I totally agree with this. These students basically got hours and hours off studying the matter. They had to come up with something not to disappoint professor etc. I think they give massive insight on how youth is dealing with cryptocurrency, hence, very interesting.

I dont think thats true, most people only care about bump and dump, not discussing about actual prospects of BTC, ETH or any other coin

that's what i mean. business students might make the mistake of attempting to look into fundamentals when there are none. it's all smoke and mirrors. someone who hangs out here would know that.

same goes for the forks and dao disaster. no one who hasn't educated themselves would know anything about that and they're far more important than bullshit future adoption.

In general you are right, but they only talk about BTC and ETH, and they have done their research. I dont say there are no flaws but its an interesting project, short period videos, anyone can see for some minutes. The more someone learns about cryptos the better i think, no matter the source

I think listening to these studies provide good insight in possible future price projections.

listen to studies carried out on people who actually know what crypto means and entails. not a bunch of noobs who won't understand the intricacies unless they have a lot of time spare.

check the track record of predictions from mainstream 'experts' on crypto. it's pitiful.

Listen Pal, I  have become a millionaire in USD from 2006 to 2017 in my own way. I think listening to these studies provide good insight in possible future price projections. Of course one can bet against, hence I only own about $450 in crypto now, about to double to $1k tomorrow. I am a buy and hold kinda guy. I like advises but not in the matter you provide them to me.

I saw all those videos, very interesting indeed,i tend to agree with them about the 70%-30% long term. Also if someone choose to invest in other altcoins it should be money he doesnt count important short term

what the hell does a business student understand about crypto? a moron who's spent a few months here would have a ton more knowledge than any of them.

I am trying to get and maintain 70/30 BTC/ETH this year

Eventually going to 70/25/5 BTC/ETH/Altcoins beginning 2018

My main reason for this is that Kraken held a survey under Business Universities asking 800 students how they would invest BTC/ETH percentage wise. Most students chose 70/30. You can find the results here on Kraken website (no referral link or anything):

i don't see a huge amount of upside with eth for a while. it can't have the super pump it had last year again. if you're looking to gamble put a lower ratio in the top 10 coins at poloniex. more potential return with less risk.
Everything is gamble, even BTC. You can invest in every coin which has good volume of trade and has high position in market capitalization..Alts have better return in every case. BTC is more adopted and accepted but slower in terms of returning of invested.

if you want the possibility of big returns with high risk, there are better coins than ETH... hold bitcoin or go for something that can really make you rich in a few years.
do you see ETH going to 1000%? i dont. maybe some profit, but nothing extraordinary... so to me, doesnt worth the risk.

such as? pascal coin Cheesy

I am in dilemma. Should buy ETH and hold it or buy bitcoin and hold it.Which one do you thing going to give best and high return in next one year?

No you should look at what tezos is building because it has the potential to overtake ETH... why? gov in the protocol... consensus on hardforks and absorb future tech

Totally agreeing with Ayers on this case. I Consider doing the same, eventually all my altcoins and ETH is ending up as BTC. This comes from a buy and hold kinda guy.

this is not a dillema bro, how can you compare the king to an altcoin? bitcoin is the strongest and most accepted and most mined, also just buy bitcoin if you want to have a secure fortune in the future, altcoin are only there to make you more rich in bitcoin, trust me they are not stable and are not meant to remain in circulation forever

I think I ould choose to Buy BTC in my opinion. Bitcoin is poised to appreciate more this year and I read somewhere that it will reach $1,600++ dollars this year. I read also that Japan will accept bitcoin as payments and Philippines is also following. I think its a great opportunity ahead with bitcoin.
That's not going to give you a good return in short term of time, though, those things you mentioned above just a pure speculation. As have been stated by OP that he's looking for best and high return within one year and I guess altcoin will be suited well for him rather than bitcoin. best and high return means he needs the volatility and regardless of the risk which he may burden while trading the coin or holding and yeah I choose Ethereum instead for OP.

the only safe investment among cryptocurrencies, specially when you are thinking long term is bitcoin and nothing else.
other altcoins can be good too such as litecoin and monero and even ethereum but it is best if you treat them in short term not long. meaning buy in a dip and sell when they rise to add to your bitcoin holding.

ethereum can be profitable but it is full of problems and has some bugs too. there are some good news on the way and it may be pumped again, but i am waiting for a good opportunity to get in and seek profit. for now bitcoin price is rising up again and in case it rises suddenly and big, ethereum price may drop.

For me I recommend you to choose Bitcoin while it's hot because this is the year we will go to the moon. Why not take the opportunity to buy despite the price is high right now. Ethereum still in a nutshell but it's worth to invest though, a little. Don't risk your money if you can't afford to take with your investment.
