Bitcoin Forum

Do you think that currently altcoins are not showing bullish trends as BTC do?
But i think the strongest altcoin is LTC. Its price jumped from about $30 to about four times.
Which altcoin do you favor if any?

Altcoins are just waiting for the right time. Even bitcoin pumped early compared the altcoins, still, altcoins will follow. Also, bitcoin is the origin of all coins so it will pump first. For me, it is stiol ethereum to be the best altcoin.

if told to choose altc I would choose ethereum. ethereum is my favorite altc because ethereum has smart contrac that are not on other altc. maybe at this time ethereum is down but for me ethereum remains the best choice.
ethereum is the second rank in the crypto market, of course there are many users, maybe that's why now ethereum is redeveloping their prices so they can be stable again.

It looks like another forum thread about nothing. This has already been discussed a thousand times on the forum. It would be better if you looked for old threads to find the answer to your banal question.

I suggest you should make a thread according to the topic, you make the title BTC vs. Altcoin but you only discuss your favorite altcoin. I suggest that you make a topic about things that might make BTC VS Altcoin interesting like what makes BTC different from Altcoin. Because there are many threads that discuss this.

altcoins will show bullish trends when the time comes. For now let the bitcoin price becomes more stable.  There is no need to cause fud or be in a rush to make hasty decision. I believe the market will get better

They are showing some bullish signs not just bitcoin but ethereum, too. Ltc has a potential to go bull run but I am more focused with ethereum since ETH is my favorite altcoin than anything. Let me present my technical analysis. I screenshot it from my phone to show you that there is a big chance it may perform a possible bull run.

Here it is.

LTC halving is coming very soon. This is one of the main reasons why it has soared high. But aside from that, the trend is really on Bitcoin. Bitcoin is going to be reaching back to $14,000 very soon, within the month most probably. The altcoin season might be at the 4th quarter of the year. My favorite altcoin is and will always be ETH.

When will come bull run ?

Bull runs do not have any fixed date or period, if you're an ardent reader, you must have read that the market is not predictable and that anything can happen anytime.
If you're an investor, you'll have to invest and not worry about when or how the bull run will come, that will only lead to undue pressure to either sell or dump.
Day traders do not actually bother about bull runs, just daily bullish trends for daily profits.

While only large coins are growing, I keep Bitcoin and Ethereum. Now it is very profitable. I also keep a part of Bitcoin and Ethereum in a special wallet that is still passively charging an excellent percentage for storage. Who cares to read this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5157220.0 topic.

it has always been like this. when bitcoin is rising, altcoins are mostly dumping because the money exists them.
but specifically speaking about right now, bitcoin price is stable as it has been for a couple of days. that is why altcoins are getting pumped for the past couple of days!

depends on how you define "strong". if it is just price and pump -wise then LTC is one of the weakest. in fact all the altcoins in top 20 list are the weakest coins. the strongest which get the biggest pumps are the ones with smaller market cap

maybe altcoin is still waiting for the price of bitcoin to be more stable, I believe that altcoin will experience a good pump like bitcoin, but right now it hasn't been seen yet.

I also have same thought with you that even Bitcoin is bull but altcoins is still not follow it.
Maybe we must wait more time for altcoins bull.

LTC does indeed doing well but XMR got some up going swings also lately. LTC got room to grow more in the upcoming time with the halving upcoming.

That's bthe  more reason why LTC price increase drastically some weeks ago, if we are to judge in Fairless, LTC has not increased than other altcoins like Ethereum and vechain among others. Although I like the steadily growth of the altcoins along the king Bitcoin but hope to see more rise in the price of the coins. Cryptocurrency communities will be having good times from now till two years time.

LTC managed to do that, because of the upcoming litecoin halving and despite the present slow growth of altcoins and the dominance of bitcoin. Ethereum was also able to do 3x and there are other altcoins that have improved tremendously.
The main profit for no is still shifting towards BTC.

you can't really compare any of the altcoins against bitcoin, that is a very unfair battle that they will always fail in because bitcoin is the only one that is actually used in the real world and is really decentralized with a good supply design. others are either very poor copies of bitcoin (including LTC) or other form of copies of bitcoin (like ETH) that changed too much and ended up with so many bigger problems like their unlimited supply and out of hand blockchain size that nobody can download anymore.

I choose coins with a small capitalization that have not yet entered the top 100. They are giving an opportunity to earn very good money.

