Bitcoin Forum

I'm not here to spread FUD before you start throwing accusations at me. I'm just saying though, Bitcoin is increasing in price, and it's probably a very wise idea to sell your coins and hold BTC at this point. I'm however not referring to alts like ETH, Tezos, LTC and the other solid ones out there. I'm mostly referring to the projects that have not followed the roadmap and didn't manage to deliver and let's be honest, there are plenty. Probably anything not in the top 15 in CoinMarketcap is not worth investing it (with few exceptions).

And apparently, there is some confusion within the community about price increases in CoinMarketCap and people think that everything is going up right now, which is not the case. The green numbers you're seeing in the price page don't represent much. If you click on the coin though, you'll see the price in Satoshi... that's the one that should be increasing.

I agree with you and i think with current market conditions and btc flying its better to hold btc or at max eth only because these two will be the first ones to boost when market sees increasing volume and fomo.

I partly agree with you, this is the time to dump everything, alts, wives, kids, houses and even your mother to buy bitcoins!!!

The crypto market is hard to predict and depending on just a single coin could have negative consequences.f you have a diverse portfolio, it would be wise to hold what you have or even start selling the coins which are in profit.
Diversification is not only a financial buffering for yourself but also is an contribution to the development of crypto industry.

I do not know . Bitcoin growth can be triggered by simply moving assets from alts to major coins. Because I see how some altcoins, despite growth, lose 50%. I really don't like it. It all looks like an artificial growth of the market.

We all have noticed it dude and we may think that the market today and its trend is having a bit different from the past.
Unlikely, we are able to see the entire market will turn into bullish but it only appears that BTC has huge inclines than of altcoins.
It may be we need some hypes to make the entire market grow as what it usually happen previously.

I agree that there are too many projects and most of them are empty. But we must not forget that it is better to invest only 10% of your portfolio in one cryptocurrency, even from the top 15, otherwise you can stay with nothing.

Is a good idea but always should not sell all altcoins for bitcoin, because maybe on bull run if will happen now we can have a good chance for some altcoins to grow more.

I think the bull can cause problems not only for working altcoins. But also in new projects. Who wants to invest in the growth of Bitcoin in a new project ... I think this will greatly affect the market. Projects will have to be moved so that investors stay with them.

I agree. When Bitcoin is being pumped, Alts ranked 11 and above have no change. It's better to switch Alts to BTC and hold it back than withhold Alts which only have a slight movement

Will happen only if the prices of bitcoin increased too much from the lower bottom, current value might not reaches that much amount but already can see some dump on bitcoin as well for the last hours which is a sight of buying altcoins?

yes it is the right choice for the current situation, the dominance of BTC keeps going up and alt alt down, it's time to sell altcoin.
i think when binance opens the deposit alt will drop again.

With the price of Bitcoin high, it could be the best time to buy promising alts. With the same amount of BTC, you can buy more amount of alts than you could have yesterday and as BTCs price is highly fluctuative, there are alts that shows higher degree of stability and return of profit.

The liquidity of alts is fake. What you see on CMC are fake numbers. If their liquidity can be faked, their price can be too. You'll realize your mistake when you try to dump them at the top. Only a few people can do it and those usually are the people who manipulate the prices in the first place.

Stay with the most liquid BTC if you don't wanna get scammed.

All my experience tells me that when I try to make smart investments, it turns out the opposite, so I just diversified my investments.

If you remember the market,then this situation is such that when bitcoin grows,it turns out that it first presses the Viola,and then it settles at the level of one,and then all the altcoins begin to grow very strongly and well,so I see that soon the viola will shoot strong

thats right, i agree with you buddy
diversified your investments is a good idea in all market conditions because thats will reduce the risk of investing my friend

I think that the idea as a whole is correct, but maybe people do not quite care about prices at BTC, people may be interested in prices in USD, this is quite likely, especially if people do not adhere to the cryptocurrency world as a whole. I think that there is no point in selling anything at all, but temporarily.

I guess we should dump the alts when the price is right since its a little bit too early right now to sell them because all of them had severely dropped in price due to the recent bear market. The best option for alt hodlers is to wait for the right time when prices have recovered before selling it based on your acceptable price.

You have done well but what you have forgotten to tell us is when to exit bitcoin after selling all our alts. In this market, giving investment advice is very crucial and must be disseminated carefully to avoid being blamed for failures

The bull run has opened up great opportunities for all, but majority of the increase we experienced is with btc. I've always heard that when bitcoin increases, most altcoin decrease. But this decrease may not be visible when the value of the altcoin is viewed in its dollar equivalent. Its best to invest more in bitcoin and ethereum in this season.

You've got good points. Alts will only move up when BTC starts moving sideways. Today I saw a post by Binance to reopen deposit and withdrawal on Tuesday , and many people are of the opinion that it will boost altcoin market. Well, I'm holding a bulk of my portfolio in BTC, and 40% in some cool altcoins which are undervalued presently.

Yes we are often confused with the effect of rising market prices or vice versa, we must really be able to understand it if there is an increase that sometimes has a negative impact on other Altcoins.
At present the situation has reversed and Bitcoin has begun to raise prices again after falling for a long time. Make a wise decision because all the assets we have now have a great opportunity to trade.

I just want to say that this condition is far better than in the past few months. When bitcoin is priced at $ 3300, I had a little panic and tried to sell it. But I did not do it, because I am optimistic that bitcoin will go up and the results are like currently around $ 7,000. I do not know that this good condition will continue to rise or vice versa, but I will continue to survive and expect above the price of $ 8,000.

Altcoins are going to show their full potential during the next several months. I disagree with you and believe that holding altcoins on such a market could bring you much more benefits than only BTC holding.

Yeeeesss, dump the alts when bitcoin dominance is just spiking higher and higher with not even a healthy uptrend, probably in will continue but in near future there will be more positvity in the altcoins market.

i am hoping that the current market situation is not a trap, this morning bitcoin went up to 7500usd down to  6800 this evening.. selling some alts in exchange to bitcoin is a good idea..

BTC got dumped hugely for sometimes although it has revovered a little. Was it a short time correction? If so, I too think that this is probably the best time to invest in alt because the price of altcoin are low against BTC.

Always safe to have a few million DOGE stashed away for a rainy day though

With a strong growth of Bitcoin, in any case, projects that work will grow. Now of course this is not felt but the bull in any case will shake the market.

That is why the price of coins always changes at any time because between them are always used for investment and trade so that when we see CMC charts in the green zone, it cannot be guaranteed, whenever they will change prices depending on demand and supply.

very wise advice because with the increase in new Bitcoin projects it will also be easier to develop so it is possible to rise differently from coins under Bitcoin, they are related to Bitcoin prices and if Bicoin continues to rise it can make altcoin lose investors because it can make investors prefer bitcoin and altcoin like ETH can go down.

I do not see the point of selling their altcoins, because they are so much fell in price that I do not want to bother because of such amounts))

Your advice is valid. If a project has stopped updating their Github, and always give excuses why road map has been delayed, and always post conflicting information, it's time to dump such project and roll with bitcoin, now that bitcoin is correcting. Just look at what happened to Digitex holders.

