As bitcoin all time high battling to be $ 49000 , ether is also all time high in $1850

There are lots of similar thread like this one dude, just try to use the toolbar search get the old thread that discussed the same thing like this

here's also the old thread about that topic too.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5311389.20

FYI, discussing ethereum vs bitcoin is not again relevant consider it's just comparing the different things like mango and apple. It's not so difficult to use the search toolbar.

I think both are very good and has a different function, because :
1. Bitcoin was created to make it easier for people to make digital payment
2. Ethereum was created to make it easier for other project to create their own smart contract
therefore I think Bitcoin and Ethereum are very good project, because the function of Bitcoin and Ethereum are very useful in the future.

Both are great coins but they have different use in crypto space. In terms of which coin should we invest, since both has a great performance. Ethereum showed good progress since last year and bitcoin also made new ATH near reaching $50k now.

I have both of that coin but already sell off all of my ethereum last week. No regrets at all. But as to my bitcoin, Im still holding it until now. Cheers to those long term holders like me who manage to wait up to this moment.

My preference has always been ethereal for some reason. Bitcoin is not for me because it is in front of too many people and too famous. Ethereum is more risky and attractive to me. Of course, this is my choice.

There are no comparison to begin with, two different kind of coins, the only similarity is that they are both prime movers, specially Ethereum in the altcoin market. Price? nah, bitcoin is way ahead. But they are good as investments, specially Ethereum which is giving higher yields year-to-year.

So in any case, if you are for long term investment, both are good and I'm sure majority will agree on me. Both surpassed their previous all time high already as you have said, but we are expecting more before the end of the year.

bitcoin is an investment, ethereum acts as a decentralized computing network for application development.
Ethereum has a lot more development. Technically, the cryptocurrency that is used to facilitate ethereum transactions is called 'ether'. However, it is more popularly referred to as ethereum.
in my opinion, both of them are very good coin to keep for now.

Eth is always next to bitcoin and if you compair bitcoin to ether you are just like comparing a giant to dwarf if we are going to look on to bitcoin price that is quit big vs the ethereum price, even if the ethereum will having a huge pump bitcoin is still more amazing, if bitcoin rise ethereum will also rise next to it so i think every coin or token in cypto is always follow bitcoin if bitcoin will pump more coin will also pump so there is no doubt bitcoin is more amazing than eth.

^ Have you invested them all, if so, you won't need to compare them because they are both leading cryptocurrencies that have good potential on earning profit. We are in the bull market as of now, considering that all altcoins have been also doing great and they pumped up together with BTC and now we are in a healthy market and most likely all investors was gained profit. Nevertheless, even though both coins have very high fees but they are still very useful crypto.

There is no Etherium vs Bitcoin happening. Both are performing well but I think all altcoins including Etherium just carried on the momentum because of the bullrun created by Bitcoin.

I doubt Etherium will pass the $1,000 or $2,000 mark if Bitcoin didn't went a crazy pump. Even in altcoin season, Etherium can't create a bull run on its own.

Having these 2 is necessary on our crypto investment and trades. Have it always on our portfolio.

I do not think that there is such thing as Bitcoin verses Ethereum as they are both in use and both will always exist, so there is not such thing as one will kill the other.

I do not want to compare ethereum and bitcoin or ethereum against bitcoin because both coins are different. Bitcoin and ethereum are as an investment, and we do not have to compare both as bitcoin and ethereum can work as a way for us to make money. Both coins, bitcoin and ethereum, is the best coin right now for me, and I am sure that both coins can make the new ATH soon. Bitcoin and ethereum will not stop lifting the price and will try to increase, so you can wait for that while you can buy back bitcoin and ethereum before it starts a rally.

I'm confused as well with the title of the thread.

Ethereum and Bitcoin is very different in terms of its used. Of course both can be treated as an investment but Ethereum - it's a decentralized applications. What we do love about this two though is that it becomes the top cryptocurrency in the market and no amount of competition that topple them in their position.

But there was a time in 2017 that people that there could be a "The Flippening", meaning Ethereum taking over Bitcoin but it didn't happen.

