I personally believe this is a great time to buy good alt coins. Price is way down as market has shifted to buying BTC. Some more than 50%.



What percentage of your crypto is in alts vs BTC ?

Yes, it's low and when it's low it's a buy. Just watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0akBdQa55b4

I'm 60% alts

If I had fresh Fiat and BTC to play with, then yes haha, but hodling my long term positions and also getting daily payouts still I don't want to touch atm :)

i think buying neo right now is a great idea.
seems like almost anybody i see on bct says the same thing.
that does kind of make me nervous.
when everyone thinks it is going to happen perhaps it wont?
i'll probably buy more anyways and hold on.

Absolutely, now is the time to buy alt coins. ETH, LTC, XMR, NEO, these are the ones that I'd recommend to anyone who wants to invest in some alt coins.
I'm positive that they are going to recover and will have a surge in the price. I'm not saying we're going to a see sudden increase, but i believe the investment will pay off in the long term.

10% BTC 90% altcoin,
because i believe a few altcoins will increase its value soon,,

The prices of altcoins have been cashing for months in a way this is not surprising since altcoins were very expensive with many reaching all time highs, but with the price this cheap I think this is a good opportunity to buy altcoins, the only issue is that I think bitcoin still has some room for growth so you can hold your bitcoin for a while wait for the all time high and then buy all the altcoins that you can.

I hold a lot of bitcoin and i will try to put over 50% of my bitcoin into the altcoin at the time of the bitcoin hardfork, that means the more dip that should i got caused by the bitcoin hardfork.
Bitcoin gives the best time to buy the altcoin with very cheap price.

When Bitcoin has hit 6050 I decided to buy more alts. But the problem is that if Bitcoin crash, alts will go to. I will only hope that more people come to the market and then the crash will not be so big and alts will be able to go up.

until now, i am buying some altcoin which i guess it will getting increase soon and if its not increase, then i don't have any problem to hold it for a long term because i am sure that someday the altcoin price will be back increase. it is always good if we can found the coins which can be the next coins that will increase because it will gives us some profit. there are many altcoin that have a good potential to back increase but we need to analyze so we can buy at lower price.

yes, this is the right time. but not all alt we buy, we also have to be smart to analyze alt potentially will soon rise.
I have chosen one alt ie monetha MTH, what do you think?

mth is scam coin....for long term big red falg....if you see any news for short term buy and sell...they adding some china exchange next week i guess

yes it's good for now the altcoin prices are  reasonable to buy it’s right time for the investors to invest in these currencies and the trade of these currencies is fruitful in the future. I have less amount of bitcoin and the rest is of altcoins. For now I haven’t much quantity of it but in the future I will trade these currencies.

I am a little bit heavier on the alt coin side too. I have around 70% of my portfolio revolving around some of the major alt coins and a few obscure ones. I am currently holding some Eth, LTC, XMR and Storj. I also added Electroneum in the list because I kinda like the way they are promoting their coin.

I, too, do not see the point of buying bitcoin at a high price, now is an advantageous time for purchasing cheap altos. In the future, some of them will be shot and I will be on top.

Totally agree. If anything, I'd wait a few days/weeks before buying any BTC, especially if it goes above 6k$. (which it seems likely to do)
The price should go somewhat down once people get their BTCGold and start reinvesting in alts.

Just wish I had the fund to load way more ARK, right now :p

My portfolio is now 100% in alts  ;D I honestly believe buying alts now will give much more profit comparing with bitcoin gold. First bitcoin price may drop anytime during fork, second the price of bitcoin gold may not satisfy people holding bitcoin.

Well I guess it is the right time to buy Alt coins instead of Buying Bitcoins because price of Bitcoins is already to high for us to buy so Now after the pump and bump of Bitcoin it will be time for some alt coins to show some high price. Do you know some best names who are going up soon ?

All in Stratis , ive waited months for this price , and now is the time . Thanks dumpers , next year you guys begging to buy this cheap again  :D

I have something like %40 to %50 of my portfolio at bitcoin. I am one of those plan to buy alts right now but not using bitcoin but cash! It is great time to use your cash now to profit later.

This is just crazy. A few altcoins wil outperform bitcoin, but most alt will fade away and become worthless. Bitcoin is a risky investment, alts are pure gamble.

for solid Alts with product and goo team, it is a great time to buy in. but you will gonna hold until btc fork over and miss the opportunity along with it.

