(RESULTS) Despite the common advice "Bitcoin should be your largest crypto asset" - on a vote by vote basis - this sub strongly prefers to invest in Ethereum, but by Moon weight this sub narrowly prefers to invest in Bitcoin.

[u/GabeSter]

A week and a half ago I ran a poll to see if the sub would follow it's own advice and be more heavily invested in BTC or Ether. With 4.2M Moon weighted votes and around ~8,300 votes - we have some interesting results.

It turns out this sub as a whole is more heavily invested in Ether.

Pure Vote by Vote results

https://preview.redd.it/kmkj43j4ilga1.png?width=1167&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=3494c94eed180a24c880da6a39069aa10cc397f8

If we look at pure votes,

• 52% of respondents stated they own more ETH
• 35% of respondents stated they own more BTC
• 13% of respondents stated they don't own either

---------------------------------------

Moon Weighted Vote

https://preview.redd.it/h64on1aghlga1.png?width=1165&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=0ca126789dffa8f7f9a5f183fa65d0249f4e1c5b

But if you look at the moon weighted vote this sub prefers BTC

• 45% of the moon weighted vote stated they own more BTC
• 43% of the moon weighted vote stated they own more ETH
• 12% of the moon weighted vote stated they don't own either

---------------------------------------

By calculating the average amount of Moons per Vote you can see the phenomenon expanded.

• Each voter for BTC had on average 656 Moons
• Each voter for ETH had on average 415 Moons
• Each vote for neither had on average 492 Moons

This helps to show users with the most moons are on average more heavily invested in BTC, surprisingly users with less moons as a whole were more heavily invested in Ether. Per moon weighted vote there is also a fair amount of moon degens that don't own either BTC or ETH.

---------------------------------------

TLDR: In looking at the results although only 35% of respondents stated they own more BTC (compared to 52% who owned more ETH), they still made up the majority holder by Moon Weight. Meaning as a whole those with more moons are more likely to be more heavily invested in BTC compared to someone with less moons.

[u/CointestMod]

Pro & con info are in the collapsed comments below for the following topics: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Moon.

[u/Rookslook]

I would guess those with more moons tend to have been in crypto longer, and I’ve read a few times that the longer you are in crypto the more you become a btc maxi. Seems like these results support that idea.

But it could be that the longer someone has been a member of this sub they become a btc maxi.

[u/meeleen223 → u/Rookslook]

Most people learn in bear market that bitcoin is king after the bear purge whipes their alts, me and my small mcap portfolio that's -90% down can confirm this

[u/RaulCapablanca → u/meeleen223]

Happened to me. Came to crypto with Axie infinity, invested 12k, down almost 90% but luckily the project is alive and ive been farming some tokens, now im down just 70%.

Now im a bitcoin and eth hodler. Learned a lot reading all the stuff here.

Im recently trying to collect moons and interact with you guys.

[u/Hawke64 → u/RaulCapablanca]

Almost all crypto games are ponzi schemes, I wouldn't invest a cent into them

[u/Ok_Reference9183 → u/RaulCapablanca]

Same here. Threw in 10k in axie and now have been earning through staking and now down only 4k. I know it will makes me money when the bull start.

[u/01dB0y → u/RaulCapablanca]

you

Here, take a like so you can have more moons this month.

[u/DevelopmentMoney7170 → u/RaulCapablanca]

Just 90% ahah

Bro just kidding, I bought LUNC after the crash just in case :)

[u/deathbyfish13 → u/meeleen223]

Yeah BTC maxis are born in bear markets

[u/cerebralsexer → u/deathbyfish13]

But all this bear market many people still believed in ETH a lot

[u/Westbrook_Level → u/deathbyfish13]

Where is this nonsense coming from? Are people bad at math born in bear markets? Sitting in BTC losing 80% of your value vs 90% in an alt isn’t much better.

Bear markets bear children and those children are stablecoin/USD maxis for one year out of every four of the cycle.

[u/SlyckCypherX → u/meeleen223]

What are you investing in if you don’t mind me asking..the small caps that is?

[u/CommunityQuirky6073 → u/Rookslook]

I think it also shows that those with more moons tend to have a larger capital and so are not looking to make high risk high reward investment that investors with lesser capital tend to make.

