I am not investing in Bitcoin, I am staying with Altcoins

Why I am choosing altcoins is because bitcoin is now too much volatile and there is too much hype regarding Bitcoin, Altcoins will be recovered soon and will be hitting to new highs, but in case of Bitcoin, We are not sure that when this bubble explodes. Since we are not sure, investment in altcoin is only the safest option.

You do realize that altcoins pretty much just mostly follow bitcoin's price, right? Literally 2 minutes of research(pretty much just comparing charts) should be enough for you to realize that.

too easy or too much hype. maybe you mean exactly that it's too expensive :)
regardless of your point of view, bitcoin or altcoin is up to you. because you manage your own finances. all of them have the risk of either investing in bitcoin or in altcoin.
But, if you are just trapped and traumatized by the risk, then how long will you start. buy at your own pace, altcoins are also great if you can pick which one has the potential for fast volume. It depends on you trading using a long or short term strategy.

Altcoins are an order of magnitude more volatile, they are much more hyped in a sense that there's nothing backing their value - no adoption, no real development, no existing features. Altcoins hitting new highs is nothing remarkable, they just follow Bitcoin, except they perform worse than Bitcoin, as you can see in their declining Bitcoin price. If/when Bitcoin crashes, alts will crash even harder, so alts are anything but safe.

I wish you will get a best success from your decision. Because its your money your choice where you should have to. What should you need from where you can get your profit. You have to find it and you have stay with your decision with confident. Just remember don't try to follow everyone just try to learn how to research, how to use any research, what we should do after research what we should take necessary step after researching about any project. How can i interact with project, how can i get most benift from my decision all you have to do by know. Remember before starting anything when you want to know about lots of how, where, why, what then you can easily find solution and get a better result. I hope you done your own research with your alts. Hope for the best for your future. All the best.

well it's your investment and if you are so sure about that then it's your choice so far both Bitcoin and altcoins are now raging up too but so far I really think Bitcoin is profitable one. well wish you a good luck on altcoins too as long as you won't regret your decision, keep it up!

Staying with altcoins is a decision, your decision and can't be away bad but then, you've got to ensure you pick the right coin with great potentials and it would be of great benefit to realize the fact that, Bitcoin remains the Boss and the growth of other coins depends highly on Bitcoin. Hence, a devaluation on bItcoin would have also be reflected in the altcoins market. It's some worth like a direct relationship.
Despite your decision to own or stay focused on altcoins, it might be of great benefit to own a couple of bitcoin as insurance in other not to loose out on the surges that bitcoin experienced because, we've surely not seen the last of it.

its really too early to say that BTC is gong to pop already we haven't seen altcoins beating ts all time high.  remember distinctly that LTC s worth more than $300 n the last bullrun so we are not there yet. altcoins would have to beat ts all time high as well before you start worrying when it will pop. but like they are saying the cryptocurrency space today s very different than what it was back 2017 due to the adoption.

Bitcoin price pump or dump but I think it cannot be zero or scam. On the other hand, Most altcoin down so huge and some are scams or valueless.But if you pick the right time and coin hope you can change life. After 2017 maximum project scam or price dumping and investors don't want to invest money on the project. Every altcoin price or market depends on bitcoin price that means the crypto market depends on bitcoin price ir news.

Two long and exhausting minutes of research are necessary to get that level of insight? Do you mean that traders actually have to make an effort to understand the markets before they invest all their live savings in it? This is not possible, my head is going to explode. End of sarcasm. :P

Anyway you are right, however most people simply do not want to make any effort, the OP claims that bitcoin is too volatile when we could easily find a lot of altcoins showing even more volatility than bitcoin at the moment and we know as a fact that there is a very high degree of correlation between bitcoin and the altcoin market.

waiting for the altcoin season will be better...
Bitcoin has already passed the previous ATH *20k, really risky for those who just want to get into Bitcoin at this time because we don't know when the market correction will occur. you can take advantage of the current moment, there are still many Altcoins that have not touched ATH anymore such as BCH, ETH, DASH and etc.

This is actually what the real content of your quoted post from OP. You just rephrase it and elaborate. Although both of you have a point regarding waiting for Altcoin season. It will be more painful if the trend of BTC continue because BTC dominance will increase which means altcoins will dump more. BTC just recently broke the historical resistance of 20K USD which means there is no known resistance so far.

Staying in altcoins will be the thing you regret doing for a long time. Why do you think altcoins will update their highs? Because you think alt season will start? Or you thing something will trigger the growth? Bitcoins growth can be triggered with news and announcements in the World, altcoins cant.
And what if the growth wont start and everything goes down? Bitcoin has a greater support than altcoins. If everything starts to fall, altcoins will fall deeper.

I guess you may regret this decision, bitcoin has more potential than altcoin when it comes to gaining profit. Yes, the volatile nature of bitcoin will make you become profited when there are a pump and dump, and buy when the price is a dump and sell when the price is up. That's how you can ride the volatility of bitcoin prices.

Okay, tell me, which altcoins that you are planning to invest in, I guess there is also a good altcoin but not good as in bitcoin. Remember that all altcoin's prices relied on the price of the bitcoin.

There is no escape from volatile price changing even on local fiat currency. The rate of inflation will melt your money's value. Bitcoin and altcoins all of them are not fully trustable from this perspective. But I choose bitcoin and Ethereum instead of other coins. Because taking signals from them is easier than others.

Basically, I stopped reading after your first sentence. So you think bitcoin is too volatile so you decided to invest in altcoins? LOL! What a joke!
Please stop, I can only smile so long before I wet myself.  :D

Safest option?

Dont know on where you do get this kind of idea but it doesnt really fit out that criteria and always think that altcoin markets price do correlate sometimes with bitcoins price movement.

You are saying that bitcoins price is volatile then it wont really be much of an issue if you are just a long term hodler and even if you are an active ones then volatility will be
your best buddy on making profits.
It doesnt matter though on where you do stay up because its our money to spend off in investment.As long you do make profits then stick to it.

All are wrong. Bitcoin is less volatile than altcoins and if you are saying there is less hype for altcoins, you are wrong too. The DeFi hype in this year is for altcoins. DeFi tokens as YFI token hit its all time high at $43967 on Binance (https://www.binance.com/en/trade/YFI_USDT)

Top altcoins recovered in USDT price but not yet recover in BTC pairs. You can wait for their recoveries in BTC pairs next year when the crypto market will be crazy with bitcoin bull and altcoins will be hyped to join the party. You need to reduce risks by focusing your capital in top altcoins. For new altcoins, they can be scam coins.

I believe that the problem is the price, it is no longer profitable to buy Bitcoin for those who know the currency from 2017 onwards, it is a reality that must be assumed, with respect to Altcoins, it is necessary to see which ones will triumph, and thats the difficult thing.

No problem if you invest in altcoin because you can make a profit in bitcoin, especially if your altcoin lists can increase so high. It is almost the same if you can profit from bitcoin because you can sell your bitcoin when bitcoin grows or hold it for another high price. But it is better to invest in the potential altcoin, and I guess you know what that altcoin is. After the bitcoin price increases, I think that will be the time for most altcoins to increase, and if you have many amounts of that altcoin, your profit in bitcoin will be bigger.

Wait, did you just say Bitcoin is too volatile? at the current price? bruh...

If the "bubble" burst, alts will bleed harder than Bitcoin.

I have different perspective with you, in fact between bitcoin and altcoin (just in the top rank) have the same characteristin in the movement price. Most altcoin price which I'm analyzing will just move rely on bitcoin price movement.

As you can see, two days ago almost altcoin price were increasing because bitcoin had been able to passed the $20.000 barrier. I haven't seen an altcoin that increasing a lot and even reach its new all time high when bitcoin is not increase. Just wondering, as your perspective which altcoin that is promising to be choose as an investment instead of bitcoin? which altcoins are not as volatile as bitcoin?

Which crypto is not getting hyped? I am just hoping you will not come here to tell us a story how you lose your money buying altcoin. It could have been better if you list some of the altcoin you are interested in buying here so that you can get different view about your prospective portfolio. During the bull run in 2017, alot of altcoin also rise as investors also throw money to buy many of this altcoin. When the bitcoin price fell below 10k, all the altcoin was bleeding. Today bitcoin has set another ATH but most of the altcoin that witness price drop have never reach their ATH when bitcoin is already setting another ATH. If you bought many of this altcoin then you will understand my point. Unless you are interested in altcoin such as ETH, I cannot vouch for you that many altcoin will also bullish

You cannot buy bitcoin or even sats eh? Is this the reason why you have this in your signature?
"Consider Donations: BTC 17ox7CoDkfwM9bpTXvnhH1YJAy1Cproa7D - Has any whale the power to donate a penny by considering 1000BTC=$1? (Consider "penny")"

Only stable coins are less volatile than bitcoin. Buy them and hold them forever.
Why don't you share to us your altcoins and let's dissect all the marketing strategies done by the team to hype and lure investors ;)

In my opinion, altcoins are much more volatile than bitcoin.
Although because they are volatile in themselves because they are cryptocurrencies, the second reason is the dependence of the price on bitcoin, which adds volatility to altcoins.
So you have two problems with altcoins instead of one with bitcoin.

