bitcoin is fully decentralized unlike ethereum. Bitcoin total supply is still 21 million, ethereum supply is manipulated now as some other are burnt in transaction fee.  totally decentralized currency that is not controlled directly by certain people, bitcoin is what to go for, this is what ethereum can not achieve as it is still controlled by some set of man admit that some technologies created by new projects look more interesting, but cannot be the ultimate reason to ignore Bitcoin Ethereum has been moving toward deflation, but bitcoin was deflationary from the beginning. Bitcoin doesn't always have democratic transfer fees, but Ethereum has even higher fees,

For those new to crypto, the first coin they will hear about will be bitcoin and not any altcoins, this is almost everyone's habit. The technology of bitcoin can't be compared with the technology of altcoins, but BTC is the creator of the crypto market, so people will always have a special affection for it.
This only applies back on the 2016 era when cryptos are not really known. The number of coins is not huge as today and the only popular coin that time is only bitcoin but now that cryptos have exploded, we have now tons of new additional coins and tokens are now born aside from altcoins. Most new comers now will not now bitcoin first but they will soon know it if they will stay here because they will also research further in order to improve their crypto knowledge.

Technology of bitcoin is not comparable to altcoins because bitcoins technology is too superior. Ethereum and btc are great contenders but eth were left behind. There's no good things that happened to eth anymore.

But one day I also cannot be fully sure that Bitcoin will continue to survive. The existence of new technology with several advantages over Bitcoin makes it possible for people to choose it. This is because technology is evolving, people are getting smarter creating technology and creating opportunities for profit. So Bitcoin may be replaced but I don't know when it will happen.
Are you explaining the technology behind the project of some altcoins, mate? Sure, there are many projects that have great technology and potentially surpass Bitcoin. But I'm still optimistic that Bitcoin will be always the favorite and the number 1 in crypto industry. I admit that some technologies created by new projects look more interesting, but cannot be the ultimate reason to ignore Bitcoin. Bitcoin already existed for more than 10 years, and it proved to us that no other altcoins have the capability to replace it. Even altcoins offer bigger profits, top players in crypto keep their priority in Bitcoin investment.

So why do you prefer Bitcoin if Ethereum seems superior?
Or maybe I'm missing something that makes Bitcoin actually better than Ethereum in some way?

Ethereum also has its flaws, and, from a security perspective, the smart contracts used in the Ethereum network are very susceptible to hacks and exploits, which occur every month in different protocols. More recently, Ethereum has been moving toward deflation, but bitcoin was deflationary from the beginning. Bitcoin doesn't always have democratic transfer fees, but Ethereum has even higher fees, especially when the Ethereum network gets spammed with all sorts of transactions related to different tokens.

Still, I think the purpose of these two assets is different. Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency investment asset, and Ethereum is more of a coin for interacting with different ecosystems in the crypto industry.

Comparing these two is like comparing apples to elevators.

Bitcoin is a distributed ledger intended on providing fast, cheap, and transparent transactions.

Ethereum is a smart-contract platform that has completely different principles, goals, and tokenomics.

The issue is that ethereum is trying to solve issues that can be solved in a much more efficient way without the use of ANY blockchain. Bitcoin's only issue to solve was the double spending problem and taking the governments power to control/manipulate the native currency.

Ethereum is completely and totally theoretical and has not been shown to provide any real use as of today.

Bitcoin and Etherium are the two most popular cryptocurrencies. These two coins have their own advantages.Bitcoin is currently the most talked about digital currency in the world. Which is the number one position cryptocurrency.Etherium is the second largest currency in cryptocurrency. If Bitcoin hadn't been born, Ethereum might not have existed.People use Bitcoin the most in terms of investment and popularity.
agree, it is clear that we and all of us also know that currently and possibly in the future bitcoin and ethereum will remain the most popular. bitcoin will remain a very high chance and many are looking for it to be a very attractive investment but ethereum also cannot be ignored is a coveted after bitcoin. even so if you compare bitcoin with ethereum it is clearly difficult and nothing can beat bitcoin.
maybe there are many other altcoins that want to replace ethereum but none are trying to want to replace bitcoin, therein lies the glaring difference.

Yes it is these two crypto are the most common and known cryptocurrencies and for me theres no point of comparing which one is better because both crypto has their own use and value. We all know that bitcoin is the most dominant coin in cryptocurrency and also known as the most worth it investment. Ethereum is also a good investment and to be honest I do invest in it and also bitcoin and I can say that they both are good one but as I have said earlier I can say that there's no point of comparing each one another.

Because simply reason is the Bitcoin is supported by majority of people and Ethereum is just like another coin that may end in the future .

and also if you are telling everything that made this truth then why Big investors still investing in Bitcoin than Ethereum?
example is PayPal or other big companies? those institutional investors that chooses Bitcoin still than Ethereum .
Of course, the consensus of trust in Bitcoin makes its value extraordinary. As long as the consensus continues to exist and grows, the value will be even greater.
As for PayPal, it looks like we should ask PayPal. Those who know for sure, and we're here might just be guessing. I think because Bitcoin is the first generation of blockchain and that's its special value.
as if PayPal will spend time answering us here  Grin ,

But what you are saying is something relevant to what we are having in crypto because all of us can only speculate the prices and future value but none of us can completely give the exact price in the coming time.

and also PayPal had been bring Big effect in the market when they start adopting Bitcoin though their motive is still in table if being valid or not.

