Is it better to invest into ethreum which has proved to be the most profitable and most stable altcoins until the vet recent dip and on the other hand we have bitcoin which is again in the stage of bullish ride.?

I am holding both of them at the same time. The percentage can change according to market conditions.
I have sold some of my ETH (%50) to buy Tether now but when the market will rise I am planning to rebuy some more ETH.

Both coins are good to invest when come to conclusion whether this or that means always first preference goes to Bitcoin only. Because the bitcoin is the easy way to earn money in short time. Ethereum is also good but it suits for long term investment. Holding bitcoin for a long time will give you more benefits. Always choose bitcoin for better results.

You should not post about altcoins outside the altcoin section.



You didn't listen hearing 2 months ago in USA? All ICOs are securities. All ICO organizers will sooner or later have to pay their debt to the society.   ETH only use is making ICOs.   So when there will be none anymore you wil get your answer which coin is better.

Cardano.

If you look at the current exchange rate as well as the valuation of the experts, I advise you to invest in Bitcoin instead of Ethereum because the current Bitcoin and Ethereum rates are down, but the Bitcoin exchange rate seems to decrease slightly more and the trend of exchange rates greater than Ethererum. So if you want to invest, you divide 70% of your investment in Bitcoin and 30% of your investment in Ethererum.

At least you should change the title and don't put a question mark on it if you chose Ethereum as a better investment. And this topic isn't the right place here in speculations, move to the most appropriate section and that is the Altcoin's.

This is going to be a big down for ETH because of these regulations.

WOW! It's an interesting thing. Well, maybe I prefer the bitcoin in Eth. Why? Because bitcoin is the mother of all coins, although both have their respective advantages. Bitcoin has always been the benchmark or other coin price trend, and probably the first coin I'll buy is bitcoin, and the second eth, then litecoins.

I'd prefer Bitcoin, but I would advise you to invest in both of them, the percent is up to you, you could go 50/50 percent Bitcoin/Eth. It's not ideal to put all eggs in one basket.

Ethereum is better for those miners who mine ethereum, but for other people who are using bitcoin for daily business, they choose bitcoin because bitcoin is more acceptable than ethereum.

For me, I have them both ethereum and bitcoin because I invest for GPU and Antminer to mine those coins.

If we are talking about profitability I mining bitcoin will be more profitable than GPU mining because the graphics card is more expensive than the ASIC hardware that I bought just last year.
For market price both of them are good. Just make sure that you know the basic ways of buying low and sell high.
The price movement of bitcoin is higher than the price movement of ethereum.

I don't think if that's the reasons why ethereum drop a lot. If you can check the price movement of ethereum from the beginning of this year it is just like the same movement or graph as bitcoin.
So if what is the price movement of the ethereum, it is also the same as bitcoin.

Both ETH and BTC have high adoption, these two coins can't die overnight or turn into scam so you should invest in them. ETH might give you more ROI but ETH price is tied with bitcoin price so whenever bitcoin will start to surge, ETH price will also pump. So basically you will make profit from either of them in long term, both will pump at same time.

Ethereum is crap. All shitcoins are crap.

Buy Bitcoin and only Bitcoin.

bitcoin or ethereum are both equally good and profitable, it's up to you to choose which one. if many holders are like or thought, they will tell you to invest your money in both. oh shit! come on men! I think you also have your choice, I am quite annoyed to see again the same thread for the umpteenth time.

This may be good for ETH, it's very tempting but with bitcoin at the moment I think it's still very tempting, I prefer bitcoin because every coin has a difficult phase or wakes up every year, when bitcoin has found a bright spot and shows a very sharp rise , that's enough to keep them silent.

for me if i have money that not needed in a moment then i prefer both to invest ' cause both eth and bitcoin is still promising nowadays, but on bitcoin need to monitor always the price 'cause the volatility  to hard to predict due to some whales in the market that always manipulate the price.  which is  causes people to panic sell . So much better invest short term on it and monitor always our profits if we gained enough on it to sell it in right time ,and also when it comes to ETH  maybe it's good  for long term 'cause the price still down but surely it will surge.

There are some technical differences in technologies that support the Bitcoin and Ethereum platforms, but in the early stages of this project, they are more or less the same. As these projects will grow, the differences may become much more tangible and can affect the direction of their own goals.

Surprised nobody ripped on the fact OP spelled Ethereum "Ethreum" but okay. I think you should go for Bitcoin because you can't take enough time to spell check and if you can't do that, I doubt you will look and do research. Am kidding of course but I would still go for Bitcoin.

Id wait till after the drop to $30 to enter. No point paying these insane prices.

it has neither been most profitable nor most stable altcoin! i don't know where you got that from!!!
the most profitable altcoin are those with the biggest pumps, and small altcoins have always been the most profitable ones, specifically those that  went from 0.01 satoshi up to 5000 satoshi last year. and it is not stable either, a pump from 0.06BTC to 0.15BTC and then dump down to 0.05BTC is not called "stable"...

bitcoin is not on any ride right now. and as far as investment goes you invest in something that has real potential not something that is going up and down based on hype and pump and dumps. and bitcoin is the only thing that has "real potential".

