After years in this space...I am now a BTC/ETH maximalist (Both are important)

[Betwrong]

If you are saying that it is better to invest in Bitcoin alone, rather than in Ethereum too, I'm not going to argue with you, because I too think that BTC is a better choice. But I was replying to the post saying that one should invest in more alts than just in BTC and ETH, in order to not "put all your eggs in one basket", or rather "in two baskets" in that case.

Bitcoin is leading the crypto market at the present but i think at the end of the day, ethereum will gain higher importance than bitcoin because if its practical usage. Both are really important so we should learn to maximize them in our portfolio rather than focusing on some other newly coins.

I'm taking the side of the people saying that Ethereum will never gain higher importance than Bitcoin. I mean, even without going into technical details we can see that ETH has not replaced BTC although ETH has had more than 4 years to do so. And how could ETH replace BTC when the two coins could hardly be considered competitors? They are rather complementing each other. And I'd say, if almost all of the other alts die, and only a few survive, BTC and ETH will still be number one and number two, respectively.

I side with you.
Its not only ethereum, no altcoin right now is in the position to compete with bitcoin.
All altcoins right now are praying for bitcoin quick recovery, so that they may enjoy ride over it

Ethereum is no doubt the best altcoin and second best cryptocurrency after Bitcoin. There is a saying that "never put all your eggs in one basket". There are few other good altcoin also (litecoin, monero etc) try to invest in them also and have a diverse portfolio rather then having a portfolio of just one altcoin.

That may seem to be a good idea but personally I am against it, my goal as an investor is not only to make money like everyone else but my goal is also to make money in such a way that it doesn't take me a lot of effort to do so, and taking that into consideration that means that the more coins that I hold the more difficult it becomes to monitor all of those coins and to be able to tell what direction each coin is going to take during the next months or years, and I personally do not want to be watching the market all the time to make some profits.

Five to ten coins all in all is not really a hassle to monitor especially if these coins are the top coins. If you have Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Monero, for example, there is not really a high demand to keep yourself monitored every minute of the day. You are aware after all that these projects will not fall easily. They are the corner stones in cryptocurrency. There is nothing to fear if a week passes by and you have not checked on what is new to each one of them.

You cannot leave your coins unattended for such a long time, and you just have to take a look at the way in which the market has been moving recently to know that I'm right, if you have stopped watching your coins for the last two days and then you saw that all the market has been going down it is very likely that you are going to panic and you will sell your coins because of it and then you will have lost the recovery that we are seeing right now, the moment that you invest in this market you are making a commitment to watch your coins and that is why try to keep that number very low to make my job easier.

From my first of working i am in love of ETH because ETH team has strong planning and platform yet. In 2018 we saw ETH team's strong work behind market when ETH down into position 3 in CMC market. I had hope about Waves but now weaves position are 64. This is only bad team work. So when we compare everything in market ETH is best after BTC.

That is in face, based on the coin market capitalization of those coins which determines how many people are having that money. What about if we consider the frequency of transactions that people is conducting using a particular cryptocurrency, it would be better to consider that stable coins are those that do really helps with people, and without any high ranking in CMC, we all know how important stable coins are and how we benefit from it over time. Going back to the topic, I could say, ETH and bitcoin are the two best investment crypto but not necessarily saying they are the best among the rest.

Both bitcoin and ethereum are good choose for investing but not right now because bitcoin and altcoin have lower price, I think ethereum can be recommendation for investing coin right now because have been with lower price and waiting when bitcoin up we can get profit with ethereum because price of ethereum will back with higher price.

There is no doubt with that, we can always say that because it has been proven enough, they will for sure be the Kind and Queen of crypto of all time. So it is really important to bag some of them, it is better to take risk just don't invest your money, at least invest some even little by little save some Btc and Eth, as it can be worth it someday.

Most crypto investors do always have these two main coins, bitcoin and ethereum. bitcoin is the most favorite coin in cryptocurrency because its increase in 2017 yesterday provided many benefits for its holders and all altcoins always follow the movements of the price of bitcoin. so bitcoin will always be the leader of altcoin. the second most popular coin is ethereum. During the heyday of the ICO in 2017 almost all of the ICO used the ethereum platform. so the price of ethereum at that time was quite high. the last two years the price of eth has continued to decline but I am still optimistic that eth can pump again when bitcoin goes bullish.

I love Bitcoin and fully believe in it. I would like to see what Ethereum 2.0 has in store for us before I truly form an opinion. I think there is such great potential for dApps in financial services, legal services, and government services that Ethereum can't be ignored. I am excited to see how Ethereum will be used in the future

there is no guarantee that ethereum may stand longer but what i see is Litecoin can be more competitive and Binance in future(ooopps,this is only my opinion haters read first)

though yeah i have ethereum in my folio but it doesnt mean that i will choose this against Bitcoin because this wont happen i would rather convert all my currency to bitcoin and wait for the bullrun the whole 2020.

Although ethereum have old year and most standing on second place with coin market cap I think not guarantee for ethereum keep existing with his place, always have other altcoin become competitor for ethereum where always looks with lower price, now needed time for ethereum when back up with higher price and take time to get eth have potential for trading and investing.

If your aim is to get as many profits as possible in the long term then ethereum seems like the best choice out of the two but we cannot really underestimate bitcoin, while it seems that it will be really difficult for ethereum to reach its all time high when we see the movements of bitcoin during this year it seems like it is just a matter of time before bitcoin is able to surpass the price of 20000 and create enthusiasm for it that we have not seen since the end of 2017.

Who can prediction how much price of ethereum next year, will back above $1,5k or keep with lower price under $150, after many ICOs failed with listed on exchange market and many investors move investment from ICOs to IEOs ethereum price looks dump and never get back with higher price, will be when ICOs raise up again and ethereum have higher price?
