Bitcoin Forum

Hello,

As we all awaiting the outcome of the Hardfork, many investors are presently on BTC.

What altcoin will you trade against BTC after fork 🍴?

most of the people interested to invest on bit coins and at the same time alt coins. but compare to alt coins bit coins giving more profit. few times it goes into raise and few times it falls down. really bit coin has great demand so try to once invest in bit coin trading then you get idea about bit coin trading. next you have to invest in alt coins in that you have to earn profit quickly. and it is time saving easy way to earn profit.

Good but what particular coin will you trade against BTC

You can go for ETHER,NEO,RIPPLE.Lets go for first Ether because Ethereum is an open software platform based on blockchain technology that enables developers to build and deploy decentralized applications.Second is NEO because  NEO uses a unique blockchain algorithm that improves upon Ethereum’s model.NEO has made some outstanding progress in both value and market capitalization.And the third one is RIPPLE because Ripple is a very popular network, many banks across the world use it as the basis for their own settlement infrastructure and also their developer team is good.And you can also go for IOTA, Bitshares , PeerCoin, Zcash(ZEC),Tezos, Dogecoin, Ethereum Classic, DigitalCash(DASH),SysCoin(SYS),Verge(XVG), but before invest in any coin , first research well about that coin or take advice from well experienced traders or investers if needed to avoid loss.

After coming fork, we should also wait till next fork (Bitcoin Segwit 2x). After that, I think all the top listed coins on coinmarketcap such as Ethereum, Litecoin, Neo, Dash and monero will be attractive choices for investors.

I think bitcoin gold will bleed bad after the fork. For this reason I am investing into alternate currencies and will sell then later when they next alt bull has begun. This was i can exchange my alts for bitcoin or bitcoin gold which ever is doing good at that stage.

There's a lot of choice that we can trade with bitcoin after the fork but I'm sticking to my plans, ETH, RIPPLE and Monero for now and while I keep on looking for some other good coins for long term holding.

These are also on my list, NEO, DASH, IOTA. Actually there's a lot of it but I choose to have more quantity of each coin rather than having a lot of coins that has a small number of holding.

I'm also keeping an eye to bitcoin cash as there's a lot of support from exchanges and web wallets. Also I'm tuning in with Segwit2x and let's see if this will be a good contender.

Btc is stay others will be lost in one day . but the mother (BTC) is stays forever!!!!!

The end game for me si to accumulate as many BTC as possible. Altcoins are a means for me to get BTC. Purchase the altcoins and when they make a leep then sell to BTC. I'm looking forward to the day when Alts are not affected by BTC. Because as history shows us when BTC goes up many alts follow and when it drops almost all drop. BTC will last for ever but not all alts will. Choose your purchase carfully. I would suggest ARK, OMG,Shift and SNM. They might give you a pump thats higher then the one BTC will have in % and then you will have accumulated more BTC. Best of luck to you,

I consider Ether as the best option, but I also have Zcoin, VIA, STRATIS and some ethereum based tokens

I'd say Ethereum because it has had its own fork now and the price can be expected to rise. It is likely that a lot of altcoins will rise as people move money back out of bitcoin.

This can happen, yes. Bitcoin is in up and after a few time, like always, there will be hard fork for bitcoins and they will go down. But for now, as the bitcoins are so much high, the altcoins are not in good mode of prices. Reason is one and you know it, the reciprocal. So in upcoming days when bitcoins will be in dip, altcoin rises and that is the time for them to sell, keep them now.

Having observed the up and down in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, I will suggest that taking 50% of the portfolio into altcoin will be good as they are more cheaper and seriously undervalue as at this moment.

Remember to DYOR (Do Your Own Research)

altcoin that I will sell is pink later when the rate of altcoin is improved because now it is good to buy it and maybe fit hardfork no surprises that will appear so that the world of cryptocurrency become more popular

After the fork, I think most of the people will sell their bitcoin and come back to trading altcoins. In my opinion, the price of bitcoin will drop and altcoins will start to bounce back . I think the good ones to buy are Neo, Litecoin, Waves (it has dropped a lot).
I also bought some DeepOnion because the price has dropped a lot, it is the lowest price I have seen.

In my opinion good altcoin to buy after fork is ETH, WAVES   DASH, LTC,XMR and OMG. By choose these altcoin I think the risk will be lower than others because each has good in fundamental that cause the demand increase.

Still play safe, i choose ETH, maybe for altcoin bounce it will not rise so much, ETH has less risk than the other altcoins, if my prediction wrong it will only down a little

I choose both.It depends how you manage to handle those too.I am trying to have some altcoins for now.

This time before the hard ford, all the capital of the altcoin will be poured into the bitcoin leading to the altcoin will drop bottomless because people can get bitcoin gold after hard fork however with the traders this is the opportunity. They will buy the cheapest coin as possible because we do not know what the value of bitcoin gold is. Sure, after the bitcoin hard ford the bitcoin capital will go to altcoin to maintain the balance that leads to altcoin will increase dramatically. That's a few things I think about bitcoin and altcoin in this stage. If you want to be sure to change to usdt will be more secure for you

I think for investors who do not have enough money, investing in altcoin will be more profitable.
Because altcoins prices are still unstable, very fast up and very fast down and also invest in altcoins at higher risk.
I think a good altcoins to buy after bitcoin fork is stratis, neblio and definitely etherparty, you will not regret investing in etherparty!

They just want to transfer their profits to other altcoins, like they will be buying under valued altcoins or they will sold their btc to USDT because they will expect that the price of bitcoin on hardfork will dump, after it's dump, they will buy again bitcoin. So their profits is still there.

like this, you only have 100 $.
If you buy bitcoin with the money, it will only profit 1 or 2% unless you buy it when the price is 4000$ of course you will be very lucky if you buy altcoin suppose you buy monaco when the price 5 $ and hold up to 2 weeks then the price goes up to 10 $, you've gained 100% from 100 $ (20 monaco * 5 $) to 200 $ (20 monaco * 10 $)

Both are crypto currencies and altcoin is chasing bitcoin. Bitcoin is very popular as compared to altcoin. Bitcoin is more trusted currency as compared to altcoin and bitcoin is high value in comparison with altcoin. But beside all this both are crypto currencies and both ae profitable if we trade bitcoin or altcoin both are very profitable and used for payment of online purchases. If we want to survive in the crypto market we will be in touch with these two  currencies.

There is potential huge profit return in ALtcoins when compared to Bitcoin. It is easy for ALtcoin to do 2X but not for Bitcoin because that will make the price go over $10k. What BTC has that other coins don't have is the price stability

Yes.It's pure based on your potential. If you have more dollars so,you can brought bitcoin I am sure. But you are stucked with dollar means, just get into Altcoin. Because, Altcoin is best for the people having low dollars. And only in Altcoin, you will get high profit with low inversement.

I also think the same. Now, after the fork the 25th day is not a big splex violas, but then again bitcoin growth for B2X. But then the attention around the cue ball will settle down and will begin the era of altcoins

As far as we know most of the investors are all going to bitcoin this week as the hard fork day nears they are going for bitcoin to gain the equal amount of bitcoin gold riding the waves of the hard fork, but after the fork i will trade of course to the altcoins that have a biggest potential next to bitcoin like dash, monero, eth and many more. but this time lets ride the hard fork so that we can gain extra profit over 1 day without doing anything.