Well I'm not buying but I'm holding! :D Does that count too? Don't really like this hard forks that are going on with BTC so I'm just leaving my portfolio just as it is... Mainly because my altcoins are spread around different exchanges and there is no point dump them for BTC and then buyback again after fork. Also I believe in those projects, so if you look long term, I don't mind those price drops. It will get back on track eventually.

50-50, long term, but i also think good time to invest in alts. :)

Now is a great time to buy up all the alts, they will rise up faster than btc after the fork is done. Better get some now before the altcoin pump!

Right now around 40% of my cryptocurrency investment is diversified into numerous altcoins and the rest is in BTC. I think that you are right, right now altcoins are down a bit because of the fact that bitcoin has surged so much.

For people who held bitcoin, it could be a pretty good investment to move some of that bitcoin into altcoins and wait for the pump before cashing out some of that altcoins for a decent profit. Always buy when everyone else is panic dumping, which is what's happening with altcoins in general right now.

I am still buying all the brokens and bloody altcoins. Its better to buy them now in a bearish cycle to make some profits in the next time. If we hit a bullish cycle in the next couple of weeks I dont have to care about FOMO :)

indeed,
even tough everything is very good and look so pretty well,
but bear it in your mind,everything can be happen in cryptocurrency.
so it's not the best action to put all into one,
it would be better for you to keep some of it as a financial back up.
you will double your money if you do that and also you will lose all of your money if you do that.
it's a trading not a gamble

I have bought 40% for ripple because memory of Swell conference, I should patience to buy alt when knowing BTC reach ATH and bloodbath event done. But, I am planning for selling xrp around 2- 4 weeks later. Hopefully it will be recovery soon.

Intended to keep some btc aside to spend on alts right before the fork, but spent it all on alts already. Now just waiting for money to flow back into alts after the fork.

I bought some ptoy and XVG when thought its very cheap already....but BTC and altcoin's prices surprise more and more everyday in row :)

As others have said, only buy in projects with solid long-term fundamentals. No point in buying alts cheap if they fizzle out due to lack of dev etc.

Same thing.If your good in traiding and risky,then yes.Good moment before fork.Still no Nastradamuses here

Now is a fantastic time to buy alts. Low market, should recover after the forks. I bought a bunch of alt low a few weeks ago, though of course wish I had waited a bit longer and bought in now, but I still got in low.

I guess every smart person in this forum is buying alt coins lately. This is really a great opportunity because all those Alt coins in red will eventually turn green and make their owners rich. Be a wise man and don’t miss this opportunity people.

I wish I had more patience and waited a little longer.  I have been buying lots of alt coins every time I see the price drop a decent percentage.  I just keep adding to my bags instead of fear taking over and wanting to sell. I see price drops as a great buying opportunity.  

Glad I started this thread and can see a lot of people feel the same way.  Seemed obvious to me but when you see herd mentality with everyone pumping BTC I second guessed myself.  I still have about 60% in BTC.


Now we have to wonder how the mid November fork could affect alt coins ..........  Hopefully they recover  before that fork happens.  I hate seeing everything in the red. I'm down a whole BTC worth in alt coins at the moment.  Couple weeks ago it was all green, then went negative about .5 BTC, then back green to + .5 BTC.  Now down a lot more.  Quite a ride.

Despite all this mess I did make out well on NEBL that went up and has held 125% gain as well as SWIFT which I doubled up on. Sold a third to half of each so I could leave house money in.

Highly suggest you check out ASSETRON Energy - interesting project with good potential if it succeeds.

Needs solid investors. Join their slack to get direct access to team

Some of this alts is a must buy in my opinion , When people was collecting BTC for the fork , I was buying alts :D , A profit that have a chance to 50% + vs a portion of a useless coin BTG that will probably give you 1% profit at best ! . People just do not use there minds , They just hear fork and All they know is sell there alts and buy BTC without even do some  basic math .

i hope i can buy now but unfortunately i already bought alot of coins just before btc start pumping now i'm in loss but i'm not worry as all these coins will pump hard after fork

I made the same mistake myself, bought in too early on some of the small alt coins Crown, Radium, 808, Droxne, Crave, etc. Nonetheless most of the coins I purchased are Proof of Stake coins and you can earn returns by staking the coins while you wait for them to appreciate. My view is that small coins are extremely volatile and you need to take a venture capital like approach where you invest in a large number of coins and assume that you will have a small number of big winners that drive your returns. Even if you have have several coins that go to zero, you still come out ahead so long as you have a few big winners in your portfolio.

