Hold ETH or exchange it for BTC and hold BTC?

[TheFirstOfHisName]

So, the title is pretty much self explanatory. If you have an x-amount of ETH, would it be more wise to trade that for BTC and hold BTC or will ETH rise faster then BTC?

Example:

If you have 1000 USD worth of ETH - that's 3,5 ETH or so. 300 usd per ETH.
If you trade this for BTC, you have 1000 USD worth of BTC, so 0.15 BTC or something around 6000 usd per BTC.

Which one is more likely to make your 1000 USD go 2000 USD? Will ETH see 600 USD any time soon - or let me ask it differently -> is it more likely that BTC goes 12000 USD then 600 USD per ETH? What do you guys think and what would you do?

That's a difficult one: Ethereum is pretty low compared to it's all time high paired to Bitcoin but it didn't go up as many expected with the October fork. And Bitcoin on the other hand is on it's all time high right now. Perhaps it's better to wait and see where Bitcoin is going in terms of correction after fork before making that trade.

On the long run? I don't know what the potential will be of Ethereum: it's stuck around it's current price for a long time now. In terms of investment, Ethereum going for 1000 dollar per ETH would mean 3,5x your investment. At this point to get that return with Bitcoin it needs to go to 18K dollars. So in the long run it looks more likely to 3,5X your investment with Ethereum then with Bitcoin to be honest but I dont know because ETH is pretty much doing nothing in price lately.

For altcoins; market is fixed to USD for few months. Check eth price and Waves price they are all fixed to 4-5$ and 300$.
bitcoin price is rising and alt coin prices are dumping. what a nice ecosystem created by nobody.

Tough one to answer. ETH could see huge gains in the next few years. Either way its never good to keep all your eggs in one basket. Its good to divest so either buy into the other or liquidate some funds into BTC if you really want in on it. At the end of the day its your money and only your decision to make..

[CodyAlfaridzi]

Bitcoin is definitely the right one to hold right now. The recent rise has made all altcoin, including ETH, goes down. If I were you I'd sell those ETH to BTC immediately. BTC is in a good momentum right now, expect $7K-$8K before the end of the year. Besides that, there is an incentive of getting free forked coin (Segwit 2X - B2X) if you're holding Bitcoin before the fork. I predict B2X price will hover at around 0.1BTC for some time, it means an easy way to gain your BTC holding by 10%. I suspect that this fork event is one of the reason BTC price rising constantly this past month.

Its hard to point out which of those two would able to hit up double their recent price. Doubling possible on both candidates but i would go for ETH since its price isnt still high enough compared to bitcoin which would able to reach out easily but the situation on ETH ecosystem where there are lots of ICO or coin owners do tend to dump ETH once they accumulate enough which the thing pull down the price which it cant really increase easily.For now if you do have ETH then just let it be but if you do tend to convert to bitcoin then its your choice.

[onrise]

At present I would convert the ETH to btc and invest in it because considering the past couple of months ETH has not being giving the real value for money as the price is not rising much and infact it has fallen a bit. While on other hand btc is continuously rising and making the new high every time and worth to get some profits out of this rise.

[BitSat]

Currently Bitcoin is touching new highs so better Hold this because Holding ETH is not giving good profit if you want to earn on short or long basis then just holding is very good ETH is not moving like Bitcoin

[Question123]

For me I think if you want to become 2000 dollars your money or become double maybe the best answer is ethereum because possible become 600 dollars while if you choose bitcoin it cannot double the price this year even bitcoin is good but it will not double maybe next year ..

[xFiber]

Right now it's not a difficult decision. Bitcoin all the way. Overall bitcoin has always been my number one pick (short/long term hold). And right now is one of the best times to hold bitcoin, we're in a crazy bold run and could very well hit the $7000 mark tomorrow. I also feel like ethereum is way overvalued therfore I don't expect it to go to $600+ this year. So to answer your question, bitcoin would be the way to go.

[atc1-REAL]

Right now, hold btc until after the fork. There will be a correction after that again. Depending on the extremity of that correction, you can switch again or just keep holding btc. The bulls might even push it upto $7k by the end of the year is what the talk is. ETH on the other hand, has nothing but the price doubling this year, and as someone pointed out, its very unlikely to happen again this year.

Never ask for investment advice and do your own research and decisions!!!!
I myself will always go with the honeybadger if I had to make a decision between Bitcoin and one of hundreds of shitcoins!
Imo Eth is flawed as f**k and will sooner or later be replaced.There are already other competitors out there who may do pretty much the same as Eth. And to be honest, that isn't much! The only good thing Eth has and why it can hold it's value is due to massive ICO frauds on top of it and being backed by several banksters and companies. That's pretty much it.

Apart from research seeking advice regarding investment is not a problem, until and unless the investor is completely or blindly relying upon the advice.
Research on your own and seek advice and then take your own decision.

Substitutes of ETH are there but as of now you can hold it, not all ICOs are frauds so it has still a support beside the support of big players. As per my view I would exchange it for BTC as well, risky but rewarding. Would leave 5-10% of ETH to be hoarded.

For now bitcoin is good to hold more than ethereum and the wise thing to do is to convert your ethereum to bitcoin and hold until the next correction before buying ethereum again. The professionals traders especially the day traders do this repeatedly in other to make big profits daily. When ethereum is getting pumping you should convert your bitcoin to it.

[cynical]

that is a tricky one.
ethereum is at the moment sub 300$ and bitcoin is heading for +3500$ and is probably going up more.
i think the question is short term which holds the greater profit,
because this is what the real question is?
if we factor in the doubling of coins the trade is quite attractive

[DustyRah]

Sell half of your ETH and buy Bitcoins if you have no Bitcoins at all. In any case, keep your investments distributed so that you don't take a huge loss.

[btc-facebook]

I'm prefer bitcoin since they already amaze me over three years since I trade them for the first time.
And for now their value even bigger than ever !

Invest on ETH may profitable but it's more risky than bitcoin.

[Opquar]

With the upcoming fork, it might be better to trade in your ether for bitcoins. We don't know what will happen yet, but airdrops can't really be bad can they? I know I would move my alts into bitcoins for now.

[Tenderino]

Take a look at the price chart for the recent weeks and you will see that Ethereum remains at around $300 while Bitcoin continued to increase further. Based on this scheme I assume that Bitcoin will rise more than Ethereum in the future and another reason for this believe is that there were a lot of altcoins introduced that failed. This probably gave a negative touch to the altcoins in general and that is why the famous ones are not increasing recently. But this can change at any time.

ETH is around 300$ for three months or so. And the bitcoin rises from 3000$ to 6600$ within 3 months. That means if some one invested 300$ ,three months we would gain nothing from ETH, whereas he could have make a 360$ profit on bitcoin.