I will be interested in ether and neo. I read that it is possible to get free gas for trading ether of you hold neo so that would be a small bonus.

I will always take side with bitcoin probably. It’s true you can have some daily good profits via alt coins but if you are interested more in steady and safe growth you should go for bitcoin all the time.

For long term invest in top 20 marketcap coins.
For short term I would invest in TRST VTC ETP.

I'm sure I'm going with ethereum, IOTA, NVO. Don't know why but I'm feeling these coins are going to be success this time. There are many thing, ethereum as we know is top alt do people will get attracted to it after they go through fork. They have no option but to put money into ether when bitcoin will be dumping itself. Plus enthusiast like me will get investment done into iota and Nvo as potential coin of future. So much excitement and all is going to hike the prices for these trusted coins.

we've all seen more and more altcoins every day and bringing up a work and innovations that are not inferior to bitcoin but bitcoin still remains the best for everyone but it can get shifted if there's something new with a new concept that makes a lot of people interested

After the fork on October 25, the market will still be waiting for the next fork of bitcoin in November, so there is unlikely to be a significant revival in the trade of altcoyins. As always, in such cases, you need to adhere to known proven coins - ethereum, litecoin, monero, ripple and others. Investing in the little-known and variable demand altoquin can give a good result, if you are sure in this altcoin, or you can lose your money.

I am choosing to stay with my altcoin even with this preparation for bitcoin hardfork.
Most of my investment are still with eth.

The value of BTC will grow steadily over time and I personally think that if I kept the BTC I would keep for a long time and if the price fluctuates I will move to USDT to keep value. I don't use BTC to trade with the altcoin but I will dedicate a separate amount to do it

for my top coins is based on ethereum and ripple but not as much as the low altcoin I have.
playing with some low coins is quite beneficial for me because when bitcoins have hardfork they are not too impacted significantly.

Especially if we are buying it in this time, Due to the hardfork reason and the price of all altcoin coins gets hammered so hard. The previous history already repeated in the next some days later.
Bitcoin doesn't have the price stability.

It depends upon the situation. If the value of bitcoin fall down after the hardfork, its better if you trade Ethereum or Electroneum against the BTC. Since this two altcoin has a potential to have a good price in the market. If you put an investment here, you have a big chance to earn a bigger profit than the other altcoin. Especially electronuem, it is a trend now a days. And the platform of this coin was also good. And for etherium it is less risky than the other altcoin.

I wait for the bitcoin to finish the fork, if it is done, I want to trade doge, emc2, dgb, ethereum, STR, XRP. Because this coin can be seen. If you want 2-3x more profit, you can trade coin in BITTREX market . But wait for the bitcoin is stable and finish the fork.

Its true that most of the investors have dropped their altcoins and have bought bitcoins to get free access to BTG coins after hard fork just like bitcoin cash.After hard fork,definitely they would dump their BTG coins for whatever price available and i think that most of them would choose ETC to invest.I think that its the only altcoin performing well after bitcoin for a long time steadily.

This move would also continue if segwit 2x activation fails to get majority support leading to a split in the chain and leading to creation of another free coin in november.

ZEC, XRP and ETC the most interesting for invest today


https://forum.bits.media/index.php?/topic/55384-%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B7%D1%8B-%D0%BA%D1%83%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%B2-%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%82-%D0%B8-%D0%B0%D0%BA%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8-%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%85-%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%82/&do=findComment&comment=945077

Personally I don't think that there's an altcoin that can be against btc now and after the  hardfork and I've recently buy some btcs to get some btg.

the relation between bitcoin and altcoins seems a little confused to me, sometimes, bitcoin sucks blood from altcoin which lead to altcoins dumpling as bitcoin pumps, other times, it seems these two are indepedent

the ability of this two coin are opposite but nit totally because if there is something that dump on altcoin bitcoin are not affected but if there is something that might happen in bitcoin which is more likely hardfork there is some dumping happen in altcoin.

if the short-term investment I think is right is altcoin but if long-term investment is a suitable bitcoin so both have a good chance to become an investment choice

Yes you can make daily profits from altcoins if you have invested in right coin at a right time and bitcoin is always there to take care of your profits in long term and to earn more profits its good to go with both of them and not depend only on single one.

if you have low budget then altcoins

i think both serve difference purpose. Bitcoin has no company to begin while most Alts has a product and company.

Because iam still newbie in trading altcoin, i will choose some coin that has big volume and big marketcap and also solid team behind that coin, like : Ethereum, Waves, Dashcoin,Litecoin and Monero. I think by trade in these altcoin the risk lower than others. Just take some profit like 10%-15% and buy again in the deep.

I think hard ford one day is the best opportunity to invest in altcoin because now the value of bitcoin is high leading to altcoin very bottom and it is an opportunity for businessmen to buy coin at cheap price after The content of bitcoin altcoin will increase tremendously many people will earn words from it and bitcoin now who should sell what should sell the price of bitcoin through hard ford will be strongly discounted.

I will trade in altcoin whose price on deepest, because buying altcoin whose price is falling far, is likely to rise again about 10% -20%, as long as we are not greedy in take profit, I'm sure will get some profit. When taking profit 10%-20%, buy again on the deep with patient, i believe we will get consistenct profit. These some altcoin that i will buy after fork , like WAVES, ETH, DOGE, SNT and more.

Technically every single alt can make profit short and long term, like bitcoin some follow bitcoin in price other dont but with time and experience everyone can sometimes see signal that will be prime for someone to go for it. My pick are some stable one like some you mentioned and sometimes I pick some ICO with some small investment and test my skill and luck in same time.

I prefer both.For they have and will always have the value that anybody wants.But i will choose bitcoins for now i still do not know how to trade with different coins.

Yes, every altcoin has pump and dump. It's upto the user to keep track of the growth happening with time and make decisions accordingly. Another thing is the exchange availability for altcoins were limited whereas for bitcoin every exchange provides the access. With bitcoin as well altcoin profiting is assured, when the user himself makes the decision studying the market.

+1 for this

Bitcoin development is not clear and technologically slow progress. I think that Ethereum is getting more successful. The future could build together with Ethereum, Waves and Stratis.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1559630.msg23452698#msg23452698

despite bitcoin and altcoin seems like they rely on similar dynamics, they are pretty much different. if we talk average, btc make you earn more money in long term but there are some alt coins that can make you earn 100 times of your money in very short time.

I also think like you. Obviously this lag a great business opportunity. Buy Bitcoin at a low price before and close to the hardfork to sell it for a high price. And buy altcoins cheap before the time of hardfork or at the end of hardfork waiting for altcoin will rise again. Very high profit.

I prefer altcoins because Bitcoin is far way high now, but one can still get cheap altcoins which can go to moon. For me I prefer altcoins rather than investing in Bitcoin.

We cannot need to compared both bitcoin and altcoins, because both of this are profitable. It was depends only to us if how they we manage it, also I have no doubt that in the future this bitcoin and altcoins were stand on top. Moreover there's a possibility that paper money will vanish in any country and this savings of digital currencies are a good start.

