If you have 10000$. It's better to buy ethereum. 2018 is the year of ethereum

Buying bitcoin next year wont give you alot of profit. It might increase in value but not twice its base.
Best of luck
How sure are you that next year is the year for ethereum? No one can tell if what will happen on the prices of the crypto currency. It will really depend on the demand that the coin will have. Bitcoin's price will continue to rise on the next years and I don't think that Ethereum will be able to go over it's rate in the next years.
He's asking for a recommendation. And I think that recommending is base on ones knowledge so we might also call it an opinion. I do recommend ethereum because ethereum's system is better than bitcoin's. It just so happen that bitcoin is the first crypto to be acknowledge by the public giving it the edge over ethereum.
If he want for a long term i recommend bitcoin because bitcoin has a big potential and it's price in the market is continue rising day by day,or you can invest also in bitcoin because it can gives you a huge profit but before you entering crypto currency you need to learn bitcoin to get a strategy to become a successful bitcoiners.