You probably just want to leave other investors to do there own research because if anything goes wrong and they sell the right altcoins and it does well you might be held accountable.
Bitcoin is the most successful coin but still doesn't mean we should dump altcoins

I wouldn't dump them all, rather go through and decide where to cut your losses. Better to recoup 25% than 0% when the exchange delists the coin before you get a chance to react (*cough* POLO, *cough* BITTREX). Whatever, i shouldn't be holding on an exchange, anyway.

agree with you, lets say goodbye to crypto shit together.
there are many projects that don`t give attention to their words and they put a shade on crypto world.
everyone thinks now that crypto is a toy or easy money, that is all because of such projects

This is a major fact and determinant of the actual growth of a new coin or token. Even if the USD price of a coin is increasing and the  Satoshi amount remains stagnant, then the token is not growing because any drop in BTC price is a direct corresponding drop in the value of that token.

It’s what every trader or holder should know that your alts coins suffers when bitcoin is mooning. Also attic care is needed when deciding on alts to hold because majority of them are just there to pick names and space. Never buy any coin you can hold for long term , if you do you will be fine with alts.

Your advise is nice, I guess you are talking about convert worthless coins to bitcoin but I think this idea is coming rather late to the forum or maybe wise holder of those worthless coins would have taken this action earlier already when bitcoin was still below &4,000. Hence with the price now, a nice profit would have been taken because nobody can predict if this bull will keep on going or it is going back south.

More and more people are afraid to play Altcoins. By this, I think that now is a good time to buy altcoins. The more fear in the market, the better price. Soon, many will regret having sold their altcoins.

but the fall in altcoins in price relative to Bitcoin is temporary. when bitcoin growth will slow down people will start to buy altcoins and then we will see a bull run of the altcoin market

Today, when Bitcoin fell quite strongly, as many as 700 dollars Altcoins did not fall further, because Bitcoin distribution is already very high, 57-60%.

yes you are right, we have to see the price of statoshi not from usd or eth. maybe it looks green but in fact the value doesn't increase. this increase may be good for bitcoin, but on the contrary the altcoin still has no significant movement this week.

but I will still wait, because the altcoin will eventually rise. it might be good to convert altcoin to bitcoin, but that is very detrimental for now because the price of bitcoin may not necessarily be higher than this.

Although you have a point but I don't agree with you on selling off your assets to just hold Bitcoin. That's a very bad strategy where you should  be diversifying your portfolio

You cant blame people if they would chose up to hold their shitty coins because they do hope for some bull run and those shitcoins they do hold will make them millionaire someday.We have our own mindsets on what we are currently possessing but its really ideal to completely switch up those shitcoins to btc yet we know that the benefits would be more worthy than just risking to wait up for your bag do blow up.
Even I do really have some shitcoins in my bag and still holding them and completely forget those things.

I agree with you totally about selling off altcoins because ever since bitcoin has picked in about a month ago or thereabout altcoins are just dragging their legs hence no any marginal nor significant growth, even ethereum is bad as we speak, I am regretting putting some fiat into it feeling I should have done btc instead

I will say your advice is a wise one but come to think of it this way if you can wait for such a long time before now hoping to see increase in the price of bitcoin and other altcoins then why be in a rush to sale your coins now and to even know they increase is so little at the moment. No one can predict what will happen in the future either our coins will keep growing or decrease. So the best this g for me now is to continue holding and waiting for the altcoins market to recover properly.

Mostly people want to get their income for a bigger investments only so in this situation the Bull Run will make everything to be a valuable investment so we need to wait for seeing the changes in the little valuable investments also then only we can made a conclusion by that.

The majority of the altcoin bitcoin to go out is a lot. That's why the subcoins are all falling. Bitcoin needs to stop for altcoins to increase again.

You wouldn't consider Omisego, Lisk, Waves, Walton viable altcoins since they aren't even in the first 30 on the CMC? Or these are the exceptions you referred to?

Actually, I don't think we should dump the alts for Bitcoin. This is even a good time to buy in because alts are normally drawn up once Bitcoin price begins to soar. People should look for those viable use-case altcoins and pile them up on purchase for a good ROI.

I agree that most of altcoins price don't reflect their real value. They are all hype and traders don't care about it as long as they can take profit. Real value should come along with development and it's weird to see most altcoins on market are overvalued while they don't have much development or any real use case yet.

Absolutely true, but unfortunately, there are plenty of altcoins as you say on the entire market. Even, those who follow the roadmap do not make it as expected. I think that the situation in the market also affects this, probably it will be better after increase.

Bitcoin price is going up and so does the price of most big altcoins in top 10 so most people will focus on buying this kind of coins instead of investing their money into projects that don't bring any profits these days and are not safe. So, instead of buying cheap altcoins hoping for a bigger return better start investing in coins that are already safe and trusted even though the profit could not be as high,the risks are smaller.

There's always a chance altcoins will be following bitcoin as they did in the past and as they are doing now. Altcoins are more volatile and they gain speed with everyday Bitcoin goes up. You could see that big altcoins like BCH followed Bitcoin right away but some shitcoins like SV needed more than a day to start their ascent.

I believe it's worth keeping some altcoins.

I agree with you. After Bitcoin shows good growth, then altcoins start to catch up with it. I think that in a few months altcoins will cost much more than they do now.

It is not a news that crypto enthusiasts are presently hiding bitcoin and are refusing to trade with it. Which is one of the reasons why we see a surge in the price of bitcoin and it seems to be dominating presently. As a matter of fact, it's dominance us on the high side.

for now the market is verging on the movement of Bitcoin which is quite good this month so Altcoin is also green on the market, maybe this is a good start for the future.

In fact, this decision must have been made since the price of bitcoin reached its minimum annual price a few weeks ago, because any movement we make about it, just now that the price has risen so significantly, could be considered as FOMO, a hasty and emotional decision.

It is precisely right now, when the market seems to be awakening after a long critical period, when we must be very cautious is each of our decisions, so I am not convinced that your proposal is the best right now.

No one will coerce me to dump what I am determined to hold.
I still believe that if I hold 10 good altcoins, at least half of it should be able to perform the purpose it is meant for. At least I should be able to get my profit from them.
The more we start thinking of dumping, the more me miss pur chances.

It is not 2017 that all coins rising during  the market pump, the investors are much experienced now
and supporting only projects with active development. By institutional investors entering the market
BTC will pump the first and not all the alts will follow. But, selling shitcoins at this point has not much
sense as majority of them are already valueless.

I'm selling some of my altcoins after seeing the green but unfortunately, the majority of the coins I'm holding right do not have a market, or on a waiting list to get into the exchange, kinda frustrating, you want to get rid of these altcoins for a profitable one but you just can't for lack of liquidity.

I agree in part, even though some altcoins are in green, the value of them compared to the value in bitcoin at the moment does not compensate the sale, some are below the value at which they started in the market = value in btc not in USD

All types of crypto have their own ecosystems and communities, maybe this is an FUD for those who have a weak community, so that it will have a bad impact. But this is also a news of assistance for coin holders who are unclear, which surely there is a party who loses.