I think everyone knows that etherem and BTC cannot be compared, because BTC is far superior to ETH, but what is clear is that these two coins are superior coins that have always been favorites in cryptocurrency, because these two coins are growing very rapidly, so they are very worthy of being  investment is in the long term, because from time to time it has increased,

BTC is all-time favourite cryptocurrency so if we compare with any coin it will always rule the crypto market. Normally all the peoples are know about the exact market situation.
Bitcoin and Ethereum both are Decentralized platform so we make good return on both long term and short term investment. In my opinion BTC is a best choice because strong stability and huge competitor.

People shouldn't compare bitcoin and ethereum. What does your versus means? there's no need for you to have that kind of battle or fight between the two. They're known for being the best for all crypto and that's bitcoin while ethereum, it's known for being the best for alts and smart contracts.

Looking at both of them having new all time highs, we holders of it are the winners.

Well, you are both very right and also very wrong. Ethereum did created a bull run all by itself when the eth 2.0 phase 0 was notified, everyone heard about it and there was I think over 500k+ ethereum invested into that, which was awesome and I still think it is the cause of that jump during that period.

As soon as that was heard the price of ethereum and everything else was super high, and that is why I think ethereum could create a bull run all by itself. That is the part you are wrong, but the part you are right is that it happened only once and for a short while, whereas bitcoin can do that at any time, bitcoin does it all the time, price of things go up al to just because bitcoin went up, so yes bitcoin is the main reason for any increase, nothing else could be like bitcoin. So, you are 99% right about it, there was just this one instance where ethereum managed it by itself. But, maybe in the future eth 2.0 phase 2 may cause it too? I don't know.

There is no reason for comparing the Bitcoin and Ethereum market to each other but you need to be aware that if Bitcoin halving doesn't happen or if Bitcoin doesn't reach new ATH after halving Ethereum and others altcoin won't either.

People always comparing bitcoin and etheum, both are a good investments. True, if bitcoin halving did not happen other coins will not follow its growth in the market. Both are good to have in our portfolio, if we look into the current market it's trend is continually growing.

complete position in my opinion bitcoin is $ 50k and ethereum is $ 2k. This is according to the predictions of many people who say if Ethereum and Bitcoin are able to be there but are just waiting for the right time for both of them to be in that position

Anyone knows about what will be the answer and that's why people must have stopped to compare bitcoin and ethereum. This is a common thing that repeated so many times by the newcomers.
They don't know about the different between ethereum and bitcoin. The newcomers keep compare both.
This is happening so many times and it's not only for this time.

Good for both of them, but somehow I am still devastated eth continues gas fee problems that went too high. I would still prefer bitcoin as the best one until this time, and for ethereum it can be a second opinion. Bitcoin had already surpassed many challenges for the past two years, and now is the time strong pillars of success started to shine.

But the price of Ethereum (ETH) is also being pushed by the price rise of Bitcoin itself so Ethereum's (ETH) price increase is not only due to Ethereum (ETH) itself but also to Bitcoin. Bitcoin's price increase is based on USD alone but Ethereum's (ETH) price increase is based on its Bitcoin price as well as USD price. Sometimes Ethereum (ETH) is increasing in USD but actually decreasing in BTC.

Yes, Both are a good investments but I’m gonna wait for a dip. It’s hard to chase when it went up. My concern is that Ethereum has consistently gone down in relation to BTC going up, its really worth so little at this point.

Agree or not if at this time bitcoin will continue to dominate the altcoins under it so it does not rule out if altcoins will experience a decline in price at any time, in fact many investors or traders are currently selling their altcoins and prefer bitcoin as an asset to store and if the trend is positive This continues to happen there is a high probability that bitcoin price could hit $ 75K in 2021 and of course the altcoin season is not going to happen any time soon.

So what do you exactly wanted to know OP? I can not understand fully by seeing your post. Always try to post something which help to get it easily by others. :)

Actually It's very normal that ETH is following btc trend. If ETH a number one altcoin does not follow bitcoin then who will do man?

indeed at this time the incident actually happened but not last year when Bitcoin moved itself without ethereum being able to follow.
bitcoin has reached ATH since last year, but ethereum can only follow this year to reach its ATH, so theoretically where bitcoin increases, it can be ascertained that ethereum will also participate. but last year ethereum was left behind, hopefully this year it will be able to keep its distance so that it stays with bitcoin.