Why not choose both because those two great coin can really deliver good profit for you.
Actually both coins are in the bearish pattern and we cannot say when it will go back high.


woaah, too dump for this one well good luck on your plan and hope you will not wait for a decade.

it seems you are not aware of Blessing in disguise on bitcoin, everyone will definitely choose bitcoin rather than ethereum. yes, although ethereum looks like a very promising coin and has a pretty good stability it will still be defeated by bitcoin. many know that bitcoin is more than anything. we know bitcoin is trying to catch the bull market, if at any time bitcoin has been out of the bear market this ethereum is not a problem. I think bitcoin is superior to the future.

Profitable is depan on your capital, if you have a big capital yes you can have big profit. And you ask to me what have a big profit between investment on ethereum and bitcoin.

 I will say it's depen on your capital, if you have a capital money for example your capital is $1000 it will good you choose ethereum for investment, because the price ethereum less than $1000.

And otherwise if you have a big capital bitcoin is good for your choice, you can buy some bitcoin for investment. And you can choose strategy shor term investment, and you must often the movement price.

ETH is valued beyond it's potential similarly to bitcoin. A lot of the old coins are over-valued when considering their technical attributes and practical potential, while several new coins are the exact opposite under-valued.
It was like that with ETH in 2015, when it was highly under valued to under 1$, while the tech showed much potential. Now 460$ is still over-valued, since the tech is showing it's limits. A lot new tech is out there that promise faster and cheaper solutions but are currently worthless when compared to legacy cryptos market size. In around 5 years, those who made a bet on those risky little coins with brave visions, will be the biggest winners. Pure tech. efficiency always prevails greed and religious fanaticism.

Well this figure of $30 does not sound to be real as we know it cannot drop down that much lesser so I would rather invest when it is $500 and try to sell it when the value goes around $1000 instead of waiting for the value to come down to unrealistic figure.

Yeah this would have been possible if this user would have said this at the initial stages of ethreum or bitcoin but still he can try his luck into some of the altcoins as you never know altcoins might give good profit.

No one can make your decision for you and it totally depends on your own preference. If you prefer an inflationary coin to a deflationary coin, then you are free to choose Ethereum over bitcoin, but if it is the other way round, then you know what to do.

There is no harm in choosing both anyway which is the science of diversification, most especially if you are not sure, but personally, I will always place more edge on bitcoin over Ethereum. Just my own take, so the rest is left for you to decide on your own.

you say altcoin is clear altcoin arguably Ethereum is the answer and it seems that i know for bitcoin it is the center of digtal currency of all currencies digital cryptocurrency current so its parent is bitcoin, for investment i prefer to invest in bitcoin.

I think all coin cryptocurrency can not to move stable there will definitely be a price game whether it is up or down that there must be a price move because cryptocurrency has a very limited total supply that makes everyone scramble want to have the coin. and if I was told to vote then I would prefer to have Bitcoin because I think the stable movement is bitcoin.

We can not argue enough that bitcoin is the real prominent one in the Cryptocurrency market that we should support more than anything else, Right now if we look at Ethereum it dip from $1300 USD to $450 USD this year and I don't think this dip is all because of bitcoin's dip there is a reason behind this but I don't really know what it can be, That is why bitcoin is a stable investment even if it keeps on dipping.

for a quick term investment I think eth, but if in a very long term better bitcoin. both have a very good reputation and are profitable for us to invest.

Bitcoin has good reputation but about ETH. One that ETH still alive is because ICO craze but their security is not good. ETH reputation is not the same unlike it was first introduce. Smart contract is a brilliant idea but keeping safe all the tokens created on their platform is not secured.

this looks very serious sir, if bitcoin succeeds in bullish stage, then coins like ethereum will carry over increase according to me. we can not say that coin ethereum is the best and stable, if bitcoin gets out of this mess, I think ethereum will follow the bitcoin price trend. we all know that, bitcoin and ethereum have been rivals for a long time.

Ethereum or bitcoin always fluctuates the value for long now. Even bitcoin is in the stage of bullish ride, dont you think ethereum not? They are in bullish ride actually, also it really depends on the person in which you can gain big in this cryptocurrency.

I think both coins do have good potential and have lots of users.
So until now Bitcoin and ETH are still a very profitable investment place for many people.
So i don't feel afraid to invest on both coins, because i believe both are equally profitable for long-term investments.

For me the two are very useful to make a profit, only the difference with the obvious bitcoin price currently dominates, both of which are very useful to me, there is no difference in favorable terms, but I prefer bitcoin to invest some of my money for bitcoin, because I believes that bitcoin will rise by the end of the year.

