Which altcoins are you hodling?


I didn't sell any altcoins that I'm holding lately (i probably should), however, is it a smart idea to buy them now or wait a bit more?


What are you holding? and what will you do?

It seems like you are late buying and now some altcoin has increased but I think there is still time to buy it and then hold it in the long run I think it will be better.

I have held the top altcoin and I will keep it longer and it will be more for me.

i dont think you should still buy altcoin as you said you have it already. Holding it will be the best thing you can do, however adding more altcoin well it's not good decision by now but it is depend how you believe in the coins you are holdings.
Think more beforw buyinh because we dont know how long this crisis and red market going.

I have around 173 token projects (aprox.) spread across my eth wallets, but they aren't my main investments. I prefer BTC and Ethereum as my main investments since they're good market indicators imo. For altcoins, I keep maybe around ~5% of mine for moonshots, and around 25-30% for holding larger / more stable projects. In this climate though, i'm not really sure if it's a good idea to invest more in crypto since it can drop a bit lower, but in the sense that crypto went down so fast, it should be poised for a rebound pretty soon.

If you do invest though, I think one thing that can always not be said enough is "never invest more than you can afford to lose". Never bet your mortgage, clothes on your back or your bill payments ;)

It's a smart idea to buy more before you will be missing the recovery phase for crypto. With the decision that has already taken by trump and it looks like that crypto is following the dollar.
Look at how the market is still getting the right way to recover its price from the bottom price. I glad to see that my investment is also growing even more than before.

But we see in the next few days whether the recovery will continue because the situation is still the same so that conditions like this cannot be said of recovery, if you want to buy a few btc and other altcoins I suggest it is better to wait if the conditions have started to bankrupt then the increase will continue continue as expected.

I really took a few minutes to understand why you care about what other people hold? and if most people told you that they hold an altcoin X, would you buy that altcoin X just because most of the people on this thread said they are holding altcoin X?


the whole crypto market has fallen a lot, this is nothing new for anyone, so any altcoin that is in the top 20 of the coinmarketcap that you buy now will give you 2X profit in 1 year or less

Holding Altcoin is also part of the work of all crypto users, but you should look at Altcoin that is right for you to hold. Not all Altcoin is suitable to be held for a long time, because most of them have no value at all. Choose some Altcoin that you think is worth holding.

Times as this are the time to hodl valuable altcoins that would have good and great importance in the future to come.
And when it comes to smart idea to buy, that depends on you and your information at hand that guides your investment..

But for me, now is the time to look into waves, neo, litecoin and some ample gems.

I hold many coins until now, and I am sure many of us many coins too. We still waiting for the next bull run, which can happen anytime, but unfortunately, we need to be patient because the bull run still not comes in this month. If you want to buy the altcoin, I guess you still have time to do that, but you need to analyze more to find potential altcoins. You can buy the top 10 coin list and hold it until each coin can increase, but that will need big money to buy all of them.

I always have one answer to this kind of questions in the forum, altcoins could give you profit for short term investment, in my opinion, most of the time but for long term investment I think only popular altcoins could give you bigger profit since your going to need a bigger volume in order to have a bigger profit and i don't recommend investing in just shit tokens in the market.

If you are not investing in Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, XRP, Litecoin, etc. you or some other popular altcoins you better sell it if you already have a small profit. Comparing it to the volatility of the market price of bitcoin I think this popular altcoins could easily become a good opportunity when the market I dump.

The coin held their price for last few days and they are again rising today. Now it's our time to hold. Most of us has bought the coins at a higher price that what they are today and it gives no sense on selling them in a cheaper price than we bought. Hold some more and let the bad time pass, we'd sell our coins on profit. I'm not going to sell my bitcoins anywhere below 20K. I'd rather wait years.

I'm holding ETH and XMR.

It's always ideal to buy altcoins when the prices  are low from your previous price entry. So if you are already holding a bag with higher price entry, I would advise you to some now.

As I have already mentioned, I'm holding ETH and XMR. But sadly I don't have any spare money left to buy some cheap altcoins. However, I managed to buy small amount of BTC.  ;D

Your decision if whether to hold your altcoins or not depends in how you believe in the potential of your altcoin. With the current market status where everything is crashing, it is a good opportunity to buy more altcoins but, that depends on which altcoin to buy. There are many altcoins out there that seems to have good potential in the future, but many don't have. So you better to have research more of these coins and as well as to the alts you're holding.

Actually you should grab the opportunity while the price of other coins is cheaper than before. Try to invest on altcoins right now since there is a higher chance that its value will comeback when the corona virus vanish. Hold your altcoin until the price of it becomes promising to sell. Patience is always the key in holding a coin so you better be patient and wait until the price of it comes back.

Holding altcoins seems like a bad decision right now, we are seeing a recovery in the market right now but when the market is in such a state of panic I will not be surprised that as more bad news come from Europe and the US regarding the virus then we could see another important drop in the markets, if you have the stomach to endure it this may be the time to buy some altcoins for cheap but only do this if you do not really need the money now or for the next year and if you are planing on buying coins like ETH.

I have Ethereum and I am still holding it until Ethereum 2.0 is implemented.
Just want to try that staking process that will happen and I am still buying more just so I could see how much I could make with all the amount I have stacked by now.
It is a game changer for those who haven't tried any staking process and for me it will be my first time.

FIAT, waiting for the opportunity to exchange it for crypto.

Okay, seriously, I sold 99% of my altcoins like six months ago. Not much though, since it was from bounties. My reason is simple. I've seen enough evidence that many altcoins are worthless. ETH failed, EOS failed, what else? TRON? F*ckin hell.

But the price may be irrational, so there will be "pumping" opportunities. I don't see we are at the bottom yet. *Not financial advice, DYOR & DWYOR

Actually its usually 2 ways in the crypto currency sphere, meaning its either you hodl altcoins or you sell for bitcoin or tether or fiat.
I do not support the request for suggestions regarding altcoins to hodl, because in crypto currency, you need to be responsible for every investment action that you take.

Hence, i implore you to dyor, decide if you wil or hodl or sell, and also remember that different tokens have different sell on/cash out point.

at this time the only ethereum. I think, if it's not bitcoin, then ethereum is a very good choice. however, many people choose USDT nowadays. however, seeing prices back as low as $ 6k, I think people are looking for assets that are likely to rise. however, if you are looking for altcoin, ethereum is always the first choice.

With the sudden price surge and the good news flying around about the discoverd cure to the pandemic coronavirus, I'd say we ain't far from a bit stable market even though we might not be in for a bullish run yet.....  The best option is to hodl your assets and if you have few cash to spare, i'd suggest you buy more as whenever we see a bit of a bullish run, virtually every tangible coins/tokens you purchase now will yeild a good ROI later

If you want to look for a lot of profit and bet, altcoin is better because these days there are many altcoins that have experienced surges such as steem, which managed to reach 120% increase yesterday, and it looks like some alt followed it but it's risk I think because the alt increase indicator is very difficult to guess, but today I see this bitcoin has experienced a pretty good recovery that is up to 20% and it seems like looking for safe giving some bitcoin seems good.

I currently hold NRG, KMD, ETH, XMR and MMOcoin. Selling your holding now is not a wise decision if emergency situations do not occur and some altcoin is a good idea but i will personally prefer to accumulate more bitcoins instead of altcoin which market is highly manipulated.

I am currently holding ETH, BCH, XRP, and BNB. We are also facing a bear market, that is why most cryptocurrencies and bitcoin is having a low price and the best solution for it is not selling them, instead we should have patience and start holding are altcoins until all of their price have recover.

No time will ever be the best time only buy when the market is moving up and do not forget to sell while the market is still up stya safe.

Only you knows the reason why you didn't sell and should be respected, however I do not think you should buy anymore for now rather hold on to the ones you have and watch them grow. The idea is always to invest what you can afford so that you can have peace. The market might not really be favourable for now but it will soon. As for me, am holding ETH and am not selling it because it is one of the best altcoins and thus have a good chance of recovery than others. Even if am to buy now, I would go for more BTC and not altcoins.

I think that the top 50 coins in the market are worth investing in, they are good projects and have great development potential.
This is the list of altcoins that I am currently investing.
ETH
LTC
BNB
EOS

That's the wrong move, buddy.. you buy when the market is moving down and you sell when the market is moving up. Otherwise, chances are you'll sell when it's too late. :D

To answer OP, I'm personally holding all I have and trying my best to accumulate more. I'm just out of cash completely so I have no more money to buy through the bearish markets.

I understand you very much friend. Because it’s for the third time that I’m losing a lot of money on trade. And I think that we need to continue to accumulate knowledge and understanding of this market.

Price of cryptocurrencies were dropped 30 -40% from this year's peak so this is not bad time to buy some crypto currencies.But you have to wait for the prices to recover and reach new high prices so invest only the excessive money you have got and wait for the peak prices to arrive to make real profits.

