Hi all,

1 month before segwit I sold my BTC for ethereums and was sure that it will grows as fast as btc. It was not smart decision I know.

But now I see that it is ±300$ all the time when bitcoin is close to 4300$... I regret that didn't sold my eth for btc once segwit happened...

But I hope that 4300$ is not maximum of bitcoin price in this year so I am planning to sell my ethereums. But I don't know when to do that. I feel bitcoin correction in near time so maybe it is better to wait a bit? But I am not sure about eth price in near time.

What to do?  Embarrassed

Thanks a lot community!
I think next 5 years is the best time to sell our eth and btc. I know that time the price is really high.
And what will happen in the next 5 years after that 5 years you just mentioned ? You think it would stay the same ? What I always do anyway is to put my bitcoin to work and pay my self at the end of every month a certain % of it and add the remaining to the initial ones to start working again. With this I am saving for the future and at thesame time paying bills.

Sell ETH and buy BTC,
BTC is a leading key for up and down.
ETH is not that much now.

For me if you see a good profit at  the current value of eth much better to sell it because for now fluctuation of value in block market is very active. Our goal in trading is to earn profit that is why when you see profit do not think twice to sell your hold coins.

Don't sell it,  because the price of ethereum is still at low price, but i think this coming next month it will go up. Wait for the price of bitcoin become higher, then thats the time that you have to sell it to earn big profit from it.

Yes, and in trading you must have a target price to sell. And this target price is of course, you have a profit. Just observe the market movement and some updates on the development of the project so that you might have idea when to hold and when to sell.

I am still waiting for bitcoin price stable, when bitcoin prices were stable at a high rate, and ETH will follow it, at least I could sell ETH when the prices back touching above 0.1BTC. at least it could be achieved in this year-end, let's wait and see Smiley

You are very much right. There is no point of selling ETH right now when the prices are very much low. But I think you can’t hold ETH for quite long, it will give you nothing but a small amount of profit only. You should sell it as early as possible but obviously when the prices are little higher than they are now.

If I have ETH in my wallet, I would sell it when its price going up. The price of ETH is more slowly increasing than BTC. Much better to sell if both BTC and ETH would reach a higher price to double the value of bitcoin. But, if you really needed money, you would sell it no doubt.  
I agree i will also sell my eth when they bot high enough to double my balance.

I would sell your BTC for ETH. That's the better long term play in my opinion.

No need to sell ETH just hold the coin for two into three year and forget about the coin you hold for instance i have invested 50$ worth ETH when the price 150$ suddenly the price was rose to 400 $ then sell my bitcoin and got profit it
Eth is already going through some hard time and people are dumping their coins damn fast. There is no guarantee that even eth will be existing after two or three years. No need to waste time on this shitty coin. Just make sure you are investing wisely into bitcoin and your wallet is never empty.

From what I can see, the exchange rates for Ethereum has come down from BTC0.145 to just around BTC0.0696 in a matter of few months. In general, the trend is downward. Even now, I have a feeling that Ethereum is overpriced. When you compare Bitcoin's user base and the number of places accepting it as a currency with that of ETH, you can notice the huge gap between the two currencies. But no such gap exists between the market cap of these two coins.

Do not make the same mistake with ETH. As the price of BTC drops, then you can sell your ETH and convert it to BTC. When the bitcoin price is stable, I am pretty sure that all the special altcoins using the ETH smart contract will soon be in color. green.

You are very much right and I will second you. ETH is never a good choice for long term trading. You can buy and sell it as the price goes up and down but your main focus on Bitcoins. You can invest the profit which you get by selling your ETH in Bitcoins. This will give you much more profit as compared to ETH.
I have to disagree with you , eth still promising and a good place to invest your cash in.
My prediction it will has a value half of bitcoin at least.
And as time goes by a lot of project involve ethereum chain will keep growing , and the value will of course follows.

I guess at the moment better not exchange your ETH since it is growing too and building its future like bitcoin now. It is now hiking to high value too, so sooner it will climb up like bitcoin too since there are lots of patronage of ETH now. The more you hold the ETH, the better it is for you to get profit. Also the value of ETH is very much undervalued hovering roind 0.07 BTC.
You have rightly said but I think holding of ETH for quite a longer time will not be a suitable idea. There is no doubt in it that at present, ETH price is very much high but you never know what will happen in the very next moment. You need to make a sensible decision right now so that you may not regret in the near future.

For me ETH is good coin for holding longterm because in fundamental is good than others. But for day trading i will sell ETH when any bad news and the price of BTC bullish run.

Ethereum had too many bugs in the past. And every now and then, they fork the coin. And moreover, many of the Ether devs looks like shady characters, including Vitalik Buterin. If you compare Ethereum with Bitcoin, I would say that the former is not as reliable as the latter. 
I would suggest selling ETH before its price goes too down that you may bear a huge loss for it. And buy BTCs as much as you can when their prices are low so that you can be on safer side. You may sell BTCs when their prices are too high. This is the only way you can survive in the digital market. ETH is not a favorable option for anyone.

I think now you hold your eth and never try to sell this.Eth price also be increased when bitcoin price increased .Now bitcoin and eth price up=down in market this week.You alredy buy eth so never think bitcoin .you may aslo see eth price also by increased.So now its time hold your bitcoin or eth.You only wait for this year eth will 500 after ended this year,So never worried this.IF you think you nee money emergency otherwise you hold this coin its best for u.
To me It is a little not clear on the information which spread, that the etherium already give still the same plug as Bitcoin. Although Bitcoin in November is about to be another bifurcation. It seems to me that today the crypto currency is a little stormy and it's unclear what to expect in the near future.

Why did you sell your ETH for BTC? ETH is about to pump in the next few weeks. I guess its from the ETH price 0.077BTC to 0.2BTC thats more than 2X. Then sell from the TOP. Now you have 2X more BTC.
I did not think so he did anything wrong. Eth is nothing as compared to bitcoins and selling them off for bitcoins is quite smart move. Even if the eth pumps in coming weeks, it will still be less in worth than bitcoins. It is never bad or regretful to invest into bitcoins especially with these altcoins.
Ethereum has a good feature and that is the smart contracts and because of that there is no escape for using ethereum as a fee and one of the primary coin to invest to different ICOs so i think ethereum is designed perfectly for our world while bitcoin only focus on payment system and i believe that these two can work together to come up with the best cryptocurrency for our world.

ETH is one great altcoin to have, it might not reach or overtake the value as Bitcoin soon enough, but it will show some great movements in the near future. The features are just more than many other casual altcoins, so obviously it is wise to keep it. Moreover I accept Bitcoin is the King, but its foolish to just stick to one and invest on it only, where you have many like Bitcoin.
Ethereum is one of the pioneer in cryto currency world, I believe that the potential of this altcoin is limitless, also due good movement of ethereum in the market there's a lots of investors were attracted to join in ethereum project.
The fact is that Bitcoin and the etherium perform different tasks and therefore I do not think that you need to bet on one or the other coin Separately. I am more pleased to deal with both Bitcoin and ether.

Well, it's a fact that can never be denied is that bitcoin and ethereum have a better rate of return compared to some cryptocurrencies that do have potential like bitcoin and ethereum. If we are required to choose then the main thing to consider is the result of the analysis and also all the things that happen, if indeed the results of the analysis have made a choice then I will be more inclined to make decisions based on the analysis made. Because it is definitely a bitcoin and jug ethereum has advantages and disadvantages of each. Stay where we want to take things