Hmm, it seems that you are really a pro-btc. Well, that's good for you and for all of us of course because we are now able to have a taste of profit due to this uptrend. However, you can't please everybody to follow your advice. Don't get me wrong, I like your realistic perspective and I agree to you as well but you should also understand that there are investors who are never getting tired of hoarding different coins — some of them are daytraders but the sad fact here is that most of them are careless who easily clicked every time there's a new bait (like ICOs). But whatever their reason for doing such thing, it's not our business anymore. Let's just respect their own decisions and if they fail then let them make their own realizations. By that time I'm sure they already learned their lesson, avoid it committing again thus becoming a wiser crypto holder.

Thanks for the concern, but I am not dumping my alts anytime soon.
The marketcap increase due to the main effort of bitcoin, we can easily see that as the dominant rate have increase significantly also.
Altcoins are down even more than 10 times, dumping it now is a bad idea, HODL does not only apply in Bitcoin but in altcoins as well.

Of course, you are right, but if you sell some coins without thinking, you can lose a lot of money. You have to think very well before selling any coins.

The OP was reffering to altcoins that are out of top 15 and I think it would be a good idea to listen to this advice. Yes, hodling doesn't apply only to bitcoin it also applies to altcoins but if we are talking about altcoins that are not very popular the situation changes. Usually is a coin market goes wrong that's not going to change just because bitcoin market is going well.

I'm afraid this doesn't hold true anymore. Years ago, the only main currency pair to trade altcoins was BTC. There was a Litecoin pair but it didn't pan out. Anyway, back then altcoins were exclusively priced in BTC hence holding alts was a great way to multiply your BTC.

But now Tether and other stablecoins are liquid enough that almost all altcoins are now priced in USD.

You are just stating the truth and it is something that I am thinking as well, superficially it seems all the market is going up but if you are not invested in bitcoin then there is a very high change that right now you are losing money instead, this is what makes this market difficult to understand for newbies, even if your investment is going up in dollars that does not mean you are earning money, there are circumstances like the ones we are seeing right now in which an increase in the price in dollars does not reflect your profits in bitcoin when you are invested in alts.

Best idea is to find coins that have no significant growth yet after their ico ended If there is no major development in their part then my suggestion for you is to find a better coin worth buying and dump the ones that are becoming shiitcoin and the truth is major coins that had potential at the time ended-up becoming so serious disappointments

Well I would say no. You don't have to dump altcoins just like that. You need to take your time and wait for sometime until prices increase.

This strategy is a good one though. It's part of what is making Bitcoin to keep flying high because the more people dump the altcoin to buy Btc, the more the price of Bitcoin goes up

You are right but the problem is that most of those coins do not even have dumping value. Lol.. What's the need dumping a coin just to get $5 or even less.. That's a waste of gas fee if you ask me. The ones with dumping value, hmm.. They can get you regretting why you dumped later.. The thing is, one needs to be careful in making investment decisions now.

isn't the most important thing is how many dollars do you have in your wallet and how many dollars do you have in the price of coins? I prefer that the coin that I have has a high value when the estimate is with dollars not having a high value when the estimate is satoshi because the satoshi value can fall at any time and make the coin look expensive while if we add it it turns out that the coin is only a few dollars

If we have an altcoin that increases with the current price trend, of course we better leave it to BTC and wait until the BTC rises to the highest point, where we resell it to make new capital for trading activities again when prices start to fall because we are definitely understand all that current prices will certainly not last long for sure when there are big sales, selling panic will occur and BTC will also fall so fast.

I want to agree with you
With the run massive for over few days now and close to 8000$ per 1 btc
It is best to sell all altcoins that haven’t fulfilled or shown glimpses of being solid

Honestly, I can't clearly understand what you said. You are spamming signature, aren't you?
If you mean most of their price are far below the initial price, that's normal because they have no development yet and nothing you can do with those tokens. Would you buy a useless thing for a bunch of money? You wouldn't! that's why their price should be low.

Agree with this the market start recovering now so better invest in bitcoin it was for long term, if you are going to buy alts it was for short term never hold alternative coin in long term because when the bitcoin start spiking alternative coin would go down.

It’s s good idea to let go of the alts
I have such types of altcoin with me but it’s still of no value at the moment
I rather wait then trade them off

I will strongly advise against dumping alts especially if these alts are in top 50 position on coinmarketcap. This recent bullrun by bitcoin is an indicator that that there's more to come. I rather load some alts and wait for alts run

if we are going to invest in Altcoin, of course we must be smart in choosing it, and there are still many Altcoin that can grow and be profitable.
indeed Bitcoin will be profitable and he is a good coin but we also need big capital to buy it, so we must be able to determine which one to choose.
the market is now starting to look better, if Bitcoin rises, most Altcoin will also increase.

I see many of altcoin has got down, but I am not sure if many traders dump their altcoin to get bitcoin back and then sell the bitcoin to get fiat.
Maybe some of them has already sold their altcoin in the loose conditions because they cannot wait for a while or cannot be patience.
But when some of my altcoins can increase higher, I will sell all of the amounts to back to bitcoin and wait for bitcoin price to increase higher so I can sell bitcoin to make a profit in fiat.

good strategy, sell Altcoin with high prices and results to buy Bitcoin, but don't get it wrong time, because maybe Bitcoin will increase higher when you sell Altcoin.
but not all will throw Altcoin, because they can make money also from Altcoin, so not everything is bad and there are still many that can be profitable.

Bitcoin prices are on the rise. This is followed by the price increase of some crypto currencies. But not all prices of crypto currencies rise. There are still some crypto currencies whose values are still static. Therefore, we shouldn't sell our altcoins directly if we don't know the movements. If we want to sell then we should sell at a price that is quite satisfying and in accordance with our expectations. We must be smart in analyzing each coin movement that we want so that we are not wrong in choosing a trading strategy.

Hehee...and one funny thing is that immediately you decide to that, ALTs may unexpectedly explode and one may feel rekt. Well, as they say, you only lose when you sell. To me, I believe ALTs can make a comeback and hence I'm not dumping my holdings. If I didn't in 2018, then I'm not doing now!

Yeah, and in this situation we will going to wonder if someone will going to really stick to their altcoins and not gong to sell to bitcoin. Just remember, people will always support a crypto where other people are making hype on it. Just follow the trend, nothing negative it can imply. Just leave our altcoins behind for a moment.

I will not waste the alts that I have held today even though the value of the price of bitcoin and others have again raised the price, because even though I sell my alts at the current price I still have a lot of losses, and all that will worsen the altscoin price in the market , although many altscoin have not moved up the price, I think that I will again choose and buy an altcoin that I think will be able to rise in price again.

Our altcoins will have its time to pump, let's enjoy what bitcoin is doing now, the money is pouring on bitcoin now but when more and more money will come and join the party, our altcoins will be the next target. Just like the past, bitcoin will lead the show then altcoins will follow.


We have to be strong to hold, where's the faith? apply HODL because we are in crypto.

Now all attention is drawn to the BTC.  People again think - like in 2017 - that it will cost $ 100,000.  Therefore, the season of altcoins comes a little later ...

