Bitcoin Forum

We are very curious: Which Altcoin do you prefer/like at the moment? Would you trade your Bitcoins for that Altcoin, and expect to get a higher profit?

For instance, TRON is getting quite popular, so we listed it on IcoCryptex.io (https://icocryptex.io/markets?utm_source=bitcointalk&utm_medium=social). But if there are any other coins you prefer, we would like to hear about it.

Maybe i will prefer to choose coin trading top ten  at coinmarketcap. Because i don't wanna to get speculation since market still down like this. My asset now separated in btc, xlm, xrp and eth

Is ethereum a considerable altcoin right? If yes than is it altcoin because it is the second in comand which means the possibility of getting rich. Also if you need to work it you need a back up altcoin which means for me I would take a waves token because  this waves helps people and the same as bitcoin it was once a downfall coin which means it can rise if you give yourself a patient of mind on seach obstacle.

So you try to play (kind of) safe. Sounds like a good distribution. So I guess you trust BTC the most?


Ethereum is indeed an Altcoin. Well, you could get rich with all coins of course - however, you could also lose everything (invested) at a moment's notice.
What do you think is special about waves? That everyone can use their platform to trade & create own tokens or it's simplicity and high speed? Waves is in the Top 42 on coinmarketcap, yet I don't hear a lot about it these days (which could also be a consequence of todays market).

I am expecting greater growth in the part of NEO. It is the best alt coin for me. It is proven and tested by many people so I joined their trade in NEO. Guess what, I traded at .003 btc and it grew to .014. That's great right? Great reason to trade.

Anyone who has been in this space long enough knows for a fact that altcoins come and go, but our Queen stays eternal. Of course it's natural to think that XYZ-coin will be more profitable to you since its market cap is only a fraction of BTCs. But if you think long term price for BTC and what it might potentially be in the next 5-10 years, there's not enough BTC's to all the millionaires in the WORLD.

That should give you healthy perspective.

It looks to me that this thread is an indirect promotion for Tron. Lol. Kidding aside, I don't have Bitcoin but I have lots of altcoins in my pocket. I think it is profitable to gamble on altcoins rather than Bitcoin. Bitcoin price is already high so I decided to buy more altcoins with big potential in the future.

Its very nice now to buy alts through btc because the prices are so cheap compared on last 2 months. The price now can make us millionaire soon on December, I believe. So Buy while the price is cheap.

I never do trade bitcoins for investing into a altcoins in long term because most of the altcoins will get dumped I am investing on other cryptos in short term to make monney and then will invest back the profits into the bitcoin again because I don't believe that altcoins will not have growth rate like bitcoin.

I recommending  go for NEO,ADA,XLM,WAN,ICX,PCHAIN . They have a good future according to their whitepaper. First You need to research about that project and invest.

Yeah, Neo feels like a big guy already. It is nice to see the price rising a bit again.


Well, BTC seems to be a coin for HODLers, short-term investments are mostly made in other currencies. The question is: How to get the highest profit?


Haha, there is no connection to TRON in particular - promise! It's just the coin that I hear most about these days. It's good to distribute the risks indeed. Bitcoin is quite expensive and you need a long breath for that. So personally I prefer Altcoins at the moment too.



Mostly when BTC prices lower, all the other coins follow. So the trick would be to find Altcoins that (mostly) resist these trends, right?

there are two choices I make most often, the first is to invest in long-term, I usually choose some new coins that are very cheap and buy a few coins that are quite a lot, the second is on bitcoin for short-term investments...

I'm trading $OCN. The airdrop is ongoing with a 1:1 airdrop to $OCP. The price has never been cheaper and seems to be stable. I can only see it going up. It's partnered with $TRX. They've done a live stream with Justin and Yi (The founders of OCN and TRX) before on Twitter. Both of them can increase the amount of your BTC in the short and long term from an investment perspective.

My all attention now is with Dogecoin. It's swings in the market giving so many opportunities to earn. Besides it has grown by half in the past two weeks. I'm very intrigued what this coin will bring.