An investor needs emotional fortitude ad a trading methodology to endure short term losses with alt coins since alt coins took a large dip in the out of control BTC rally we have had recently. But the crypto markets should mean revert at some point.   

I was waiting for XLM to bottom to 300 before buying :(

Bought QTUM and made profit but was one of the worst performers of the day.

Darn.

I've currently converted my all altcoins to bitcoins to claim bitcoin gold but yeah buying altcoins is a great idea if you've some money to spend then definetely buy it now as lot's of people start buying their favorite altcoin after the fork. My favorite altcoins are ETH, XRP, Waves buy it if you want to hold it for long term.

I highly doubt that someone would have the guts to buy some cheap alt coins now.
Its really hard to gamble on alt coins nowadays,look at ETH it was hype 2 years ago and still cant beat bitcoin.
I think buying alt coin at cheap price wont give ROI in the future.

Recently btc prices are very high, compared to alt coins look very cheap, btc will continue to rise?

Well said.

My alt coin portfolio was down almost 9K USD this morning.  Despite it dropping so much I kept buying as they kept dropping.  I just looked and I am now in the green !  Crazy........  So from the looks of thing I would say my prediction was right.  Recouped $9K in a matter of hours across 60 alt coins.  They all went up some more than others.   Cant wait to see what happens  in the days to come.  I'll probably wish I had dumped a lot more of my BTC into the alt coins instead of keeping 60% in BTC.....  Shall see.  

The price of the project is very much too steep at the bottom of the schedule. It makes a lot of sense to look at the road map and the wedge.

I think now the growth of altcoyins is short-lived. Most of the bitcoins return to the alcoins. But ahead fork bitkoina and again the market will go down. We need a temporarily stable bitcoin

It will because bitcoin as the main pegged  currency for all of the crypto token or coin, remember bitcoin is the first one and another just bullshit token. I meant about the hardfork token of the bitcoin itself.

the time to buy altcoins is now. study them very carefully and buy a from 3-5 of them and then observe thier engagements. also hold folt in one or two or major ones- ETH to be specific.

2 types of people buying alt coins for they earning profit. first one is who are new to in trading like that people investing in all coins because they don't no about this coins. next few dare people investing low price coins they have to believe coins price may go up one day in that day we have to get more profit. for that reason few people buying this coins. so buying alt coins is nothing to happens any loss so every one should try to buy it. alt coins has great future. so buy it and keep hold this coins.

Yeah your right its time to buy or invest bitcoin because altcoin market was going down as we can see not continuesly going down but if you have a chance to buy or invest in bitcoin grab in now why? Because most of time was increasing the amount of bitcoin as of now bitcoin was continuesly increasing because we have many investor so if have chance that bitcoin going down grab it and buy it soonest bitcoin was going up again.

accumulate as many alts as possible now. some of the them are very cheap and you will not lose much even if it doesnt pick. but also have other established ones such as ETH. 80% ALT 20% BTC and ETH

Well i do buy some coins that are really cheap. Just because i don't have a lot of money. I bought some ETH, litecoin and dent. I think they will rise in the near future.

If they rise i would sell and then invest in other coins. I think this time on bitcoin.

Not necessarily, if he is invested in solid projects then he would do fine but if he invested in icos and altcoins with very low market cap then you could be right but if he is one of the lucky ones and hits one of the coins that goes 1000x then he could become a millionaire, so like you can see while the risks of investing in altcoins are great the rewards can be even greater.

With the constant downturn of the altcoin and the rest of it is no cost or almost worthless, maybe because of that bitcoin continuous increasing or supposedly in hardfork. there are many speculations about it, but yes this is the right time to buy altcoin, because there are more coins that can be trusted. All you need is to check each coin if it's trustworthy or that it's likely to increase its value, thus study a little. For sure to earn a big profit.

Who knows? But i mean BCH has made quite a run recently and that means that a lot of the Chinese based investors may be buying into altcoins including BCH up themselves. I could be totally mistaken, however. It's pure speculation.

And altcoins are no longer cheap right now after the short dip.

Vertcoin and stratis getting pumped like crazy.

Yes indeed I think also it seems that it should be to do, until now I have bought and invested in BCH and still holding it. The percentage I use on investments I do 40% for BCH, and 60% for BTC. And hopefully this can be profitable for me.

Some gamblers are buying the Bitcoin Cash to do gambling due to its lower fee.

accumulating ETC, ICN, OMG and PRO at these insanely cheap prices

I am buying more altcoins, I believe now is the best time to buy altcoins, all cheap. Maybe not too long altcoins will pump. I bought Sc, Dgb, Exp, Ltc, Ppc, Amp, ...
How about you? Would you buy altcoins or Bitcoin now?

