Ethereum does have the potential to surpass bitcoin but it will take the coin years to do so. Bitcoin being the pioneer has the first miver advantage over Ethereum and hence is more widely accepted in the financial market with its market capital of $110 billion. However, Ethereum is much more than an investment asset and can also be used as a token for smart, decentralised applications. Also, it can be used as a platform for posting new ICOs. The coin has shown 1100% gain in its market capital since its origin and has a very bright future in the coming years.

This is the best time to buy Ethereum when the market is at such a low. Ethereum is the best alt right now for a long term investment with a market capital of $21.63 billion. The coin has one of the best development teams behind it and since its origin, has shown a great increase in its market capital. The coin has now been adopted by big companies like Microsoft, Intel. Last year itself the coin showed profit gains of 1100%. It can easily cross the $1000 mark by the end of 2018 and can help you earn good profits in a short period of time.

The best advice for you will be to hold onto your coin. Though Bitcoin is still in a bubble, volatility has always been a major characteristic of the coin which helps you to earn good profits in a short period of time and hence makes the coin a good investment asset. Also, I believe that in the future, the coin is going to gain some stability so as to head towards being a mainstream currency and as it will gain more acceptance in the financial market, it will no longer under be a bubble.

Ethereum would be the best alt right now to invest in, especially when the market is at such a low. Since its origin in 2015, the coin has seen a growth of 3500% in its market itself and last year itself had profit gains of 1100%. The coin has also been well accepted in the financial market and is now adopted by big companies like Microsoft, Intel. The coin has a bright future and is the least risky alt to invest in right now.

The coins which I like the most on my portfolio are Litecoin, Monero.
Litecoin has shown a great stability over the past three years and since adoption by Coinbase, the coin has seen great increase in its market capital. Also, its blockchain of 2.5 minutes, helps in making transactions so much faster.
Monero is the best privacy coin out there and its complete anonymous nature helps one to make transactions which are very secure and the identity of sender and recipient is kept private. Also, it has one of the best development teams behind it and is a great potential coin to invest in.

Currently, when the market is at such a low, I believe it is the best opportunity to enter in Bitcoin and earn maximum profits.
Bitcoin being the pioneer of the cryptocurrencies, was the first coin to bring forward the idea of a digital, cashless society and has gained massive acceptance in the financial market since its origin. The coin is also heading towards being a mainstream currency right now and has the potential to cross the $10000 mark by the end of 2018. It is a good coin and I am expecting great returns from it in the future.

Ethereum is the best alt right now and is the most potential coin for a long term investment. I find the coin's idea of smart and ledger contracts which can hold state and arbitrary code quite revolutionary.
The coin is the second most popular coin right now and with a market capital of $23.8 billion, has the potential to cross the $700 mark by the end of 2018. Last year itself, the coin has shown profit gains of 1100%. It is a great coin and I am expecting good returns from it.

Though Ethereum has a lower market value than Bitcoin, I believe it is much better than the pioneer. The coin with its back end security provides fraud free transactions and hence is more secure than Bitcoin.
Also, not only as an investment asset, it is also used as a platform for posting new ICOs and the coin can also be used as a token for smart, decentralised applications.
The coin has seen massive acceptance in the financial market and has the potential to cross the $1000 mark by the end of 2018.

Ethereum is my favorite coin. I find its idea of smart and ledger contracts which can hold state and arbitrary code quite revolutionary and also like its blockchain with its back end security. It makes transactions through the coin secure.

Ethereum is the most popular alt and has now gained acceptance among big companies like Microsoft, Intel, JP Morgan and can easily cross the $1000 mark by the end of 2018.
Other good alts are Litecoin, Monero, Stellar. You can expect good amount of profits from these coins.

Bitcoin has brought forward the idea of a digital, cashless society and the coin has great prospects in the future but currently the coin is not worth to be a currency, though it is a great investment asset.
Bitcoin is too volatile to be a currency right now. A strong economy needs a stable currency. However, the coin's blockchain which ensures secure transactions throughout the world is a great feature of the coin.
Also, another obstacle is the coin's decentralised nature which makes it not bound to any rules and regulations but at the same time can be a disadvantage for the coin.

