Bitcoin Forum

I've been accumulating btc ever since the huge dump in December, now I'm switching to alt-coins. I strongly believe that alt-coins will experience a mini bull run vs btc in the following months.
I'm thinking to split 20% btc 15% eth and 65% other alt-coins.
Up until now I've accumulated, in the latest 3 weeks, several strong alt-coins but I'm also willing to gamble a bit with lower market-cap projects with strong development and community. That being said, right now I've already bought or I'm looking into:

Kucoin shares
Zilliqa
ZCash
Elastos
Webdollar
Dent

What you guys think? What would you improve?
What projects do come to mind if low market-cap projects with active development and lots of potential is the goal :D?

Any comments would be great! Thanks!

I dont know if you were really familiar with those coins because I have not read about it yet maybe you know well about it and I dont know anything to it, Since you were holding btc since december why you dont want to stick with it? since the price are silently doing some noise rather than gambling to a coin that is not well known in the market. This is just my suggestion in the end your decision will do.

PS: I saw the price of dent and webdollar, you better avoid those coins also the ziliqa

yes, a good altcoins will follow bitcoin
i think KCS, ZIL, Zcash and Elastos is good choice, but i have a doubt with webdollar and Dent
maybe you can replace both with Ethereum or EOS my friend

Everybody is looking for low market cap coins with 10x or more potential, but, I'm afraid other people's opinions can't help you, really. I used to buy crypto based on opinions of so called experts. Sometimes they were right, more often not so. I might have had better chances to guess it right by flipping a coin. Or even better, not being lazy and doing my own research.

That being said, here are some of my thoughts about some of them:

Kucoin shares - not really crypto, similar to shares in any other company. The question is how much do you trust Kucoin?
Zilliqa - competitor of Ethereum, with some novel technological achievements, for example, sharding
ZCash - privacy coin with optional privacy??, I personally don't like the power the dev team has given to itself.

I hope you can try to avoid to invest in zcash and dent. both look so terrible for me because it was getting dumped by the developers and just try to put it in another coin rather than getting dumped by the developers and your money will have gone. We have a lot of potential coin just like veil and sins. it much better to buy masternode rather than put your money on dent webdollar zcash and zilliqa. They are all having a lot of issues and lack of update.

If I'm in your shoes, I would put majority on bitcoin though. Nothing against altcoins but it seems that most of the coins you listed as just for pure pump and dump scheme. Why not go 60% of bitcoin and spread the next 40% of altcoins? I'm just curious though as to why you chooses those altcoins. Did you DYOR or just join the bandwagon? Anyways, I'm not good at giving financial advises, so best of luck to you and your investments.

You should prepare for the Altcoin now because the Bitcoin is reviving it's value and trying to cross the $6000 foot mark which is very crucial point to further upward travel. But, still the Altcoins prices are now on the ground level and if increase it will be a sudden spike. So, you have to act now for investing into altcoins. Choose the ADA and TRON for your first choice.

Things look like it'll be Bitcoin the one experiencing a bull period very soon and then alts will follow the same uptrend. With that in mind, it's a pretty bad idea to completely switch to alts.

I feel like your allocation on alts is a bit excessive. Just because your going to invest in more low market cap coins (which is a terrible idea to begin with, if you ask me), doesn't mean that you'll profits will be bigger, in fact, you're actually risking some of your investment in those coins since they're nothing but a gamble, they may or may no increase in value in the long run.

I bought these tokens within the last three months:
Atomic Wallet Coin (AWC)
Cosmos (ATOM)
Digitex Futures (DGTX)
BitMart Token (BMX)
I hope that by the end of 2019 I will get a good profit!

I don't have anything to improve with the set of your choice for different altcoins that you may distribute that 65% of your total portfolio. With my experience of those alts that you are eyeing, those low cap coins, I wouldn't take a gamble with those.

My experience wasn't so good and that's why I'm staying with the best altcoins and I guess you know all of those. It may be bad for me but if you're rooting for that kind of strategy, just be sure that you are aware of the consequence and risk that may be involved.

I wouldnt take it for guaranteed that alts will follow BTC in a bull run, especially your mentioned low cap coins like dent. You could see that BTCs price moved up in the last two month, but none of the major alts really followed this movement, except ETH.

