So guys, are you still hodling altcoins. Tbh, I just don't see any case for the moment in hodling coins, my start for the moment is to get as much sats as I can using  Voodo crypto's  (https://discord.gg/TbYwFNp) depth chart analysis.

Hello! I hold all my coins. I see no reason to sell them at such prices. Then it's not scary) But everyone decides for himself. Good luck!

Hey, what I ment is that for now I'm only getting btc. Of course no reason to sell if you already got them

Yeh, still holdind. I don't find any alternative. The market is too bearish now. The prices are too low for selling my altcoins it's better to wait half a year when the next bullrun will start.

Your strategy seems right, im also on the hunt to accumulate more and more btc and eth during this bear run as whenever bulls start rolling we can make decent money out of our investments at the low prices now.

My altcoin value was in millions last months now, the value of my altcoin is less than $200k. So what is the point! I could as well let it burn down to zero and build right from there to my millions once again. I have done it before, I can still do it again!

there is nothing wrong with holding a coin and waiting for a better price, but if it doesn't make a change, being a hunter is not a difficult thing to do, and still gets a low rate of profit now, so each method has its own advantages

just collect as much sats as you can is a good idea in this red market
and don't forget to collect more ethereum too, i believe when the bull coming ethereum will surpass xrp and become the best altcoins again my friend

Yes I am.
There's no point if you are negative already with your holdings. As much as possible, sell them if you don't see any point of holding it anymore.

There's nothing wrong with holding alts, I mean, the current market is a bloodbath so I'd rather hold my coins than giving in to panic selling. This trend  won't last forever, at some point in the future we're gonna see more buying pressure and the market will eventually recover. If you want to accumulate more btc, then go for it, this definitely the time to accumulate more btc as the price just keeps going further down everyday.

for now i still holding all my altcoins,,
and its hard to hold in this red market, because my portofolio was decreasing hardly my friend
but, i believe when the green is back, my portofolio will be back, even more  ;)

Why you think it's not a good idea to hold altcoins at the moment? Although BTC is the king but not the only cryptocurrency can rise back in the future so I think it's still fine if anyone still wanna keep holding altcoins. Instead of earning as much as sts as possible why don't you try to earn both sts and altcoins at the same time. LOL.

Our option for now is not that broad and one of them is HODL. This may be the best time to accumulate more crypto as the value is not so high but confidence on cryptocurrency for now is a bit low and recovery may take time.

Im still hold whole of my altcoin and i will try accumulate more and more bitcoin because it's so cheap but i still waiting for another bottom in the future too. This will be a very interesting thing to see i can buy bunch of bitcoin as fast as possible. Market seems give us a lot of discount.

If you had sold the altcoins you had long before now, i would have agreed that there is no point in holding. Just few altcoins are bringing substantial amount of profit these days. So for so many of the altcoins, it ius better to hold them, except there are better options, that perhaps have more prospects than the ones you presently have. If you still feel like selling, give it some thought before doing that.

Well thats great.
Just like they say. "When something goes down it should also go back up".

I think this dump will be ending soon and bitcoin will be in the front line. Higher profits will come from it and altcoins also will be dragged into it.
They are converted into bitcoin and ETH only so there is a high possibility their value will also grow.

Watched some analysts about it and I am intrigued at how they explained it which makes a lot of sense.
Just like other types of investments. They dump it and new investors come to buy it for a cheaper price. It is just a cycle.
3k usd might be the bottom of this.

It's every one for himself now if he thinks he wants to cuts his losses he can sell right away and if he thinks there will always have a rebound then hold your coins and never look at the chart and wait for someone posting here that the price is rebounding.

of course I am still holding, even now I am buying more to be a long-term investment, because in my opinion this is an opportunity that will never happen again, so in my opinion the people who sell their coins will definitely regret in the future, because the market will improve again and of course will return our profits, even giving us more profit.

Good day. If you have cash then its really a good time to buy. But long time traders and crypto investors have some alts and can't sell our assets. No choice but to hold. Who would think ethereum would dip that low. Its a lesson for me. Always be ready with cash anytime.

Btc is a coin that gives rest of mind, because it has every tendency to grow late in future. Investors who have fiat to invest now are at advantage, if they should buy more.

Believe me, the wait is not so long, soon the market will return to the original prices, and then the growth of the cryptocurrency market will begin, again.

