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?
I think Bitcoin is still the best option for long-term investments. You can use OBV (On Balance Volume) for indicate btc day trading. This indicator uses to analyze the total money flow in an out of an instrument.
If you want to go for long term investment of money, then it is better to invest your money into bitcoin than any other coin as it really helps you in making of more money after sometime as the market value continuously goes up. However, if you are planning of short term investment of money, then ETH is more suitable choice as it is more favorable for day trading.
