Will it be more profitable to do ether to bitcoin or just stick with bitcoin

The answer to the question you raised largely depend on your plan for both coin. For people that believe in ether's future, they will always do ether to bitcoin and vice-versa

Better go with bitcoin cos ethereum is gonna tank down since bitcoins value is still going up.

People are still confident investing their money to bitcoin rather than eth

i think you should push both coins.since ether is the second high value coin in crypto,ether has a future while bitcoin continue its way up,coz ether is the alternative to bitcoin .when BtC miners mined all the coins.ethers price will progress and stablished its own market,and its sooner.so have faith in both coins

Bitcoin or etherium for investment? It all depends on what goals are pursued in doing so. If there is a view of the usual storage for a long term, it is better to invest about 70 percent in Bitcoin, and 30 in the etherium. If you are going to trade tokenies, then for transactions you need an etherium. It is also needed for other purposes.

You know what, it is better for you if you build a good strategy regarding that matter. But for me, try to have a percentage on your coins. For example 25% bitcoin and 15% for ether. Just like that. On your portfolio.

Ethereum and Bitcoin are excellent crypto coins to invest.
Although Bitcoin is now still ahead in price.
However Etherium is in great demand by several ICO projects.

It all depends on the size of investment and time period. If your investment amount is on the lower side and expect some quick profit, might as well turn that Bitcoin into ETH through exchanges. If you're having a considerably bigger investment, stick to Bitcoin and go for the long haul, it is definitely going to be worth the patience.

in my opinion i will choose bitcoin cause bitcoin now adays is to high its value than ether so  much better to do invest bitcoin to get more profit.

Well, if you take my suggestion into note, bitcoin would be more profitable option for your investments as of now.
The market of bitcoin is completely in favour of investors at the moment. It is predicted by the experienced historical traders that bitcoin might head up towards $10000 in 2018.
It is also profitable if you split your money into both ether and bitcoin currencies by measuring percentage of 50%/50.

Bitcoin could be more profitable now but also it is more risky than ethereum. So no way is good in fact. But I think you should not buy bitcoin.

I think in near future the best way is stay in BTC. And after hard fork buy alts.

I prefer bitcoin than ether, I see for now the price of bitcoin is amazing ,, I do not know what to next like ,,, I personally for the moment do not dare to buy bitcoin ,, better wait and see the next situation

I see bitcoin as more profitable to invest into than ether. There are various reasons why investing into bitcoin is more profitable to invest into and one of those is that bitcoin is less riskier to invest into than ether. No matter what time you invest on bitcoin, you will profit soon in the future even if price tanks. Also, ether's tech is inferior to btc which means that the potential that btc holds is greater than ETH. Still, it is profitable to invest into ethereum but investing in btc is way more profitable.

bitcoin price  is very high , over 6000 dollar/bitcoin
if you trade or investment bitcoin need much money, and profit is not high
if you want get high return altcoin investment is the best and very good , and ETH the best altcoin

I cannot see beyond bitcoin at the moment. The whole crypto-currency market is currently riding on the back of bitcoins success, and ethereum is the biggest beneficiary. Ethereum really needs to evolve from a coin for icos and such into something used widely like bitcoin. My money stays with bitcoin until further notice.

I will rather turn bitcoin to ether. I found ether very useful and fast. Not to say that bitcoin is slow or anything. Ethereum seem to have a lot of usage!

the wisiest way is to store both- BTC and ETH
I suppose maybe in future ETH will become more expensive and valued, but not soon

what do you mean by that ?
are you talking about buying Ethereum and then sell it to Bitcoin or just keep holding Bitcoin?
if you're a longterm trader i prefer to use Ethereum and Bitcoin,because you're valuing your portfolio and you will be profited as long as your Bitcoin increase.
in the future Bitcoin price will be moving upward and your profit will be doubled from today.
but bear it in your mind,everything can be happen in cryptocurrency,
so it would be best for you to not doing all in into one

i dont really get what your trying to say but i can say that both etherium and bitcoin are verry good coins and each of them has their own pros and cons but in terms of profitability id say go on bitcoin because  as you can see most people are already earning on it in a matter of time due to its rapid growth yet etherium is also a good choice and the best alternative option if you want to spread your funds to for a better profit.

