Bitcoin Forum

The cryptocurrency landscape is gradually taking a new turn and am loving it already. It's like the era of BTC dominance and dictation of other altcoins performance is gradually winding down.

TAO, KAS, BGB, TIA among other numerous altcoins are among those that have recorded ATH recently even as BTC struggle to hold up the $36,500 resistance.

Among other altcoins that have been impressive are ORDI, SATS, VMPX, WOJAK and PEPE1. 

Fortunately there is an ongoing event for new users on Bitget where there is  $10,000 prize pool in the latest Hotcoins season 5 edition.

As we look forward to the anticipated bullrun come 2024, what altcoins are you holding and why do you think they will bring more returns compared to others?

Haha 😅
 I don't think Bitcoin should be compared with alt coins. Bitcoin is the OG of the crypto space so if there be any important comparison I think it should be between alt coins only.
Altcoins are mainly suitable for trading not hodling.trading with altcoins also require experience and skills to avoid losses

Altcoins are good and profitable for the few who understands them and, much more important, who know when to sell them.
On the long term most altcoins simply go down and a few better ones may remain profitable against dollar, but, by far, no match for Bitcoin.


So yeah, I agree with the previous answer: are you joking, right?
And even more: if you want to ask about altcoins, please do so in the altcoins related part of the forum, not here.

I think that you are new in the cryptospace and that is why you are thinking of altcoins and not bitcoin. For your information, altcoins are shitcoins are they are not worth to invest in because they will end up disappointing their investors. One thing that you should know is that looking for quick profit is what will make you run at big loss since altcoins were created to scam their victims. So I don't see any altcoin that i will be investing in but only bitcoin because after next year halving bitcoin price will hit a new ATH which makes it a great innovation.

Very true. Knowing when to sell an Altcoin is the main deal. One of the challenges with the Altcoin ecosystem is that there is this constant creation of new cryptocurrencies and it makes it more difficult for people to know which is more reliable or let’s say “safer”. There are alts that have and will make it over the years but as time passes many will be shaken off back into the dust. Bitcoin on the other hand is just one and hence its uniqueness. It’s less likely to fail you unlike these alts.

This is how the market has always been. Bitcoin influences majority of altcoins, but they are very easily manipulated, so we get some outliers which do not follow the market direction that Bitcoin takes. Bitcoin dominance is not waning, neither does it matter much.

None. They are too much of a wild gamble for me.

As you can see, the price depends on the market such as it's demands and supply so if the demand and supply will become the same as the time BTC and altcoins reach new ATH then it will reach it again. You may be right that many crypto have different situations where some are still high compared to previous price meanwhile BTC for example is decreasing because the price may be manipulated where you can see that it didn't follow the route that BTC take. Well, Bitcoin is still number 1 even though you might see where some altcoins price didn't follow the changes of price in BTC.

Bitcoin is King & most of the altcoins are absolute crap. Most altcoins have no utility, no future & no real world use case. Bitcoin is the only one that will last for the long term, Ethereum is potentially an OK buy but the rest of them are a total lottery. Why put your wealth in a centralised coin with so many points of failure. Bitcoin is the future of finance, we are going to the moon very soon.

BTC or altcoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5426775.0)
Bitcoin vs. Altcoins (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4432223.0)

Those are some of the same threads with the same title, but with different descriptions. :D

There are no altcoins to hold right now just hold BTC for a long time or at least until the bullishness really comes, If you are asking about altcoins that give returns then I don't know about that.

Sometimes I could have no option than to laugh when I see people comparing Bitcoin with altcoins which is not supposed to be. Comparing new altcoins in the market that had not lasted upto to 10 years in the crypto market does not worth it. Bitcoin had been in existence for a very long time and even with the current height in network fee does not mean that they can be compared to Bitcoin. Bitcoin has much bigger influence in the market than many altcoins that had been mentioned here so we don't have to compare them at all. Bitcoin still have bigger role to pay in the market when the bull market comes.

That's your own views about altcoins, and I respect that. But if you are going to ask me, none of those coins would beat the potentials of bitcoin. Although its undeniable that some altcoins are still worth of our money and time, but it takes a lot of research and understanding these coins so you won't fall investing into shitcoins. Few have the potentials to succeed, but majority would certainly end as dead coins.

