Bitcoin Forum

I like the looks of NXT and DASH, myself.

My bet would be on Monero which has solved Bitcoins apparently fatal flaws by introducing dynamic block size and a tail emission, enhanced privacy is an extra plus

I think if BTC really tanks pretty much all alts are going to tank right along with it. Maybe some more than others but still..

If I absolutely KNEW 100% that BTC was going to tank tomorrow I'd rather just get short on it with as much leverage as I could and actually profit off of the fall rather than just hedge against it.

I would sell all and not buy anything else. Everything is tied to Bitcoin and if it dies the rest go down with the ship. Once it hit bottom I would buy back and play the game once again.

Depends on the reason it tanks

I would go to the safe haven coin, LTC.

WARPCOIN 100%! but sadly, as crowdsale is now over.... supply has dried up untill it hits an exchange. Otherwise, POT, DASH, and just in case of a random pump 42

I think that is a pretty safe play. The only other option that I feel would work if you had a considerable amount of Bitcoin would be to sell into fiat and hold.

Yeah, this also.  But it's hard to trust which exchange to hold fiat.  NBT is a good option for this but there isn't much volume.  

Edit:  There's also USDT by Tether and Bit.Fiat by Bitshares.  But again no volume.

I always liked DOGE.  I'm not into dark markets and the DOGE community is kinda goofy and cool.  But apparently the coin is very easily pumped and dumped as evidenced by yesterday's action, and that scares me a little.  Litecoin is probably just as good though, and I've used it as well.

I'd split equally between Litecoin, and Dash.  Litecoin for the safe haven aspect and huge tradeability.  Dash because of the innovations including solving the scaling problems of Bitcoin with Dash Evolution and also solving the instant point of sale transaction speed with Instantx (see the Dash soda machine as an example), plus the decentralised self governance which is already funding, and planning to fund, projects to help Dash move further forward.

I hold a third Bitcoin, a third Monero, and a third Aeon. 
 
I wish I had equal shares of Ethereum too, even though I think their IPO stinks, but I don't hold any. 
 
Nevertheless, I feel safe in my crypto-holdings that I can survive just about any storm.

ltc or doge  those can swing up and down also though... ppc is another and nxt. Spread it out over a few good ones.

My bet is on litecoin,dogecoin and monero byte coin seems to be a very promising coin everytime i mone on minergate my smart miner application always point to bytecoin as the best coin at that present time but of course like what one reply says every coin are all tied up to bitcoin

I invest all the time in two coin that never let me down so far LTC and DASH, i have some investment in LEO but was short coming coin anyway
Safe is the best bet here from personal experience dont rush on these things

I would wait until Feb 3. On that day will be Decred released

If it was an absolute certainty that BTW would tank then i would most likely convert it to FIAT. If i had to choose an altcoin i would most likely go with something like ETH (im not the biggest fan of it but it seems to hold value and is pretty popular with huge volume right now). The honorable mentions would be coins like BAY, DGB, NXT. I could consider going into those also, from the 3 most likely BAY.
It is really hard to say what happens if BTC indeed does get rekt as everything is connected to it.

Like the idea that you've mentioned NXT. In the past few month's seems to be in the background a little bit

I would not buy just one I would buy several, you never know which Coin will be the New Nr 1.
So a  basket of top coins. Top coins in a way that they oder a better technology than Bitcoin (like IOTA, Nxt or Ethereum)

Any reason why, or just talking your books / advertising?

You need to know why bitcoin would tank and pick the altcoin that does not have that particular issue. Bitcoin's possible achilles heel is fungability, but that would not cause the price to tank from the one day to the other (and I would definitely not run into the arms of the Dash instamine scam).

What do you think about NXT? It's now a long living coin, which had better days. I remember when the price was at 7k sat.

NXT isn't so much a coin, more like an Asset Exchange for hillarious stuff. 0.00002329 just reflects that. The biggest trade volume for NXT takes place at BTC38 for NXT/CNY so even the Chinese want to get out their money from NXT (if the Chinese are pumping a coin the graphs are looking distinctively different, and take place in a NXT/BTC market instead)

The right decision would be some of the top coins by marketcap like Ethereum and Ripple. There is some future reflected in their technology, where Bitcoin presents more like a past history. (pointing at the thread toppic, "If you know Bitcoin will tank tomorrow")
LTC is way to much just like Bitcoin (if BTC tanks, LTC will tank, too) and the top 5 following is DOGE which wasn't even meant to be durable at all, by emission rate allone.

Everything below does not even present 0.5% of Bitcoin's market weight so not worth looking at. The grave danger of picking up an URO coin.

i would diversify between litecoin, peercoin and dogecoin

i remember that in 2014 NXT assets had just huge marketcap, with high trading volume. Since then no succesfull assett was released. I don't know why

They'd all be fucked. Bitcoin is the teet and all the rest are fighting for a suckle.

This is somehow true. Most of the Assets James brought out, got a lot of Nxt, but at the very end most of them are still in development without groundbreaking news in the meantime. He also created to many different projects instead in concentrating at one and finish it

If BTC would tank tomorrow all altcoins will tank with it. Everyone wants BTC in the end when they cash out. But BTC won't tank and there is no coin to replace it anyway.

i like how DMD 's market history and future looks like.

I'd go for fiat :). If BTC tanking all altcoins used to follow suit. Until all alts are practically pegged to BTC none would be useful as a safe heaven.

i would move into something that doesn't share btcs reason for tanking. possible candidates: fiat, eth, nxt

There are some old, reputated coins which doesn't depend on BTC imo

nah, i think there are some altcoins that are not that much dependent on bitcoin price, so they are going to stay as they are now.

if i BTC really is worthless, then it is too late to jump to an other coin that is connected /traded with bitcoin.

you have to do this before the crash.

Probably he wanted just to make some fast NXTs
