Topic: What do you prefer Bitcoin or Ethereum ? - page 17. (Read 1869 times)

Because I see future in Bitcoin and have much experience. Both are best currency for me, if you tell me to pick one than I will pick Bitcoin because of my experience.
We know both are best and most of the people are like both currency from another currency. But it’s true that Bitcoin is popular than Ethereum because its come first and the Facility and the profit also.
There have another reason is that bitcoin is my first and favorable to me. Its has some more advantage than Ethereum, one is that most of the country know it and it’s easy to transaction, and most of the investor invest on it than Ethereum. I hope you agree with me. 

Until now I still really like bitcoin rather than eth the main factor that makes me very interested is that exchange rate movements often increase so bitcoin is very suitable to be utilized to invest either short or long term.

I always prefer bitcoin because it's the no1 crypto currency in the world.Bitcoin price, popularity, advantages influence me to works in bitcoin.Bitcoin investment is really profitable and reliable.Ethereum is also good but it's not so popular and I can't use it simply like bitcoin.So I always prefer bitcoin although both are too good.

Ethereum. On it are based many ICOs

Bitcoin has a lot of brand recognition, history and mythos behind it (who really is Satoshi?). Since the price started at essentially $0, you have a lot of stories of "Bitcoin millionaires" that pop up every time a major price point is hit.

Bitcoin is also comparatively easy to grasp. Even if you don't understand blockchain, the concept of online payment systems and transfers has been around for a while. Most of Bitcoin's adoption to date has been about encouraging retailers to accept it, making Bitcoin ATMs, etc, as well as the more fanatic members encouraging everyone to buy and hold (most people can get away with just buying some Bitcoin on coinbase and never even knowing what a Bitcoin address is.) Unfortunately its hugely deflationary price makes it mostly useless as a currency and instead just a speculative instrument.

Ethereum is a whole other beast, and people are still just focused on it as a currency/store of value. It is trivial to simulate the primary aspect of Bitcoin on Ethereum (i.e. a fixed-supply easily-transferable digital good) (see eBitcoin or the dozen copycats). However Ethereum's value is not tied to its usefulness as a currency, but rather as a gateway to interacting with the Ethereum ecosystem. Its utility therefore isn't really tied to its price or volatility, and it's been repeated many times that ETH is not meant to be a currency.

This concept is a bit harder to grasp, and is much less flashy than "digital gold". Mainstream adoption will only come once Ethereum has some killer apps that are easily adopted by the majority.

I prefer ethereum because at the moment I still have ethereum but when I have bitcoin I will like bitcoin, if I have both I am ethereum and of course ethereum is flexible and the benefits are not much different from bitcoin at the moment.

both of them are strong for now, but BTC for me its like a digital gold, u can invest money into it and sleep well, ETH is like a tecnology with smart contracts, that are necessary for modern digital era.

If you just base in investment system well, If I were to choose, I chose bitcoin because I see the potential of it  showing spectacular moves last early December that reaches into $20k. And now I invest it again beleiving that will reach its value higher than before.

For me I prefer bitcoin, because no other cryptocurrency will rise without bitcoin. All cyrptocurreny started with bitcoin, so it was regarded as the king of cryptocurreny. The ethereum and bitcoin are the most valuable through the cryptocurrency but ethereum does not overtake the price of bitcoin because many people trust and support bitcoin rather than ethereum and other currency.

Ethereum is better now as compared to bitcoin.Because we will get huge profit for the low investment. Current value of ETH is below 500$,If you have 1000$ for the investment.You can buy 2 ETH.If the price of ETH increased 100$,you will get that entire 100$ .For 2ETH,you will get 200$ as a profit.But in bitcoin,you will get part of profit based on the investment.

I prefer both of them. Bitcoin and Ethereum are currently the most valuable crypto currencies and having the highest potential , and the most active communities among crypto currencies.
Bitcoin is of course the first one, but also Ethereum is really promising and its price is expected to rise highly in the few next years.

I prefer both because I use bitcoin for online payments and ethereum to transfer erc20 tokens.
I don't understand why are people comparing bitcoin to ethereum, one is currency and other is platform for smart contracts.

Ethereum has a different use case. Ethereum platform is usually used by most ICOs to gather investors when they are starting their project. Meanwhile, bitcoin can be used as a remittance, which is mostly used here in our country. Even our government approved using cryptocurrency as a means of remittance.

I really do not understand what you are trying to infer by bitcoin making noise, because it is the legacy coin or because the whole market is driven by its movement, or because it is still the man of the match

There is just one thing we cannot rule out even with all the sentiments, bitcoin will always have an edge over every other altcoins whether we like it or not. Let's live that aside, Ethereum is a good project that has given birth to a lot of tokens, but I still prefer a deflationary coin any day anytime to an inflationary one.

Both of them are good, but if you come from ICO Investors, ETH can be the best option.
ERC20 Based token make Ethereum control the price, beside you can use Bitcoin too.
But, I prefer Bitcoin as my digital assets for long-term investment. Maybe, because Bitcoin hard to stop.

I like ETH more than BTC. Although ETC is expensive for ETH but popular and popular in the market, ETH is the most potential coin today. I believe they will be the market leader in the next few years.

In investing I prefer or choose both because in digital currencies right now that are competing with each value or having more valuable the both sides are good to invest with. because you can gain profit with both and make more coins more popular because of them.  

Both are good on their own ways, you better choose the one that will be good fit to your knowledge and strategy or the best is choose both so that you have more ways to earn here in crypto currency world. Both coins are the most influential and most trusted coins in the market as of today and I think on more years to come, so those two are best when it comes on long term holding because they have the potential coins in the virtual mode of payments in the near future. If you prefer day trading then the best fits are the new coins circulating in the market everyday.

Very well said. Most famous does not necessarily mean the best in relation to the quality or features offered. For example if you have billions for advertising, then you could promote literally scrap metal and would have the highest market cap, while someone with a very innovative and good product but without a sufficient marketing budget would simply go broke.

I personally still prefer bitcoin, but as an investor I would clearly look for interesting altcoins, because both are already high priced for my taste.

Bitcoin has big power by technology than etherium , so why not bitcoin give more noise than etherium .
Here we are seeing etherium from one side only not by another side .
The first thing that came across our understanding for the comparison between two of these coins is transaction fee with confirmation speed .
No doubt that currently etherium speed of confirmation is more faster that bitcoin but here we should see toward the factor that number of people using etherium are less then btc , so this is simple understanding for us .
So here is would like to say that both of them are perfect coin at their place .