I believe as Bitcoin price increases it is going to drag all these Altcoins along but most of them will underperform in Bitcoin price. Ethereum ATH in Bitcoin value is 0.15BTC, now it is 0.0365, it will need to do 4x in BTC price to reach that height, this is my advice to people don't over expose yourself to Altcoins without talking profit in BTC, because it is BTC that will matter in future

I believe that the most intent eyes today are following the further development of events in the cryptocurrency market, specifically regarding Bitcoin and Ethereum. Of course, there are other cryptocurrencies that can show quite good results in the near future, but I still cannot afford too much risk and therefore I invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum at the same time, which will definitely give me a profit, if not in one, so in another case.

We can wait for that. With bitcoin price now reach $49k, I think ethereum hard to reach 0.15 btc again because if ethereum can break 0.15 btc, the price of ethereum will be at $7,500. That means the price now needs to reach almost $5,000 from now on. That is difficult for ethereum, but I do not say that is impossible. Maybe ethereum needs more time to increase by $5,000.

then what ? because if we comparing ethereum vs bitcoin thats not fair my friend
because both cryptocurrency is completely different and i believe ethereum will never surpass the bitcoin price

You cannot compare two strong and promising cryptocurrencies. Ethereum and Bitcoin are very different projects with different goals and different development paths. I think that you can speculate for a long time who will win, but in the end, both BTC and ETH will remain in the cryptocurrency arena.  ::)

The problem is that anyone coming new to the market anticipate that ETH would rally just like bitcoin and it was perception majority had in the beginning as there was no major difference between the price when the price of ETH started its initial rally and then bitcoin went to the moon last time around and after that there is no catching back and the network congestion in ETH is the worst part .

no one can possibly say that these two coins are not the best coins in crypto and I totally agree that they all say the same thing. we know that both of them always stick closely to whatever happens to bitcoin, so the effect will be on ethereum. unfortunately last year bitcoin increased sharply but ethereum could not do, it was only at the beginning of the year that ethereum could reach ATH while bitcoin continued to experience renewable ATH.

even bitcoin was amazingly three days in a row doing renewable ATH:
the 16th = $50.350, 17th = $51.615 and 18th = $52.547;
This is certainly extraordinary and could indicate that bitcoin will continue to want to increase sharply.

Blessed are those of you who are still holding bitcoin because it is clear that the profits are in front of your eyes, just wait until a sharp increase occurs again.

I don't know what the motivation is to compare bitcoin with ethereum,
in my opinion it will only be a waste of time and of course there is no benefit so it's better to let bitcoin and ethereum run alone,
after all, these two coins are also good for long-term investment and the price may increase again in the future

Simply understood, the source of money flowing into the market and money will be bitcoin and the top altcoin. In this situation it's just a coincidence, but I think that bitcoin's current ATH will not be directly related to ETH's ATH, even though the market is heavily influenced by bitcoin but in this bull run as we engage If bitcoin is consistently seen at high ATH levels, ETH has not yet reached ATH x2 compared to the old ATH, which may be one thing that everyone should pay attention to, I think the right price for ETH could be around $ 2400 in the meantime next.

the point is bitcoin price is not friendly to our financial pockets at this time, will bitcoin leave us here who have lost bitcoin since 2017. We are living witnesses where the price of bitcoin is in 2014. And for Ethereum it turns out that it will follow bitcoin to the moon continuously. we also fell behind. crypto broods and males have let us go a long way.

of course ethereum is not as powerful as bitcoin which is able to increase many times and impress many users The price that continues to increase is done by bitcoin and investors still believe bitcoin will continue to pump Unlike etehreum the price is hard to go up and looks like it only lasts Besides that many ethereum users complain about is the high cost of GAS fee and until now there is no solution

Once Bitcoin has broken through the $50k then of course the lower coins like Ethereum will probably break the $2k in the near future, it looks like something to reach a high value is still very likely this season. With increasing support from the previous team's hard work, this achievement is certainly a target of success that must be achieved. Even so, Ethereum's rise is not as fast as the crypto king but that doesn't mean Ethereum is losing support.

maybe it could be that what @elonmusk is doing will have an impact on other big traders who want to make a profit because they believe as you say because of the influence of the rich in the world.
bitcoin just now it has reformed $ 53,194 renewable ATH, so it looks like ATH is being formed almost every day.

Actually there is no desire to miss the opportunity to also enjoy what is the phenomenon of this bitcoin, but because the value is large enough it is no longer possible to reach it, apart from using the existing atcoin to be converted to bitcoin which is clearly insignificant value.

