where do you guys see these coins in the long-term?

i hold more ETH than BTC, but I honestly believe that Bitcoin is going to be much more valuable in the long run because it's actively used today to buy stuff. there's literally no such thing as a "buy with ETH" button.

i have a feeling that most of ETH's value right now is just speculation due to the Ethereum Alliance, but we have no idea if that's going to actually add any value to the public blockchain.

anyways what are your thoughts on this?

My friend is a no coiner but is heavily into the world of stocks/finance.

He says that bitcoin will in the long run never be very valuable since the only thing it has going for it was the fact that it was first and that it is extremely insecure and vulnerable to hackers. He says that other coins, especially ethereum will overtake it and btc will fade into obscurity.

Is he right, wrong or somewhere in between?

Lets talk about the big boys. When will I be able to purchase groceries with them?
