coin that long lived in this industry would not next in the bitcoin. so I have a feeling that the ethereum can reach it. let's see what happen.

In fact ethereum has one of the Best technology and I think the best performing coins in 2017. We are not going to have problems holding ethereum for long-term as the future of ethereum is very bright.  I believe that if governments is going to adopt cryptocurrencies, ethereum is going to be the first coin to use.

although many out there do not believe that Ethereum that we think good for us make investments do not listen to them, optimistic believe we with what we have chosen that any choice we will be able to make a big profit for us, because I think besides bitcoin ethereum is also good for we to make long-term investment.

of course eth can be in hold and become an asset.
and I would like to ask what reinforces your assumptions with your statement in this discussion. please give me a more specific explanation so we can argue proof.

Ethereum is my favorite cryptocurrency, it is a project of exceptional value that has enormous potential for growth for the future. I think that in the next months/years the use of ETH will grow and could even exceed Bitcoin; in my opinion it should not be missing in any portfolio of a person who wants to invest in cryptocurrencies

Bitcoin is primarily a functional financial tool with anonymity elements and decentralization. But Ethereum is a platform for creating decentralized programs and applications on blockchain. Smart contracts underlying the network are universal. In Bitcoin, a smart contract guarantees only the conduct of payment transactions. And in Ethereum they can be used in various areas. And in view of these differences are very difficult to compare. Overall, Bitcoin is better at coping with the functions of the payment facility. If you need a cryptocurrency to buy or hold, the BTC will be better with Ether. It takes more sites, and the status of "king".

In order to understand this issue, we need to recall the scope of these crypto-currencies. Ether - can be used from the sale of crushed stone, before the registration of marriage))) What can bitcoin, except how to be digital gold?

I have long regarded Ethereum as a coin for long-term investment. just do not understand your title why you are talking about bitcoin.

ethereum can actually serve as one of the best and potent coins, but many people may feel unsure with ethereum that ethereum can also serve as a good long-term coin like bitcoin. maybe this should be notified to the users if ethereum is not bad.

Definitely we will choose ethereum since it is the greatest altcoin ever and wil not be destroyed by anyone. Ethereum blockchain is more good and reliable like bitcoin but they differs on the price value.

I also think so because I also believe that the growth of ethereum will be as good as bitcoin in the future and very good if it is used for long term investment at this time. when viewed from the prospect of a technology developed in coins this one is very good potency later let alone the function and purpose with technology in the carry will be much in use, because it is many people who already believe in ethereum although there are still some people who still doubt it.

These coins are good and will have you good profit. These coins have the greatest blockchain bit they have 1 different, the price value but still im hoping that soon it will rises up again.

The two currencies are quite good, I prefer Ethereum to invest today more than ever due to its low cost and especially
for its speed in transactions and in terms of which it can be maintained in the long term and be able to see good results.

There are some that will choose the ethereum or maybe they choose bitcoin but for me i prefer to hold them both because these two are good for long term investment and also it has a lot of potential to begin with

I would like to say if both are equally profitable and also promising too. I think each has advantages and disadvantages. But if I am in order to choose,
I choose both because these coins are the best to hold especially for the long term and will provide great benefits for the future.

Most of the people are usually wrong and it doesn't really matter what they think is better bitcoin or ethereum. Because most of them will change thier mind many times after. I think what's matter is adoption ans real usage. And both of these coins are have this usage to live long.

ETH brings convenience and trust to users. It's catching up with Bitcoin

I think eth is good for us to hold for long term. It is good that we can buy in both of them. I have buy in some and I pn to hold them for a long term to wait the high profit.

I think that is changing and people are starting to realize the value of ETH.
People don't just use ETH as a tool for ICO, they use ETH for other purposes.

No doubts of its potentiality and of course can be trusted either long term or for short term investment. But I never think Ethereum will overpass Bitcoin as a leading cryptocurrency. The entire market prices still depending on Btc, is  just the reason why Ethereum don't have a chance to move over btc. Don't know in the years coming.

It is impossible for eth to surpass BTC, but if eth does not have big bugs, then eth may be the top1 in altcoin, so it plays an important role in encryption.

I prefer Bitcoin rather than Ethereum, Ethereum is often used as a payment platform by most ICOs, I think that's the advantage of Ethereum, I'm not sure Ethereum can be a good investment in the future, I do not want to hold Ethereum.

they are wrong, of course etherium is one of the best coins, especially for long-term investments

The more devs. who developed ethereum then makes the future of ethereum very promising, I'm sure that ethereum's future will be the # 1 choice and beat bitcoin someday.

