for now, I prefer Bitcoin over Ethereum because Bitcoin is better than Ethereum. Bitcoin's future is more promising and many people say next year Bitcoin will make the highest price again.

ethereum is altcoin which has many advantages. and using smart contract platform. so it's better than the others in altcoin. so I prefer ethereum as a long term investment. now bitcoin is not good for invest because it is expensive. other than that transaction fee is also very expensive. I prefer ethereum

For my crypto, I maintain an allocation of 45% BTC, 35% ETH, and 20% alts.

Although I have some alts that I hold long-term, I trade most of this stack.

I periodically rebalance to maintain this allocation.

It's worked well!  Sold ETH to buy BTC a few weeks ago (at ETH/BTC=0.054), and bought some ETH back yesterday (at ETH/BTC = 0.0295).

I think bitcoin is still worth investing rather than ethereum even if the value of bitcoin is so high right now because it is expected that bitcoin price will still go even much higher than its value today though ethereum is expected to go higher in the coming years still it cannot surpass the value appreciation bitcoin has ever reach and I think it is more risky to take ethereum.

For now bitcoin growth is better than ethereum, so for bitcoin prices it has a good profit margin but with a higher risk level.
and for ethereum with a fairly stable price will make this coin can be a long-term investment that will provide benefits in the future.

Hi,
I feel bitcoin is too expensive to invest in atm, i was close to buying 5BTC back in September but thought it was expensive then (what a mistake)

I know it could still rise a lot more but with what i have available to invest, isn't gonna be life changing for me.

So I'm looking to invest and hodl altcoins and a lot of people seem to have faith in ETH even though the network had had problems recently.

Anyone think it still has good potential to rise a lot?
According to my research the price of both will increase with the passage of time but it is expected that the price of bitcoin will be at a faster speed than ethereum so you will get benefit in your investment in both of them. Bitcoin will be at a more benefit than ethereum. But anyway it depends on your will. You will not lose in both of them

Both crypto-currencies have the potential for growth, so I don't recommend selling all bitcoins to buy an ETC, but diversifying your investments is a good idea.

Why you didn't push your plan of buying on September? Price now is totally different from that month and it was totally high.

I know it could still rise a lot more but with what i have available to invest, isn't gonna be life changing for me.
It will be life changing, where do you live? If you aren't so sure if by investing today with the rise will not make your life change just invest as it is.

So I'm looking to invest and hodl altcoins and a lot of people seem to have faith in ETH even though the network had had problems recently.

Talking about good potential rise bitcoin is the best choice for it.

That's a hard decision, though! Bitcoin in itself a very profitable investment option. But the price, you see, is very high and is expected to reach $30k by the end of 2k17. And as far as ethereum is concerned, it also has a potential to reach $1k. Comparatively, ethereum is easy to buy because of lower price. You can invest some of your money in btc and some in ETH. That would help because both the options are lucrative and have vast potential to rise in near future.

I think it is an easy decision, for portfolio balance you should have both ETH and BTC.

Why bitcoin or ethereum? Should include Litecoin in for a better comparison. LTC grew pretty well these days.

I'd go Eth in your case. It will boom next year, and you will have relatively 'much'. Btc will rise higher, but crash harder. (I'm a noob in this world, this is all  gut feeling. Could be talking a load of shit, as any fortuneteller)

I would recommend you to invest 75% of your money into Ethereum, and 25% into Bitcoin. Bitcoin's price is already too high, and it's not suitable for small investors. But Ethereum is still not that high, and can make you some great profits within a year. Many people think that its smart decision to Buy Bitcoin at 18-20k$, but those people are just like the crowd who speak what others are speaking. Bitcoin is feature rich and it is accepted in more places than Ethereum, but if your main motive is investing than Ethereum is more profitable than Bitcoin in that sense. Many investors believe that Ethereum will reach 1200$ within a year, and if that happens then you will get more than 100% profits. For example if you put 10k$ into Ethereum and it reaches 1200$ peak, then you will have made more than 21k$ within a year.

Ethereum is very potential in my opinion, although few days there is a problem with ethereum network. there are still many ICOs running under the ethereum network. it's hard to guess, but I'm sure ethereum will touch $ 1000 in the near future. besides ethereum if you want to invest i suggest LTC good choice. the potential to go up to $ 400 is possible at the beginning of 2018. if you want to invest in bitcoin for now is not too late, but the price is already very high, it takes a lot of capital to invest in bitcoin if you look at the current price. But Bitcoin is the best investment...

Investing in a particular coin isn't what matters. What actually matters is investing, any coin whatsoever. Investing in any of the coins will surely bring profits so I'd suggest you try out both of them. You may split ur capital into two and hold for a while,  as you know bitcoin is already high and Ethereum has the potential to go higher. In this way,  you will know which coin to go for probably after 3 months.

If I were you, I would invest directly in Bitcoin. I would say that Bitcoin value will increase faster than Ethereum. Ethereum is interesting because of its token support. However, there were many scam ICOs this year and many people lost their money. Also, if you were interested in investing in ICOs, you have to keep in mind that it can take a few months before you will get your money back. Not to mention the profit.

Sounds like to me that you have ~$20k to invest. Long term holding will be the key for you. Try to forget about the news and everything like that and check back in a years time to see your profits. As for which coin to invest in, since you have a good amount of capital, why not split 50/50 in both BTC and ETH? They're both great coins with a strong foundation so you know they're not going anywhere.

Both of them are good... but Bitcoin is the first invented cryptocurrencies.  so it has more demand than Ethereum...But now a days Ethereum is try to reach the top...

Exactly, both Ethereum and Bitcoin is good to invest, but like what said bitcoin is the best when it comes to gain a profit. And for Ethereum is a good for long term hold or investment.

Well, Etherum is the second most popular cryptocurrency, after bitcoin. I like diversifying my stash and etherum is a great way of increasing it as well. I prioritize bitcoin investments, but I also plan on expanding and including etherum in it. The anwser is a question, do you want to diversify or not? Do you want possibly more cash combined in the end? Then invest both in etherum and bitcoin.