Now it is terrible to make new investments. It seems to me that it is better to use bitcoin for new investments. But if you already have a stock of bitcoin and eth I recommend selling for the daily needs of bitcoin. The potential of this coin is now a maximum of x2. Potential eth x3-x4. But the first will show the growth of bitcoin. If you are limited in time then invest in bitcoin.

There are still other altcoins that has the potential to earn money. Whether bitcoin or ethereum, think of these two if which really is on top always among other cryptocurrency. I see the big potential in bitcoin it may bearish trend, more likely it can rise eventually.

I'll stay with bitcoin, it's still my first choice. I'm not saying that Etherum is not a good coin, just the opposite, but still I don't think it can achieve the value and popularity that bitcoin has. And it will be not so implemented in real life.
But Ethereum is a good choice if you want to diversify your investments.

Always bitcoin.I agree Ethereum is good potential and stable altcoin as compared to other in cryptocurrency.But not even single coin can replace the bitcoin.Bitcoin is the best short term asset in this crypto market.
Now the price of bitcoin is started to reduce and it's good time to inverse in bitcoin.In crypto news,I had found .Bitcoin will reach 11,000$ by the end of this month.

What will push bitcoin to 11000 dollars? I dont see it happening, there is no new interest, no new people, and the ones that are in afe just waiting to see what happens. There were a few good news lately, like france wants to embrace blockchain tech, then congress of US that was positive about blockchain, G20 positive, CBOE letters to SEC, and nothing, price is going down... Seems the ,market wants to push out all those that are here for a quick buck

Well, c'mon guys there is no reason to compare those two big cryptocurrencies. Even though Bitcoin is slightly weaker this time, it doesn't mean Ethereum is much better for some reasons. I'd rather to pick both of them rather than shit-talking about it.

The only use case for Ethereum thus far is the issue of Initial Coin Offerings, other than that I have not seen anyone running smart contracts on the regular through the Ethereum platform or smart contracts period. So far there aren't many use cases for it, and I believe Bitcoin will eventually overtake Ethereum with sidechains.

At some point most altcoins will be irrelevant, which is why Bitcoin is still the one and only long term hold in crypto, everything else is a gamble.

Investment in Bitcoin and ethereum are all profitable no doubt for so many people have testify this fact before now and i am also a living testimony. As at this last year ethereum value was below  $100 and whoever invest during that must have made huge profit before now so.e thing with Bitcoin.

Both are equally important and valued. Best is to keep them all. Simple speaking bitcoin is used for every trade but ethereum is more for ICO, and we have few ICO announcement per day.
Best is to keep them both and have them both.

For me, its both. I love both Bitcoin and Ethereum. I know it may seems as if Ethereum is not leading anywhere but there are still high chances and potentials that it will become among the best during the long run in years to come cause by that time, a lot of coins will disappear but bitcoin and Ethereum will stand. And of course bitcoin will continue to lead as the number one best cryptocurrency.

Lol. Talk of some of the competitions of Ethereum. Honestly, the way I see it, I would rather always have more in bitcoin than any other altcoin. Ethereum has huge competitors even though it is already established in a way, but whether we like it or not, it will still keep fighting for that spot as a preferred smart contract platform. Regardless of these, no one can predict the future, so we best just leave it as it is and see how things turn out, which makes finally diversifying not a bad option for every crypto investors as there are multiple promising coins are available and most importantly still in early phases itself.

well for me both is good to hold even though ethereum and bitcoin, suffering nowadays in the market because of some issues. , but it doesn't matter to me 'cause I'm still  believing on its promises. And the fact is it will recover again and again after the worst situation which is no need to worry because it's always happened.  Just be patient with it and be ready to sell when the price rocketed .

I prefer to have Ethereum rather than bitcoin because Ethereum has a cheaper price than bitcoin but cheaper prices are not bad Ethereum has a very good developer and proves to be a payment on all the ICO that can certainly trigger Ethereum price increase.

Well, that was only in the USA, and some other countries like China. But that does not mean because of that, it would lose its value, since ICOs may still be operational in some other countries, which is what most ICOs are doing now anyway. They are moving to countries like Singapore where there is leniency as regarding the issue of ICOs. Although, the way Ethereum is fashioned as an inflationary one, gives it lesser advantage as far as I am concerned, so my huge bet is always on btc.

They are both solid, so I do not see any reason why anyone cannot decide to hold both, but from here to there, I still prefer bitcoin (being deflationary) to Ethereum, so in that case, I believe in always holding more of bitcoin which is the legacy coin and then holding some small value in other altcoins which apparently includes Ethereum. These days that the competition is even growing hugely for Ethereum, let's see how the market plays out for it.

IMO, ETH may surprise many people since it can beat LTC and able reach top 3 on coincapmarket.
If I remember correctly, 3 years ago, only BTC and LTC in my mind to start invest but for now, ETH already well known ( even being use for Microsoft Project )

Personally I invest on both of them because they have more potential rather than other coin !

I'd choose bitcoin. It has proven it strength and effeciency for quite sometime now!