Yeah what he said. Keep in mind that all the people claiming that ETH will tank don't understand that the ethereum platform is used in over 80% of all altcoins. In order for altcoins to have ICOs or donations or distributions they rely on ETH network and protocol. The amount of ERC20 tokens listed on CMC is staggering. Just goes to show that Ethereum isn't going away anytime soon, but BTC is the mother of all crypto so there's no judging BTC will go away anytime soon. Either is a good investment.

Even if either of them crashed they would bounce back. Not sure if anyone remembers Mt Gox, but after that a LOT of people lost hope in BTC and assumed 1.2k would forever be its ATH.

I’ve been buying BTC/USD and ETH/USD

ETH to invest in projects and BTC to hold.

I’m realising that the BTC/ETH spread is getting quite wide so I should just buy BTC and trade ETH to get more value on the diverging ETH price

What I don’t know is..
Whether BTC/ETH trade prices on exchange will be much more costly
And which exchange provides the best pair prices.

Now every altcoin is falling including ether its right time to invest on ether if your really looking for long term investment after segwit2x ether will be the first coin will pump hard like  previous BTG fork ethereum raised upto 10% for 2 days.

With altcoin price declines currently opening up opportunities to buy some potentially rising altcoin after November's hardfork, and Eth including altcoins that have priority after bitcoin in terms of investments, by investing in bitcoin and Ethereum are certainly very good to be able to gain profit ahead

Of course buy and hold bitcoins obviously this is the best crypto to hold look at the price of bitcoin , it rice up to the sky next 2 years or less, and look at the ether price it fall down for a month or more.

just look at the charts man. nobody can help you more than the charts can. compare the two with each other and with others even. make sure to zoom out to look at them long term as well as short term. the zoom should at least be for 6 months to a year. then look how the price of these two coins have been changing during this time frame and other time frames and then i assure you that you can make a good decision.

I highly recomend moving to ethereum because there is some kind of idea. Bitcoin is just trading currency and there is no real value. Better currency than ethereum is dollar. Ethereum is over valued.

I like ether because the transactions are much faster not that i complain i could use some BTC as well

No eyes blinking i just say bitcoin is much profitable, just stick in bitcoin mate right now the value are continuous increasing and it is like an insane currency the vale is too much but i am happy on whats happening of bitcoin value because my money in terms of bitcoin are now bigger and bigger and i am planning to sell when the value meet my target amount.

Right now it's BTC only for most people, it seems to just not be able to stop going up up up. I'd say make the most of the ride at the moment

I think, bitcoin and ethereum are very important coins. Bitcoin is very popular compared to ethereum but ethereum is a coin that is commonly used to transaction.

If you know how to do coins flipping you can really make money through bitcoin to ethereum and vice versa. There are times  that ethereum will be doing well and there are times that bitcoin will also be doing well, you will make good money from the coins you are holding that is doing well at that particular time that you will need to convert it to the weak one.

We have to be realistic, bitcoin is the best of all coin in crypto market and everybody talks about it . Bitcoin value is still keep moving higher and
higher and so many investors are coming to invest for bitcoin. Bitcoin will reach 7000 $ soon and who knows it might be 10k $ before the end of the year.

Best long term strategy: 50% BTC, 50% ETH

Short term (until the November BTC hard fork) BTC should perform better, I see then an ETH rally end 2017/beginning 2018

For sure it would be more profitable if you could accurately predict price changes and change between the two accordingly but that is difficult and risky, a better strategy would be to hold both bitcoin and ethereum in a ratio you're happy with.

I would go for bitcoin in the short-term, it's showing big growth pre-segwit2x. But after the fork who knows?
I think ETH is good too, just not at the moment. So for longer-term I'd say split between btc and eth.

it depends on your investment plan.If you want to do long term, i would say Ether, but otherwise, Bitcoin.