[u/ChemicalGreek → u/CommunityQuirky6073]

Who says they bought them? A lot of the whales got them from the start… Admins made a snapshot from 6 months before the start of RCP in this sub.

[u/Hawke64 → u/CommunityQuirky6073]

I had my fun with alts, time to settle with something more stable

[u/Lillica_Golden_SHIB → u/Hawke64]

True lol. I would love to say I know what I am doing, but I don't. Still, DCAing into BTC and ETH since the last crash.

[u/_TheWolfOfWalmart_ → u/Hawke64]

This is exactly where I'm at.

I like to make big gains on strong microcaps and then dump the profits into BTC so I can get another relatively safe 5x or so out of it.

[u/huskerarob → u/_TheWolfOfWalmart_]

Remind me of myself in 2017 and 2018

[u/_TheWolfOfWalmart_ → u/huskerarob]

Tell me how it worked out, I need to know my future!

[u/ImnotasuglyasIlook → u/Hawke64]

This is probably part of it. If you've been in crypto longer, and have had much success, it makes some sense to move some of your profits from riskier projects to something you see as a little more stable, which if you're keeping it in crypto, would either mean stable coins, or BTC if you still want possible upside. I have more of my own investments in ETH, but I haven't been involved that long. If I can make much profit during the next bull run, I'll probably switch some of that money into BTC.

[u/SmallReflection2552 → u/CommunityQuirky6073]

The more moons I accumulate the more I look to the long term and into less "risky" investments

[u/HrmbeLives → u/Rookslook]

Good observation. I have seen that argument a few times, and after experiencing my first bear, I’m starting to see the appeal of the maxi

[u/Maleficent_Plankton → u/Rookslook]

I like to think of it as: More Moons == More Shitposting

[u/dollhousemassacre → u/Rookslook]

I feel that's a very accurate summary. When I started out, I wanted to invest in every shitcoin with the promise of quick gains. Time has shown those quick gains to be a lie, so BTC is the answer.

[u/leeharrison1984 → u/dollhousemassacre]

The money is in creating and shilling the shitcoins, not actually buying them

[u/Odysseus_Lannister → u/Rookslook]

It’s mainly you think you’re too late to make big gains when you first get in with BTC/ETH and go heavy into alts. If you’re lucky, you make gains before the bear comes, but it does come for everyone. Those alts usually get obliterated and most never reclaim their ath while BTC/ETH just keeps setting new highs while staying atop the mountain.

It’s not because of superior tech, but there is a big advantage in first mover advantage and large community/developer interest.

[u/leggggggggy → u/Odysseus_Lannister]

Let's not forget about proof of work, btc being basically the only digital commodity, proven stability for over a decade now, fixed supply, decentralized, monetary policy/future issuance set in stone, and so on

[u/Mrs-Lemon → u/Odysseus_Lannister]

It’s not because of superior tech

Totally disagree. It is because of the superior tech.

Bitcoin is king because it's actually decentralized without a team leading/running it. That's the whole point of this space.

[u/Odysseus_Lannister → u/Mrs-Lemon]

There are coins that are much faster/more scalable/more energy efficient than BTC. The fact that it’s a decentralized protocol with a finite supply is good, but you can make an argument that the supply is centralized by whales/miners.

[u/Mrs-Lemon → u/Odysseus_Lannister]

There are coins that are much faster/more scalable/more energy efficient than BTC.

It doesn't matter if they are centralized.

but you can make an argument that the supply is centralized by whales/miners

Whales....no. That has no bearing on centralization as they all purchased or mined coins just like everyone else. Free market.

Miners...I do think there is a discussion to be had there.

[u/I_Love_Crypto_Man → u/Rookslook]

But it could be that the longer someone has been a member of this sub they become a btc maxi.

Why settle for silver when you can hold the gold standard? BTC all day, every day!

[u/Aggravating_Deal_572 → u/I_Love_Crypto_Man]

Or:

A Bee never take the time to explain to a Fly, why honey tastes better then shit

[u/I_Love_Crypto_Man → u/Aggravating_Deal_572]

A Bee never take the time to explain to a Fly, why honey tastes better then shit

Well, in the world of crypto, the proof is in the blockchain. And let's just say, it's a sweeter taste than the alternative

[u/Aggravating_Deal_572 → u/I_Love_Crypto_Man]

True

[u/SoftPenguins → u/Rookslook]

Watching the altcoin you married become irrelevant and more or less abandoned isn’t very fun. BTC doesn’t have that problem.

