Topic: Bitcoin vs Ethereum? (Read 1989 times)

For me bitcoin will always have the edge over ethereum because its name is synonymous to cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is able to break the barrier and get many people to be interested in cryptocurrency. However ethereum have some useful real life applications and provide a platform for so many other tokens to thrive.

I prefer long-term investments because of the greater profits later on, and I think the right choice for my long-term investment is Bitcoin, Bitcoin already has a lot of trust from so many people so I'm also confident choosing Bitcoin for my investment.

the development of coins sat this much experience increased. start of the Bitcoin until Storj. with so many coins has increased in terms of price. I am more encouraged with Bitcoin with prices.

Jörg von Minckwitz, chief executive of Bitrowa, a blockchain payment service, pointed out that due to the rise of the ICO (initial token offering) project, Ethereum has seen additional growth.

In other words, to invest in a new project, you must buy Ethereum.

Both coins are important and are the engine of the crypto currency. Therefore, it is impossible to single out one thing. Ideally, your portfolio should have both of these coins

Bitcoin advocates appreciate Satoshi's absence and have a more rigorous definition of decentralization of power management. They believe that Bitcoin's governance is decentralized because no single decision maker can control the entire network alone. According to their definition, Ethereum of Vitalik, which can represent and make decisions for the entire network, is not decentralized. In addition, the community tends to be separated from the government, and some developers aim to establish a sufficiently strong system to avoid any regulatory interference. In addition, many Bitcoin-based applications emphasize decentralization and demediatedization.

Ethereum supporters believe that the Ethereum community is democratic and there are some influential people such as Vitalik and Gavin Wood. Vitalik provides a clear direction for community guidance. At the same time, the community accepted most of his views not because he was the creator, but his ideas proved to be correct in most cases. Therefore, conflicts and previous hard bifurcations are more easily controlled because people with different opinions can choose to work on their own versions. Unlike Bitcoin, the Ethereum's stability and maturity have yet to be improved, but its communities have become more united and continue to make progress. In addition, since Ethereum's supporters have a more relaxed understanding of decentralization, they are more friendly to government and established companies, and their projects will be extended to licensing chains and private chains based on business needs.

Its quite true that when it comes to potential for growth ethereum has the edge compared to bitcoin but in the recent crash bitcoin's value has dropped a lot making it much easier to buy and hold again which I think puts it again above ethereum in terms of investment options.

I will keep both long, more is eth

ETH is more promising due to the use of Blockchain in different spheres and the real world. And what is Bitcoin? It was created just to exchange it with each other, but there are no developments on its network! 

Now the price for btc is growing every day by 1-3%.  The price of eth increases every day by 5-6%.  I think now eth is better than btc.

Both coins are very good and it is quite fair that they occupy the first two lines.It does not make sense to compare them completely different

Both of this two heavy weights of crytocurrency have played a vital role in the crypto community. But if we talk about potential I can't agree with your statement which ETH has more potential than BTC. BTC can be replace by any other coin even by ETH.

I think 2018 is the year of Ethereum.

I invest in both coins. It seems to me that these are the most reliable and promising projects. For long-term investment is the best choice.

Bitcoin is big boss. Eth is general manager

In any case, grandfather bitcoin will always be the leader, This is unequivocal. Etherium has hard times, and apparently they will last a long time, but I think he will survive, and will become even stronger due to these tests. But I would not compare Bitcoin and Ether - it's like comparing the Internet and the app in appstore.

Well, first of all, you must understand that there is no logical comparison among Ethereum and bitcoin.

Bitcoin is created as an alternative to regular money and is thus a medium of payment transaction and store of value, Ethereum is developed as a platform which facilitates peer-to-peer contracts and applications via its own currency vehicle.

If your only sense for comparing both is the market capital, then my answer will be "It could be possible, but it will take years before that happen".
There are a lot many uptrends around Bitcoin, with lightning network coming in place and FOMO money driving in Crypto, the Bitcoin dominance is supposedly to increase back above 50%.

for myself for a long term investment I choose Ethereum because if we choose Ethineum's old investment potentially will increase in the coming year.

Bitcoin leads the market for now and future i think. Eth have much better features as fast and cheap transaction but BTC is the most popular one to buy first.

Seems like a lot of people who prefer Ethereum here. Personally I would go for Bitcoin. It has been tested the most and if it goes to zero, the market will probably too. I don't think that is the case with Ethereum.