However, if you know to timing the market when you hold altcoins, you will still have the chances to make profits. Altcoins are good for short term investments, so you need to sell them before their prices dump and end up zero value. Unlike bitcoin, as long as you hold it patiently, you will gain secure profits in time even if you buy low and sell high.

Most of the altcoins are useless and can be manipulated by the creators. On the other hand Bitcoin isn't manipulatable by its creator or someone else so in that simple sense Bitcoin is unique. I'm not a big fan of altcoins but sometimes I use to trade with those altcoins when I see some profitable moves as a trader but most of those altcoins are totally useless and someone who delves into altcoins without proper research or luck may lose a lot of money.

There are some good projects in the altcoins world but still those are risky as compare to Bitcoin, and I believe if someone wants to go with the route of altcoins then that user has to choose only few reputed altcoins that have been known to perform well for many years. New altcoins aren't good at all and investing in those coins is just like gambling, so it's always better to go with old and known altcoins instead of going with new altcoins.

LAst I look there were 9000+ coins on coinmarketcap.

we are down to 8831

https://coinmarketcap.com/?page=89

over 8600 are garbage

Altcoins have the opportunity to attract new people in the crypto space because of their too good to be true offers that made this people to jump investing without doing initial research on the altcoins they are going to risk their money. Just like you OP, you are currently blinded with these altcoins because of their promising profits in the future. But if you have been investing in the crypto market for long, you will know that altcoins are just the scammers tool to scam the people, bitcoin is the only genuine investment in the market.

I'm not saying in general that altcoins are not worthy to invest as there are few altcoins who are highly established in the market and are certainly hard to break them. But still, they won't serve any guarantee that altcoins are better than bitcoin. Bitcoin is the lifeblood in the crypto market, that reason alone should be your eye opener not to fall on the trap of altcoins.

If you want a bigger return in crypto, you have to invest in alts. There are lots who multiply it's price in just a couple of months. You have to do a screening since not all alts are good to invest. Avoid to good to be true projects or the projects that has the very low marketcap, it's so volatile and don't have enough strong support where if whales going sell their assets, it dumps so much. For safety investing without looking for instant big return, preferable to go with Bitcoin.

I prefer sticking more to Bitcoin as a main currency for me and due to several reasons such as its popularity which translates to strength and a secure plan. Beside that, Bitcoin tends to keep its value against any market uncertainties and offering a more stable investment compared to altcoins on bad market days. While we also aware about the potential of altcoins for short term gains, I see them as more of a hit and run opportunity but too risky for holding so much.

The only time I decide selling part of my Bitcoin is when I need funds. In such cases I trade Bitcoin for stable coins like USDT known for their stability and safety compared to other centralized stable coins. Occasionally, I go for Litecoin especially for casino transactions due to lower fees compared to Bitcoin. So we really can't say that altcoins are worthless.
I also want to say that countries like El Salvador have announced Bitcoin as their main currency, indicating that Bitcoin is more secure and holds significant value more than any altcoin and also the thing that reinforce our belief in it.

First, this isn't all about Bitcoin so you should move the thread where it is appropriate which is the Altcoin Discussion.

What I and most are thinking is that the bull run will come by 2025 but 2024 is a great starter of it. Until we see it, that's what finally is for the date of its arrival.

Why should I say what I am holding? I'll just put it this way that I've got a few alts, the top alts but I am not thinking that I'll make more from them than of Bitcoin.

I am still believing that my returns will be greater with Bitcoin.

This TAO and KAS have quite potential for me because I have holdings in them. The first time I saw that TAO recently, it was around 75 dollars each. Now, around 215 dollars each, the price of what it raised is very high.

Then what I see that TAO can raise is from 1000$ each to 8000$ each. If TAO happens to be 1000$ before Bitcoin halving, that means it may reach 6000-8000$ each before the end of the bull run, while KAS can reach 5$ each until the end of the bull run.

These are temporary fluctuations and wont hodl on for longer period of time and yeah I agree these have reached ATH when Bitcoin is stagnant between $35k and $38k, But that doesn't give these coins an upper hand as these are new altcoins an same thing happened with other established altcoins when they were new.

I would say the major difference between Altcoin and Bitcoin is one give quick returns with high risk while other give guaranteed return, one has sustained numerous challenges and roadblock while other is yet to be test at such level.

we cannot compare new altcoins with Bitcoin as it will lead us nowhere, But to further confusion and wrong decision making.