I am agree with your idea. All we see the progress of bitcoin compare to altcoin. I think it is more practical to sell your alts and start to invest and hold bitcoin. Many experts and blog says that bitcoin will hit up to $10k this year and I have no doubt that bitcoin can do that if we based on the number of investment and number of merchant that are now accepting bitcoin.

on the year 2017 the price did not climb 100k usd but the highest bitcoin price that time was only 20k usd  .  100k usd is i think nearly impossible but if ever the prices crosses that high then i think it could take a long time maybe 30 to 50 years later  .

 altcoins on the other hand may come a little late because like what you said , people are foccusing too much on bitcoins and we can see that bitcoin is still growing quickly  .

the bitcoin market is heating up investors are eager to pump up the market. maybe in some alt coins it was greatly affected by BTC price continued to
increase 24% this day and many Alt holders were interested in switching to BTC. however the ETH market is also quite good now pumping up to 7%,
incoming investment on BTC market not only from liquidating alt to btc but many Fiat funds investment entering BTC market,
make the price grow up more time by time.

If you dump the alts, then it would be easier for bitcoin to get pumped due to the people moving their investment from altcoin to bitcoin.

I know what you mean OP, based on the coinmarketcap, bitcoin has a big increase so far in crypto market. Altcoins like ethereum, bitcoin cash, litecoin and other altcoins also increase but not as much as bitcoin. If you want to get maximum profit then choose bitcoin like what OP said.

for me this opportunity will exchange bitcoin to altcoin, because it hasn't started bullrun yet. so that you will get more profit. but indeed if you choose a safe one you can faithfully invest in bitcoin

Failed or stray projects are a no go, 100% support this!

Top 15 I beg to differ!
The opportunity to profit from the top 100 is there and FYI we have over 2000 coins and still counting,you wouldn't want to limit yourself to the 15 because there are plenty of great projects out there which are doing fine.

I will go will what I have always known, anything showing green means its gained and doing well.

I really agree with your opinion, don't waste altcoin because the price will rise soon. Secure investment in altcoins that have good prospects such as Ethereum, Litecoin or BNB, I am sure profits will be obtained soon.
Until December 2019 I predict the altcoin will continue to rise in price, because bitcoin as a crypto driver is experiencing a significant price increase, so the impact is also felt by altcoin.

Not all altcoins have decreased with the increase in bitcoin, at least my advice is that you keep holding altcoins, because this increase in bitcoin is not every day, surely someday prices will drop back and altcoins will rise.

And that dump happened since bitcoin experienced a big pump. I have seen a lot of waste on the stock exchange since then, they flocked to buy bitcoin. But the situation will not be bad for too long, but it will return to following the current bitcoin trend.

Bitcoin will be the only one with better profits for sure but that doesn't mean altcoins won't surge in price and don't expect all altcoins to follow the upthread real quick,its not altcoins season yet but altcoins season will return soon

I also think, it Is a wise idea to hold Btc at this point time. Am quite amazed at how things are moving really serious for Btc in particular. And like you said, there is no sharing FUD anywhere, it's the bitter truth of the moment

It's not necessarily the case, especially If you're looking at the first page. If we take a look at Litecoin for example:

https://i.imgur.com/o791Vd2.png

The only reason why it's showing green is that Bitcoin went up but If you look at the price in Satoshi, it's going down and that's exactly what you should be looking at.

In my opinion this lag altcoins said that BTC are just inflated. I think that in the near future either altcoins will make up for the backlog of Bitcoin again, or the price of Bitcoin will collapse down, which is a more realistic scenario in my opinion.

Well, as we notice these days bitcoin really increasing its value and also some other alts like etherium did as well. It seems bitcoin showing a motive to commit a skyrocket before the of this year. If I wish to hold bitcoin it was before when it was still around $3,000, but unfortunately I haven't yet capital to spend buy bitcoin. So for those who have, I think its yoyr time to invest in bitcoin while its yet starting to rise.

it is correct but if you have small funds, you need to get risks, therfore alts will make you the money, but if you have enough funds , you cam move to Bitcoin from alts.

You are right, but I think the price of alto coins, especially in  ETH or Top 2/4, certainly will increase. Besides, the rest will increase prices gradually.

I myself was surprised that the cost of altcoins has been declining for several weeks in relation to Bitcoin. As far as I know, altcoins have always sought in the Wake of BTC. I'm not an expert, but I think this means that the value of Bitcoin is growing because of the pump and very soon it can collapse.

Bitcoin is a king coin and investing in it is worth and there is less risk of investment. Compared to altcoins, its price is little bit stable and lately is increasing. It has made such impact in the people that the people consider bitcoin when it comes to talking about cryptocurrency. The coin has been accepted widely across the globe. I do not agree with your another argument. Only top 15 coins in the coinmarketcap is worth investing. There are many coins not in the top 15 coin rank that are worth investing in the market. The coins have sound and strong team, technology and goals.

Yeah it can go either way, btc won't be pumping the whole year, that's for sure, and then alts that are extremely down today would then start making a run of their own. I wouldn't drop all alts i have now though i will be exchanging a lot to btc but you also have to prepare and make contingencies in case the wheel turns the other way. Then the alt stash i have will have it's turn at making their own run.

OP's advice is sound but I think folks are mixing up 2 different things here.

If you want to store value and hold for the long term, Bitcoin is probably the way to go.

If you want to GROW then altcoins are the way to go. Bitcoin has valuation potential of 5X in several years.

Some alts like BAT are ready to explode 30x easily when their final product goes live.

As always measure your risk x reward.

Incredible as it may seem, Bitcoin today is the more stable crypto while alts are the wild rides.

yeah very tough day, when Bitcoin price is increased Altcoin will automatically adjusting the price to $dollar, many people are losing Bitcoin not dollar. we shouldn't trade Altcoin when Bitcoin price were fluktuatif.

In my opinion, besides the recent positive signals from the market, according to me, the Binance exchange is being attacked by hackers and the blocking of the withdrawal of Coin is the main reason for this price increase.
However, with the Coin trading on the dollar exchanges, when you see it green on Coinmarketcap it has increased in price. But there's no need to compare with Bitcoin's sts.

I agree with you in part. Perhaps due to the effect of Binance exchange locking deposite and withdrawing Coin leading to this increase. When Binance floor opens again, the market will probably plunge
But I hope it will go up

Your opinion are very ok and specific it seems the Bibance incidents yield a positive result in the crypto community but, am a kind of worried despite the positive effects because no one knows what will happen when Binance finally open to operations. That is why we gat to do everything wisely since we all know the risk involved in crypto take decision that suit you no because you some one said it with you confirming it.

Exactly, the same was also in last year. In December 17, bitcoin reached its ATH and later when it was becoming weakene, altcoin started to rise and reached ATH at January 10 for all.

I am also confident in the growth of the Altcoins. For a simple reason, the Altcoins are now worth a penny and it is very profitable to buy them.

This idea is not new. I have already seen periods of the beginning of Bitcoin growth several times, and as I recall, as the price of Bitcoin rises, the price of altcoins always began to fall. This is due to the fact that many investors are starting to switch to Bitcoin as the most reliable and, at the same time, rapidly growing asset at that time. This time there is no such thing.

Mybopinion is that many crypto investors are already dumping other less popular alts for the likes of btc and eth that is the reason for the rise in the top cryptos, other alts are dunking. IMO it may not be a very good advice for those who wish to break even on their past great losses

If so, for one reason only. Everything was done solely to buy altcoins at super cheap prices. That is why I think the prices were artificially lowered. As soon as the prices of these altcoins increase, we will understand why all this has been done.