I recently started to buy BTC dont want to average up to much and been shorting it as well. It´s often wise to hedge and this was a good year of shorting! I have 10% of my BTC on bitmex for shorting and been withdrawing a lot too keep it at 10%. If i get liquidated now around 4300 we should have seen the bottom right :P ? but who knows!

hold at current rates will not get the expected results. the hold will be a good time and collect a lot of coins at this time is good preparation for the start of the crypto some time in the future. hold it because crypto continues to grow and it's a shame when a sale at this time with prices that are still very cheap.

The value of crypto is really on it's downwards position, people who still trusting the system will continue accumulating and buying it with this sale value, though it's a matter of time before we will see the potential bounce back but for sure it will be much sweeter when we see real success when market start mooning again and reach new top peak.

There are altcoins that is worthy to hold but also there are altcoins that is not, you just need to choose carefully on what altcoins and to sell so that you will not regret it in the future.

Accumulating/buying BTC on this price is also a good strategy because we are on the dip and I hope the market will recover soon, Goodluck.

you should never hold any altcoins if you are seeking profit because profit is not what you get from holding altcoins. you can only gain profit if you trade pump and dump altcoins. holding altcoin is only valid if you find an interesting project that you like and want to use/support so that you buy some of it, forget about profit making and enjoy the technology. otherwise if you seek profit then look at the charts and see which coin is building up a pump and then jump on board and make the profit and run out before they dump on your head.

still, continue to survive and collect as many coins at a price this low. the result of all this will be felt when the markets returned to the course to shine. It's not just about hold the bitcoin alone, however many also altcoin that will increase and this be a good thing to have to put on hold.

I still do hodling some coins, i still has hope that the coins that i kept will show it's fangs in the future.
And in term of profit it should generate more profit that keeping bitcoin, because of the limited amount of fund that i had.

Yes I am still holding altcoins and simply waiting for a recovery. I wish I could add more but I have already exhausted my funds so I am just watching right now.

Yes, i'm still hodling some coins in my wallet. The reason is, i'm still waiting for the condition to be better. and I won't selling all the coins that i keep in the current market price, cause that would be a loss if i do that.

thats the champions spirit :D like you said you can always get it again if you done it one time.

i have always been only a BitcoinHodler hence the username here!

i never understood why people hold altcoins either. they have always been inferior in long run when it comes to profit anyways. the best amount of profit from altcoins has always been gained in short term trading them when they are getting pumped. after that it is only losses.

That is the wrong thinking, I am afraid. If your portfolio is mostly composed of alts, then there is nothing wrong in converting a part of that to Bitcoin. But you should not do that now, as the prices are very low.

That is a very wise strategy, however when the market picks up again a lot of new capital from institutional investors will be seeking out the top 5 to 10 alternatives so you might find there's some value in adding those to your portfolio not just Bitcoin

altcoin holding is much dependent on team which is behind the project because if team does some innovative ideas and implement it then only investors will come to invest and price will raise so depending on which altcoins we have invested we should decide weather to hold or take what we got 

Exactly, if everyone here will hodl your btc coins then it would go higher as demand will rise. Investors will love to see the price went down and I think they will seize the time to accumulate many. Poor buyers last year they suffer a huge damage or loss here. Better to wait for it to climb up but beating the 20k ath is rough and not easy to do.

Low prices do not matter, it is important to accumulate a little bit of this strategy and we will have large rewards, plus the latter may be 2019 price increase again. That is a terrible profit for those who know this small and light investment ;D.

Yeah, for sure btc will remain the king to be honest for now I'll be adding sats to my stack. Probably will get some cheap ETH as well. As for other coins, I'm not planing on investing yet, as there's a possibility you could choose one that will die.I think it is a safer play to accumulate as much btc as you can and when the correction is finally over decide where to invest.

For the moment I'm trading this for sats https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/457359982346633227/515633840824254465/XLMBTC.chart.png

It's been a nice way to adding to my stack

there is no reason for me to sell the altcoin for now, what else is the price so low, until everything is back new I will sell it.
of course it takes patience and a strong heart to overcome it.

My portfolio doesn't have any alts, well tiny bit of eth. As for the other alts, I still be patient to get my hands full of cheap coins. It will take a while for that to happen though, that is why I'm acumulating as much btc as I can atm.. so when there's time to buy and invest more in btc with fiat, then I do my alt coin buys at cheap sats. More or less that's the plan.

