Which is better, ether or bitcoin?

[buriks]

if with a capital of 100 $ I think you better invest in etherium tokens because if there is enough to buy even though it's only 0.1 ETH and we'll see if it will go up to 2k $ then of course the profits will get bigger. Regarding bitcoin, I think it's lacking, but if you are willing to invest in the long term then it is not a problem because bitcoin every year makes a lot of people surprised by the price that is achieved.

Some times, this might be a tough decision or choice to make when considering the fact that both of them are the best in their respective space, that is Ethereum is the best altcoin. Nevertheless, in order to consider which is a better option when faced with this type of choice, I think you will need to decide how long you intend to hold, if you want to go full long term, then I believe Bitcoin is the best, the reason is holding Bitcoin long term guarantees even more gain because more people are getting to understand the value it offers hence the price increase witnessed during the bull run, with even more in the future. On the other hand, if you want to go for short term, Bitcoin and Ethereum can still work but in this case, splitting the funds with a higher portion going to Bitcoin would be a better move.
Nevertheless, in my own opinion, I think holding or investing in both is a very good choice, 70/30 can be a good allocation with 70 going to Bitcoin and 30 for Ethereum.

What do people think? Is it better to invest, say, 100 dollars in ether or bitcoin?

I would choose both, maybe with a ratio of 75% BTC and 25% ETH or 50:50. It would be better if we divide the investment, to avoid big losses (when the price goes down) and can take profits when one of the investments has an increase in price.
Moreover, BTC and ETH are both good, both have their respective advantages and their market power is very strong.
So, only need to determine the right timing by doing in-depth analysis both fundamentally and technically, ah and need patience and mentally strong.

That's exactly what those big investment firms doing. Diversifying investment and bitcoin takes the major portion. I'd do that too considering bitcoin never disappoints and the market cap is big it's volatility might have been reduced. Thought in my opinion it just really depends on the person who invest whether he's trying to make some quick buck by investing big portion to ethereum or just steady but sure investment like bitcoin. Other than that can't really go wrong with both of them considering if not them then there's no better choice for crypto investment speaking from their market cap.

If you want to buy between both Bitcoin and Ethereum I would suggest you go with Ethereum but some people will prioritize bitcoin only. In the end, it's totally up to you which one you would like to buy. Apart from this, I would also suggest you check the top 20 cheap good potential coins that can give you more return with a small investment in my opinion because the transaction fee of BTC and Eth is quite higher if you buy and sell only worth 100$ coin.

You mentioned the first and second top coins of cryptocurrencies which is bitcoin and ethereum for me both are good investment. Why not diversify your  100 $ 50% to bitcoin and 50% to ethereum and hold it for long term like 5 to 10 years. There is a saying dont put your all eggs in one basket because if one fail then you have hope to another one.

I think anyone that is seriously into crypto would never consider splitting it half/half like this. Always Bitcoin first and foremost, the majority of holdings, and then ETH and other alts a small proportion. Unless of course, you are a developer and you actually build and use things on top of ETH (or other smart contract platforms).

Altcoins are following the Bitcoin surge, which means Bitcoin takes the lead. Altcoins are just pumping as Bitcoin. Bitcoin is on correction time when some altcoins are making bubbles. We can predict that Bitcoin will cross 50k soon, but then Ethereum and altcoins will pump. Now Bitcoin is safer than Ethereum blockchain.

If you are still having confusion whether which of the two said cryptos you will be investing with I suggest you split your funds to both of ethereum and bitcoin so you on that we I think its a win-win situation for you especially that both of this top ranked cryptos are having a bullish run.

[Momoamzad]

I think you can invest in both Eth and bitcoin if you have confusion. Both better in their own features.both are now in good position  so you can invest by dividing  your full money.  You can also invest in some small but protential coin that also can give you some profits.

I will say straight to you...it is Bitcoin.
But for the price that we have today? You will better keep it and wait for the market to lower down. I can't imagine starting investing Bitcoin at $100 capital, it is too expensive. Only a few sats could you buy for that amount of money, unless if you add some more, about $500 is really a good start.

However, it was your choice since Ethereum still has the potential as well but I'd say Bitcoin is having more than ETH.

Now the market has such a situation that it is now better to buy ethereum, which has a higher chance of doubling its price than bitcoin. In my opinion, the profit from holding ethereum will be several times higher than that of BTC. And after you get a profit from the sale of ETH, you will be able to redistribute your portfolio between BTC and ETH.

