Hi

I noticed a lot of movement in altcoins and I'm wondering how stupid or how smart would it be to invest in all altcoins.
The idea would be to invest the same small amount in each altcoin.
Then I'm not sure what would be the best strategy from there. I'm pretty sure most coins would bring losses but the ones that grow would maybe cover that plus some?

Almost all altcoins are pump and dump coins. The price of altcoins is very unpredictable, and almost everyone wants to gain profit on them.

Do a lot of research of how to trade. And learn about trading patterns, etc.

you needed to stay in front of the trading / exchange site if you going to do that because pump and dump coins will disappear or will raped your btc in a short seconds of your time, this can't cover your loses because long term coin only comes up not that much but steady for long term investment, you needed to study hard before entering trading.

Yeah all altcoin is unpredictable and it needs a lot of research to know if the altcoin has a great future..
For me i am relaying in marketcap i choose top 15 to 20 altcoin to invest because i know those coins are living long unlike new altcoin..

For me it's better to stay on bitcoin for a while especially when halving is near upon us.
If you're trade with bitcoin, other altcoin will only follow to adjust bitcoin value as well so you only made few profit !

It's better if you don't invest in all alt coins because it will give you small profit. If you ask me i would choose the coins that has a price movement and also the volume of bitcoin so it will be easy for the coin to pump it's price.

Invest in those coins which have some future to it.


Invest in those coins which have some future to it

that is a bad idea if I understand it correctly.
you want to spread your investment among a lot of "random" coins and then hope that your total profit will be bigger than your total loss.
if that is what you mean then it is terrible, because you are gambling not trading. you have to hand pick the coins that you want to invest in not invest in them randomly and hope for the best.
also you have to choose your entrance for each of those coins so entering in a wrong time may lead to big losses even.

I would prefer to invest in almost-dead coins, I mean the ones who need some volume to remain on the exchange.
You will possibly see a huge rise as the pump only needs a few coins and so, it is possible you may turn out your investment into a giant profit.

Not all altcoin is you can have profit , there is a  high chance of loosing if you try all of altcoin , also in yobit many coin here are dead and not pumping or it makes more time to pump choose carefully what kind of altcoin you want much better if you study first the coin.

Actually its simple, just buy it when the alt coins price down alot, isn't it? It would be cool if you hold that alt coins for long term .No one knows with that strategy maybe you can covered your loss in other alt coins, but that can also make you loss a lot.

When invest in altcoin you must ready to get lost, because when altcoin get dump it really hard to get pumped again

If you have some mining equipment, you can mine some altcoin that offer mining phase to get cin when the diff is low but nowadays most altcoin offer ico

I think it is not good every day a lot of coins drop and a lot of coins rise so what will be the benefit if you earn at one coin and at the same time you lose at the other, the better is that invest only on those coins which you are well aware with.

Investing in altcoins at this time can be risky because the exchange rate is low because of the bitcoin price but the exchange rate can go even lower if the bitcoin price get increased in this halving and after it. But if bitcoin price dumps then a profit by selling these coins can be greater.

i think its not an bad idea. because the price is too low. and can get the momentum any time. but keep it in your mind that the news about the hacking is still new. and it will take some more time to get the accelerator.

altcoins prices more unpredictable than bitcoin prices because if you buying cheap the particular altcoins doesn't mean tomorrow or next month the prices will immediately grown up but some people could made a lot of profit from their altcoins trading activities but until now i have no strategy and don't understand how to predict altcoins with the exact prices

I'd say it would be very risky, though I don't have hard data.to back that up.  It'd be like investing in a stock index fund, except for this market here is so much more volatile.  These altcoins are just pump and dump schemes, as others have said.  Investing in all of them?  Yeah, good luck.

This, and also try to stay clear of 1 dev coins

Don't ever do that. Even if one of those altcoins is a good coin, but it doesn't mean you will make on that one enough to compensate for the rest of the losses. Instead just invest in multiple good projects or alts, instead of doing it on all.

I suppose that invest in all alts  is the worst choice you can take,you might end up as a bag-holder only. Probably some alts only.

The same could be said for bitcoin. Trading is dangerous for sure. Diversify and dont take too many risks.

My advice is to invest to the top 15 coinmarketcap coins . Also invest in some that their idea is truly innovative ( ie IOTA ) .

Actually investing in multiple altcoins seems a matter of gambling my friend, because I have realized that these volatile moves are caused by mere speculation rather than real technical or fundamental facts, so it would be really hard to identify the proper time to buy or sell without useful indicators to trade in a false and highly manipulated market.

Don't invest in all alt coins because in the end only few coins from your pick will be on the trend it's better if you do short trade rather than long trade like investing on alt coins then holding it for a few months. IMO you can earn great amount of bitcoin if you do short trade mostly on the coins that are on trend and also have an active market because if the coin that you buy have that common requirements for short trading i'm sure that you will earn up 30% from your capital on in just a day :D.