What are altcoins without Bitcoin?, the altcoins you are staying with are the same with Bitcoin in term of volatility,for your information altcoins are most volatile in nature but you choose to say that of Bitcoin without considering altcoins. Bitcoin stability in price sometimes give chance to altcoins to make positive move but except those pump and dump altcoins that are more risky than any other investment around the industry.

If you believe positively that Bitcoin will increase more in the future, you won't look its price at the present time now instead you will buy it at most of the time without a doubt. However, if you feel a doubt even a bit of it, don't waste your time buying it. But, since that Bitcoin was expensive literally altcoins is the only best options for us to earn in some other way into bitcoin of course.

I am going for his favor just because of price of bitcoin because now its very expensive and every person cannot afford this and we have some very good altcoins those are affordable and have some good value as well but if talking about volatile of price then I am fear from altcoins instead of bitcoin because altcoins are more volatile then bitcoin they can give more lost so just use your own search and try to have this all which is in your reach.

I'm pretty sure you know that Altcoins are just following Bitcoin right? so if Bitcoin's bubble explodes and so the Alts, unless they are stable which I think investing in the stable coin wouldn't get you anything. Besides, I don't think that investing in altcoins is the safest option, I mean yeah there are good alts to invest in like ETH but if you pertain to a random alts in the market then I don't think so. Moreover, to be truth altcoins are more volatile than Bitcoin which is why they are much riskier compared to it.

I believe you have reason for saying that you are not going to invest in Bitcoin now, maybe due to the present volatity of it. But I think this is the best time to invest massively in BTC and watch it closely. I can assure you that you are going to take profit in coming month. Imagine if you invest  in BTC a month ago, whose price was around $18,000, you would have made additional $5,000 plus right now. Think about it, if you invest 100BTC, you will be talking about 100*5,000=$500,000 dollars now. In less than 2 months.

Isn't it the other way round for altcoins than bitcoin?

If that's the case that you're worrying about the bubble burst for bitcoin, it's your analysis to the market but I don't see that it will happen the soonest. Investing in altcoin is riskier than what you can ever think of bitcoin. You're thinking that investing in bitcoin is risky but once it corrects, it will recover quickly.

In altcoins, once it dumps, you barely see it recover but if that's your decision. Good luck.

That’s a wise decision tbh.
But who knows when a wise man may become foolish?
Yeah it’s no doubt that the price of the coin is touching the sky right now but still people have hope that the price will rise and for that they reason they are still buying the Holy Coin.
Moreover and due to these activities the price of the coin is increasing in a rocket speed.
So if you don’t want to Gamble with high risk while trading then it’s better to stick with the altcoins and be on safer side.
Else there is always an option to try your fortune.
Hope you understand this OP.

That means you choose Altcoins only for security options, so do you think that Altcoins will not fall again in the future? because for now I see there are some people who sell Altcoins in order to be able to buy Bitcoin and get profit through Bitcoin, is something like that not good?

Well, that is your decision if you want to stay with altcoin than bitcoin. But you should wait for the unknown time to sell your altcoin because we do not know when altcoin price will increase. But I believe that the altcoin time will come soon, and if you have many potential altcoins, I am sure that you will make a profit in bitcoin or usdt. Take your time before you prepare your altcoin, and do not forget always to check the market and use your alarm to sound in your target price.

Altcoins (in general) are always bloodier than Bitcoin when there is a big crash. And Bitcoin always goes higher when market conditions are improving and green. One of the reasons to keep holding on to one of the altcoins is that we have to know what strategy the related project is implementing, so that we get a future view of the potential of one of these altcoins.

I prefer to take the leap between the two to maximize profits. And one more thing, the only altcoins that have a more stable price than Bitcoin are stablecoins

That's only if you picked up the right altcoins and you are patient enough, at the moment Bitcoin dominance is increasing which means there's way more interest in buying Bitcoin even though it has a huge increase lately without any considerable price correction.

So I think still buying Bitcoin in short-term is a better idea, since if Bitcoin goes down then altcoins will have a decrease not only in USD value but they lose satoshi value as well, in other words they will lose way more USD than Bitcoin on a downtrend, so if you're in bitcoin and it is going for a correction you can still lose less percentage of USD and at the same time you can catch those nice dips on BTC pairs.

I had high hopes for BNB but at this point the money flowed into Bitcoin

i know hypes are a bad thing but i can give an exception to btc . anything positive happening to btc is not bad . it is hyped now and its volatile , that two are verry useful for money making .

why dont you use that as your advantage to profit huh mate ? .

second question is why you are confidently sure that alts will recover and go up but btc will pop and go down ? okay why not say this . altcoins that are (name ) will recover and increase and btc will dump at this ( value ) . try to be specific :)

True, Bitcoin's jump is always higher when compared to Altcoins that are not stablecoins, because if a token is stable it is clear that the price will always last, it is clear according to its name and category, but for Altcoins that are not from this category it will always be destroyed when Bitcoin is experiencing a decline in price, actually this is just the effect of every trend and market condition.

That's what OP don't understand about this industry, Bitcoin price always determine the price of the altcoins except those that are affiliated with pump and dump groups projects. Frankly, the volatility of Bitcoin from the beginning of this year was normal becasue it price was good as stable but this recent bullish made many thing about Bitcoin to make as usual a dump (correction): investment into Bitcoin now could be a potential danger than the altcoins, but they're all the same as the fall of Bitcoin give the fall of altcoins.

So does altcoin then! Some altcoins are also volatile as fast as Bitcoin and you might miss some good stuff if you keep thinking like that.

Did you remember what happen in 2017? When Bitcoin price crashed, altcoin price also suffered the same and you can't deny that. Both of the solutions are terrible anyways and share the same risk.

When you do jump in into this market then be sure to be fully aware when it comes to volatility intensity and the price correlation between altcoin and bitcoin market.

You should be aware so that you wont really get shocked when the thing you do believe was totally out of the charts and instead of taking advantage, you do even make the situation more worst.

Not all the times that Altcoins could pump but when Bitcoin is soaring up then expect that there would be also some gaining momentum on some alts(not all)
but when bitcoins price tends to red or having that deep correction then most of them do really end up on the same condition.

Perhaps this is safe when you do long term holds, but right now risking towards altcoins was too difficult because it wasn't yet gaining. Altcoins seasons isn't yet happening, only bitcoin soar higher and not with altcoins. We're still waiting to the perfect moments for alts until it would shakes the marketplace.

While I'm a big fan of altcoins, I don't think it's quite time yet you jump into them. Bitcoin is still finding it's ground and there are more room for growth at this point. The movement of bitcoin has a lot to say about how altcoins will reaction as a dump are r corrections will result to altcoins getting dumped just as we experienced few hours ago in the market when bitcoin traded below $23k.

The expectations are for bitcoin to continue increasing into 2021 and very early in the year altcoins join the bull run. Investing in bitcoin would be the safest options for now. Altcoins are more of a risky investment. Don't get decieve by the numbers over hyped projects are giving on binance.

Whenever there a bull runs, project with less utilities get over hyped and if you're gullible to fall into their bullshit, you get dumped on and while others are celebrating their profits you're busy trying to recover from your loses.

It's you but me has different opinion about that. Im stay with both as i were taking the advantages from the volatile from bitcoin and altcoins. It's quite impossible for me to make a decent money in a short time from bitcoin now. You should at least reconsider bitcoin for the long term. The majority of my hodling were altcoins.
Both are very volatile right now.

You must diversify and keep some btc, keep some altcoins and especially keep USDT in your portfolio. Both btc and usdt can be used to buy back more at a lower price once you see that the price has dumped but still believe in that coin. Keeping everything in Altcoins have a big risk here because the market crushes out everything when a crash happens.

I am not against the idea of putting your money into altcoins, that doesn't really sound like a bad idea at all, the reason is funny of course, to say that bitcoin is volatile so you are going to altcoins sounds more like "alligators are too dangerous, so I deal with crocodiles" because they are basically the same thing but different name. Which means bitcoin is very volatile I agree with that but altcoins are very volatile as well, they are all crypto currencies and they all act about the same.

However altcoins dropped a lot in bitcoin price while gaining a lot of dollar price, I think that is why it is important to realize we could have another increase in altcoin prices, they  could probably reach back to what they were in bitcoin price and that could end up with a lot of profit for many people. So I am fine with altcoin investment, even if you are doing it for wrong reasons.