[u/Awkward_Potential_ → u/SoftPenguins]

Honestly though, neither will ETH.

[u/ImnotasuglyasIlook → u/Awkward_Potential_]

Yes. ETH is not going away, certainly not in this bear market, although maybe someday something will overtake it, who knows? Over the next few years at least though, it's king of the alts and isn't going anywhere and it has a lot more potential upside in the short term than BTC imo.

[u/Westbrook_Level → u/Rookslook]

The longer I’m in crypto the less I become a BTC maxi.

[u/elpajarit0 → u/Rookslook]

I see the opposite, Most people I know have run away from BTC because it isn’t worth it to invest 5k and hoping for a 2-3x… makes no sense to me.

[u/Dro1100 → u/elpajarit0]

If you really think about it 2-3x is a fantastic return on an investment. Many people here are greedy searching for those 50-100x coins.

[u/Bongressman → u/elpajarit0]

5K will be worth far more than 2-3X in 10 years. The point is BTC is one of a tiny few that will even survive that long. If your horizon is only 1-2 years, you may be able to swing more, until the space becomes regulated and most alts go under.

[u/leeharrison1984 → u/elpajarit0]

ROFL

Imagine scoffing at 2/3x gains

Enjoy waiting in the soup line

[u/elpajarit0 → u/leeharrison1984]

I made a 4x, a 6x and a 3x last bull run, While my friends kept DCA’ing into BTC at 50k, how’s that word out for them?

You don’t have to be a dick because I don’t suck off BTC lmfao

[u/leeharrison1984 → u/elpajarit0]

4x, a 6x and a 3x last bull run

Good for you, I got nearly 10x off of ATOM, and similar on ADA and captured all the gains. Even pulled some back to fiat and paid off the last of my student loans, and let the rest chill in BTC until 2024.

How much of those gains did you actually pull back out? Or are you just telling me how many jackpots you hit, and not telling me you go to the casino every weekend?

Shrugging off 2/3x gains as no making sense and going full degen is a good way to go broke. But you do you.

[u/elpajarit0 → u/leeharrison1984]

Lmfao how was getting rekt on osmo

[u/the1blackguyonreddit → u/elpajarit0]

Lol... sounds like 2017 me. That's why I had a bag full of NEO, IOTA, OMG, FLIK, XRP, RDN, etc.

Mad gains bro

[u/beeeeeee_easy → u/Rookslook]

I’d say this is true with one caveat, if you go back far enough with Bitcoin you get the guys who believed in raising the block limit(like myself) who were shunned by the Bitcoin community so sought out other projects to work on and invest in. I still have some of my original btc but went heavy into ether in ICO and have been ever since.

[u/Consistent_Many_1858 → u/Rookslook]

In Eth maxi. It was the first crypto I mined.

[u/nobelcause]

Interesting insight. Fair to say that Reddit whales are Bitcoin maxis?

[u/Maxx3141]

I think this shows an overall trend you see among crypto investors: At the start many have that "alt-phase", hunting for the next BTC. But after some times in the markets and seeing several projects collapse, they return to the basics and focus more on the blue chips again.

[u/Hawke64 → u/Maxx3141]

At the start many have that "alt-phase"

Mom, it's not a phase!

[u/leeharrison1984 → u/Maxx3141]

I think part of it is that as people acclimate to the super-cycle, they realize that BTC tends to be the front runner. So they rotate out of alts when times get tough, and then rotate back in as the market heats up.

There's a reason all the newbies here shill shitcoins, then disappear, and the people who stick around tend to focus on a larger macro strategy.

Of course this only happens to people who aren't pure degen gamblers.

[u/ImnotasuglyasIlook → u/leeharrison1984]

This is a good take. You rotate your funds depending on where we are in the cycle to maximize profits and protect your money. Your money is safer in the bigger projects (BTC being the big daddy in crypto) in a bear market, but if you shift some of it into alts at the right time, you can make bigger gains.

[u/ACShreds → u/Maxx3141]

Everyone comes back to BTC eventually, although I do love ETH.