Good evening. I would say that there is huge variety of different solutions coming onto the market, so I am here with the strategy I personally use. From my point of view, mine is pretty rational and can help to find the most advanced solutions

Interesting question to discuss. I agree that there are many aspects that matter. And I am not only talking about the idea as the idea, but much more about complex approach. So curious to hear your views and example, if you are aware of any advanced solution

The most advanced I am following now is definitely Carnomaly, heard of them? Carnomaly will become the first company ever to offer a worldwide rebate for an automotive purchase. Both new and used vehicles will apply, as long as they are purchased from a verified legal dealer anywhere in the world. Upon completion of the consumer platform, Carnomaly will begin buying back tokens to replenish the rebates. Of course, there are many more great features available on the website, so have a look

From your words sounds very interesting, will have a closer look on my own shortly, thank you for the recommendation

Holding altcoins would be better if you choose the best one. Right now I am not holding many altcoins, because I converted into Bitcoin and USDT! Right now Temtum, Blockburn, Ripple, Stellar, Energi, and some other coins are available in my Portfolio. If you want to buy and hold, then Buy BNB, ETH, XRP, and ICX! These coins have a high potential to be x3 to x5!

i am holding the altcoins i strongly believe that have future. the long term projects. i prefer to Hodl BITCOIN CASH, dash, ethereum and Neo. the modern altcoins i like to have are chillz, TEZOR, fantom, Ferrum and Quant. these projects are my favorite and i think they have along way to go and they will be adapted sooner or later.

I have FIAT 100%, like the poster above I sold a few months ago (when eth was 250+). Most of the people here, at least it seems, that they keep holding and thus keep losing their money. They don't understand that, for example, if btc lost 70% they need to recoup that 70% lost first before seeing any profits. In conclusion, for the majority to hold is an awful awful idea.

Some altcoins, I keep holding top altcoins and sell unpopular coins. Yep, I think it is better to convert all altcoins got from ICO/IEO bounties to top altcoins.

Do you plan to sell after halving? For altcoins, I don't hold all for the long term. Some altcoins are just for short term targets. I think it will be too risky if all altcoins are set for the long term.

As of now, the good way to earn is to buy more coins in times of low market prices. The current market might give a good profit in terms of long term investments. However we should only select a top coins to invest with and has the capability to increase its price in a long term investments.

And for those who has many altcoins in theie wallet, better to hodl it because even when you sell it within this time, it cannot give you a good profit, but in the future market, maybe it could give you a good value to sell with.

I think before investing you need to consider carefully because the market is now very easy to manipulate and just a bad news can cause this market to collapse. In recent times, many coins have fallen very quickly and most of it depends on the price of Bitcoin.

I not sure what the altcoin will look like in the near future, but I hope it will stabilize soon because I have a lot of different altcoins.

Ethereum.
It's smart if you buy and you are firm of holding it until it goes higher again. No need to ask how long you are determined holding it but you need to set your mind how much you want to sell it gaining with profits.

if bitcoin starts to improve, altcoin has hope to improve, especially if you have a lot of different altcoins that are currently held, of course, a dilemma when it will be sold now, considering the price has fallen considerably and there seems to be no choice but to hold it. although altcoin is different but still in the top ranking, I don't think there is much to worry about

I have some Wazir, and many other shit tokens gotten from airdrop and bounty. I usually will trade and leave my altcoins in bitcoin because the movement of bitcoin is not stable and it can alter the movement of the alt market.

I have a lot of altcoins in my wallet that I got from ICO / IEO and from the bounty campaign results.
Some altcoins that I can usually still do not have a market and just become rubbish in my wallet.
There are also coins that can provide benefits, but the market still does not support and is still below the ICO / IEO price.
Hold or want to sell today depends on the price of the coins or coins that continue to be developed. Hodl coins that have good potential in the future will benefit because the coin developers continue to be active to update their technology.

I only have eth and IOST now. I sell some of my altcoins when the price recover early this year due to financial problem.

Now im planning to buy alts again and waiting for the bottom of this bear market. But btc shows improvement already and I think we are heading to recovery.

if there is no need, it might be better withheld. however, it is likely that the price will recover. in addition, at this time, prices are also gradually returning to rise. so, I think, if we sell it for no reason, we will not get a profit in this case.

Lots of bounty hunters are doing the same thing, they've choose to sell it than holding the tokens that they've received from the work that they've participated. It's difficult to hold by now since the market is not doing any good and if you in need of  money chances that you'll going to sell everything.
Hold if you have money to spare as the market will soon be bounce back it takes some time but if history will repeat itself then expect for much higher chance to of benefits.

Buy more coin is up to you and your ability, don't invest any amount which you can't afford to lose. Good to hear you that hard holders still exists as like me, but don't be so greedy with your holding coin. It is a smart idea to hold tokens at least until Bitcoin halving time.

I have also held several altcoins for a long time and won't sell them until I get a big profit :D. If you want to buy some altcoin I suggest to look for those in the top 100 ranking because it has great potential, and also you hold bitcoin too.

I hold ethereum, litecoin, trx, xrp, and more. Yes, it is a good idea to buy more right now before the price rise higher because we don't know when the price will increase. I still wait for a while and hold that coins, and if the coin can increase higher especially if the price can rise so high, I will sell some amount to get my money back, and I will wait for another down of the price.

Buying or accumulating coins or tokens now is an opportunity to buy coins at low prices. I think the panic in the crypto market has begun to subside and when confidence has started to recover, I think the price of coins will go back up maybe even reach the highest price

I have a lot of different cryptocurrencies in my portfolio and I had to convert many cryptocurrencies to USDT, and many altcoins still in my portfolio and I'm waiting for the cryptocurrency market to start growing in order to get the long-awaited profit.

Now is holding time not selling time, you should have sold when Bitcoin was at 8-9k but now it's better to hold, if not you will be selling for loss, I don't support this move at all, Bitcoin just recovered to 6k so all you need here is patience

As of now the best thing to do is to  just hold your asset until price go up.Also you may consider to buy some alts  you believing will gain you profit.I believe that the current situation with cryptocurrency now will soon change.

XTZ, Link are the best ones yo hold both tokens have recently reached their ATH respectively and will continue to grow once the bull market comes in. Another coins you should consider holding are EOS, XRP, ETH they are doing pretty well as well. Despite all happenings we still see some shades of light as the market have recovered from devastating crashed of price recently.

so far I still hold etherum, and I think that was the right decision. even though the market is falling, but I still believe that crypto will rise again. and what I am doing right now is to continue to do bounty campaign work, because to add investment is still not possible because there are not enough funds.

This year might end up profitable for holders because of few reasons, one is because of the upcoming Bitcoin Halving, second is the fact that bitcoin is proving stronger than stock market after Coronavirus ruin everything

Now he's not , why are you telling him this ? He's not late and he should not make his buys now as the price will go down a lot in the next coming months. There is plenty of time for us to gather Bitcoin and altcoins as the next pump will not happen until 2022 ...there is no way for Bitcoin to have a pump this year or 2021 as the world have important things to solve instead of pumping Bitcoin.

I agree on you on the part that Bitcoin will not pump this year even knowing that the next halving will come. We are now currently facing a pandemic and I expect that the world economy will decline too because of this. So anticipating that many will focus and invest their money this year sounds a little bit unreasonable. Everyone is busy panicking (sad to say) and doing their very best just to survive in these hard times. But anyway, may I ask you why your prediction is 2022? Is it your gut feel only?

I'm trying to collect bitcoin as much as possible. I don't want to pass another bull run like 2017 ago who just see bitcoin price movement. Can you see the price bitcoin right now? I nevee see the bitcoin price increase for almost 22% in a day before and it is really happening now.

I think bitcoin is the keys the major of altcoin prices have been increasing as well. I have been collecting for at least $20 in a week to buy bitcoin and I never take a decision to sell them before it is price touching $30.000 per one bitcoin. I also colleting ETH as much as possible, but I just bought it if I got profit form my income in trading.

Collect Bitcoin and top altcoins you will be in big profits after halving took place on May, things might not show huge money soon but I'm sure before the year runs out many will be speechless, grab them now while they are still cheap

I am now holding  ETH and BCH because it is one of the coins that i trust that will have more value in the near future. I also think it will be the best if we just hodl all of our altcoins because as of now the crypto market is starting recover slowly, so we should not sell them for us not to have regrets.

If you are holding altcoin before, I do not think it is wise to sell them because the price has gone down. However if you have some fiat, you can invest on top coin such as ETH and EOS. I personally hodl both btc and EOS and currently the price of EOS is a bit above 2. This is a coin that was above 3 dollars some few weeks back. So EOS is a good investment.

I'd disagree here. Unlike the case with Bitcoins, there is no guarantee that an altcoin will give guaranteed return in the future. Every now and then, new altcoins are being created. These altcoins are in most cases technologically superior to the old coins and as a result the older ones get obsolete. So if you hold these coins, there is a good chance that your investment may become worthless.

