I am in dilemma. Should buy ETH and hold it or buy bitcoin and hold it.Which one do you thing going to give best and high return in next one year?

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

BTC if you care about your money.
ETH if you want to gamble in a pure speculation coin that realistically has absolutely no usage right now.

Buy bitcoin and hold it, at least if you know the future price of ethereum and you must buy some of them. Based on my analyzation and it will get a little decrease ASAP(ETH).  Wink

Well ETH has the potential to be involved in everything thanks to its Smart Contracts and easy programming. I had some in ETH too but took it out only because BTC is limited hence the greater chance of price increase. ETH are not capped, so even if they get valuable they'll just mint more.

I think I ould choose to Buy BTC in my opinion. Bitcoin is poised to appreciate more this year and I read somewhere that it will reach $1,600++ dollars this year. I read also that Japan will accept bitcoin as payments and Philippines is also following. I think its a great opportunity ahead with bitcoin.

For me I recommend you to choose Bitcoin while it's hot because this is the year we will go to the moon. Why not take the opportunity to buy despite the price is high right now. Ethereum still in a nutshell but it's worth to invest though, a little. Don't risk your money if you can't afford to take with your investment.

I am trying to get and maintain 70/30 BTC/ETH this year

Eventually going to 70/25/5 BTC/ETH/Altcoins beginning 2018

My main reason for this is that Kraken held a survey under Business Universities asking 800 students how they would invest BTC/ETH percentage wise. Most students chose 70/30. You can find the results here on Kraken website (no referral link or anything):

the only safe investment among cryptocurrencies, specially when you are thinking long term is bitcoin and nothing else.
other altcoins can be good too such as litecoin and monero and even ethereum but it is best if you treat them in short term not long. meaning buy in a dip and sell when they rise to add to your bitcoin holding.

ethereum can be profitable but it is full of problems and has some bugs too. there are some good news on the way and it may be pumped again, but i am waiting for a good opportunity to get in and seek profit. for now bitcoin price is rising up again and in case it rises suddenly and big, ethereum price may drop.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

That's not going to give you a good return in short term of time, though, those things you mentioned above just a pure speculation. As have been stated by OP that he's looking for best and high return within one year and I guess altcoin will be suited well for him rather than bitcoin. best and high return means he needs the volatility and regardless of the risk which he may burden while trading the coin or holding and yeah I choose Ethereum instead for OP.

this is not a dillema bro, how can you compare the king to an altcoin? bitcoin is the strongest and most accepted and most mined, also just buy bitcoin if you want to have a secure fortune in the future, altcoin are only there to make you more rich in bitcoin, trust me they are not stable and are not meant to remain in circulation forever

Totally agreeing with Ayers on this case. I Consider doing the same, eventually all my altcoins and ETH is ending up as BTC. This comes from a buy and hold kinda guy.

i don't see a huge amount of upside with eth for a while. it can't have the super pump it had last year again. if you're looking to gamble put a lower ratio in the top 10 coins at poloniex. more potential return with less risk.

No you should look at what tezos is building because it has the potential to overtake ETH... why? gov in the protocol... consensus on hardforks and absorb future tech

if you want the possibility of big returns with high risk, there are better coins than ETH... hold bitcoin or go for something that can really make you rich in a few years.
do you see ETH going to 1000%? i dont. maybe some profit, but nothing extraordinary... so to me, doesnt worth the risk.

Everything is gamble, even BTC. You can invest in every coin which has good volume of trade and has high position in market capitalization..Alts have better return in every case. BTC is more adopted and accepted but slower in terms of returning of invested.

I saw all those videos, very interesting indeed,i tend to agree with them about the 70%-30% long term. Also if someone choose to invest in other altcoins it should be money he doesnt count important short term

I dont think thats true, most people only care about bump and dump, not discussing about actual prospects of BTC, ETH or any other coin
