San Francisco-based Kraken, partnering with The Economist, initiated an interesting case study with university MBA groups from around the globe. The teams from multiple universities were asked to submit investment proposals for bitcoin or ether for a chance to win $10,000.Based on a five-year investment cycle, the groups were asked what would they do if they had $1 million USD to invest in either bitcoin, ether or both. The proposals describe how much the MBAs would invest in each and why they would choose a particular direction. Kraken founder and CEO Jesse Powell said is firm is providing this learning environment for people to get a better grasp of digital assets. https://news.bitcoin.com/university-choose-bitcoin-ethereum/

Those students who decided to invest in Ethereum are in for a rude awakening. The platform is broken to begin with and Vitalik Buterin could either be scamming himself by believing that Ethereum scale and that it will be a game changer or he is really scamming everyone because he knows deep down that what he created is a dud.

This is interesting, as we know that Bitcoin and Etherum has been debated in this industry over the last year, and always being a hot topic for us. This competition is also will teach students about cryptocurrency and it's development, and more people will know about it, however seems like bitcoin has many enthusiast than etherum as we can see on the article The majority of them gave bitcoin a 60-80% ratio over ethereum, I am not suprised that bitcoin will win this competition.

The outcome will be predictable, because most of them will split the risk and invest in both Bitcoin and Ethereum. Nobody knows at this stage, which of the two technologies will succeed. If I had to take a bet, I would stack my bet on Bitcoin pulling it through based on adoption and a better security track record.
I would not invest in Ethereum, because it forking hard. ^smile^

It's an MBA, so something like this being a practical question is definitely something that I find interesting for its usage. As for the actual results, chances are they'll have a hard time deciding, since both have so many ups and downs, along with a ton of issues with maintaining value points.
I'm expecting a stronger case in favor of Bitcoin, however the performance of ETH was definitely a factor back then, and likely isn't a factor anymore.

Yes exactly this way technology, education and lifestyle will go hand in hand. When university and school will come into usage of new technology then only other people will use it more. Era of next generation had began.

It is good news that the university students will know and use the crypto currency. When they graduate, they can use it.

you don't have to be academic to know which one to choose and how to choose them for investment. a combination of both is the best choice which also gives the best return.
bitcoin is good for long term investment and it is more trusted and has less risk of failure and also the fact that bitcoin is decentralized and has a better spread are two good things to consider.
on the other hand ethereum is good as long as it is in a pumping phase because it can go pretty high and give a nice return in short term but never long. and also the fact that it is centralized and has a terrible spread should be considered.

They have made a deep research before showing the results, but I would go too for bitcoin first and then for ethereum, because I think bitcoin is more stable than ethereum.

A good case study for an MBA program, probably, not all the students knows the cryptocurrency market. With this investment challenge, those students will learn something that they can apply in the real world. As we can see the vast majority choose for Bitcoin repartition between 60 to 80 instead of Ethereum.

Also expecting for Bitcoin to come out of this first, and I understand why they chose Ethereum as a second option. Despite it's previous problems, it's still the most interesting crypto-currency around imo.

Would definitely not recommend investing more than 5% of your Bitcoin holdings in any alt-coin. While Ethereum is popular, Litecoin and Dogecoin have been around longer with bigger userbase. Whenever a Bitcoin bubble happens, the alt coin prices crash. And if you look at the ROI on any alt-coin over the years, Bitcoin is a much better bet.

obviously it's bitcoin , I'm not sure why 22% went for ETH especially that's we are talking about investing but as someone stated above they shouldn't put BTC and ETH , they could select another one ETH suffered a lot this year , and the whole total supply thing makes it a bad investment in my opinion I would rather pick DOGE ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

i wouldn't put one dollar into ethereum over a five year time scale. five minutes, five weeks, maybe if it was looking buoyant for a while, but other than that i don't think it has a long term future. bitcoin has no shortage of gripes too but one thing i am confident about is that it'll be working just fine if it's still around by then. ethereum should've stayed a research project for many years until even attempting to unleash it. it still is effectively, with added pumps and dumps. none of that smells of an impressive future. Whenever a Bitcoin bubble happens, the alt coin prices crash. And if you look at the ROI on any alt-coin over the years, Bitcoin is a much better bet.
don't we really only have 2013 as a reference? i wouldn't call anything that's happened since to bitcoin a bubble. in 2013's case alts went even more crazy than bitcoin eventually.