The only altcoin am holding now is Ethereum. That's about the only altcoin I think is safe to hold at this time because we do not know where the market is heading. I know there are a few other altcoins to be trusted, but for now, Ethereum is my best bet.

Unless you are seeing the price is going to drop again to $3k, you'd be fine selling it.

I have not trade with the aim to get more money via leverage so I have no experience with it but accumulating somehow is very common since 2016. So dumping and buying the coins back would be a good thing to do it you knew what you are doing. If you have no idea then you better just hold you coins and wait til you wanna cash them out.

"There is more reward to those who hold their altcoins till now" they will definitely reap the reward of the holders. What we experienced some few years back may likely repeat itself this time, altcoins seasons will come after the major event might have come and gone, Bitcoin price will determine altcoins price and their seasons. According to some quarters, Bitcoin will hit another all time high this time, what it mean is; even the altcoins will have their all time high too.

Buying those coins and altcoins back will give a good profit at the end of the day. Currently, I choose to buy some of these good altcoins like ethereum and EOS, even the BNB too. Its time to refill my portfolios with potential coins and altcoins for profit.

market is now green again and it seems like you are late if you buy now, and in my opinion prices will continue to increase more next month so if you have a lot of money then buying now is the right time even though you don't get as much profit as people who bought last month
until now I only hold some of top altcoins

I think that if anyone wants to invest in the cryptocurrency market it is best he should do his own research, not invest based on the words of others.
In case you want to refer, here are the currencies that I am currently investing.
ETH
LTC
BNB
BTC

Do not buy any altcoin u til there's a market reversal and we're fully in a bull season or at least out of the bear season. Do not lose money further buying coins.

Many actually. But i am not expecting huge profit from all of them. Because maximum altcoin is shit or dead at this time. But i am really looking forward for couple of altcoin. ETH, XRP, ONE, TOKO, BNB, NANO, NEO are one of them. Those are really popular coin in crypto industry and have very much ability to give you huge profit in this year. ETH is majority altcoin on my holding list. Cause ETH doing really great in this year.

It's not always work and you should understand the pattern even better. Some times we can't argue if the halving will always bring the bullish trend but the opposite thing may happen anytime.
As you can see that it can even become the time to sell their token and coin. That means the halving time can be considered as a time to sell the news and it has a big chance rather than become the bull trend.

If the problem of hodling, buying and selling depends on each strategy. And for now I think almost all the top 20 cmc altcoins have a good opportunity to buy. If for day traders or scalpers they will not think of long-term problems. I'm invested in LTC and TRX.

I'm still holding ethereum and some altcoins that I earned are from the bounties and ye it is good time to buy more while it's cheap and hold, this down market is just temporary so let's grab this opportunity.

Im still holding some erc20 token that i think have future and trying to buy more when the price going down. Maybe the smart idea to do is to buy little by little because we dont know how long this bear market will last. And dont forget to monitor the progress or development of your crypto coins that you hold because some project has zero progress so you need to sell to avoid losses.

I have no idea about hold for every altcoins because i trust bitcoin and Ethereum like right time now purchases. Actually don't forget us back to back 2017 year bitcoin bull run so we can take higher price again at anytime. Although you have long time holder movement then you will make good profits.

The best option right now in my opinion is trading. If we are able to analyze market price movements, I think we can maximize profits from rising or falling price movements. But if we are not able to read price movements, we should not trade and hold coins or tokens that have a large market cap value

The decision to sell or hold is entirely yours. You should know more about the crucial points where you have to choose to hold or sell. How can I answer exactly what you have to do when there are no details? I'm not a shaman, btw. :D

Actually trading or investing is quite easy. Just need to check big and small trends. Buy when there is a sign of a trend up, if it's on the roof then sell, if it turns out the price is rising again do not force yourself, just be thankful for the benefits that have been obtained.

Compare to the regular market, the crypto prices right now are still almost at the bottom meaning it is our best chance to grab more and hold them for a long term. We are in the state of recovering after the huge downfall in which we cannot really say the main reason why the prices goes that deep, we are not sure whether it is an impact of the pandemic virus or the big whales are playing with the market again.

Top 5 currencies are the best to hold for a long term as the market will surely climb up again, we are not yet in the bull season and once we will hit the bull season we can surely earn a good amount of profit if we are patience in holding our assets.

It won't hurt to hold both bitcoins and altcoin, I feel it's going to be a long ride before market recovers, if you're not that good with trading then be prepared for a long term hold, it can take months for Bitcoin to recover finally but the profits will be bigger

   Crypto-portfolio should have Bitcoin, Ethereum and other alt-coins. For me crypto-portfolio without Bitcoin and couple other alt-coins
is not a full crypto-portfolio.
   I hold my portfolio tight now. Like before I still invest from my salary, and this current prices are so tempting for investing more, at least
for me. I could save all my money and invest now at this prices, that would be awesome. I don't plan to sell, but I think all the time where
to find more money for investing now while entire market is down.

I am a holding a big portion of the major altcoins, the top 10 in the market and I think this is the best time to buy more now as the market is down.
As for me, I would say I made a decision when I bought altcoins when bitcoin dump $4k+, and as of now, I would be in profit if I will sell it, but no, I choose to hold it longer for bigger profit.

Yes I am holding few top altcoins choice good volume with lot of investors cap. All right i like to thanks dumping market situation because this time we can buy cheap price like many top altcoins.

In the past few days, I already bought some top coins for future investment. I think, when the price of coins is declining, that's the right time to make a purchase.
Investing in cryptocurrency is fraught with risks, and I have considered all the possible risks that I will face. I dare not invite you to invest, but every effort we make, will surely give satisfying results.

Now is really a very difficult time for everyone and any investment has its own risks, so it should be carefully considered before making a decision. I think you should only invest in some coins in the top 10 CMC right now because these are very popular options for everyone.

Of course, it is important to analyze precisely because the market is not always able to raise prices steadily.

Sell those coins whose projects seem dying and have no clear direction looking at the updates from the team just to cut down your loss. On the other hand, it would be good to buy more and hold until the project gets the needed exposure and marketing. That will surely bring in good profits in the future. I am currently holding unto my ETH, DIVI, DGB, and BNB for a while. At least till i see the marketcap restored to $300 billion I ain't selling none!

Still sticking with ETH.
I guess many investor dont want to take risk these days on ICO because huge percentage of the coin are shit and dont have any future. Thats why it is impossible to go boom again.
And there is a regulation on BTC..
We all have negative thoughts nowadays on cryptocurrency.
But i still believe in ethereum .. small profit is still an income

Might be the right time for us to buy some coins that have high value,now. like eth and btc, before the price becomes very high. but this is all just advice. if I personally only hold a few coins at this time, until one day if it has a good price, then I will sell it again

Unstable conditions and declining coin prices in the market, making it more difficult for traders to make choices. But my investment target is in the long-term, to minimize the risk that will occur, And I have studied the coins that I will buy. I've done it a few times before, and the results always make me smile, because the coin that I hold has a very extraordinary price increase.
Message from me,,, never be afraid to take risks, because without us doing something, we will never get anything. Take advantage of the opportunities that are in plain sight, and invest with quality, not with quantity.

wise decision to sell tokens that will be dying, and has no development for now. I honestly chose to hold, but not to a dying coin. until now I only target bitcoin and ethereum. I don't recommend holding other coins for now

I would say this time is the best period to invest. Although some people at this time may begin to rush to sell their coins.Holding of coins at times like this is a very good decision to make for whosoever desire to enjoy the better profit. A lot of crypto enthusiasts who actually understand the way things are effectively run in crypto will always try to take advantage of this dip period to accumulate more of the valuable coins with cheap prices. Hence,selling once coins with value at cheap prices is not advisable this season. This is a season of investment that usually prepares one for the great harvest that is coming.Hence, holding is the best option at times like this.

My advice, do not to be too fixated on the opinions of others, especially random who do not know the state of your trading or investment transaction history. Isn't the one who really knows it is you?
Well, I just express my opinion in general. In a bearish trend, we better not panic, cut loss can be the best alternative if you are afraid of the risk of greater losses, many considerations of which one is an emergency fund or not. When this trend is still likely to go down, this can be an opportunity to fill the bag, if you are afraid of risk then just wait until there are signs of a trend up, as simple as that. What makes it complicated is greed, that's the attitude that must be corrected. Accept any profit obtained and be grateful for it.

Everything went very down so I would advice we do not sell at lost. If you are at lost next is to excise patients and wait for moon as it will definitely.reach to your buy zone once market bounces back normal. Anyone advising you to sell now isn't giving you good encouragement. Anyway, life has to do with personal choice so anyone has his or her choice to make regarding dump or hodl.

