I have both, but no other cryptocurrency.

I think it likely that ethereum and bitcoin will develop interchangeability in the not-so-distant future, actually. There has been talk of it. Both applications have a lot going for them. However, it there is a bitcoin sidechain called Rootstock that is under development, which is basically the ethereum virtual machine. If ethereum dapps can run on a network secured by bitcoin, it might take some wind out of ETH's sails. Still ethereum is supposed to move from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake in the summer, which might significantly affect its value. At any rate, I expect that one way or another, BTC will be able to be used in turing complete blockchain application in the next couple of years.
