What is most profitable to invest for 5 years ?BT or ETH

if bitcoin didnt fix the issues about block chain regarding traffic and high fees,i guess many investors and supporters of bitcoin may transfer to ethereum,with faster transaction and lower fee,together being the most used platform by the ico's well no doubt that ethereum will overcome bitcoin in that long years.60 months is such long process for both coins do their jobs and responsibilities.so in dependon what both coins reaction as years passed by

It is long term for choosing bitcoin or ethereum. You shouldn't invest with only bitcoin or ethereum. You should think both of them. 2018 may be good for ethereum or bitcoin. But you can not know year 2023. Maybe another coins will be good investment.

[Carlsen]

I see bitcoin developing in a form of digital gold. Investors put their money in it, but it will not be used as payment anymore.
ETH in five years, I can imagine that it will be the new form of payment when you want to pay with a crypto currency in online shops.
What I can not tell is which of those two coins will increase more in price.
Could be bitcoin because of its limitation, could be ETH because of its practical use.

Bitcoin vs Etherium after 5 years!
I think maybe bitcoin vs Etherium after 5 years bitcoin it doesn’t mean again or already worthless, and bitcoin will only be a history of the digital currency termahal in the world, and Etherium coin will be the most expensive setalah bitcoin may price Etherium would be more than the price bitcoin that now.

I will choose bitcoin why because its the first digital currency that show a big money

Last time I invested in Ethereum, I never made much profit from it, and my friend who also invested in it never made a penny from it, rather he lost some of his money, about 12%. That’s why I’m choosing Bitcoin over Ethereum, and I still believe that Bitcoin will be better even in the next five years.

For me the answer is obvious. Bitcoin is a more reliable value. This is happening even now. In the long run it will be even more pronounced. The mechanism of inflation underlying the Ethereum will never allow him to become promising in the long term. He's probably already reached my limit.

I agree with you.
I am very difficult if asked about my opinion about something in the future, because we never know what will happen later. But according to my predictions that are more profitable 5 years later is bitcoin, because the price is very good and will be difficult rivaled by other coins, although ethereum will have a good price, but I think it will not be as good as bitcoin. , it would be better if we invest in both, so the money we get will be more and more, because both will have a higher price.

Hard to say really. It depends on how well the lightning network ends up working. If they can increase speed and reduce fees then I would say bitcoin will be ahead.

This.

For now people are buying bitcoin because of name recognition.

But soon the market will begin demanding more efficient coins that can scale and have low fees. LN is considered a solution, we will see how that goes.

in some way your right,since bitcoin is the most popular and high valued coin thats why hes recognized more than any coin,though the reality is theres a lot of coin better than bitcoin unless the lightning network have done and introduced in this forum,bitcoin will overcome by ethereum in so many aspect that users now are startinh to realize

[Farhan786]

Both Bitcoin and Etheram are profitable today and even in the next five years. But the two are more profitable Bitcoin, which clearly has more value than ehereum.

ethereum is seen moving forward with their smart contracts, this could be an important reference to their volume over the next 5 years, cost issues, bitcoin and ethereum will remain the same, the fees will continue to increase as price increases, this will be a big problem if not resolved start now. The level of transaction congestion is also a concern because it is very disturbing public convenience for the needs of fast transactions.

[Peterson410]

no. both will develop. so bitcoin will be there in the lead position

[jaysabi]

Bitcoin is coasting on name recognition and first mover advantage. At this point, the only thing it really has going for it is past familiarity and the "promise" of what lightning network will do. LN looks awfully convoluted and my personal expectation is it will be not be very widely understood and therefore not widely embraced. Ethereum had much more utility, being the ecosystem of smart contracts. I expect at some point before 5 years, some crypto will overtake Bitcoin's preeminence, but I'm agnostic about which one it will be.

I think ethereum has a chance over bitcoin since the value of bitcoin right now is going down a lot. Ethereum's value has been doing good and it is expected to keep on rising just like with bitcoin. Although bitcoin has the advantage since it was the very first cryptocurrency, there's still a chance that it will be dethroned by a cryptocurrency like ethereum in the future.

Anything can happen in the next 5 year. We can all see how both bitcoin and ethereum is growing and we cannot still predict who will reign in the future. Bitcoin has been dominating for a long time but as we all can see now, the value of it is falling down a lot and maybe it will be replaced by a powerful cryptocurrency sooner or later. We should still keep our faith on bitcoin amidst all the possibility that may occur in the future.

[CARrency]

I agree. Bitcoin dumps and so Eth too. Eth pumps and bitcoin will do too, we just need to be patient for it. Bitcoin is the mos expensive digital currency so I don't think that bitcoin will be replaced as the most expensive in the future. Ethereum is expected to pump this year and so do bitcoin.

[Martinkuhn]

BTC and ETH will continue to grow in 2018 and beyond.

Both will do well but I would bet my dollar on ETH as it is a smart contract blockchain that is able to disrupt many traditional industries. The potential is much greater and hence the value of the coin.

[lucifer2]

i will invest in bitcoin.  because bitcoin will be accepted by all countries as a valid payment instrument. even though there are few countries that cons about bitcoin..

[sajjad.uc]

The answer of this question is dependent on a lots of thing. If we calculate all the things, than it is really very hard to predict. On the way of edge We have to say Bitcoin will be victorious over Etherium. So my answer is bitcoin.

[sajjad100]

Surely bitcoin. Bitcoins price will go higher each and every year. After 5 years bitcoins price will be near 30k per coin. On the other hand, Etherium is also going up very fast. But it will not be able to cross bitcoin. But who knows! In crypto market anything is possible. No one can 100% surely predict whats gonna happen after 5 years.

Both options are an indispensable part of a good investment portfolio, and there is no reason for you to discriminate against one currency to favor the other. In fact I am almost convinced that most of those who already have some time involved in this business have most of their holdings in those two cryptos (ethereum and bitcoin), so your question should be rather what proportion should you have of each one of them. And I prefer ethereum.

[KurtR90]

At this point you will never know which of the two could achieve greater achieve, no doubt bitcoin has more possibilities due to its popularity and the support it has received since its inception, but everything can be expected from ethereum ... Just wait.