Plunging in the world of crypto, especially trading and investing, it is an individual decision of each person, of course you have the right to make decisions you invest in some Altcoins.

Moreover, currently the price of Bitcoin is soaring so it requires a lot of capital to invest in Bitcoin. In fact, investing in Bitcoin at this time is not right, when the price was cheap back then around 2019, if you wanted to invest in Bitcoin, at that time you did it for now, only doing sell and buy trades might be better.

However, if you are considering investing into several Altcoins it is also a good decision, as currently many Altcoins have not seen a definite increase, Even though Bitcoin passes through ATH, there are still many opportunities for you to choose some Altcoins for investment at this time, there is nothing wrong with your decision completely the rights you have.

I don't agree with your choice of choosing altcoins over Bitcoin, because as we know investing in Bitcoin is much safer. If we buy
Bitcoin at a high price, we don't need to panic because Bitcoin is proven to recover the fastest. So the price of Bitcoin is usually
a dump, we just need to be patient waiting until the price goes up again.

While altcoins do not necessarily recover, even some low volume altcoins will become trash. As evidence, when in 2017 almost
all coins pumped into the ATH price, last year 2018 all cryptocurrencies were dumped. Only Bitcoin is now able to recover past
the ATH price, Ethereum alone as the king of altcoins until now has not been able to return to the ATH price.

I believe that Altcoins are the best type of investment because it is cheap and I agree with the stability to expect the prices to go up to 10x in the case of bitcoin, but it would take time to get the returns.

Everyone has their own opinions regarding Bitcoin and altcoins, etc. However, in my opinion, Bitcoin’s dominance and influence is still higher than all of the altcoins. Whenever Bitcoin rises, altcoins are following (but not gaining that much as Bitcoin’s). Maybe because Bitcoin’s price movement is in high volatility, or you just missed buying early.

^ It's a higher odds which is also high risk, that is how the altcoins that I per see. You invested at a cheap price and who knows those altcoins you invested becomes shitcoin someday. I am not comfortable with them holding for a long time, probably in a short period of time but still, my asset focused on bitcoin which is good for investment even though we know that it is very volatile and very sensitive when it comes to managing our asset. We had a different decision, if that is your perspective view to handle your capital, that is yours, but I had still been stick on the bitcoin investment.

I, like you, try to invest in altcoins and promising tokens. For me, BTC has a too high price and in order to earn money on it I need a lot of money, which I do not have at the moment. Based on this, I chose cheaper promising crypto assets. I have ETH, some LTC, and a dozen different tokens in my partner portfolio. I hope that in 2021 we will have a flight to the moon and we can make good money.

Altcoins are also volatile and most of the top coins these days depend on the price of Bitcoin. Your profit will depend on the risks that you're willing to take. Maybe you're just afraid to take the risk in investing with Bitcoin because of its current price. It's fine if you trust altcoins more than Bitcoin but you have to make sure that you have chosen potential coins so you'll never have regrets in the future.

No matter where you will put your investment is or which investment you will choose but still all depends on your trading strategy like every traders must know on how to handle risk management first so that they can survive the market.
Most traders perish because most of them are:
1. No discipline
2. All offense, no defense
3. No defense, pure hope
4. Human nature not able to handle loss and execute on negative outcomes.

Not all Altcoins are safe but the important is we must know how to play defensive all the times if things do not go in our way.

OP, your choice is a smart one as it's evidenced that every Bitcoin rally always pulled the alts. However, I have observed too that altcoins begin to rise towards the end of every Bitcoin bull run. Investors at the time would pull out profit from Bitcoin investment to invest in altcoins. That has been the pattern in the past. All you have to do is wait for the right time by checking the dominance of Bitcoin in the market. Once dominance gets below 60%, get your arsenal ready to go all in.

Your money, your choice. We cannot directly disagree on that because it is your own will and perception and that is the way you do think that staying with Altcoins is much better than getting into Bitcoin. It is still good to invest on Altcoins as long as you are choosing the right ones. Having high hopes in Altcoins are also good but still you must be sure to get along with the right Altcoins so that you will not be just wasting your time on waiting and hoping that someday the Altcoin you are holding will be recovering and will give you gains. But still you must consider having some of your funds into Bitcoin so that you can see the comparison and not just barely comparing just because of what you see that Altcoins are pretty much more affordable than Bitcoin which makes you invest into it rather than Bitcoin. But still it is your choice and opinion. Nothing wrong and not that bad for you are trading it on your own and maybe you are perfectly right on your stand.

Trading altcoins is just your choice because if bitcoin can dump altcoins will also dump, more than bitcoin dump self only strong altcoins projects will be able to survive it, but maybe you just prefer altcoins, altcoins are not also bad!!!

Since you are an investor, it is natural for you to make decisions based on your preferences. To keep your fund safe. You have chosen the best way that you think. But it seems to me that this decision has put your fund at a little more risk, because even if the bitcoin market is volatile, your chances of losing your entire fund are very low, which is almost impossible.

But if you know the right information then you must be aware of how many altcoin scams have gone out of the market and investors have lost their entire fund, in which there were many top coins which people had more faith in. So the decision to choose altcoin as an option to keep the fund safe did not seem right to me.

Staying with altcoins? Good for you. But why do you have to make an announcement? Lets be honest over here, no one cares. Oh, and you probably forgot to mention those shit altcoins that you are about to shill for in this thread. And:
1. Bitcoin is too much volatile and altcoins aren't? wut?  :'(
2. Altcoin reaching all time high? Which altcoin? You do know that altcoin follows bitcoin? Or did you fall head first and you now mixed up altcoins with bitcoin?

^ it is your choice not to invest in Bitcoin and only in Altcoin, Altcoins are still a good investment as long as you can make the most of the moment. there are many Altcoins that haven't reached their ATH yet, good luck with your investment.

You've need a good setup plans from time to time. There's impact from each time the market moves, what is important is you always have
backup plans and patience to wait for you to harvest your benefits. It happened from the past that each investors who gained a lot from bitcoin rally divert their money to alts.

If you place your investment in the right place and time, the next thing that you are doing is collecting
those profits from your investment, plan ahead and stick with where you see progress from your investment.

Bitcoin is king of all coins, it has such a huge domination over all other coins that while we have altcoins under half of their ath, we already broke over ath in bitcoin. It has such a domination that if you calculate the market cap of ALL altcoins, it is still not as big as bitcoin. So long story short there is a reason to buy bitcoin and if you ignore that reason and go with altcoins.. well you would be still fine as long as you are not all in fiat.

I know people, millions of them, billions of them all stay in fiat, and invest into things that will make them more fiat not realizing that you could have as much fiat as you want as long as you are on the outside they will never let you be rich enough and with one bad move you could go back to poverty, even from a billion dollar richness, all depends on who you know. Whereas bitcoin will always be bitcoin and altcoin will always be altcoin.

On the contrary, altcoin market are vastly volatile and manipulated than Bitcoin market. However, you invest in altcoin instead of Bitcoin is a worse investment determinations in crypto sphere.

It not hype but it increase in Bitcoin market traffic and the altcoin market trend will be determine by the trend Bitcoin market posed.

Invest in altcoin never the safest option but the worse option if you don't know how to stop loss and Bitcoin surge in price is never a bubble.

I ain't sure you can safely say that and be correct. Investment in Bitcoin doesn't give the type of ROI investment in altcoins gives. Well, you can say there is much risk investing in altcoins than in Bitcoin but not that it doesn't worth investing on it. Only what you've to do is take time and pick viable altcoins with potential and invest on. Admittedly, this is difficult to do anyway. It's not a guarantee that the potential tokens will eventually turn out right. Well, Bitcoin also crashed beyond repairs at different points in its history. Those who picked Thorecoin or YFI (and its pairs) are already laughing on their way to the bank.

At the end of the day they are not really all that different if you ask me. Depends on the altcoin you are investing, if you are investing into something very tiny and small, you could probably make a lot of money versus the market prices, however if you are investing into the known ones, the amount of difference is not really that huge I believe. I mean having your money on bitcoin or on ethereum will not have a huge change for now, maybe a bit of difference but not worlds apart type of difference.

This is why I believe we should not really care about what is going to happen with bitcoin vs alts because they are basically the same thing. So, I would say the only positive alts have is that you can diversify your portfolio, bitcoin is bitcoin and only one thing, whereas if you put your money into alts, you could do so with 10 of them and diversify.

I think I was unfair when I make the statement but the reason is that from the history of crypto investment every investors usually invest big fraction of their fund in Bitcoin and thats what every legitimate crypto investment adviser will declare.

