Ethereum Vs. Bitcoin: Is ETH the better investment?

#btc cheap today. your children will thank you in 20 years when they realize daddy invested all their money at 2500, and now they own Manhattan island

 

That was amazing. Have the job offers started rolling in?

 

A very long discussion, with some excellent inputs:

Kraken's had major lag, connection issues today. If this keeps up I'll be looking elsewhere.

Market orders sitting there for 20+ seconds. Orders disappearing and not getting filled.

 

Massive risk to the downside for ETH, we could see at least a $100 drop from here.

 

Kraken goes down everytime there's a selloff. Not that I see other exchanges being better though.

Anyways, I would love to see a print sub 300 on ETH. I'll pick up some BTC if we print 2100-2200.

 

I think you have to compare Bitcoin with Visa. Visa do 56,000 transactions per second compared with 7 for Bitcoin. Visa has a market cap of $212b bitcoin $45bn. Bitcoin has advantages in that it is deflationary and transportable but it is getting ridiculous now.

 

It's only a matter of time until India legalizes it; all that rupee flow into the cryptocurrency is quite telling.

I guess it's also a matter of time until some big money (hedge funds?) gets a hold of the float and starts manipulating the price.

 

Here we go!
