I think its time to jump ship and trade my bitcoin for eth. With the rate of growth of ethereum and the upcoming split with bitcoin, this can be an great opportunity. What do you guys think?
No, don't do that. If you look at ethereum fees you will notice that fees will grow as the value of ether grows.
High value = high fees, no matter what crypto - so if every crypto reach high price it will have the same problem as bitcoin has.