There is no best way to invest in cryptocurrency than to diversify since i was doing this for lony time now and i am proud to say that this is effective

Your sets.of altcoin is good and i must admit.that i don't have that all because all my assets are intact for this whole year and just waiting foe my sell off

Continue you plan and stick to that, never be distracted by ths market flow and believe me profit is in your way

To be honest, I know about Zcash, Ziliqa, Kucoin but I don't know the rest of the coin.
For the three coins I mention, I think those could have the potential to increase.
But it seems, the last three coins is a new project which doesn't have a history before so I think you need to be careful if you decide to buy the coin.
Many other coins could be potential in the future besides those three coins.
But make sure you analyze before you buy.

This coins has the potential, to have a good run when the price of bitcoin goes up.

In 2017 though, I mostly invested on the top 10 coins and just waited for the perfect time to dump it and book my profits. I'm also not familiar with the other 3, but it seems the OP did his own research so it's his call and goodluck.

Wow. Didn't expect so much replies. Thanks guys for all the advice!

I will modify my allocation to 50% btc, 15% eth, and keep only 35% for the altcoins. I agree that keeping a bigger chunk of btc is safer.

I'll have a better look into my list and reassess my selection. I'll probably remove DENT for starters. Looks that new coins are being dumped on the market constantly. Also I'll look more into top 30 coins and check them out. There are a lot of good coins out there but I wouldn't want to have too many in my portfolio.

Thanks again guys, I really appreciate your inputs, hopefully the next bull will be kind to us :D

I think the smart move was already buying Bitcoin up in bulk. There can never be a wrong step in accumulating Bitcoin, but I would still put my money in established alts with much more growth left like Monero and Litecoin. I can never really be convinced to put more than 1% into any of the coins you mentioned, simply because there isn't any utility for any of them. Like it or not, there's just a few coins we can actually use.

Good idea buying some altcoins for diversification.

I'm good with Kucoin shares & Zilliqa.
Privacy focused coins like ZCash might have a hard time in the future - that's why i try to avoid them.
I wouldn't invest in Elastos, Webdollar or Dent - they only have been hyped during the 2017 bullrun.

Good performing alts of 2019 are Litecoin, BinanceCoin & BasicAttentionToken. Digibyte is a "sleeping giant".

There is no need to look out for a coin beyond the top 100 by marketcap.
The upwards potential stays basically the same.

Bitcoin has gained new growth in May but altcoin has yet to show a big recovery in this market. I think we will have to wait more because altcoin is not a target for investment this year. If you want to invest to earn good profits, wait until 2025 because it's a time when a lot of big news will appear and during that time you should prepare more new knowledge as it will Help you very well when the market enters the recovery phase

I do not think that now is the right time to transfer funds from leading coins to altcoins. The conversion of money from alts to bitcoin is still taking place. Many of my altcoins are getting cheaper vs bitcoin and ethereum. This may continue for many more months.
According to the charts: https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/ it can be seen that the rise in BTC domination is likely to continue.
So, not yet time.

this is a very good speculation, bro, by buying bitcoin and other altcoins, you will get a big profit, now the market has begun to stabilize you really have confidence

currently the price of bitcoin is unstable, the price keeps changing in a matter of days even in a matter of hours.
but there are altcoins that are not affected by that, depending on the DEV who are determined to maintain the price or even continue to increase it.

Only altcoins with a working product will follow bitcoin when its price goes up.  The rest will continue to go deeper till they die. I have invested into bnb, stellar and atom.

There's always quality alts that will also gained interest from the traders and investors while bitcoin is rising, projects that really got a good potential and usable products, they will begin being noticed as community will find other side of their investment portfolios, picking those who already manage the bear seasons will give you some advantage, as they have a working supports coming from community not to allow the value being dumped to hard and now start to find its way back.

I like the distribution of the way you are looking at investing, 20% for btc is good especially with the recent bull. 15% for eth is also cool but I think you consider buying litecoin in the 65% you allocated for altcoins.

I think you should keep accumulating as much as you can if you have the chance, this is because the market in general is still in the accumulation phase, and not only are you accumulating, but all the whales of Bitcoin and Altcoins, your Wallet is fine diversified, you must have a lot of patience because the movements that can occur in the market are often slow.

The important movements in the market usually occur at the time you least expect, this is calculated by the Strongh Hands or the Market Makers, in order that they can have gains due to their movements, either raising or lowering the price of the coins When you accumulate many currencies, it is best to wait until the bitcoin takes its bullish trend phase, because when the trend begins, the prices of the Altcoins begin to rise progressively, this only happens when the market is in trend, the rest , depends a lot on the volatility, do not sell cheap, if you wait the necessary time, you will have many benefits, it may take a long time to increase in price, the important thing is that you are prepared.

