Bitcoin Vs. Ethereum: Which is a Better Investment?

I like to think of Bitcoin as similar to a stock. For a currency it has impracticalities, but transfer fees and time are quite similar to stocks.

    But isn't the point of BTC to be a currency that gives more privacy and is decentralized? The last two points don't mean much if it's not a currency - like what is it giving you a stock in?

    Well, I don't mean that it has the features of a stock, just that it shares some of the impracticalities of a stock.

    On a side note: If a stock was (somewhat) anonymous, decentralized, did not pay yearly bonuses and represented ownership of a company that would never be sold, then you would have an asset quite similar to Bitcoin.

      I don't agree that Bitcoin represents ownership of a company - that would make more sense if it was PoS
