Moreover, the features that bitcoins exhibit are lacking in other coins. Security concerns also increases with other coins. In short, I believe only a moron can prefer eth over bitcoins.
As of now yes, i's also choose btc over eth since btc is by far the altcoin of the moment and probably for another couple of years. Though i'm not belittling eth because it has really good features if you think about it. Perhaps etherium's time hasn't yet come full circle but i think it will.
The split of chains is just a myth right now and provably this issue is been used by those people who want to gain from this current events but look what happen for the past down price happening bitcoin bounce back and the current price is not bad as what happen way back before. And I can still provably say that those bad mouths will be shut when august 1 passes by since the one we can expect that is the high price hike.