In fact, really decent altcoins now a little. I would rather leave most of the funds in bitcoin, and the rest of the funds divided into other coins.

You really have a good plan but the probability of other altcoins grow against bitcoin is not there and you should do yourself a favor by buying those altcoins that has done very well in the past and are trying to recover now.  Many of the altcoins you see in the market now may not going to exist in future and some are dying.

I suggest that you should cross out dent on your list,
I don't really think that that project would really get a nice pump even if the bull run start.
I suggest Dash because of it's masternodes and it is always on the list of top 100 crypto.
I always like masternode because you could gain more just by staking it.

It is pretty obvious that Bitcoin is the most profitable coin in the market but we can't decline from having altcoins as our second choice. Only we need to choose the best amongst them cause of its numbers, it could be better to have those coins belong in the top 20. There we can make profits rather than of choosing the list provided by OP.

We should always look into this one and don’t invest into other coins that has no use in the market. You have great coins and seems like you are already prepared for the altcoins pump. The season of altcoins will soon to happen because bitcoin is on the pump again, i still see ETH to rule the altcoins but I also see big potential on BNB and a new coin Atom.

Investments in BTC and ETC are already irrelevant, you need to invest in IEO, it is important and safe, but you need to choose the project for investment wisely. By the way, you can pay attention to this project http://gexan.io/

well nice strategy good luck with that, It is good to invest altcoins now because bitcoin  already reached $6000 and I'm sure one of your altcoins will bull run.

I agree with your idea because Bitcoin has surpassed the price of $ 6,079. Therefore, the crypto market in the future will be very dynamic and attractive. I will buy some Altcoins that I like the best and wait for the bright to happen in the near future.

I think bitcoin should be a priority on this preparation not more on altcoin because you know bitcoin is the only one coin that sure can made good return and in fact alts always suddenly change direction when there's a rally. so IMO 65% on altcoin is probably not a wise choice mate because they're uncertain .

Tell me, on what platform or exchange will the selling process of the GEX token be conducted?

I saw your portfolio and you put 65% in altcoins. I think you must think twice about it. In my opinion, its better if you put a huge percentage of your investment in Bitcoin or maybe in Ethereum. We know that these 2 will give a huge profit in the long run.

I already holding some ETN since I believe that this will bloom in the future. I'm holding also Matrix AI Network tokens since last year but only a few amount. I invested most of my money in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

I heard GEXAN launched airdrop? The entrance is free?

More information can be found here https://p2pb2b.io/token-sale/GEX

DENT? you're adding this shit to your list when its all been dumped already. dent has its used of course but its easy to have access to the internet now, you don't even have to use dent tokens anymore as wifi is free everywhere unless you stay in the very remote island. stick with the ones on top. Zilliqa is acceptable because we all know its potential.

You have chosen some potential coin for your investment that is the really right decision by you I think. From the last spike of BTC suddenly from 4k to 4500 we are seeing the fall of ALTs coin. Because the altcoin trend is now against bitcoin trend. And now If BTC up then ALts start to dump. So we should wait more time to see ALTs bull run with btc. And the time is very I think. Let's see what will happen with ALts coin

Altcoins for now does not seem to have a good market price compare to btc. I just thought that it could move faster than BTC since its market price has influenced by it. However, it is not happening. Like I always thought for ETH and other strong crypto that will be dping great in the process of recovering its current market state while bitcoin also currently recovering.

will definitely reap success if you process it properly and correctly. the most important thing when preparing for the altcoin season don't be rushed and confused in choosing altcoins because it is also for your own future.

Thanks for the link. Sales will start tomorrow, I think that GEX can make good money.

I'm loading up on the Halo platform because it's one of the fastest blockchains (if not the fastest) out there. They have 250 millisecond block speeds, 4 blocks in a second. And the best part? All transactions are FREE. They have an amazing ROI masternode system with cloud hosted MN's that you can setup with 3 clicks without having to sign up for anything, you can do it all through the Browser extension or desktop client. They also have the best DEX around IMO since they can do coin wrapping (BTC, ETH, USDC markets) and you don't have to pay for gas costs to put transactions on the smart contract --- www.halodex.io

They're also about to launch their Centralized Exchange which will have margin and leverage trading and the charts/trading screen will be fully customizable with drag and drop boxes. They're also about to release a Texas holdem game on the blockchain (they already have a dice game and dragon racing game Blockfight.com and draggindragons.com)

Here is a comparison of Halo to the other top platforms. They can pretty much match everything except martketcap.

