BTC or ETH and why? Both are available on coinbase.

If you think there will be an alt season, buy ETH. If not, buy BTC. I don't think an alt season is in store this year considering the halvening is happening, so buy BTC.

tl;dr BTC is safer & less volatile.

My mid term bet is ETH. Why?
Fundamental reasons: ETH 2.0 is coming out this year, DeFi is rising. And technically ETH has bounced off from a strong support level and had a golden cross.

listen all you need to know is the FACT that it's Bitcoin (BTC) and shitcoins. /biz/ literally exists to tell you otherwise and try to scam you out of your bitcoins. avoid this place.

Actually tron will make better returns in the bullmarket. Marketcap much smaller. Does everything eth does except faster and better. And you got justin sun the king of marketing backing it. Hes even buying out all the crypto companies. Before you know it he buys out consensus and eth 1.0, then he merges it to tron like a chad

So you think 100% BTC is the way to go then? I see a mix of some people saying this and saying alts are scams, but then some alt fans are saying BTC is a scam because they say it's tech is outdated. It is hard for a brainlet to figure out which side is right.

>> No.17351809

>>17351680

I get it man, it took me 2 years to really figure out why it's bitcoin and shitcoins. The journey is hard but once you breakthrough you'll start getting annoyed at all the scam coin shilling.

here are a few things to help.. in order for bitcoin to have value and differentiate itself from gold/fiat it needs to have the following properties

1) decentralized (large block sizes harm this)
2) immutable (if its not proof of work it means there is less to zero cost to change the ledger)
3) private (if it's a surveillance coin like LIBRA or XRP why not just use dollars?)

basically study bitcoin and figure out why that is valuable and really understand why before you even think about buying alt coins

>> No.17351842

>>17351680

there is nothing outdated about bitcoin, it needs to be as stable as possible and let the high transactions per second happen on the second layer lightning network. 10 minute block times with the highest amount of hashrate are necessary at the base layer, anybody saying this is "outdated" is scamming you

You have to make these decisions for yourself, crypto is an incredibly tribal space. DYOR, DYOR, DYOR.
Case in point, this is what's called a BTC maximalist, and they're really retarded.
>>17351809
>>17351842
There is no L-BTC adoption, and nobody is building second layers on BTC.

BTC at it's core is just a ledger. It doesn't even make sense to use it as currency because it's so volatile. The crypto space has expanded in scope dramatically. Chainlink is solving the problem of Trust. Think about the implications of decentralized trusted data feeds, and the products you can build with them. SWIFT wants them for SmartBonds, Google wants them for their derivatives platform, etc.

Hey dipshit, nothing on chain was reversed. The DAO chain still exists as ETC, and it was forked to create ETH. This was only able to occur because of consensus, the exact same thing could happen to BTC.
