Ethereum still looks like it is very investible for newbies as a long term strategy. This is especially true when you rack it up against Litecoin or what I would say the very weak Bitcoin Cash. The new update on their system seems like a success and the smart contract focused protocol looks like it will be doing good for them. While, people can still technically integrate a smart contract system into Bitcoin's blockchain using its protocol, Ethereum features an integration like smart contracts in their platform. Also the latency is expected to improve over time. However, BTC still ranks supreme in value because of other things it brings to the table.
