ETH or LTC long term?

[xx-man]

For long term investment I prefer ETH, not LTC which is not good for future investment, but everyone is very different, maybe for now I prefer to choose ET for long term investment in the future.

But remember before ETH , LTC was the first currency that able to compete on 2nd position for a long period of time.
As for now, LTC's trend is on downtrend and ETH take the lead, if possible, you can invest both of them but for me personally, I'm prefer ETH for long term investation

You have to look at them not stand-alone, but in the context of the crypto industry.

If we take reference as BTC, what will be the price target for next 2 years? 10k in 2018 and 15k in 2019? So it's +80% vs today.

The will ETH or LTC price go quicker then that? If so, it's worth it to hold, otherwise no.

Brand new to the cryptocurrency market.  Currently I hold a decent amount of LTC.  It's value has gone up nicely since I purchased it.  I've read all the predictions for LTC in 2018 and 2019.  It sounds promising as a long term hold...which is what I'm more comfortable doing...to reach $200 -$300 a coin.   I like the fact that there is a team in place trying hard to ensure it's future.  Charlie Lee may not be the most charismatic spokesman publicly but he's out there doing it which gives me confidence in his product.  Now, it's obvious that ETH is not going anywhere.  My question for the board is which outperforms the other in the next 5 years?  I tend to invest heavily in the direction that has the bigger upside.  Perhaps I should split my investing 50/50 regarding ETH and LTC?  What say the more experienced cryptocurrency gurus? 

I have nothing against BTC.  I don't see it going anywhere.  It is the giant.  However, I feel the current price point is too high for my liking. 

Thanks

If I were you, I will go for ETH. Eth has been proven that it will last long in its price. After how many years, the price pump up about 50%  so many people choose this. ETH, LTC, and DOGE were compete in the cryptoworld and many of us choose these cryptocoins to have a big profit from them. If you have a doubt in eth, you can split your money into 40/60 or 50/50.

I believe more in ETH cause of I think it's more reliable..
but ltc is good too.
I think it's difficult to cjoose smth of ot whats better)

[otunayode]

Cryptocurrency usually derives their value from use and collective agreement whether direct or imply that said crypto currency holds value. If i were to based my speculation on value alone, I will not compare litecoin and ethereum. Ethereum is way valuable that litecoin in the light of it's usefulness. But in crypto value alone does not hold the ace you have to consider some other important factor like, supply, decentralization, volume, etc

Both are good altcoins with great future. But I think etherium has the upperhand specially on its performance and future developement. Also investors are more attracted on its plans in the future.

[criz2fer]

ETH will be the best for sure at a long term scale of investment. Since it was at dip, i think this was the right time to buy more. I think a lot of expectation on ETH because there'a alot of room for improvements specially for its development after the fork.

[ekkoadmiral]

Etherum and Litecoin are all popular coin and stability. If both long-term investment is good choice. I personally I prefer investing in Eth over because I like the way it is used in smart contracts

[Taskford]

I will choose ETH because it has a better future than LTC because LTC is just a copy of bitcoin and it is a boring cryptocurrency for me so i will not invest my money into that and i will just invest my money into something that is worth to wait and that is ETH that can go up to 0.1 in the next few months in my opinion.

[pokerjet]

I choose Ethereum, I believe I will earn much more income than Litecoin with the money I invest in Ethereum. I see that most of the investors who initially opposed Ethereum are now heading for Ethereum. I chose Ethereum for long-term investment, your decision is yours.

[misssunshine99]

Both are fine..Hard to make a decission

[Iyeman]

ltc and eth prices are almost very stable but ltc little bit more stable , but if we seen from usage between eth and ltc of course eth will win.

Ethereum is a winner, please see the latest chart on the coinmarketcap. how the testnet of the pos system will be launched asap. that gives the more future of the ethereum. many people will try to stake their ethereum in the network.

LTC is stuck to lite version of Bitcoin motto. Ethereum is being actively refined and updated and Ethereum is the prime fuel for ICOs.
Both coins are great and still profitable. But I believe Ethereum would be more beneficial than Litecoin in the long run.

I think that LTC is more prifit ratio coin : ) i has not gone like x40 in year LTC went just less.
So rise pottencial is bigger in LTC in short them i long NO ONE REALY KNOWS : )

[paragon07]

Both altcoin doing great. But i prefer to use etheruem, because most of the ICOs are using MEW and er20. They got a fast transaction in trading token.

[Rana590]

Both are good​ choice but ethereum is better than litecoin. There are many sectors where ethereum is needed. The price of ethereum also good and higher than litecoin. It is promising and now a days it is being used on ico hugely. You should take ethereum mostly.

[rockyfeller]

I will choose Ethereum rather Litecoin because of it's wallet and i love the Smart COntracts of ETH which will help to provide a new project(ICO) while Litecoin is actively pump for long term for lightning transactions but then again transaction are very important so i will choose both for now.

[ranoby]

I think ETH much better. I dont see future for LTC. It's just another bitcoin fork which just got some popularity in crypto-world...

Yes i agree ethereum has smart contract fetures be offered by the developer to community, in my personal opinions ethereum is good for short term investment (trading altcoins with ethereum due to it has huge volatility of the price) ethereum also can be used for making investment in the ICOs, but ethereum is bad for long term investment due to it doesn't has total supply of coins. For long term investment couples years later, litecoin is good choice due to it is deflation coin like bitcoin.

In my opinion, we must also consider the fact that Bithumb is advancing the volume of LTC to a new height in their exchange and that, of course, will also affect its price eventually. We can actually say that we're expecting an increase in the price of LTC sooner or later if it continues.