I liked on how LTC moved from bottom to the top and it has moved more than I've expected. But near to its halving, I think that it became sluggish, I don't know the reason behind it but that's it.

The other coin that's my favorite is ethereum. From $81 somewhere around that price, it's now $300+. It's one of top the altcoins and everyone that like it are just holding and waiting until it goes crazy bullish again.

basically I like all altcoins, because that's where I can get profit when bitcoin is stable. but of all the altcoins, I prefer BNB, ETH, LTC and NEO. I'm interested in the altcoin because it's very easy to predict. and sometimes I buy coins that are not in the top100. I did this when there was good news about the coins.

the altcoin that I like to date is of course ethereum, the increase is quite good during 2019. ethereum now reaches $ 300. Besides that, I like bnb, because this is my investment for the next few years.

if the LTC price has risen so much while other altcoins do not show any growth, this means that this is just a simple price manipulation.

I think it's too early to call altcoin is rising or soon will rise as like BTC did. Only a little percentage of coins rose. If we look back at the last alt season, during the alt bullrun, BTC dominance was 35% or so while it's 62% now. So, I think it will take more one month. See the attached image below.

We are all waiting for altseason to come, and I am pretty sure it is just around the corner. We only need several more great updates that would push the market forward and than all alts are going to show their potential.

It looks like altcoin is indeed unhealthy in its growth, when bitcoin rises up very quickly. Besides Litecoin, I chose Bitcoin Cash and ethereum which still had a chance. Don't choose an altcoin that you didn't know before (not in your analysis), it can make a drastic loss. Thank you.

Considering your first question. Yep, for increasing the money it is better to put them in Bitcoin as it is more secure and I see people will trust in it forever.
According my favorite altcoin, it is Komodo, as there are lots of technologies on their side

The bullish time of BTC will also go for the altcoins as they gain USD value too.
THough they are not that pump yet they will be soon. the market is focus now with bitcoin but the when BTC slow in move altcoins will come.
We can see it now with Ethereum price.

Yes ltc is a good coin and will obviously continue to grow , but I also hold other coins, look at bnb he is very well grown and I think he's this year will show good growth !

Alts only increase when the BTC has a price adjustment after its price is pumped. I really only pay attention to the LTC in the past few days. I had a lot of profit because trading in LTC on bitforex in the last few days.
You can buy LTC and hold them, in less than 1 month the halving event will happen. Its price will gradually increase over time.
And there's a pretty awesome alts that is Insolar. It is being traded on Binance with over $ 1 million per day.
By the end of September, they will start implementing the Mainet and its price will rise. This is a good time to buy many Insolar and hold it.

Altcoin prices are not rallying and I too don’t understand why, normally whenever bitcoin prices have rallied in the past altcoins prices have also followed suit. I’m sure in coming days the altcoins market will start to rally, we just need to patient and hodl onto our coins. If you ask me my favourites are ETH and LTC, and I would recommend people to buy these two and hodl them for future gains.

I think Altcoins will not go into the bullish trend until BTC dominates reach to 68% then descends like the end of 2017. Until then I think the safest solution today is to keep BTC in account (over 50%) , and the rest of my fund I'll keep ETH and LTC like you.

Alts are at minimum levels currently, so I don't  think buying btc now is a great option. It's already high though it can still go way higher but too risky to buy into it now.

My first advice is to join a paid crypto signal. They really help in directing and organising pump action for alt coins that you can easily make money off.

Learn crypto trading.

Some of the coin I suggest you buy is HOT, ETC, Tron, ETH, LTC, NEO and a few others.

If you know what you are doing and your investment is good you can easily make $500 to $10,000 or much more monthly. Those alt I mentioned are already at their dip so you can't lose much.

BTC investment is very safe and you get the benefit at least 5 times within the 3 years but the altcoin investment gives you thousandth times of benefit when time comes. Just you need to invest in safest altcoins like the Litecoin.

I think they will but first people need to be sick of making money from bitcoin and assume they won't make any bitcoin at all. I mean if people are still making profit from bitcoin going up and they do not have a reason to sell it then people will not come back to altcoins at all.

The moment when bitcoin reaches its peak and we are certain that there are a lot of new money coming into bitcoin then we will have a lot of increase in other coins as well, people will look at altcoins and get some of those in order to make x5 or x10 because they can't do that with bitcoin anymore, there will be new people coming it which will keep bitcoin high but the old ones already made enough from bitcoin so they will move on to altcoins instead. It has happened before and I am sure same will happen again.

