Bitcoin or Ethereum ?,

[Low Sigma]

My take is that Ether will be the most used coin, look at the persistent volumes lately.
Yes, Bitcoin was first and it was a pioneer, while ETH is the next generation coin.

[Catmony]

so could we say bitcoins overrated for investing ? if not ,what was the best price for investing ?

are alt-coin better than btc in trading ? why ?

- Bitcoin is safe heaven for investment because price can't dump hard like other alts. For example ETH's price crashed 50% in less than a week $400 to $200. 

- Only few promising coins are good for long term holding, all other are just good for short term trading for quick profit.

[Rostchild]

Indeed BTC,
Bitcoin is getting better, ETH is getting too many ICO, cash will get out there to handle the startup cost.
I am a bit HODL for ETH (not planning to buy more now).

[FrueGreads]

I still think BTC is safer and better for long tern, but from all the other alt coins I would say ether seems legit and probably a good option as well for a long term investment. Normally altcoins are good for short term trade, because they keep getting pumped and dumped, when they are popular, but some stay stable and could be good options to hold. I have some Ether. I'm said I didn't bought when they were quite low, but I already have some profit with them.

Bitcoin any day ethereum is just a new coin and even having a active team the coin is still getting hacked while bitcoin was developed long ago and still hacking bitcoins from wallet isn't easy. Ethereum can be good for short term profits but in long run it is surely pure loss

[freeyourmind]

Why not hold them both. I have more ethereum at the moment but I am going to look into trading a portion of them with each other and see how it goes.

[Kevin77]

I have both Bitcoin and Ethereum but for another coin just use it for trading short and middle term, Bitcoin is the best coin for long term investment even is more than 5 years Bitcoin still the best.

Bitcoin and ethereum have a commendable growth in price and the users or investors of these currencies are happy with the gain they have given to them. Bitcoin beside big a long term investment is also high budgeted investment whereas ethereum is a lot more low budgeted and kind of a short term investment.

My advice will be to look at your budget and the time for which you could spare your money to invest with the potential growth of the currency and then decide yourself to where to invest.

I think that bitcoin is still favorite for investment and it is not overrated in fact its price value gat disturbed with the rumors about the hard fork and the segwit stuff. Thanks God it is now recovering to its original value.
It’s ideal price was some three days ago when it was around 1800 to 1900 dollars, even it is the right time to buy it because it will be increasing in near future.

[chutchmcgillicutty]

Both are good bets in my opinion.

Its safer to invest in both than just one.

Bitcoin seems to be safer of the two

Still highly risky investments no matter how you cut it

[Rahar02]

Both of it are a good coins to trade, if you have like $1000, then invest 60% on bitcoin and 40% on several altcoins but remember you should sell altcoins if it reach the highest peak, you should know when it comes.
But, you have to be patient with bitcoin as it will grows significant after August but it's okay to trade on uncertain price movements such as happened few days ago. Current price will increase a bit before it go down again, so, you may sell right now or wait to buy at the dip.

[raven7886]

Both are good as an long term investment as people who invested in ETH in last year have made huge profits and even in future it can go more higher so I don't see any risk in investing in ETH but I have more faith and trust in bitcoins as it will always be on the top of the charts.

No doubt that they both are good up to their own instinct. Both the bitcoin and ethereum are going in a good way and giving profit to their investors. LTC market price is a bit slow but people have made money with it too. It seems to me like bitcoin and ETH are the two main competitor, the reason for ETH growing up also involves one of factor that nowadays most of the ICO are started with ETH which proves that people have trust in ETH.

btc is more profitable as compared to ethereum but ethereum blockchain is more advanced than bitcoin blockchain. the reason is simple bitcoin being first and most popular cryptocurrency its price will rise otherwise ethereum feature are better than bitcoin.let see how segwit2x goes,it will further decide bitcoin price.

[isen99ono]

Just in my opinion, keep the best bitcoin for long-term investment because he has proven it and has gone a long way ahead of other coins.
Well indeed that eth is really powerful and full of charisma, he also has many coins standing on it
But do you realize when in exchange we finally exchange eth into bitcoin unit

are alt-coin better than btc in trading ? why ?

Because altcoin prices tend to be more fluctuate in the market every day or every week, pump and dump can come anytime is difficult to guess

For me i do not think eth is much better than bitcoin, we all know what bitcoin did for his 8 years of existence. You can say that ethereum blockchain is more advance because the transaction of ethereum is not congested unlike bitcoin transaction. I beleived that is has a positive result on the incoming split in bitcoin.

Bitcoin is gaining stability because of only one thing ~ High valuation for selling! What I mean by this is, bitcoin always holds big margin in its buying and selling price. Bitcoin will always go high enough from today's value to give you that perfect window to sell it.  So no we can not validate

bitcoins overrated for investing

. Moreover altcoins are dependent upon the bitcoin in someway another because they fluctuate as the market of bitcoin does. Altcoin won't be traded if something is wrong with bitcoin, for example., Segwit2x Phase that we are experiencing currently. So they are no better than BTC but they are dependent on it.

Both have several advantages but to say eth is better than bitcoin it is less precise, to my knowledge altcoin is made to cover the bitcoin shortages and also lately eth experienced hacked and there phishing sites.

My take is that Ether will be the most used coin, look at the persistent volumes lately.
Yes, Bitcoin was first and it was a pioneer, while ETH is the next generation coin.

Ethereum is a token creating platform and can be used as a smart contract and it is not a next generation coin. Bitcoin is and will be the lead coin no matter what and no other coin will be out classing bitcoin,to make Ether the most used coin,it has to be a scalable solution,lets see what their plans are and lets see when they will be switching the consensus protocol of Ethereum to POS.

[mmfiore]

Clearly the two. there is no problems with a cohabitation. Not the same goal.

I have 2/3  btc  / 1/3 eth, and more altcoins for upgrade both.

BTC is strong, it's clearly not a dinosaur.

Yes Bitcoin is the master for all altcoins. ETH is a fast growing coin, but it will not beat bitcoins in the race. But now investors put more confidence on ETH, and they are making that popular in the digital market. One day it will become another Bitcoin but it will take some time. Maybe in future, the litecoin will give competition to ETH.

[mklost]

I prefer btc its growth is more stable also eth is more like an alternative in the portfolio but without waiting beyond the hype.