Your title is saying bitcoin be altcoins and while what you're saying is more a about altcoins than bitcoin itself, and how should you be making a compare and contrast trick on bitcoin in relation to altcoins, those coins you see running like the speed of light can comes down at anytime and turn to nothing, many people have lost their asset at the cause of other related coins like them, but you can be assured nothing like this with bitcoin. 

The profits some traders are making from altcoin could be very attractive. But we have to also recognize that the altcoin business terrain is highly volatile. As a newcomer in the crypto space, I have not acquired the requisite knowledge to trade on these altcoins which is why I am only focusing on Bitcoin. A friend of mine just told me how he made some good money a few days ago on altcoins and I told him that I am not interested now because I want to move gradually from the known to the unknown.

Don't be carried away by the profits people make in altcoins because many people have also lost fortunes trading on them. The bull run also comes with an increase in scam projects, that is the reason why I am only concerned with the project I am sure of which is Bitcoin. But anybody who understands the altcoin sector and is willing to bear the risk is welcome to invest as he/she pleases.

Bitcoin is for everyone whereas altcoins is for people who have got good knowledge about the market. Only then it is possible to buy/sell at the right moment and enjoy the benefits. Most of the time altcoins need to be considered for short term profiting as we can't be sure of the price progress same as bitcoin. Bitcoin being the king, it is followed by the rest. This means in the upcoming halving the price movement of altcoins will take place based on the movement of bitcoin.

I think the ATH for the coins you mentioned is only temporary, I have seen altcoins that started off very well but suddenly the price drops and the value is lost. Altcoins are very risky, they can make you a lot of money but they can also make you lose money in an instant. I don't have a good experience with altcoins because I often fail with altcoins, besides that altcoins are also prone to price manipulation by trading signal groups.

I don't hate altcoins but I need to be careful, I see altcoins also have potential but don't think about holding them for a long time, take the moment to make a profit and then leave. So far only Bitcoin has a stable value and perhaps the top 10 altcoins are still reliable

Why isn't it about Bitcoin's

the title is BTC vs altcoin's

So it is at least 50% BTC and since BTC is more than 50% of the market cap I think 54-56% it is mostly about btc.

Comparing Bitcoin with some new altcoins like that. Hmm, if it's for short gains, new altcoins are indeed a very promising field of profit. And indeed we found several new altcoins that experienced high pumps even during the bearish era, when Bitcoin's price was still falling. Meanwhile, the price of new altcoins, on the other hand, has skyrocketed so high that it can provide high profits in a short time.

but something is forgotten here. The increase in Bitcoin is not as high and significant as the new altcoins. However, the question is, can these new altcoins which have experienced a very significant increase maintain their prices and always exist in the market? not everyone can. In fact, most of them will pile up and then drop and become shit coins. Meanwhile, Bitcoin will continue to increase until it finally reaches a certain ATH point. and the Bitcoin cycle will return again. while altcoins that are unable to survive will become ashes. This means that if we lose the moment to take profits on these altcoins, on the new ones, then that means we might lose the moment and actually incur big losses. So, be careful with sharing types of hype coins like this if you can't take advantage of the right moment to take optimal profits.

 i thought i had seen this thread but it was only posted today every now and then someone compares btc against altcoins and can only think of this one title


btc and altcoins are different but definitely have a relationship with each other it’s hard to say which altcoins are promising since most of the time they don’t end up hitting expectations however altcoins are usually dependent on btc so just look at the market carefully and see which ones you should buy or sell

While we continue to impose that bitcoin is the king and the most trusted cryptocurrency, still a lot of people end up trusting some altcoins wishing they could gamble on those coins and expect massive profits when these altcoins turn highly successful and productive when bull run comes. But that will only work to those who think investing is like gambling, that even if they disregard bitcoin, they will still make good rewards with those pump and dump altcoins.

Well, good luck to those who risk on altcoins more than bitcoin. In the end, bitcoin will still lead the market and makes the highest source of profits, and not sure by that time if altcoins will also follow the path of bitcoin. This really keeps confusing me why the hell people still trust altcoins when they can safely secure those profits just by sticking into bitcoin.

i guess, most of these traders who are into alts are mostly for short-term profits. to be honest, hard to find alts that you can hold for long term and at the same time gain from it.
the alts mentioned by the OP are actually not very familiar for most users, though they are being in the top 100 alts. i believe, he is holding those alts as well or has interest in those alts, hence, mentioning those in his post.