There is still a chance that the market would go down so you have to wait a little more and get the chance to buy coins whatever you want you take profits once market comes back to life. Possible choices of coins that would make huge leap I think are ETH, BTC, XRP, Link, Texos as they were all constantly making their prices stable despite having some crashes in the market before and until now with the corona outbreak which affected the market badly

whatever decision you take must at least be from your own belief.
At the moment the entire crypto market is unpredictable, if you believe in the altcoin you have, it has the potential to rise, why not.
I myself still continue to hodl some of my altcoins until now and buy some of the other top altcoins when the price drops more than 10%.

It's not. You are betting on the wrong time. I told you dude if you must try to bet or buy some coins when the market is getting down a lot. That will not work a lot to buy the coin when it was on a stable position.
I just try to put more than 50% of my assets into the stable coin to anticipate another dump that can come anytime with the deep impact caused by the corona virus. Even some countries were announcing if they will try to make the isolation even longer for the next few months.

I totally agree with your suggestion, selling our assets when the market price is going down is not a good solution, Whatever happens now is a process for leaping prices in the future. Don't panic sell, because it will increasingly make us fall into a deep hole. Patience is the main key when trading, wait until the price improves, and that's the right time to release the assets we have.

I'm currently holding different altcoins in my wallet and what will I do on it, probably I'm gonna hold it until bull run comes. Even we experience a big dump on the previous days still selling is not a good idea and don't ever do panic selling if you really intend to earn up a huge amount of profit. If you are alert on the past few days maybe you hit the good entry point which some of the altcoins are down and that time bitcoin is around 4,000$ but right now it's current is 6,200$ something. Buying in the time where the market is down is always a smart idea because you fill up your bags/portfolio with good coins and at the same time you bought it at a good price.

Wasting the opportunity is one of the reasons why people get regret on a certain thing like they still keep on waiting at a much lower price and if you see the great opportunity take it and don't get back. There's always an unexpected situation in the crypto market that's why we should buy now and keep on holding good coins.

In such situations like today, I think, inexperienced people should just observe the market and make conclusions. If you are ready to lose your money, I advise to buy your favorite perspective tokens a little. Don`t do it without brain, situation is really difficult and I just hold what I have

I am not holding altcoin when moment like this but I will re investing much money in potential altcoin during bigger chance buy and invest bitcoin with lower price, when have good moment to buy and invest when bitcoin and altcoin with lower price, just few weeks later we got moment for halving and price back to higher.

If you mean coins that we must HODLING at this time ie coins do not have the price of course.
current prices are still unstable, so this is a good time to sell some coins that still have value and exchange them for very valuable coins of course.

The halving is a few months close now. I think it is already less than two months, which means that there might be a pump any time some. Te price os EThereum is way too low than what it should be. So I believe buying coins like that will be a good idea. I am not advising anyone to do it, but as a person, that I might do. However, the best and safest for me too is BTC, but, you know, I might be going for some altcoins, but have higher returns, even if the pump is not so much.
The halving we are expecting cannot make the price to continue to go high and I envisage that, either when it is close to that time, or not too long after, some may just start causing panic, though FUD.

Not holding any altcoin except AWC. I bought some more during the dip and I am happy I did. If you are to invest into any altcoin ensure to do due research about the project.

Well, AWC is a good coin it's the only coin I can recommend. Thank me later! DYOR still.

Right now im buying Tem.
When the market settles post corona the price will rise, plus news of it making deals to become a national digital currency for more that one country...I wouldnt be surprised to see it go $1+

At this moment I am holding BTC and buying ETH and NWC. no point in selling low, imo.

what do you hodl?

you think? i'm sticking with my NWC, BAT and KAVA haha

That is not really an option for the majority of the people in the market, trading is an extremely hard activity in which only a few are able to get any kind of profits and to change from being a long term holder to a trader is difficult not only in term of the skills needed, which are completely different, but also in the mentality you should have, a long term holder must keep his coins no matter what even if the price crashes but a trader needs to get out of his positions as soon as possible to minimize his losses and that kind of adjustment is not easy to make from one day to the other.

I think holding altcoins depends on which altcoins you are holding. Are you holding a token that is worthless and very low and has less than 2 million dollars in all of market cap? That may not make sense to hold it, that might be just a fun project that you wanted to invest for the fun of it but when it comes to investment that is not a good idea.

However if you hold altcoins like ethereum right now, that makes perfect sense, we have already seen it go up 40% in the very recent markets, that means ethereum has already made someone more profits than any stock could make. That is the type of altcoins you need to hold, you can still go into ethereum because between market recovering and ethereum developing we will see it go beyond 300 once again for sure, it just take some time.

I prefer holding bitcoin especially for safety but for the purpose of profit holding altcoin isn't bad,but make sure you buy top altcoins with good use case,but presently the market is down that means you will have to hold a little longer but make sure bitcoin is also among your holdings.

Hodl altcoin is another way of profit in the crypto market. Again hodl altcoin is the way of huge losses in the crypto market. Everything is up to you, how you research and what coins you buy. If you buy a good coin that has a good future, here is the chance to make a good profit. And if you buy random coins, there is a possibility of loss.

Well hodling riskier coins can get you high profits hehe. I agree that this is rookie thinking, but i'm always hodling a few trustworthy coins and one new coin that i believe it has a bright future.

Personally, I store ERD tokens. They are relatively recent in the market and have already shown good results in the technology itself. As for your question on the sale, the choice is only yours, based on technical analysis and analysts' forecasts. It's my personal opinion.

At this point of time, I am currently holding into altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC) and Ripple (XRP) and I am not planning to sell any of those Altcoins I do have in my portfolio for the reason that despite of what we are currently experiencing right now, I do still believe into the capacity and capability of the Altcoins I have in my portfolio to recover their prices once the market have been back to normal again which I do believe can happen after this pandemic virus or even while this situation is on going because a good project will remain on stand despite of any circumstances. As of the moment, I am planning to purchase more cryptocurrencies to put into my account while the prices are still somehow cheap and affordable and would love to keep those I hold and wait up until the market recovers for I do believe this is just a temporary situation and everything will be fine soon. So I would just stick into holding my Altcoins and will not sell any of it until market recovers.

Actually this is not good time to invest in altcoins because of the market situation. Better you can hold bitcoin rather than altcoins and it will be best choice. Bitcoin will give you enough return and If you don't want to hold bitcoin then you can choose LTC & ETH, these two coins are good to hold after bitcoin.
I am holding bitcoin, ETH,LTC,LTC and few shit coins :( value is extremely low thats why I can't sell )

That’s your choice, everyone has different purpose as to why they have invested and I also don’t know which coins you have invested your money. You should study the coins and do some technical analysis; if you think the coins are going to recover later you should keep on holding so that you don’t miss out. If you feel the coin you have invested is not right for you, you can either exchange them for better coins or sell them, it’s all up to you.

I have invested in ETH, Bitcoin, ChainLink, and Stellar. I am not going to be selling yet. Over 70% of my investment is in Bitcoin, and I strongly believe they will recover, they are all already going up.

It's investors choice, if you are satisfied with your loss or gains you can decide to withdraw for Fiat at any time and if you are a fan of long term investment like me you won't see anything hard holding for long term, coins like cosmos chainlink BNB are good for long term

I'm buying coins for the long run at the moment, as I'm not seeking for a fast profit. I filled my bags with BAT and NWC as they have working products that will people start using sooner or later. Also holding KAVA but for different reasons.

For me, that is good enough reason to purchase the coin and hold it, as the price will increase.

And I personally start with news sources and track the market situation every day for a specific asset. The coin is growing - selling. Coin falls - buy. Good news related to the development of the project - buy. Such a simple method. And before, I also hold. There was a profit, but less.

well if you hold it for a long time that might be good for you because the price of the altcoins that you're holding might raise up.

At the same time, it may fall. How can you know that the price will rise? Have you looked to the future?). It all depends on the project itself and news sources. I think that your proposed strategy is not the most effective. I personally would have been active in the cryptocurrency market, as you can find good movements there.

Holding some of the best coins in the market is not wrong and as we know those coins can give huge profits during a bull market, holding other coins however can be very risky, but if you took your time doing your due diligence then that is fine, but the problem is that most newbies never do anything like that and just invest in a coin based on their hype or what they read on social media and it is clear as day that is a bad idea that will soon make them lose their money.

I am holding so much altcoins right now especially those altcoins that are more likely not trash and does have a chance to bounce back or rise again when the altcoin season comes. This probably the main goal of mine to establish an stocks or store an altcoin so that I would be able to have a good and high profit when the altcoins bounce back again.