Always what you just affirmed is what happens, in fact, one of the reasons why always when bitcoin rises and the altcoins go down is by this same fact, most people or operators do not want to miss the movement, in fact the Most speculators including small whales.

The important thing of this is, that at the moment of bitcoin of the first correction turn, many speculators and investors decide to make the move to buy altcoins, since they are much cheaper and they know that if the bitcoin goes up, the altcoins will start to go up, this is a logic of the market that very few know.

To fulfill these expectations it is always necessary to emphasize that it always turns out to be successful when the bitcoin is in bullish trend stage, because when bitcoin falls for its recession it will not continue to fall, this is the guarantee that it is good to analyze and know when we are in trend bullish not to make mistakes in investments or financial decisions.

LOL, if you take such advice from anyone does not matter who is and sell alts for btc, what is gonna happen you know? Alt season will start and repeat that till you many coins to whales.

I have been thinking so too that binance paused on withdrawal and deposits contributed to the current price of most cryptocurrencies in the market bit even at that bitcoin price was already on the increase before the hack incident on binance but the rate of the growth of the price increase significantly after the accident, but that will not be enough reason to sell out your altcoins in panic that it may lose it value soon.

it is the right decision if you have more altcoins than the number of bitcoins, it is good to swap them and survive with bitcoin, but not all of them can make that decision because they have different views. for me to exchange altcoins for bitcoin for the time being is a good decision.

I agree with you. It is very important for the project to follow the roadmap and deliver in time. Yanu.ai is one of those projects ;)

unpopular altcoin especially token dumped by holder.they prefer to hold bitcoin or major coins in market in order to recovery they initial balance after loss alot in long bearish market.and if bitcoin reach its peak performance they could sell it and switch to their token to get more amount.

Unlike in the past where most of the newly listed coins has high price, many of the new coins has very low price they first listed in the exchange. Both bounty hunters and investors contributes to price dumps when sell the coins. Even those new coins with big potential to go up in the future are experiencing dumps in their prices because of the early profit-takers. The continuing uptrend of bitcoin will also affect the price of the altcoins because many people will shift their funds to the top cryptocurrency.

If we are a smart person, I will never be wasting my time in investing bounty tokens than of the existed ones. Bitcoin has its magic and no doubts that people will choose this coin rather than to look for another. They'll have the opportunity to gain and why we shouldn't take this advantage.
May this time people are too strong with bitcoin alone that is why Bitcoin has its high price than of altcoins.

if you look around, long-term investment in altcoin will be more profitable than bitcoin because the price is cheaper and if you experience a significant increase you will be able to get multiple profits, but unfortunately, not all altcoins have good potential in the future.

in the current situation, only Bitcoin is clearly not doubted for its growth even though it has experienced a very deep dump but is able to return its value to its highest figure, but all of that must patiently wait a little longer.

if so, is the current increase in the price of bitcoin also because many investors are beginning to realize that searching for ico tokens does not profits, and finally they return to bitcoin simultaneously, which causes the price of bitcoin to return to its peak.

Lolz seems like you are here to cause bad business for the new altcoins the market if not how can you be advising people to dump their coins, lol… doing that will lead to most altcoins falling and stopping business. Well, right from time I don’t even have the time for those poor coins , my choice has always been the top coins. It’s even difficult to find the top twenty in my list. I mainly choose and invest from the top ten on coinmarketcap list. And right now the only coin I have is Bitcoin and I have been able to make good profit since the price has been going, like about 20% or so.

I think this  is not fraud. But beside of all, we must think to make ourself profit. If think about other altcoins that get dumped and it not grow again, well it is depends on developers who behind it. And traders naturally do something like this, any strategy to make profit.

well this is good for some people who lack understanding and experience in investing or trading.
I don't think that all altcoins will grow to be mostly shitcoins that the developers are dumping. Bitcoin has grown in recent weeks but this will not make most altcoins follow its growth.

altcoin doesn't look positive this time despite market up conditions especially for bitcoin, I don't know why this is the case, now we can only see and wait until the altcoin follows the bitcoin pump

yes I like the thought of you master. the results of my fields are a lot of altcoin investments. selling altc for BTC is good. if the price of bitcoin goes up significantly all altcoins will follow their potential even though it is not high. and it has taken advantage of altcoins

Anyone that really saw what altcoins performed in their last bull run will really find it difficult to dump their coins, from 6 altcoins, I have gotten over $20,000 when the last alts surge occurred, but that was then, before projects became too much in the market and that was the time even bounty campaigns were really paying.

During that time, $1500 gotten from a campaign could multiply to about $7500, but now even if the alt season comes, people will spread their investment evenly and not concentrate it on one particular coin that would make the coin see extra ordinarily increase in its value, so for now, it’s best to still dump them for BTC and we can later invest back during their time.

if disposing of altcoins that are not included in the garbage project from ICO seems to be a mistake, bitcoin has increased and now everyone has also been trading their altcoins to wait for the altcoin party.

Maybe now (and a little earlier) it would be good to sell altcoins for Bitcoin. But now it is difficult to do. BTC has already grown strongly. The correction may start at any time. This may cause some altcoins to rise to BTC.

We have still time for Bitcoin investment because again little drop in current market but it will forward at anytime. So those are active in crypto market they will earn good profit in Bitcoin and altcoin, But raising percentages from both are different so better you can buy Bitcoin is the good decision.

Buy when the price was reaching the peak price? i think you are joking even when you say that will even better and buy at the peak price is too risky. remember this when someone sell his alts to get into the bitcoin bull and he will be loosing his funds caused by the whales are dumping it and get back to altcoin, when that guy dump his bitcoin for altcoin and then whale move from altcoin to the bitcoin. this is really difficult thing to speculating about where market will go.

Altcoin partying will begin soon. Maybe now there is not much of growth. There is more chances for a big growth with altcoins. Some has already sold and invested into bitcoin which is a good choice, and now small downturn is happening with the price of bitcoin is taking place. We may experience a big growth by this weekend.

Yes! In fact I think its has already started but there will be some exceptions in which I think that some projects that has not performed well in terms of development or have not shown results during the previous bear market will not enjoy significant gains during this bull period. Imho,

In fact this is the part of the game first spread FUD altcoins are going to zero and buy them on cheap price and than create FOMO and let newcomers to buy again on more high prices. This is very common drama which is happening at moment last month altcoins were on fire and now BTC doing the same job. I hope this rally will get started soon.

I do agree with you on this comment you have made.  Bitcoin and ethereum will always be favored when the crypto market is recovering.  If you have decided to dump all the altcoins I will advise that you hold ethereum , bitcoin cash and ripple out as there are definitely going to recover in no time.

it's true bro Now the altcoin movement is very slow whether investors sell their altcoin assets In order to move investment into bitcoin, and I think the best investment is bitcoin Dan ethereum

If you read the thread, you would've understood that I'm not referring to strong coins like ETH, but yeah, I doubt ETH will be 400$ anytime soon. At least, not without BTC increasing as well so If you're referring to a flippening like some people are, that's unlikely.

