Bitcoin Forum

Morning,

I hold some position in SUB, REQ and QSP. I bought in few weeks ago in ETH from coinbase.
My position are now down into the abyss due to the rise of ETH.

Will it make more sense to trade with BTC as it is more stable ?
Should I transfer from Coinbase my ETH, change it to BTC on Binance and trade with BTC ?

The same position I have are in the green with BTC.

I dont day trade btw.

Thanks for your help.

I'm not familiar with those alts, and I think it's very risky to invest in alts that are not on the top15 at least. There is a lot of hype in this market, and since coinbase is planning to list a new coin, a lot of traders are speculating about what coin will they list there. That's probably one of the reasons why they are having huge price increases. I think most people look to the top coins, they see a small growth and they all pile in, so investing in top15 coins normally helps (plus they are more stable as well). As whether to invest in ether or bitcoin, I think you will ok with both. Ether is quite bulish right now, and will probably continue to climb until it reaches $900.

when an altcoin drops it is usually not because the other coin you are trading it against (bitcoin or ethereum) has gone up. it is because people dumped that coin and move on. this is specially true when we are talking about smaller altcoins with a much smaller volume.

if you have that second option, which one would you choose? I think that bitcoin is suitable for short-term investments and Ethereum is suited for the long term.

Hey, why don't you just divide your deposit 50/50 between eth and btc? Nobody knows where btc or eth will go tomorrow but this way you can reduce your risks a little.

Depends on how much you have to invest in, what is your capital, how much can you afford to lose/gain?
I recommend you invest in both since they are both doing very well.

This is a frightened problem. Sometimes if anyone loss, they feel hard to sell it back. So that dissolved to failured.

My solution
1. If you sure the price will rise. hold it
2. If you not sure, you can sell it and try to buy another to get profit.

it is same even with BTC or ETH, maybe if the coin still have potential nothing to do than hold it. or if you still have capital maybe back up some in lower price

you should hold these alts untill breakeven if possible don't trade for loss ever.  sub and qsp are not bad altcoins but it is just a matter of t time sooner or later you will get your profit. At the moment bitcoin is more stable than ethereum and i also now trading with bitcoin.

maybe you can try to invest 50% in Btc and the rest in altcoin but you must choose carefully the altcoins that you want to invest in

you can trade bitcoin.if you see the price of bitcoin.it is not more stale than eth.eth is increasing fast.if you trade on bitcoin you can easily measure how you profit.so trade with bitcoin.

If you prefer to earn a huge amount of money but in a long-term, you choose ETH where you can save it for several months until it is finally reaches its highest rate.

I haven't checked any of the alts you have stated on your post but I can suggest you to trade your alts with BTC pair as liquidity will be high because most of the traders prefer bitcoin pairs and price spread will be very small so that you can sell your coins at market price or price at which that coin is being traded on other platforms.

For those who have more money I think it's better to invest in btc, because the rotation in btc is higher.
But be prepared also if btc has drastic decline.

very simple, for long-term benefits of course you must choose bitcoin as an altcoin pair whereas if you want short-term gain, you can choose ethereum as your short profit option because the price is very volatile

Where is bitcoin more stable? Did you noticed the last months? Im Trading in eth because withdraw and deposit is faster and much cheaper (;

prefer eth because the price is still cheaper than bitcoin, and is perfect for investors who want to invest with a small capital

You will experience the same situation with btc.

for my ethereum it is a good long-term investment, in recent days it has had a good increase, for me it could reach $ 1000 after bitcoin stabilizes and investments go to ethereum

As others have said, it doesn't really matter what you trade with as it depends on the quality of the alts your selecting.  I try to keep 40% BTC, 20% ETH, 10% LTC, 10% DASH, and the rest I move into alts and trade with.  It's really risky to go all in with alts, you can make tons of cash but you can lose it all really quickly.

I think It is BTC

If you can afford, invest in BTC, but since its too expensive, invest in both like 50% each. Then you can have profit in both.

I'd recommend investing half in ethers and another half in other altcoins like Ripple, EOS, IOTA, etc.

of course you may invest to bitcoin , bitcoin is most popular everyone know btc , but i think you want double your money , you need invest ETH


ETH is update of bitcoin , fast transaction and more  application .

It is better to invest to btc since it is more reliable and most in stable among the e currency now, and especially comoare to the coins you mentioned, asife from btc you can have ETH which is so good now.