That would be in the right time and a right choose of coins to hold for the coming bull run. Giving trust into our holdings will give a positive impact to our self. Altcoins prices remain  calm at this point even BTC is already soaring high. We have to take time in buying more altcoins cause who knows that in the next couple of days we saw bull run again.

Webdollars and Dent are horrible projects. I would not invest on them thinking in long term. They are just project that receive some money in exchanges with fake volume. You could lose a lot investing on them.

Not wont really be an easy task to be done or simply making investments without even have that kind of confidence on trusting up the coin you have bought.The price of alts as of this moment arent still recovering but somehow showing up some green candles.For new projects, seeking up the best one wont really be a simple thing.We can make preparations but the final verdict would still depend on your analysis and hopes.
It can give out significant profits if it succeed but on equivalent you should aware on the risk.

Tactics you want to try is recommended by everyone and more logical way. I do not have information about 2 of listed, but others can be tried. Also, you should separate some amount for those who are more risky.

Only 25% for btc ? And 65% for alts  ? Hmmm i think its better if you increase your btc investments more than alts because alts are only following the trend of btc   . btc will give you more income in my opinion   . by the way i only recognize 3 coins on your list and those are kucoin shares , dent , zcash  .  i dont know the other 3  ,  are those coins new ? 

It probably new and never have a good market investment. I've never considered those coins listed OP instead, to look after to those altcoins belong to the top 10 in the market. There I could get assurance that I can have returned from my money invested with them. But of course, it takes time and we must have to manage them well.

65% of altcoin is a big consideration because of this market people invest more in altcoin. I think long-term investment will bring a lot of profit if you have a good psychology when the market starts to rise. Of course there is a lot of risk to do that because in the last few days only Bitcoin has increased and other pennies are in very low prices making many people have a big loss in this market.

Token sales will start at 15:00 today, does it make sense to invest in it?

That are a good list OP, if you want to add more altcoins, i recommend bitcoin cash. I think you can get a good amount of profit if you invest on Bitcoin cash.

Also bitcoin price is really moving up right now, so it's a good choice too if you want to invest some.

Yes, it makes no sense to rush to choose. Many altcoins continue to fall in price. There is still plenty of time to get ready for the altcoin season.
Although BTC will accumulate money from other altcoins, I would not have thought about buying many coins. Even ETH vs BTC falls in price.

Bitcoin Cash often follows Bitcoin's uptrend and this is a very good coin to invest in this price increase period. I think holding BCH will bring you better returns because recently this coin is stable at $280 and always maintains great stability. Personally, I will not sell and will wait until BCH reaches $500 this year. There may be a loss but I believe BCH will be my best investment

Everything will change. The cryptocurrencies market has been existing for years. And each time when Bitcoin was going up, altcoins were trotting behind the leader. The same situation will happen this time. Bitcoin cannot grow "separately" It will pull tokens.
The best ones, which are called "stable" sometimes, will go faster. I bet, Ethereum must grow, and TRON.

Zilliqa is the best cryptocurrencies in your list above my friend
and maybe you should think about CARDANO too, because this one could be the next big thing in crypto industries

I would avoid the lower ranked coins and stick with ethereum, monero, and other well known brands. The market isn't big enough yet for investors to diversify so stick to safer options until there is a huge market cap with funds going into every corner

Good foru you to accumulate BTC at ridiculously low prices, very good call  but looking at the list of tokens above, I am not please with them, just maybe KCS reason being that it is exchange tokens. Good luck t you if or when you convert them to these tokens, I just have a feeling BTC is going to outperform many of these ALtcoin in 2019

altcoins will always follow the movements from bitcoin price,
because when bitcoin price rising, market capitalizations from cryptocurrencies rising too
thats mean a lot people drop their money to this industry again,
then people will start thingking how to increase their bitcoin amount and the best way by buying a good altcoins,  ;)

I would look at coins with less capitalization. I'm looking at quark for example, mft. But everybody new will look at old big coins like litecoin or eth.

I think you should not make such switch right now, that's risky and can ruin your all accumulation if it goes wrong. Also, there are much better altcoins in the market, only invest in true projects that may make impact in this space in the following years.

