Its not a battle with one winner. BTC and ETH can coexist very well.

Definitely! both of them are profitable investments and worth holding without a doubt.

there are a lot of differences between the two which makes bitcoin a worthy investment and ETH as a dangerous one.

- ETH is an altcoin, there is no need to explain this it is obvious
- eth is super manipulated, and has a huge pre mine which makes the distribution unfair and manipulation easy
- eth is not really used for anything in the real world except some random contracts that end up like DAO and will end up in another hard fork.

- bitcoin is the real deal that everybody else is copying
- the manipulation is so small and it is getting smaller as time passes and the distribution is a lot better so it makes any manipulation that much harder
- bitcoin IS being used for real world application and REAL BUSINESSES are accepting bitcoin as a real money.

An altcoin can succeed if it has real usage. The Ethereum can be used to make the smart contract now.
