Cheap coins always bring huge profits. Last year, if you would compare BTC with ETH beginning February - you will notice that IF ONLY you placed the long term bet on ETH rather than BTC, you could have definitely doubled the gains.
Totally disagree we should compare coins on the base of previous performance instead of falling price, I know it is good to buy cheap price but I think we should keep the growing performance of the coin too, in this regard if we compare bitcoin and Ethereum then we will get to know bitcoin is the best choice, it has more potential and profit for holding after buying in this situation.
