Well, i honestly don't think projects that aim to become cash have a future outside speculation. Think of it, no one will adopt something that's mostly owned by a small group of early adopters as cash, except for a few cases (black market, speculation). So basically to make outsiders use what you got, you want them to want / NEED your product. That's where platforms like ethereum fit. 2017 is the year where too many projects have alpha / beta release. Even santander's project may launch this year.

Keep the ether. For example, people say having anonymous transactions is COOL. But they will implement it on ethereum. If being able to send a coin from X to Y anonymously is a big thing, imagine how cool it is to not just do that, but to implement it in dapps / smart contracts. It was tested succesfully on ethereum https://blog.ethereum.org/2017/01/19/update-integrating-zcash-ethereum/ . Next big thing is chosing the best option to scale the chain and then it'll become a killer scalable all in one chain, making every other rival project obsolete.


That's a great feature for Ethereum developers and their users to have.

That Christian Reitwiessner dude has an amazing brain.

A body blow for Monero ;(

Hi bitcointalk,

I have about 100 eth on my ledger wallet, should I convert them to bitcoins or stay in ethereum? Should I go 50/50? Or go all in on one of them?

What are the pros and cons in this violent market?

Please share your two cents




Stay on eth 100% 😜✈️

You could earn more, and you could lose more... Depends on your investment strategy IMO, Bitcoin is not stable to USD but ETH is not stable to even BTC so the price could change on almost any aspect even if bitcoins go up or down..
Personally I would exchange %75 at least to BTC.

Ethereum is definitely growing and with more tokens being based on their blockchain , there will be always demand for it over time for gas etc... I still see more potentials and bigger growth in BTC however , Its pretty much safe to say that bitcoin is unstoppable at this point with LN and SegWit coming. Both are good projects , I'd go 100% bitcoin If were you but If you don't want to take much risk then split them to 50/50.
Sorry but segwit won't work. It needs about 95% adoption to activate it. As i read, it's against miners interest to adopt segwitt (because of the fees), therefore it will never happen.
You are right. I know that currently Mining Pools would rather have Bitcoin Unlimited, which is is supported by 17.30% miners, 2nd is SegWit with 16.67% support and lastly we have 8 MB blocks with 9.30% support.
There is no way, unless something unexpected happen, to see activation of SegWit. Maybe this tech will be used by Litecoin. But SegWit's negation by miners is no reason to not hold Bitcoin anyway.

Unfortunately what happened to DAO has shaken ETH too much. I think if it had not happened, the value would probably continue to rise. Your proposal and your development team are very good, but until I see that market confidence has returned I would not invest much in it. I think 40 / 60 (Eth/Btc) is good.

In my personal opinion, those two are both in the process of progress. Why not try to make go to 50/50 trial, then hold it both and wait for the right time until it reach the price value that you are waiting it.

@OP
Did you buy your ETH "fuel tokens" when they were over $20 each ?

By the way after the DAO attack minecache the expert here on ETH proclaimed proudly that Ethereum ICO coins will be $100 each in 12 months.

..make of that what you will.

PS:
See the sticky topic here about "Speculation"

Who cares when he bought them or what he paid all we need to care about is that btc is the king and will always be.

I think so, as bitcoin has more rapidly growing than eth or other coins. So it's more safely to store your eth into bitcoin.
Look at eth charts in last year until now and you will know how fast it's developing, than compare to bitcoin charts.
You will see the difference between these coins. However, the decision is yours, if you like to save it in eth or bitcoin.

i am not going to tell you what to do but instead i am going to tell you what i think.

bitcoin is a sure thing, when you invest in it you know that the chances of you regretting that investment, specially in long term is very slim and nearly zero.

but ethereum is an altcoin which is a very risky investment. it has many downsides and many problems, which means price of it can not go up with adoption. however it is manipulated, which means it can get pump and dumped and you can make profit from the pumps if you can catch them and lost money if you are late and get dumped on.

I think you can convert ETH to bitcoin now because ETH is hard to increase at this time but bitcoin is easier to increase and the bottom line wil be 750$- 810$ so that is good choice to convert it. Good luck, Guy.

I tend to hold 100 ETH. You can earn long term profit from ETHER, it is very reliable, the second best genius team in the whole crypto coins world. After last years huge dump, the price is holding above 0.01 BTC, which is rather stable now. If its price will be 0.007 BTC again, buy ETHER as much as possible, with all of your bitcoin.

Hold a good 40 ETH

It will pay off when staking later and the value of ETH will have its surge someday too. Smart investers diversify their investments anyway. I'd go 40/60. Don't quote me but I think that you want 35+ ETH to get full interest when staking ETH and any less when it enters POS will earn less interest. Again do not quote me. If someone can correct me that would be good.

I'm about 40/60 myself but mainly because I am holding my mined ETH and my current BTC is what I've gotten from insta selling whatever I mine now

I would wait for next price spike of ethereum and then sell half of it. Don't be inpatient price will raise in the futur but then grab the opportunity before it goes back to normal.

Of course bitcoin is good choice I had some Ethereum and when started bugs from it, I sold them fast and bought bitcoin, because bitcoin is old well known and have good future, but it is your choice you can go 50/50 too because ether price is good now. good luck in your choice Sir

Why anyone would pick eth over btc is beyond me. Btc is tested and true and eth is plagued with bugs. Its an easy choice. Like I said before. 1 btc.

if now you are getting profit than when you buy, then i suggest you to sell wit 50/50 and keep the bitcoin in your wallet but if you want to play with long term, then hold it as long as you want. but i don't recommendation for hold in long term if you are not sure with ether because i will stick to hold bitcoin than hold ether in long term.