Nowaday I see more profit in investing in altcoins than holding BTC that's why I'm 80% on alts

Yes it's good for now the altcoin prices are  reasonable to buy it’s right time for the investors to invest in these currencies and the trade of these currencies is fruitful in the future.

I don't buy Altcoins out of my purse but I do have them from bounty campaign rewards so I'm holding it until such time that cheap coins will do follow Bitcoin's value. Excited!

Bought some of them but i already have enough (maybe i even have to much), my next buys will only be btc and eth. I will buy every month some like a savings account.

Cheers

Im buying Chinese related coins. The trading suspension won't last much longer and these coins are at rock bottom prices (NEO, QTUM, WTC, XAS, etc)...

Sold quite a bit of my alts a few weeks ago and now I'm either buying some of them back or I reinvest them somewhere else. If you're looking for a good opportunity check my signature, do some research and then decide

I try to keep a balanced 50% BTC plus a little bit more that i use to enter alts on very short term trades for some fun. I believe that 50% in BTC is a good way to keep safe and an aditional 30% in well established alts. Only 20% for more riskier investments, small alts, ico and profit or dividend sharing assets. That way i tend not to worry so much when alts are diving as i have other assets to keep the profits coming. Maybe it a conservative way of looking at things, but it gets me the confort of sleeping well everyday:)

best thing to do is always have some fiat or BTC spare to buy into alts, when BTC price increases as this is usually when you'll get the cheapest alt prices.

It's a basic trading strategy. It would be wiser to buy them while they are lower; however, be sure to study their background and research with regards to their standing in the market. Some coins may not increase in value after some time and that would mean the investment you have made and the money you have spent may not comeback to you. I guess even if this is the perfect time, it still comes with the risks.

Yes, the price of some altcoins has raised today. I think market becomes better now. This is a suitable time to invest altcoins. Maybe 50% fund for altcoins is good for me.

I think you have to go for the alts if you are looking for coins that can go 10x or more. Hard to see Bitcoin, Ethereum going 10x from here but not impossible. Therefore you need to find the altcoins which you think have the best future and invest in those, it's all about risk/reward.

Stratis and Ripple , I believe those are still undervalued, just need to hold them for long time. I usually look for alt-coins providing real value and backed by big companies.

Any more suggestions ?

This is actually a great time to buy and not only altcoins but bitcoin cash is also doing very well. Most of the coins are currently very cheap some of them have getting dump over 80 to 90 percent and buy them now will make you good money in days to come. However I will not advise you to convert your current bitcoin holdings to altcoins as bitcoin did not need altcoins to grow but altcoins need bitcoin to grow.

Whale accumulate all alt coin with cheap price. Did you see vvertcoin ? It is pumped by whale. Accumulation is done but now pump just about to start. Whale still dump it a little bit to accumalte it more..just buy altcoin with solid developer and legit. It is probably will goes up some day..

Is it not risky? Is not at risk by buying various Altcoin that we do not know anything about their future. We better just save or buy a cryptocurrency that is definitely sure to profit like Bitcoin.

Buying Altcoin is okay, as long as we do not buy too much. We buy it with a minimum value of $ 100 each coin. Not too much to buy up to $ 1000. If you're investing in Bitcoin, it's great to buy a lot and keep collecting for that kind of investment. But I do not think Altcoin investment is very promising and I do not want to take that risk.

as you say. Its a big risk but big reward game ;)
Catching the new gem that might go up to ETH and Bitcoin next year could make you rich. Or loose you anything.
But there are chances ;) While bitcoin gives profit too, a person that only can buy lets say 0.1 ....will never be close to rich.

I think its a risky thing to put my portfolio in Altcoin right now due to the upcoming fork in November.

I'm currently looking on the market at etherdelta and I can see that altcoins are cheap right now if I have a chance to buy, I'll definitely but it however I don't have any capital yet. These altcoins (no need to mention) actually have good project and I'll say that this will pump in the next weeks.

I'm buying now, most are from etherdelta. Since there are many airdrop nowadays, I keep looking forward on those airdrops like undervalued tokens, buying them at very low price using ethereum and waiting to pump by their devs.