Many investors are waiting, what will happen to altcoins. If they start growing then they will invest and FOMO will start. But why they should move from BTC when BTC gives a good returns.  ::)

traditional traders and investors prefer bitcoin. there is tones of altcoins and need much time to study them. until that better have btc in the bag.

I prefer to invest in bitcoin rather than investing in altcoins because the greater the likelihood of earning bigger in bitcoin is today especially now that its price rises.

Here are my $0.02. I’m not a professional or anything, so take it for what it is.
I don’t see alt season kicking off in earnest until bitcoin is starting to close in on it’s ATH. FOMO will be setting in and smart money take the opportunity to take profit and move part of their position into alts while still getting top pay for their BTC.
The market reacts a little slow. Once the smart money have finished the reallocation, bitcoin pulls back and alt season takes off.
This doesn’t mean you can’t make great gains trading alts in the meantime. I just suspect it’s a little early to buy alts for HODL. I’m sure they will take off at some time. I’m pretty sure they will go up as well. I just think bitcoin will be a better bet until it starts closing in on its ATH. Unless you get lucky and pick the alt hitting a pump at the perfect time. Or you are active in managing your portfolio...

As a trader you should be able to take your focus away from the prominent coins and diversify, Initially I was stuck with trading ltc, btc, eth and co but the joy of this game is the volatility and the ability of one to be able to tweak the technicals to his favor. LTC after the initial pump eventually turned stagnant and I made joke of the fact that it appears it is waiting for etherium to do its 50% of all time high before it will balance

you already answer your questions my friend
because litecoin is a part from altcoins, and a lot of good altcoins already doubled its value
so, altcoins already joined the bullish trend buddy

Bitcoin is indeed increasing, but altcoin will definitely follow it. I agree, Litecoin is currently an altcoin whose prices have surged several times. If you ask for an altcoin that I like, then my choice is Ethereum.

Everyone knows that litecoin will have halving in august , that’s why it has grown so rapidly in recent months, but that doesn’t mean that it will continue to grow at such a rate further. I think that the next main candidates for strong growth are ripple and ethereum while ltc will take a break, because such growth cannot last forever

@OP, you might need to review your topic and be more specific with it, because the main body of your post is specifically referring to a particular altcoins, which is litecoin.
Well, this seems to be the season for altcoins, which is a good thing for its holders

Who the says that bullrun is returning. But we do not see the hysteria of investors. Most likely it is a game of whales and big speculation of investors.

I don't think altseason has come yet and altcoin can't fight the trend of bitcoin, if you want trading altcoin you should wait until the bitcoin side aways.
Litecoin has strong fundamentals, I agree with what you say LTC is best altcoin at this moment

They have but not yet when all altcoin has strong growth. I think this is the time for the BTC to increase first, then time for altcoin

its reasonable for the ltc price jump because of the incoming halving this year.
this is one of the proof that when bitcoin halving occur price will also increase.
usually team behind coin or token is active in new development when price of bitcoin is high until there no new development in the coin or token there no reason for the price rise. so buying altcoin todays is really risky its better to know more about altcoin that will have incoming new development that will make a new demands or reason for price increase.

This is risky. Not every coin that does have small cap has a potential to grow just like the old small caps did. It can be an opportunity but it could also be a curse. I did this kind of strategy before but I'm sure to it that I'll never do that again. Maybe I just chose the wrong coins and you are good in observing these kind of coins.

pumped already 200-300  will ever be in love, the main thing is how much the bitcoin price will be at that time, maybe they will soar up by 50 percent on bitcoin correction and the profit will not be high

Everyone can say this, and I often see it in various threads. only guess.
There are some altcoins that are worth holding besides LTC, waves can still be bought and waiting for the next pump.

Altcoins will have their own era to reach bullrun, however, it may not happen in the recent period following the hype of BTC price currently.
It may be influenced by the dominance of BTC in the market, where the BTC price is still increasing and sometimes very volatile. It will really influence the prices of the altcoins.
But, there are also several altcoins that have good increase, besides LTC, I think that ETH and BNB also have significant increase so far.

I think LTC time being the strongest altcoin had already past.  ETH for example  had taken over the place of LTC and now the 2nd most strongest altcoin in the market.  Aside from that, I believe BNB is also getting stronger as CZ expands the BNB use case.  As of altcoin going to be bullish, I think we need to wait for the fund from BTC market move to altcoin market and it won't be happening anytime soon.  The possible reason for altcoin to be bullish is by delivering its roadmap and promised projects.