Indeed, newbis are the type of people to follow trend due to lack of experience and knowledhe towards what altcoin should you put your money in but i think its part of their growth, they need to experience it to learn it.
Well for me i am not holding so much altcoins, my top altcoins now in my portfolio are ETH, XRP and LTC, i have other few but i am not into it as much as i do with those e altcoins i have mentioned.

you can’t be 100% sure, but if you have been in the market for a long time then you can understand what prospects the project has. The project analysis skill appears only when you gain experience. your experience is the path to making correct predictions of pump or dump

Right now I am holding around 80% in Altcoins and just 20% in Bitcoin. Out of the 80% I have around 60% in the top 100 cryptocurrencies and 20% in mid to low cap coins. I think everyone should own at least some Altcoins for the future, mostly the top coins such as ETH, LTC, XRP, LINK and a few others. Just make sure to look for good solid projects with a good team backing them along with products. 

That depends... on which coins you are holding. It’s not every altcoin that’s going to be profitable, some of them are going to still fall even after now. So, if you’re going to be holding coins for a long time you should be considering the top coins. Ethereum might be a good choice, not minding that some have been saying that it has a scaling problem. Then most of these top hundred coins are also a good choice.

Other coins you should invest in are Bitcoin Cash, 0x token, XRP, Augur, etc. Mentioned Augur because it has been going up like mad recently, had up to 16% increase today.

like me, which holds the most in eth and litecoin. I'm sure the two altcoins will show good development, so that later they will exceed the percentage of bitcoin developments. although right now the price is falling, but I still hold it and even buy more

many altcoins that are held today most are not worthy alias has been abandoned, whereas when it first grew very promising because most want to make a profit for a moment, so abandoned and not noticed again and instead made a new altcoin with the same goal only to seek profits.
be happy for those of you who still hold altcoin top 10, which still always survives well, although maybe currently being lethargic but it will definitely bounce back with the development of bitcoin that is starting to recover.

I don't currently hold any altcoins. I moved it all to USDT and waited for another better opportunity to continue re-investing in this market. And if you haven't sold altcoins since the market collapsed, it's better to keep holding them, if you sell them, you'll lose out in this market.

Great move, I don't any valuable alts holding other than those shits coins I got in the past from airdrop and bounties which did not appear in any exchanges. Holding ALTS for now is the best option espcecially we can't really predict the flow of the market as it is constantly changing. Switching it to stablecoins other option as you have not to worry about any losses that much then you switch back to your prefer coins when the market is going stable.

If you can, I recommend buying the dip, but the issue is that your own dip is another person's moon so in this case your dip becomes dipper and you would probably be left with no option than to wait for months or years before you can take out your capital.

The main coins that i have is Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB. For altcoins i am still hold NPXS and VIDT.
For current situation i am keep hold and buy ( only top coins and not ICO coin )when the price dipp.

Unless you are certain about the coin, holding altcoins with the market condition is a very big risk unless you are very sure of what you are holding. I am not a fan of long holding anyway. I am a day trader and as I buy I sell off once I see little profits. I have been hurt severally through holding so I do not try such anymore.

Am holding just one (1) altcoin and that is, ETH, although I missed to sell at a good price but am not alarmed because it is a good or rather the best altcoin so far.  Also, depending on the type of altcoin you are holding currently, if you believe in it and think it will recover when all calms down then you can hold if not, sell off and move on. And if you want to buy, it would be better to wait a bit more because of this pandemic. Lastly, about what I will do; am waiting for a good time to buy and hold more of ETH, BNB and Stellar.

why do you still believe in VIDT? do you really think that this project will survive? the lost community competition on Binance and a lot of people stop to believe in them.

I don't think it's wise holding altcoins as it is now because of marker condition but it's all about choice. I know of some persons that are holding altcoins that got dipped after they bought and when it was filling they refused to sell. But as for me, I can't hold any altcoins at this point instead and trade them (buying and selling them).

i suggest never be hopeless always this kind of situation prove as a big turning point especially in crypto. This will remain and going no where keep paitacnce and believe in your coins. Good time is not so far you will be defiantly rewarded for your investment patiently

The question you should answer or rather ask yourself is, what level of trust do you have in the altcoins you are holding? People who are holding BTC or ETH will hardly be disturbed because they believe in the coins as well as knowing that once the market changes positively they will have a greater chance of recovering than most coins. Thus, check the coin to know if you have to sell or hold. At this juncture, holding potential good coins is the best thing or rather stay in USDT while waiting for good entry point.

Previously I tried to be a daily trader but encountered a failure, so now I have switched to holding for long.
Here are the coins that I am holding:
Bitcoin
Bitcoin Cash
Litecoin
Ethereum
Binance Coin
Stellar

Holding coins especially altcoins for a very long time is not the best of ideas because most of them end up as useless projects without any real value on the market. Unless you have done a good research about the project I would not advise you to hold any coin from an IEO or ICO. Many crypto investors have lost huge amount of money during 2017 and 2018.

Yeah, based on my experience, its not really good, even with coins that has good trading volume, it could also fail in the long run, the most stable is only bitcoin not altcoins, so holding altcoins is really a high risk, we can even take ETH for an example, it dump below $100 from almost $1400 of ATH.

We all do research, but its just that the future is not in our control anymore, even devs are saying that every time investors are blaming the project when it dump.

holding altcoin is indeed very risky if in a long time because the value always goes down can not last long, maybe you can hold the main coins such as bitcoin, eth, eos and others, I used to hold the initial neblio coin for $ 1 / coin in 2017 but in the end it dropped by half, fortunately I didn't keep the coin too long

If you want to get huge losses then hold it,  holding altcoins is not suitable strategy for me but still you are the one who will decide at the end of the day. I just want to day trade it because I have potential to earn in juat swing or momentum play of an altcoin. If you will hold make sure that you will buy liquid altcoins with high volume innorder for you to lessen the risks. There are now many people who regretted their decisions after they hold their altcoin but it still up to you.

Majority is Ethereum and Binance(BNB) because these 2 is what i believe that may bring me Good amount of profit after this crisis ends.
yeah but you should have sold when the price still up first week of this month and bought again Low on that same day as the Fall happens within 16 hours
stay holding for now because we have no chance of selling as we are in the dip,unless we badly need because of this pandemic so maybe some of us will sell sooner or later.

for now I think you are a little late because prices have gone up from a drastic decline late last year.
but buying now is also possible because there will be halving in the next 40 days.
hopefully it will be the beginning of a market increase.

It was too late for me to sell the ETH I was holding, a few weeks ago I bought some ETH to hold but unfortunately, its price had collapsed and now I have lost more than 40%. Now that I continue to hold it and wait for the market, it may be a long time before I can get my profits back.

actually, I'm one of the people who will hold Altcoin right now, specifically ethereum. what you said will be right when prices continue to fall, but that is the risk. however, if prices recover, altcoin prices will also recover, especially ethereum. however, there is always a risk from that. it can be a big advantage when the market moves to your liking. so far, I feel that prices will really recover

What do you mean previously, like before or after this Corona situation? The market was very volatile for the last 14 days, so i believe it is very dangerous tod daily trade.

I did reduce my daily trading a little, but it didn't stop it. I still trade altcoin in small quantities. it's a bit risky but I'm still in luck with a small profit. the best in conditions like this is medium-term trading, we can wait for the movement of several altcoins that have the potential to rise and fall quickly.

Agreed, time to fill our alt bags!

higher the risk= higher profits! haha

You indeed say, but when the risks faced are not carried out with sufficient abilities and skills it will be the same as being stupid. people experienced in daily trading and long-term investment have good skills in choosing and trading. when a beginner wants to risk his fortune in the market like now maybe it is stupid.

I completely agree with you. However, you should follow one of the most important rules of crypto. Only trade with money you can afford too loose :)

Short term holding will never give you a huge profit, you will still hold if there is a high increase because you want more profit that you get. Although you bought ETH at $100 lasf year then will still hold, you already know that halving event will come and you will make it as the final destination. This is why I set my strategy when I bought cryptocurrency, if my intention is for short term strategy then I will set the profit that I must get so when the price has successfully reached then I will sell my asset and kick my greedy. But when my intention was for long term then I shouldn't look any information that spread, just ignore how much fall the price and focus on hold that will be better.

it must, if you save crypto assets that do not have a price development then it is better to sell then replace with another top crypto. right now I still keep some of the top altcoins and would rather wait until the market fully recovers and the price of crypto returns significantly.

I used to hold a lot of shitcoins when I first got into crypto but some of them can help grow your stacks for the top coins which is what I have been able to do. PoS and Masternode coins have really help me out on stacking ETH, LINK, LTC and XRP, as we have seen a lot of MN's are scams but there are some good ones that turn a profit and can be used to help build your top coin stacks even Bitcoin if you choose to stack more sats.

The market is still in a recovery phase so there are still chances to buy more potential altcoins and bitcoin that will surely grow from long term holding. If we have hold altcoins already, i guess holding it even more will not make us lose so better not to sell them today.

I hold several altcoins that i found interesting because their project.
If you confused whether you want to hold or not, just find out about how good is their project friend,
you will know that you must hold the coin or just sell and find other coins to hold.

