My advice: get the hell out of Ethereum.

It was pre-mined to death. Sleazy assholes control the vast lions share.

It has zero reason to exist other than to buy other ICO tokens, which are themselves scams.

It's #1 claim is smart contracts. Which is a solution looking for a problem that doesn't exist.

It will NEVER be used as an actual currency, as there is zero incentive for the public to buy it, and zero incentive for merchants to adopt it.

It's codebase is a buggy, messy, rube goldberg machine. It's attack surface is huge.

Buy Bitcoin, every year, at whatever price it is at. Long term it will provide a store of value for you, and give you a well-known and trusted cryptotocurrency that will be accepted everywhere by merchants all over the world.

Interesting perspective.
I don't get the point of smart contracts so much. I can imagine paying a robot some mBTC to deliver groceries but a "smart contract" seems unnecessary for the entire human race to be involved in.

I'm also starting to come round to the "buy BTC at whatever price" indeed. As long as it keeps going up, the price you buy in at matters less.

Dont you just love the way that most of the people advising Eth are based mainly on the *assumption that "It has more room to grow" 

ie. its cheaper to buy more of, so *if it eventually manages to deliver on some of its big-dream promises (other than being a great tool for scamming idiots with ICO's), then it *might climb in price a *bit.. 

but with an adjustable-emission-rate, and endless supply of Eth's (that can be easily changed too), and all sorts of other characteristics very different to BTC (many of Eths are undesire-able, but thats just my opinion) then I just cant see Eth *ever getting anywhere *near Btc.. so the whole "it has more room to grow" claim is bogus..

It has some interesting ideas, but the way they are going, If it survives, I suspect it will give "Duke Nukem Forever" a run for its money for longest-running-vaporware.

Is it more wise to invest in Bitcoin or in Ethereum for the next 5 years? What do you think an why?
I think, ethereum will be a wiser choice over bitcoin in terms of long term investment. Considering the price, ethereum is cheaper than bitcoin as of now. Putting that into perspective, you can buy more ethereum than bitcoin with the same amount of money. Second thing, bitcoin is very valuable now, and so as ethereum. Ethereum has dropped for a while this month, but I expect it to rise up in the coming years. In the span of 5 years, you can profit more in ethereum than bitcoin.

Yes it is wise to invest in Bitcoin because of its profitability. it shows signs of power and weakness so we may allocate more or less of our assets into Bitcoin

For several reasons associated with bitcoin, it seems to be highly potential, because the growth keeps on continuing. With ethereum similar growth is not happening, just the stabilized growth taking place. Both has got the potential to pump high, but ethereum is very much uncertain than bitcoin and gold.

Bitcoin will always be winner in the end but the fact is that even Ethereum has performed very well since its inception and it is the topmost altcoin at a moment and now majority of ICOs are Ethereum based which pays in tokens so even the future of Etheruem looks promising and it can gain much higher value in future and if you invest in it then you can make really quick profits which may not be possible with bitcoins as to make huge profits from bitcoins you need to hold it really very long.

Bitcoin is the best crypto currency . Looking at the market at this time bitcoin is not stopping for years now . For next 5 years bitcoin is surely going to break new records . In these conditions bitcoin still tends to be the best option for investing . Even though the growth rate of etherneum cannot be ignored there is still a a lot of time needed for etherneum to reach upto the level of bitcoin . Somehow etherneum value is still dependent on bitcoin . The value is still copared to bitcoin due to a simple reason that bitcoin is the best and the most valuable cryptocurrency.

if we analyze how the price for bitcoin has risen and fallen over the last year, then we see that since September 2016 Bitcoin started from 550 dollars and has risen almost 12 times for the whole year. The point I think is a very good potential and for today the investment in Bitcoin makes sense unlike the etherium, which practically sticks in place.
yes ethereum could be a good investment only for those people who always dream has a stable crypto currency , a stable support and stable price in the market. i mean the price increased steady step by step , while bitcoin always skyrocketing.

i do agree that ethereum seems stand there moving nowhere , but yes people love eth with its stability, still not good enough as investment compared to bitcoin.

Well for me I think that ethereum will surpass the lead of bitcoin in the next five years because bitcoin now expensive to people like me that less fortunate to buy aleast 1btc. and ethereum more affordable than bitcoin, so I prefer ethereum for the next five years.

As you are saying for next 5 years means long term, i will prefer bitcoin over Ethereum because it is much reliable than ethereum and we should consider most reliable one if we are going to invest for long term.
Can I choose both? I think invest for long term in Ethereum and Bitcoin are give me a huge profits in future, especially this is a target for 5 years, not short term. Of course, you need to know the risk of this target, nothing guarantees these cryptocurrencies will have high price in next 5 years.

At this point, you're better off with investing on Eth. BTCBTC's already hit another ath, and it seems it won't go much higher any longer. Potentialwise, eth and some of its ICOs are the way to go.
I understand your opinion, but to be honest, today the price of Bitcoin continue to increases its value and passed $7,000 - new ATH price within 1 week. And the market does not seems stop at this price, the demand still strongly to make the price of Bitcoin continue create ATH price.

ETH price decreasing at this moment and Bitcoin continues rising... On long term Bitcoin has even more advantages. I don't know about you, but to hold I think only BTC is worthing a lot, AltCoins like ETH can be good, but for trading and after this it's time to convert the profit to BTC and hold.
And now Bitcoin is boosted by the imminent HarFork.
In my opinion, both are good for long term as 5 years.
Because the platform of Ethereum has helped the ecosystem of cryptocurrency became good as now.
Without smart contract, no large ICO projects can succeed.

Both are equally promising high returns. But for me, it's more excitement to invest in bitcoin. Because bitcoin is my goal to wrestle in cryptocurrency.

I think very wise, bitcoin and ethereum are the 2 biggest coins with a market cap that reaches more than 70% when combined. if we invest bitcoin and ethereum and we keep up to 5 years then I'm sure the money will grow thousands of percent.

They are both good for a long term investment run. Bitcoin for sure now is rising very high on daily basis, but ethereum is yet to rise on it's path, so it will be better you invest 70% on ETH and 30% on bitcoin.

It is wise to choose both because the risk on both coins is high but both have good future,so if one fails to make it other will equalize the profit so your investment will be safer.But i hope both of the crypto will give good amount of profit in five tears.But we have to understand about bitcoin and ethereum because bitcoin is a digital currency whereas the ethereum is a token but when we saw the history of both the price is always increasing.So in future also the price will continue to increase.

It really can give you bigger profit if the value of bitcoin and ethereum will be parallel rising of its price, but you must monitor it in several months if there's progress with your holdings. That five years is very far if we have to analyze since this year and for next years to come and go. To be able to reach it we should need to develop that self control, because its kind of a boring feeling seing that our asset isn't yet turning into profit but its worthy to hold it if you generate bigger profit for longer time.