Investment in Bitcoin give more ROI than altcoin but it seasonally (particularly after halving).

I dont say altcoin dont worth invest in, the risk involved in and the OP been boastful over altcoin market that is easily manipulated is the reason for my statement.

I also invested some fraction in YFI but sold it asap due to the pitfall in DeFi project.

On hindsight, can you now say that YFI is a flop?

Truth remains that most of us don't even want to assign any credibility to the alts. If any alts had had the type of crash Bitcoin had from 2018 till early this 2020, I guess none would've still kept faith with it. Part of the thing that keeps Bitcoin going is the community trust in it. I have seen wonderful projects go down and get abandoned by their own devs and the community. I think it's about time we gave the alts that benefit of trust too.

Bitcoin is always that kind of volatile  :P It is your own choice what altcoin will you go, We can't generalize all altcoins but some altcoins who experience bull run at the same time as bitcoin is now experiencing price corrections.

Please tell us what altcoin do you think is the safest option in terms of investment. I am expecting that it would be more amazing than bitcoin.

That is my main problem, if someone wants to do something then they are free to do it, however getting out of bitcoin because of the volatility when it is known that altcoins experiment even more volatility does not really make a lot of sense. After all we know that the market of altcoins has less money invested in it which makes it easier to move and when we also take into account that whales are bigger in the market of altcoins this makes it easier for them to manipulate the price.

And when we add that a great deal of those that invest in altcoins do not hold their coins for the long term as it happens in the market of bitcoin this increases the volatility of altcoins to a point that I do not see how this could be used as a justification to leave bitcoin but adopt altcoins.

Just let them be on what would be the things that theyre trying to do and if they do saw that Altcoins is much better then its up to them but as mentioned on theres no point if you do try to switch
nor exchange bitcoin to alts just because of volatility then you are really making some wrong presumption or observation.Well, its his money after all which means he had the full control of it.
If this kind of decision is according into your own analysis and likings then so be it but be aware and youll surely realize that things into your mind isnt really happening on what you had presumed.
Always deal with Bitcoin and Altcoin if you do but if you do benefit out with alts then you can stay up.

You sound as if altcoins are free of volatility too, I accept that it's more risky to invest on bitcoin right now, I've learnt that investing on crypto when price is going higher is always a bad move, altcoins are the best choice right now but Bitcoin is still the better investment choice if not that it's at a new ATH right now.

The higher bitcoin goes up the more risky it becomes, I wont dare enter bitcoin investment right now too and I've already make good ROI when I entered some months ago, the only safer investment plan left is altcoin so yes you are right if you try avoiding bitcoin investment right now, if one have to buy back it should be when bitcoin is in red pool of blood once again

Just because one or two coins went down doesn't mean that altcoins are doing bad neither, I understand that XRP is going through something but that is only XRP and when you look at other coins they are doing fine. Look at ethereum for example, did it dropped? It has been going up for a while now, and didn't cared about this project.

Do not think of all altcoins as equal, as I have repeatedly said before coins that are tied to one company or one person will eventually go down, there is no doubt about that, BSV, BCH, XRP, USDT and even maybe BNB because binance controls it, and one bad move by binance could make it go down. So at the end of the day I would say stay away from all the projects that has an "owner", look at bitcoin and ethereum and similar projects, they have no owners. Altcoins in that group are still amazing to invest if you can.

Nay but DeFi is a competition investment and it investors flock to the project thats making waves so if another unique DeFi project is created it may win over YFI remember Compound (COMP) which once does well in the market before YFI but currently not doing well now. YFI it maintains it surge and reputation due to the limited maximum supply. Besides, the others Yearn farm project we have now can be created by the YFI team to keep the price of YFI.
Mate, i am not sad i sold the YFI then

Thats because 95% of all altcoin we have only emulate an existing project ideas which is what we are seeing DeFi today.

Trust is among the key to the success of every business and some altcoin team abusing the trust of the community is reason why the community dont trust/support most altcoin project

There are no problem if you invest in bitcoin; or if you decide to invest in altcoins; they are both good and healthy investment choices, What matters is that you are trading and investing right. What type of altcoins do you invest in ? Did you conduct proper researches about it before investing ? If yes then investment is a safe option.

Lol Volatility will Give you a chance to Earn instantly ,Look when you posted this the Price of Bitcoin is running 21,000-22,000$ but look at it now? 24,800 meaning you may have instant 15% of profit while altcoin?
does your Alts gave you that percentage this soon?

You should have change your Outlook now.

It's your decision, but for me only Bitcoin is the most stable coin in the market, look at what's happening to Ripple they are charged by SEC they are a centralized coin and altcoin that don't deserve to be in the top 5 and Bitcoin dominance in the market is something that will play a major factor in the market.

I bet XRP won't be in the top 5 for long.
If the price continues to plummet, it will soon fall below Litecoine and most likely below BCH. Even though I personally don't think BCH should be in the top five either. :D

Yes, I'm sure they still have some pretty serious problems right now. XRP will start delisting from the major exchanges and maybe it will also affect other altcoins. there may be another effect on the current bull run

Maybe XRP will worth only a few hundred million dollars MCAP in the future. As already expected by so many people when US exchange site will start to halt XRP service and then this coin will be facing a very difficult situation.
Litecoin or even BCH are better compared with XRP. XRP has no utility. XRP is a useless coin.

We are near to 26k now which is a new record to bitcoin again, it only proves some predictions that bitcoin will soon reach 30k and I think it is really possible given the chart now it is very bullish, so those people who bought at 21k of they will still hold bitcoin I am sure they are very happy now for the price of bitcoin now, but we should be careful the higher it will go, the lower it will be, soon.

Altcoins are obviously good investment choices too; and if you can conduct your proper researches; i can tell that you will make good profits from altcoins. So you have to figure out what type of altcoins, when to invest; how to dyor and also when to take profits; But remember that investment in altcoin or bitcoin are risks. there are no safe options anywhere

Interesting, but you know altcoins mostly depends on Bitcoin price. Altcoins is also good for making investment. Literally the cryptocurrency market and trading related with Bitcoin and mostly depends on Btc. Btc is now passing the best time in his history according to the price analysis. New ATH hits everytime. Altcoins will also stable soon.

My most investment in Alts. But till the votality of BTC ends, We cant expect a pump of Alts.

When we're with plans to profit out of altcoins, we need much more patience than making money out of bitcoin. Same time if we're lucky enough, we'll get very big profit than what is being got through bitcoin. This means there is positive as well as negative part on altcoin investment. Rather than just staying with altcoins, the better choice is to invest on the top altcoins of the Market.

I like the enthusiasm, well, maybe if you can wait longer then altcoins season will come, however, don't expect that bitcoin will be destroyed or will dump because altcoins are just too reliant on the progress of bitcoin, if bitcoin fail, the entire market will.

Altcoins will have their time but this year belongs to bitcoin, and non other coins have pump to the moon like bitcoin did this year.


I beg to disagree.

We have our own reasons why bitcoin isn't our preferred investment right now and i bet one of these reason was its too high value that a new investor will surely dealt with. And in fact staying with altcoins isn't bad as long as the alts that you have choose to invest with has still a value in the crypto market. Where every bitcoin user still believe that bitcoin were still the best, there have some of us that couldn't take the risk to invest in bitcoin and that i guess was totally fine. Hope that someday you can be able to make your investment in bitcoin.

If you are not invest in Bitcoin how can you invest? How you compare? When you start trade you need to convert it bitcoin for profite.

personal preferences do really vary. some people are keeping their hands on alts because they believe they can get more profits. which is actually true, if he chooses the right alt. and sometimes, you don't need big initial capital to invest in alts. because if you look at BTC, and say you want to buy 1BTC, of course, it's overwhelming for you especially with the current price in the market. so some really opt for alts, as they can buy alts with low capital investment and see also their profits. but some do prefer to stay with BTC, even if they can only afford a fraction of it. so whatever a crypto user decides with his investment, it is up to him how he will strategise to optimise his profits. no one can really exactly tell you what you need to do in this investment.
at the end of the day, you need to take care of your own business, because no one will...

Better move to invest on bitcoin than keep investing with altcoin because many risk happening with altcoin, last happen on Ripple coin after delist on any market exchange but bitcoin impossible can delist. I know bitcoin have higher price and altcoin have lower price then get much profit when investing on altcoi, but how come when your altcoin investment delist on exchange market, look right now happen on ripple from 0.7$ become 0.17$ and keep lower price after not active trade on any exchange market.

investing in bitcoin or altcoin for me is the same thing, I have no difference between that,
because bitcoin and altcoin are also part of crypto currency, and of course everything will work,
it's just that you choose the right altcoin? or not

This is true and correct, just all I can see with the altcoins is good for the people who don't have enough capital to invest into
Bitcoin. But anyway, both can be trade to all exchange platform here in this type of business. However, in choosing altcoins also must
need a review about the coin you are planning to invest in.