I am buying okcash and it keeps rising!

i cant  even imagine how you manage to earn a profit on altcoins because i see that altcoins nowadays are dying due to the fact that bitcoins is still increasing.  altcoins prices are stuck and getting to go down everyday. thats why more and more people are shifting their gears to bitcoin because they can actually earn a decent income in no time just by investing and holding some of bitcoins in thier wallet.

I noticed that if before with the bitcoin movement altcoyins fell a lot, now with the price change the altkoins do not react so drastically. I hope the altcoyins have found their bottom))

The dying of altcoins is just temporary, you will eventually see the altcoins gaining its price and recover it back again and it's just matter of time. the dying of altcoins mainly because of the significant price increase of bitcoin. but see now, the market stabilize, some of altcoins already all green.
That's why, some of smart people might see the opportunity of buying altcoins while bitcoin just go up.

Well, some of the altcoins that have experienced some huge dumps will still end up experiencing some pretty huge pumps at the long run.

So, if you had no altcoin before now, it is just good if you want to make some profits or just wait a little few days before the next fork amd then buy. Trust me man, those who are able to buy into some of the altcoins with huge support will enjoy the benefit.

It's a good buy opportunity but the question is; did it finally reach it's lowest value? Because to me I feel that it is still going down because I monitored that altcoins can only recover once btc stabilized or it is having another FUD drama.

Obviously most of them have found their bottom and we have not really had much huge bullish trend for bitcoin lately. The thing is that most of them will still get pumped later on when trade starts back normally. Also, some may still fall a little bit too before the next fork, but all the same, they just seem to me like more chance to buy.

Many crypto traders do follow the simple strategy of buying altcoins when bitcoins hits ATH. Fortunately they are making good profits by this strategy so far.

I did buy some of altcoins are down and now I'm out of funds. But altcoins are still going down and I regret that I bought them early instead of waiting a bit much longer. I hope that after all of this major events end, all my altcoins will recover back.

They will give ROI, just a few months ago people were talking about the death of bitcoin, the flipping and stuff like that then a few months of bitcoin growth and people now think that alts are never going to come back, you just need to be patient, buying alts right now seems like a great choice you just need to choose the right ones and you could easily make a lot of money.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is cheap:

http://coinivore.com/2017/11/07/bitcoin-forks-scaling-decoded-will-real-bitcoin-please-stand/

TL;DR Miners splitting hash rate from BTC/B2X will spell trouble for those chains, BCH could be the most stable store of value as well as best suited for huge transaction volume to truly challenge the Visa type companies.

Agree 100%. Alt coins will not go away and btc will not go away. Both will stand to benefit from one another. All the money in btc will go back to alt coins and vice verses all the money from alt coins will go back to btc. It has been a cycle.

At present coin prices are extremely cheap and should buy them. I have invested 0.5 bitcoin into sys, dgb and hope 1-2 months I will have 1 bit from 2 coin this. But do not invest too much into altcoin that can cost you a bit of $ 10,000. All altcoin will hit a new bottom.

Ive already lost a fortune, my crypto investments are all worth a tiny fraction of the bitcoin it once was. Even a huge altcoin boom might just give me a break even. Long term holding didn't work for me ;(

I will say so it's meaningless. Well, what's the point of buying up zero coins in the hope of their rabid ascent, which may not be 5 years and 10. There are certainly a few altas that give hope, but not everything. The first to buy ether and lightcoin.

still too early to buy, maybe if you want to start averaging down small amounts bit by bit but I reckon bitcoin will go close to if not over 8k before this next fork

too much of a guessing game at the moment to top up your alts fully

i am one of those people which buying up the cheap alt coins now and i do this to add another amount for my coins although i am not buying all of the altcoin. i think we can buy right now when the price is back to down after yesterday almost altcoins is increase a little and down again after bitcoin price is getting up. i think every altcoin have its the bottom price now and its only waiting for a good moment to gets increase back after bitcoin reach new price and i hope in that time, altcoin price will be increase again.

can you tell us please, WHEN and WHAT did you bought ?

I am buying cheap altcoins now :) I moved most of my bitcoin into fiat and altcoins, I am expecting a dump in bitcoin just prior to the fork, and a huge rally in altcoins at that time. If you check the charts you will see that altcoin prices are not decreasing any more, each of them has a nice support zone, and waiting for some good news to make a rally. This is not an investment suggestion, everybody has their own risk and reward, I only say what I see in charts.

How do you know they are cheap now? Most altcoins decreased again since you opened this thread. I wouldn't call them cheap, because most of them are still overpriced. Remember before March, compare prices with that time. I don't think it's a good time to buy most of altcoins.

