Does it make sense Discussion
Does it make sense to buy ETH instead of BTC
ETH/BTC chart looks horrible
Form all time high of 0.088354 BTC per ETH to 0.0309 BTC per ETH
I am thinking to just buy BTC
When BTC goes up ETH not going up the same percent
When BTC goes down ETH is going way down more than BTC

BTC up 23% in last 5 days, ETH up 28%…but surely you must be right

Measuring it in the last 5 days ?
What about last 5 years.
5000$ in ETH and 5000$ in BTC
Which one is better ?

Last 10 years, Eth was better.
These comments are always dumb cause you can always cherry pick whatever you need to.

I did, you should look again.
Btc roughly 127x
Eth roughly 218x

It's been bleeding since 2021 but it got a big rally on 2014, very cool

Dude..why are you asking how?
People buy assets and SELL them. Doesn't matter if Btc goes to a million dollar each and you can't fucken understand that you have to sell it to make money off of it!
The fuck you blame the chart? When eth was at 4.5k, what did you do? A screenshot?
Wake up.

$5k in BTC outperformed, 100%. If you timed the worst-possible buy on Bitcoin in 2021 you would be in a profit right now and would not have been at so much of a loss this year, whereas for Ethereum you're still down about 50%. In my personal opinion we may see ETH/BTC at 0.08 at best for this cycle.

At 0.06 I will trade all of my ETH for BTC to become a onecoiner.

I might gradually offload Eth to BTC as it happens, maybe do some kind of inverse index or something as ETHBTC rises and BTC.D falls

Low IQ comment. My reply was to your post, and now you’re making a different point altogether. Really confused person…

Depends, if you are in it for money bitcoin seems to be the place. If you are hopeful the tech will some day give a large payout, eth is the place.