Where did you yet your data from? The last time I checked, Bitcoin dominance was even increasing, crossing 50%.  Maybe there is something that I'm missing in this regards. If you ask me, I will say that Bitcoin that Bitcoin is not losing its domineering power anytime soon irrespective of the hype of altcoins and some memecoins. The hype will fade away faster than they are gaining

These are relatively new cryptos whose future are not guaranteed.  I think it is out of place to compare them with Bitcoin. Gives these coins time let's see if they will be what you are thinking.

As for me, Bitcoin is enough for me for long term hold.

Altcoins have their altcoin season but they can not survive in this market with one or two altcoin seasons. Since 2020, how many altcoin seasons we had but most of altcoins lost like 90% to 99% of their all time high prices. If you hold altcoins last few years, you are still in painful loss even altcoins are moving with a new altcoin season.

It increased a lot in bear market because as said altcoins lost 90% to 99% of their marketcap but Bitcoin only lose like half of its marketcap since its all time high in 2021.

Dominance is not too accurate because more altcoins will be created with time and those new altcoins will contribute to altcoin marketcap whist we always have only one Bitcoin.

The rate of new altcoins created by developers probably outpace the rate of altcoins die within a same time.

This I can agree, especially the last part about knowing when to sell them, got a couple of useless alts in my wallet now, should've sold it when the going was good but I was greedy at that time and I just lied to myself that I am going to be fine just holding on to those altcoins because I believe that those peaks weren't their last peak and I have a pretty big bitcoin hoard which added to my careless behavior because I thought that I don't mind losing a lot in my side investments since I still have bitcoin and then the bear season happened. Never marry the bag again with altcoins, once the profit is there I will just grab it. With my own words, the only bag I'll marry will be bitcoin.

I got $TIA from their airdrop but sold very early. Anyway,


I hold $osmo,$ether, $hive, $arb. Osmo is central ibc coins exchange. Ether, I just have lots of faith in it, they have got solid foundation, these countless layer 2s popping up are merely giving more publicity to it, Vitalik is young fellow — Ethereum gonna get lot improved from his long presence. Hive, I like community there and it's feeless blockchain which I really appreciate. Arb, holding airdrop, it has highest TPS amongst layer 2s, I think arb gonna reach new heights, it's short term ath of $7 currently should easily be surpassed when it's time will come.

You should probably move this thread to the altcoin section of the forum as it seems to be a better fit there, however I fail to see where you get this optimism about altcoins in general, bitcoin still has a dominance of almost 50%, and that is with the extremely dubious data regarding the market cap of many altcoins, so the dominance of bitcoin is even higher than that, and when we take into account the transactions that are actually made with the intention of exchanging value and not just the ones created with speculation purposes, then bitcoin should be even more dominant than that.

I also follow these altcoins on X and I agree with you that they are really making a difference in the market during this bear season. But the question is, are they promising long-term investments or is what is happening just temporary? And one day they will disappear without even informing you? By the way, what does the price increase of these altcoins have to do with the bitget exchange, are you someone paid by bitget to spam our forums? Are you a shiller?

You are mistaking on this, Bitcoin has never been a dictator, it works alongside other cryptocurrencies and there are times that Bitcoin would be the initiator of a massive move just as there are times it would be altcoins that would initiate it. Bitcoin is Bitcoin, it's just a leader in the industry.

For dominance, you can't take that from Bitcoin, it remains the number one cryptocurrency and will hold this position until only God knows when. Have you seen the current market cap of Bitcoin compared to altcoins? It's over $700B. By this, you should know straight enough that Bitcoin is still the number one voice in the crypto space, it doubles all of the cryptocurrencies' market cap combined.

So who is the boss here? It's not about doubling and tripling your investment but liquidity, security, privacy, reliability and trust, the crypto that allays fear in people that retail and institutional dealers appreciate.

Yes it is definitely not wise to compare Altcoins with Bitcoin. Whatever bitcoin is is a digit that you have no chance of having ricks if you hold on to it over time. But if you keep investing in altcoin, you can be in a big risk. In this case, if you don't sell the altcoin over time, then once the market goes down, then it is not possible to recover the altcoin market easily. Moreover, once the market crashes, one has to wait for a long time for the market to recover. So I won't compare Bitcoin with Altcoin for now.

