What would you rather buy for the long term right now...BTC or ETH?

[thecodebear]

Simple question. Between BTC and ETH what would you want to load up on right now if you could only choose one?

Personally I'd go with ETH, but that's because I already have a lot more Bitcoin than ETH.

All I have eth for at the moment is to pay gas for things like usdt. I have a feeling the eth price will drop when the staked eth are released and eth will likely drop anyway over the next few months if bitcoin strengthens - as I'm thinking it will.

[darkangelosme]

For me i would choose Bitcoin rather than Ethereum, because any other crypto even Ethereum is relying on Bitcoin stands on the market, if Bitcoin will fall any other crypto will fall also, that's why i must prefer Bitcoin rather than Ethereum.

It's just going to really depend on your risk appetite. ETH has higher potential price increase due to the albeit low-key "dangerous" development, whereas BTC simply has the best risk:reward ratio as an investment.

Personally, why not both? You really don't need to stick to one asset. But if you'd put a gun to my head and make me choose one, I'd go with BTC.

Interesting question, I don't use Ether at all, however, in saying that I've found myself buying a few Tokens recently and have found myself in need of ETH, so I've bought a few hundred dollars worth to fund transfers (and the purchase) via online sites.

Ooverall as an investment, I'm leaning towards bitcoin simply because that's the bulk of my holdings.

[Lordshiva]

Surely bitcoin would be my first choise without any doubt. I cannot put any other altcoin infront of bitcoin because it the root of all the other cryptos and no other coin is going to overtake it ever. Yes ethereum is the second best coin but bitcoin will always be on top .

[Fundamentals Of]

You are answering your own question with a different basis than I thought. I was thinking you would choose based on their features, potentials, future adoption, etc. But of course it also matters that you want to diversify a bit your crypto portfolio.

If I were to choose between the two, I would choose Bitcoin. But just like you, I don't want to simply choose one between Bitcoin and Ethereum. I believe these two projects have a long way to go and I don't want to miss the day when BTC and ETH become more precious than they are today.

Bitcoin prices can be either considered as underpriced, or at the right valuation. But with a market cap of >$300 billion, the same can't be said about Ethereum. ETH is facing a lot of competition from other chains, and users are not happy with the delays, security issues and very high transaction fees. The long term outlook definitely looks bleak for Ethereum, no matter what it's developers want us to believe. ETH 2.0 rollout was also a gigantic flop. Ethereum's time is up and it's no.2 position is under serious threat.

[ethereumhunter]

Bitcoin is my choice, but I would consider buying ETH if the price is below $2,000 or $1,500 because that will be a good price to buy as many ETH as I can. But bitcoin is the main coin that I am willing to buy as I believe that the price will rise more than ETH.

The other reason why I choose bitcoin is that bitcoin still leads the crypto market. It would be a good time to buy more bitcoin because ETH still holds the price not to go down for deep.

BTC

I don't buy Ethereum because of ideology. It's a centralized shitcoin, huge premine, Vitalik's ethics are questionable, much of it runs on Infura, so when it goes down Ethereum doesn't work. Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum's blockchain can be reversed, as it happened in 2016.

Also Ethereum Developer Vitalik Buterin Sold 25% Of His Coins

Compare that to Satoshi.

Ethereum is a shitcoin with quite a bit of strength that looks like it can deliver good returns just like some other shitcoins will but I prefer to focus on supporting a decentralized, autonomous, irreversible system that is limited in nature (deflationary).

I'd probably stick with both if I can. If I was forced to pick between the two though I'd probably go for BTC. ETH seems like a nice investment to go on to but I'd prefer Bitcoin all the way since I've had my fair share of experience with it. I've used ether for my transactions here and there but it hasn't really stuck with me whether I should split my currently low monthly investment into both portfolios, doens't seem worth it so I'm sticking to one till I can manage to increase my monthly investment or till I get a pretty satisfactory amount in BTC (which would take a long time I think).

I want to pick one but for me I rather have both cause we dont know which one will be dominant on the future and Im sure either of these two is a good pick especially eth which has been used a lot lately due to the nft hype. Minting nft on eyh network is something most traders are being hyped now.

I love both coin and Im gonna accumulate slowly these two monster cryptocurrency project.

Your reason is not making any sense; what you are already having cannot be a criteria to decide where you will invest further. If are investing into something else for the reason of diversification then that could be a different case but ignoring the growth rate and investing into other things just because of already holding in more number definitely a naive decision.

You sound like you are speculating both BTC and ETH are having same level of ROI in coming times but I expect ETH may become like how litecoin is doing right now due to evaluation of another coin. So, having BTC in more number is always recommended.

[Oshosondy]

I will go for bitcoin and Bitcoin and nothing more than a stable coin, I like a coin that shows complete decentralization, not all coins are completely decentralized, only Bitcoin is the coin I know to be decentralized and not controlled in any way. That is why I will prefer it, but it is not bad if go for ethereum but ethereum is never my type when bitcoin and a stable coin can give me all what I want, bitcoin is most suitable for holding.

But that means that you will have reduced profit overtime since you are going to invest in both unless you have a lot of money to get both and profit big time in both then you can just go for it. Although, I think that you can still profit big in the long-term if you accumulate bitcoin and eth along the way.

I would invest in both, there is no complete bitcoin or ethereum like scenario for me. I don't like to put all my eggs in one basket and I like to diversify my investments.
I can't risk to loose it all when it comes to investment and play it safe, while investing in both bitcoin and ethereum, I am limiting the risk of loosing money in case my investment experience bearish trend. While riding both the boats(ethereum and bitcoin) I can guarantee that I will be making decent amount of profit in the long run.

For now I'd go with ETH since there are so many things I can use on it especially I am playing Axie Infinity right now and this game is the reason why I mostly transact on ETH also its kinda cheap compare with bitcoin so no wonder that we can see more from it as ETH had a lot of potential to rise up more in future. I'm not saying bitcoin is not good but if we talk about how huge the usage I can say ETH is kinda useful for now(This is my opinion only).

Ethereum is preferred over bitcoin. The price of bitcoin have gone high, and I find the price of ethereum to be affordable to buy it as a whole. Also from various predictions ethereum is said to touch atleast $17800 within the next five years time. This is something big out of an investment. This makes me prioritise ethereum over bitcoin. For short term and regular trading purpose bitcoin is the right choice.

Ethereum will never be able to hit a price level that is close to Bitcoin,due to the lack of scarcity.
What's the point of choosing between BTC and ETH,since both the BTC and ETH price follow the same pattern? I would rather choose 100% Bitcoin or a combination between BTC and ETH.
If we try to ignore the technological difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum and focus only on prices and profit margins,I don't see anything that makes Ethereum better than Bitcoin.I don't want to discuss all the DeFI,ICOs,smart contracts,which are built on top of ETH.They all have pros and cons and the pros aren't more than the cons.

4 years ago,I remember some people said that Ethereum will hit 10K-15K USD in the next 5 years.
They were wrong.This is clearly a bold statement and a speculation.

I prefer to buy both bitcoin and ethereum. Maybe the portion will be bitcoin for 65% and ethereum will be 35%. When the bitcoin price increase, the ethereum price will have a chance to increase and that means I can make double profit from bitcoin and ethereum. I give a bigger portion in bitcoin because I believe that bitcoin can increase and will be back to the last ATH and have a new ATH this year or next year.

While ethereum can be a secondary investment that can give the other profit to me. If ethereum can increase more than the last ATH, that will bring another bigger profit for the investors but that will not happen in a short time unless the bitcoin price can rise so high.