I believe that both these coins deserve a lot of attention, because behind them is the entire infrastructure of the crypto-currency world. In the portfolio it is necessary to keep both bitcoin and etherium in order to get the maximum profit.

yes guys, i think just like you. Ethereum is a holding option for long-term investments when they sell their Ethereum to buy BTC or for ICO investments, I prefer collecting Ethereum for holding. and I believe Ethereum will go to the moon like bitcoin by the end of 2017.

I agree with your opinion. ETH is a promising coin and the benefits are also huge and I think a lot of people have it. But if I choose, I prefer the second coin because I think both are good for the long term and I believe if both will also be of great benefit to me in the future.

In my opinion, bitcoin can earn much more than Ethereum . but I don't think they're competitors.

No need to compare Bitcoin and Ethereum.. Ethereum is losing its position.. There is a huge number of new coins with similar properties. The main drawback of Ethereum is scalability. If this problem is not solved - it will soon Ethereum lose its price.

I personally consider . I don't know about most people. I see the prospect ,and I bet on this coin.

I think the most popular coin among investors is Ethereum .... it is very good for long term investment

They are wrong, no need to doubt etherium . It is very good for long-term investment

I like the Ethereum more Btc, because transactions are faster and they are cheaper

it is truth that mnay people say it is wrong to conpare those two cryptocurrencies, and i agree with it, thsy are so different

these two cryptocurrencies are too different to be compared, each gas its good and bad sides, so it is hard to tell

Etherium is no worse than Bitcoin for long-term investments . I think the price of Etherium can reach higher heights

Eth and Btc is different i many ways. this to cryptos has its own specialties, eth are holding lot of ICOs. you cannot compare those two because they are different.

I prefer ethereum than bitcoin, Ethereum nowadays is popular and many investors uses ethereum blockchain as a support in their projects.

I agree with you it is a different coin to compare them  ::)

I still think Bitcoin will be coin to hold. Over all its profit is greater than all the other coin

Bitcoin and ethereum still both on the top respectively.  If I will able to choose on two I will choose both . Given that bitcoin is #1 in cryptoworld we cant deny that ethereum also has good reputation in cryptoworld. You will also make profit in investing to this two tokens because they have a solid foundation and this two are both popular .

Ethereum and Bitcoin are good cryptocurrencies and they have a high investment value. If you like to make some long-term investments, I suggest you choose both cryptocurrencies.

I think ETH is still a very good project. If ETH solves the throughput problem, it will become the top project.
So it's worth looking forward to.

Ethereum and bitcoin are not in competition against each other rather,  I would say they are complimentary.  Bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency payment coin there is and ethereum  is the best platform for smart contract.

Could be, because if you look at the market seems to mostly use transactions with Ethereum. Ethereum can now become the core currency we must have if you want to participate in the world of crypto, especially if you want to participate in ICO.

I think both coins are useful. but due to bitcoin price higher instead of altcoin lot of people to take interested altcoin buying. if we invest long time then invest in both crypto currency.

I still choose Ethereum even though Ethereum has decreased and so now I see also many people who invest in Ethereum and wait for ETH price to go back then, therefore, I still choose Ethereum because already many people choose this coin because I am sure if with Ethereum can be good

Exactly. Both coins have its own advantages. Although people mostly get accustomed with bitcoin is the long-term holding but I find no problem in holding ethereum for long-term. Nowadays, the number of people is prone to ethereum crowdedly , is going viral. In the rank, ethereum is arranged as one of the best technology comparing to all coins in crypto. Besides, after bitcoin, ethereum is mentioned as the next potential coin of crypto market. I strongly believe that ethereum is worth investing for long-term.

I think that it is better not to compare those coins, as they are offering different options to its users. I think having both of them are beneficial to all crypto markets.

I like ETH because it is very convenient ETH trading is fast and cheap. In addition, any ICO uses ETH to pay

it seems from both coins that can provide a very large advantage is ethereum because with the existence of ethereum a lot of ico created and many ico that can provide very much profit, ico created from the smart contract ethereum.