Lol, I think it's too much, even though Bitcoin has a good increase, but if we have to sacrifice all the altcoins we have, I don't think it will be effective because there are still many altcoins that are still red and we must avoid selling with losses.

the point is hodl only a solid project with active developments inside the project right ?
yeah, if we talk about the price on usd terms, most of altcoins will increase, but when we see the price in bitcoin terms, the price was down
thats normal, because we know if bitcoin price rising, a lot of people will convert their altcoins to bitcoin and thats why a kind of shitcoins will dump hard even dead, only a solid altcoins will survive even groth a little bit

Alts are now starting to pump as bitcoin drops.  Ripple is up over 20% and Ethereum has gotten a nice boost as well.  How long this will last is anyones guess but I have a feeling bitcoin will test the $6k level again.

I do agree that price increases in CoinMarketCap can be misleading for low volume coins - if a coin is 0.001 BTC, and BTC rises 10%, then with no trading on that low volume alt then that also rises 10% in dollar terms because it stays at 0.001 BTC.

But I differ a bit with regard to BTC and top alts. I think that any big crypto bull market tends to start with BTC rising fast, then BTC slows down and the good alts start to increase fast... so maybe my strategy is buy BTC as soon as it starts moving up, then once it slows switch to ETH/XRP and so on.

I still have faith on the altcoins that im hodling, just waiting for the altseason before dumping them and get good profit even it takes 2 to 3 years

No need to say haha we having sold our alt for the btc increase but of course not all are doing this but this is mostly done by many by this situation, its good to hold btc now than alts.

This is not a flood, this is a valuable hint, now it’s really better to convert your coins into Bitcoin or Ether, since in relation to it it will fall, and these 2 cryptocurrencies will grow. I hope the growth will be great

You are only looking at the comparison between bitcoin and all the alts that have become successful over the years, but if we consider as well all the altcoins that have failed over the years and all of those that will fail you will find that when you average their results that the profits are many times lower what you could have gotten with bitcoin, to be honest the only reason I invest in altcoins is to multiply the amount of bitcoin I have and I am sure I am not the only one that thinks like that which explains why no one cares about the possible applications that alts may have since they are only looking to make bitcoin with them.

Agree, sell alts that has no really value in the market and better hold btc. I believe in these two coins that it will going to grow these year. Better hold btc since price is growing and I believe in the coming months btc can reach the ath hopefully.

Anyway, I do agree with the OP at some point. Most of the alts are not really worth holding. No matter what happens, bitcoin will survive but alts? The chance of being abandoned is very high once the developers got their pockets full. As you can see, hundreds of alts are dying yet bitcoin is still here.

Most of the bitcoin holder is greedy they quick sell their bitcoin, until some of people didn't understand well and use patience they panic and want to earn quick.
At this time altcoins will also become better stay cool and relax we all here to grab the opportunity of this price increase but stay your patience is already starting point of crypto bounce in the market cap.

I agree with you only maintaining altcoin in the top 10 CMCs that will grow for the time being, but that doesn't mean there's no possibility that all altcoins will grow like the previous bullrun ...

I think it makes much sense. Why to waste a solid opportunity of making profit with bitcoin for a profit that may happen and may not happen with altcoins? Bitcoin we know that has a future, we can't say the same about many altcoins.
Even if you think the profit with btc is low, don't risk your money with altcoins, at least you know you are going to profit with btc for now, it's warranted.

It is not unwise if we will sell those crap Altcoins because we need earnings not loyalty to those altcoins that looks likes no future at all specially that their team is looks like they abandoned the project. Therefore i suggest that if you still want true earnings with the Altcoins then choose only the best Altcoins with products that are feasible to the masses as it will attract more people to invest.

Which green light are they showing, they are showing green light still based on Bitcoin bull run and moreover, the only coins that are showing green light are the ones that are within the top 20, which are still the major coins that will moon when the alt-season comes.

Other alts doesn’t have much to offer again, so it is best that one sells them to Bitcoin for the main time to make more profit from BTC, if at the end of the day, they are still trying to show signs of increase when the alts time comes, then we can manage to make some few more investment in those alts that are not in top 20, which I see as being risky.

maybe this is only for a few moments because it's been a long time since the price of btc hasn't moved, so many sell alt for bitcoin investment, even at low prices, plus alt.coin prices don't show any movement in the btc starting to grow, like panic selling. without knowing the actual altcoins they can have greater profit potential, everyone has their own decisions

If I am not mistaken, ETH has gained some value in the past few days. It is above $200 and looks great to speculate in. In addition, the rise in Bitcoin could be instrumental in raising the demand for THE as well because people generally think about ETH as the second best asset to speculate/invest in after Bitcoin which means that a rise in the demand for ETH will rise the prices as well.

Quite a strange situation, to be honest. Bitcoin is growing, shows some dynamics, and altcoins are flying down, and so confidently and strongly.

It is a situation seen many times before. Looks at the past 4-5 years. There were many periods with Alts going down and BTC going up. Often at the end of the BTC rally the Alts see a rally against BTC. The problem is nobody knows how long the current rally will last and when the roles will be switched.

Some altcoins began to recover. What I wrote about earlier. Perhaps soon bitcoin will continue to grow, and altcoins will continue to fall. But now it is better to wait for new money in the game. This can raise many of our assets to a new level.

many altcoins are confident that they will fly when bitcoin grows, but in fact many of the altcoins fall when bitcoin flies.
Bitcoin growth has not had much effect on some altcoins.

Seeing the current market cryptocurrency are very interesting. Almost its price has been increasing, I see the avarage increasing price up to 10% on the top position especially NEM. As you may know the price NEM is increasing almost 30% based on coinmarketcap. But I don't think this situation will continue especially for altcoin price, its price is very susceptible with manipulation, because it could be now the price is increasing 30% but after that the price can fall more than 30%. Different with bitcoin, there is a little to be manipulation and its price will goes down if there is negative information comes. Seems like I'll agree with you, hold btc and leave altcoin if you aren't sure the price will keep on the right way.

The good altcoins are starting to gain momentum as well. With the current market situation, I think people will hold a little longer and wait for its peak and starting dumping right away. This is a good chance that they make a profit from investing but it should depend on what altcoin are they holding.

Why choose between bitcoin or altcoins? It is not useful to group and treat all these coins as one investment category. There are plenty of top quality projects so better to hold both bitcoin and top altcoins.

I have many tokens that are now worthless because the developer has abandoned them and since there are worthless to me I don't think I should disagree with you in selling the few that are still have little value but I think in future are not going to survive!  I will hide to your advice and sell those coins are tokens now or convert them to some altcoins like litecoin and ethereum.  Dumping what you know are not going to make any significant progress in terms of pricing and market capitalization is the most and viable investments' decision we may make now in the face of this investments reality.

you have a wise choice. where instead of making a choice on one asset either bitcoin or altcoin. why not choose some of them. bitcoin is good for the long term, and some altcoins have good growth for trading. we can benefit from both.

Project based altcoins choosing idea is too old buddy. If there is good market for one coin you may invest on that coin that is fact now. Please check the best cryptocurrencies can grow more. Some of the IEO also to good to make the investment.

If you invest your funds on cheap coins which seems dumped in the market. That coin will be increasing for the marketplace.

