Popular unpopular opinion:

Eth won’t hold up in the long term against #BTC, and the people who are telling you otherwise have a lot less to lose than you do if you listen.

It’s:

1. Premine vs proof of work:

While this wasn’t always the case (premine & proof of work vs. proof of work). After the “merge” to proof of stake, anyone who benefited from the premine was given even more control over the network. If you like fair playing fields; you will like #Bitcoin.

2. Centralization concerns vs. hyper security:

When something goes wrong with Eth, not only is it usually rumored to be an inside job (not possible with #BTC). The logical suspects are usually also the ones in charge of “fixing” the problem. If you like there being no problems in the first place; you will like #Bitcoin

3. Complexity vs simplicity:

Straight forward and easy to grasp is often better than confusing and easy to mess up. This contributes to the stark differences in security as well. Simplicity is predictable, complexity is erratic. If you like predictability; you like #Bitcoin.

There is no second best.
