Many people out there don´t believe that Ethereum can be a long term hodling, they simply use it participate in ICOs, sell and buy bitcoin again with the profit. Do you think that may change this year and ethereum can be seen as the choice to hodl?
It actually depends on us on how we are going to use both assets. Ethereum platform is different from Bitcoin platform most especially it's purpose of existence and usage. They are the most popular platforms in this cryptocurrency industry and that is undisputed I mean uncomparable. They are like guns versus knives wherein we all know that they are both weapons but has different characteristics same as Ethereum versus Bitcoin.

If I were to compare the two coins. Im gonna choose ETH. It has become popular these days to choose ETH over bitcoin.In truth these two coins are completely different from one another Is endless if the second speaks of these coins. Because of its position in the market also ranked one and two. Then no wonder there is tough competition that occurs between the two.
Most of people here in crypto are comparing or compete altcoins to bitcoin and the other wants to see the coin that would replace to the king. We all know that ethereum has a great potential with the excellent performance in the market, we don't need choose one between ethereum and bitcoin because the wise decision is choose both.

yes, I really agree with you better choose both for investment, Bitcoin and Ethereum are two very promising coins and have now dominated the Crypto market so their future is very bright.
Sure, both of them is very good if we want to hodling. But i prefer to hodl btc than ethereum, because in my mind btc is stil the king and ethereum is just son of the king. If you want to invest maybe you can split Btc 65% and eth 35%
Ethereum is my preferred cryptocurrency, it is a task of top notch price that has widespread capacity for growth for the future. I suppose that within the subsequent months/years using ETH will grow and could even exceed Bitcoin; in my view it need to not be missing in any portfolio of someone who wants to invest in cryptocurrencies
If you want maximum results in the long run you can hold bitcoin because bitcoin is still king in unia cryptocurrency. But ethereum is not as good as bitcoin. Therefore I still hold the coin in bitcoin.

In my opinion those two cryptocurrencies are just different one from another, and they don't have a need to compare it between each other. So it also means that one will not be overcome with another.

Bitcoin was the first true cryptocurrency and has been in circulation since 2009. Ethereum is a far more recent development, going live in 2015.
In the time between Bitcoin and Ethereum’s release, lots of other cryptocurrencies emerged. Mostly, however, they were limited to trying to improve on aspects of Bitcoin’s performance – for example, increasing speed of transactions or improving the security or anonymity of transactions.
Ethereum is certainly faster than Bitcoin – with transactions typically settling in seconds, rather than minutes. But it also takes things further. While still blockchain based, and operating as a store of value, its fans and evangelists see it as a platform for distributed computing, which comes with its own built-in currency, called Ether.
While the Bitcoin blockchain can simply be pictured as a database of accounts (or wallets) with an amount of currency stored in each, the Ethereum network blockchain is a more sophisticated construction, capable of storing computer code – applications – that can use the CPU power going into the network to execute.
The currency – Ether – represents this CPU power – so the idea is that Ether will be bought and sold by businesses, governments or individuals to allow them to tap into the vast, distributed resources of the Ethereum network to run their own apps.
The first of these applications are known as “smart contracts”. This is a way of automating contracts and agreements so they will execute when consensus says that conditions have been filled. Though simple, their uses are potentially widespread – such as enabling payment systems which will release funds on completion of work, or authorizing the transfer of ownership of good when payment has been made.
The Ethereum network also allows the creation of other cryptocurrencies, or tokens, using the same protocol as Ether but distributed on different blockchains, which can be public or private. This means they can be created by organizations to represent shares, voting rights or as means of proving identity or authorization credentials.

no it won't change because ETH is not designed that way.
it is a token that should only be used to fuel the smart contracts not even as an investment let alone be anything like bitcoin which is a currency.
and in the end no matter what, ETH still has an unlimited supply with a huge amount of it already in circulation which is always dumping it downwards in the long run.
buying these two coins when the price is so affordable will be very nice and easy to improve the development for much more increase again. so it is very profitable to buy these two coins. both have interesting developments. so it's good to have both and support even further.it is a token that should only be used to fuel the smart contracts not even as an investment let alone be anything like bitcoin which is a currency.
and in the end no matter what, ETH still has an unlimited supply with a huge amount of it already in circulation which is always dumping it downwards in the long run.
I think you do not need to contrast bitcoin to Ethereum, because these two coins have different purposes and perform different functions. It does not matter what coin has a big capitalization, the main thing is that the cryptocurrency market continues to develop.
I think that although many out there do not believe that Ethereum that we think good for us make investments do not listen to them, optimistic believe we with what we have chosen that any choice we will be able to make a big profit for us, because I think besides bitcoin ethereum is also good for we to make long-term investment.
I think it all depends on bitcoin prices going in which direction, so far we have seen for ourselves how bitcoin greatly affect the price of all markets. so if bitcoin this year shows bullish then ethereum price will follow too, the most important we just monitor bitcoin movement and do not lose moment to get profit.
Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have made their mark in the market. In the future both will maintain their ownership over other crypto currency. In the future, the benefits of investing in ethereum and bitcoin will be encouraged.
Everybody realize that BTC is top among all the crypto.But Ethereum is likewise the great and most well known coin the market.Many individuals contribute on both however because of the high cost of BTC,Many want to purchase ETH and furthermore it has a more opportunity to build it's an incentive later on. 
10 months ago there was only ever a mention of bitcoin. Currently, mainstream journalist are all writing "what´s the next bitcoin" pieces that usually include 5 alts - Eth always one of them. It´s easy to see how this will shift when more and more Dapps launch and people learn that most of them run on Ethereum. I predict we will see a shift in the focus of news reports on Ethereum just as we saw with Bitcoin in 2017. Why does that matter? I will drive the price up like we saw happen with BTC in 2017 and it will make Ethereum the hottest thing to talk about.
I think cryptocurrency initially exists for transactions, where people complain about transactions that have expensive costs and must be with other parties, now cryptocurrency is used as an asset and the user even grab who is eligible to hold. whether or not it is used as an asset depends on the respective thinking, in my opinion bitcoin is more deserve to be hold.
personally i think if ethereuem if with pos it will be more scarce and worth hodling more than bitcoin smart contract functionality and a huge developers intrest will pay off in the future
