why not everybody sell their bitcoin and buy etherium instead

[redhack]

Cant you just understand what you read. I dont say "there is nothing to do with bitcoin" I am saying ethereum is a value same as the bitcoin and it also has got some extra features.

First off newbie, Ethereum is highly centralized and most of the coins belong to limited people.
Second, Ethereum has shady operations previously, it seems that you don't know about them because you were not here. Read what happened when DAO is hacked, see yourself what Vitalik did. Nobody trust that kind of coin in Bitcoin business.
We are using Ethereum just for maximizing our gains. Ethereum is not a trusted coin anymore after that hardfork.

Some people just are not believing in ETH they rather invest in Bitcoin thats completely normal. Im also focused on Bitcoin, but not to other coins. I think that you can make great money out of btc.

I have also invested in altcoins, but i as i said before Im mostly focused on BTC, but if there is a good coin. Why should you not invest in it ?

That's hilarious.

Ethereum is better in many ways and thats true, faster transaction, smart contract and etc. Bitcoin has its value as a main currency on exchangeres and still i dont think that someone would want to dump all their bitcoins at once to get eth. ETH would have the same market cap as bitcoin sooner or later, but the growth would be little by little

Etherium is a better coin since it also has the smart contract feature. There is nothing that you can do with bitcoin but you cant with etherium. So why not all people sell their bitcoin and buy etherium.

No need to mentioned it is better because it has quality and people are attracted to ETH so i would like to say that we should need to use ETH coin because it has a great future and upcoming days it would reach 1000USD.

That is for -quick investments. Ethereum is not going to make you that much money if you don't have Bitcoin. Trading with the charts make the trends easy to locate.

Are you for real.
My only comment for this: Bitcoin is a currency. Ethereum is a platform 

[Quietman]

We all have freedom to  choose where to invest. If you think it's better to invest in etherium and other think its more okay to invest in bitcoin, then go. Most of us here already hold bitcoin for a long time and they already have a big profit on it. There's a bigger difference with the price of bitcoin and eth.

The security is poor for one thing It be hacked a couples of times now already

Wrong. Ethereum itself has not been hacked.

What you've been reading and seeing on reports are ICOs and shitcoins that do not have capable developers which resulted in loopholes in their coin making them vulnerable targets for theft.

A car that was stolen because the doors were left open and the key left inside is not the fault of the car manufacturer.

Because everyone has different beliefs and bitcoin and ethereum have their own communities, we can't impose on this, you say we can't do anything with bitcoin because just holding it is profitable

ETH is a worthy contender of bitcoin but that doesn't mean that people will sell off their long term holdings and buy ETH at this price. I know many people have scored bitcoin at a very low price and they are already sitting on a huge huge profit. I myself bought first bitcoin at $450 USD and I am already making a huge profit.

However, ETH is a good coin and a lot of people have started staking that coin as well. Seeing the popularity of ETH, coinbase and Blockchain.info has integrated their platform with ETH. So I am holding both bitcoin and ETH now as an investment. But bitcoin, being a pioneer of the crypto currency, is not going to die anytime soon. Instead the recent price drop will give an immense opportunity to the investors like us, to purchase bitcoin at lower price. Selling off bitcoin is not a resolution. Instead invest in both to be rewarded suitably.

Its intresting how many adresses owns Bitcoins

[g4r1n1m]

ethereum is not better than bitcoin, thats the main reason people not selling their bitcoins
its like to ask why people dont sell gold and buy silver, silver is better.
yes silver can be better in some cases
but gold has moree value, it has more demand and its harder to get.
thats the main reason .. the demand

[alikaya58]

Etherium is a lot to appreciate in the long run I think.There's just a little bit of time.

[ev3nout]

I wonder the same. Yeah, there's flaws...but that'll get better over time. Buy now while there's skepticism.

If you base your argument on smart contract feature alone and are already a fan of Ethereum then probably the coin will always be heavier than bitcoin for you. But I am basing on the entire existence of the two coins, their features and acceptability, and bitcoin is number one for me.

[gerrrr]

I think it good Bitcoin has been around much longer. More time to get out the bugs and settle down from any problems. Ethereum is a newer and it is still working out some matters, which others have already listed. Dao hack was just one big one everyone know about already.

[williamevanl]

Etherium could fail miserably as an experiment. It's down a lot (the network lags/suspends) because it doesn't handle the situation of supporting all these crap erc-20 token distributions. It will hit scaling problems even faster than Bitcoin and it might just turn out that its model isn't sustainable.

Not even Vitalik would tell you that Ether is better than Bitcoin, he'd tell you they are both crazy risky investments and to buy stocks and bonds. (Something to think about) He has also stated that it's not meant to replace Bitcoin or serve as a currency.

because etherieum is a scam with insiders, polo and condesk pumps

maybe etherium is a better coin but don't forget that bitcoin price is tempting every people to keep their bitcoin so I think people will hold their bitcoin as long as they can. beside that maybe people will sell with small or limit amount because they know that bitcoin in future will be expensive and they waiting that time to sell. there is few people that thinking about better coin like ethereum or the other coins but they are only thinking about the price of the coin. the most expensive coin, they will save it and the other coin, they will save it too.

[Golftech]

The principle that bitcoin already gather attention in an mainstream venue where ETH still trying to accomplish until ETH haven't supported by most of those business who already cater btc adoptions it still a big question whether we gonna transfer our btc to ETH but if ever things happen I will split my holdings too.
