People often ask whether to hold BTC or ETH for the long term.

Here’s how I see it: In the crypto world, BTC is positioned as digital gold, a store of value, and the so-called crypto faith. Given this positioning, it’s almost impossible for any coin to surpass BTC—first is first. ETH, on the other hand, is positioned as blockchain infrastructure. Although it currently dominates the market (including L2s) and technology, it can’t be said that it’s impossible for another blockchain to surpass it. On one hand, technology is always evolving; on the other, there’s also the possibility of being overtaken from a business perspective—for example, today’s stablecoin chains pose a significant threat to it.

So from this perspective, the difference between the two is like 0 and 1. If you want to hold long-term without thinking, BTC is clearly more stable.