Well I’m still holding my altcoins waiting fir their price to rise up again. And also waiting for the BTC and ETH to still go lower and will buy as many as I can. It’s a good strategy of almost everyone of us here, buy low then sell high when the right time comes.

Bitcoin and altcoins were fallen all this year so it is nothing wrong to hold the altcoins just like someone is holding bitcoin but if you are only holding your altcoins then better convert some of them into bitcoin now to have little bit security to your investment because when holding the bitcoin you may feel like holding the best of cryptos every created so chance of failing is low.

I sold all the altcoins and replaced them with USDT or Bitcoin. Because this makes my money safer, I also choose to wait instead of leaving!

thats really nice strategy my friend
in my opinion at this moment its better to convert your altcoins to usdt if we comparing with USDT rather than Bitcoin  ;)

I hold all my coins as this is the right thing to do at the moment and add some if possible. Accumulate as much as we can in this time of crypto crisis because this is temporary and eveything will be on track soon.

I will not sell my altcoin at the moment right now. I lost 80% of my money in 2018. I was no longer afraid of market collapse. What I need to do now is Hold.

I bought Bitcoin this week and saved it because I think Bitcoin can not only be a safe haven for low-priced markets, but also be loved by many investors!

no, I don't hold my coin. I already sold it when the news about the decline in prices spread, I was lucky to sell before it declined. but at the moment I'm monitoring price developments and will buy more coins to invest.

There are lots of coins that has good potential in the future. Only the money is lacking for me, because this time the market is down and this is the right time to buy for more coins as a long term investments. For now I wanna buy coins and hold until the price gets boom in the future.

I have already sold my position and moved to stablecoins. Best decision I did this 2018.
Now I can regain back what I sold some months ago and even increase my position.

I still have some coins in my wallet, and i'm not planning to sell them, cause it would be a loss if i sell it right now.
I will patiently wait until the price rise again and the coins give me profit.

collect as many as possible at the moment is a lot of things to be done. indeed probably feels old but if you want to wait and hold then Ascension arrived and it will be able to give a profit. and not just a few but bitcoin another altcoin also quite worthy of belonging to the highly anticipated Ascension.

Sure I am still holding coins, because there is no other opportunity at the moment. I do not want to sell by such prices, thats why I am trying to invest more at the moment and to collect the most possible amount of perspective alts.

It's too early to sell your tokens. That's as soon as we see bitcoin for $ 20,000 and then you can think about it.

We must be realistic, last December was an unreasonable rise in the bitcoin exchange rate. Expect that in the near future we will see a similar development of the situation is not worth it.

Same for me, but I do accumulate Bitcoin and as well, Ethereum is order to diversify my investments. I do also look for something else to invest.

For me I'm still holding btc and eth. I want to buy some eth and btc but unfortunately I have no funds as of now. I'm positive that the market will recover even though that a bull won't happen this year.

Yes, it was a good lesson and in the future I’d hardly be able to diversify my partfel so that 90% of it is in Altcoins, which I did not merge into +. You will have to top up Fiat quietly in order to balance the portfolio and increase the bitcoin share. I believe that its price will be higher today in a few years

Yes still holding few of them.

There's still hope for few of them so I'm remaining holding it together with my bitcoin. And I'm having this feeling that the correlation between them and bitcoin is still intact so once bitcoin starts to get into bullish again then these alts shall follow.

We only have arbs and a few npxs tokens as everything else got wiped out in the bear market. We do want to start accumulating some COSS tokens again and some of the bigger ones, except Bitcoin cash and bitcoin sv, which i think are terrible coins as they caused all of this latest market crash nonsense and should not be on the CMC at all. I would like to accumulate more tokens and coins in the bear run and BTC of course it it takes time to get the funds in a bear market so would like to trade and earn as I can no longer earn much from any other courses.

Ofcourse yes, this is a great opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency you can buy in cheap prices and fill the bags. If the value pumps you can make good profit and I am sure it will not take longer time, I guess there might be a surprise for this new year in market as a lot of speculations are going now regarding this.

Currently I am still holding all my token because there is no point in selling them this low. Lucky I had earned a good amount last bull run so somehow I have extra for daily expenses.  I do not want to sell my holdings and accumulate BTC because I believe it is more profitable when we are holding a promising token or coins during BTC bull run.

Good  for you that you still have enough to finance your needs, those who are not ready with this downfall really feel disappointed as the market this year really falls to hard after the big rise last year, accumulating btc is good for people who have larger savings, as they will be able to hold and wait until the next bull run will show up and meet another new height.