Holding the ethereum for a long period of time does not seem to me a mistake, because I think ethereum would be better this year. People do not believe in ethereum because they worry that its value is not as good as the bitcoin that was first known. They still do not know everything about ethereum so they do it. Although bitcoin investment is better, but ethereum is equally good.

right. Bitcoin is being caught up by ETH. ETH is superior to Bitcoin in everything. It's safe, convenient and grows well. In the future ETH will replace Bitcoin

I would say if investing long-term bitcoin, is definitely the best choice. ETH is only temporary, and if you last longer then the value will decrease and will not be profitable anymore. I think both coins are good and worth the long-term investment but I would still choose Bitcoin because of potential coins and Bitcoin is the king of coins in the crypto market.

ethereum is a superb coin, I see bitcoin fees go up each 12 months, while you hold ethereum now, at the stop of the 12 months you'll be capable of earnings lots because the price of ethereum will rise excessive

Both are good. Eth came out later than bitcoin.
We ccan see bitcoin as an ancestor of everycoin but it has from very little to no real life use cases.
ETH on the other hand, offers a platform for a lot of project to build on and have their projects up and running.

As of now that bitcoin is falling.Others resort in making use of their ethereum.But either of the two is okay.After all,i think that bitcoin can still regain its strength.

this is not a competition, bitcoin and ethereum are in their respective positions. differentiation, different usage. in both markets almost have the same market, but bitcoin still has a higher value.

I like ETH more because it's multi-use and versatile. Every ICO can be bought with ETH

Bitcoin and Ethereum are one of the best crypto so far and both are have highest value but Bitcoin still has higher value to all crypto, that's why many lots of people are choose each of them because of being both valuable and profitable. The difference if this two crypto is the price because Bitcoin is too expensive while the price of Ethereum is cheaper. Bitcoin is expensive because the supply is limited only but its has higher demand, while Ethereum has unlimited supply and also have higher demand that's the reason why there price is have difference.

Lots are currently comparing about ethereum and bitcoin. Moreover the position both in the market are also very tight. in terms of sales, I think the ethereum master on this year. While the bitcoin seems unremarkable it's movement.

I think it's a good option to hold eth, but I prefer to hold bitcoin for long-term investment because I think it's more profitable. and for eth I think it would be better if we use it for short-term investments. but it all depends on each person.

Both of the coins sit at the top of the crypto pile and have done for some time. The value of them is also pretty closely linked and they tend to move up or down at the same time. As I like to spread risk around I continue to hold both of them but I do also use ETH for any ICO investments I make whereas I simply Hold my Bitcoin.

if I think for now ethereum still has one of the best technologies for the future, this is also the best performing coin last year, but if in my opinion will not have any problem if we aqkan holding ethereum for long term because the future of ethereum is very bright , I believe that if the government will adopt cryptocurrency, ethereum will be the first coin used, because ethereum will continue to be beside bitcoin.

Both are not comparable one to each other. Bitcoin with its protocol is aiming the different way than ethereum. Ethereum has been aiming to get the mass tokenization again. You can see that about how the majority of people are discussing about both of coins on various place. Ether is focusing on the smartcontract.

I prefer bitcoin because soon the price of Bitcoin will come back so from that I prefer Bitcoin and hopefully, it can be profitable quickly and can return to a stable price because bitcoin decreased already a few months ago

This facts should be consider when choosing between the two, both already gain a lots of exposure but chances to have much bigger value still with btc, with limited supplies and much larger audiences who already have an idea how things works inside crypto and how they can used and benefits this coins, though with people around crypto world ETH seems to have a lots of uses as well since its been used as a platform better to research deeper when starting investing.

personally i think if ethereuem if with pos it will be more scarce and worth hodling more than bitcoin smart contract functionality and a huge developers intrest will pay off in the future

I think cryptocurrency initially exists for transactions, where people complain about transactions that have expensive costs and must be with other parties, now cryptocurrency is used as an asset and the user even grab who is eligible to hold. whether or not it is used as an asset depends on the respective thinking, in my opinion bitcoin is more deserve to be hold.

10 months ago there was only ever a mention of bitcoin. Currently, mainstream journalist are all writing "what´s the next bitcoin" pieces that usually include 5 alts - Eth always one of them. It´s easy to see how this will shift when more and more Dapps launch and people learn that most of them run on Ethereum. I predict we will see a shift in the focus of news reports on Ethereum just as we saw with Bitcoin in 2017. Why does that matter? I will drive the price up like we saw happen with BTC in 2017 and it will make Ethereum the hottest thing to talk about.

