Topic: ETH vs btc? - page 2. (Read 11703 times)
Ethereum and bitcoin are completely different and offer different things, in terms of an investment I would always hold both as they are the two superpowers of cryptocurrencies, do not be surprised if this time next year we are talking of 20k+ BTC and 1k+ ETH.
Ethereum is the improved version of btc in my opinion , but with a much smaller market cap and a very different behavior of miners toward this coin .
Ethereum is maybe the only coin that can challenge btc because it got lots of improvements in terms of blocks and code , hasn't been invested in as much as bitcoin which made it's price growth very slower .If i were to mine i'd definitely go for Ethereum because i'm certain that it's price will increase a lot in the few coming years since people will be preferring it's features on any other alt .

I strongly disagree with you. Ethereum is not the better version of bitcoin. Ethereum is totally different than bitcoin and it has much better features compared to bitcoin's current old structure.
Please learn how to differentiate them from each other first.
ETH vs btc 
Bitcoin is a better choice because Ethereum is mainly focusing on smart contracts while Bitcoin is doing real payments.

The good thing about Ethereum is that for the last time it was very stable. It seems like people are not expecting x2-4 ETH pump anymore and now it is clother to its real value based on the value of ICOs. BTC is still my choice but the fact that ico eth won't be so overpriced is definetely good.

That's not a very good comparision to make. It's unfair for any altcoin to be compared with bitcoin. Bitcoin will always be superior to any alt coin. Ethereum on the otherway is very precious. For me it's the best alt coin in very aspect. These are both good and safe investments if you are looking for steady and safe kind of investment.
ETH vs btc
I think you should invest in both of them as both of the cryptocurrencies have enormous potential to grow. Bitcoin, without any doubt is the most popular crypto is the most stable crypto available in the market. Ethereum on the other hand is the master of all smart contracts has one of the strongest development teams makes it a crypto worth investing. Investing in both of thems can help you earn high returns.

In my opinion, they are not suitable to compare. I think this two are the best ones of the cryptocurrency world, but they are really different from each other.
You are kidding right ? It is well known that very few individuals in china make up 70%+ of the bitcoin hashrate and that will most likely increase to over 90% after the halving. Right now 90% of the bitcoin is traded in CNY, another hard proof https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/btc/analysis/USD
Every crypto out there is somewhat centralized, trying to perfectly decentralize something is impossible, especially mining since lower electricity= more miners/hashrate. Ethereum is far from being centralized, especially since chinese cannot farm it with the asics they build with 50$ and sell for 2000$+ like in the case of bitcoin, litecoin and many others.
P.S: 99.5% of LTC volume is permanently changing chinese hands, they're artificially trying to keep the prices up to atract more fools. Proof: 99.5% of LTC is traded in CNY currency https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/ltc/analysis/BTC , lol talk about centralization.
Thanks for showing us cryptocompare.com! Very good resource indeed!
You're not really asking a question, but I'll assume you're looking for the pros and cons of each cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin:
Pros:
-First cryptocurrency to really take off
-Strong community
-High value
-Lots of hashing power and thus relative security
-Lots of services and accepted in a lot of places
Cons:
-Slightly long transaction time
-Blocks might be small
Ethereum:
Pros:
-Favors coders
-New and relatively highly valued
-Strong Dev base
Cons:
-Favors coders
-Not widely accepted
-More centralized than Bitcoin
There's probably more but I don't know what they are for right now.

I haven't explore Ethereum yet but I like your comparison it seems transparent enough although not complete,Ethereum is still a work of progress and a lot of great are to come on this crypto currency so in short period of time we will see more pros and lessen cons than Bitcoin..
They are not against each other, no need for comparison since both of them will definitely succeed in the long run.
ETH will be one of the coins where ppl might store their profits from upcoming bitcoin rise. In short, first btc will rise high, then when it(if) it reaches bubble
stage, money will go into alts instead of fiat. imho ofc.

Eth has potential to beat bitcoin in the near future if bitcoin will be hold or stop at proce rising.Eth is just like bitcoin when it started.Eth can be a candidate to beat bitcoin in the market as well as ltc because both of them are good coins and good devs like what bitcoin have.Eth is continous rising from tine to time,but as of now bitcoin is still over eth but in the near future eth may be at the same line whete bitcoin is
eth movement and quality on the market right now is so incredible. there is some chance that speculated that eth can beat bitcoin. however I still believe bitcoin will still be the best because bitcoin is the origin of the digital coin.
Well Ethereum is a Platform after all, not a coin. I think nothing will get the throne from Bitcoin soon, but there for sure will be other coins/platforms that will go hand to hand with it. We will see how ETH will do in the near future - it's still new and has potential, but I can't compare it to Bitcoin...
You are so right, but from mine point of view we should NEVER FORGET eth is PREMINED 72M from Vitalik ass! also some big problem from my point is centralization due huge primene on top of that ethereum is waiting few hard forks to some future concept upgrade to POS and we know nothing of it security and usability
I don't know the numbers (does anyone? ), but I'd say bitcoin's community is ENORMOUS compared to ethereum's. That in and of itself is all the comparison you need. I'm not sure exactly what eth is going to turn out to be in the crypto space, but right now bitcoin is where it's at. It's like comparing btc to ltc or doge or waves.
Could change and probably will. I just don't have the stomach for putting any significant money into altcoins for the long term.

Other one is "the one true cryptocurrency" and the other one is a platform for distributed applications. So there is no "vs" between them!