I believe it will be important to buy tokens, behind which there is a technology or an innovative solution.
For me, these are the following tokens:
Iota, Waves, Stratis, Neo, 0x, OmiseGO, Qtum, Lisk, Ark, Kyber Network, Zen.
The list is bigger, but I give my personal preference to this.

Bitcoin will always be successful and superior to alt coins. But I think the likes of Waves, Eth and litecoin are going to be scuessful just not to the magnitude of Bitcoin

Most altcoins are created by pump-and-dump groups. What this means is that developers create a lot of hype for their coin and promise unique and interesting features. As people find out about these promises, they are more eager to buy coins at a low price, which in turn pushes the price upward. A few altcoins that have people who are actively working hard outside of pump-and-dump groups include Litecoin, CasinoCoin, and Guldencoin.

All cryptocurrencies exist on the brink of a foul. Even the most powerful of them bitcoin also does not inspire confidence. I think that all altcoins will eventually disappear or will merge with bitcoins. If bitcoin users will have not only financial but also ideological interests that bitcoin will not die. If everyone will use bitcoin for speculation that he is doomed.

You are right mate, except few altcoins, this group creates most of the coins, and they will make good money by cheating a normal people. Most of the altcoins are shitcoins people are confusing which coin to invest for a long time. I think Bitcoin is the best coin to invest for a long time investment.

The major issue in cryptocurrency ecosystem is the volatility of the market. I think it is more difficult to be feeling confident on the market movement.

So many times, TA, FA, sa and any other measure in the prediction of market movement seems not working in some cases.

It's much difficult to predict a direction for altcoin than bitcoin even when the TA, & FA are looking good or bad some altcoin will defy this and go the opposite.

Presently, am in HMQ, DGB, ETH & PDC

Bitcoin will always be superior to alt coins. After all all of the alt coins are based off Bitcoin and even use some of the code of Bitcoin.

For me and for the reality it is bitcoin,at first just think and look what is the gap of the value of bitcoin and other altcoins,it is very far and the advantages is on bitcoin.Bitcoin has done many things and achieved many achievments,people think that the ethereum or the best altcoin will be the next bitcoin,but I think it Weill take a long time to happen or rather it will not happen if the bitcoin will still exist.So for my conclusion Bitcoin is the best and the peoples choice.

I don't think it is ever fair to compare bitcoin to altcoin. First and foremost bitcoin can already be considered as the main foundation of cryptocurrency. It already has well established platform. Both has so much to offer and has great potential when it comes to gaining profit. Everything will just depend on how you handle your investment.

bitcoin is the standard the facto the best one you can't go wrong with it, altcoin are good to have more bitcoin, they fulfill their role pretty well lol, but i like to hold the best altcoin the oen that will never die like ETH

in 2009, bitcoin was the first cyptocurrency on the world, from that people usually use bitcoin as the main currency until now, however Altcoins was born after Bitcoin but they have many advantages than bitcoin, because they are created to replaced bitcoin in the future despite they quite weak now and bitcoin is extremely strong. so it will take time for altcoins to replace bitcoin in the future.

I will trade btc against ethereum! I am holding ehereum because slowly but surely ethereum at some point will overtake bitcoin and become the choice coin for any one coming to crypto! The development in ethereum is not slowing down while bitcoin is burden with controversies and fork! I particularly dislike the fork because it is bring bad PR!

i use both bitcoin and altcoins. i usually use altcoins when i am in campaign or invest in ICO projects that base on altcoins platform, and trade them for some bitcoin, and i use bitcoin whenver i want to invest in bitcoin to get high profit, and use bitcoins to buy tokens from iCO projects.

If you want to buy bitcoins or altcoins for the current market price, open in account in one of the many online exchanges. There are a lot more options now, since the industry is booming. Bitcoin mining was also one of the early options. But the current reality is that it's way harder to get your share with all the big players around. There's also the need to invest a considerable amount of money at first. Altcoin mining is more within reach for the average person.

I would like to have Ethereum on my portfolio other than bitcoin. Its development roadmap looks quite promising. Because of the use of smart contracts and decentralised applications Ether is an emergent yet malleable digital asset. Also it can cross the $1000 mark within the next year as it is the most prefered platform for posting ICOs. It already has proven track records of tested technical ability to handle programmatic crisis mid flight. I will hold onto it.

For me, there are many good altcoins and these days more are coming out, so the choice will vary from one person to another depending on what one is looking for, some who sold off their portfolio to take part in the fork will want to still do ICOs of some very good projects like IMMLA, Lockchain etc, while some will want to buy alts like ADEX, OMG, LISK, etc. one definitely has to research to find out what suits him.

Just keep on holding because the price can go up and as the price of bitcoin is starting to fall you may not know if it's going to pump again. But if you want an alt coin go with ETh this is always next to bitcoin as it's market cap is increasing so you won't go with it.

Who know? Maybe one day ethereum will gain more power and will become number 1 of all cryptocurrencies.
Actually there are pile of new projects on ethereum, so everything can happen.

I love alts and trading them, without altcoins the cryptoscene would be a lot more boring.

I will definitely trade my bitcoin on an altcoin which will make me profit whether short or long term. For short term I would trade against byteball, its been to highs like $800 and currently trading at around $180, or gnosis, similar story. For long term, ether, its a platform and a lot of tokens now are build on it, or even monero, litecoin.

There is no comparison between bitcoin and altcoins as bitcoin is base currency for trading in generally all exchanges and we can buy and sell any altcoin if we have btc in our account. Bitcoin always a market leader for crypto market. Some altcoins are also as good as btc such as dash, eth and monero.

I think ETH could well overtake BTC in cap, but BTC will always be the most important because of the history and as the parent of all other cryptocoins. But as for which coin to trade against BTC now, we might be better waiting for after segwit2x. Very difficult to predict before then.

Altcoins are like a mining company to me because the more alt you trade against btc the more btc you will get as a result. We all use alt to accumulate btc

Bitcoin and Altcoin have no match. Bitcoin is the Coin's creator and nobody can beat it. Bitcoin is a coin which is only going to be up. if it comes down then only for some time. Altcoin are hit like a lottery if hit becomes a life, if it comes down, do not know when to recover ur money. XRP, ETH and many top coins are change many people life and many dump coins loss all money of people. so my opinion bitcoin is best for bright future. buy bitcoin and hold for long time

As a small time investor, I am inclined to diversify my funds to make sure I'd still get something if worse comes to worst. So I'll probably invest on both but invest more in bitcoin since it is more established than altcoins.

depending on the situation that will occur. but it seems that bitcoin gold does not have a big impact after its launch. so I think at this moment some allcoin is on the way back up. and does not significantly affect the value of bitcoin.

Most of the people I know prefer investing in bitcoins rather than altcoins because of the advantages it provides for example you made a transaction in your bitcoin wallet then you will received an interest or additional money for it depends upon the transaction you have made. Although if you risk-less person you've prefer investing on alt coins.

I feel low budget is relative. However, it totally depends on each individual whether they prefer quantity or quality. So many crypto users always have the feelings that fraction sucks ;D and I really wont blame anyone feeling like that until they realize that the fraction that suck could end up meaning something later on.

Yes, there are some very new altcoins that have made some pretty big and good profit in the long term and can be good for investing with low budget but you still have to be careful cause with the wrong coin, that low budget can end up becoming no budget.

