I hear a lot of voices saying that BTC's price will go through the roof when the monetary system goes down.
I've heard predictions of BTC going 4x in 2024. Others say 33x in years to come.
Is there any estimated guess on how high Ethereum can go?
While the growth of BTC depends on the loss of confidence in regular currencies (dollar, euro..) it seems that the growth of ETH is not dependent on this.
I often hear people talk about BTC value explosion, while it seems that growth of ETH price is more gradual and linear. So basically a lower expected return on investment.
Also, after BTC surviving for more than 10 years and not even the Chinese government being able to stop it, I am quite confident it can not be stopped.
But can ETH somehow be stopped? Confiscated or devalued when exchanges are attacked
The investment I can afford right now is 1 BTC and 1 ETH.
I barely have fixed costs for the next 2 years so I can slowly stack up.
But I don't know if the same amount is better invested in let's say 0.5 BTC and 5 ETH. That will depend on growth potential and safety
Also if the government somehow finds a way to attack BTC, owning 5 ETH can compensate for the other investment that didn't work out.
I would like to diversify, but don't find many suited options to diversify in.

I don't think so, I mean when bitcoin goes down or crashes, ETH will follow BTC. There will be no ETH price increase while BTC plunges, the crypto market is still completely dependent on bitcoin. Diversification should be applied to other non-crypto assets such as your investments in gold, real estate, and cryptocurrencies.
If you like safety then bitcoin is the way to go, but the returns couldn't be better for altcoins. If you want to risk more for better returns, then ETH is the right choice as it is quite safe and offers better returns than BTC.
I wouldn't listen to anyone in here. People are either bitcoin or eth people and will pitch you their bags. If you believe in both of them hedge your bet and buy 50% down the middle, and slowly cost average your way up on both of them. It limits your downside risk if one of them goes down and removes the opportunity risk if you pick the wrong one that moves better in the future. Good luck you are on the right path
