Topic: Hold ETH or exchange it for BTC and hold BTC? (Read 1714 times)
Staying on ETH and waiting for value explosion will provide much greater potential for profit than leave it now. ETH holders are numerous, so we don't need to worry about current value that looks quite weak.
So, the title is pretty much self explanatory. If you have an x-amount of ETH, would it be more wise to trade that for BTC and hold BTC or will ETH rise faster then BTC?
Example:
If you have 1000 USD worth of ETH - that's 3,5 ETH or so. 300 usd per ETH.
If you trade this for BTC, you have 1000 USD worth of BTC, so 0.15 BTC or something around 6000 usd per BTC.
Which one is more likely to make your 1000 USD go 2000 USD? Will ETH see 600 USD any time soon - or let me ask it differently -> is it more likely that BTC goes 12000 USD then 600 USD per ETH? What do you guys think and what would you do?

Right now it is a tough decision, i feel that in the next months bitcoin is more likely to grow but that eth is more likely to grow a larger amount, really I would just hold both, I expect sometime in 2018 bitcoin will pass 10k and eth will pass 500 usd.
Bitcoin have been progressing well compared to the altcoins. In reality this doesn't mean its the time to exchange to bitcoin and benefit. Altcoins too have the potential to grow higher in value and the same happens unexpectedly, though it cannot grow as high as bitcoin. Upon the fact it's good to read the market situation and split the assets rather than moving towards bitcoin as a whole.
Bitcoin has really been progressing compared to any of the altcoins out there and even the top ones are really just trying to still stay a bit afloat due to the little support they have so far. There is so much time for those alts to grow and now that they are in their bad shape is really a good time to make some good profit off of them when they get pumped back which is normal.Honestly I am not holding any big number of ETH. I just have some of them which were bought for the purposes of gas for sending out tokens. But I love continuing my bitcoin hoardings.

I think that right now it is a good idea to hold your ETH it seems the forks are over and the party is over for bitcoin that does not mean bitcoin is going to stop growing but I do not think we are going to see all time highs every month as has been the case in the last months but ETH has been moving sideways and down for some time so it seems it is about to go up in the next months so if I were you I will hold my ETH.

Always believe in bitcoin and the price of bitcoin is raising so fast and if the price continue to growing in this way then i think bitcoin obviously can hit 10k$ or more in the next 5-6 months. So better to hold bitcoin
It seems to those who have held ETH, to be patient may make feel better. However, if we still have idle fiat. Better to buy btc and hold, I think btc continue to strengthen until end this year.
Patience is good, but for those who quickly bought back into bitcoin, are really the lucky ones cause there is so much profit right now to buy back into the altcoins at their dips cause they would definitely experience some pretty good boost after the fork, there is no doubt about that.Forks though are becoming to look pretty useless as they now sound more like scam than even the most shitcoin out there. So, we might see people not paying much attention to any fork as time goes on since I heard there would be another one in December.
After cancellation of Sigwat most of Altcoins pumping very good and if someone can afford they surely he keep Ether or buy bitcoin both are doing very good and can give some solid profit to investors because currently decision is not easy which coin good for holding I like to hold both as doing good in market
From the above question, it means that TS already has ETH. So why should be sold, while ETH also promises good profits later on. It's better to keep it than sell now.
The fact is that Ether is needed to pay for miners, basically it's enough for a certain number of coins. Therefore, I would not keep the broadcast and Exchange everything on Bitcoin. Leave only a small amount.

I recommend that you exchange your Alts to Bitcoins. As per the speculation, bitcoins is at its hike and in my opinion it will be a long one. Just like what happened even with the forks. But since alts have sunked a lot I say wait a bit I think it will not be wise, you will lose quite some earnings or capital that you have. And also not that wise to buy bitcoins with prices this high dude.
Just be observant. Since there will be segwit, just try to recover the alts price first.
This is obviously what anyone would really want to do at this moment. The ALTs including Ethereum has really been is some pretty bad shape for a while now and it is just best to stick with BTC for now until maybe the whole fork situation dies down. Although, for those who may have some spare funds, it is also a good time to buy ALTs anyway, since it is possible most of them would still have some chances of being pumped at the long run and hence, some good profit.Just be observant.

Altcoins has not recovered from the 25th of October on this occasion, he has been constantly lost, Bitcoin's flying experiments are damaging Altcoins. It was not as powerful as the etherum, but it stretched to 275 dolars.
Well, we can just say the cloud is still not clear since there is still an upcoming fork and no one would really want to take that huge chance of sticking their fingers in altcoins when a lot of people learnt their lessons from all the previous forks. The second fork is around the corner and most traders, except some with balls, do not want to tamper so much with the Alt market right now. 
I think most of them have spoken that you need to sell those ETH in exchange of bitcoin because the price of bitcoin is really going up. If you really love ETH then just go back after the fork. Traders are just getting into bitcoin because they are chance of making profit out of it before the fork. I have a ETH about 5 days ago and shift it to bitcoin and I'm glad that I made the decision earlier and did wait. You should do the same now.
in fact, every person makes a choice in his own way of conviction or or because others convince him. But I think that it will be more correct to leave the broadcast for itself just enough to pay for transactions, and everything else is better to store Bitcoin.
For me, i will hodl both, since both are good investments, i think bitcoin had already proven itself to be a worthy investment since it already surpassed the value of gold and a lot of people have trust on bitcoin, ethereum on the other still has a long way to go before it can to head to head with the value of bitcoin. With the world all focused on bitcoin, there is no doubt bitcoin will become a fortune in the future, however if a time comes that people can no longer afford the price of bitcoin, they might turn to a different currency, thus maintaining the peak value of bitcoin, i think ethereum will be one of those cryptocurrencies that people will turn to, aside from the altcoins that was produced during the forks, and still we cannot deny the fact that there are ethereum based coins, that can also sdd leverage to ethereum, still that is to be proven if they can go against thevalue of bitcoin.

If I were you, I'm going to take time to sell those ETH and get some bitcoin. You can eventually get back to ETH after the hard fork, that's the reason of why many are converting their alts now into bitcoin for the B2x fork. And if you aren't satisfied with it you can just buy some more with the use of your spare money. Just ride the current trend of bitcoin and it's good on it's price now.
i will hold both, BTC and eth,
because BTC and Eth has a potential to grow
because BTC and Eth has a potential to grow
You should have exchange it for btc months before these forks occurs. I'm so proud of myself when I exchanged it for BTC.06 btc before it goes down to BTC.04 and I knew it that I'm doing the right decision at that moment.
Go swap it for BTC. Because btc is on the rise where growth is fantastic. While in ETH, what happened is the opposite. That weakness keeps happening day by day.
better choose bitcoin, because their price is always skyrocketed compared to the ETH the price holds at 298-330 USD And now bitcoin cost 7000 USD even Bitcoincash beat the price ethereum
I think it's begter to hold your ethereum and dont sell it or exchange oto bitcoin if you have extra moeny you can use it to buy bitcoin. Because the price of ethereum is hundreds dollars and it's not hard to increase because it's only hundreds price. Unless to bitcoin you need to wait for sure to increase the price or become double because it's thousands price . It's better if you have ethereum and also bitcoin.