They'll get pumped after teh fork, like they always do. You can earn a bigger percentage gain trading alts than trading bitcoin.

I see huge current opportunities. Today i'm out of BTC, only in altcoins and USD. Will return to bitcoin after fork and keeping purchase more altcoins such Decred in the following days.

From my opinion buying neo right now is a great idea now. It's seems like almost anybody i see on bct says the same thing. Now those alt coins are at cheap rate if those coins we buy now then there is a hug possibility to get profit. If we can take risk then definitely we have a chance to increase our profit. This profit only for risk takers i think. Now i am all ready buying some altcoins and i am hopeful to get a good profit as well.

no one. some still buy alt coin because it is the coin they love. and they think it can go up soon. But if we dont have any news on bitcoin I think altcoin will comeback soon

bought in june eth,xrp,nem,xmr,bts,steem. Doesn't even matter what I bought they are all way down...like 80%

It is a good time to buy altcoins right now, the price was almost half from a month ago. I am planning to buy more ETH and XEM before their price starts pushing back up. 


Their price might have fallen in terms of bitcoin but it is still the same value in terms of dollars. So I think it is not all lost yet. Once bitcoin settles down or corrected, the price of those coins in bitcoin will recover.

As of this moment, I no longer have BTC (except for some "crumbs" scattered in various exchanges).  I used it all to buy cheap alts.  Will cash out some after they rebound and hold some BTC then.

It is my chosen strategy vs the free Segwit2X coin.  Both will work but I believe this one will yield higher return.  Hope I am not mistaken.

using BTC to buy altcoin is wise now. I was bought a lot of good coins with cheap price.and wait when BTC price is dum

I think it is wrong to talk about buying opportunity in general.
each coin has a different buying time for example a nice time to buy dovu

Personally, i'm passing on any and all altcoins for now. Until the bitcoin hardfork is done at least.
There is simply just too much upward bullish action to disregard this. People will buy and hold bitcoin for the free "dividend."
Expect a sell off immediately right after the fork tho.

I am in 80% in altcoins and now it will give me big profit beacuse all altcoins are green so it was very profitable investment.

Quoting myself...LOL

I guess I made the right call...portfolio is up 33% since this morning. :o

33% gain on your portfolio isnt really bad at all since we did only need to wait for just few weeks to see our investment grow. For those people did able to buy cheap altcoin are now on profits or greens but yet would really depend on which coins did they purchase and also we should brace ourselves on possible pumps on alts since segwit fork is being canceled already.

I think now is time to buy and hold alts.

Smart people are buying all the altcoin right now, soon alts will be back

Actually I am hoping for a 100% rebound for some alts the next few days/weeks.  We will see. :D

I don't see any cheap altcoins now. They all are more than their value in March 2017. How could you call them cheap? Their USD value is same as pumped prices.

"CHEAP" is relative.  I tend to look at it vs. the near future (anticipated) value.

Like how the old $300 per BTC price is relatively cheap compared to the $7,000 value now. ;)

Stratis is really a good option right now, you should start buying before it goes back up to $7. Have been keeping my NEO even when it dip down to $25 last week but now its almost $34 so that is a bit pricey. But if you look at how much it can be in the next months, But some NEO.

Yeah I see the same I'm staying it BTC and going to ride this alt wave out. Actually I have a bad feeling about alts now gonna dump mine on this rise. I have a feeling BTC is heading to 10K this year and 25K next year. Alts are gonna get massacred.

I think now time for altcoins, and first who want rise is ETH, and their tokens, example SNT, price so low and can now go rise to new ATH.My advice to you, take a closer look at this coin.

I feel sorry for you...

Why u ask that. Ofcourse people who already bought bitcoin for hardfork now will buy alt coin. They moved their money to altcoi  and pump it then they will get more bitcoin in their pocket. This cycle continue and repeated every now and then.

Hehe, this is the time that not noobs start buying alts like crazy  ::) so all old and experience people in crypto are buying now!!

Much investors who wanted to get into market, there are many new people getting on and buying coins... good night or day or whatever ;)

everyone!

Most of the new investors buy bitcoin first then slowly they learn about alt coins. So all the gains from btc will slowly move into alt coins. The best time to buy was last week when everyone was extremely negative with alt coins. I think this is a new rally for alt coins. Scoop some now or regret later.

All altcoins are having their parties now, courtesy of B2X suspension.

Too bad not me. I was sleeping when this bull run has started so I couldn't catch the train. Anyways I didn't think altcoin prices were cheap enough to buy. It is still pumped price for most of them.

