Bitcoin has a high price only because Bitcoin was the very first of the cryptocurrencies; there are many cryptocurrencies that have a much smaller supply than Bitcoin and they may not cost anything at all just because they were invented much later than Bitcoin.

Ethereum has its own specialties that make it attractive than Bitcoin, while Bitcoin also has its fans for many reasons. Actually, from a functional perspective, I am more in favor of Ethereum because the smart contract feature really helps a lot in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Although the facts speak that investors for Bitcoin are bigger and more numerous because Bitcoin is a pioneer.
Between Bitcoin and Ethereum both are the best coins at the moment, so if you don't like one of them, you still have a good choice of coins to use as an investment vehicle.