As long as you dont sell your eth then you're not losing your money. Wait for a price increase, it might take a long period but for sure it will bounce back. Im holding eth as well and didnt expect the price to decline, I thought this year is good for crypto because of the event that can change the movement of the market. But its really unpredicted, lets just wait for another bullish market.

a market situation that is still weak is not the right time to sell, it will only make you suffer losses unless your situation is pressed. I mean if you have investments that are difficult to develop, then sell losses and replace them with a worthy investment, one way to avoid large losses.

you're right, sooner or later, the price will definitely be higher. apart from that, it looks like the price of bitcoin also maintains its balance at the current price of $ 6k. that makes me pretty sure that this is a good enough opportunity to hold and own altcoin. although the main priority is bitcoin, I think having a popular altcoin also has the same or even greater potential than bitcoin when prices start to recover quickly. so, I chose to hold popular altcoins like ethereum for now.

Totally agreed on this. You also can short altcoins since the situation is not disastrous and you can predict when there will be a little pump.
But mainly you want to hodl on or reconsider investments in general

You're right, if we haven't sold then we haven't lost. The current loss is only temporary and when the market recovers he will surely be happy for the profits he has made from investing in ETH. And of course he must have enough patience to wait until it happens

It's not yet. Crypto has a very big chance to recover from the dump and it's happening right now. Im still seeing my portfolios are also moving into the right way. My loses is changing into the profit right now.
Just never try to sell any crypto if you have it in your wallet. Crypto is a new way for people to do their payment everydays right now.

that could happen if we hold good coins only, but for shittoken or coins we will loss our money if keep hold while market crashing. in this condition only major coins and project that have usefull product able to exist in market , and another project will die . traders and investors prefer to hold major coins, it will give them certainity.

My portfolio has definitely taken a hit the last few weeks.
I have hope for some lesser know projects though
For example digital currencies such as Tem which are actively in talks with governments to provide them with a national digital currency are going to come out of this stronger than ever.
I can see TEM going $1+ when the economy settles and announcements about partnerships with governments are announced.

You need to reassess your position knowing all the possibilities you'll be able to cut your loses and try position yourself back and recover,
though it's another risky move but if successfully escalated your chance to earn or recover back is really high.
Hold if you do trust the project and you still see the progress out from the developing teams.

While losing money is something that every investor and trader has to go through at the same time we cannot afford to lose money at every single opportunity since our funds are not unlimited, I have lost money but I have learned great lessons form each one of those instances and became a much better investor and trader because of it, but what is a newbie going to learn when he losses his money by investing in bad coins? He will learn to avoid those coins, but that is knowledge that he could have acquired in the forum for free without the need to lose money over that lesson.

Depend with altcoin I have now, if good position on coin market I will hold several months later and waiting give profit or keep stay with lower price. If last point happen with my assets better I sell and take party with other investment coin and hope lucky with get much profit.

The Altcoins market in my opinion was surely a great investment for a short term. But I guess you could easily make profit in altcoins as long as you could choose the right token to invest to.
But at this moment the best thing to do is to invest in the dump market surely the best choices of investment would be in bitcoin because still the demand of bitcoin was high even if it would do a lot of dumps in the market it would not matter since it would recover easily at any matter.

Solid project where investors are still investing are coins that you can hold for more months or up to a year, there are always potentials that this top rated coins will go up when bitcoin start to rally back. Sentiments of all cryptos are relying still with bitcoin so better to buy and hold only those who are still on it ground surviving the bear seasons.
You can sell those coins that are not performing then invest with good coins that currently low in price.

Instead of selling at lower prices, I prefer to HODL altcoins. The whole market is in the recession period, fixing the market conditions will take time. I prefer to wait a few more years and see what will happen next.

What's your main point. I believe you are still holding altcoin caused by you are believing in the project. Im still holding altcoin too. Some people may feel skeptical about that but whatever they said about that as long as i still in the decent profit and im still holding it. Just hold based on use case and fundamental of the project.

It depends on how profitable you want to be. If you want stable profit, just buy top tier cryptos (Bitcoin, ether, litecoin, Binance, etc) and ride the wave as Bitcoin pulls them all up. The crypto market now is completely driven by hype, and especially hype tied to Bitcoin. I personally hold ether, Bitcoin, finance, because I think Bitcoin drives growth, ether tags with Bitcoin but performs better, and binance is just severely undervalued.

I agree that most of the top coins are the best way to go when buying Altcoins however there are others where we can profit from. Masternodes can be a great way but you must buy the right ones with good products backing them as they seem to perform the best when Bitcoin starts to fall. NRG, Flits and Midas have performed very well in the past couple of months just to name a few to look out for. There are a lot of scams out there as well so just be careful when looking to get into masternodes.

good idea if you buy tokens or coins today because the price is still below and in my opinion the price is quite cheap, so if you have money it's better to buy some top coins like eth, eos, tron and others, I'm sure after the corona virus outbreak is over everything will return to normal

But we cannot determine how long will it takes to totally over this pandemic so we cannot determine when the market will return back.  The world is totally in chaos while the market is down and this should be an anvantage for buying valuable altcoin. Its time we can add and hold altcoins in our portfolio. Buy some alts that can be a big thing in the future not how cheap the coins is. Holding altcoins will be a great strategy but medium risk.

I avoid altcoins that have no price development at all and would rather sell at a loss (should) rather than stick with junk altcoin. I have converted some of these altcoins and replaced them with BTC to get a safe investment.

In 2017 and 2018 I tried to become a daily trader but I couldn't afford to do that, after continuously losing money I decided to become a long-term holder.
Currently my biggest goal is to try to increase my bitcoins.

With the nature of the market and Cryptocurrency entirely, holding altcoin is a big risk unless it's Altcoin with potential, altcoins with working products and altcoins with good team and development. We have many scammers out there looking for how to pump and dump Thier coins on investors best is to study the market before one could invest to avoid having heartache. This is a serious issue in Crypto world. Fake projects with fake team

Holding depends on which coins you invested in and which one you are holding... All you need do is observe the token if it's worth holding.. as at now, I can only vouch for btc, eth, and bnb.. holding any other altcoins asides eth and bnb is not advisable except you know the project to be a stable one or have good values and team to back it up.

I am holding only qualitys alts at the moment and major hodl includes eth, ada and some neo. Although tokens can be risky but i think under valued tokens like npxs, xyo, atl and evx can also prove to be good investments in next season.

It's a decision you have to arrive at on your own. No advice on the internet will tell you everything you need to know because we all have our bias.

The reality is I am not a party to or of holding instead I trade my daily trading, I do not keep altcoins because of past experience. I have been hurt and I took my personal decision on how to handle altcoins, there are good altcoins out there . But one has to take personal decision which is it.

in a market situation like this, holding your assets is the right way to avoid losses, unless the value of your assets decreases every day so sell immediately and then replace with a coin that is better than before. I personally do not do much other than waiting for the market to improve.

The most important is to choose that asset that has a great potential as it will surely survive despite of the market struggle.
So even if you are holding, you will still feel confident and you'll not worry on the dumps that you'll be seeing.

This would help, you have to relax yourself if you are holding for long term and just focus on the target price you set.

I hold two altcoins in this year like one xrp and btc even i was purchase long time ago with more cheap price. But in the market situation very important for long time holding at least profits time.

if you are an investor it is better to hold and while waiting for the market situation to improve. but if you are a trader, then you can still make a profit by trading some of your assets on a large exchange, but you must remember that trading is high risk. It is important that you are always ready before or after making a decision in any case.

Don't bother trying to figure what to do between holding or not, all you have to do is research on the projects, if they are worth holding them do not hesitate, promising altcoins like Bitcoin cash and Monero, Litecoin, BNB, Cosmos, Tezos, are very worth holding

I suggested to you mate just make a decision now to buy because for me this price of the crypto is ready pump again we don't know the time and day when it happen but to be sure that you have more altcoins purchase now and hold it.

But if you still have doubt it because the possibility to dump again cryptocurrency is there you can wait but once crypto pump you lose the opportunity but if you are taking the risk right now just to make sure you are prepared of what will outcome in the end is either you lose money you gain a lot of profit.

Yes, but even in holding coins we must understand and see market conditions at all times, because the benefits will not come automatically if we do not move to monitor them, so what is very important in holding coins is to monitor the market at all times.

what I do every day, of course, monitor the investment I have, that the price of crypto in the market changes all the time and if you have bad investments like coins that are difficult to develop and don't even have a trading volume then sell immediately. a little suggestion, that to find a safe investment you can invest your money in the form of Bitcoin or some kind of stable coin like USDT. at least you will not experience a loss during the current market period.

Holding altcoins can be profitable however the term altcoin includes too many coins, there are thousands of coins out there, if you are referring to coins like ethereum you are right, if you hold coins like that then you are bound to make money eventually, but if you are referring to one of the thousands of coins in the market that do not really have any hope of ever reaching success then holding those coins is a huge mistake because in the current conditions of the market it is impossible for those coins to give any profits regardless of how long you hold them.