How i wish that you did not choose XRP over Bitcoin ? because if that's what you did im sure you are wiping your Bloody tears at this moment from the other day.

And upon your complain about Bitcoin Volatility ?look at the market now and tell us who shows the Volatile record.

Bitcoin have not even drops 10% from the whole December while almost all altcoin did has Ups and down trend.
This may serve as lesson for you mate, that never choose any altcoin over Bitcoin ,yeah you can have your alts but always make sure to have Bitcoin in your holdings.

safe way is usually investing in the top altcoins, like Ethereum, Litecoin, Tron and also Binance,
but now this thinking is wrong, because the top altcoins are also very risky, for example Ripple,
XRP is in the top altcoins and eventually they are rumored to be a scam, and many exchanges will do delisting,
of course this will make the image of the crypto world worse again.

First of all it’s not At all guaranteed that every time this coin will give profit.
Yes this might be a safer and better version but still no one has seen the future right.
And to stay with BTC or altcoins it’s completely depends upon the user itself. Just the user need to have enough guts to bear the losses.
I would still like to invest on BTC rather than Altcoins.

If that makes you feel safe then you are free to do it, we have different styles in order to gain a profit. Others are taking a high risk just to get a high returns.

In my case, I am putting 70% of my asset into bitcoin and the remaining are set for altcoins but I closely monitor the bitcoin price so I will not miss if there is a quick dump that will happen and for me to assure that I can sell my bitcoin in a right time. I know the risk but still I am willing to take it and for your decision, I am not against it especially if you are planning to hold for a long term one as I am sure that altcoin will recover soon and set a new ATH record again.

Bitcoin is less volatile if you compare to altcoin, altcoin will give you high profit if you choose the right alt but it is hard to find right altcoin like ethereum and other good performance alt, better put some of your portofolio to bitcoin. Even it is only 30% of your total coin.

Most altcoin down so colossal and some are tricks or useless. Be that as it may, in the event that you pick the correct time and coin trust you can change life. Albeit both of you have a point with respect to hanging tight for Altcoin season. It will be more excruciating if the pattern of BTC proceed in light of the fact that BTC predominance will build which implies altcoins will dump more.

Everyone has different tastes, choosing altcoin as an investment medium is entirely your right. But you have to realize bitcoin have a lot more potential than altcoins, because altcoin growth is very dependent on bitcoin, in other words, Until now, altcoins are still under the bitcoin umbrella. I hope you choose the right altcoin to invest in, Eth, Bnb and Polkadot would probably be very suitable for your investment.

Well be prepared because bitcoin is definitely going over 35,000$ this time around, millions of eyes are on bitcoin right now and I don't see any sign of stopping, the ATH of Bitcoin will be bigger than that of 2017 bullrun, the fact is I only believe in Ethereum more than most altcoins right now, altcoin season may be different too

This is not the right strategy to investing only in altcoins but you should invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum also. This because Bitcoin is the true global currency and is the pioneer in the digital currency concept. So, this is your misfortune that you are not an investor of Bitcoin. I have also much investment in altcoins but a little bit of my corpus is also invested in Bitcoin.

Exactly, not investing in bitcoin isn't a good choice. He thinks bitcoin is too volatile and the bubble will explode, but he doesn't think altcoins will drop dramatically when bitcoin explodes. Altcoin is not safer than bitcoin, it is still important to invest in the right time.

Currently, altcoins follow the Bitcoin's bullish trend (at least some of them). But, regardless of that, I still think that Bitcoin investment is safer than in altcoins. Just look at what's happening with Ripple!

It's your right to choose to invest in altcoins over Bitcoin, but the reason you choose altcoins is because it is safe in my opinion wrong thinking.
Because altcoins always follow Bitcoin's price movements, then from the first time Bitcoin can be used for trading until now it has always
dominated the market. So it should be based on that investment in Bitcoin is much safer. It is true Bitcoin is very volatile, but if we do the analysis
correctly and always use the stop-loss feature, investing in Bitcoin should be safer.

of course all choices from yourself which investment to choose, I personally if I want to invest in a coin will choose a coin that is already established and the price is not yet very high not only bitcoin one of the established coins but there is ethereum, Ethereum movement is pretty fast right now and will continue to pump if bull run still occurs

Bitcoin is the market leader and altcoins are driven with the rise and fall of bitcoin. As bitcoin rises, altcoins rise and vice versa. So, for me investing in bitcoin and altcoins both make more sense than just depending upon a single section. Its everyone's choice as to what they prefer and their risk appetite and investing style.

It is nearly the equivalent in the event that you can benefit from bitcoin in light of the fact that you can sell your bitcoin when bitcoin develops or hold it at another significant expense. You contributed at a modest cost and who knows those altcoins you contributed becomes stiction sometime in the future. I am not happy with them holding for quite a while, presumably in a brief timeframe yet at the same time, my resource zeroed in on bitcoin which is useful for venture despite the fact that we realize that it is unstable and delicate with regards to dealing with our resource.

Choosing the altcoins to invest in will make a difference. If you chose TRON then you are most likely going to suffer the most. But if you wanna avoid all the doubts just take BTC and nothing else. It's volatile indeed but this volatility is also the one that makes its price lucrative. It's also easy to cash out if you needed the money. For altcoins, you will have to trade it to BTC.

I guess you know that most of the alts are following Bitcoin price both in bull and bear runs? The only logic to invest in alts instead of Bitcoin is when you found a cool new project and you think this project will gain quicker than Bitcoin.

in few conditions i agree with you,
but in my opinion bitcoin is the safest investments in this crypto world if we comparing with all kind of altcoins my friend

I think this depends on your own opinion, but for me personally, this time for me bitcoin is still the top choice. Let's look at the fact that the need to use bitcoin as an asset becomes clearer and clearer, and before the news over time, it helps me to have more faith in bitcoin.

At this point, everyone is turning their attention to bitcoin, but alt season is also very much awaited. I think it will not start yet although bitcoin multi-gain has been amazing for the past time, so choosing and buying coins other than bitcoin would also be a good option for you to increase your money.

That is a LOT to ask about altcoins, to say "who knows?" is being naive. ETH is probably one of the very few alts that do well and continue to progress and develop,,, but they have 20x more resources and the best developers out there, with tons of use cases and users. There really is no other alt that competes, except in small use cases like Doge, LTC and XMR.

same as me.

ive lost more than 50% btc in this bull run. most of altcoin decrease half of its btc calue in this 30 day period

I wonder if OP really keep his words on staying with alts and not investing in BTC .

When investing in crypto we don't really need to buy a whole coin that is why it have a smaller units for someone like us who couldn't afford it,
For me it is better to have those small portion of BTC(Sats,Bits,mBits) rather than having some huge amount or whole amounts of shitcoins.

Are you a newcomer in crypto, mate?
We don't need to buy 1 Bitcoin to invest, you can buy as many as you can. Even you only have $10, you still can buy the Bitcoin. However, don't buy blindly of without analysis first! I suggest you buy once the Bitcoin is in the correction time. So, you will get a cheaper price and it is a safer way to buy than force yourself to buy in the rising time.

You don't have to buy 1 Bitcoin to invest in it, just a few is enough, maybe $ 1000 or $ 500 is enough,
indeed the profit you get will be more pronounced if you want to buy altcoins, because currently altcoins have not experienced a good increase

I agree with you, but be careful what alts you are staying with. It should be huge like Bitcoin. The best options can be seen from the top 20 of coinmarketcap. After Bitcoin make its new all time high, may be its 100k or $50 or whatever. Alts pairs in ALTS/BTC will start to rise.

90% of my portfolio is now in Alts and my investments in ADA,BNB,LINK,AVAX and DOT have been far more profitable overall in recent months than BTC  ;D

I don't feel comfortable buying ETH or BTC at their current prices as I think we'll see a retrace at some point in the short term.

Bitcoin remains the Boss and the development of different coins relies exceptionally upon Bitcoin. Thus, a downgrading on bitcoin would have likewise be reflected in the altcoins market. The pace of swelling will soften your cash's worth. Bitcoin and altcoins every one of them are not completely trustable from this point of view. Be that as it may, I pick bitcoin and Ethereum rather than different coins.

These are all pure speculations and you have no basis for such a forecast. How do you think that this is the best bitcoin can do?
All investors have already made a profit at over 20k levels. Why didn't bitcoin dump then? Or at 30k levels?

If you want to invest in altcoins, go ahead. No one is stopping you, but don't spread FUD that bitcoin will dump when you don't have any evidence or analysis behind it.