[mezzaluna]

Its always safe to invest on both of this leading Cryptocurrencies. Ethereum has this slow pace of getting its value in place but the investment is worth it and on the other hand, Bitcoin's skyrocketing value is unpredictable which makes it a better investment opportunity if you can just leave it for a long amount of time.

You can't compare Bitcoin and Ethereum, how did you not know that?
They are different in many ways, they are doing different things, why would you compare these two? By the price? Well Bitcoin will lead that race and that will not change!
Since ever people create topics here COIN VS COIN, Which coin is better... but that doesn't have a lot of sense too me, each project represent something different, and maybe they don't have that confirmation in price, that will happen!
Choose your investments wisely, not by their name or fame, do it because you check what they do and you like it!

Bitcoin and Ethereum are both good currencies. According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin is currently priced at $36356 and Ethereum is priced at $1235. So Bitcoin cannot be compared to Ethereum. Although both currencies are profitable, I personally prefer Ethereum.

It is upon users personal choice. People have different view over bitcoin and ethereum. From my learning I feel ethereum and bitcoin to be the potential one of all time. With time scenario changes with the market, both are highly profiting. Ethereum has more usecase than bitcoin, upon which ethereum will turn to be more potential asset in long term.

Both ethereum and bitcoin become potential asset in long term to get profit but still worth with ethereum during we have little money, checking with bitcoin price raise above $40,000 we need much money to get much profit with bitcoin investment, but if you try to invest on ethereum maybe you can get more than 20x profit from investing on bitcoin with the same amount you use. Better with ethereum still have good price for entry now and looking how bitcoin situation because could give guide to know ethereum price will up or down.

Both Ethereum and Bitcoin are good if you take them for long-term hold. The dynamics of both coins are excellent. There are no prerequisites that in 2021 something can change for the worse. Bitcoin and Ethereum promise good growth. Therefore, you can invest in any of these coins.

[didzi]

when compared to bitcoin and ethereum at this time Of course I personally would choose to invest in Ethereum because the price of bitcoin is too high
too high risk if investing in bitcoin but the opposite ethereum prices have not been too high there is hope that it will rise even higher especially the ethereum development which always looks good

indeed, thats if we talk about the price mate
but maybe bitcoin price can grow higher than now, wich mean there is a possibility for bitcoin to create new high again in the near time my friend
and of course ethereum will follow the movement of bitcoin

I agree with your point. Bitcoin is way too high right now and it is hard to have a big profit with it. Ethereum, on the other hand, are still as low compare with its latest all time high. So investing in ethereum surely gives you a higher percentage in return than bitcoin.

However, Bitcoin is not a bad coin at all. It is the king of all cryptocurrency which has been a safe haven for many years. Bitcoin can be comparable to gold. More and more people believe that bitcoin will soon become digital gold and the most valuable asset on this planet

[Luqman]

Both are trustable coins, so you can choose both or one of them. But if I were you, I will buy $50 for Bitcoin and $50 for Ethereum. To diversify our assets are better because it can minimize the risks of losing all money in a single coin. It also can increase the chance to take profits, you know sometimes altcoins  like Ethereum can rise up more significant than Bitcoin.

[gaston castano]

still bitcoin, but if the amount is not too much you better buy ETH, because maybe the fee for BTC will be even higher if the price of btc goes up in the future. while for ETH, because it is running v2.0, the fee might be low because it is using POS mode.

Ethereum when update to v2.0 and have different function from mining become yield farming because right now ethereum have higher fees transaction need when sent coin, better when ethereum function have update become v2.0 give more faster and take many investor. Maybe etehreum become best way at the future if have lower fees transaction and many bank will adopt etehreum as legal and partner payment digital currency transaction, I think bitcoin and ethereum could more higher rice few years later.

It is superior to contribute and you ought to separate your sum into both coins as bitcoin and ethereum are the promising coins at this minute. That doesn't matter a part which coins merely want to choose from your list consider ethereum has it’s possess advantage over bitcoin and something else bitcoin as well. Individual investigate is fundamental and you ought to attempt to think what will be the reason to purchase such coin and you should go into the market at the leading time, Always be beyond any doubt that never contribute all capital at one put.
