Bitcoin is too heavy, too old, and too big for big pumps. Last year ETH pumps about 42X. Last year Bitcoin only pumps 19X. Imagine if you have 1000usd last January 2017. If you invested it all to ETH you will get 42000usd. If you invested it all to BTC only , you will have 19000usd.
Now choose your coin destiny for 2018.
I am new to the bitcointalk and the blockchain in general, but I have been reading up and think it is the future. I have missed the boat on getting in at the basement, but wanted to invest some money LONG term in some crypto. From what I understand Bitcoin is having some trouble keeping up with transactions. Would Ether or Bitcoin be a better long term investment (10 years), or will something new come along and replace these coins?