I don't think BTC is fighting ETH or ETH versus BTC. The fact is that BTC and ETH have different tasks, and if we look at the times of the emergence of cryptocurrencies, we will see that at first there was BTC and only then ETH was developed, on the basis of which various platforms and cryptocurrencies began to appear. For me, ETH is the fuel for BTC and the development of the entire crypto industry. So BTC and ETH do not fight each other, but on the contrary supplement and help each other develop and reach new heights.

We've beatin this price now at this moment of time $55k became consistent and only fluctuates minimally. Right now we already battling up to $100k, so don't you wait for another tommorow use every resources that can earn a potential gain if you're going to purchase bitcoin now. Another ATH will soon to arise and fill our wallets with amazing profit.

I am not predicting that the price of BNB will rival ETH and thereby the total market cap can be bigger than ETH, it all depends upon how many projects are shifting their platform to networks that are not congested and BNB is not the only coin that is taking advantage of the ETH congestion, there are other coins in the market and with that the situation there is no way ETH will rival bitcoin in any way shape or form.

right speculation. Currently bitcoin price has really broken the $ 50k mark, and is in the $ 55k range. while ethereum has now reached a price of $ 2k. I don't know how long these two coins will last, but it looks like the new ATH will continue to be open to bitcoin and ethereum. well, I really missed the cheap price on those two coins  :D

Still a long way to go though, just see the gap between their market capital and it's around ~190 billons of dollars meaning if binance wants to overtake ETH within short amount of time they need to atleast perform few times better than their current performance not to mention the BNB coins burned overtime meanwhile ETH is still growing like there's no tomorrow despite got hold back by their problem regarding the gas.

The price is indeed slowly growing now, but it is growing constantly, regardless of the movement of the BTC price. And we can see in the near future an explosive increase in the price of ETH, which may occur due to the pumping of money from bitcoin, the price of which is now at its maximum levels.

No surprises.  Although, 2018 1BTC ~ 11ETH, and at the present time, 1BTC ~ 29ETH.  There are many reasons why our judgment has always been wrong.  The BTC gap has continued to expand very differently.  Of course they are also looking for its new ATHs. 
Etherum 2.0 composing is near the end, but it's not the spike in value, it's that the Defi competition is booming.  Bitcoin always makes special things and should be concerned about how ETH fights against the defi open trend from BSC, HECo.  I'm still in ETH looking for something!

As of now bitcoin is reached $56k I believe that it can easily to reach $60k this month and for ethereum I think it can achieve to reach $2,500 but the gas fee will be so high and this can pulling down the price of ethereum I think.. 

There's more ETH locked into staking funds than BTC locked in Lightning Network. Think about it  ;)

2 words:

SUPPLY

SHOCK

Clearly, Bitcoin is showing a higher rate of increase at this moment compared to Ethereum but that won't validate an argument saying that Bitcoin will be already better than Ethereum as an investment, if that's the concern. Both are special and are having advantages over the other, I guess. When it comes to the market value, Bitcoin is clearly having a higher one but Ethereum has quite of a more stable market value than Bitcoin over the years, if I'm not mistaken. It depends on to which aspect they will be compared with.

Ethereum and bitcoin have become the masters of cryptocurrency, they have a very large market now new ATH has appeared again. but ethereum is not a match for bitcoin the father of cryptocurrency

That's easy for bitcoin.

The price isn't that far and it can only take less than 24 hours for that to happen if we'll still having the same rush to pump.

And just for the record, the highest that has been seen today is $57000 and ETH in $2000.

No doubt that bitcoin is still the king of cryptocurrency. It is obvious that price of bitcoin reached more than $50k. And I think it could reach to $100k in time, so ethereum already reach all time high and will follow bitcoin.

Its just 9 days after posting this one OP and we just hit a new all time high both with BTC and ETH. We are seeing a small correction right now, which I think is normal so don’t panic and stay focus. It you have some extra today, you might want to buy more before it recovers again, we’re not done yet.

These are a good team up to see right now, more holders was celebrating their harvesting time due to fruitful profits. Their ATH is remarkable ever since previous bearish market was too bloody, but still managed to stand up even with so many hindrance despite pandemic outbreak affects individuals on their financial status.