I just hodled BTC and a diverse range of Alts all along. This is less stressful  :)

I do because they are really cheap its just a few dollars for a investment. If you invest in bitcoin it is very expensive so i would go rather for altcoins instead.

You can also earn altcoins but i buy some of them. I hope that these coins will get worth good.

I've bought a lot of SYS, OMG, SPR and FLO yesterday just after steemit news about segwit. For me it was first time I got such good timing in crypto :)

Among the tokens you mentioned its just OMG that seem to have future as per my view though. One coin that I bought yesterday was XRP. Reality-Clash token is just one that I like in the gaming industry, its cheaper as of now as its yet not developed but maybe in the future, it would be much valuable.

I am short and mid term trader. So I don't look as far as even one year in future.

This was really a good move. At least at that point you just knew in any way, you are still going to be making some good amount of profit both from the fork and also from the altcoins. I spread most of my portfolios in the exchange mainly into altcoins anyway cause I never really expected much to come out from the segwit2x and I am just happy I did right now as I am watching my profit growing drastically.

This is very much expected and at least you should have spread your wings a little bit to touch some of the altcoins.
There would still be some correction either way but that would not still stop bitcoin from soaring high eventually. Lots of people are quickly trying to get into the altcoin to train to make some good profit. I guess it is a good period and we just have to watch how things end up going.

you can check the BTC dominance on this website

https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage (https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage)

At the moment about 40% are altcoins and 60% of the entire market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies is BTC. So BTC has quite a dominance, which has not already been the case - last months we experienced the so-called flippering, where ETH was approaching very close to BTC to even surpassing it, back then BTC was down to 40% market share.. now it's up due to the various upcoming forks, but I expect that at some point we will be seeing again the market dominance of BTC dropping, as altcoins become more popular and people start using the blockchain for other applications rather than only the transfer of value (which BTC is the only thing that it does).

People may or may not buy at this time considering the btc prices are set to rise and altcoin may again fall back. Thus it is imperative that if such rise continues in btc then altcoin may fall back again like last time. Thus a little cautious approach here will help you to think and invest wisely

Right now I believe more people could have bought cheap altcoins, because most of the coins decreased big in value. This can help get a big volume of altcoins holding. The price move is a cyclic process, the price might drop today, but once again grows. One should have the patience to hold and profit at the time of price pumping. The risk factor is that altcoins won't get regular price increase similar to bitcoin.

Not everybody is buying altcoins right now. I am not purchasing any altcoins because of the segwit thing, it's like a normal day to me.

I plan to invest in ETH and LTC. It is not clear what will happen to BTC.

Holders are buying all these altcoins. I think it's smart to buy right now. When the price will rise, all they have to do is sell all those coins again. I think there can be made big money by investing in altcoins right now.

I personally also accumulating very cheap alt. I am accumulating atlant which is very low from ico price and their first product will be launch at march. Boscoin also buying it even only in webwallet and main net will launch at 2018 q1. Many alt will got pump from now untill december. Bit remember only legit project with legit team.

That's the real problem with the alt market. All these new shitcoins like boscoins are just diluting the market taking away any potential for sustained altcoin growth. Coins that have no other use then to make the developers rich. All they need are sheep to donate there real coins like eth,xrp,ltc,xmr,dash,nem btc.

Anyone that is reasonable about his investments and about what he expects about it should be buying some alts especially since you can get all those alts at cheap prices, to me this seems like a good moment to put part of our investment in alts, I’m planning to move at least half of my investment to alts, and the best thing is we do not have to take great risks ,we can invest in some of the most well known alts and still get very good prices.

Buying at the first stage of ICO is really the only way to get the altcoins at most cheap price. and buying with that it is obvious to the investor that exact after the end of ICO when the coin will launch the exchange then they will earn a high amount if they even sell instantly. So all the profit is earned in a period of a month or two.

I think not all ICO coins have a good investment prospect, because I have little experience to invest in unpleasant ICO because the selling value of coins is very low, learning from my experience prefer to buy altcoin that already exist in the market like ETH, LTC, NEO, DASH and Waves, although altcoin is now down but i'm optimistic if one day this coin will increase.

Mine is 30% Altcoins and 70% Bitcoin. I'm a die hard Bitcoin fan so I stick to Bitcoin more than these Alternate coins. But I do have a couple of Altcoins stored in an exchange site with 2fa and hardware wallet that are for long term so I might be checking back with these coins after a year when I bought them at a very cheap price.

