Topic: ETH or BTC to have highest % gains in the anticipated bull run? - page 2. (Read 283 times)

Thanks very much for the replies and insight.

I think 60/40 sounds about right to me.
I'd like to increase my investment by doing a bit of trading while waiting for the bull-run. I also think the hype around the ETF is a good opportunity for a profit.
Do we know when the announcement by SEC is due?
To make this work it'd be handy to have the exact time the announcement comes - so as to make a fast maneuver on sell or hold.

After this hopeful pump I'll then go in for some ethereum if it's still down as the long-term profit margin - provided it could really get to 10% at some point would be very profitable.
As currently it's only at about 4%. So if history repeats itself, and the bitcoin dips while Ethereum contiunes to pump for a bit - it'd be a good return from where it's at now. Although if the only time Ethereum has a chance of hitting 10% is when bitcoin is in decline it may not be the 20x return i was just dreaming of 

Bittraffic, yeah that's always the fear. What if i miss the wave. Frankly i get very anxious when i've cashed out to fiat and am not holding. (like right now as i 'predicted' this to be a bull-trap last night)  I end up staring at live charts all day as a result. Waiting for my moment. I really wish you could somehow have both a stop-limit buy and stop-limit sell simultaneously with one pot of cash. I guess that'd be a bot... It would save a lot a faff for sure.

More like " I do like dreaming". You're not the only. Of course a lot of the people here are already thinking of cashing out thousands of USD while having just 5ETH in their account. Dumping every time the price spikes isn't really hard to think of but when you are really there executing trades, you'd worry whether the price really will dip after a slight spike.

I'd recommend you to go 60% btc and the rest in ETH.

BTC price could up in the upcoming weeks following the uptrend that we've seen over the past few days which I believe is the recovery phase. Since Septemper will be the month when the SEC will make announcement regarding the Bitcoin ETF (which will most likely get delayed or rejected), there could be a pump in the price due to the hype around it so you could  make some small and decent profits, if you're going for a short-term strategy that it.

If you're going long-term, current prices shouldn't matter so it's better to just buy now and wait for the next bull run, which may or may not come this year. Overall, allocate a higher % of your invesment in BT (it's always a safe bet), Ethereum could go always go up if it follows the btc uptrend.

i think ETH have more  pottential then BTC in %, but BTC will be TOP currency during 4-5 years.

Too hard to say, nobody knows, but BTC is secure investiment, I believe BTC can grow 100% till next January, instead ETH I believe can grow 300% i same time.
My opinion if you can do a great investiment go 50/50 buy both coins. Small investiment with low risk with BTC cause of security investiment, but if you really want to keep the risk go with ETH.

What has happened before, the price of ethereum or other altcoins will rise after Bitcoin Bullrun and prices stabilize.
So buy Bitcoin first, after BTC Bullrun sells at the top. And buy ethereum.
Maybe that's all I know.

I suggest BTC. Because right now all the people are looking at the price of the BTC and they ware waiting to buy the BTC. For past few weeks we didn't see a good price movements in ETH. But that doesn't mean that the ETH is not good. But for now, I think buying BTC will be a good option.

Personnaly, i prefer to invest in Bitcoin vs ETH or other altcoins. The gains could maybe be less, but the loss is also lesser. For the moment, BTC is more bullish than altcoins. Altcoins fall more easily.

It is hard to say what will happen with ETH in next BTC pump, usually all altcoins follow BTC on a rising path - but recently this is not the case. ETH is lost around 500$ in last 3 months while BTC has maintained its value at pretty much the same level.

If we check December 19 of last year, price of 1 BTC is reach 19k+ and 1 ETH at the same time around 800$. When BTC is start to lose value ETH is start to rise more and hit 1400$ (Jan 14, 2018) in time BTC was down some 5k$.

So in one point of time ETH was worth 10% of BTC value, this is the best that this coin managed to do for now. In my opinion ETH can one day reach at the same point, 10% of BTC value - so if one day value of BTC hit 50k $ maybe ETH can be 5000$.

As I see it, the BTC is the fastest growing coin, if we can see that the growth of ETH is very slow, maybe in a short time I will succeed.

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying further into Ethereum and Bitcoin as and when i get paychecks.
I've read so many conflicting views on the top altcoins - that i would rather go with a 'safer' bet of Ethereum + Bitcoin.

I'm hoping to cash out somewhere near the top of the coming bull run and then buy back in during the subsequent dip.
At the peak of the next bull run, which out of the two do you predict will have made most profit based on an investment at the current prices?
(for reference: Bitcoin is currently at $7033 and Ethereum: $288)

Are they predicted to go up more or less in tandem. I.E: maybe they both go up 200% value in USD at the peak of the run, or they both go up 350% in value at the peak. E.T.C
Or is one favoured to gain more? I wander as Ethereum appears to be up shit creek at the moment, and I've read a lot of people saying it will take a 'long time' for it to get back to where it should be. If this is presumed so..... wouldn't it be wiser to invest in Bitcoin now - and sell out at the top of the run, then buy back in with a mixture of Ethereum and Bitcoin?
Or am I missing something..

I know I should just HOLD, as i don't really understand this market, but I do like speculating