Like you said you have to be careful with altcoin some coin gives very good profit early but in long term the value get decreases.So choose a stable altcoin which gives good profit when long term investment but in my thought bitcoin is better than altcoin.Because the bitcoin value growth rate is very high than compared to altcoins.

I think altcoin and bitcoin are a little different. basically all altcoin will go back to on bitcoin. Well, people sometimes compare the price of bitcoin with altcoin. so i think bitcoin is still better than altcoin.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2320280.msg23560016#msg23560016

They have difference, there are some alt coins that does have the feature that we can't use and see on bitcoin. But many of us are preferring to invest in bitcoin because it is increasing and a lot of people are seeing it's potential so while it is still early many are chasing the chance of having it. It doesn't matter if you prefer alt coin go for it or if you prefer bitcoin focus with it, both are profitable.

Nothing to say about the comparison of the bitcoin price with altcoin because at this time you can see how many the market dominance for bitcoin in the crypto and that's an answer for you.

Actually very difficult to make conditions BTC degenerate although now many types of coins scattered because over time running will definitely make BTC more and more interested persons and also the influence of the price increase significantly in the period of a very short.

Actually it's good to have a portion of your portfolio to hedge against Bitcoin especially at this point of time because you will never know what might just goes wrong with the upcoming (highly likely) Segwitx2 hard fork with no replay protection.

yes i believe so. altcoin is good for people who are trying to enter the cryptocurrency world cause there is many coin that fit their budget. for me i still believing in altcoin and there will be a big development in the next year. indeed bitcoin are attract so many people to crypto world but they dont know so much about other great coin such as ETH, LTC , and Etc.

When bitcoin itself is giving you enough profit then why invest in other altcoins, but if i have to chose a coin from altcoins then my bet is on ETH, after bitcoin hardfork now it is time for ETH to roar in the market. But for more profit surely go and invest in bitcoin.

there are some promising Alt coins with solid background , but still bitcoin is bitcoin nobody can outpace bitcoin at the current moment. I have high hopes with IOTA though .

I do not think altcoin can match the price of bitcoin, it could rival the price but it does not quickly take a very long time because the bitcoin price is very expensive

In simple terms bitcoin is same as that we have USD or EURO. Altcoins were the other fiat currency of different countries that have certain value when calculated in terms of USD. This doesn't mean that USD is valuable and rest doesn't, everything has the potential to grow and grows accordingly.

we can't compare these two currencies because bitcoin is the strongest and high rated coin in history of crypto while altcoin has large number of coins in which some of coins like etherum and waves are good coin but they have not have such a level that we can compare it to bitcoin. by the way etherum is the best coin in altcoin and will have brigh future because people are taking interest now mostly in etherum also.

I agree with you, let bitcoin be the same as USD which is the main money from all over the world, if usd price goes down, it will affect currency in other country. so altcoin will not be able to match bitcoin, since altcoin is not a bitcoin competitor, altcoin is a bitcoin support tool

From seeing the fallout that occurs to all altcoins, i think this is exactly effect of very strong bitcoin values. And yes, Eth is one of altcoins that have the power to come racing soon.

Altcoins itself is a group of coins so what particular coin are you preferring too? Bitcoins on the other hand was considered are the most successful investment in this period of time and it has bwwn said by the mainstream news so a lot of people are gonna kmow it so it is much reliable than altcoins and besides the image of altcoins had been ruined because of those plenty shitcoins and scams that people always encounter that is why they have trust issues om altcoins rather than bitcoins. So for me bitcoins is the most reliable and altcoins on the other hand have omly few reliable coins like ethereum and waves.

I think you are miss understanding mate if USD price drops it will not effect on other country currencies. The currency value depends on the country economy. So whenever you see USD price drops, this means your country economy is increasing, and it will show that your country is growing. Like that now Bitcoin is in leading position but we can not say that in future also no other coin will give competition to BTC. Maybe some coins will grow fast and give competition it is possible.

i am agree that you said bitcoin is the strongest coin in crypto currency and this is why many people is using bitcoin for their purpose. we know that bitcon is also as the king in crypto currency and if bitcoin price increase, there are many altcoin will fallen and ethereum have the power to gets increase although the ethereum will be down in a moment. but i think there will be many other altcoin that will trying to gets survive in the bitcoin increasing the price and i think that coins can choose to help us to make profit.

Bitcoin is currently the main currency and can affect the movement Altcoin. But I'm not sure that bitcoin can survive as the main currency constantly. There may be a bit of a nuisance and we can see that another Altcoin will grow up and pose a threat. like the current world currencies, USD will not always be a benchmark because in the next few years if any country becomes more advanced than USA then I am sure their currency will also become a benchmark. this is a matter of how to keep bitcoin in order to remain the only digital currency that has the largest market share from now until later. one way is to continue using bitcoin every day and if possible there should be application of bitcoin usage in conducting transactions every day.

Honestly, for someone who have good funds to diversify, I do not see any reason why they should not. They all serve different purposes and looking at last year to this year, they have all had some pretty good increase in their value, so it is good buying some of them and holding for a long term. Having multiple currencies included with your bitcoin is not a crime as long as they are not shit coins.

As a matter of principle and in the spirit of all the things that bitcoin stand for; I do not trade btc! Only hold and 10 years time, I am still holding! I trade ethereum everytime with quality and I repeat quality altcoin and tokens!

Bitcoin Vs Altcoin When we compare, we see many people invest bitcoin.but people trade with altcoin to bitcoin and bitcoin to altcoin.

coin alternatives are not inferior to bitcoin and both have the same aspect to be used as an investment only for alternative coin must determine which coin is suitable or appropriate to invest so as not to lose

I think most people will sell Bitcoin and BTC gold to buy altcoins. Only big investors prefer to store bitcoin. Small investors are interested in altcoins. These can help them receive profit.  ;D

No experts in the field of cryptocurrencies providing specific guarantees for stabilizing the exchange price of a certain token or reducing the existing risks.
There is the only way to make investments in different currencies (eth, monero, waves, etc). Maybe I am so conservative, but I prefer stability even in area of digital money.

in my opinion bitcoin is the main dominator to altcoin as it is the "mother" and whatever happens to btc effects altcoins directly.

Anyway, I see some alt coming up and some may surprise the crypto community but not to an extent of surpassing bitcoin. If Ethereum could do as much as it does this year and continue the uptrend in 2018.

On the other hand, I believe most trader/investors trade altcoin against bitcoin to accumulate more bitcoin.

bitcoin and altcoins like farmers and their fields will need each other and there is no competition in both so if we have both it would be better and get a big profit

Bitcoin is the most expensive and successfull crypto currency for now.
But if you compare technical capabilities its not all that amazing. There are probably all around better altcoins for now. From a technical perspective. The problem is that cryptocurrency is a relatively new thing and this is a rapidly evolving environment. I guess we will have to wait for a decade before altcoin market will hit some sort of complexity cap and newer and better altcoins will stop popping up one after another.

Then for another several years information will settle and it will be possible to see which altcoins are the best and they will consume the market share of inferior ones.

For now the blockbubble is just starting to inflate. It's impossible to predict what will emerge after it bursts and the dust will settle. Just as it was impossible to predict which models of business are viable in the internet at the beginning of dotcom crisis.