Both the coins show great statistics right now and have great potential.
So, better to invest in both rather than choosing one as it decreases the risk and can can also increase the amount of profit long term.
Bitcoin is the most widely accepted coin in the financial market and is also heading towards being a mainstream currency. So, the coin has good future prospects.
Similarly, Ethereum with a market capital of $24 billion, can easily cross the $1000 mark by the end of 2018. It is the best alt out there and a good coin to invest in.

According to me, the most promising coin for a long term investment is Ethereum. The coin is the most popular crypto and has one of the best development teams behind it. It currently has a market capital of $23.3 billion and can cross the $700 mark easily in the next few months.
I find the coin's idea of smart and ledger contracts which can hold state and arbitrary code quite revolutionary. It is also a great coin for making transactions as it provides fraud free transactions due to its back end security.
It is a good potential coin and I am expecting good returns from it.

To invest in a crypto,
I look at its market capital. A coin with a good market capital is a less risky investment.
I look at the successful projects that the coin is undergoing and how well accepted the coin is in the financial market.
Statistics also play a major role in choosing the coin as it can tell whether the coin is in a bubble or not and also if it not just a pump and dump coin.

Hold.
After the big drop, the market is still in a recovery phase. And Volatility has always been a part of cryptocurrencies and that's what make it profitable.
Invest in good potential coins. For minimum risk I will advise risking in one of the top 10 coins. I prefer Ethereum the most. With one of the best development teams behind it and back end security and a great blockchain, the coin has the potential to cross the $1000 mark by the end of 2018 and is a great coin to hold onto.

Advantages:
Being the pioneer, the coin is the oldest and most successful cryptocurrency out there and hence is considered as a brand name for other cryptos.
The coin is the least risky coin for a long term investment.
Disadvantages:
Having a blockchain of 10 minutes, the coin takes a lot of time for making transactions.
Due to its pseudoanonymous nature, the coin is not that secure in comparison to other coins.
Having a volatile nature, the coin is risky to invest in.

Ethereum does have the potential but it will take the coin years to do so. Bitcoin being the pioneer of the cryptocurrencies, has the first mover advantage.
Ethereum is a great coin. On one hand, where Bitcoin transactions are not so secure, Ethereum provides guaranteed fraud free transactions. Not only this, the coin can also be used as a token for smart, decentralised applications. It is also used as a platform for posting new ICOs. Thr coin with a market capital of $21.4 billion, has the potential to cross the $1000 mark by the end of 2018.

I am using Ethereum for various purposes, the main being an investment asset as the coin is the best for a long term investment.
The coin also has a back end security and a very secure blockchain. Hence, I use the coin for making transactions throughout the world. Due to its anonymous nature, the transactions are secure and private.
I have used the coin once as a token for smart and decentralised applications.
It is a great coin and has a lot of potential in the future.

According to the current statistics, the coin with a market capital of $109.7 billion, has the potential to cross the $10,000 mark by the end of the year 2018 but being too volatile, one can never be too sure.
The coin can also head towards being a mainstream currency in the future but for that the coin has to gain some stability as a strong economy needs a stable currency.
According to me, in the future, the coin is also going to be more widely accepted in the financial market and overcome some of its fallbacks like hacks and unsecure transactions.

Yes it is too risky.
At present, the crypto market is very volatile and hence investing in one coin can lead to more loss than investing in 2-3 coins as every coin has different stats going on currently. Some coin is seeing an increase and some coin is seeing a decrease in its market capital.
You can consider Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero to invest in as these coins have great potential. Ethereum has a potential to cross the $1000 mark by the end of 2018 and is the best alt right now. The coin holds a market capital of $21.8 billion and is also been adopted by major companies like Microsoft, Intel. It is good coin to invest in.