I believe this as well, however I don't think the time to switch to alts is just yet. BTC is still rising fast, and whilst some alts are also rising, they are not all rising as fast as BTC. So I would say BTC remains the safer bet for the short-term, and then once it starts to slow down it would be the time to move to alts... but that might just be me being a bit risk-averse :)

Choosing the big old coins will have benefits because the coins will have a history that we can use to analyze. But don't underestimate the other coins which have a low price than that coin because sometimes, the low price coin can increase without any notice and will be left the big old coins. So just prepare for the altcoin season and hope that the altcoin will rise in the right time.

He is not a expert in crypto market so we only suggest the best altcoins in crypto investment. Nowadays any beginners are trying to invest altcoin and Bitcoin but they don't know right coin in right time. If any investors are enter in the market you must choose the top 10 coins then slowly analyse the further coin is the proper guidelines of new Investors.

Kucoin Shares, Ziliqa, Zcash and Dent are good buys for me. They are alive projects, and their devs are really serious about making them boom. They were just hampered down by the plummet of the market. Well, anyway, even established altcoins were affected as well. Altcoins are correlationally proportional to BTC so if this pump will continue to bullrun, you'll definitely gain big in altcoins. Just be cautious and wise about the amount you will invest. Do not invest what you can't afford to lose.

It will be good if you will give explanation why you prefer coins "with less capitalization"? I have read many articles, journals and blog posts on cryptocurrencies and some of them give the advice of us investing on those coins with "high market capitalization" be in this market for long has also thought me that most coins with low market capitalization may not going to recover from the dump that happened in 2017. We are going to make profits if we can invest in those coins that has performed very well in the past in cryptocurrencies market and has good market capitalization.

This is a good list you have here.  I will suggest you add altcoin like BNB, Enj, Cnd, xbx. I believe that after btc run altcoin season will definetly follow

Out of all this low cap gems I think Kucoin shares and ziliqqa are the only two solid project in here that can easily give you a decent return,  I'm expecting Kucoin shares to reach $5 / coin

I agree with you that altcoins will experience a mini bull run vs btc in the following months or during the next two years, I think you need to re-split to 35% BTC 35% ETH and 30% other altcoins that have a market value of more than 2 billion dollars because that makes investments safer such as EOS, BNB, BCH, XLM ..ect, No one can clearly determine the price of any coin in the future, so If you feel confident in your choice of these altcoins with low market value, you can buy a small amount to start with and hold that amount in the long run, If you try to wait for the market timing you risk buying an altcoins at a higher price later. 

Not only new people, even the older investors will keep looking at eth as and some of these top ranked altcoins in the coinmarket, because I think they are the ones that will really have an outstanding performance during the alt season.

Looking at those altcoins now during this little bull run of BTC, we will see that they are really responding fast to BTC BULL, we can now see how perfect they will respond to their own season. One other coin that I am really hoping on is Docademic(MTC), the coin has really did so well after they were launched and I expect them to also move very high during the alt season because of the good product they have.

Someone must have been doing the wrong thing here... Switching from Bitcoin to altcoins is a very bad idea considering the bullishness of Bitcoin as of today. How would you think your altcoin will be worth than Bitcoin if you switch now?

If you are already in this market before you should have known better than switching to those altcoins.

I will better take time to learn more about the existing promising projects and invest money in them. I guess, BNB will be rising, Litecoin will go up again, Ethereum will continue the growth. Ontology looks good

I agree with you on Zilliqa especially with their recenet partnership with Unstoppable domains which is a pretty cool. I would also look into NULS especially with their active development in the space

I definitely agree with BND, CZ is the best CEO of any crypto exchange and even crypto projects. Binance will be here to stay and will just get bigger and bigger as they make most of the projects in crypto and dominates it

Altcoin season is coming. After bitcoin rise dramatically. I think it is time to altcoin rise too. Now the price still cheap and it is the best time to buy. Buy the potential coin like ETH, BNB, LTC,TRX, NEO, etc. And see the price will rising to the moon.

Upon my analysis, the investors and whales do not want to rush with the altcoins bull run , but rather want to study how stable will be for bitcoin.

I am currently speculating just like you and my portfolio is quite different from yours. I will make my portfolio and you can refer to it.
+ ETH ~ 61%
+ BTC ~ 12%
+ BQQQ ~ 20%
+ ADA ~ 17%
I only invest in some of the great altcoins. ADA is about to have great news and the community is expecting a lot from the pump price.
BQQQ is a new coin of CMC and it is being interested by many investors. But this is a coin exchange and we should hold it in the long term.
Its future will be similar to Binance and CEO is following every step very similar to CZ in the early days.