Like I tell the people I know that are in crypto. The best alts to hold are the ones in the top 100, mainly the ones that are in the top 20 as they seem to be the best ones that perform well once the market starts to rise. I have never been a big fan of XRP however I have been buying XRP for the past month, it has taken me 5 years to buy XRP as I got into crypto in 2015. There are some gems outside the top 100, just look for coins with an active team and active developments.

Buying, selling or holding altcoins currently, depends on the type of altcoin it is. Some people holding a coin like Ethereum hardly bothers about dumping since it is obvious that being a top altcoin it will still rise again. Also, some people holding most major altcoins hardly bothers or easily moved atimes. But for selling, it depends on what the person want, maybe want to sell for profit or sees other reasons to. So my opinion is, take your time to study the altcoins you are holding in your portfolio and know if it is still good for holding or if it is better counting your losses, selling and going for others.

Im holding an altcoin that is not included on top 10, but I stick to it and never sell because im seeing that it has a progress even two years already passed when the time the price of it is skyrocketing. I have btc and eth as well and been holding it for quite some time now, im planning to take profit in the coming days and will hold the remaining for long term.

And can you share its name? I also hold QKC, it is not in the top altcoin in this market. But in my opinion this is a good and promising altcoin, I am holding it long term and will never sell it until it goes up to $ 0.1.

Yes I agree that there are other coins out side the top 100 that are doing very well when it comes to developments and maybe one day they can break into the top 100 cryptocurrencies. I myself hold several coins out side the top 100 that are doing great things such as SCC and Midas.

Most of the altcoins has performed woefully for the past two years. XRP and NEO for example. Imagine holders for this past period and they have lost over 200% of the bull market price of 2017. Nevertheless, if someone believes in the future, then holding in the crypto space is for a long time

true, all seems to be from the influence of bitcoin which is also not good, all altcoin so far has not been able to escape from the movement of bitcoin. altcoin is rarely able to move on its own with the ability it has to be able to move towards improvement. there are some who can move well because of the businesses they build such as ethereum, BNB, XRP. now is the best time if you want to invest your capital in altcoin, because everything is leading to improvement.

I do not avoid any altcoin at this time, because everything has a pleasant impression for us to monitor. so it will be very difficult for all of us to predict and make choices about our coins to buy ...hard choice.. ???

I don't have interest in many altcoins like in 2018 anymore, they've failed me too many times and I'm tired of altcoins, I prefer Bitcoin over and over again because Bitcoin don't disappoint, with time Bitcoin always rise and fall and most time altcoins fail to follow

Some of the altcoins have really disappointed and though market has also fallen during those period but after that some coins have even risen but the mentioned coins has really disappointed to the extend as those were once the coins even I was looking to stay invested in for the long term basis. Yes it has fallen badly and investment done in such coins has resulted in losses for now. Hopefully some rise will lead to minimizing of some loses from it.

I am holding a few XRP and ETH and they are making a profit for me right now. However, I still hold them and waited for the Bitcoin price to peak and stop, at which point I was pretty sure the prices of the altcoins I was holding would increase more than they currently are.

As an altcoin investor, you only need to hold the top few altcoins. and do not forget to always monitor the market situation and also the assets you have, on the one hand update altcoin that is difficult to develop.

yeah, most projects are going down, but i usually hodl all my altcoins, because you never know with these projects, and some could reach big uprises in the future, and bounty money is small to take it out immediately, so i keep it, and when invest my money, i do an analysis and follow the project, but do not trade if there is any development ongoing

Yes, sometimes a lot of Altcoins have a good impression, and we find it harder to choose. I am wondering between the two options, ETH and XRP. I only have a small amount of capital, so I want to focus on an altcoin.

if the coins you hold have no price development at all then my advice is to sell immediately and then replace with the top altcoin which is safer for investment or at least always has an upward price movement. like Ethereum, eos, binance and xlm.

To the few top altcoins, a trader has to monitor it daily so that he can calculate the profits that he's gaining. Otherwise, the same as being a bitcoin holder, a plan of holding it for long term no need to monitor it because you just leave it and wait.

Eth is ideal.
Proof of stake is about to blow and everyone is busy stacking up their at least 32 ETH to be eligible. AFAIK, there will be pools that you can contribute even you don't have the minimum req.

Holding kick & aion for long time.  Kick for upcoming exchanger launched soon.  And aion for they are already launched mainnet. Now altcoin bullish mode. If technically a few coins can be targeted.  It is possible to get profit out of them. Thats why i hold altcoin..

is this the kick(https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/kick-token/markets/)  you are referring ?
I've invested in that coin in the past, as of now I have no holding anymore of that coin, but I got profit in the past, looking at its volume now, it seems like they need an exchange that could provide them a stable volume, Kucoin is a great exchange but they are only getting $10K trading volume at the moment.

 holding some Altcoins wont be a bad idea ,every coin has its season although you have to be sure of the project you are holding  by carrying out you due research to be sure its not a pump and  dumped projects.

There are some good Altcoins out there that might give you good profits if the expected bull run comes . right now we are waiting patiently for  the almighty bitcoin halving . if it affects the price of bitcoin as some analyst suggest then a bull run might come for altcoins.

l prefer to hold top altcoins, as you know there are a lot of cryptocurrencies and l would say most of them are really useless and we must try to find one that is really profitable. It is not an exaggeration to say that numbers of cryptocurrencies are getting up day by day. That means it is getting hard to find a reliable and profitable one. That is why l try always to choose one of the top altcoins. l believe they are most profitable than among other currencies.

I am not a full holder, so I only hold a few ETHs and some altcoins from the bounty reward campaign. I really hope that there is a miracle, where altcoin from reward
bounties which currently has no price can go up many times, it must be very fun. Nobody really knows what will happen, :D

More than ninety percent of the alt coins lost their valuation and majority of the projects were forced to close their doors because the value has gone down so bad that they had financing issues, you can hope some of the projects will revive but it is highly unlikely. The lesson i learned about the last crash is to never hold any alt coins that are not in the top ten for a long period of time.

for altcoin that does not enter the top level of coinmarketcap, it is better to take profits in a short time, I have experienced several losses, due to too long holding a new coin, even though at that time I was sure to experience an increase, but the longer the price goes down

top 10 altcoins might be an option for me to buy it and hold it like ETH, BNB and Chainlink become my choice to buy it

Investing in safe coins will surely depend a lot on the price of Bitcoin because if Bitcoin does not increase, you certainly will not be able to make a profit from the coins in the top 10. However, I still like coins that are outside the top 200 because sometimes there are some coins that give me very high profits and if lucky, that coin will be held by a lot of investors.

I myself am the same as you I only hold a few altcoins and indeed I think in the future there will be a price increase but I also do not know for sure with this situation the market is very terrible can go up suddenly and down suddenly too, and that makes me think rather long to sell or hold

for altcoin, of course, that's the best. for now, it seems like people focus on bitcoin. many feel that there will be a bounce after this decline. however, less than 13 hours, halving will arrive. this will most likely trigger the price of bitcoin to increase.

Yeah i am also holding altcoin. I think now is the best time to buy altcoin cause every altcoin price is low, if you do research about altcoin you saw ada price was (2016-17) 300 satoshi than its hit almost 10000 satoshi in the past bull market. If you research about  xem price it was 400 satoshi than it hits 12000 satoshi.
Now ada price 500 satoshi xem price 400 satoshi so it is the best time to buy them and hold them until next bull market.

Investing in the top 10 is fine, but that's only the option for those who want to be safe. And it certainly will not bring you too much profit, you should conduct research and search for good altcoins outside the top 10. When the bull market starts, they can bring more than profit for you

Keep holding your altcoins and buy more if you want. I think the altcoins season is very near. Just need to wait after Bitcoin halving and Bitcoin is settled above $10k, then it's time of altcoin season

Bitcoin must break ATH and pass $ 20k, that's the time for the altcoin season to begin. Now is the time when the hype of Bitcoin is shown, if you buy altcoin at this stage then I believe you will lose at least 30-50% in the next few months.

This is the truth my friend!!

I feel Zilliqa will shoot up this week, look at the white pages  ;D

I'm currently hodling ABBC Coin. And it gives me a good profit. :)

When I look at the chart of the altcoin you are holding, its price keeps going down and no pump appears. So how can you get profit with it? And it is not a really good altcoin to invest

The Halving Bitcoin moment is coming soon and the price of Bitcoin is still below $ 9000 after touching $ 10k before. It takes time for Bitcoin to touch $ 20k again and this could happen this year. Altseason will follow when the price of Bitcoin is able to touch above $ 10k

ETH is best option. Day by day others altcoin are fall . I also lossed much usd by holding altcoin without eth. But LTC also good. If you hold long term you will choose it. I earn some usd from LTC.

