It is not unusual that in this forum, which is called Bitcointalk for a reason, we prefer Bitcoin to Ethereum. If you get to ask in the alts section, you would surely have more answers preferring Eth. What I would recommend is that you acquire information on both and make an informed decision as to why you prefer one over the other. It is better than buying one because you simply think it will go higher or you have been told in a forum.
I was thinking about long term. Thanks for response.
You have thought about adding more to your initial investment. Many of us on the forum do DCA. You can invest a lump sum at the start but then add x money weekly or monthly. That way you cushion the ups and downs in price.