I've got more than ten altcoins into my portfolio, those weren't the one with big trading volume. During the 2017 market it rose high, and with an expectation keeping hold of it. Even if it experience good growth it isn't possible to reach the price touched during 2017, because in comparison to the 2017 price what we have at this moment is at least a 150% low. Everyone were with expectations of the altcoin season. Probably it will gets kick started soon as the correction of market has begun.

Your analysis can be correct but seen from the trend it looks like the altcoin will not be bull run easily, surely the price of bitcoin will change again because the price of falling bitcoin prices is just like a reasonable correction done by traders who take profits.

GRIN and XMR for the privacy aspect off those coins. It will always attract users and got the volumes. Give it a review OP.

we have to wait again, try to see the price of bitcoin because now I think bitcoin is trying to stabilize prices after the correction has occurred. if the price can be stabilized soon I think it's an opportunity for the altcoin to try to rise again. this is an advantage for traders, because long-term investors will definitely not predict this correction.

indeed it is necessary to analyze every current market condition to invest but if my advice is now altcoin is slow in price growth losing to bitcoin but this is the right time to invest, my advice is to choose coins that have active development such as bnb and ethereum

Altcoin is heavily impacted by Bitcoin and it is difficult to raise prices during this period because people tend to invest more Bitcoin and dominate BTC now 63%. I think it will be difficult to survive for altcoin during this time because altcoin's value will continue to decline in the near future and if dominance still does not decrease then you cannot earn any profit. I believe that July and August will be a very bad time for this market so be careful with your investment

That's right, BTC is a safe asset now because the crypto market conditions are fluctuating heavily. If you hold the current altcoin and bitcoin down then the altcoin will experience a bigger decline than bitcoin. So I now choose to hold bitcoin and wait for the price of bitcoin to stabilize and then buy an altcoin. Because it's useless to hold altcoins now, the price won't experience a big increase when bitcoin rises.

for myself, I will definitely prepare this year for buying lots of high-potential coins such as bitcoin and ethereum because this year the two coins will definitely experience a large price increase and the value is definitely high

I don’t even know if it makes sense to buy Bitcoins and ETH today, especially when the prices for these coins are already showing good results.  Two months ago, investing in Bitcoin ethereum looked much more profitable, and it would be necessary to show interest at that very moment.

After a quick look at the markets we are seeing the opposite, altcoins are losing less ground than bitcoin, this makes prefect sense, bitcoin was the coin in which most of the money was invested so it makes sense that it is the one that is crashing the hardest, of all the coins in the top 20 only bitcoin SV is crashing harder while the rest of the altcoins are presenting a positive revaluation against bitcoin despite losing ground against tether which is showing the biggest gains, but what does this mean? That an altcoin season has started? A correction has started? Or that a crash has started? No one really knows and that is what makes the market so exciting.

Yeah i also think it would be great if we bought bitcoin couple months ago. But if we buy it now, i think it is a little bit too late. My prediction, the price of bitcoin will still grow higher, although its too late, bitcoin will give you profit in the future if we keep it as long investment.

In the condition of the market now that btc is the strongly to gain the highest price and altcoin still hard to go in the flow, i think you can stick to btc for the better but of course there still alts that good to buy just choose wisely.

I hope I was at the moment before the bull run so that, I invested my money from there. I was really shocked and surprised when I saw the market full of green. But then, I never did anything than to ride. I am in FOMO but it worked. I gather some income recently because of altcoins and bitcoin pumps.

Because you will be in the competition with another trader to liquidate your altcoin to the bitcoin as soon as possible while that coin doesn't have a big volume to prevent it.
We will not see any bull trend for altcoin until bitcoin will have stabilized and the volatility gets decreased.

well.
i havent invested any of those cryptocurrencies except kcs. and kcs was a fail imo. because they couldn't be enough popular due to the popularity and power of binance exchange.

And as the last 24 hours showed, Bitcoin is as unstable as ever, but that's why we love it so much and why speculators just can't stop having enough of it. The warning signs were there though, altcoins were losing crazy ground the entire day while BTC was pumping, so you know people for sure were selling off alts into BTC, and then, when they stopped and sold BTC for fiat, everything collapsed.