Definitely true. We consider Bitcoins as the master coin. So it will be completely worthless to compare it with these small altcoins. Altcoins are developed by seeing the working and popularity of Bitcoins. So I don’t think these comparisons are justified. If you want to do safe investment then Bitcoins are the best. But if you want to make quick profits then trading the altcoins with high risk will help you.

Mate, I don't think you right going by your statement that the era of Bitcoin is winding down, do you mean people shifting from Bitcoin to altcoin, if that's what you mean, I think you are getting it all wrong, you can never compare altcoin and shitcoin to bitcoin, if I may ask how did you get your findings, with what we have at hand, I think bitcoin remains unbeatable, if am to invest over and over again I will continue to choose bitcoin, OP, do you know that people chose altcoin because of the existence of bitcoin, there are still people that doesn't believe in altcoin, I want you to understand that the value and profit potentials of bitcoin can not be compared with that of altcoin, try to make your versed findings before bring anything to the public notice. 

1.Please move this thread to the Altcoin discussion forum, if you really want to discuss altcoins.
2.Altcoins hitting an ATH when Bitcoin has a short term price pump? I've seen this before and it's not uncommon. You must a be a total crypto noob, if you have never witnessed altcoins hitting ATH when BTC is having a bull run. This correlation only proves that altcoins depend on Bitcoin and they are just an addition to Bitcoin. They can't compete against BTC, they just follow the BTC trend. I guess that the stablecoins are the only altcoins that increase their trading volume when BTC is going down. The problem is that the stablecoin prices are fixed and can't go up. ;D

Opinions on Bitcoin vs Altcoins can change over time. Still, I believe that altcoins had their best shot in 2017 when it really seemed like Bitcoin dominance was gradually going down and when there was a lot of optimism regarding all the cool things that can adopt blockchain and monetize various projects. But then came a long and huge bear market, which made Bitcoin way stronger and from which Bitcoin eventually recovered, but many of the altcoins did not. Now, 6 years later, BTC market dominance (https://www.coingecko.com/en/global-charts) is higher than in 2017, and I don't think it will change anytime soon. Altcoins didn't fulfil their promises, disappointed people who believed in those projects. Bitcoin doesn't disappoint.

There's no basis for comparing recently launched Altcoins with Bitcoin. Such comparisons are skewed because Bitcoin has been around for so long. How can you compare Altcoins that have recently emerged with Bitcoin? You can't take their profit data over a few months and compare it with Bitcoin's. Looking at the long term, will the Altcoins you mentioned still exist in 10 years? But I'm sure that Bitcoin will still be around and irreplaceable in this market.

High profits come with high risks. If your investment amount isn't substantial, you might allocate some to Altcoins to seek higher returns. However, I believe those holding significant amounts or investment funds always prioritize Bitcoin as a top investment in this market.

Yes I agree with you bitcoin is a strong currency but altcoins are not strong.  Because altcoins are usually scams.  Investing in altcoin requires market analysis and investing in altcoin is high risk but anyone can invest in bitcoin whenever they want and hold it for long term to get some profit from it.  But videos on altcoins can also be scams.  There is a great juice potential in this case.  But even if the price of Bitcoin falls, then it will not face any kind of loss.  So Bitcoin should always be everyone's first choice.  And those who have high risk taking ability should invest in altcoins

This is seriously the dumbest comparison I've ever seen, just because these shitcoins have gone up a few tens of percent in the past days and bitcoin hasn't gone up much, the OP has come to the conclusion that they are better than bitcoin.

To evaluate what are good projects worth investing in, we need to have a long-term vision because short-term growth does not guarantee that they can also last long. All the projects the OP mentioned are less than 1 year old so it's difficult to say anything. I even wonder what will happen to them if the bear season lasts longer, but with bitcoin it will always be with us.

OP, in the past 14 years there have been thousands of altcoins created and many of them also claim to surpass bitcoin, but so far there has not been a single shitcoin that can replace bitcoin.

We know Bitcoin is commonly known as "digital gold" and its status and recognition make it a safe investment option. While Bitcoin is considered a safe and established cryptocurrency, it differs from altcoins and has specific opportunities for different investments or holdings in a portfolio. But predicting the price movements of altcoins can be challenging, and they are often approached with a more short-term perspective than Bitcoin. In general, altcoins have higher market risk and short-term profit potential, and their price growth can be volatile. I don't think the comparison of altcoins with bitcoin works.

Bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin should not be compared to alt coins. You should not worry about altcoins right now, because you are new to the crypto space. Moreover, alt coins are not worth investing in. Alt coins will disappoint investors. So instead of worrying about alt coins focus more on Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin will hit new ATH next year. Which is going to be very profitable for every investor.

I don't know, probably the most of altcoin related projects pursue a single and common  aim  of taken away money bitcoins from bitcoiners.

 For a years I'm looking for a  decent project that together with bitcoin I have would  give a good run to my money, but didn't find it, so far. Some of them have a good technicalities,  but their  exorbitant total supply halts my intent to add their coins  to my stash, the other ones have the reasonable  total mass but are too poor in technologies.

This is altcoin season as Bitcoin price is trying to go up and as we are expecting bull run due to anticipation of Bitcoin halving in the year 2024.
I think any altcoin that is been listed in a good exchange like Bitget, Mexc, Binance and KuCoin worth investing in because the Bitcoin price movement will influence the general market and since they have small trading volumes, they can go a very high price to give good profits.

I can tell you with all assurety that altcoin are mostly for smart people who knows when to utilize their opportunities in their altcoin investment journey. Most people who chooses altcoin to hold do not actually knows how to go about them because some of the altcoin never maintained market stability to witnessed the bear market and if any witnessed and never failed then we can say such altcoin is worth investing, though short time investment is always better for altcoin since they are easily manipulated. That's why you need to choose wisely better still focused on bitcoin since altcoin are just for those who want quick profits most at times they lose because of not being smart to be able sell out when the market is positive side.

Altcoins are full of pumps and dumps. I think it's natural for Bitcoin to experience an increase followed by several altcoins. Sometimes Bitcoin rises 10%, altcoins can rise up to 100% or even more, yes, but again, when Bitcoin experiences a decline, altcoins also fall deeper, even hundreds of percent. As we know, altcoins are full of pump and dump schemes. For traders who are capable and accustomed to analyzing altcoin movements, they can certainly make big profits. In my opinion, Bitcoin and altcoins are equally profitable for those who are able to take advantage of their price movements.

When Bullish time comes, it seems that all altcoins are telling where BTC is going. So it looks like all altcoins are good for short-term investing, not for long-term. But if you look carefully, I think not all altcoins are good for long-term investing. They exist only for temporary hype. So I think not all token coins listed on well-known exchanges have a guarantee that the coin or token is good. Currently there are some coins that are still able to survive from the moment of starting trading because of their DEV and true community seriously developing. For example, ETH and DOGE.

LOL, supply is not the only factor that determines the quality of a project. Furthermore, today's altcoin projects have a mechanism to burn tokens if they want to reduce supply. Look at ETH, it has an infinite supply but you can see how its value has also increased because it provides several useful functions in the market.

The difference between bitcoin and altcoins is that they do not provide useful and outstanding features like bitcoin such as decentralization, privacy and ensuring our safety. Bitcoin was created with the intention of creating a decentralized monetary system that brings freedom, and gives us full control over our assets without dependence on the government. Meanwhile, altcoins are created for the purpose of hype in search of profit. Meanwhile, altcoins are created with the purpose of hype to generate profits so there are too many scams in them. So altcoins cannot be compared to bitcoin.

Bitcoin is reached in another level, so don't make comparison Bitcoin vs Altcoin. BTC is the most phenomenal digital currency in the world wide, it's a big assets of our future life as like gold. Altcoins can be dead, no bright future as like BTC so It is high risky investment. Even i think there are no existence of altcoins without BTC.

Normally, keeping or holding altcoin for long is not a right choice even if the project is good and looks promising; take FTX and Luna for example.
All altcoins are supposed to be hold for short time and not long term so as to avoid losing your capital all. The only coin to hold for long is Bitcoin because it store value and it is the best investment against inflation.

Investing in cryptocurrencies bitcoin or altcoins are dominated by bitcoin as the main cryptocurrency and are a safer and more stable investment whereas altcoins offer higher potential returns but higher risk. Altcoins are likely to be scams it is not possible to give an exact guarantee of how high these coins will rise. Bitcoin is the king of crypto and altcoins rise in value depending on the value of bitcoin many cryptocurrencies rely on blockchains which are organizational mechanisms to protect the integrity of transactional information. Bitcoin will generally go up based on its supply and demand and then go up again when the price goes down.