I don’t think so this is the right time to trade the Bitcoins. But in case I have to then I would go for the one among the top 10 on coin market cap. I think all of those are good Altcoins. I would prefer to go with Ethereum, considering it is the top Altcoin. Also nowadays its value I also down, so this would be a great opportunity to invest in Ethereum.

Most of the alts are still bleeding from their dumps so it is not good to buy from those who decrease so much these past weeks one of them are Eth that past $200 mark recently so buy when the bottom hits their market price then we can trade portion of bitcoin to them, risky to trade all bitcoin even for a diversified trusted altcoin, bitcoin is proven so we can't worry that much as long as we are updated to the news.

If you have to own altcoins, that's probably the smartest tactic.  I'd say 99% of them are never ever going to get used for anything other than speculators trading them for bitcoin, back and forth.  Even in the top ten, most of them aren't getting used as currency.  Bitcoin itself barely gets used.

I recently bought some Dash, as I think it's one of the few that's going to survive and there's been some news that Venezuela is picking up on it as an alternative to its crappy, hyperinflated fiat currency.  But I don't plan to hold it forever, as I think bitcoin is going to outperform it and all the other altcoins.  I just think there's a little money to be made before I trade it back for bitcoin--and I wouldn't touch the other coins, even if they're in the top 10. 

I saw some good altcoins and might have a profitable future like ETH, Ripple and EOS, but I still use Bitcoin because it has high demand

All of them are good but I think if we talk about value or demand it is good to use bitcoin only, any coin can be invest but for me bitcoin has the most high demand and high value, it is good time to buy as price is normal and price is the only reason why many of us are investing to it, I will trade later on when price is going to be good as I am long term trader, in any situation it is good to have patience and hold.

Actualy I'm dealing only with Bitcoin and I wouldn't trade it for altcoins. Bitcoin is to my opinion still the most valuable coin and the best to trade with best options to make profit.
Only other coin that is to my opinion worth trading is Ethereum but I don't have much experience with it and I wouldn't trade Bitcoin for it.
I think there are too many altcoins on the market and just a few of them are actualy worth paying attention.

Dealing it main most of the people will have bitcoin as the final level for exchanging it.

If you want to find the profit with your investment none other then altcoins is the resource for you to make this truth on using it.
Prefer both this coins to make money on trading field mostly this is happening on every traders view. No one will give up on one coin.

For the Ethereum price huge dump, I am trading with bitcoin! I don't believe in hodl anymore, that's why I am trading! I am trading with EOS, LTC, ADA, TRON, NPXS and Zil coin in Bitcoin Pair regularly. Therefore, I am trading with more altcoins at this moment, but I will not prefer those coins to everyone! And I believe every regular trader has a secret coin but Only long stable and legit coin should be preferred!

I like to diversify my assets, so if I held all bitcoin, I would definitely flip a percentage of it, and purchase altcoins, my Favorite being Ethereum, NEO, EOS, steem, ADA.

The market is too cruel now to presume a good altcoin to jump into. I will recommend you hold your stand till things look Green

Actually there are a lot of great alt coin in the market, we got eth, xrp, eos, Ada and etc, the top 10 coins in marketcap is a great coin to invest, trx is also one of the great coin, but the development of trx is a bit disappointing, after being listed in many exchanges it got no significant growth

I wouldn't. If you choose altcoins over BTC you're taking a volatile asset, multiplying its volatility by 2 and adding a chance of total failure. With bitcoin this chance is very low. I wouldn't give more than 1% that it will suddenly disappear and get destroyed by a catastrophic event like a worldwide network failure or a virus. With some altcoins chances that next year the project going to be called a scam or abandoned are 50%.

Yes i trade my Bitcoin with altcoin, and altcoin that will i chooce according to technical analysis, so in every month i will trade about 7 to 15 different altcoin. When i did day trading, iam not really learn about fundamental each crypto, because i just used technical analysis to determine support and resistance area. And all altcoin that include in top 100 ranking coinmarket cap is good choice to trade.

I believe top 1 - 5 from coinmarketcap is very good option, I need to avoid new coins because they don't have history that I can use to get the real analyze. Most people will agree with me and they like diversity so never replace your asset just in one place. I never follow TRON but I'll make time to see it.
