When this matters
Should you hold BTC or convert to ETH?
A converter page should answer more than math. The exchange rate tells you how much ETH you get for each BTC, but it does not tell you whether the trade improves your portfolio. That is why Alpha Factory pairs the live rate with Alpha Score and Risk Wave.
Alpha Score helps compare structural quality and risk, while Risk Wave adds timing context. When one coin wins both, the hold decision is usually clearer. When the metrics split, the rate may still matter for tactical reasons, but the longer-term verdict is closer to neutral.
The practical use case is simple: treat the conversion math as the transaction layer, then use the hold verdict as the portfolio layer. That keeps you from making swaps that look efficient on paper but weaken your overall setup.

What's the Alpha Score difference between BTC and ETH?
Alpha Score compares structural risk on a 0-100 scale, where lower is better. On this page, the score gap helps answer whether Bitcoin or Ethereum currently looks cleaner from a portfolio-quality perspective, rather than just showing which one is moving faster this week.
Which is better to hold long-term, BTC or ETH?
There is no universal winner for every investor, but this page gives a directional hold verdict using Alpha Score and Risk Wave together. If one coin has both a cleaner structural profile and a lower risk reading, it usually has the stronger case for a long-term hold at this moment.