Actually many altcoin is coming up to outdo the limitations of Bitcoin and having great competitive advantage to succeed Bitcoin. It is better to invest in altcoin also.

Bitcoin reached an all time high, and some are already taking profits because of the chance to earned. Well, in my opinion, it is also good to invest in some top altcoins as there are also the chance to high its price. We have preferences on how we can expand our funds in crypto. So in my portfolio bitcoin and other altcoins during this time.

maybe if we can pick a good altcoins project, investing in altcoins can be a good idea
but if don't have enough knowledge, i think its better to invest in bitcoin my friend
regards

Bitcoin's volatility has been declining since its “crazy” ups and downs during the 2017-2018 period. Some pundits believe that this is a sign that the digital currency is finally "maturing".

I keep investing in Bitcoin for the long term, and altcoin for the short term

there could be more people that now hates you because of this atittude but no im not with them but i actaully like this mindset .

we need more people that are like you that only likes altcoin because all eyes now are foccused on btc but what about altcoins ? altcoins are dying but what i only dont like with what you said is you bully btc too much , its enough if you can just say that btc is more volatile because thats actually a fact but calling it a bubble is not appropriate anymore .

I realize that people are too confused about where to invest to bring better profits, in fact btc is always a guaranteed investment for those who already know about this market. But we also see the fact that the whip rate of altcoin projects is a lot, and that is why it attracts many people to invest in it. Personally, i don't want to compare bitcoin and altcoins because i am investing in both btc and altcoin.

I think there is a turning point event for all Altcoin supporters right now in which Bitcoin start to fall down with the price already reach to $10,000 difference from the latest ATH. Probably with this current Bitcoin downward movement many will sell their Bitcoin and will divert it to Altcoins which is still much cheaper to invest.

If we take into account the analysis of Bitcoin charts, then almost the entire 2021 will be more interesting AND productive than you think. Of course, a correction will occur so that traders fix their profits, after which there will be a slight decrease, but according to the results of forecasts, Bitcoin is still far from the next maximum of 2021.

Possible but one thing needs to know that if bitcoin falls, altcoins will also fall and vice versa. Once bitcoin rises then only altcoins will rise and the difference last time when bitcoin crossed 20k and crossed and was rising but altcoins took long time and did not moved at the same time when bitcoin was rising. So, u will miss out that ride when you do not hold bitcoin and just stay invested in altcoins. A balanced approach is better in such case.

Now those altcoiners are making some noise now because bitcoin is going down as of this moment but to think that we are still up in 30k plus on price then that wont be considered to be bad.

If we do try to look back, we are just looking for bitcoin to break its 20k ath and 30k or even 40k is already too much for as to ask but bitcoin did really able to reach that.

When it comes to choices neither you do like to invest with altcoins than with bitcoin then its your choice but majority or the entire community do know on which one
is really worth when it comes to future possible price potential.

in my opinion it's just an option, because BTC and altcoins are equally able to be invested, the difference is that not all altcoins have good potential, indeed altcoins are currently an alternative choice, because BTC is experiencing a tremendous increase, making it difficult to reach  by people who have middle to lower economies, my advice if you want to make a profit with altcoins you must wisely choose coins that have bright prospects in the crypto market,

Altcoins hitting new highs is not all that much, they simply follow Bitcoin, aside from they perform more awful than Bitcoin, as you can find in their declining Bitcoin cost. On the off chance that/when Bitcoin crashes, alts will crash considerably harder, so alts are definitely not protected. It is nearly the equivalent in the event that you can benefit from bitcoin on the grounds that you can sell your bitcoin when bitcoin develops or hold it at another significant expense.

No issue in the event that you contribute in altcoin since you'll make a benefit in bitcoin, particularly in the event that your altcoin records can increment so tall. It is nearly the same in case you'll benefit from bitcoin since you'll offer your bitcoin when bitcoin develops or hold it for another tall cost.It is way better to contribute within the potential altcoin, and I guess you know what that altcoin is.When the bitcoin cost increments, I think that will be the time for most altcoins to extend, and in the event that you have got numerous sums of that altcoin, your benefit in bitcoin will be greater.

You should realize lot of altcoins market and important which coins you have been holding right now. I see some altcoins place still in dumping so you can invest those good altcoins which have cheap price. At least if you have no financial problems then you can invest in some top altcoins, it's so like my best suggest.

I honestly do not think that alts are going up neither, they went down with bitcoin so there is really no benefit to be in bitcoin or altcoin, they are the same result. This doesn't mean you should be in bitcoin, this doesn't mean you should be in altcoins neither, it just means that we are in a crypto connection world where every single crypto acts together.

This is why we should not advice people to go with alts only, we should not advice people to go with bitcoin only, people should have a portfolio that is diversified so that we could make a profit. Think about it this way, if we have 100% as our base, if you have 40% as bitcoin, 20% as ETH, and the other 40% divided into 8 coins for 5% each, eventually you are going to have a very healthy base, and that way you could make a decent investment into many things and will not miss out on anything.

This doesn't make any sense.  Bitcoin is more volatile than altcoins, huh?  And bitcoin is the bubble and altcoins will all rise?  I'm just going to offer this quote " if you cant spot the fish at the table then you are the fish".  I wish you well but you will probably take alt beatings until you either learn or you leave the crypto market.

I didn't quite understand your train of thought. Obviously, the entire market is following bitcoin one way or another, just because the fall in bitcoin price provokes people to sell altcoins, because they think everyone else will do the same. What concerns risks. Then there is nothing more risky than the crypto market, everyone knows that.

I don't agree bitcoin is a bubble but i think Bitcoin temporarily stopped accelerating. The selection of altcoins in the top is correct at this point, they are still too low compared to prices a few years ago.

It's okay to stay in altcoins, but don't get caught up in the many circulating altcoin scams. the best choice remains the altcoins that are in the top 10 coinmarketcap, it has been proven and it is not a promise like a scam coin. so altcoin but give profit as long as it is right on the right choice

It seems to me more logical to choose a situational "leader" - in certain situations it can be bitcoin, and a set of altcoins, or a mix, when it is logical to invest in both bitcoin and alts. You can't mindlessly choose just one concept!

This is true, it isnt bad to put up some money on altcoins but be sure that you do know on what you've been doing.Alts doesnt really give out
some guarantees when it comes to future or potential but with those top rank ones then you can at least have some alternative when
it comes to investment decisions but when you do see some opportunity then why wont engage? People will just normally be
looking up for chances for them to benefit out.

In fact, in terms of pricing, bitcoin prices tend to increase significantly compared to altcoins. however, I have the same perception as the OP. currently I can't get bitcoin because of its high price. we may have it in a small amount, but we are looking for a large profit, with minimum funds. however, I still choose altcoins now because the potential for altcoins is quite large, and the price is still quite affordable.

but not all people can choose the right altcoins, because they need a good knowledge my friend
i think a lot of people here just buy when the hype come buddy

Truly, regarding evaluating, bitcoin price will in general increment fundamentally contrasted with altcoins. be that as it may, I have a similar discernment as to the OP. right now, I can't get bitcoin due to its excessive cost. we may have it in a limited quantity, however, we are searching for a huge benefit, with the least assets. be that as it may, I actually pick altcoins now on the grounds that the potential for altcoins is very enormous, and the cost is still very moderate.

Good decision the altcoins were already increasing, I hope that you also included eth one of your investments because it reached the all time high now, the history is really repeated except the bounties and airdrops.. they were not profitable unlike the year 2017 ;D. Anyway good to see that the market was increasing but I don't think if this is the right time to invest in altcoins.

I think no issue on the off chance that you contribute in altcoin since you'll make a benefit in bitcoin, particularly on the off chance that your altcoin records can increment so tall. It is almost the same in the event that you'll be able benefit from bitcoin since you'll be able offer your bitcoin when bitcoin develops or hold it for another moon. It will superior to contribute within the potential altcoin,It is normal trend if the price of bitcoin rises then altcoin market also get green and my opinion that capital should divide in both Bitcoin and altcoin.

Taking advantage of opportunities when bitcoin is sideways, this is a good idea too. Because I’ve seen these two weeks of altcoins go green because
bitcoin has given the altcoin that opportunity. And this repetition has happened  many  times in bitcoin  history. If you can  take  chances  and  have
smart strategies, it can give you an advantage. You can even take advantage of both. From bitcoin and from altcoins.

You should always have some Bitcoin, bro!
Because Altcoins come and go, it is very volatile every time.
But Bitcoin stay. You can be sure of Bitcoin it will always have a very lasting impact.

The intention really wants to be able to take advantage of a situation where bitcoin continues to provide a movement to go up and down all the time, which is an opportunity to take advantage of the moment. but what can I say that for bitcoin investment requires a large enough fund and certainly not easy. what might be done is looking for opportunities that the altcoin will increase and provide an opportunity to be able to own and invest because usually altcoins will also get the opportunity to increase.

