I do respect your opinions about hodling, but I still prefer to hodl bitcoin than ethereum. If you are saying that eth is better than btc, then it is a disrespect for the king of all cryptocurrencies. Why I will hodl my bitcoin? It is simply because I believe with it's potential to be valued much in the future and there are so many bigtime people or organizations who bought bitcoin, and as of now they are hodling their assets.
It was an option for him to choose ETH over bitcoin because they think it is the most peddling thing compared to bitcoin.
We know that all coins are focused on bitcoin because it is one of the most sought after coins to date and even compares bitcoin to other stocks, and of course I will have more confidence in bitcoin from start to finish, even as a future investment.
Still the highest asset will be bitcoin in its entirety and other coins will only be complementary, but I also have no doubt that ETH currently knows the glory of ETH at its current peak and increases along with the development of bitcoin above it.