Bitcoin could ends this year at 10k/BTC or more. Alt will be good buy for now for the holders and long-term for at least x5 or more in 2018.

I think we will see 10k this year indeed. And alts will see new all time high's, but only the good alts.. ;)

There's still ample time to see bitcoin at $10,000 for this year. And we will have an assumption when CME starts to offer bitcoin futures. With the increase of bitcoin, the most affected ones are the altcoins. The market will be on opposite way with by balancing it that way. Investments from altcoins will go to bitcoin as these holders still see a good opportunity in bitcoin while bitcoin profit takers will take the advantage of buying these altcoins while it is on opposite chart with bitcoin.

Bitcoin dominant will continue definitely but altcoins are like btc mining companies because when ever you invest in any good altcoin it will gives you more BTC.
Sincerely, I love Altcoins for this aspect.

Alt are very undervalue now, DYOR (do your own research) and buy some alt now then wait for x5 or more in the next 3month or more.

Bitcoin is like a slow path to gain profits but a secure one. It's prices may fall many times, but the recovery is done real soon and really well. It is astonishing to see bitcoins graph, the graph is somewhat like the heartbeats graph we get on ECG.  :) so it is always a wise desicion and invest in bitcoin.
Whereas altcoins, they do give fast profits if you're really active and always updated about the market, day trading might gain you some profit real quick, but still it's too risky. As some altcoins may be just scam, some might die after they come in the market or some other major reasons.
So if you're a day trader, altcoins might be good for you for gaining profits. But bitcoin is always a better option for everyone at anytime! ;)

Good point and that is why DYOR is necessary and of high important in going for alt. If DYOR is properly done then you can order for your Lambooooooo 😂

although bitcoin price is increase this year, some of altcoin is not affected too much and the altcoin still trying to survive. i see in bittrex, there is many altcoin trying to increase no matter how much bitcoin price is increase and we can trying to make profit from this. but if we want to be as holders then the best we can do is trying to hold the altcoin for a long term and we don't want to sell if the price is not increase higher. but i don't think that bitcoin could ends at $10,000 because bitcoin price can increase so high without any one can predicting.

I think both serve difference purpose. Bitcoin has no company to begin while most Alts has a product and company.

The hard fork has stopped. And now, many investors are still believing Bitcoin and invest in it. The price has reached $8300 and it continues to go up in the future.

I think the best choice to invest is bitcoin, as always. It is the most reliable and most profitable coin. I hope to see some altcoins's prices better in the future, but in my opinion bitcoin is the best.

Bitcoin is the big Brand and having very attractive attraction of investors and other peoples also almost all world knows well about bitcoin and the Bitcoin is king on front of other altcoins,
Altcoins are good for traders and all world is not good aware of All altcoins but altcoin have good future and good value in crypto currency markets.

Without any doubt, Bitcoin is always best choice to invest but altcoin also form an important part of the ecosystem. Altcoin are integrated in the system with new functions and for different atmosphere due to which people often find reasons to invest in altcoin, further altcoin possess to be more profitable as the coin price is very less as compared to Bitcoin which is roving above 8k USD now.
So, from the point of investment Bitcoin is definitely considered smooth and profitable but the scope and radius is getting compact each day with the rising price. In such scenario, wise investment in the profitable coins can prove better investment approach.
                                                                             

I prefer to  invest half  of the money to  invest in Bitcoin. I use  the  remaining  money  to buy  altcoin. I  think,  altcoin market has more advantages than Bitcoin for trade.

Come up with comparative analysis of the returns that you would get if you invested purely in bitcoin and alternative coins so as to paint a clearer picture of the profit potential going forward. Let's kick it off with a hypothetical situation. If you want to buy bitcoins or altcoins for the current market price, open an account in one of the online exchanges. There are a lot more options now since the industry is booming.

I don't think both bitcoin and altcoin can rise at the same time. If Bitcoin is going to reach 10k per BTC by this year end, then altcoin wont be rising, rather they will be decreasing more. Well still there is nothing to worry about as alt will still rise someday.

I agree, BTC is certainly up and many alts are beginning to move now.

Are you watching the bitcoin and altcoin price movement in any price index site. I am following from the segwit2x time value started bumping in bitcoin when the ethereum and other top altcoin bumps in the chart.
Altcoin value is not that surprised vto investors because bump or dump it will change the very few affect in the value.

Why can't they have a mutual growth. It's all about the market and the speculation. Both bitcoin and altcoins were speculative in nature. Each gives hard competence and the same will serve as the driving force for bitcoin as well altcoins. I truly accept the final sentence, nothing to worry when something goes low surely it grows again. Our responsibility is to keep hold if it with patience.

Bitcoin is growing at a scary pace, almost without drops.

While I'd agree that both btc and alts grow together for now, all currencies ultimately compete in the same space. The time for adjustment is bound to happen eventually.

As bitcoin rises, altcoins can not rise. because the investment goes to bitcoine.

Personally, I choose Bitcoin because I think it's a more coin. I'm a supporter of the altcoins but until then Bitcoin wins and I do not like to risk too much. Just invest a little and multiply your fortune.

In my opinion, investing in bitcoin have a big possibility to bring good profits in the near future. I think, despite fluctuations, it seems like it will continue to rise.

There are a few courses in which Bitcoin could pass on disastrously. The first would be a specialized blemish (for instance, a bug that would enable somebody to take coins). The second would be a financial imperfection (for instance, a code change that would quickly give 10 million coins to some element for reasons unknown). The third would be an agreement blemish (for instance, Bitcoin parts into two generally even coins).

A specialized blemish would be something like a defenselessness in the cryptography utilized by Bitcoin or some security weakness in the agreement code that could be misused. A cryptographic helplessness, (for example, an astute assault against the specific circular bend utilized as a part of Bitcoin) would normally reach out to a ton of different coins the same number of utilization the same identical crypto libraries. A security weakness would again normally stretch out to a considerable measure of different coins the same number of utilization a ton of a similar code.

No doubt about it that bitcoin is relatively safe than altcoin for now but as a crypto trader one have to buy alt to accumulate more bitcoin after a thorough DYOR (do your own research)

One day every ALT coin will become a side chain to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the Borg. Resistance is futile.

Bitcoin is much better than Ethereum because Bitcoin is more reliable.

according to information on various forums many people are still waiting for this condition and keep their altcoins not to be traded while waiting for more certain conditions

I can't get it what's the connection of altcoins being like bitcoin mining companies? What's the relation of it? Can you have time to tell me what does it really means? If you are referring to the bitcoin profit that altcoin trading will result, actually it depends on the trader. Sometimes you can do ETH/altcoins and besides, don't invest to those cloud mining, they are mostly going to scam people.

Many People interested to invest on bit coins and the same time alt coins. and bitcoin give more profit compare to alt coins. Bitcoin is great demand so try once invest in bitcoin. Both is part Blockchain with popular media, the prototypical system used to explain blockchain  is the bitcoin network.

Bitcoin price always increase sometimes the price going down but we see that the price higher too much than the price decrease .

I simply means the profit one will get from trading altcoin against bitcoin. Example: Assuming you have 0.08BTC and you decided to Buy XDN/BTC at 0.00000010/BTC = 800000XDN then sell at 0.00000200/BTC = 1.6BTC.