Bitcoin and Etherium are the two most popular cryptocurrencies. These two coins have their own advantages.
Never forget  that There are many coins in list that making its way high . and remember that there is Binance in which one of the hottest and faster increasing currency now.

if we ask a lot of people if they've ever heard of bitcoin or ethereum then i'm 100% sure people haven't really heard of ethereum.  bitcoin is perfect compared to Ethereum, besides that Bitcoin is far from manipulating supply and very fully decentralized.  unmatched bitcoin.
Or likely they've heard about it but always in doubt to know the pieces of information. Most of them thinks it's just an easy money and if you get it, it's the path to great wealth when totally it's not if they'll paper hand it in the short amount of time. Yeah Ethereum is unheard but if you'd match it with the use cases and asked developers in mind you'd be surprised on what would be the rating between Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Well, why not have both of them if you think that any of those are superior and you see the other is also superior in the sight of the other investors. But honestly, it's because being the first in the market is very important and bitcoin is like the gold of the crypto market. I think I've seen the same discussion years ago that people are getting into bitcoin because it's stable, not the value but bitcoin itself is a stable asset that you'll be sure to have it someday if you hold it. While in Ethereum, it's quality is good as it is but this time, it's fee is one of the discouragement that we have which has been said for bitcoin bitcoin.
I guess both of them have their own real use case so they don't have to act as competitors. Bitcoin is digital gold, while ethereum is digital universe. The creation of ethereum is inspired by bitcoin. However, ,bitcoin is still traded more than ethereum. And what it makes more unique is its fully decentralized blockchain, while ethereum and most of the altcoins are said to be more centralized. That makes bitcoin as the most favored by most of the investors and traders.

Its been discussed often and yes since Mother of crypto currency goes first always. Yes its growth built confidence in everyone and it drew everyone into crypto platform. Yes Ethereum being the 2nd currency and ethereum network has brought in value to it. Yes we can hopefully invest in ETH. ETH will always follow Bitcoin's growth. Hence I would prefer Bitcoin.

I think the reason why Bitcoin would always best out most of these other crypto currencies in the market is because that it is truly decentralized. Other cryptocurrencies that you are going to see are not fully decentralized, and in one way or the other they are being controlled by some people, although they would say that they are decentralized.
So that means that Bitcoin is the true decentralized cryptocurrency you would find, and I think that is enough to say that it is better than most other crypto currencies and even ethereum.

Bitcoin is not necessarily better than Ethereum, but everyone supports bitcoin because it is the birthplace of the cryptocurrency market, creating a world of financial freedom for us thanks to the concept of decentralization. Satoshi is the creator of bitcoin but he is completely anonymous and no longer visible, which makes bitcoin safer than many other altcoins. Ethereum has Vitalik Buterin and he is still the head and most important developer of ETH. It would be some kind of risk that if he announced his departure from ETH or something happened to him, ETH would fail.
You should know that not everyone supports bitcoin. There are people that are against bitcoin. Some says it is too slow, that it has no any use case other than buying and selling while other blames it for "environmental damages". Most of them hates or doesn't support bitcoin because they really don't know how bitcoin works or only because they never invested in it when they had the chance to and now they are bitter. The same case for ETH, but ETH is shifting to PoS.
Because bitcoin uses blockchain technology, that made bitcoin more appealing than ethereum. And secondly, because it brings financial freedom to those early adopters in bitcoin, the reason why most of the people now trust more bitcoin than ethereum. Though these two coins have always been dominating in the market, but its very clear that bitcoin still has the highest value in the crypto market.
What? Ethereum doesn't use the blockchain technology?

Ethereum is good as well in the sense that it offers smart contracts, but it is lacking when it comes to what Bitcoin has to offer. With that said, all of them are good, it just depends on what you want.
There is no doubt that both ethereum and bitcoin are both useful and profitable for us. But knowing bitcoin is fully decentralized, that gives him an edge. Because it is more known that crypto means freedom, so we always find the best investment that will give us more freedom. And since bitcoin is the king of crypto, and it always dominates the market, so that made people to decide to focus more on bitcoin than ethereum.
Its been justified and shown that Bitcoin is always the king yet sitting on the top ranking for a decade plus which does simply means that it couldnt be easily replaced by some altcoins in the market which

is something centralized or not totally a decentralized one which is that isnt supposed to be if we do talk about cryptocurrencies but speaking with profitability then this is something that talks about

making more options the more better you would have chance on gaining something.It isnt just that you do stick into one because diversification would always be best.

If any nation wanted to punish ethereum traders in their localities, they just point at  Buterin as being a Canadian-Russian. Bitcoin creator is a mystery, while Some believe it was created by the West, others believe Russians created it while commoners believe is one man from Japan, so everyone just accept it. ETH has smartcontract that is fantastic, so many other platforms have a better smartcontract protocol than ETH network, currently, I don't trade on ETH network again because the fees are to high heavens, killing business. ETH has no cap but Btc supply is fixed from genesis.

Bitcoin really can't be compared to altcoins, even though it's Ethereum, because bitcoin is a decentralized coin whose price is of course difficult to control by one-sided people, in contrast to altcoins whose price can be manipulated and can be controlled by someone or a big trader, so I think Bitcoin and Ethereum both have different technologies.