I would advise to invest in any alt on poloniex, that looks like it wont be de-listed, esp the alts under 1k sats,  and really especially the ones under 500 sats, they have seen crazy gains.

Just put 1BTC in each and set a nice x5 return.

EG: buy at 100 sats, sell at 500. it might take 1 - 2 years. but i should think 9 out of 10 will see a pump and give you x5 return.

Bitcoin could be worth $1,500+ in 1-2 years from now


so you could be getting an almost 4 bitcoin "Bonus" every month".

Investing to all altcoin is not a good idea it can be lose or bankrupt.. if you want to invest your money be sure to choose the trusted altcoin and dont forget to invest some in bitcoin to make a profit.. choose top 10 in coinmarketcap.. and i think those altcoin can be live in long run..

long term investment is good only btc, alt coin only shorterm,
but you want you longterm, you can buy is low price eth or litecoin, is low capital money you can buy doge coin

Crazy idea sir,however it would be really strange if you would make profit after counting all losses.
The problem is there are too many "short-live coins".I mean that many of alts are going to die in sometime,and the price is really unpredictable,also due to volume amount-if someone sells to much,it may start panic selling and well that can cause alt will be worth almost nothing.

it is impossible to make any profit this way. let me put it this way, you have better chance of winning the lottery instead. and besides you can always test your strategies without using money. just go to an exchange site and write down the prices for the coins you have in mind in an excel sheet and then check them in the future to see how much you have lost/gained in total.

I'm really not sure what you would reap from investing in all of these shitcoins. They improve little or next to nothing on the principle of bitcoin and really, I don't think they are worth your time.

Just keep stacking your bitcoins :)

Most alt coins are DOA copy and past. It's when they offer a better service AND are successful at it that they are worth investing in.

I have some bags but I trust in the development in them. Would stay away from anything anyone tells you to buy.

yes to added don't listen to any trolls there just promoting the coin to earn from you, maybe most of alts that already exist will earn you some btc because they already prove their existence so better to invest from it and stake. good luck.

you can get way better result by investing in only 2-3 of altcoins that you choose carefully and buy them when they are at the lowest rather than buying them randomly.

this is trading after all and you can actually see the rises and falls of the coins and if you can detect the low price and enter at that point then you can make a good profit by selling at the highest.

Your subject line Invest in all alts is totally wrong. It should have being 'Invest in some alt coins' would have made more rationale behind investing.

First of all, there are too many alts. Way too many. You should deffinitely not invest in all, because most are dead or will die soon.

Then there are a couple of alts that may worth a look. But it's rather difficult to predict their movement and, while Bitcoin is considered a high risk investment, alts come with much greater risk.

Of course, if you pick the few really good ones, you can earn 10x maybe 100x. But if you don't you may just go bankrupt. Tough choice.

Why do we need to invest into the altcoin right now is it the end of the bitcoin already if it goes that fast why would we invest into a new
cryptocurrencie what if that stops also after a couple of years.

Let me just inform you that 80% of alt coins are now dump coins. They cost 1 satoshi now. There are some alt coins that cost 1000 sats or more back then and now it's just 1 sats each.

Investing in all alt coins with just small amount each is like putting one egg per each basket. As I imagine putting one egg per one basket, I find it tiring. I'm pretty sure it would be as well in alt coins. It would take you some time and effort to invest in all alt coins. And also, most of those alt coins wouldn't rise up anyway. You wouldn't be sure that you aren't buying at the peak of the alt coin's pump.

Considering how many alt coins will fail over all those alt coins and you invest the same amount of BTC in each alt coin, then I'm pretty sure that you're more likely to lose money than earn some. Unless you bought a coin at a really low price and when you decided to sell all your coins it has risen up really really high.

Why do we need to invest into the alt coin they has nothing to to with th ebitcoin it was just the older bitcoin and why do you think that would be very special to investi all into the altcoin
if it is true that the altcoin will be more popular why are not other ones telling me this.

Dont invest in alts people alts are nothing worth if you want to make money with a cryptocurencie you need to keepit just with the bitcoin and not
the other ones i can tell you this because i tryd by my self and it does not work.

Better choice would be to invest in only one altcoin, which you know and then wait for price increasing.  ;D

It's not the best strategy you can try, but better to check about the future and statistic on each alt coins. it's will better to you, but some alt does not have a good statistic and future it's only waste all of your funds if you can spend it on better alt coins.

Be careful with altcoins. Some will eventually just drop in price and not recover. There are so many of them that they will not all survive. It may be better to stick with the more popular ones or at least get in early on the new ones and get out quickly.

if investment I prefer to ICO, because I always get more profits, at least 2-fold.
because trading is high risk with dump and pump. but yes if you have a strategy that could be good. My strategy usually find out about the coin information, whether good or not.

yeah right bettert relay in coin marketcap where you can see top 20 altcoin just choose there what is your altcoin and hold it for a long time to make a profit
If you just choose new altcoin and you are not sure if the price of that altcoin will be increase in the future or not..
Better to choose most trusted altcoin..

