ETH vs BTC future growth potential

[shinratensei_]

you should know that many of the institutional investments money coming down in both of them but bitcoin got large share of that investment flowing in, therefore if it's for long term, which these institutional investors are exactly doing, then i'd bet bitcoin got the upper hand, but that doesn't mean ethereum gonna be bad for investment because its blockchain is smart contract, meaning there are many things that could be created within the blockchain, moreover, the emergence of many second layer solution in this case that helps ethereum solving its gas problem and also adds value to the ethereum itself since it's somewhat integrated, just make things better for ethereum, i'd say it can be true that ethereum might have higher future growth potential although it could hardly overtake the capitalization of bitcoin in the future.

I think that there is no need to compare both. bitcoin will always be growing up and ethereum too. etehreum was altcoin. Ethereum will be always following bitcoin to growth no matter what happened with the bitcoin. Bitcoin is center of crypto. Bitcoin looked like a dollar which was greatly affecting another tokens in the market. THe correlation betwen both are very strong right now. Btc and eth have same potential.

Bitcoin gain is not specifically tied to the loss of confidence in FIAT

Well I am looking to invest in crypto because my savings account of my regular bank gets evaporated by the inflation.
Banks offer a 2% rate on savings accounts while the real inflation is something like 10% per year. It can not even be tamed by the federal reserve raising intrest rates.

Fiat is dying. So people look for alternatives.
BTC speaks to my mind because it is somewhat out of government control. I do have a lot to learn for that matter.

I expect Binance and Coinbase to be taken down via lawsuits in the near future.
But I do not have the technical knowledge to understand if this somehow makes it impossible to buy BTC. Other exchanges in crypto friendly countries may still operate. Or people may find other ways to get their hands on BTC.

What do you expect to happen to BTC when governments manage to close the top 5 exchanges in the world?
It will bring down adoption. But will it kill it? And if so, is that forever or will people find a new way to get their hands on BTC?

Well, that is different. It is indeed Bitcoin that offers a good solution for extreme inflation that happens in your case, but globally, as of now it is not specifically tied to. Do in mind, that Bitcoin is also not the only solution to getting away from inflation, there is various option to choose from.

In a hypothetical scenario where the top exchange gets banned, I think it is very unlikely. But supposing that happens, it certainly will slow down adoption since many people use FIAT to get an on-off ramp on cryptocurrencies, but will never be able to completely obliterate cryptocurrency, especially bitcoin.

yes, bitcoin is exactly like the American dollar, all altcoins in price depend on fluctuations in the price of bitcoins, when compared with eth, they differ only in price, but in importance they are almost the same, and if so, I prefer eth because I consider it more promising than bitcoin

[Silberman]

I hear a lot of voices saying that BTC's price will go through the roof when the monetary system goes down.
I've heard predictions of BTC going 4x in 2024. Others say 33x in years to come.

Is there any estimated guess on how high Ethereum can go?
While the growth of BTC depends on the loss of confidence in regular currencies (dollar, euro..) it seems that the growth of ETH is not dependent on this.
I often hear people talk about BTC value explosion, while it seems that growth of ETH price is more gradual and linear. So basically a lower expected return on investment.

Also, after BTC surviving for more than 10 years and not even the Chinese government being able to stop it, I am quite confident it can not be stopped.
But can ETH somehow be stopped? Confiscated or devalued when exchanges are attacked

The investment I can afford right now is 1 BTC and 1 ETH.
I barely have fixed costs for the next 2 years so I can slowly stack up.
But I don't know if the same amount is better invested in let's say 0.5 BTC and 5 ETH. That will depend on growth potential and safety
Also if the government somehow finds a way to attack BTC, owning 5 ETH can compensate for the other investment that didn't work out.
I would like to diversify, but don't find many suited options to diversify in.

At least to me ethereum does not seems as solid as bitcoin, but without a doubt it would be with us for a very long time, now if I were you I will concentrate my efforts on getting bitcoin exclusively at the moment, then once the bull market is at its peak you could try to switch to ethereum before the altcoin season starts or at least do so on the early stages, this will be a more profitable option than investing on ethereum now, however be careful because as simple as this sounds this is an advanced tactic not many people can pull off.

There's nothing like competition between Bitcoin and Ethereum, they've been in existence from day one. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have experienced successful pumps during the bull market; they complement one another.  Both developments have room for growth, and the area would be utterly desolate without these two well-built structures. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum are well-known and promising initiatives in the cryptocurrency space; they both have robust blockchains and a sizable investor base that is unmatched by other forms of investment.

[danherbias07]

when talking about the potential of Bitcoin and Ethereum, of course Ethereum has far more potential than Bitcoin,
yes because the price of Bitcoin might break $100k but the ROI is higher if you look at the potential of Ethereum which might reach $10k,
considering the current price of Ethereum still at $2000, next bullish Ethereum will be even bigger.

I've heard predictions of a million dollar BTC, or even 10 million in case of hyperinflation.
100k is the expected 4x by 2024. By countless famous hedge fund managers.

I haven't heard famous people expecting ETH to outperform that price prediction.
It seems to me that many people expect ETH to be replaced by better tech in the future (I head that HBAR is better, faster - cheaper - more energy efficient). ETH is  more popular now but that is not a given for the future. I've heard nobody giving any solid argument for BTC being replaced by anything else.