Capital.       =       0.08000000
Total Sales =       1.60000000
Profit.          =       1.52000000

I got it but what's the relation of mining to trading? They are different places to invest in crypto. You are only explaining the thing with trading, this is what I understand so after getting profit with mining you'll convert that profit into trading by buying alt coins?

The possibilities are huge and while with bitcoin, you cannot really miss those good profits. Most altcoins only get pumped and do not really get sustained as the fall back within few days and take a longer time to get back on track which is one thing we may not really see much in bitcoin and even if bitcoin is going down, alts are falling badly for it and the same thing happens when bitcoin is going back up. The only time we get to see alt doing well is when bitcoin gets stable for a while.

As all cryptocurrencies, bitcoin has a fluctuate price situation too. But if we chech the charts, it is obvious that, bitcoin is the most reliable coin so far.

I'm trying to say that trading altcoin against bitcoin usually result in accumulation of more bitcoin if your DYOR is properly done. So, the profit from trading altcoin against bitcoin makes it look like mining from my own perspective.

I have never invest in mining farm or company and I don't think will ever do.

I believe in Bitcoin more than any other coin on the market (Ethereum is a tough competitor).
Being the alpha, its gonna be hard to take it's place- but not impossible. The hype around BTC Cash that started a couple weeks ago had people on their toes, but I don't think they came that close to taking over. I believe in BTC as it hasn't let me down yet, unlike other altcoins!

its all matter of affordability and buying power,if you afford to invest in bitcoin is the good decision and other hand many options in Altcoins  and don't depend and bound yourself on one coin,must diversify the investment and hold for long that can maximize the profit.The altcoins are cheaper and can buy in quantity and if price goes results high quantity high profit.

It's an eternal challenge Bitcoin against altcoins - I think in the end altcoins will prevale. But it may still take years before that moment.

in the next year will be a lot hard fork then from that I sell all my altcoin and I exchange to Bitcoin to get free coins.

All altcoins have been suffering a lot the past week... When bitcoin jumps up, they jump as well but in a lower percentage... And when Bitcoin corrects down, they come down as well but in a higher percentage. The market is completely relying on Bitcoin's price swings and alts are always lagging behind (this might change in the very near future once the volatility caused by the 11k surge calms down).

Oh this is a tough question -- I think ALT coins are better than BTC - because BTC is so expensive right now and all the people who hold it and a lot of it are people who started when it was worth nothing.

Bitcoin is not against altcoins, these are two different things and alts are not alts, there are so many different so they can be together but the whole markets are crazy in crypto

I naturally sway away from BTC and focus on alts - purely for the business case perspective. What can be implemented on some alt coins technology from Smart Contract perspectives (ETH, ADA etc) I believe will change businesses globally, as the potential to make processes more efficient, streamlined and risk free via these more complex smart contracts is undeniable. This is why I naturally lend towards investing in Alts (specifically those capable of complex smart contract development).

There's also the other key perspective, which is anonymity - there is a very exciting alt market now (see deep onion) who are harnessing the potential of fully anonynmous transactions on the blockchain; and the business use case for these coins is tremendous. These are the other Alt opportunties that personally have caught my eye a great deal

Both the Ether vs Bitcoin will have a good currency, both of which are expanding rapidly in the market. Both
bitcoin and ether have become complementary to each other. The attention of both the mediators is
attracting more attention. Both  it is time saving easy way to earn profit.

Maybe there were a times that alternative coins are better into bitcoin but there were instances that bitcoin are more better than altcoins. It was really happen because both of this coin have their own differences. Both of this have own strength and weakness so I think it's better to hold both of this coin.

Bitcoin is better than altcoin because their is much large gap between altcoin or any altcoins to bitcoin, btc has a very large amount ans value, btc has many sponsors, investors and users, while altcoin has many kinds but it is not enough to be at the status of bitcoin, thats why it has a very big gap.

I think the first choose altcoin to trade after BTC fork is ethereum, its my favorite altcoin.  ;D ;D

Bitcoin always better than alternative coin, it is much safer to invest and 100% you will gain profit in short or long term investment. Also bitcoin can used as cash to purchase your needs and wants which is altcoin can not. Altcoin is only good for trading but it depends on the altcoin there are some coin are scam that is why we need to choose the best coin that will gives good profit to us.

I'm not sure if any alt can topple BTC as the "main coin" but they are defintely profitable and have many different features besides just regular old Bitcoin. That said, altcoins are still underground and will stay that way for a long time, as only BTC is mainstream atm.

If that is the case i will still choose bitcoin because it iwll never lose the battle of being the most trusted one and the mose reliable one in the sense of allowing your time and effort to be counted.

Bitcoin is main-currency, but ETH now is base-platform for another projects.

We are waiting for Universa and Dealbox platform. they have strong teams too!

Although Bitcoin is the most expensive cryptocurrency, in most cases it is much more profitable to trade with altcoins. And here the best choice is to keep in your wallet at least 8-10 alts to make operations with all of them when the right time for each one comes. This is my opinion.

i thnk bitcoin is the best compare to other altcoin.bitcoin price  is increased very fast and it has a lot demand and market value to this world.i prefer bitcoin than any other altcoin and i am holding bitcoin to get profit.

It is really safe and one can really be at rest when holding bitcoin compared to any altcoins.
Yes, for trading purposes sometimes, some alts have really done well for profit purpose and I really do not see why trading some of them when the chart activities give them up to load up some profit for whoever is able to get in fast.

Alts days are here though until we start seeing another bull run but we are already into the days of bitcoins hence why we need to wait for something which may be not come into action forever too ?

From what we know,
bitcoin is a crypto coin that many people want, but not everyone can easily collect bitcoin,
so many people collect altcoin and exchange it with bitcoin.

I think we don't need any "VS", should be bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies (altcoin).  Both will serve their own purposes.

When the planned fork bit plugs are being implemented, I do not think that you will immediately need to switch to altcoyins and invest in them. In any case, the first top ten Altokemon capitalization is always attractive for investment. This applies to ethereum, ripple, minero, litecoin, new and others. But about the recently separated from the original bitcoin - bitcoin cash, bitkoyn gold and bitkoyun diamond, it is still early advise. In any case, I would invest part of the money in bitcoin cash.

BTC is currently the leader in crypto world but altcoin can make you rich easier now :)

I agree with the opinion that Bitcoin and Altcoin should not be compared, so each occupies its own niche in the crypto currency market. And at the moment it is difficult to imagine a world of crypto-currencies without these components.

They are constantly compared. But I think that this is not correct. Now the price of bitcoin is growing, so everyone sells alternative coins and buys bitcoins. But when the price of bitcoin falls, everyone will again return to the altcoin

Personally, im late af to BTC but I managed to time the near EXACT bottom in the alts I'm holding right now.

Have seen some nice mini pumps the last week or so, I expect a lot of liquidity moving from BTC into alts very soon..

When BTC starts to correct there's going to be a ton of funds that needs to be parked somewhere the IRS still have difficulty getting at it ;)

Right now, Bitcoin is more profitable that is why investors are after it. But after the hard fork a lot of investors will be attracted towards other altcoins like Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple and Neo.

I think bitcoins better than altcoin because bitcoin are trusted cryptocurrency he always at the top and price are increasing. But altcoin also help us to trade and exchange it to bitcoin.

