With the recent ground that Ethereum has made on the BTC ratio, people are once again discussing the possibility of a 'flippening' occurring in 2018.
In the event of that occurring, I wanted to make a video sharing what my action plan for that would be. Let me know what you think!
DISCLAIMER: This is NOT financial advice. I am just offering my opinions. I am not responsible for any investment decisions that you choose to make.
Ethereum and Litecoin are much quicker and cheaper than bitcoin, even when bitcoin's mempool is not clogged.
In some metrics, Ether has already surpassed Bitcoin: Since July of 2017, Ether has had more and more transactions on daily basis than bitcoin:

Will cardano conquer eth?

I feel that EOS will or at least make a run at it before ADA is able to.

I do not fully understand how EOS.io can replace Ethereum. If it runs on top of Ethereum that just doesn't really make sense to me. I've been doing my best to understand EOS but still can't fully wrap my head around that.

Not what I thought you were going to say, but it makes sense. I try to diversity as much as I can, but it's easy to get heavy on one coin.
I'm not sure if I know if a flipping would occur, but if it did, I probably would do something similar to what you just described...originally, I may have just bought more Eth, but after watching this, I suppose I realize that might be not the best idea.

I blieve all the top 10 currencies in the market have the potential to double at least 3 times this year.
Keep it up

A potential flippening could be possible but I personally don't see Ethereum holding the position for a long time. If we ideally hit a market cap of 1T ,maybe we will see true separation happen, moving away from bitcoins influence.

I think at moment Ethereum is one of the (if not the) most promising crypto-currencys out there

There's a huge gain potential if the ratio of ETH is over .2. Time will tell

Sounds like a good plan to diversify and balance crypto holdings. NEO looks like a good bet as well as BTC.

I think that ether will be number one in a few months. And i believe we will see the cashening (BCH) in 2018 too. I don't have much faith in BTC sorry, even though i hold some.

I believe with all the problems surrounding bitcoin and transaction fees and times without segwit and lighting working we’re going to see a shift towards any thing with lower fees all over again, something like litecoin has nearly solved issues. Furthermore litecoin tends to be the last to bleed off compared to the other established coins. I think we will see a matchening but I don’t think it will hold for long as like you said the sentiment is not to miss your profits like last time.
All in all I believe Bitcoin and Ethereum have a long battle ahead of them and if we are prepared for that we won’t be on the butt end of the joke.
@louisthomas thanks for the update, don’t miss it next time 😉

Bitcoin and Ethereum are 2 different things completely
They can co-exist, one as a network of money and one as the world computer...

I think it is a very real possibility that the flippening will happen.
I also think you do right in the sense that if it does happen then selling some of the ETH is probably a smart move.
I don't personally hold much Ethereum, I do hold a little but I think there are plenty of other similar projects which have much more growing room. Time will tell I guess.

Thank you @louisthomas, though you say you are not giving financial advice still what I want to take away from your videos is that we should have a plan and rebalancing is a very crucial part of it.

I'm confused
In a space built on the ideal of decentralization, what is the correlation to the hierarchal proverb of top dog?
Could you elaborate on the importance of the distinction you are making and the relevance of a 'flippeneing'?

I think this is a good strategy. A few months ago I really did not like bitcoin compared to other cryptos and like you I favor eth but I've only been in this space a short time. What I've learned is that the crypto market has not matured enough for alt coins/tokens to stand outside of bitcoins influence. Bitcoins fees and transaction times are a problem but I look at the transactions times like the connection speed to the internet back in the 90s when we waited a minute or two for dialup to get on. Now nobody thinks about it today we just pull out our phones or open our laptops and we are connected. In the same way I think all the coins/tokens will solve this transaction time issue in the next few years. Also this is a programmable asset which means it can evolve. If bitcoin updates it protocol to be able to conduct smart contracts then I think it's game over for many coins. I don't care how much greater the tech might be. Bitcoins adoption rate is far superior and it would take enormous efforts to take its users. The best tech doesn't always win. Apple is a perfect example of this. That's why you can never count bitcoin out because I think of what it can become not what it is now.