You are hearing too much impossible numbers. Try being realistic. The truth is, Bitcoin always grows but we don't have the exact time when it will happen. It could be later or tomorrow and all we have is patience and toughness to not sell them whenever a dump comes. Strong hands, that's all you need.
Whatever you pick between the two of them will still rely on how you will not be shaken by sudden fluctuations.
There are investors who would say the same thing like x10 or x20 in the future but you don't really know their agenda. They may be the ones who are taking advantage of the pump when the demand rises due to the trend they created.

But what you want as long as they are reputable coins. Store it as long as you could and I am sure there will be good news in the future.

[Psynthax]

I think it's common knowledge that usually coin with smaller market capitalization have bigger chance of overturning their current valuation and simply could multiply its own valuation multiple folds, but in this case I'd say eth and btc have the same potential mainly because they both got their share of pie in term of getting invested by large funds management company.

[Apocollapse]

Ethereum is just being lucky because many projects are still using their network, if not Ethereum will become a dead project because of no use case. More people are don't care with Ethereum because of the none development by them, they just promising ETH 2.0 and offer cheap fees, but they're failed to bring it. When many projects are using other network, Ethereum dominance will be overtake by other project.

[TheUltraElite]

Both BTC and ETH can be profitable but I always go with more BTC stacking than ETH over time. I know the responses might be biased towards BTC more than ETH in this forum (because of the name of the forum, duh!) still if you feel that ETH can do better go for it, but make sure your faith is logical and not just blind.

Diversifying in both is a good option too, but make sure you dont include any more assets into a significant share in your total allocation.

If you ask me, both are growing at good potential and I am eager to see how they progress and work together. Hence I have kept a stash of ETH for need which I might increase in future too.

Yes, BTC and ETH are two popular cryptocurrencies. While BTC's growth potential depends mainly on the loss of confidence in the regular currency, ETH's growth potential depends less on this. BTC price is expected to rise significantly, while ETH growth is expected to be more gradual and linear.

BTC has been around for over a decade and has proven resilient against government attempts to stop it. ETH can face risks such as being confiscated or devalued in the event of an exchange hack. Investing in BTC and ETH can offer several diversification benefits. Now regarding the decision of how much to invest in each cryptocurrency will depend on one's risk tolerance and growth expectations.

as for me, eth and bitcon are almost the same, the difference is only in price, as for me, these are the two most reliable cryptocurrencies for today and I think that it is worth investing in them equally, they depend on each other in price and in everything else

If comparing in terms of safety, bitcoin still prevails over ETH, ETH is still at risk of collapse because it is still more centralized than bitcoin. But when it comes to return on investment, there's no denying that ETH will offer better returns than BTC these days. It's true, but I know many people don't want to face it, bitcoin has gotten big, and it's normal for its returns to dwindle over time. At some point, ETH will be like bitcoin when it becomes as big as bitcoin, but right now, it is dominating bitcoin in terms of profitability. I will invest in both to diversify as well as maximize profits in the best way.

There is no doubt about these two coins because Bitcoin is the king of coins and Ethereum is the king of altcoins,
especially for long-term investment the two coins are the right and safe choice,
but again it all depends on the decision of each.

I would like to diversify, but don't find many suited options to diversify in.

I think the estimates is almost the say for Bitcoin and Ethereum growth, it's like 2.5x from their last all time high.

So if BTC=69,000 x 2.5 = $172,500 and if ETH=4,800 x =12,000. But that is just rough estimates though, so don't take that numbers as if we will going to hit that in the next bull run.

So just compute how much you are going to profit though and see what will be good for your money in the next 2 years or so.

If you are going to ask me, I will just stick with BTC though.

[fvb]

Everything depends on you. That is how much you can invest in the long term. So do not think much and buy these coins in the same proportions and then you will not regret it in the future

[gurunanakji777]

In my opinion, both Bitcoin and Ethereum are valuable assets that even beginners can purchase without much consideration due to their reputation in the crypto market. Compared to other alternative cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum have the lowest risk as they have survived in the market for a long time. While many coins have come and gone, these two have remained stable. Therefore, it's advisable to invest in both, either by having faith in one or buying an equal proportion of both even though both have good future growth potential.

I'm not an expert, but I understand why bitcoin is a commodity and not a security. For me this is extremely important. I only seek to invest in commodities, as a long term store of value. If any other coin ever qualifies as a commodity, I hope to find out here as soon as possible. But in that regard I think BTC is and always will be one of a kind.

[milewilda]

If you do have those doubts and worrying about on things getting f*cked up then you could always have that current solution and ways that you are dealing with which you do make out some split in half
but eventually you do really go for long term which i do believe that ETH would could be able to go along when it comes to long term. There's no doubt on Bitcoin which its been trying to be taken down and
lots had tried and we've seen bans and prohibitions everywhere and anywhere but its not something that it would be completely stopped nor get rid and now it do able to survive
and sustain on which it is the reason on why its been trusted and been that mainly support but you could always have the other choice if you wanted.

Bitcoin is the only one that could provide such security though not 100% but at least it was higher than altcoins, nothing else. And if you are trusting this project and have faith, you'd better not bother yourself to look for another as certainly, you will never find any. However, might keeping ETH is not really a good choice in the long-term but can't deny the fact that it was also one of the most promising altcoins in the market and seems to have a big role to play in the crypto space which I believe that it will still exist in the market for many years.
