If you had x% of the whole market cap in 2013 peak, and just held BTC, you would now have captured a fraction of the growth if you diversified into some alts, true knowing the ones to pick is the issue but as a whole the alts are really pulling the growth multiples out of BTC....how do you all feel about this?

Dividing the money of the investors is really a difficult thing with bitcoin rising.
They are growing and so is the money needed by them through their ICO's but it will be the investors choice and we cant stop that.
Remember bitcoin is a free money and we might as well be free too when it comes to choices to what we want to invest with.
If bitcoin will really rise to a price that is almost at the moon, then it shall be.

Bitcoin is not free money you had to spend time investing it and securing it, and understanding that, its not insignificant.

Too lazy to do that and I just prefer to HODL the big old one anyways. I'm happy with what I have and that's all I care about. Why grumble about missed opportunities when there are more right around the corner?

Right answer. For haw many times did you/him/me wanted to sell and then we all hold. It is not the price that matter its how many do you have them. With small amount you look on how much bitcoin is worth and on many you dont really care when you want to drop out you will do it if dont you wont do it.

Simple as that.

you need to be a trader, a good one actually to be able to make that kind of profit out of the altcoin market. you can go over there these days to see all the wounded people lying besides the road just because they have bought an altcoin with this false hope and are not losing a lot of money.


how do "you" feel about this?

That's a great point indeed. Holding bitcoin has always eventually been turning out to be fruitful. No matter how high the price seems - there's always something bigger to come. Nevertheless, one has to set the limit of holding in advance. For example, decide that will withdraw when btc is $10k or when the amount of btc in dollars equals $40k. Otherwise it is not money at all, because one is simply not using it and keeps storing till death.

bloody mess though that is expected for a market still dependent on the status of bitcoin but good starting point if you know the potentials of the coins listed
