My opinion: if a current newbie wants to invest in this market. Better to invest in ETH. ETH is very potent and it will grow with bitcoin. The thing to do is buy ETH and wait for it to rise
Ohhhh NO!!! Ethereum is great blockchain for smart contracts.
Do you really think Ethereum has potential to increase market capitaliz. ??
In my opinion, Litecoin is the currency which is undervalued and have potential to go up to $500+
Litecoin should also take the scene of micro-payments from "tired" Bitcoin.
Bitstamp offer buying coins via SEPA and credit cards, but you need to be verified.