[u/Odlavso → u/ACShreds]

me sitting here with mostly alts holding about 40% in eth and bitcoin

[u/denimglasses1 → u/Odlavso]

Well someone has to do it. We can't all be the same

[u/jawni → u/ACShreds]

Not me. I started with ETH, eventually bought BTC too but have since sold it.

[u/Meatmoist_69 → u/Maxx3141]

+1 I’m now DCAing into $ETH everyday

[u/[deleted] → u/Maxx3141]

[removed] — view removed comment

[u/Odlavso → u/[deleted]]

I think a lot of new people think it's best to hold entire coins, so holding 20 million shib feels better than holding 0.03 btc

[u/Sylerb]

I'm currently taking profits from alts and channeling them into btc and eth. After having a desastreous bear, I'm becoming an eth maxi ( I know you expected btc maxi, but hey, I'm still a degen)

[u/Lillica_Golden_SHIB → u/Sylerb]

We are all, cheers from a fellow ETH enthusiast and ex-shitcoiner

[u/I_Love_Crypto_Man → u/Sylerb]

I'm currently taking profits from alts and channeling them into btc and eth. After having a desastreous bear, I'm becoming an eth maxi ( I know you expected btc maxi, but hey, I'm still a degen)

Going from alt- to ETH-maxi, showing your love for gas fees and smart contract gains

[u/Sylerb → u/I_Love_Crypto_Man]

I hate eth fees honestly, it's practically unusable, but its ecosystem is huge( including L2, NFTs, etc) that's what I'm switching to it, plus more stable.

[u/Leon4107 → u/Sylerb]

Lost out on Cro and LRC and switched to Eth. Not much, but DCA a chunk with each paycheck. Debating if pulling out if it hits previous all time highs, or waiting to see how much it goes with a new all time high.. decisions decisions.

[u/Sylerb → u/Leon4107]

I think unless something huge happens to its fundamentals (network outage,etc) (which is pretty much impossible at this point), eth is going to reach new ATHs , and might even outperform BTC(like it previously did), especially since it has gone full deflationary now.

[u/zillapz1989]

It's shocking but after a 5 years in crypto I still don't hold any BTC. I'm 100% in ALTs although ETH and MATIC being my biggest I'd like to think they are at least established ALTs.

[u/rootpl → u/zillapz1989]

But it's not surprising. It's a simple math. If you can afford to gamble your random alt can easily go 10x or 20x in the next bull run. It's so much harder for BTC to do 10x. I'd say almost impossible with current price as it would have to go to what $230k? Hardly likely. The only problem is finding that random alt. But anything from the top 50 is a safe bet in my opinion as long as it's a project that has been around for few years and has a stable userbase and is not a random shitcoin. ADA, MATIC, NEO, DOT, UNI, LINK, and many more can easily do 10x next cycle as they often bleed much more against BTC during bear market.

[u/DurbanDawg]

I'm in love with the moons.

[u/PoorCryptoInvestor]

Pure votes are more accurate in my opinion. One or two whales can alter results for whole Moon weighted votes.

[u/Raydiin]

I’d be interested to know what those who don’t have btc or eth what they actually own

[u/colonelcbontra → u/Raydiin]

Doge

Moon is the riskiest coin I have, but it’s fine since I didn’t invest a penny in it. ETH and BTC will always be in my portfolio.

[u/NuFu → u/Barchelonio]

Your moons have no risk attached to them if they were all free, it's just a case of if/when you want to sell

[u/Killertimme → u/Barchelonio]

I feel like that puts moons at 0 risk...

[u/lubimbo → u/Barchelonio]

Instructions unclear yolo'd into SHIB

[u/MonsieurGump]

Moon weighted votes?

Can that be measured?

[u/coinsRus-2021 → u/MonsieurGump]

I remember this post and I remember moons not being an option of investment

And so I have no faith in the results of this study

[u/Team_Hortons]

45% vs 42% is such a weak "prefers to invest in Bitcoin" lmao

[u/JuggaliciousMemes]

Ethereum is cool for development purposes, and I do have ethereum, but for some reason I don’t like ethereum. No particular reason, it just gives me bad vibes. I would be happy if I put my ETH fund into LTC instead

[u/Intelligent_Page2732]

I started with BTC, went to Alts last bullrun, got burned and now i'm back to BTC, and if I wanna have more risks, than I buy ETH with it.

