Hi,

My current coin distribution looks something like:
BTC 40%
ETH 40%
Other 20% (tokens and altcoins)

Right now BTC is going up, while ETH is still around 300$.

I am here for the long term, and I know two things:
1. Bitcoin has a limited supply of 21 millions btc
2. Ethereum doesn't have a supply cap, which may lead to inflation (I suppose)

On the long run, should I maintain the BTC-ETH balance at 50-50, like I do now, or should I go for more BTC than ETH?

Thank you!

BTC is the AOL of cryptocurrencies. It was the first but it is failing to evolve. Every attempt made results in a hard fork and a smaller pool of adherants to the protocol. Eventually it will fade into irrelevance as it continues to lose market share. I personally sell every Bitcoin I get to buy more Ethereum. I can understand your desire to diversify your portfolio but spreading risk by holding BTC means that you will suffer slightly less losses to the downside but your sacrificing a lot of upside to get it.
