10 ETH or 1 BTC?

[bustomi]

Split your investments 50:50 or 30:70 in favor of Bitcoin. Also after the fork Bitcoin on the main chain might go down considerably in price so you could buy then and net more profit.

this was good strategy to do some invesment on cryptocurrency, if both price go pump, then more profit we will get then only invesment on one platform

there will be big icos in september with eth. so, eth will pump like june. it can go to 500 dollars in the end of the year. and there is a dump sprculation in btc in november because of segwit.

so, i choose 10 eth.

yeah me too. i think right now i will also prefer eth over btc and eth will be new badass in the field of cryptocurrency after bitcoin.
we have seen the way price of the bitcoin shoots up in no time and after seeing so much growth of bitcoin in that time and now i think its time for eth to shoot up like this. so, i prever 10 eth over 1 btc because it has enough potential that it will be able to give a huge profit in the future.
 we will see its result at the end of this year or at the start of next near.

[Geoff999]

Yeah I agree with many of these comments,

Eth would be my choice, its used as a fuel to buy into ICO coins, if you find a good coin you like (for example i bought into the Bitquence ICO) you can then use 1-2 eth each one and either make a decent return (40 x on bitquence) or use the coins themselves for the intended purposes.

Thinking about volatility, ETH may now bear the advantages. BTC just hits it ATH and seem to be stagnant for a pretty long time and reach for another level fo ATH, while in the other side, ETH is now currently on its low point.
Beside that, any ICO which use ETH smart contract will pump the demands, that's simply an additional positive point for ETH, just my 2 cents tho.

Is that the reason why ETH is so high?

[PokerDiceMan]

ETH price this now 0.08 bitcoin/eth
so 10 ETH only 0.8 bitcoin, so iam still chose 1 bitcoin

[secdark]

Agree with you pal. Still the value of bitcoin is bigger than eth but take note the price of eth has reach 0.1btc this year so there will be a chance of.coming back.of eth sooner or.later . Though if we are talking.the price right now lot.of us still chose bitcoin if the price is .2btc of eth then.we will choose eth though

[Ewox]

We all have different points of view and it really is up to the OP on which coins he would choose to invest in. But if I were in his shoe, the most practical thing to do would be to divide your coins and invest in both of these coins. In that way, you have like a win-win strategy. But that's just me though, or you could choose whichever you think you could benefit most from.

[Uhde]

Bitcoin is the main Crypto-Currency, the best one. Some people like to invest in ETH or diversify funds among different currencies, but I personally would prefer for now to put all my tickets in BTC. The price will probably increase a lot in few months (who knows, maybe 50%-100%), I'm not sure if ETH has the same potential... I don't think so.

1 BTC worth much more than 10 or even 100 ETH.  

Especially because you want to put it into a cold wallet for at least 5 years, BTC potential is huge on long term.

What a wrong comment. You say you're not sure if ETH has the potential. How about the price rally that ETH made between $15 and $250 within only couple of weeks. ETH has more potential than bitcoin. For the question, ETH can't pass 1:7 ratio with bitcoin. This means 7 ETH can be equal to 1 bitcoin, but no more. This is my personal calculation. Now 12-13 ETH is 1 BTC.

I think ethereum already used its potential this year and it is valued now. Maybe not over valued but nobody can say that ethereum price is cheap now. Same story for bitcoin. The price raised so much this year... a hard decision

It would really be a hard decision on choosing since no one would ever know on the potential increase later on but comparing them on possible movements and possible income on their slightest movement I would really go for ETH since it do have smaller value than bitcoin and a slight movement will really make some good impact on your holding considering on the volume.

[SonnetStar]

to be honest I feel like another dip is coming tho exactly when and how much is anyone's guess.

To be safe I would do 1/3 erh, 1/3 in btc and 1/3 in tether

hard decision but if looking on its chart eth went to .2btc and if you have 10 eth you will be able to have 2btc maybe before end of this year you are just investing to grow more your btc and with those ico which will be on its way eth will grow more so I think eth will be a good in both ways.

[layoutph]

Nice question, I think the best answer is 10 ETH. Do not under estimate this coin. Someday It may go close to the price of Bitcoin, so 5 ETH might be equal to 1BTC.

[realhobo669]

Diversification is good
20% BTC
20% Ether
20% ICO
40% other Altcoins

[Antivoid]

 i used to like eth cause it has pumped so much in the past half year, but now i prefer to btc since the btc is so steablize and it shall be the king for a long term

[Balmtand]

I have exchanged about 40% of my Bitcoin into Bitcoin Cash. The transaction confirmation is faster with BCC.

[Tolrem]

How about half a BTC and 5 ETH. Seems logical... It would be ridiculous to bet everything on BTC atm. It's a real joke.

[Cootie]

I think i'll go with 1 bitcoin. My reason is that you can conveniently transact through bitcoin. Unlike any other coins, you don't have the need to put another alt coin to get the cash or cash it out, while other alt coins need exchange fees through another alt coin. And also, since bitcoin is a bit popular, i'm confident to use this cryptocurrency. You can feel secured in using bitcoin than using any other alt coin, even it has some vulnerabilities,you can still rely on bitcoin.

[Silberman]

With $3000 to invest, is there any advantages to either, with the expectations/hopes that they both will continue to grow?  Just trying to see what others would do, as I plan to let this initial investment sit for 5yrs minimum in a cold wallet.

Thanks ladies and gents!

If i invest 3k$ i put it all in bitcoin why bitcoin is a major of cryptocurrency his no.1 in crypto.. No one other to stop price of bitcoin... If u check the price of bitcoin was 2009 is only .08$ now 2017 is 4k$ so i think after the 2017 will pump it again if u hold in 5yrs i think 100k$ per bitcoin in 2022.. Gudluck

I think it depends on your desire for risk, putting all in bitcoin is the safest bet you can make in crypto currencies, personally I think a better option for those that want to play it safe and still get good profits could be to invest in some well established altcoins, Litecoin, waves and lisk are my top choices if I had 3000 dollars to invest and for those that love the risk they could always invest in ICOs and see how they perform.

[Ultegra134]

A good alternative would be 50/50 of both, it's less risky. Although, in this case I would definitely go for 1 BTC, sounds like an a lot safer option too. Moreover, it's worth more than 10 ETH, even if ETH's price returns back to $400s.