Everybody realize that BTC is top among all the crypto.But Ethereum is likewise the great and most well known coin the market.Many individuals contribute on both however because of the high cost of BTC,Many want to purchase ETH and furthermore it has a more opportunity to build it's an incentive later on. ::) ::) ::)

Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have made their mark in the market. In the future both will maintain their ownership over other crypto currency. In the future, the benefits of investing in ethereum and bitcoin will be encouraged.

I think it all depends on bitcoin prices going in which direction, so far we have seen for ourselves how bitcoin greatly affect the price of all markets. so if bitcoin this year shows bullish then ethereum price will follow too, the most important we just monitor bitcoin movement and do not lose moment to get profit.

I think that although many out there do not believe that Ethereum that we think good for us make investments do not listen to them, optimistic believe we with what we have chosen that any choice we will be able to make a big profit for us, because I think besides bitcoin ethereum is also good for we to make long-term investment.

I think you do not need to contrast bitcoin to Ethereum, because these two coins have different purposes and perform different functions. It does not matter what coin has a big capitalization, the main thing is that the cryptocurrency market continues to develop.

both of these coins do have such an increasing development. so as to be able to generate much greater profits by having both of these coins. other than that with the ability of these two coins to become the mainstay coins in the future will make this coin so expensive in the future.

Bitcoin was the first true cryptocurrency and has been in circulation since 2009. Ethereum is a far more recent development, going live in 2015.

In the time between Bitcoin and Ethereum’s release, lots of other cryptocurrencies emerged. Mostly, however, they were limited to trying to improve on aspects of Bitcoin’s performance – for example, increasing speed of transactions or improving the security or anonymity of transactions.

Ethereum is certainly faster than Bitcoin – with transactions typically settling in seconds, rather than minutes. But it also takes things further. While still blockchain based, and operating as a store of value, its fans and evangelists see it as a platform for distributed computing, which comes with its own built-in currency, called Ether.

While the Bitcoin blockchain can simply be pictured as a database of accounts (or wallets) with an amount of currency stored in each, the Ethereum network blockchain is a more sophisticated construction, capable of storing computer code – applications – that can use the CPU power going into the network to execute.

The currency – Ether – represents this CPU power – so the idea is that Ether will be bought and sold by businesses, governments or individuals to allow them to tap into the vast, distributed resources of the Ethereum network to run their own apps.

The first of these applications are known as “smart contracts”. This is a way of automating contracts and agreements so they will execute when consensus says that conditions have been filled. Though simple, their uses are potentially widespread – such as enabling payment systems which will release funds on completion of work, or authorizing the transfer of ownership of good when payment has been made.

The Ethereum network also allows the creation of other cryptocurrencies, or tokens, using the same protocol as Ether but distributed on different blockchains, which can be public or private. This means they can be created by organizations to represent shares, voting rights or as means of proving identity or authorization credentials.

Is endless if the second speaks of these coins. Because of its position in the market also ranked one and two. Then no wonder there is tough competition that occurs between the two.

In my opinion those two cryptocurrencies are just different one from another, and they don't have a need to compare it between each other. So it also means that one will not be overcome with another.

Most of people here in crypto are comparing or compete altcoins to bitcoin and the other wants to see the coin that would replace to the king. We all know that ethereum has a great potential with the excellent performance in the market, we don't need choose one between ethereum and bitcoin because the wise decision is choose both.

If you want maximum results in the long run you can hold bitcoin because bitcoin is still king in unia cryptocurrency. But ethereum is not as good as bitcoin. Therefore I still hold the coin in bitcoin.

Ethereum is my preferred cryptocurrency, it is a task of top notch price that has widespread capacity for growth for the future. I suppose that within the subsequent months/years using ETH will grow and could even exceed Bitcoin; in my view it need to not be missing in any portfolio of someone who wants to invest in cryptocurrencies

Sure, both of them is very good if we want to hodling. But i prefer to hodl btc than ethereum, because in my mind btc is stil the king and ethereum is just son of the king. If you want to invest maybe you can split Btc 65% and eth 35%

yes, I really agree with you better choose both for investment, Bitcoin and Ethereum are two very promising coins and have now dominated the Crypto market so their future is very bright.