I will choose the top 10 altcoins. Some of these are the iota, litecoin, etc. These coins has the potential to increase their price because of the pumping.

As long as bitcoin is still around in the cryptoworld, nothing can stop could ever take its place being the alpha of the cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin's market capitalization alone is so huge that even the total market cap of ethereum down to the top 20 alternate coins could not even match bitcoin's market capital at 317,221,633,714.

I think for now, we will see more new altcoin better than bitcoin, we can say new altcoin is revolution like ethereum, zcash, monero etc. but bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency concept, the first blockchain technology. so bitcoin will be still number one in marketcap or price. the demand of bitcoin is the main reason why so popular and price rising every day.

doge , i pick you  8)

As you can see, altcoins has grown very much recently. You can research and choose some of them to trade or invest. My advice for you is Ripple, Litecoin, IOTA, and Siacoin.

According to my experince with crypto if you want to do trading then you need to involve your money in both bitcoin and some altcoins like ethereum. These two are the best coins in the world in crypto so you can make enough profit by doing trading with them as the rate of these coins are increasing with a fast rate and in future anyone can get enough profit by selling these coins.

I could say with all my experience that if you want to trade, you need to invest your money in both bitcoin and some altcoins such as ethereum. These two are the best coins in the world in cryptography, so you can earn enough profit by trading with them, since they grow fast, and in the future everyone can get a sufficient profit by selling these coins.

If your capital is low, then go with altcoin first. Then when the price raise for the Invested altcoin convert to Bitcoin. Hold that bitcoin and convert it to Dollars.

i have bitcoin and altcoin therfor id choose them both. i use bitcoin as an investment in order for me to earn passive income while i use my altcoin as for trading to earn active income.  also both of them has advantage and disadvantage because bitcoin tends to be more profitable while verry unstable at the same time but altcoins are less profitable although it is verry stable that is why i most prefer alts especially on trading because they dont take much supervision in order to track their market value.

Bitcoin and altcoins is both good to invest for, but i think bitcoin is we will always be on top over than altcoins, bitcoin is very great to invest for because this is the best cryptocurrency and bitcoin price is totally the best because it is increasing very fast and holding bitcoin is more nice rather than holding altcoins, because holding bitcoin can make us rich in the future.

for 2 years altcoins only https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1559630.msg26587745#msg26587745

i only hold eth so i must sell eth

I do not think there will be alt-coins that can fight bitcoin but we can collect alt-coin that much to make bitcoin

Presently, transfer fee could cause a lot of problem for btc in 2018 but if some measures are taking as matter of urgency to cool this, If not BCH, ETH, DGB will be considered and this will give them more acceptance in 2018

it is difficult to compare between bitcoin and altcoin, because of the considerable price difference so it is not possible to compare between bitcoin and altcoin

Agreed, but do you believe that high transaction fee can caught an upset for bitcoin?

If you have enough time spending on computer, then go with altcoin and trade. If not, BTC investment is more convenient.

Correct! It's not always wise to invest all your money in a coin

Bitcoin is the historical cryptocurrency and the leader of them all, which means, even if it's clearly not the best one technically speaking, it'll lead the way for many years still...

But on the very very long term, I don't see it maintaining this leadership, because in some decades, almost all companies will be using blockchains technologies, and it's very sure that some of them will be the google of today.
There are plenty of good challenger right now, and Bitcoin is clearly a shitcoin technologically speaking.
With 7 transactions per second it can't handle millions of user, and is not ready for massive usage. It's not anonymous, so there is no privacy.
It's expensive in term of energy, it's slow, and it has no goal or has no services attached, it's just a currency.

True, altcoin trading require more skills than bitcoin

Although altcoin make me more profit than bitcoin, but at this time, before bitcoin hardfork on 28/12, i will exchange all my altcoins to bitcoin for receiving new coin as well as ensure the safety of my fund. I see that money flow are flowing to bitcoin now

This are the battle bitcoin will unavoidably need to fight in the years to come. Fingers cross

Another strategy to accrued more money. I think btc hardfork is becoming a reward for bitcoin holders

I would rather have bitcoins than altcoins, so I think people should already be dumping their Altcoins like DOGE which has been ridiculous that has been rising up for no reason. I do think it is not wise to hold these coins anymore as bitcoins are about to rise back to $20,000 before the year ends and likely DOGE will just dump.

it seems my choice if faced with altcoin is ethereum will have a good asset value.

This is also my mindset, I would love to have many bitcoins that to have a lot of altcoins. I know that there is also fortune in alt coins but I just love the way bitcoin is growing, there are also some good altcoins that are following the path of bitcoin and one of it is ETHEREUM. It has grown a lot for the past year as last year its price is only 2 digits but now it's already $700 and that increase was really quick.

My choose these altcoins I think the risk will lower than other because each has good in fundamental that cause the demand increase and bitcoin is a good crypto.

what is altcoin ?

Bitcoin is for your safety investment,alts are for short trades they are both needed if you are a full time trader.

they are also inter-related in world trade market and also had an influence in the development of competitive value for the price. but if I was told to have between bitcoin vs. altcoin then I will choose its value because the price is already bitcoin the highest of the other altcoin as well as a stash for the future the best
 

bitcoin and altcoin may depend on the profits you will get if you are much more focus on altcoin you can get much more profit and in bitcoin the more you hold the bigger it gets and I prefer altcoin because you can get a lot from it

i would go for altcoin because in the altcoin you can gather a lot of profits from it buy holding it a little bit more and maybe you can sell if you already feel it but the choice is yours

BTC is the king, it is the first crypto and the strongest. Alot of altcoins will come and go but a hand full will stay and rise alongside BTC. That is my opinions. A lot of goos alts at the moment, ETH and Ripple just to name two.

Alcoins are any other cryptocurrency apart from bitcoin. Example are: DGB, ETH, BCH, DASH and so on

Alt trading require more concentration, skill, information, and is not for a lazy trader.

You can gain more in altcoins in terms of percent high in price. But that is not the reason to tell that it is better than bitcoin. Bitcoin will still be at best as it is the basic coin in trading.

In my own opinion altcoin can not be better than bitcoin. All altcoins are subject to bitcoin pricing. And usually bitcoins speculation, not altcoin. Altcoins just behind the BTC on the exchange rate. At present, the trend of investing in altcoins is higher than that of Bitcoin but the exchange rate of BTC is still at the highest level in the market

Bitcoin Hard Ford the bitcoin Capital will go to Altcoin to Maintain the balance that leads to Lltcoin will increase dramatically. Bitcoin is More trusted Currency as Compared to altcoin and bitcoin is high value in Comparison with altcoin. Many top coins are Change many people life and Many dump Coins loss All money of people. So i See that Money flow are Flowing to Bitcoin now.

When talking about the one which is safe, I will go for bitcoin and never like to choose an altcoin in my life. Altcoins are just there to make us rich for some short period of time. Some even die off after a quick boom but bitcoin never gets to such low prices even though people complain that the price is too low. Bitcoin will always rule the crypto-world.

btc is the choice almost for everyone to make the investment more safe. They still buy in some other alts to make some short time investment to make some profit to make them go through the hard time at present.