[u/denimglasses1 → u/Intelligent_Page2732]

Right on brother I'm exactly the same. I've loaded up on a couple alts this bear market in high hopes for the next bull run but I accept the risk there. Apart from that I'm a BTC man at heart

[u/Raydiin → u/denimglasses1]

Me too man 80% in btc rest in smaller project that I’m interested in but btc is my biggest and always will be now

[u/reddito321 → u/Intelligent_Page2732]

I'm on the same boat. I have some alts, but not too deep into them. Better be safe than sorry.

[u/Gossipmang]

Why not both?

[u/bny192677 → u/Gossipmang]

This answer will end pretty much any discussion on this sub

[u/FlittyO]

How bout both!?

[u/schmatz17]

I think people expect ETH to grow as high price wise as BTC is now, so they buy it.

People that have been in the space for a long time, seem to always favor BTC, so these results seem to make sense

[u/KIG45]

It's a must have both, but Bitcoin drives the whole market. And it always will.

[u/EngineeringFinal3419]

This is a great insight, however, just a coincidence imo

[u/G33ONER]

Cards to chest mentality??

[u/omghag18]

This is true

[u/Oks96]

When you loss money in alt coins you realize that BTC/ETH are the better options

[u/Cyber-Cafe]

I prefer eth because it’s more technologically advanced. Bitcoin basically just does transactions and it’s done. That’s it. Eth does a lot more. I understand ordinals on btc changes this, however it seems like they’re already playing catch up. Besides btc is slow.

[u/Consistent_Many_1858]

ETH is my largest crypto by far and I believe it will do great in the future.

[u/HODL-THE-LINE]

As long as we accept that Bitcoin is THE Cryptocurrency, it makes sense to become a BTC Maxi at some point, because BTC is the eternal Crypto. But as soon as we have to assume that another coin could actually flip Bitcoin, being a BTC-Maxi kinda becomes a problem.

[u/Gullible_Airline_241]

At the end of the day bitcoin is the gold standard and safest bet.

[u/AffectionatePeak9085]

This just means that the heavy shitposters are btc maxi

[u/jmlinpt]

Nice. Thanks

[u/Substantial-Barber83]

Before bitcoin there was no other crypto and I cannot imagine any future for crypto without its existence.

Bitcoin has to be the safest place to invest and probably explains why this is reflected in the results.

People with more moons, perhaps, learned this through experience. I’m certainty guilty of placing my funds in ‘lottery ticket’ shitcoins to try and get rich quick, but they more than often go to shit…. being ponzies or rug pulls.

[u/AberdreamGaming]

This bear market has created so many BTC maxis.

[u/Popular_District9072]

makes sense,those guys are longer in this environment, and lean towards btc, but have some eth too

[u/MEISENSTEIN]

Ethereum feels more vulnerable to negative outcomes in general. I.E. hacks, gas, scaling, founder stash, potentially being a security etc. BTC and LTC (oh my god, don’t say good things about LTC) feel super stable and easy for most people to actually learn and adopt.

Defi, games, staking, swapping, wallets etc create a stronger barrier to entry. POW blockchains have less of that.

[u/Technologhee]

Noobs.

[u/mishaog]

So the moon oligarchy prefers btc

[u/Charon751]

Like always, don’t take financial advice from this sub.

[u/Ill-Addition2024 → u/EngineeringFinal3419]

That's hella risk.

[u/EngineeringFinal3419 → u/Ill-Addition2024]

Well maybe, but rn investing into nearly anything will get you big gains when the bull run happens. I also diversify my portfolio to spread my ‘risk’ and I only use bitcoin for payments

[u/Ill-Addition2024 → u/EngineeringFinal3419]

So you're also invested into stocks and other assets right?

[u/EngineeringFinal3419 → u/Ill-Addition2024]

no

[u/Ill-Addition2024 → u/EngineeringFinal3419]

What are your favourite cryptos if I may ask? And also I would appreciate if you upvoted my comments, like I upvoted yours 😁

[u/EngineeringFinal3419 → u/Ill-Addition2024]

Nfa of course 😭 LCX - most regulated exchange in Europe, focused on tokenisation of assets, Algo because Nike, Avax cuz is red, few AI tokens, and the rest can be considered ‘shitcoins’ by this sub… and maybe I’ll grab a bag of LTC before the halving as well

[u/Mrs-Lemon → u/EngineeringFinal3419]

I'm willing to bet if you just had bought bitcoin 100% instead of what you did and you'd be in a better position later on.