Bitcoin and ethereum have the same potential because both of coins are not including on the security tokens which made both of them can be adopted by all of the people around the world. Ethereum with its tokenization has been helping a lot to create a noise to attract the more investors to join in the cryptocurrency. Both are really promising coins.

If I were to compare the two coins. Im gonna choose ETH. It has become popular these days to choose ETH over bitcoin.In truth these two coins are completely different from one another

It actually depends on us on how we are going to use both assets. Ethereum platform is different from Bitcoin platform most especially it's purpose of existence and usage. They are the most popular platforms in this cryptocurrency industry and that is undisputed I mean uncomparable.  They are like guns versus knives wherein we all know that they are both weapons but has different characteristics same as Ethereum versus Bitcoin.

if I think personally prefer ethereum rather than bitcoin, because Ethereum is currently quite popular and many investors use blockchain ethereum as a supporter in their projects, because ETH is a promising coin and the benefits are also great and I think a lot of people have it. But if I choose, I prefer the second coin because I think both are good for the long term and I believe if both will also be very useful for me in the future.

Among the types of cryptocurrency, Ethereum is my most favaorable, it is a project of exceptional value that has enormous potential for growth for the future. I think that in the next months/years the use of ETH will grow and could even exceed Bitcoin.

I agree with you  :D

I think that ether and btc are the best coins ever and ether is the second one in the rating after btc. I am sure that bitcoin is the most powerful but ether is not less popular today, it is gainingv popularity quickly

I am sure that there is no sense to make big difference between Ethereum and Bitcoin in terms of making reasonable decisions where to invest. But for me it seems very interesting to find some coins that would be so reliable as these ones.

Very easy question... I bet 1000$ on ETH, because all altcoins depends on ETH.

For me, bitcoin is much better than ethereum or any altcoins because you can earn big profit investing in bitcoin than altcoins, i think the price of bitcoin is the most expensive in altcoins that is why if you invest here a lot and when it increased you can earn big profit. Bitcoin is also the first ever crypto or main crypto which have a big potential in any other coins in crypto and that is why it is very strong to be compared to any altcoins.

Here I will look at some of the features and facts of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Think of it. If you can do day trading with Etherium, why can you not hold it for a long time and wait for it to go up? I think it's a good investment because that's what I do right now. I started last June and things are getting better.

If I choose Ethereum and Bitcoin, then I choose Ethereum, because it has more prospects for use. I very often use Ethereum to buy tokens in ICO projects, and Bitcoin I can not use for this! Bitcoin for me is only a means of investment, but for this it is much more profitable to use promising Altcoins with much less capitalization and therefore greater prospects. Am I wrong?

No, I don't see anything will change, investors will still use ethereum for transaction, when they reach their goal or get their rewards they will exchange tokens for bitcoin and bitcoin for cash which is the reason most investors are investing money, to make more money. Only rare care about crypto and will hold their funds in ethereum, bitcoin or any other alt coin.

You cannot compare ethereum with bitcoin since both of them is unique in their own way. Each serves with different purpose. I agree that ethereum is worth holding, but as long as people believe in bitcoin, only few will hold ethereum.

I'm certainly for bitcoin. But I will not say that the ethereum is a bad coin. It is very well developed and will soon cost about $ 2000. Both coins are good only bitcoin is already a brand and more popular than the ethereum.

Of course, Ethereum is the most potential coin after Bitcoin in this blockchain system. I think both have a prosperous future because of the popularity and reliability. people are getting paid by Bitcoin and Eth most of the cases so the market circulation is also good for both two coins every day. So we may put trust on these two coins without any hesitation.

Many people know that ethereum is not a good choice for investment. It's basically a token that serves as gas in the execution and transferring of smart contracts. Btc is a currency that could be adopted as a means of exchange worldwide. Hodling of Bitcoin has a greater possibility of increasing onces portfolio.

Ethereum is a good altcoins but I prefer bitcoin because it is more profitable than ethereum and bitcoin is a primary currency which is why I prefer it but I would buy some ethereum if I'll save some money this year because I find ethereum is very promising coin. 

Eth has a larger potential from my point of view but Btc looks like quite unpredictable because its price is very unexpected now and its future is confusing.

I think that the Ethereum can still fall in price relative to Bitcoin, by 10-20%! I'm still investing money in Bitcoin.  :-*

if I myself choose both because the same produce hehe

For me, they have similar problems and it means that they are on the same position. Perhaps it will be changeg later but in the current moment I am sure in it.