The btc dominance show us that the number prove it this investment are little bit more safe than the altcoin. Altcoin still need time to prove how it is use for daily life, & at this moment are not quite good time for altcoin season. For me it is just like unfair to make comparisons between btc & altcoin, cause btc has so many trading pair. Almost all altcoin are paired into btc on exchanges market.

actually, if we can choose altcoin that is in the top fifty, we have a big chance to make a big profit as long as we know the good time to buy and sell. that altcoin will have a time to up and down so I think there must be a gap of price between the up and down of the price that we can use to buy the coin and then sell the coin. but this will not easy to do as we know, we still need to analyze the coin to find the profitable coin and if we can get much of bitcoin, then we can sell the bitcoin when the price can increase.

Maybe u can go to this website have a look
https://gcox.com/

they launching their new coin name ACM from GCOX, as i know manny pacquiao, michael owen and jason derulo invest into it too  8)
they doing 1st ITS now, price quite reasonable, can invest and wait see whether we can earn double or triple  ... lol  ;D

There are wide range of altcoins to trade, particularly I trade the unpopular ones, I made about 20% profit on ICN on a single trade

 Btc is the king but altcoins will make the most profits,I have once

bitcoin is goor but i do not think that it is the best cryproxurrenxy on the mrket? it has some very strong competitorss

of course it is the king? i mean that tnere are others good cryproxurrency not only bitcoin we shpuld pay uour attention at

Bitcoin is the most used cryptocurrency as money, but its rivals are more usable. Bitcoin will be usable at an appreciably large scale, and that one of its rivals won’t overtake it at a certain point as the most functional cryptocurrency. There’s also the need to invest a considerable amount of money at first. Altcoin mining is more within reach for the average person. Bitcoin always kept its dominance in total market capitalization over altcoins in past years, ranging from stunning 95% to a bottom low of 37%. altcoin is an alternative to bitcoin.

The market is currently red and difficult, the dominance of bitcoin is currently too strong, reaching more than 54%, in my opinion this makes the competition of altcoins very tight, even though 1800 altcoins are available but this is more profitable for bitcoin to continue to dominate.

Bitcoin is one of the strongest currencies for today. It has the strongest position, which gives it an advantage in retaining a significant market share.

Bitcoin is always good investment. But For multiple time profit it is good to invest in altcoin. Like ICO coins or coins
Newly Listed in CMC top 100.

I consider every option portage one day is the best chance to put resources into altcoin in light of the fact that now the estimation of bitcoin is high prompting altcoin extremely base and it is an open door for representatives to purchase coin at modest cost after The substance of bitcoin altcoin will increment massively numerous individuals will procure words from it and bitcoin now who should offer what should offer the cost of bitcoin through hard passage will be emphatically reduced.

i don;t understand why many people compare this two. we know that the bitcoin is more valuable than the alternative coin. we know that the bitcoin is the main foundation of this cryptocurrency industry and the alternative coin are just an other coin that help in the bitcoin. but also, the alternative coin are important to help the bitcoin to be not shortage.

I think most alts that claim or aim to replace bitcoin are doomed to fail. I would make an exception for privacy coins like monero or zcash that do have a real reason to exist, but arguably only until bitcoin gains greater anonymity. All those zero fees coins and all the forks, ignore them.

All altcoins, especially the centralized ones like Bcash, are essentially worthless in that Bitcoin already (or soon will) performs the function they were designed to do.

When the seas get choppy, everybody runs back to the king for safety.

Bitcoin. There is no substitute.

You probably shouldn't be 100% into a single coin. Bitcoin is great, but you probably want to diversify into some other coins as well to be safe. We don't know the future.

Find an allocation that represents your risk tolerance and understanding of cryptos. I know Bitcoin inside and out, so I allocate my position accordingly. I'm about 80% in BTC, 10% ETH, 5% LTC and the rest in various altcoins. I'm also not holding a fortune. I put in less than $20 per month on average over the last 2 years, so I'm not crypto-wealthy, or even crypto-middleclass. I'm crypto-poor!

But I do understand how to allocate positions related to risk. I also invest in more traditional accounts because I see them as a more safe approach

Get one BitCoin (BTC), wait for the bulls. When the BTC bulls run, all the ALTs will drop, then buy some fav ALTs you think will run after BTC finishes its head start -- thereby diversifying your portfolio. With that said, long term wise aka HODL it is overall best to go with BTC as it is slow but steady in its overall rise in price. Plus, BTC is the only proven resilient cryptocurrency to date no other has yet to truly prove itself from all attacks

It is about risk management. Bitcoin moves relatively slow compared to altcoins. You can lose or make money out of altcoins faster than bitcoin. I suggest creating a balanced portfolio. %30 in alts %40 in btc and %30 in fiat. So you can benefit from crashes.

In bitcoin it is good to keep your savings for a long time. On altcoins the easiest way is to earn money. This is what makes crypto-currencies so interesting.

Far not always on altcoins it turns out to earn more than on bitcoin. It often happens that you lose more than you earn, especially from inexperience. It seems to me that there is no competition between Bitcoin and the altcoins. They can be used for different purposes within the same cryptocurrency ecosystem. For example, Bitcoin is the most reliable cryptocurrency among all. It can be used as an analog of gold. So do not try to use it to buy a cup of coffee. But altcoins can be used as a fast means of payment for microtransactions. True, their number is too large and all of them can't be introduced into the real sector of the economy, so only the best will remain!

I think we can't compare these two currencies because Bitcoin is the strongest and high rated coin in history of crypto.

The best answer for this question always be Bitcoin.  :D

I have observed that Both Bitcoin and the Altcoins tend to move in the same direction at the same time the only differences are that the moves of the altcoins tend to be much larger than those of Bitcoin. So when the market is dropping you should either be in Bitcoin if it is held in your own wallet or if on an exchange even switch to FIAT or USDT. In a rising market it is better to be in altcoins as the gain will be much greater.

If I choose Altcoins it depends on the Altcoins event or not.
If the Altcoins have events for the future, such as AMA, Airdrop, SWAP etc., then I will buy the Altcoins.

I myself of course will support both. because with have both, then we will more often benefit when trading. And as a true trader then we are required to have both.

I think it is true, as a trader or being an investor, we should be able to have both, but in investing in altcoins, we must really be able to choose altcoins that are really good, and the altcoins must have hope to grow in the future. , so we don't just buy altcoins if we want to make a big profit.

Most of this altcoins were registered on CMC has great potential and market capitalisation.

Would go for altcoin because in the altcoin you can gather a lot of profits from it buy holding it a little bit more and maybe you can sell if you already feel it but the choice is yours

These two coins are coins that have many benefits, so I support both. Every bitcoin movement and speed always affects the altcoin, so both are inseparable and bitcoin remains the core of the crypto currency.

The next bitcoin fork is in few years from now.  We all know bitcoin fork reduces the supply and increase demand in the market.  I think is more valuable than any altcoin and I will personally not exchange my bitcoin with altcoin!

I agree with this conclusion! Since Altcoins can do X10, but then just lose everything. Therefore, the portfolio must be balanced! I like your distribution. I think this is a good portfolio balance scheme.

True, looking for a best investment for a long time BTC is one on the list.
doing an easy money in short time will comes the ALTS, you must choose a great one coz you might loose amount in just a short time also.
cryptocurrency is good to have as long as you know every corners.