Yeah and you may also know what you will feel when you know that you are bagholding coins that have almost 0 btc in trading volume so you even can't sell those shit coins for loss on future.

Buying all altcoins mean you have to buy more than 100 of those alts available out there for trading or even more.

Honestly its not a good idea to choose altcoin better to relay in coinmarketcap that where we can see well known altcoin and best to invest..

Investing in all alts could potentially earn some profit. It really depends on ho much you made and lose.

I don't think that it needs to invest in all alts just to earn some profit because you can still earn good amount of bitcoin if you choose the coin that has a potential like it has a good dev and also good progress.
Investing in all alts could potentially get negative profit not to a positive one because not all the coins will be on trend or either increase it's price because there's still a lot of coin and it's very hard for you to spread your money in all alts.

I think it's just a matter of information, so you can choose a good coins to invest to search for information in coinmarketcap, by looking at a large volume. but I have experience investing in ICO, especially if that a coin have a good project, I can get a double benefit.

You are right about this,i have a friend who was trying the thing we discuss: invest in all alts.
of course it wasn't all of them but he picked like 80% of them blindly and just bought some of them back then.
But he did like 60% loss if i remember good

Yeah right very hard to choose what is altcoin is the best to choose if the price will increase in the future or not..
Thats why i dont invest it i just doing it by bounties because you can get altcoin for bounties for free and hold it for a long time and im sure even one altcoin will increase the future you are lucky to make a profit in the future if the price of that altcoin will increase 10x or more..

pretty good idea,i never thought about this,you can really make some decent money after some time.
But it is possible to trade with altcoins that are not known well,you just need to be careful + always look at the volume.

I understand that people who invest in altcoins don't need long time investment, but instead are seeking short timed pump and dump alts to grab fast money.
Op, probably wanted to spread investing money over many altcoin to diminish losing potential of such operations. If one alt would become successful then money lost on other alts will not be in vain.

It is an interesting approach but very risky. Investing in one altcoin is basically gambling - investing in multiple altcoins is like placing a multibet.

You'd have the potential to earn some profit, but you'd also have the potential to lose your money. Just choose to do what you think it's best for you and hope for the best.

Definitely not a good idea imo. Most of altcoin is just a shitcoin and many have lost in trading because of that. I suggest to buy only those alts that is worth it like eth, doge, etc.

Many alt coin good for investment and you can have enough profit for buying them .but buying all alt coin will make you lost your money not all altcoin is good for trading many of  the coins is stable and the other ia going be dead. so need to be careful what u choose to buy altcoin.

I think you must make Investment with you can lost it, if you wanna make Investment in all alt coins you must be ready to lost them.
And about the strategy of depend on you what is your types of traders are like day traders, scalper or investor.

I don't think so. Most of the coins are shit and pumping dumping coins. You will lose all of the money. I suggest you buy all of the good coins.

Exactly said, also finding the good coin is really hard. In my opinion if one is interested in making profit with altcoins, needs to be in close observation with the price and make the trading within days to get small profit and not ending into loss.

Not a good idea. Just look for trends and invest.

I think it will not be better tat you invest your money in almost all altcoins, as with that it will be much harder for you to keep a view and knowledge on all coins and on your money and the second point is that not all coins come to legit and successful , so try to learn about a coin you want to invest in and after that try to invest in there.

Collect as much data as you can.  What is the search trend for the alt coin? How big is the community?

The last time I checked (several weeks ago) the profit distribution of all 1000 alt coins is slightly below zero on the profit change (7 days).  With most of the alt coins being between -10% and 10% profit/loss in 7 days. Some outliers, but the more far from the median (~ -1%) the more rare.

If you were to randomly pick one (supposing they are not scam), you have a slightly higher chance to have loss than profit.

Yeah it's difficult to control all of the alt you're have it. it's will taking a much of your time and for the point two considers is very important to choose the legit altcoins for you. and you getting a successful doing that.

It's an interesting idea and one I've toyed with for the hell of it too. Obviously I wouldn't do ALL of them, just the promising ish ones.

The issue would be timing for when to get in and out and staying on top of what each one is up to. That would be a full time job in itself.

you do everything on your own risk. But I would advise all to invest!

Me myself would invest in the 5 or 6 coins that I find the most promising. That doesn't mean that I would spend the same amount of btc for all of them. Some seem better some worse, it's up to you to make the right choice. If you spend the same amount on all of them you would probably end up with a loss, of course that's only my personal opinion. The choise is yours

today im invest all in to ethereum, im sure the price will comeback to 0.02
im still mining it and buying as much as possible
