£500 to spend, on Ether or Bitcoin?

[djkyno]

This is not a big amount, so you can divide it between Bitcoin and Ethereum. Both are the best crypto currencies right now and both have the best potential and the biggest communities. Making all the eggs in just one basket is more risky

From my point of view I will consider if that investment is worth the risk and if I can profit a lot from it. So I'm referring to bitcoin as the ultimate choice for cryptocurrency investments. Ethereum might be a good competition to btc but still it can't replace bitcoin on its place even with a smaller transaction fees is given. So just invest it all to bitcoin worth of £500.

If have more than that I will definitely invest them in bitcoin, because as we see the price of bitcoin is growing more and more although some time ago the price fell down to as low as 3000 dollars but it regain its value and now once again it is round about 4000 US dollars, and I am sure that in the near future it will cross the limit of 5000 dollars. Therefore for me investment in bitcoin is far better.

Just split your investment to avoid huge loss in case of bear market.Why put all eggs in single basket? Make a smart investment for better ROI but dont forget to do your homework.Dont invest amount which you cant afford to lose..

It is right because not only ether but the bitcoin is the best currency now it is good to invest in bitcoin if you have 500$ because after some time like as if after 6 or 8 months you will sell your bitcoin then you will get the high profit from it.  Now the price of the bitcoin is more than 4500$ so it is the chance to increase your income using bitcoin and the profit of the bitcoin will grow as the time passing.

500 pounds is a low amount to spend on Bitcoin if you will use this amount for trading. For trading it is better if you buy Ether as with 500 pounds you will buy more than 1 Full Ether which you can use on almost every exchange to do trading. If you are thinking to invest for the long run, better buy bitcoin even low amounts and keep them in your wallet waiting together with many of us here when the price should go up and we will all be happy making some decent profits.

Yes.If you want to inverse This much higher value of dollars means, you can choose the bitcoin. Because the value of bitcoin is now around 3900$.Soon it will crossed the value of 5000$.If so you can get very huge profit from that. You may split the value of dollars and keep in profitable Altcoin.

I would invest all the money in Bitcoins. It's the most safe Crypto-Currency, the main one. Other currencies, even ETH, are just AltCoins created from Bitcoin source. Another option would be to invest biggest part of this money in BTC and a smallest part on ETH. In my opinion to hold Bitcoin on long term worth much more than ETH...

[fabrizoc]

BTC is so high atm, ?500 wouldn't do much for me. Unless I put the initial ?500 in BTC and added ?100 per month to it?!! But what if the BTC price doubles in a short period that would mean my buy would be peanuts.

So confusing

Bitcoin price for now is high , so if you would choose between ethereum and bitcoin for you to buy you can choose ethereum more because its price have more room to develop and to experience growth. But if you have the the capacity to deal with both currency you could try to buy a portion of ethereum and bitcoin.

Bitcoin is smartest choice as compare to any other bitcoin so invest in bitcoin that will give you long term benefits, profit rate is more impressive in bitcoins than any other coins and it is global known digital currency and investing in other involves risk and stay away from risk and upcoming days are the best days for the bitcoin investors.

Hi All,

I have just over £500 to spend and I'm not sure where I should be investing this.

Do I buy a small fraction of a bitcoin or buy 2 ethers?

What would you do?

I'm looking for some long term investment.

Also, i'm hoping to contribute £100 per month towards either one but not sure which direction I should be taking.


Many Thanks

I will better chose Ethereum, it's a platform which have a potenital of grow and ICO's always want their coin added to the Ethereum protocol, x30 for the last year shows Ethereum and it's better like investment as perspective cryptocurrency which have interest

for what you bother yourself by dividing your investment ,, I think more to invest in one place (coin) and if one moment happened the price suddenly down we can increase the investment amount ,, and keep repeat when back down .. until the moment where we will get multiple benefits

My suggestion is to invest into bitcoin because it will rise soon and will double this amount in term of digital currency. So invest and wait for the good times and bitcoin investors can secure more as compared to any other coin investor so make a mind and jump into pool of profiteers.

