BTC vs ETH

[pakcoy]

Hi,

My current coin distribution looks something like:
BTC 40%
ETH 40%
Other 20% (tokens and altcoins)

Right now BTC is going up, while ETH is still around 300$.

I am here for the long term, and I know two things:
1. Bitcoin has a limited supply of 21 millions btc
2. Ethereum doesn't have a supply cap, which may lead to inflation (I suppose)

On the long run, should I maintain the BTC-ETH balance at 50-50, like I do now, or should I go for more BTC than ETH?

Thank you!

I don't think it's wise to ask such questions because half or replies will be pure speculation and the other will not be honest (people will promote the coin in which their own funds are) so I just warn you to take all opinions with giant grain of salt. You should be able to make your own decision.

I'll be one of the second group (as I'm involved only in BTC mining) and will say: THE BITCOIN RULEZ (always was and always will).
I have some ETH as well and consider it as great coin with lot of great features the BTC is no. 1 for me.

BTC is indeed as the upstairs as a kind of gold inside the digital currency of the same attributes, and ETH is more and more practical applications in the real world landing, such as for ICO, and then extended a lot of landing projects, If you have to compare, I think ETH has a higher value, but the actual use value is higher! BTC is just a belief in existence.

For me, I think Ethereum is better to invest than bitcoin cash because this is more popular and most invested by so many investors. Ethereu also is the most promising coin to invest based on the experts study.

While both Bitcoin and Ethereum are powered by the principle of distributed ledgers and cryptography, the two differ in many technical ways. For example, the programming language used by Ethereum is Turning complete whereas Bitcoin is in a stack based language. Other differences include block time (Ethereum transaction is confirmed in seconds compared to minutes for Bitcoin) and their basic builds (Ethereum uses ethash while Bitcoin uses secure hash algorithm, SHA-256).

Bitcoin is open-source; its design is public, nobody owns or controls Bitcoin and everyone can take part. Through many of its unique properties, Bitcoin allows exciting uses that could not be covered by any previous payment system.Ethereum is an open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform and operating system featuring smart contract functionality.
