The security is poor for one thing It be hacked a couples of times now already
This is the one reasons why some or most people do still choose bitcoin rather than ETH because of security we do know that eth been involved on hacking incidents which some investors do really see this as a flaw why do hesitate to invest but well this decision would really depend on a certain person if he would go all in on ETH or would decide on having both coins would be much better.

I doubt that Ethereum will ever overtake Bitcoin. Bitcoin doesn't derive its value from having 'good tech' but from authenticity as a secure, original and safe store of value.
For a longer period, it might be good idea to buy Ether and Bitcoin both. But it would be fair to say, keep an eye on both, and keep your trigger finger close to your keyboard!
BTW: It's ethereum, not 'etherium'

Gosh, it's September 2017 and people still don't know BTC and ETH serve a different purpose.
Let me ask you a question. Why doesn't everybody sell their computer and use their smartphone instead?

Etherium is a better coin since it also has the smart contract feature. There is nothing that you can do with bitcoin but you cant with etherium. So why not all people sell their bitcoin and buy etherium.
When ethereum comes to the zksnark implementation and other just like plasma and even raiden network and i will be believing they will sell their bitcoin to buy the ethereum in the future. September 22, 2017, 05:10:35 AM
When it comes to transactions as of now and these past weeks, ethereum is faster and cheaper. But that doesn't mean people would just dump their bitcoins and switch to eth. There are people who have investments in bitcoin for years now. And bitcoin is still growing faster than ethereum does. Though you can always invest in both.
for me yes i would do that also because changing eth from btc while i am holding it for a long time are not good decision i must get another then investment than changing it because agree with that also they are both good investment. September 22, 2017, 04:58:20 AM

ETH is a worthy contender of bitcoin but that doesn't mean that people will sell off their long term holdings and buy ETH at this price. I know many people have scored bitcoin at a very low price and they are already sitting on a huge huge profit. I myself bought first bitcoin at $450 USD and I am already making a huge profit.
However, ETH is a good coin and a lot of people have started staking that coin as well. Seeing the popularity of ETH, coinbase and Blockchain.info has integrated their platform with ETH. So I am holding both bitcoin and ETH now as an investment. But bitcoin, being a pioneer of the crypto currency, is not going to die anytime soon. Instead the recent price drop will give an immense opportunity to the investors like us, to purchase bitcoin at lower price. Selling off bitcoin is not a resolution. Instead invest in both to be rewarded suitably.
