to do ROI [return on investment], or better if you spend 10000usd to buy asics or rigs, ROI is how many day, or months or years you need to rise 10000usd and return at zero, from the -10000usd.
the most important parameter is the electricity cost.
here an easy resource where you can do some computation with your future mining hardware

good luck!

As many have said above, I think the best solution is always to diversify. There's no need to invest in just one coin.

I think Ethereum will get you a better ROI in the long run, because it has more functional usage (fast transaction times, low fees, tons of great apps being built on top of it). Also, it has a much lower market cap than bitcoin which gives it more room to grow.

I will choose both of them, depends on one specific purpose that i will use different kind of coin, if i want to trade for profit, of course i will choose to use bitcoin, but when i want to buy altcoin, i can use eth for long term investment.

Actually I prefer hold bitcoins and etherium at the same time. I think this two are more stable now and will get profit for you from a year or more. If you whould like to trade you should check some altcoins imho.

Ethereum has more difference than bitcoin. Smartcontract technology owned to be superior to other altcoin. Just because different births are in crypto currency. So bitcoin is more valuable than eth. Suppose bitcoin and ethereum appear together. Eth would be superior. For investment I prefer Ethereum for the long term in the future.

For mining, I think ETH is better. The difficulty is not so high and the profit is quite good. However, in just 7 months the difficulty increased considerably so I don't know for how long it will be a good investment

I highly doubt it'll go up like ethereum. The amount of people who know about bitcoin is a lot more than people who know about eth. In mainstream news, there's talk about btc, but never eth. Because of this popularity, new crypto users are a lot more likely to invest in bitcoin. I'd say bitcoin will still go up a lot in the future.

the future of bitcoin it will be just a brand from which when it all began and if compared with the Efirium then this is a super computer and bitcoin is a calculator. everything is obvious

Bitcoin is always act as a king and price will go up  Ethereum is very stable in this moment. Ethereum is good investment for long term. Because most ICO projects are based with Ethereum.

if we talk about small amount of investment, i'd rather choose ethereum, because btc is so high to invest and gain from that small amount. on the other hand, in the long run, btc looks like more steady. in the end, ethereum is an altcoin. so, maybe dividing the investment seems more accurate. but it's your risk and choice.

I assume you are talking about building a starter's crypto portfolio. Best advice is to diversify into projects with good long-term potential and hold their coins. Look for projects that solve real problems and have steady development. Check DataDash's video on crypto portfolios: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VD4XgHGrczc
A great feature of both Bitcoin and Ethereum is their Proof-of-Work mechanism, that makes attacks prohibitively expensive and enforces a minimum price (cost of mining+equipment amortization). From a fundamental standpoint, Bitcoin offers more stability, security and transparency - innovations are implemented step by step, after peer review and community debates. That makes Bitcoin development to look slow compared to Ethereum, that has much broader functionality and complexity, yet surprises us monthly with unpleasant bugs or hacks. I hold Bitcoin, because of its limited supply, decreasing emission rate and market adoption. Factor in here the number of Bitcoin maximalists, that say "there is Bitcoin and altcoins" or "there is Bitcoin and all the other stuff". I also accumulate Ethereum, for trading purposes - trading ETH pairs was more profitable for me YTD and Ethereum protocol is expected to power many decentralized/distributed Applications (dApps) that are yet to come.
Bitcoin is at All-Time-High, double topping at 7700-7900 USD. A move to 9000-10000 USD is possible this year, yielding 15-25%, but it is certainly unclear if it holds. Bulls view upcoming CME Bitcoin Futures as a demand factor for Bitcoin, I expect only a short run, followed by a sharp correction. Derivatives drive markets to overvaluation - cryptomarkets are already overvalued, just like Dotcom was and introducing BTC futures to professional traders would only make more visible the discrepancy between the price of crypto and immediate benefits.
Ethereum is about 25% below its ATH and might revisit 400 USD area, going even higher, especially if at least 5-10% ICOs running on Ethereum platform succeed to deliver. Another demand factor is the transition to hybrid PoW-PoS consensus, as PoS benefits early/large holders and diminishes circulating supply. Unless Vitalik and his team of unicorn ladies surprises us with another major bug, as blockchain reversal, I see good market potential for Ethereum - it offers faster, more flexible transactions than Bitcoin, working smart contracts and better decentralization, mining being affordable even to individual users.
Pay attention to other projects from coinmarketcap.com Top-10 - Litecoin (technologically similar to Bitcoin, eagerly taking on innovations), Dash (fast, cheap transactions with great prospects of market adoption), Ripple (even better prospects than Dash), Monero (privacy oriented coin), Bitcoin Cash (if bought cheaply, a nice hedging instrument, yet questionable ethics).
How I'd build a portfolio from scratch? Find a licensed exchange working with fiat, deposit USD or Euros and buy the dip on each coin, until you have 50% BTC, 25% ETH, 5% LTC, 5% DASH, 5% Ripple, 5% XMR and 5% BCH.

Both coins are good for investment. Ethereum price is stable and bitcoin price is going up.For long term investment ethereum is good. Ethereum is easy to use with less transaction fees.

Does it seems to me or topic with this exact name emerges at this forum section every day?

For longterm i interested in ethereum coin. because ethereum so stable its prices than others altcoins. Many support for ethereum,im sure its price will be increased.

I invested in both because these 2 coin has strong in fundamental by portfolio 60% for Bitcoin and other 40% for Ethereum. In long term Ethereum has good and big potential because this platform make cryptocurrency community bigger day by day, because their blockchain used by many start ups and fintech to development many new idea and concept.

I will choose both. Bitcoin as store of value, ethereum as currency and potential services (decentralized exchanges etc.) Both are going to stay with us even after years. Both are great coins.

I am gonna go with Ethereum even though it has a lower value than bitcoin. Because it is easier to invest in Ethereum because its price is lower.

For Long term investment bitcoin definitely is my choice. The thing with etherium is that its value is based only because of smart contract feature and hence so many ICO's accept ETH in return of their tokens. Soon EOS or Tezos may offer a better option.

I chose bitcoin and you must already know the reason is.
the future of ethereum? I think the future price of eth will go up if there is fork of course
