I am actually surprised to know that some people actually compared bitcoin to Ethereum. Those who made this comparisons must definitely be newbies who know nothing about Bitcoin's network and that of Ethereum too. These two though both cryptocurrencies are different in so many ways. Apart from the fact that Bitcoin enjoys the "first mover" advantage, bitcoin is considered more a currency and a store of value than Ethereum. Ethereum has it's own advantages too but these two belong to their different worlds which makes comparing them unnecessary. Those who made the mistake of thinking Ethereum is or would be better than Bitcoin must have learnt their lessons now.

Comparisons are necessary in life because we have to compare things and choose a better one. It's necessary but if you do a bad comparison, comes to a bad and inaccurate conclusion, you will make wrong decision.

Comparing Bitcoin and Gold, Bitcoin and altcoins are good if in the end, people see that Bitcoin is a better, safer and more profitable investment asset. Unfortunately most people who made comparison comes to a conclusion that altcoins are more promising, potential and can give them higher ROIs than Bitcoin. They are wrong and lose money with this thinking.

How many cryptocurrencies failed.

Altcoin blockchains are more vulnerable to network attacks and those blokchains are less secure than Bitcoin blockchain.

I don't think there are still people who believe Ethereum will increase one day above Bitcoin in market cap, with my point of view and how things are going I don't think there will be a person who will reason that Ethereum will be better than Bitcoin, At this moment Bitcoin is the best and it will remain the best, Bitcoin is ahead of Ethereum for many years now and I don't think Ethereum will be seeing very important as Bitcoin, I mean no disrespect to Ethereum because Ethereum is one of the best coins that we have ever see when it comes to cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin will remain the boss when it comes to cryptocurrency, if we have looked at Ethereum and Bitcoin for many years we have seen improvement from both but Bitcoin price is always getting higher every time, at this moment Bitcoin has taken the lead and that is why you will always see people will talk about Bitcoin before talking about any coin, Ethereum will also do better but it will never be ahead of Bitcoin now or in the future.

Haha, Ethereum is so laggard for this bull run but it hasn't ended yet. I remember last 2021 bull run, XRP didn't move a lot and that's why people have called it a stable coin. Maybe for this year and cycle, Ethereum won't move anymore but I don't think that it will stay as is. The financial institutions are buying Ethereum because they probably see that there's no big movement yet in there and that's the ride that they are trying to make.

I agree, they are only making money from their audience and views and not actually from the holdings that they have. If they have some meaningful insights, they keep it to themselves.

Both of coins is best coin. It covered the all markets. Nowadays Ethereum is trying to reach the bitcoin prices place. But anyone coins is never willing be reach the bitcoin place. So bitcoin is king of all coins. Bitcoin is best one the all coins. No one can reach the bitcoin place. It never will be get down. That's the reason people will be trusting the bitcoin.

Bitcoin, gold or altcoin...each asset has its own advantages and disadvantages, none of them are perfect in every way. Therefore , depending on each person's needs and purposes, they will come to different conclusions. If their priority is profit and they are willing to take risks then it is not wrong for them to choose and conclude that altcoins have more potential than bitcoin .

What makes most people lose and fail when investing in altcoins is because they lack knowledge , experience, and choose the wrong project...because the altcoin market is very fierce and it is not easy to find the right project .
Not everyone loses or has no profit when investing in altcoins , there are also many people who have made profits from altcoins . The altcoin market is full of risks but they have a lot of potential, we should not deny this .

Yes, comparison is necessary, that way we will find out what we want and what suits us but comparing 2 assets that have too big differences or gaps is unnecessary. Bitcoin and ETH are too different, ETH is not in the same league as bitcoin and comparing only makes bitcoin less attractive, not makes bitcoin more outstanding. Like gold and silver, although both are metals and investments, there is not much comparison between them because the gap between them is so large.  Silver has never been and will never be able to stand in the same position as gold. Likewise, ETH is not of sufficient quality to be compared to bitcoin.

Nah. Only one is the best coin, and it is Bitcoin.

People trusted Bitcoin because it's the only true decentralized crypto, it consensus, and it's ability to connect people from different background despite their ethnic/religion believe.

I agree that Bitcoin is the founder of all cryptocurrencies because it laid the groundwork for them all. Regardless of how promising an altcoin is, it will never be as good as Bitcoin. Furthermore, they are merely an alternative if we judge them by their name, altcoin.

Ethereum was not the next of kin of Bitcoin; the Bitcoin next of kin was actually Litecoin, but it lost the community's trust when Charlie Lee made a public announcement about selling all his LTC bags, which the community saw as his exit plan scam.

Altcoin market is very different as literally thousands of them are in existence and so it's hard to ride even if you invest in the first 10-20 of it. They've offered different, they have their own technology and so there are individuals taking advantage of like saying that they are experts and giving advises to anyone in their social media or becoming influencers.

Even ETH, and then they've change their protocols and allowing only a few to control, unlike Bitcoin who is still very much decentralized and even if there are countries or whales on institutions, it's hard to control and will not be control but anyone.