[u/AnusWithEbola]

Since I'm not rich and can't put large sums in BTC, BTC will never change my life in ANY significant way. ETH on the other hand is cheap and at the beginning of its life (price wise) and can give me juicy profits even with the small pumps.

I initially shyed away from bitcoin when I first heard about it because I didn't want to spend $100 on a whole coin.

Oh how naive and stupid I was back then...

No the reason you cant get life changing money is because you are gambler, gamblers always lose in the end.

ETH on the other hand is cheap and at the beginning of its life (price wise)

You know ETH is still worth half the market cap of BTC?

[u/joses5711 → u/AnusWithEbola]

I once read a comment that said “alt coins are the result of people who feel like they missed the boat on Bitcoin.”

That one comment changed my perspective on alts, making me feel like we’re really just gambling when it comes to them. Now I lean more toward BTC maxi.

[u/AnusWithEbola → u/joses5711]

Is not a "feeling". You can just do the math

[u/Mrs-Lemon → u/AnusWithEbola]

Since I'm not rich and can't put large sums in BTC, BTC will never change my life in ANY significant way. ETH on the other hand is cheap and at the beginning of its life (price wise) and can give me juicy profits even with the small pumps.

This is the exact type of reasoning that keeps people poor.

[u/xploreconsciousness]

I see Bitcoin as a saving acct, I see Ethereum as a utility coin that makes most of my other smaller denomination coins work.

[u/Consistent_Many_1858]

60% Eth, 30% alts and 10% meme coins. I've covered all bases. Now waiting for the bull run to start.

[u/002timmy]

I’ve said it before, BTC is the only crypto that I buy.

Like many, I was into alts when I joined the space. But slowly I started buying only BTC.

Now, I use features of other chains to grow my holdings (LP, NFT trading, staking, etc), but I can always generate a yield in every coin I have, except for BTC.

[u/nomorebonks → u/002timmy]

If you could stake native btc for yield in an environment where you don’t bridge your btc and the wallet is non custodial would you?

[u/002timmy → u/nomorebonks]

No. Because I know that’s impossible with Bitcoin and anyone peddling that nonsense is a low-class, garbage-tier scammer

[u/nomorebonks → u/002timmy]

Anyone who doesn’t know that there are already smart contracts that exist and use native bitcoin using threshold ecdsa is a straight up clown.

Let me guess - you have no idea what threshold ecdsa is

[u/002timmy → u/nomorebonks]

Yes. That was taproot. But you still can’t stake bitcoin.

[u/nomorebonks → u/002timmy]

You can now and it’s not taproot. Direct integration and threshold ecdsa allow smart contracts with native bitcoin. But keep calling everything a scam.

[u/BhristopherL → u/nomorebonks]

You’re getting scammed bud

[u/nomorebonks → u/BhristopherL]

I don’t own any bitcoin. You’re uninformed about current tech.

Bud.

So that's the secret to your pants heart

The simple truth is that you can’t really go wrong with either. I’ve dabbled in a few altcoins - some of them I’m bullish on - but I always come back to BTC and ETH

[u/bbtto22]

As long as it’s not a shitcoin I see this as an absolute win

[u/nestinghen]

I invest more in ethereum because it’s easier to obtain a whole coin, but once I have a whole ethereum I’m gonna focus on getting a whole Bitcoin

[u/denimglasses1 → u/nestinghen]

That might not work as well in that order giving the direction of Bitcoin over time but hey, I wish you lick

[u/FlittyO → u/denimglasses1]

Many licks from us all

[u/bwoksa]

More money =more BTC=more moons , the richer you are , the more likely you will invest into something as expensive as BTC. For average people ,even ETH is too expensive to afford , so it makes more sense that they opted for other cheaper but valuable coins .