True. altcoin can be a good idea ONLY IF you have the capability of analyzing and predicting whether the alt has future or not and that's the hardest thing because most of people invests to alts out of their guts without reading the projects  whitepaper or even the technical aspect or implementation of problem solving and that's where people gonna lose out money because they just don't know what they're investing into.

I'd say stick with bitcoin if we don't know about the project we gonna invest. It's safer that way.

so what about now ? after posting this thread Bitcoin surge Up and Hit the Highest value ever had.

If you only Invested in Bitcoin that moment ? then you'll be in profit now for at least 60-90% lol.

Any story now about your altcoin Holding ? any development ?

I guess he's still waiting for that Bitcoin bubble to explode!  ;D
What a fake. From his posting history, I see that he starts many topics of similar content but rarely (almost never) returns to them to respond to other members.

Bitcoin is king, it's a pity if you don't try to own BTC ... look at the value of bitcoin always breaking through very quickly, when it triggers the trend of institutions.  Sure, owning altcoins is not the same as btc.  no confidence at all.  Even so, I will not depend on bitcoin, I accumulate funds in bitcoin and some altcoin oriented.

I think you have the wrong perception about bitcoin friends ,,, !!!  Do you know how many hundred the percent of the price of the bitcoin has gone up, I am sure you will regret it when you know the current value of the bitcoin, and are not willing to invest in BTC when the price is always up and  down, I think altcoins are not all prospects we have to be smart to observe a coin so that we don, 't experience losses, because the alcoin is currently easy to dump until its lost,

In recent days the price of ethereum have been bouncing higher than bitcoin. Investing on bitcoin assure profit, and there are more altcoins that provide with much higher profitability. By this times bull trend we haven't got bigger growth/bull trend with altcoins. Probably we can expect a bull run with altcoins sooner. With that into consideration it is good to stay with altcoins.

its up to you want to invest in bitcoin or altcoins
but, last year when bitcoin price under 10K then you buy bitcoin, i believe now you will get a good profit by holding bitcoin my friend
because no body know about cryptocurrency price in the future, right ?

I know what the point that you want to deliver to us, since Bitcoin price already high you choose to invest on Altcoin, right? But as i know, altcoin price mostly follow Bitcoin price, the only condition that altcoin show their truly price is when Bitcoin price sideway and relatively stable. So, its better you keep some bitcoin until that condition meets. Or maybe try to accumulate some altcoin which have really low price, but its a little bit risky.

It's not bad not totally choose bitcoin, we also need some altcoins that have huge potential in upcoming years. We can buy some alts at cheaper price compare to BTC that have expensive price that almost $40k today. In long term, we should prefer BTC in any cost. BTC will remain dominance in different aspect of investing in cryptocurrency. I think it will pump more in upcoming years to come. Good alts like ETH, ADA, DOT and other altcoin have great potential in the market if he's staying with it it's fine. I think he's thinking that if BTC will pump alts will also follows.

You should invest in bitcoin, or you’ll be sorry!

I believe that everyone sees the situation in the crypto market in their own way and, based on this, plans further actions. However, no one can know for sure which is the best. When I thought about what is the best way to keep my savings, I divided them 50 by 50. I keep the first half in BTC, the second half in altcoins and some tokens. I chose this strategy because they cannot predict exactly how certain cryptoassets will behave. In any case, if I am not pleasing with BTC, then I will guess with altcoins and vice versa.

Everyone has different thoughts and the training, especially when determining what coin coins to invest in, I personally have my own way to invest my finances for the future, I take the advantage of the current momentum where Btc and altcoins sama2 is developing, I share my money to trade with BTC and altcoins such as the eth ADA polkadot DOGE XRP and Tron, where the altcoins I choose are altcoins that have been listed on major exchanges,

I'm thinking the same. Everyone were thoughts bitcoin is on consolidation mode so it would be good idea sold BTC and bought promising altcoins. But, Bitcoin drama not over yet as it's reached $40k again. Take the advantage of dip and believe in the future of BTC and obviously buy more ETH as we're looking at $2k in a week or little more.

How u believe to invest on altcoin when u believe Bitcoin price will have a pop, dont u understand that most altcoin follow Bitcoin price?
Even im also a Bitcoin Minimalist which believe altcoin over Bitcoin, i still hope Bitcoin have a good price but with a stable movement and a lower dominance point, so Altcoin price can go rise and make us happy ;D

It's up to each person to choose what is closer to him, but I still think that BTC is the founder of the cryptocurrency industry and the SEC has not yet banned or will not ban BTC, so it is more reasonable to keep it

You've made 15 posts today alone in different threads shilling Deedy Digital which will likely put potential investors off rather than lure them in.

The days off bag holders dumping their stash on newbies and people who don't do their research are pretty much gone, investors are a lot more careful these days.

Im prefer altcoin too over Bitcoin, but the reason is not because its a bubble or volatile, because if its the reason then you shouldnt invest on any crypto lmao.
My reason is i believe altcoin have better future since its have plus value like cheaper and faster transaction, a good dApps platform and anything else.

You have all the freedom to choose wherever you want to invest in and no one can stop you from doing that. As long as you speculated and analyzed well the coin you are going to invest to, you can and you should invest on it right away. There's really no need to compare bitcoin to altcoins, we all know how different the levels are for bitcoin compared to altcoins just by taking a look at its achievement. You are saying that bitcoin has become too volatile nowadays hence you should take into your mind that every crypto existing are all volatile and altcoins value follows bitcoin price increase or decrease patterns.

The decisions is all yours, You can choose altcoin or bitcoin etc., and no one will stop you. In crypto we have different sight and different strategy if you saw that there is an advantage on investing in altcoins then be it grab it for good because at the end you will be the one to earn or suffer if you do right or wrong decision.

Did I just read this correctly?  Alts are always much more volatile than bitcoin lol.  Just wait until your first massive bear market we go into.  95% of these alts will be dumped into nothingness and will be abandoned, happens every bear market.  Most of them only exist as a trading toy to get more bitcoin.  

Why do you think that altcoins even think that altcoins are safer than bitcoin, on the contrary, the fluctuations are more inclined towards altcoins which are always the subject of hype for everyone, even I think that wasters are right, especially where the DeFi trend continues to be rugpull in the end, so it doesn't make sense why to choose altcoins over bitcoin.

The altcoin trend period is over and now it has been dumped a lot with a drastic decline I don't know until when it will recover again because waiting for this moment will be very long and will not be easy with enough time.

Someone who says that he would go full altcoins, let them do what they want.

We've said enough that it's better to have bitcoin as we also hold altcoins. Having no bitcoin on your portfolio will make it like it's not safe for most of the possible dump that can ever happen.

He should've realized soon that alts are very volatile.

Invest in altcoins rather Bitcoin especially with small capital is a very good idea which can help you out maximize profit with a little push in price. Altcoins are very good to invest in especially with stable and high volatility coin with a good project. Although it's not easy to find the right coin mostly when the coin is still at the birth stage where little or non is known about be it.

Investing in Bitcoin with little can be challenging atimes when the market price falls failing to go back to it original price, making it difficult for profit to be made. Using large capital can also be risky if the investor does not know much about the volatility and market trend of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a very good investment but should not be considered if capital is small and risk to reward ratio is high.

Just let them be and its their money to burn not ours even though investing on top coins like bitcoin and some top alts is more worth but there are still people who do really love to face risk
and rather play with fire with those non so popular coins but its really a gamble if i were to say but we cant deny that there would be chances to make big profits if the said project would
really able to fly but those only good for short term but there are people who do really love to play with fire to earn money and its their choice.
Its just how people would able to accept risks.

I think altcoin is more volatile than bitcoin as most altcoin can be easily pumped and dumped but bitcoin on the other hand has a more stable price compared to altcoin, but then you are right you can easily make profits investing in an altcoin.

Bitcoin is good, how is bitcoin too much volatile, you are wrong for for this, try to check the price all time high of the coins this year and their price now, you will see that bitcoin is less volatile, altcoin are more volatile. You can hold altcoins too but do not have the thinking that altcoins are less volatile, you will realize later that altcoins are more volatile in bear market when the price of altcoins decrease more than the price of bitcoin.

You are completely Wrong , because look how much Increase bitcoin does since you post this thread?

and also what altcoin does you invested?

if you can answer those correctly and proudly then you may be Lucky one but if not, then feel the bitterness of not trusting bitcoin.

Investing in alts is not a bad idea especially when you are lucky to invest in a good project that will give x50 and above, this type of profit you can only get it from new alts with very low market cap, but with high mc like btc, it will be hard to make a huge profit, can't be more than x2-x3 which is not bad because you invest in a trusted and secured project unlike alts that are very risky.