I think you should spend half to bitcoin and half to ether. Both of these two have different price variation and hard to predict which one will rise in the future. This method gives lesser risk and average profit. If you spend all your capital to one of these two, You will encounter greater risk but if your instinct is right, you might get a good profit. Still decide on yourself. Also, consider some references in making your decision. That way you can decide more accurately.

Hey
Recently the bitcoins are increasing at a very fast rate and no doubt it will increase even more thus I would suggest right now buy bitcoins you will be in profit...
Also eth is going down ... By mire than 10% and the current trend is in the favour of bitcoins..
Best of luck

[gamalzour]

it's my opinion that you should split it between them, they're both poised to rise right now and are both poised to be rising for the next year at the very least regardless of what happens in the financial climate. if you have the spare money to invest invest immediately and there's absolutely nothing wrong with a diverse portfolio, in fact you might even want to put a little bit into Ripple and dash but hey that's just one speculators advice. between the two you chose I think any serious investors response is hedge your bets.

Look at the market bitcoin is going viral now a days people are coming to invest so as you mentioned about invest so people are investing in decentralized world they will see many best things in their life in a future with bitcoin.

Make bitcoin first on prior list and then any other because the days of dump are gone and now it is crawling upward and will be at the record price and on that time you will be happy that you invested in it so without hesitation believe in bitcoin and invest there is no other profit giving coin like bitcoin so don’t get confused secure you future and invest.

[barhavsky]

i think better spend ur money for other altcoin. you can get more profit if you lucky find altcoin price's will increase.

[krisnt80]

I would avoid both of them for now, bitcoin should crash into 2000-3000 dollars at the next weeks, soo you might recover your money but it will take a bit till those happen, there are soo many new potencial coins wich can boom even with that two big crash that may happen with eth and btc, if you consider to do weekly trading i sugest to take a look into  others coins wich can allow you to make easy money while the storm still around.

Since you are like put into confusion upon deciding in which cryptocurrency will you put your £500, I think it will be a good move if you will just divide it into have a partially distribute those into both bitcoin and ethereum so that you can probably see the difference between the two and you, yourself can totally decide if after witnessing the difference is that you will still hold into those or you will choose between those two and decide focusing into just one cryptocurrency to invest your money.

[robchch]

I think BTC has the best chance of making greater gains; It has the brand name and it is the gateway coin used to buy most other alt coins. However your safest bet is to go halves in each. That way you won't miss out either way.

Bitcoin is known as good for long tern investment and Etherium is good for short term investments which means both eth and btc are ggood investments in their own way. So if you want to earn profit in an instant  go for etherium and if you're willing to wait for years and for bigger profit, it would be better if you'll invest that money to Bitcoin.

If I were you I would diversify it since both coins have a lot in it. Although that is the case, bitcoin might be the better choice because of the growing adoption rate when compared to ETH since bitcoin is legalized in some countries while ETH on the other hand is neither legal nor illegal for now in most countries. With both being held, potential profit would be faster since pumps and dumps are faster in eth for now, and btc is good to secure some value on your investment.

that is true , whenever you want to buy alt coins you should buy bitcoin first.

as only few exchange provides altcoin-usd use-altcoin pair , i can say very rare to see it. and that is makes bitcoin the most promising compared to ethereum itself as an alt coin , the growth between both pretty clear enough for me.

bitcoin far better , where ethereum struggling recently , just keep adjusting on bitcoin price. just go for bitcoin for sure.

You should try half half for a safe keep atleast you can grow two interest with a little regret  just little tho cause if one has grown or example eth grown much larger than last month and bitcoin didnt grow much but it grew thats a fair trade or rather a win win hand to make should try two for more chances to make because this two is still growing its still not too late now