Noobs will try to purchase some altcoins because the price of Bitcoin is going up and down though they will soon notice that they should've kept their Bitcoins.

The train is just about leaving and you still have the chance to catch some of them. Some people are still sleeping and if you wait for them to wake up, it is very possible you miss your chance. We have not seen any bull run yet and you will be surprise that the chances of making profit for some of these altcoins are still high. Still, if you feel you can no longer pull through, and then I will just have to say, sorry you missed!

That's the reason why I'm hardly buying them cheaply. I belive we might not have another chance to catch those cheap and nice altcoins. If the bull market starts, it becomes impossible to buy them with this rate.

Is it a good time to buy altcoins when BTC is going up ?

Most say yes and i think so too.

I've been buying Alts trying to catch the bottom for what feels like an eternity

I often spend 30% my fund to invest in BTC, 40% to trade altcoins and 30% to invest in ICOs

I am sure that it's more than one person that is purchasing the coins. There's a bunch of investors getting coins because of Segwit2x being cancelled.

I don't know about you but I don't buy altcoins now, they are not cheap anyway. If you are not in BTC or fiat you are losing money day by day. A lot of people sell their altcoins to get Bitcoin again, it's in a rally for a long time. Until that situation change I don't think about buying any altcoins.

Bitcoin has a market dominance of 57% which would justify holding it for the long term.  Most of the money in the market is in the top 21 coins.  The large caps have 6 coins at 84% of the market.  The mid caps have 15 coins at 13% of the market, that leaves the small and micro caps at less than 3% of the market. 

I have accumulated a lot of altcoins in the last two weeks.

I can not understand this panic. For me this is a good opprotunity, no need to panic imho.

I'm collecting some altcoins, yet I try to select them very patiently. I don't wanna lose more money. Buying randomly is a bad idea even though you think the price of all the altcoins is in their dip levels.

The market of icos has always being unregulated so anyone can create their own project, the problem is that so many useless projects are coming that is not easy to tell which one is a scam and which project is a legit project and this affect us greatly since not only icos get a bad reputation but also some good projects do not raise enough funds and are doom to failure from the start.

altcoins are low in value currently. They have the potential to rise like 100% in a short time. Btc aswel but that will take a bit longer

Today is supposed to be another buying day but I simply cannot do it because I am still stuck up with my altcoins. I have not sold them when everything was still up and green. Yesterday, the altcoins are green all over. I was expecting the green days to be continuous for at least some couple of days more. But the tides changed over the night. When I woke up, it was replaced with red already. I will just hang on to my altcoins.

Alt coin normally fall when BTC rise in value so it stay proportional to the usd worth, but its a normal symptom. It will increase back after a few days.

I was buying (many LTC) as I heard a swap would be tested,
it was a big success
and the price was started to rise,
I bought quite lots,... it is so nice

True many people see the high price of bitcoin and they think they can make more money with alts and while some are able to do just that most people never do since they invest in terrible projects that at the end are nothing but a scam our projects that never had any chance of becoming a success, this is why I prefer to keep my bitcoin maybe I'm not going to become very rich by holding but my life is going to be easier thanks to my bitcoin savings.

I agree, they think it is an advantage when Bitcoins price is high and think if they convert their Bitcoins and buy Altcoins they mostly think they can profit and buy back Bitcoin when it is low. I think it is not a good idea especially when Bitcoins price right now keeps on increasing. It is better to just hold on to your Bitcoin holdings rather than buy random Altcoins which sometimes are not worth anything anymore.

That is highly a tedious process to find the growth of random altcoins. I never used to spend on cheap altcoins, but for the same I prefer buying of some altcoins that has been showing a some good growth for a long period than many other altcoins. This will not let me down in a short or two.

Now as it is all happening a bit strange. When you think that the price of the coin reached the bottom and will turn it goes even lower. Now if you are growing the standard designs. XEL. BAT. ARDOR. SYS and a bunch of projects that cost a penny and the price is not moving even if there are positive news

For those who bought alt coins in the past couple of month must have a big  ;D in their account.  Will the top 5 alts coins ever be this cheap again?  For all those late to the bitcoin are probably bought alt coins to find the similar ROI.  Good for those who bought during the dip.

Buy $RISE from 3300-3700. I believe it will have a pump in the coming weeks, especially with this possible alt boom. Volume is increasing steadily and it’s nearing the end of a correction and accumulation phase! Also breaking out from the infamous triangle