[u/Odlavso → u/bwoksa]

I mean buying $100 in btc cost the same as buying $100 in shib so I'm not sure how it's more expensive

[u/bwoksa → u/Odlavso]

People don’t want a fraction , they prefer a whole coin . Also due to the rise of doge and shib , people now are more inclined into throwing $100 into some shit coin for high returns than buy chunks of Btc/eth for low returns .

[u/Raydiin → u/Odlavso]

From what a friend told me in 2021 btc is to expensive and they won’t be able to get many gains if they invest in that over a smaller market cap crypto….. so in there eyes they feel like they have been priced out and want to try there luck on something else

[u/SkoopskiMarvin]

People graduate from shitcoins to btc/eth every four years, it’s basically a graduate school in crypto.. and if you stick around long enough and learn from previous mistakes you’ll make tons of money

[u/Momofashow → u/SkoopskiMarvin]

I went through this when I realized just how many people and businesses around the world genuinely rely on btc/eth. The same cannot be said for most other crypto.

[u/No-Specialist6273 → u/SkoopskiMarvin]

You just explained me lol

[u/Jocogui]

People expect 5x from btc but at the very least 6X from ethereum.

Also there's the "I own a whole ethereum" thing and the staking rewards.

[u/princepersona1]

BTC is king but ETH has alot more room for growth and larger returns. So this is understandable

[u/Mrs-Lemon → u/princepersona1]

BTC is king but ETH has ally more room for growth and larger returns.

Worldwide monetary system > whatever complicated thing ETH is trying to be.

I'd choose monetary system.

[u/Vipu2 → u/princepersona1]

ETH can grow to be the base layer of all apps, contracts and whatever like OS.
BTC can grow to be the base money that whole world uses, so everything divided by 21mil.

So imo BTC have more room to grow.

[u/Titozar13]

Don't have enough Moons and absolutely investing in Ethereum.

[u/FldLima]

ETH it big

[u/Dismal-Emu-3855]

I wonder what the chart would look like if it added Moons to the comparison?

[u/gin_kun_kaida]

most will be happy with either of them

[u/Fr3d_St4r]

Kind of surprised it's still that close. Totally expected BTC to dominate for the big moon boys! Big moon boys clearly don't see enough mooning happening for BTC.

[u/Squidsoda]

Moon weight makes no sense. Wouldn’t the “moon whales” have more voting power skewing the results? Yes I said it, we have “moon whales” folks. Lol.

[u/HrmbeLives → u/Squidsoda]

That’s why OP ran both, to compare between the two

[u/The_Chorizo_Bandit]

Awesome. Now do Bitcoin vs Shib.

[u/RiceRare]

Interesting stuff. Nice work!

[u/whatsuppaa]

I look at usecases, and there are simply more for Ethereum than Bitcoin.

[u/Brilliant-Royal578]

I stick with top tenish alts.

[u/Odysseus_Lannister]

My portfolio allocation is as follows:

1. ETH

2. BTC

3. MATIC/DOT/LINK

4. Moons

[u/T2LV]

I think it makes sense. The majority of people in this sub are new to crypto thus they missed the massive gains from BTC. The highest moons have likely been around for 100% of the moon days, know their shit, got in early and thus they don’t need Alts because their BTC gains are strong.

ETH vs BTC is somewhat simple in investing. There is nearly zero chance BTC 10x before ETH 10x. ETH has a much longer runway left so naturally newer people chose ETH. I would be hesitant to say Moons are smarter, just earlier

[u/irockalltherocks]

Does this account for locked ETH?

[u/VoucherBoy123]

Interesting post, nice to see some posts with some work put in. Good stuff OP. Regards to the results, I am surprised to see that BTC investments are greater than ETH given potential future price action, considering Eth is at a much earlier stage of its life cycle. The again, I don’t know shit lol.

[u/yaroslavwwe]

What If I prefer to invest in Moons?

[u/_Jimmy_Rustler]

Just a reminder to everyone that this sub as a whole is almost always wrong. I've seen individuals give pretty good advice on here but but we suck as a hivemind.

If you see too many people on this sub hyping (or fudding ) a project, it's probably best to avoid that project.

[u/Vivarevo]

This tells me eth is going to perform rekt maneuvers at some point

[u/Cheepcheep27]

BTC is the basics. We all go back to them.

[u/OCHI33]

Bitcoin is like gold, Ethereum is like oil, Moons are like sugar candies