Both is profitable bitcoin and ethereum. Though bitcoin price is expensive I can say it will soaring high in the upcoming years while in ethereum you can hold for a long term investment. Anyway, both can do the profit gain.

I choose to use bitcoin for trade/ investment, replace trust with stop loss of course. Ether is not like old time, no more interesting and the price moving make me " panic " last week. Even bitcoin has high price but high volume make me sure it will reach my sell area. So, I'll keep waiting and learn about ICO project. Bitcoin always become number one and the best one. Good luck. 

to be honest, the price of the ETH is a bit disappointing, the edal of the greater half of Byzantium, but so far it's hanging around $ 300

Until 2018, Bitcoin

It will probably be different for everyone. I think Ethereum will do better. I have no confidence in Bitcoin and it will never happen. I think Ethereum's market price will exceed Bitcoin.

I think just stick with bitcoin because bitcoin price growing much faster than ETH. In case of rising bitcoin price, ETH price decreases. If you transfer ether to bitcoin, you will not benefit.

As bitcoin is king now all other altcoin should go down when the king go up.
But with the potential of ICO market hold Ether should be nice. And my advice that's hold 50/50 in your bag

I think both are promising. Their values, although may go up and down in a jiffy, are still generally going up and is improving by the second. However, if I were to choose, bitcoin would be my option, because it's more valued plus the market sees and recognizes the power of bitcoins in trades and transactions. Although ethereum is also on a good track, right now, it's on a lower level compared to that of bitcoin.

ETH is a nice coin and really well-based
BTC has gained its huge cost due to being the first in crypto world!

to the all these events with forks I thought that the ethereum will soon overtake the bitcoin, and now, with all, I do not know what to say

It can be said that this time BTC investment will bring more profit than ETH because BTC is the attention of investors when CME has accepted to open transaction with BTC. However, ETH in the future will not be inferior to BTC

Both bitcoin and ethereum have created their own value in the market.In the future, ETH will increase
more expensive value in market.

I like bitcoin more, it raise big time and it lowers down big time so profit is quite large.

I think according to current market situation bitcoin price is boosting day by day and you have to best option to invest in bitcoin instead of other cryptocurrency etherum or other bitcoin has great profit opportunity i think and the best option to invest and earn good profit from it.

I decided to leave most of my investments in ethereum but im already regretting that i didnt move it for the time of the fork. I know  BTC should drop soon but it would have been a nice profit.

stick to btc or if you want to  move from btc better to go NEO

Personally, I think that Ethereum will soon overtake the bitcoin itself, and it will be the main direction of user investment. I invested and judged it was worth it because it is constantly developing.

If you have plenty of Bitcoin, you can divide some of it for Ethereum. The point is to focus on something great (Bitcoin), while watching the little one (Ethereum) which is sure to be something big.

if everyone is still interested in Bitcoin over Eth since the value of Bitcoin is now rising rapidly, but we do not know if Eth will be remembering also in the coming year.

Today Bitcoin still shows how great it is — it has been constantly growing. Remember, just several weeks ago it was just a bit over 5 thousand dollars, and today it is almost $6400! Ether does not show its dynamic so vividly. However, I would invest into ETH better. It soon will explore again. Now or later.

I think having both Bitcoin and Ethereum in your portfolio is the best decision you can make (and almost everyone holds both). The percentage for each one will depend you, but i wouldn't go too far off 50/50 in case one of the two pump hard!

NEO doesn't have decimals. I have used it, I was like "WTF" how do I buy $1 worth of something if I only have 1 NEO? It is impossible.

I guess there's nothing wrong of choosing or using both coins at the same time. Business minded person doesn't matter one or more business to engage as long as it's profitable. The more the business to engage, the more profits to gain. However, speaking of business, we need to do deep research before to decide to join because there are so many scammers around so beware of them.

I think Bitcoin.But it depends on your size of the investment.Bitcoin is the best to make good profits in less time with fewer dollars.Ethereum will be good for long periods.
