ETH vs BTC: Which coin will perform better in 2021?

[dragononcrypto]

Another 2021 question for you, the classic one. Which coin will do better in 2021, the largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin or the largest altcoin Ethereum?

• Currently Bitcoin sits at $19K, around 5% down from all time high. Ethereum is 60% down from all time high at around $600.
• Furthermore ETH is still down 80% from it's all time high against Bitcoin in not January 2017, but June 2017.
• Bitcoin is being adopted by paypal and now visa have changed their tune, while Ethereum is launching 2.0 sidechain.

Personally for 2021, I'm thinking Ethereum and will continue to accumulate for this reason. For 2020 I thought Bitcoin would do better until 2021 came around, but in fact ETH outperformed BTC by 75% at present, so looks like I was wrong about that.

In 2011 BTC price was 31$ and in 2013 it makes a new ATH and hit the price 1153$ which was  37X from its previous one. But in 2017 it hit 20078$ which was 17X from its previous ATH. So If this time BTC make another ATH like before and if its even 8X then I think its bull run just started. So if BTC bull run continued then ALTs will bleed. So I think the safer side is BTC or stable coin.

i prefer bitcoin.
because for me bitcoin is more stable than other coin. although sometimes bitcoin has a very deep price decline but one day it will definitely go up again in price. 2018 bitcoin has experienced a decline in price to $ 3500 and in November 2020 bitcoin rose to $ 20,000
and until now I still hold my bitcoin waiting until bitcoin is over $ 21,000 - $ 25,000

Both will do just as well.

PayPal adopt bitcoin which I think will boom in 2021 after adjustment. Not including the possibility to reach another ATH.

Eth 2.0 the innovative move of Bitalik will fully feel in 2021 for we are near to say goodbye 2020 and welcome 2021. What is it all about? Aimed at enabling the network to process more transactions and increase the security.

I think that Ethereum will reach new heights in 2021, because yesterday the first degree of Ethereum 2.0 was opened and now with Ethereum 2.0 Ethereum will begin to develop very quickly and of course the price of Ethereum in 2021 will reach new heights, but with Bitcoin everything is also clear because Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency and I am confident that in 2021 Bitcoin will also reach new heights.

 Bitcoin is one of the most stable cryptocurrencies, despite its volatility. Bitcoin’s influence, demand and mass adoption are expected to go up in the years to come, perhaps more so than any of its rivals as ETH.

I think ethereum will probably have a better performance in 2021. Especially after the release of ethereum 2.0. This will definitely be the trigger for Ethereum to be very good in 2021.

Ethereum and bitcoin two very much popular and favourite cryptocurrencies in the cryptocurrency market. Both coins have enough investors, traders and holders. Bitcoin and Ethereum two both coins are very much suitable for Long term investment.

I think BTC will perform then ETH in 2021; I know ETH 2.0 is launched, and other more new about ETH, but the other side is negative about gas fees; the crypto was made for fewer fees, but ETH is charging high gas fees and users worry about gas fees everyone holds $30 to $50 on ETH wallet just for gas fees. Sometimes users pay $30 gas fees just for a claim or send tokens. So BTC demand is increasing as you know, most of the companies buying BTC, and one bank of Chain has issued $3 Billion worth of bonds against BTC, so in 2021 BTC will more perform then ETH, and BTC transaction cost is not increased that is almost the same by exchanges and blockchain.

We can compare even the two. Well, BTC is the king of crypto. ETH is the king of the altcoins, moreover the ERC20 tokens. Here, the two will be just doing and progressing very well like now. We can see from the chart that the ETH graphic shows a well increase likely BTC. SO, it is better to hold your BTC and EH then. BTW.  the fourth option is funny. I can't imagine if they are failed, others will be worse 

[sampoerna]

I believe that BTC and also EThereum are good for investment and also trading or scalping. So, I don't need to worry about the two. I only worry how the whales will maybe play us around by pumping and dumping the coins so easily that makes us panic to buy or sell immediately

[KKH84]

To be honest, I have more hopes for Bitcoin for 2021, I think the end of 2020 is the opening path for Bitcoin to the top.  Whereas Ethereum with ETH 2.0 I think in 2021 it will be very busy with the developments that will be carried out, so the price will be stable until the end of 2021.

[Quantum X]

This might be hard right now to provide the answer since ETH 2.0 is very interesting. I think we can have the answer after seeing the condition given by this new eth.

Choosing the two can be like choosing which between two good and beautiful girlfriends should be the ONE. I am a big fan of both Bitcoin and Ethereum so I would say that both can be doing well and that is many of us here have both BTC and Eth. Ethereum is to do its much-waited and longed-for Ethereum 2.0 metamorphosis and although it will never answer all concerns it can be a big leap forward to the number 2 coin. Bitcoin is projected to have its biggest bull run yet in 2021 due to many institutions officially coming into it.

So which will it really be? Only time can tell and unfortunately Mr. Time has no number that I can call to.

Of course, both coins are still good for next year's profit.  However, it should be borne in mind that bitcoin has certain problems with development, in particular with scaling.  Already today it has a decent price and its large further price growth is still only in theory. 
At the same time, ethereum will develop throughout the next year, having a relatively low price, it has room to grow.  Therefore, I think that next year ethereum will outstrip the price growth of bitcoin in percentage terms.