Well I would prefer to trade Bitcoin than holding any altcoin now because it might get to where it won't be able to recover again. One needs to thread with caution so as not to lose heavily.

ethereum and litecoin have price movements that follow bitcoin price movements price movements are very stable while other altcoins are very different, or maybe you can try on bitcoin cash which in my opinion has a fairly stable price movement too and you should know that in cryptocurrency there is a risk of movement price so you have to take advantage of that movement to be able to get a profit.

it all depends of course on the type of altcoin itself, if indeed the altcoin that we will hold is quite potential and has a high trading volume then it is possible that if we are able to hold for a long time the altcoin we hold will be able to provide benefits in the future, but before that we have to be careful and more observant in choosing the type of altcoin that we will hold because there are already many altcoins that have not been able to survive for a long time because many are leaving to invest in related altcoins so that related altcoin projects cannot be trusted for the future.

If Bitcoin moves sideways now that halving has been done, do you think altcoins won't spike up in price? Many altcoins dumped massively while BTC was on uptrend, especially in satoshi value. As for me, right now 60% of my portfolio will remain in BTC, while the remaining 40% will be in 3 altcoins. I already bought more ETH and BNB today, hoping for the best. Soon ETH 2.0 news should cause an uptrend for ETH everything being equal, just my opinion anyway.

Those coins are overpriced and there was no reason for people to invest in those coins except ethereum that is still having a lot of potentials to touch its ATH again. As long as people try to hold the trusted coins and whatever rank that already achieved by the coin and it will always very profitable. 

Well I hold ethereum and I buy some when the price is drop, I will hold it for long term because I know that ethereum is one of a project that runs for a long term, I forgot bnb is one of a good project that opens for a long run also it has on exchange it was a good project.

Alter coin holding is never a smart idea for me.I think trading is a smart idea.Some earning is possible through it.I have held many altar coins.
I didn't get anything good out of it.However, if there is any stacking, it can be held.It seems possible to get something good from there.

You can't say they are overprice, these coins have already dumped many times and yet they still survive and grow a bit.
they have not fully recovered yet from the dump, so I guess they are a good buy IMO, of course except fro BNB which has made its ATH last year.

for you it could be overprice but that is your opinion, that is why everyone may have different outcome in investing because we don't have the same opinion on a certain coin or project, invest what we think is right, besides we are all betting here.

I am holding some coin in my wallet and i think many traders holding too. Everyone waiting for the next bull run. which preserve come about anytime, but unfortunately, we should to be serene for the reason that the bull move along motionless not comes in this month. If you would like to bad buy the altcoin, I presumption you notwithstanding gain time to make that, but you prerequisite to evaluate additional to recover possible altcoins. You tin good deal the uppermost 10 coin slant and handhold it until both coin be capable of increase, but that will hardship extensive currency to purchase entirely of them.

Holding Altcoins can pay off if people are patient. I have noticed that some masternode coins have been performing very well against Bitcoin in the past several months like StakeCube, Midas and Flits which have all done very well just to name a few. So holding Alts can be very profitable, its just finding the right ones at the right time before they explode.

Just invest properly and choose the right time to buy, you will surely make a huge profit from this market. I think altcoin is always the right choice for everyone and in my opinion, should consider investing in the top 10 best coins.

However, you do not always make a profit as the crypto market is very volatile, and even a small mistake can cost you more than half of your assets in a short period of time.

Thats true altcoins are profitable if you happen to invest in a worthy coins. Thus finding that kind of coin is what we need to do to gain profit from holding alts. Top alts are often the good coins for long term but there are not popular coins with potential as well, just do some digging to know it.

The trick is not the act of HODLing but the type of altcoin being HODLed. Not all altcoins are worth HODLing and this is why it is very important when it comes to the choosing of an altcoin to HODL. An extensive research is needed to choose among the many the very few altcoins that have higher chance of rising within the period of time set by the investor.

There are thousands of altcoins some useless and shitcoin, holding altcoin for long term is very risky, if your trying to invest with altcoin it is wisely to invest with small amount of portion of your fund in crypto currency and only invest what you can afford to lose .

Yes and that is what I mentioned in here a couple of months ago about having a mixed portfolio of top 100-200 coins and some potential coins outside the top 200 that look to have a active dev team and working products which the coins I mentioned above do have and continue to work on the projects which is why we see some coins out side the top 200 perform well and not many people know about them.

It's not very risky to hold altcoin. Did you think people will actually buy shitcoin when it comes to invest in the altcoin? it's better for you to see the fact if there are a bunch of altcoins that worth to invest. A lot of major coins were also coming from the small altcoins too.

I feel like most of top tier altcoins are going to make a big progress and will make profits for investors
patience is going to pay off

I think Holding altcoins must be better if you choose the right one. At this moment  I am holding many altcoins, also some of my capital I converted into Bitcoin and USDT! Now i have Xem, Ripple, Ada, Energi, trx and some other coins are available. If you want to buy and hold, then you can Buy Neo, ETH, XRP, and zec! These coins have a high potential to be x3 to x5!

You must be careful when you want to hold a coin because when you hold a coin then you must be able to be neutral and not be affected by anything because sometimes some people who do hold it until they are still easy to be affected by the situation at the exchange place.

If you are confident in the project team then why not buy it. Now prices for altcoins are very low, so you should buy something. The most important thing is to be sure of the project and the coin personally. I myself no longer hold any altcoins, only btc.

I think that just choosing Bitcoin as a long-term investment is more than enough because the market has been on a rising trend in the past few days, and Bitcoin nearly reached $10,000 yesterday. In my opinion, there is no need to invest altcoins because these coins often depend on Bitcoin prices, and you cannot be sure of anything because the risks of altcoins are huge.

I like the first statement. It is believed that before one become confident in a project means a thorough research has already been made on the project and its coin. There are many altcoins with great future on the market which are equally good to HODL with BTC. Especially the proof of stake coins.

Altcoins can be a great investment if you do your research

In my opinion, holding on dearest life these days is a good decision specially now that ethereum is increasing little by little so we could say it could continously increased. Patience is the key for a much big profit so I would like to suggest that if you hodl some altcoins be wise and learn where to invest the best.

Ethereum is the best altcoin to invest, not like other shit coins, Ethereum had more high chance of rising like the last bull run. For me bitcoin and ethereum is safest coin to invest for long term

for now, I hold a bit of bitcoin and also a few other altcoins, given the current unstable crypto market the steps I have to take is to wait for the crypto market to rise again, after the COVID-19 pandemic that hit the world is lost it's likely that the crypto market will increase again.

It seems like the people holding back Ethereum are now smiling. although the increase isn't that big, but it looks like it's good enough. if its development can reach the price of $ 250, then other potential will be seen. at present, more people are suggesting to hold ethereum because of this potential. I also held ethereum because of some people's recommendations.

When bitcoin or ethereum starts to rise/drops which they usually do after 6-8 months of halving I think that would be the best time to buy alts (if you trade using BTC) because during that time mostly all the alts would be in red.

@Buttercup123 was actually right but invest in Bitcoin either is very risky and this is reason why people are advised to understand how to invest/trade crypto profitable before dive into it.
With that been said, despite the risk in crypto market due to market volatility in nature the altcoins i mentioned are good to go.

Obviously ETH is the best altcoin in this market, but I believe it will not bring you too much profit because its price has gone up too high. It is better to choose a few other altcoins at low prices, among the top 10 are the best options to buy

Ethereum used to be the best altcoin in the market, but that is no longer the case. And the Ethereum developers can blame themselves for this. Back in 2017, there were even talks about ETH overtaking BTC. But then the ICO market crashed and ETH lost as much as 95% of its value. Then even the developers abandoned the work and the failed to fix the bugs and security issues on time.

Except little known DNA, nothing.

IMO, alts are good only for short term profits.

I was still holding the coin Binance some 100 bnb I believe it will go up about $ 70- $ 80 this year the price is still a little down my trust very when experiencing bullish bitcoin will rise fast and will go up to the moon.

Binance always gives the best to the community, especially BNB now rumors will have a staking program,
I think this is a good opportunity to buy BNB, and lucky you have bought it at cheap prices

That's not true and if you were seeing the market before and so many major coins have come from the small coins. That has proven the altcoin can be used as a long term profit too.
I remember when the ico participants of ethereum have paid $0.2 for each ethereum.

for altcoin i just hold ethereum and several alt in the TOP lists my friend
and maybe i will buy more eth to hold it in the long term

But do you really think that would still work that way? I mean by the Ethereum had their ICO was the time altcoin industry was booming there were no, scams, fraud or any bad activities from project devs and teams. Investors have cahnged their perceptions they are now wise enough and will not be vulnerable to any kind of scamming attacks anymore.

Binance would always great alt to hold because in the past it has shown us how potentially good it is for the investment. Right now, it is cheap to buy and it is a golden opportunity for us to do invest in it because it has a higher probability to grow more potentially in the future. That's why holding BNB would be a more beneficial move rather than holding any other alts.
