Although you are entitled to your opinion if you think it is better to trade Ethereum, I would say it is a close contect and both are good options, but at the end of the day you need to know what you are doing before trading any currency because otherwise you are going to just lose everything no matter what coin you trade... it is just simple reality!
I think this forum is not all about bitcoin because i saw some section woth altcoin and also politic and off topic.
Actually i would suggest etherium for the choice.
Etherium also has big potential grow like bitcoin and its also in low price.
Recently etherium price start growing ferom $292 to $500 and its good though.
But as people said, you have to understand what trading is before continue, or otherwise you can loss your capital.