I seeing a lot of positive thoughts on altcoins at the early part of this 2nd quarter, so I guess altcoins time will happen soon.

Hopefully one would not think that it's dead already since it's been here but not just performing well and I think their time of resting is already over and they are bound to rise like bitcoin this time around.

Bitcoin to continue its bullish run is good as that gives more confident and optimism that sooner it will also influence the altcoins market.

As we can see bullish trend is right now happening to bitcoin. Although altcoins do not show us the uptrend yet, I think altcoins need its right time to pump up. And i am sure altcoins will follow soon.

It’s not always about HODL’ing folks. You can make big gains trading alts even when they are down. I woul always suggest a three pronged approach. 1. Get a core position in bitcoin, 2. Get some alts for HODL, 3. Get some alts for trading if you’re up for the task.
However, trading isn’t easy, and if you can’t keep a level head you’ll probably end up loosing. Trading on emotions is a Nono. And don’t be greedy, sell when you have reached your goal. 

Altcoin just need bitcoin to be stable and it can grow after bitcoin does it. A lot of volumes are getting centralized on bitcoin and when altcoin will be boom and we will see a big waves more than 2017's wave. but more than 20k for bitcoin looks real next year. be

Bitcoin is over 10k...so people should be investing in Altcoins already. I think that people want Bitcoin to have a higher price so they are investing their money into that instead.

I prefer to invest in altcoins because you have more choices here, so you earn more here whereas in bitcoin you invest is just a little bit of your chance to earn it because people prefer to invest in altcoins rather than bitcoin.

that will happen, when bitcoin rises, many people sell altcoins for bitcoin. moreover if the situation as already happened, the movement of the pump only belongs to bitcoin which dominates the trade is very large.

for me it is better if you invest in bitcoin because it is the leader today, and the price of bitcoin is now very low so it's just right if you invest in it here.

Very low ? we are upwards to 13k at the moment. With the overall crypto space in the positive mood sure Bitcoin will gain more.

of course we will get a higher increase in bitcoin. Unfortunately the pump that bitcoin does is not followed by altcoin. this will be a slow movement for altcoin because now I'm sure all traders will see bitcoin and forget about their altcoins.

Yes, people already investing in altcoins because after bitcoin reach the high price, that will be the altcoin time to increase. There are so many potential altcoins which can increase higher after bitcoin increase and people knows that they can make a big profit later. That is why we see the altcoin market still moving up and down many times. Yes, I agree that we will see big waves that will be the same as in 2017 and who knows, this year or next year will be a time for us to back to make a huge profit from cryptocurrency.

I am not very sure about the 5x returns within 3 years. It depends on the market. If the market rises an hour after your investment, it could give some good returns within days and not really in years. However, for long term gains and to become the crypto guy, you got to hodl your coins and stay in the crypto market. The more you stay, the more prestige attached to your portfolio. Altcoin are good for investment for again, no comparison between the two.

But litecoin is an experimental crypto to the bitcoin and no more consider from its examination with the same protocol update that very similar to the bitcoin. It has no utility usage and people only buy the rumour about that. Altcoins are not yet showing the bull trend and it will comeback soon.

Some will go with the trend with BTC because the price of BTC os so influential. It will affect those altcoins prices because it will BTC reflect the interest of the users and investors in Cryptocurrency. Some tokens or coins will not go with the flow because they are really not supported by the investors and we have nothing to do about that as users.

yes, now altcoin price has not increased very high as happened at the price of Bitcoin, but I am sure that soon the price of altcoin will also follow to increase very high like the price of Bitcoin and I personally chose Binance to be an investment, because I am sure Binance prices will increasing very high, this can happen because Binance is the biggest and most popular exchange for now, so many investors use Binance exchange for trading and that makes me sure if Binance prices will increase very high as happened with the price of Bitcoin.

There are some of my favorite altcoins. HOT, WAN, ICX and EOS are also a few other altcoins but the price is still depressed against bitcoin. I still have some of my favorite altcoins for the long term because I see daily transactions that are quite large and also have large communities

Only the top altcoins can go along with bitcoin, yeah LTC are also doing good but I think ETH are following most of the trends of bitcoin. The title is quiet not good to me because we all know that BTC is totally different with altcoins, they have differences and a different time to pump let’s just wait for the whole Altcoin nation to pump and aim high as well.