Short term though and that's what happens when things go up so fast. It'll be fine.

That’s the big mistake you’ve had in life,because it bitcoin who grows much in this bullrun and altcoin stays behind mate.and until now that correction happen still alternative coins fell down as well

What I did is different from yours because instead of buying altcoins ,I sold some of mine and buy bitcoin to wait for this bull,now I need to buyback my altcoins since they will surely the next to pump

If you have not bought bitcoin for the price of 4000, then I am sure that you will not buy it at the price of 12k. Because people tend to doubt and this is their choice. Only risk brings good money. But you still have a chance to have time to buy Ethereum or other top coins, which are currently preparing to start  8)

The altcoin is waiting for the right time to get the bull run to happen, and that will happens no matter if it comes in the next months. I hope we will go to see a new thing in the Q3 this year and we could expect the altcoin will have the bull run. But with the down of bitcoin price, that will make some altcoin could increase from the last bottom price but the other altcoin still at the lower price. The chance of the altcoin to increase still wide open and we will see it soon, so you need to prepare your altcoin and place in the price you want.

Well
KCS
Zilliqa
Zcash is kinda fine

No sure with others, Webdollar seems sketchy for me (Never really read before it tho)

Diversify your investment is always good for risk management
But if you want a safer portfolio, BTC/ETH should have a higher share of % compare to alts imo
Alts are good in terms of profitability but not the risk control

Choosing altcoin over bitcoin is not a bad idea since the time will come that you will also earn profit. But it is not going to be as fast as you earn profit from bitcoin. The good thing about altcoins is it is cheaper and you can do a long-term hold and earn a lot if you do a long-term hold.

but as i understand by trading on altcoins in BTC pairs, there is a chance to increase our bitcoin amount
so, if you are a big fan of bitcoin, i think altcoins trading in btc pairs could be a good choice buddy
then, for long term hodl i think we should do a deep research first before decided to invest.

i am into vechain heavily this past few months because not only it is a good investment when it comes to long term and its good fundamental side of things. It also can profit while you are hodling it in your wallet, you can profit vethor just by hodling vechain which is very cool. Like you i strongly believe in alts too.

Altcoin will rise along with the increase in bitcoin, it is a fact that must have been understood by the players of the altcoin trading. They always observe the bitcoin price movements to analyze altcoin prices, if they are not vigilant, they will be trapped in buying altcoins whose prices are stagnant.
So, at the moment like now, the price of bitcoin is going up, it's good to buy altcoins that have good prospects like ETH, BNB, Litecoin or ZCash. Smart investment can certainly provide good benefits.

Well, that is why the values of these altcoins are seriously going down, because there are no large investors putting money in altcoins market yet and all their focus are on bitcoin for now, and I think the reason why it is so is because many of the investors and whales understand that this period is bitcoin season, and until bitcoin starts to go sideways before any of these large industries can ever consider looking into altcoins.

For ordinary investors, if we are wise, I don’t think we should wait till when very big investors and whales starts to pump the altcoins before we start investing, I think it is still best if we start making some moves now to accumulate as much as we can in these altcoins like the ones the Op mentioned and some of other great coins that are available in the market which can be gotten through people’s reviews or by checking the list of coinmarketcap.

I actually see if the market conditions are very good for daily trading. some altcoins make pumps, and the movement of bitcoin is also fast. I think it's profitable to trade. for the long term, altcoin might grow, but who knows for the future. everyone just speculates.

if I become you, it is likely that I will buy bitcoin, ethereum is enough for me. From these two coins it is very good for long-term investment and also the two coins that have the potential for all altcoin prices....?

It's a great idea to accumulate when most major alternatives still represent good value and you can choose either the top ranked assets which will attract a lot of institutional investor interest and perform well this year or lower ranked assets that have strong potential just avoid any that might be considered securities

In my opinion, it is a good time, Bitcoin rised fast and alts too, good alts now already at least 5X from early this year. I missed the opportunity to accumulate then while I will buy now... Hope it is still a good time, and maybe as Libra is a double edge sword it will bring more people to cryptocurrency and invest?

The projects I invest now:

Bittorrent
Stellar
Historia Network
RavenCoin
Mithrill
DGB

The altcoins market may not going to do too well this time around and it is better to stay with bitcoin than converting your bitcoin to any of the altcoin for now. Some of the altcoins that were performing very well in 2018 are currently down and it seems there may not recover this year especially against bitcoin.
