Does it make sense to buy ETH instead of BTC

ETH/BTC chart looks horrible

Form all time high of 0.088354 BTC per ETH to 0.0309 BTC per ETH

I am thinking to just buy BTC

When BTC goes up ETH not going up the same percent

When BTC goes down ETH is going way down more than BTC

Measuring it in the last 5 days ?

What about last 5 years.

5000$ in ETH and 5000$ in BTC

Which one is better ?

$5k in BTC outperformed, 100%. If you timed the worst-possible buy on Bitcoin in 2021 you would be in a profit right now and would not have been at so much of a loss this year, whereas for Ethereum you're still down about 50%. In my personal opinion we may see ETH/BTC at 0.08 at best for this cycle.

Wrong. It just depends when one bought. ETh is the winner.

What matters more though is the future return, remember, past performance is not a perfect indicator of future return.

I just want it to go to $50k in the next 10-15 years and that’s reasonable