Some of the developers of thses coins that are failed to follow its roadmap might encountered a problem that neededto be solve first and this is one of the reasons why the coin's price failed to go up. Others are struggling to go up because many investors and bounty hunters have sold the token after it hit the exchange. But some of these alts recovered later after their developers continues to improve the tokens. Some alts dumped temporarily but the others may delisted later due to inactivity of price.

we cannot say this is the reason plainly to dump the the altcoins in this situation because Bitcoin is developing right now and moreover people like to invest in it the demand only decides the price I think that's why it is not going good well.

That is what we need to do in these situations.
We are now can hold both bitcoin and altcoin because bitcoin and altcoin will increase later so it will worth if we can be patient at this moment.
As long as you can choose the right altcoin, I am sure that you can make a profit and you can have the investment in the altcoin section besides bitcoin investment.

I think this is a pretty standard thing, because Bitcoin is now growing and finally shows at least some dynamics , investors like it and they invest in it.

You can do it if and only if the altcoin you are holding right now is not a proven shitcoin. In my case I hold btc and I also have 100 ZAP tokens, ever heard of that? Probably not. I got it from a signaturw campaign way back 2017, it still in my MEW but i have no longer intentions for it. I just choose to forget about it. You know what? If I had a chance to dump this shitcoin, I definitely will. However, I don't think it was listed on the exchanges that's whay it remain stuck ;D.

Investing in the Bitcoin is a wise intention and dumped altcoins have a small effect on the BTC pump. Idea is to understand the market cycle:
Simple cycle: Bitcoin pumps -> cash flow ->Altcoins. Price dumps ->  cash flow -> Altcoins In all cases altcoins don't have enough volume for protecting their value without considering the demand.

Standard means that's really happening, well, I am not sure, the market sentiment changes from time to time.
Altcoins does not dump anymore, so there is no reason to dump it, bitcoin is rising and altcoins will follow, patience is needed to benefit on this.

Maybe it will be good to happen. Because what people do when bitcoin price get pumped is different each other. There are some people who sell their alts and take profit in fiat with bitcoin and there are people who hold it.

Everything has its time. The rise of bitcoin will attract new people to crypto. Later, they will begin to see potential in some altcoins. This will cause an increase in altcoins. Therefore, you can add to your chain -> new money, a small dump of BTC and ETH, the rise of altcoins.

Choosing the right altcoin is becoming more problematic with each day that passes, I do not have any statistic about this belief I have but I will speculate that the number of altcoins created over the last weeks has gone up, scammers are seeing that more people are interested in the market and they are trying to take advantage of this opportunity which means the number of shitcoins is going up, and as an investor that only makes my job even harder, things are so bad that long time ago I decided to stop investing in new coins regardless of how good its concept was since I cannot risk being scammed.

it all depends on the altcoin that you hold if you think they have good potential for growth, then you should keep holding the altcoin and if you want to invest in bitcoin, use other capital.
but if it turns out that the altcoin you hold does not have any potential even when the altcoin pump and the coin do not experience significant movement, it is better to throw the altcoin to switch to bitcoin or maybe to other altcoins which have better growth potential.

i don't think you are right instead now is the best time to invest in alts coin a lot of good projects are undervalued right now good luck for you in your future decesions but try to diversify as well :)

This is good advice because it's completely unpredictable if the entire market will benefit as greatly as the leading two assets Bitcoin and Ethereum from any further appreciations that may occur and if you are wanting to diversify your portfolio just make sure you choose either well established projects that are top ranked as recommended or any asset that has a strong use case and a well developed strategy to achieve further adoption

I guess this is what investors did From the start of this month until the mid since bitcoin dominance continued to grow and many altcoins has almost didn’t move from that certain time
But today looking at the chart I think altcoins supporters turns back and re invested on their favorite coins as we can see they are now moving together as bitcoin moves ups and downs for the past weeks
this indicates the balancing of the cryptocurrencies and this is one good indication of healthy market and bull running is just around the corner I guess

I and most people know that keeping BTC is safe and will bring good returns over time. But for higher profits, we need to have high-risk investment missions. Everyday you can see there will be a few altcoins that increase from 30 to 60% and even 100% - 200%.
  We really can't ignore it in the crypto market. We need flexibility and constant strategy changes to get the highest profit.

But dumping alts for that? this is hard for those who have accumulated alts during early 2018 as it's price that time is still lower compared to the current price. Maybe for some who have accumulated alts in the last quarter of 2018, they can dump now and ride with btc.

Actually I think, altcoins and bitcoin will rise, the only difference is the time frame as bitcoin will certainly go first then altcoins will follow.

If they buy altcoins on the year 2018 then their alts have already grown alot by this year and there is nothing wrong on selling some  . Maybe the guy above you means that dump the alts and take profit and then invest in btc while its hot . Thats a nice strategy btw because btc is still actively fluctuates which means we can still buy when it declines and it does not take time to increase and recover until it fully pumps and start another bull  .

that is true and real now, the BTC price has increased but the altcoin price cannot fully increase. this may still require a lot of processes to be able to increase the altcoin price again, now the price of altcoin is a lot of dumps and whether or not they can increase

I also think the same way, we cannot dump altcoins so easily because it was growing so much comparing to early 2018.
But apparently it's also depend on someone's strategy, if they are dare to sell altcoins and buy another bitcoins, why not.

I don't believe it's still a good advice from the poster. There are several other good coins asides bitcoin and ethereum which are worthy of a long hold. I will rather opine that the investor focuses on substance than current price. These valuable gems will be worth much more in the future

Is not good in my opinion to dump the alts because can make the price going lower and this can affect over time the price and if a bull run coming than most people will lose if they dump now.

hold on to your alt and trust the token that we can grow rapidly to hold up to the moon  and help share with investors to accelerate development even though now there are parties who want to buy cheap don't sell cheap your altcoin is very valuable, key to success is patience

Now isnt the right time to dump anything because the movement of the coin which influences them all has been doing good as of late.
Cause if you dump now your profits for holding on to them for this long will diminish because bitcoin hasnt finished its ongoing rise just yet. ;)

Much better to hold the coin that you know will grow like now that bitcoin is growing and feel that alts will be follow to bitcoin. So hodl it for now, we know that it's hard to predict what will be the price of coin so be observer too.

We are apparently seeing some altcoins moves higher but the others still sleeping dead. If you have no patient, will actually made a decision to sell. That is the common problem right now, and we can't stop them cause in the first place, it is just a waste of holding those nonsense coins too long without expected returns, better to sell it and invest into different coins. Maybe it will be good by then.

but the altcoin condition is not bad now, holding it back first I think there is still a possibility to still get a profit. the market still looks positive even though several times there has been a correction in prices on the market. keep calm and just watch the market movements, it will be better than immediately selling and switching to other assets.

I agree with you. altcoins or current tokens are usually not reliable businesses and it creates only to dump and dump. I am quite concerned about this and I think the low and high selling strategy should be applied more in altcoins outside the top 50 of CMC.
Then we should take profit to buy BTC or ETH and hold it. It's 2 coins I appreciate very much and it can bring in a profit of 200-400% in a few years.