Exactly. If people want to part with their money,,, we should let them.

I know it is cruel and sad to think like this but on the other hand,,, if you spent time convincing them, they would never be convinced unless you are a kid on TikTok telling them shitcoins are bad,,, which of course Tiktok kids are not doing:)

Better they speculate on alts and dump them, proving Bitcoin stronger with every dump.

As an investor, we have our own choice on how to manage our funds, and if one decided to invest on altcoins than in bitcoin, I say it's not wrong, they just realize and they feel that they'll be more profitable investing in altcoins than in bitcoin. In fact, they are right if they think that way because there are altcoins that has a huge increase during the bull run this year while bitcoin only increase less than 10x from its cheapest price in 2019.

Agree, bitcoin can dance too many different dances but altcoins are no exception, all are standing on the same dance floor, when the song is broadcast, altcoins are also forced to copy bitcoin's dance moves, they hold too low stakes while bitcoin holds the majority. Investing in altcoins is similar to looking at bitcoin's face, a happy expression will be the dawn but a gloomy expression will be thunderous fury, staying with altcoins is also just greedy for profits, talking about safety, needs a lot of parameters about past market data

They might have find their luck with those choices. But we've given them an opinion on what path should they take and what build up for their portfolio must be.

But if they're really choosing to go all in with alts, that's them and we cannot alter what they've decided to do. Let's just wish them the best and they can always choose to invest in bitcoin and add it to their portfolios.

But I think bitcoin have its own advantage compare to altcoins. Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency and it become one of the superiority value among all coins including altcoin. Also in my opinion, the volatility of bitcoin is as much as the altcoins, because it is so usual in the market that the price of altcoins is following the price of bitcoin. If the price of bitcoin is increasing, alts will follow it and the market will start to bullish.

if we compare clearly I agree with what you said that bitcoin has the advantage of all existing altcoins, because it can also be seen that the movement of altcoins all depends on what bitcoin is doing, whether it goes down or up. when bitcoin is experiencing a deep correction then all altcoins also experience it, which indicates that is the influence of bitcoin.

but it's not that there aren't any good altcoins, there are still a lot of good altcoins that can be seen from the ranking on coinmarketcap/coingecko because the market cap is also pretty good.
so it's not wrong if you can't invest in bitcoin, you can change to a good altcoin, by analyzing it first.

Btc advantage over alts is the fact that btc is highly trusted and mostly accepted in almost all part of the world,  btc has big names invested in it because they trust it unlike alts that are highly risky yet highly profitable too, between btc and alts, the latter will give more profit when you put your funds in a sound project, once you are lucky to invest in a good alts project,  it gives more profit than putting same amount on btc, I guess this is part of the reason why op is investing in alts instead of btc.

It is true that altcoins are more volatile than bitcoin.

You get to see bitcoin's price move from time to time but it recovers after it's moved side ways. But for many altcoins, after going to a few pumps, some don't recover immediately.

And worse is that they don't recover anymore.

By starting with the hype aspect, hype is not limited to a particular coin, it revolves around all coins in the crypto market, although some gets it more than others, or the attention or hype might revolve around a particular coin longer than others. Then for the volatility aspect, all coins in the crypto market are volatile, hence the reason why the saying "the crypto market is highly volatile" that is to say, it is not limited to a particular coin nor is it higher in a particular coin than others. But however, when one talks about security of investment that's when most coins will stand out from others, with the first been Bitcoin, reason being that it is the only decentralized and most secure coin.
On the other hand, investing in most altcoins is great such as Ethereum, Binance Coin and so on, these coins are also good and one can hold for long term, but same can't be said of many others.
However, we are free to make our decisions about coins which we find better than others and so on, but as for me, Bitcoin is actually the best in the same way holding some altcoins is also good.

I think you are wrong because most of the altcoin is also very high on volatility, it always depend on the altcoin that you invested, bitcoin is always dominating the market it always goes up and down but altcoin will always follow so in short both bitcoins and altcoins are high on volatility it always matters on selecting and sometimes our profit will depend on our luck.

That's obvious because at this point Altcoins have also started to increase their price again because BTC has started to pump again and I'm sure that BTC will cross $40K again this month.

Investors and speculators are not necessary the same things. Of course an investor takes the same risk to capital but they take those risks after weighing in on the benefits and then usually they have a long term vision that comes into years of risk.

Speculators we talk about in altcoins are hardly like this. They are in it for quick profits and nothing else. They look at tokenomics and market potential rather than strong fundamentals as investors do.

When BTC dumps ALTS dumps 2X mate So basically I will suggest you do things carefully or get rekt ALTS can really do 5 to 10X easily but it takes research and finding things out plus is more risky to hold alts than btc Standards and fundamentals are very good things to lookup when investing in alts

I do not 100% agree with your opinion. I think bitcoin is volatile but it also the same with Altcoins. The time when bitcoin price is having a dip the alts will follow. In my opinion bitcoin is more well known in the society so it has better advantage than the alts.

More on quick gains than looking for real usages, but there are also investors who believes that the
project that they've holding will give them a huge amount of profits after holding it for certain time.

Long term investors who seek for fundamentals and community support will mostly choose bitcoin than any other alts,
as the popularity already earned more supporters.

either way, it depends from how investors/traders study the market  and follow the development.

I sometimes think going long with some new or good old altcoins is far better than just buying Bitcoin. I bought bitcoin right before this bull run started and I only made 2x something. While many altcoins were going around 50x. I sort of regretted my decision.

we have different mission in which project we will invest to , but we have same goal why investing in cryptocurrency market . profits was be our goal why involved in this market and all of agree this is the main reason , but to achieve this maybe our strategy maybe different each other. Some investors prefer bitcoin as main assets but for other they prefer altcoin as portofolio. No one wrong their decision as long as could manage the risk.

i am agree we should not speculate to project that have no usage for their token it will waste our time and money. But research in new project was needed to find hidden gem because this gem will give us multiply profits only in short periode.

i thinks we have no different mission , we just have different strategy to achieve our goal in this market. Some of them will do research to find potential project but some of them only follow signal or suggesstion from other resource. Bitcoin or altcoin have same risk or profits as long as we could put our position in the right place.If we buy bitcoin at the peak maybe negative float will happen to our position and i am not sure our mental and emotion could handle this. Some people said id easier  but in fact it is not.

survey and analysis become one of the important points for now. because the most important thing is how we can try to manage finances better so that the current investment choices are the best and not detrimental. so I think this is one way for us to be consistent in investing in bitcoin or altcoins, the most important thing is a good survey and analysis pattern

Yep, everyone will have a different perception and approach to the market, so our goals will not be the same. Just like myself before, when I first joined, I always thought of just buying a coin and just waiting for it to increase in price :) . And when we gain knowledge and a broader perspective, it's clear that that thinking is gone, whether it's btc or altcoins, they have the ability to bring us good profits.

Not everyone is the same for investing in the crypto market everyone's knowledge and intellect are different so it depends on the individual to invest. Bitcoin and altcoin are both good currencies for investing it is possible to get profit if you can choose the right currency by doing market analysis bitcoin always tops all currencies ethereum is the best of the altcoins from different perspectives. However you can choose other currencies by checking the strategies of the market.

If comparing certainly all also ensure the Bitcoin is still the best and Altcoin follows it, always Altcoin is affected by the movement of Bitcoin and never altcoin can move alone.
But not Altcoin is not good, there are still many who have very high trading activities. So it is very interesting for investors and daily traders, because it is very profitable.
But I agreed that all factors could not be separated from luck even though we analyzed well, because Crypto was hard to guess.

Yes I do believe that bitcoin was still and always the best choice among cryptocurrency, however, the volatility of bitcoin is on the topmost concern of many investors today but I honestly can't deny that the demand of altcoins today is keep on rising especially those altcoins related to the nft games. Yes, NFT is now one of the most trending in cryptocurrency which already proved as a good feature in a certain project especially in games. However, not all altcoin is now doing great but at least there are few that really making history today like AXS, DPET, SLP, SKLL which this tokens were associated with the nft games.

Obviously it's your money and you have the right where to invest it nobody can force you to invest in BTC, probably you will have done deep research about investing in altcoins hence you're pretty confident and giving much priority to altcoins over BTC, well best of luck with your investment in altcoins hopefully it will bring benefits for you.

Well, investing in bitcoin today and at its current relatively high price already poses a little more risk than it used to be. Your reasoning has its own logic. However, while investing in it is still safe from the point of view of the safety of our investments and their profitability. There must be several more cycles of significant rise in the price of bitcoin and its fall before the investment risk reaches its redline.
It should always be remembered that the cryptocurrency market is volatile and influenced by various negative news.
