At present, I prefer to invest in Ethereum rather than Bitcoin. Why? Because Ethereum is much cheaper compared to Bitcoin. Take a look,
http://coincap.io/ If your choice of which coin is best to invest is based solely on which of them that comes cheaper, then I can say, is watch out!
If the projection of Bitcoin is anything to go by, then we are still at the threshold price, perhaps in a few years from now, some people would start to realize how cheap it would have been if they had bought now.
I might choose bitcoin rather than ethereum for long-term investments. but maybe eth will follow the btc rise as well.
Ethhereum values clearly follow the bitcoin, because the parent bitcoin of all altcoins. So the tides depend on bitcoin, I think it's better to invest bitcoin in the long run, because bitcoin is very beneficial for its users.
That is right, Ether as well as other altcoins are merely ridding on the wings of Bitcoin. On their own, they are yet to whether any of the storms Bitcoin have had to stand up to in its 9 years of existence, so it is presumptuous to place any of them on same pedestal as Bitcoin, instead each should be viewed on their peculiar strength. To that effect, Ether now also have some tokens built around it, so it has also become a lifeline for other coins, as such would continue to attract healthy demand.