I am also holding my coins, I don’t think this is a good time to sell the coins if there isn’t any emergency. OP is smart to accumulate BTC at such times, I tried to buy as well within my means.

Trading to accumulate BTC is the way to do it, dip in and out of alt coins as liquidity permits, then jump over to Bitmex when you're ready to make life changing amounts.

That's what we do at Voodoo Crypto, and we're excited at the prospect of another few months or more to trade up our BTC stacks before the next bull season!

If you want to join the fun, you can find them through my profile.

for me btc will not be the king,. btc is completely obsolete. id rather look for altcoins that has good economy usecases such as supply chain, protocols, etc. . We all know that google replaces yahoo and facebook replaces friendster.
Thats a very good clue. If it's not eth, then it's rather, EOS, CARDANO or Vechain. But personally i dont have cardano and eos, i don't want to over diversified. I hold vechain and eth and i will sell my position to the next UPM. DYOR

Sure, there are examples like Google overtaking Yahoo, but there are also examples like Netscape morphing into Firefox and still being relevant years later.

The problem with that line of thought though, is that you miss the nuance that Bitcoin is much, much, more than just a company.

Specifically, Bitcoin is the first of an entirely new type of asset class, defined by its breakthrough concept: The third evolution of accounting.

First, people wrote things down. I have X and you have Y. Civilizations were born on that most basic premise. Then, the second evolution: two people write things down. We both say that I have X and you have Y. Talk about an explosion in human achievement in finance, and through finance all of civilization, from the 11th century onwards that this discovery facilitated! Now you have a three person accounting system where not only do we both write down that I have X and you have Y, but every person on the Blockchain together verifies that truth. Now there is no question of whether I have X and you have Y. Nobody can challenge that, as it is written in stone. The scope of human achievement this unlocks over the next millennia are unfathomable, but it all starts with Bitcoin.

BTC Vivat Rex Bitcoin! BTC

I still hold Altcoin and this is a long-term investment by looking at this situation, only I save it for the future and if there is a good chance for me to waste then I will use that opportunity as well as possible.

There is no way to accumulate more SATs if you don't buy alts so holding just btc will not give more SATs and accumulating more alts can, so it now depend on how fast and easy trade you made with it and if it turn to lost of SATs then may be you just have to hold or sell and buy any other one moving in favour.

Yes, until now I still save altcoin because I believe that the altcoin that I have still has a good opportunity for future investment, but not all of them, the potential and good altcoin that I keep

Collecting coins, for now, is very important because the price of coins decreases. I also trade every day because the prices of all coins easily change up and down very quickly. If you think now not to sell coins, it's better to invest. By investing more, the market price of crypto coins moves positively.

for now holding coins is the best way to see crypto prices that tend to fall ... for investors this is the right time to invest as much as possible ...

yep, im still holding my coins because i dont have problem holding it then ill sell my coins prices arent bad.

Sure there are ways..

I've been trading some alts with some success in higher time frames and recently found this approach for day trading which is quite nice as I don't have to have TA on 100 different coins

I'm using an approach based in compounded growth rates. Basically taking quick in and out trades of 3% gain 2% stop-loss (buying and then selling alts) in small time frames to accumulate btc.

I'm using these free signals which are posted every couple of hours, some trades have been quite fast and some others have taken as much as 4 hours. On Fridays they release a bunch of signals for everyone in the channel (not sure but I think every 10 minutes or so). Excited to see how this works having more charts, so far it has been good but as I’m new to the approach it’s been a bit of a challenge to understand how to read the depth chart properly - sometimes I could have avoided a 2% stop if I had a bit more expertise reading the chart. Glad to share this experience as I've been trying different trading methods and from what I've learned in trading choosing an approach that works for you and applying it consistently is a key for success, if you wanna check it out this is their discord  Voodo crypto  (https://discord.gg/TbYwFNp)

Now that we are pumping at least for a bit.. quite a few coins going mad.. good day to stack up some btc. Following some  depth chart analysis (https://discord.gg/TbYwFNp) with these bad boys:

Not sure this are investment times for alts yet though..

Is now be strong a holder.  ;)

I could if have any BTC in value small it’s very difficult to have a big advantage. so it should be a players minimum and maximum, then you will got investment is profitable.

Really something good anyone Holder, some Token I never yet to sell but I still holding and always holding and following the projects. Because I’m still long-term.

