Hold ETH or exchange it for BTC and hold BTC?

[ssuchy]

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?

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.

For some reason it seemed to me that Bitcoin would be very strong to have a binding to the etherium and therefore their price should be comparable to the equivalent. But for today I realized that I'm wrong.

This is a challenge. I'll base my answer from the current happenings on the rates of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin increases in value over time. within just some couple of weeks, Bitcoin reaches its all time high. On the other hand, Ethereum is just playing on the 300 USD price bracket. ETH stayed there for some time now and is having a hard time going up. Based from these observations, BTC is the best option. However, diversifying is also a wise decision. Perhaps you could buy 1 ETH and the rest will be BTC.

[Casdinyard]

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.

This thing will do if you really don't have btc and you're desperately want to have some but if you have some decent amount of btc then leave eth alone.
When you sell your eth now that will be very cheap and selling isn't a good idea, just hold it and wait for pump. Eth now is in downfall but we're very optimistic that it will recover and the rally will continue.
But of course, btc will always be a good catch to hold than any altcoins.

[Nameless27]

Honestly even I really admire ethereum and I’m one of those person supported it since then. Maybe it’s peak has come already and we don’t noticed it, we’re waiting for nothing. I have manage to sold mine to buy bitcoin at 5000$ + bitcoin price. I know that’s a gamble but at it goes at 6800$ now, how can I be wrong.

Sometimes we need to think a million times and have done it. But it’s time to move on now and look for what really is moving profits.

People yet aiming to change there ETH to btc right now since the btc itself is on the green line and many of the people want to hold aswell stake with it so that they can earn more money with it, And to bad since we can see that the price of the eth and the alts are dropping badly. But maybe if things will be stabilize on it well most provably the people who supports ETH will came back unto it and the price will came up soon.

With this rally I think it is better to exchange eth and ride to btc, the bitcoin price has gained momentum and keep on going up, for a long term maybe splitting to eth and bitcoin is better, but in this moment it is better to exchange it, because  when the bitcooin keep on rising it will suppress the alt coin price and at that time you can buy back the eth

[audrey12]

The market of ETH so far is good and others predict that it will continue to increase in the coming years and so as bitcoin. Now, what we need to decide is to whether investing in ETH will earn more than investment in bitcoin and as my observation the increase in ETH value is not as higher as the percentage increase of bitcoin so if I were to invest I still choose bitcoin.

[error08]

Consider current price of bitcoin and ethereum, if I have $1000 or $2000. I will invest 80% in ethereum and 20% in bitcoin.
Ethereum price seems decline during bitcoin rally, it's trade at $285 across global exchange which is pretty cheaper than normal price of ethereum.
Ethereum expected to rise in the next year after PoS be activated, so it would be long term investment.
On the other hand, bitcoin price keep climbing and reach another ATH over $6900 on November 1st, wondering how much it will gain by the end of this year, maybe $7500 as the new bottom line.

[RoommateAgreement]

well this year (like previous years) bitcoin is constantly rising and each time price comes down it is only as a correction and only lasts a short time before price restarts rising again.
in comparison ethereum this year (like previous years) had only one or two pumps where price went up fast in a short time (less than a month) then the rest of the year was price falling down slowly and reaching lower and lower prices.

maybe it is just me but i find the decision pretty simple!
always invest in bitcoin without second guessing. but rarely invest in eth and only do it when there is a eth pump going on, and stay away the rest of the times.

[Herbert2020]

when you are talking about price of an altcoin against bitcoin, you should always sell that altcoin for bitcoin whenever bitcoin price is rising because in order for these altcoins (mostly bigger ones that also have a fiat market) to keep their USD price up they have to get dumped against bitcoin. otherwise they are going to rise, and that is not possible!
as an example you can see that ETH is falling hard against bitcoin and that even causes it to lose some USD value because dump travels from market to market.

[Fuhre]

you should think about it again carefully because the eth price with btc so far and no one knows the end of the year or early next month btc will continue to rise, but for advice from me, you should stick to eth that you have today. I am sure eth will follow the bitcoin value bit by bit. eth will be able to compete with btc. try to imagine if you have 3.5eth = $ 1000 and if you convert it to btc you will get a little, then what if tomorrow bitcoin lower the price, imagine how much your own loss? but if you have a plan to hold it for the long-term, I think that's fine.

i am thinking the same like you and i think its better for us to know about bitcoin info so other people that want to sell their ethereum can thinking twice or they can hold until the price is increase again. but if you want to safe then i think you can sell your ethereum and you can have bitcoin in your wallet. but holding ethereum maybe the best solution for us if we can do so still holds your bitcoin and ethereum.

basing on todays value of bitcoin id say yes it is a good idea (but i think its not wise) to trade it to bitcoin and hold bitcoin for a while because i see that you can earn more profit by doing these rather than holding your etherium for nothing without even earning an interest but etherium will surely rise again soon when this bitcoin trend has done and all will be back to normal again after the fork.

To make a double money in the current situation seems to require long-term investment and in long-term investments any thing can happen. But I prefer to hold the ETH because the current price is quite cheap and I'm sure ETH goes 600 usd faster then 12000 usd per BTC

No one can tell if which among those two currency will earn more, it will depend on the situation that the coins are experiencing. Just like for now bitcoin price is soaring high rapidly because of an upcoming fork and even the price of BCC is experiencing the same because of the fork while ETH price is not that active. I would suggest better get into an active trading instead of converting it and waiting for the price to get high.

I think we should keep ETH, because the BTC price increases ETH price increase is a very normal. It is likely that ETH will rise in the near future. Keep it

[thecodebear]

If you had sold your ETH for bitcoin a month or so ago that would have been very smart! haha.

For now I think ETH will continue to lose value against BTC, maybe getting down to 0.02 BTC. I'm not gonna sell my ETH for BTC though. I'm gonna trade ETH though since it is just staying at $300 for along period of time it's not too hard to make ETH from trading, and I'll sell any ETH profits for BTC.

Who knows ETH might get a big pump sometime next year and gain back some value on bitcoin, even if temporarily.

[DaMut]

it's all about the situation and position,
if we're talking about it right now and we do not have any position,
it would be better to hold Bitcoin right now at least until a few days before segwit2x and then we can sell it.
but if right now you're holding ETH and as we can see the price is dropped a lot,
it would be better for you to hold ETH until recover,
Bitcoin run will not last forever,which mean there will be a time for it to take a break from the run and correcting.
that is the time when altcoin pumping(usually every early new year we should see something like that).

Bitcoin is very unpredictable lately,
if you're letting your emotion take control and cut loss all of your position,
you may be lose it all instead profitting.
just stay calm and read the situation before make a move

[djsugar]

Right now almost every trader is going through a loss when it comes to BTC valuation of the portfolio. What I wanna suggest is to use stoploss and exit altcoins for now. Bitcoin will remain bullish for more time to come. Altcoins will go more down. Right now holding on to them isn't a wise decision according to me. Alts will definitely be available at better price in coming days. So I would say cut some loss and enter ETH later when you see some signs of Bitcoin price correction or ETH appreciation.

[Shamie1002]

I recommend that you exchange your Alts to Bitcoins. As per the speculation, bitcoins is at its hike and in my opinion it will be a long one. Just like what happened even with the forks. But since alts have sunked a lot I say wait a bit I think it will not be wise, you will lose quite some earnings or capital that you have. And also not that wise to buy bitcoins with prices this high dude.
Just be observant. Since there will be segwit, just try to recover the alts price first.