Dumps the altcoins can occur at any time, even when the market looks better then dumps can occur, this certainly makes most investors panic, but as long as we are sure that the project is real then everything will improve.

and no one knows when Dumps occur on altcoins because it comes suddenly to happens without realizing. currently the market is in good standing and most investors have started to return or have already trusted Crypto, even though dumps occur investors will not panic because they are sure that after that Pump will occur.

You cannot judge by a one-month situation only. Yes, in May, Bitcoin showed more power than altcoins, but it seems to be natural - the leader must do it. Further, altcoins will be growing fast as well. I bet on ETH and Bitcoin Cash.

one way or another ethereum occupies the lion’s share of the cryptocurrency market.  If you still take into account all successful ico companies that used the erc20 platform, then everyone is much more likely to be in a leading position among all altcoin.

Save your altcoint, hold for Long term man, long term! If you're a holder, Don't look at the price every day, it'll drive you crazy!

Lucky that I did this last month when I sold two of my altcoins and converted into Bitcoin and waited for at least a weeks before returning it back now my altcoins almost double the volume from the pumped I got from Bitcoin.but today since the value of market had already comes back to normal and equally investing for good coins from alts to Bitcoin

We have the same strategy, looking at its price regularly will only make us upset, but this will have a better value in the future if we believe on the project we are investing. We don't dump even if we have bitcoin now which is safer because the right time will come that out altcoins will grow and will gain supporters in the market. I still believe that the opportunity to see x100 of one of the altcoins will come into reality.

Altcoins are very low compare to Bitcoin. There is no reason to dump altcoins now. I will hodl my altcoins.

It's best to think positively and be optimistic instead of dumping your assets, there's always time for any good Alts to rise and chances to received such profits will happen in the near future.

Keep holding if you are really believing with projects that you already have, take your chances and embrace the risk look for long term benefits.

Most of alternative coins are not for long time profits, just make as most as you can while the hype is still much about the coin and dump it as soon as possible to avoid being caught in the loss.

I agree with you on selling non performing coins to invest in a solid coin like Bitcoin or Ether since the market is picking up , however I disagree that only top 15 coins are worth investing. There are dozen coins that has outperformed Bitcoin and Ether since it enlisted on exchanges after ICO and they are not among the top 100 coins yet.

Short term successful coins may not be considered for the long term investment,if they want to be considered a coin like bitcoin or ethereum it needs to be recognized.

Even I won't say top 15 ranked coins based on their market cap is the best to invest but they have better chances compared to lower cap valued coins.

But it is better to cope up some altcoins too. Do not be pessimist regarding with altcoin conditions since they can move up. However, all of the actions that altcoins take came from bitcoin. Bitcoin is the foundation of all cryptocurrencies and it is the basis when the trend will change or will stick upon the line. Definitely, invest in bitcoin first than altcoins.

Top 15 has never and will in my opinion never determine what's worth investing in or not.
I know where most of my profits have come from and it's not in your specified bracket. tbh, I can hold any coin long term as long as I view the team as trustworthy and they have an applicable use (https://www.ecomi.com/?utm_source=ecomilx) where their token will serve a purpose.

I will hold my altcoins and i still have faith on my assets. And its not the right time to sell atcoins cause season of alts is on its way.. I have strong feeling there will be a surprise next month,which  will be the sign that altseason is coming.

I really hope that you are correct, I have been waiting for my alts to recover and yet I see nothing like that, it is true the price of many alts went up but bitcoin gained value faster than most coins which means that if you are looking to get more bitcoin with your investment in alts you have been in fact losing money during the previous months and that is something no trader wants.

This is the best strategy for risky propositions at this stage as the market begins to mature and intelligent investors seek better quality alternatives with a longer term view rather than chasing after quick gains and you'll find the top ranked assets will likely perform more reliably throughout this year

Altcoins are still special, it's just that there time to shine has not come yet.
We don't buy that before just to dump, although it's a big expensive before, we buy it because we believe on its future.

Altcoins still not pumping should not make us loss our trust on it as I believe the time will come for them to shine, a true holder would not sell right away and panic, they should be willing to hold longer until the price eventually recover and rises compared to our purchase price.

For market conditions like this, you can see that many altcoins are not very good at prices. if you are lucky you can choose assets with great potential in the future for investment. and obviously it will be as profitable as you say. but to get assets like that, it might be a little difficult.

I think that there are still no prerequisites for selling all altcoin.  It seems to me that the Altcoins have not yet fully manifested themselves, so that we can speak about the lack of prospects for one or another project.

That's true not all altcoin have great price right now even the the price of bitcoin is continously growing, but it's good also to take part of altcoin that have great value and potential not all needed to dump. For me I will hold both btc and altcoin not just one coin to sure that I can get some profit incase I lose to one of that coin.

Sorry to disagree with you! This is not the solution to the right decision! I know 85% of altcoins are valueless shit! But you can't ignore the left 15%! They are a big part of the crypto market. What do you think about Ethereum, Tron, Neo, Binance Coin, Stellar, Nem? Even we failed to ignore the BCH coin! At the end of the day, people want to profit, and altcoins can give that too.

Many Altcoins holders are now attracted to sell their assets for the Bitcoin so that they could benefited with this Bitcoin rapid growth. Hopefully they will review well their Alts that they will just dump only those crap altcoins as we never know that if these rapid growth of Bitcoin is not really a real demand but a big whales trap missing the beauty of the product of the certain Alt that you dumped.

Will, they risk for it or not still that's their decision and if they get wrong, then they are sorry but looking into BTC current flows will actually they are right and profiting. That's their strategy and it works well by now, we have to understand them also. If I have too, I'll do the same. Investing Bitcoin is the most profitable one in which we are all preferred to invest with than of altcoins.

They can do that effectively if they are also monitoring the market properly, when they sell for bitcoin, they have to make sure they'll also buy for altcoins once the altcoins season will officially start.

They are shorting bitcoin but i thought that it will better than keep our amount in altcoin and this time anything get lose to the bitcoin and how a little dump of bitcoin was giving a big impact to the whole of altcoin assets. Those who already sold their bitcoin for stable coins have taken a very big profit.

yep, I understand this. Every time the BTC grows, the value of the members will go down because many traders believe that the price of BTC will continue to increase.
Whales are actually making a huge effect. Although many people say the price of the BTC increases and then the altcoins will increase in a short time but I don't believe in that, I always believe in the value of BTC.
I think we should all have 1 - 2 BTC to hold for a few more years.

I have not dumped my alts but I have changed them for bigger marketcap alts. For ex. I sold my OST to buy more XRP a few weeks ago to prevent to lose more. Even my movement is right I have lost more than 30% at the moment against BTC. I even don't imagine to stay at OST which lost more than 75% against BTC.

This may be the beginning of the rise of Btc, but there are also Altcoin that are experiencing good improvement and development like Ethereum. maybe if you have another Altcoin, you should sell it, to buy BTC if in my opinion.

A cryptocurrency market is always unpredictable and presents big surprises. In the current bullrun, the growth of bitcoin was accompanied by the growth of altcoins and only at the last moment altcoins did sag heavily, after which the bitcoin immediately fell. In my opinion, what happened shows that finances revolve according to the scheme Fiat - Bitcoin - Altcoins - Fiat. Based on this, altcoins will closely correlate with the BTC, in connection with which I don't expect sharp dumps of the Altcoins in relation to Bitcoin.