It is good to accumulate as many bitcoins as possible, but personally I still keep all my altcoins, in the hope that the market will recover and prices will rise significantly. In addition, one should always diversify risks and not keep everything in one coin, even if it is Bitcoin.

of course if at this time it's better to collect BTC and save it, no one ever understands that in the future there will be more price changes, all investors will surely wait for that beautiful time.

it is absolutely meaningless and not right to sell your coins so cheaply, as they will definitely give more profit in the future

Nah, there was no reason to hold alts during the bear season (Maybe some exceptions like Quarkchain when it's price was growing after a huge dump).
But right now... it makes sense to get some alts together with accumulating BTC.

I still hold it aside because I still hope the price will soar another reason is because I really can't do anything but just hold back the cause because the price is too cheap even not worth the transaction fee I have to pay so I still hold it.
I can only hope that in the end it will not be a useless coin

Of course, I still believe in the long term cryptocurrency and continue to invest my money in it

It is necessary to start producing crypto-horoscopes and prediction maps, I think it will be more popular than analytical reviews.   :D

Still holding my BTC and buying gradually. I can't sell at such low prices. Also, altcoins like XRP, XLM and ETH is also what am bagging, I just believe they have higher chances of giving more return.

I will certainly keep on their coins and in any case will not sell, even if now Bitcoin will grow to 8 thousand dollars. In 2019, it is more likely to reach 20-25 thousand dollars, and the entire market will grow accordingly.

altcoins that you mentioned above are still dependent on the value of bitcoin . if btc falls all alts will also fall , so i suggest dont buy alt too much .  instead foccus more on bitcoins because this is the only way thay you can help in order for the scale to move upwards   .


thats right .  you should hodl and buy for now because selling is not the best idea to do , knowing that the market is still experiencing a bad condition . but theres noting wrong in disposing some of your hodling , if ever you really need the money for the upcoming events such as christmas or new year  .

Last time when the prices went up, the exchange rates for alts went up much more than that of Bitcoin.

Ye, growth rate for alts is more higher than for BTC. Sometime BTC growth on the 10% can lead to alts growth on the 50-60% without any fundamental reasons. Only strong market growth. That's why I hold some alts not BTC only

Altcoins are having both big advantages and big risk levels. But considering to avoid unnecessary risk, many people including myself not showing interest to invest in altcoins.

I believe that will not be a very big mistake of life time because bitcoin is performing well to get good returns for my capital. I am still holding regardless of what other people are suggesting here and there. I believe into bitcoin and its potential and moreover into its bright future hence I am happy with my holding.

yah, hold for lifeee  8)

I'm actually trying to accumulate as much as I can coins/tokens of projects that I believe in long term. So not really acquiring sats, I'm not even holding some big amount of BTC. I think there are a lot of great projects out there which are at bargain price now. So yes bear market sucks, but it gave me another chance to load up on those great projects. So, yes still holding and trying to accumulate as much as possible.

What is that? Seems like an advertisement of your chat , I don't know if it worthy or not. Tell me more about it. What do you discuss there?

I hold many altcoins not ready to let go anytime soon, i don't have huge fund to buy bitcoin i won't have big amount of bitcoin if i buy bitcoin i prefer to hold more altcoins.

Sold all altcoins on the last big rise in April. Then I keep and trade only Bitcoin. Now, slowly, the alcoins began to be purchased again, the bottom is close, and catching knives is very dangerous. We may still see a new bottom, but it will not be far from the previous one. So even in the middle term you can already buy.

I, too, hold on them, but sometimes, if possible, sell the coins when the price allows to do that. I prefer not to sell at a loss, but analyze the market and if I see that the project developers aren't working on the project, I'd rather sell with a small loss than wait for the coin to drop to zero.

I'm holding very little altcoins. I have some ETH, BCH and SV. I got most of it for free and I'm still ready to wait for them to enter bull market. I don't like BCH or SV but i also don't want to sell anything in this bear market. There's still big reversal in the air. I also have bitcoin rhodium that was airdropped earlier this year.

At the moment, it is not necessary to sell, but it is better to keep all your coins, as the market will also fall and grow, but it will grow in 2019 one hundred percent.

When prices are way too far from the real price that you bought it, there is no way to sell them at such prices. Your plan is to gain not to lose, so accumulating as much as you could is a good and wise choice than selling. A bearish market is a time for accumulating and not for selling, diversification is not needed when we are already at the bottom.