From what I can understand from this is that altcoin can't recover at all whenever the bear season for crypto arrives and that bitcoin's the only one that can recover. The part about most altcoins being only created to do a pump and dump scheme is both a curse and a blessing because as you've said you can make profits out of it if you know how to get into them at such an early stage that you can buy at their so-called Genesis and then wait a bit for them to go high but the problem with this is that not all altcoins are like these but then again this is what makes altcoin still in existence. I wouldn't say that they're equally profitable because you're more likely to lose money when you invest in altcoins hoping to hit the one that's going to pump and then dump.

Correct. Not all altcoins are able to return to the highest price/ath they have made, but there are also some that are able to create a new ath. Unfortunately, most traders or investors think that all altcoins will be able to rise again after experiencing a sharp decline during the bearish season, but what happened did not match expectations.
In contrast to Bitcoin which is very capable and optimistic in terms of price recovery until it recorded the latest ATH. In altcoins, if investors or traders do not buy altcoins at the base/bottom price then the profit generated is not much, and even that requires research, complex analysis and the selection of the altcoin itself. If it ends up being a scam, it will only waste time and money.

Bitcoin is the most famous cryptocurrency and also the first decentralized cryptocurrency in the world, and has strong brand recognition among investors and the general public because they will know Bitcoin first before getting to know altcoins.
Bitcoin and altcoins are highly volatile currencies, but altcoins are often more volatile than Bitcoin, which can pose significant risks for investors. However altcoins will be most profitable for those who have skill and intelligence in terms of pum and dum and are also easy to manipulate, and just by buying and selling at the right time they will make huge profits. If you are late you will experience losses, and this often happens to altcoins, in fact many altcoins end up being fraudulent, especially new altcoins.
And in my opinion, a very safe and low risk option is Bitcoin and this is mainly for long term investment. And Bitcoin has a good track record when it comes to long-term investments that will give you satisfying profits if it always accumulates every time Bitcoin goes down.

AltcoinS just created with trading and for grab bitcoin for new btc and crypto trader actually altcoin have no power as like as btc. altcoin is only a centralized coin which able to trade up and down with altcoin creator and some expert trader can able to trade and increase btc with altcoin trading.

So I think altcoin is just a option to trade and opportunity for trader to increase their BTC btc amount.

If you love altcoins, you must read this article.
The two types of altcoins in an investor view (https://woobull.com/the-two-types-of-altcoins-an-investors-view/).

What are two types of altcoins?
- Oscillator
- Degenerator

Most of altcoins belong to Degenerator type that means their prices will lose, decay with time till their coins are dead.

Very few altcoins belong to Oscillator type but very few of them can make new all time high with each Bitcoin market cycle.

The chart type is fearful enough because you will lose money with it and time.

Be careful if you want to use altcoins for investment or trading. Usually, altcoins that are new to the market will get the pump. After that, the price will experience a correction and some altcoins will even drop drastically from their presale prices. If you want to get into altcoins, you can wait until the price drops drastically. But you need to find more information about why you chose that coin.

I still have several altcoins that couldn't find their place during the last altcoin season. I don't know if those coins can find their place in the next altcoin season. Of course, the coins are still waiting until now. I also bought some new coins to experiment with and to see how well they perform in the short and medium term. If the new coins can go up, I'll sell them, maybe all of them ;D

But I still hold my Bitcoin because Bitcoin is my main investment and for the long term. Invest in altcoins only for the short and medium term and once you make a profit from the coins, get out immediately and before the price drops drastically.

Exactly, Private investors including the team itself will surely dump their bag one the token price hit the ceiling for growth. I rarely invest on new coin that shows volatility since it’s very hard to recover your loss once you left behind after the hype is over. That’s why sticking to basic which is investing majorly on Bitcoin is the best choice since it always recovers no matter how downfall it goes unlike other shitcoins that never recover even for many years of waiting.

I think altcoin should never be used for investment as it can be a scam any time. We have seen many altcoins turn into scams in the past, especially good projects like Luna FTX etc died. If we use and invest Bitcoin, it will be the best and safest coin for us and the most to earn money.  I will never invest in altcoins because I believe they can be scammed at any time except for some coins. But for BNB and ETH good investment it is likely to be a scam and their future will be good so if you invest here you will have no fear of loss. And the best thing is Bitcoin where you have security of your money by investing, and it is possible to earn a good amount of money from it in the future, so BTC is the suitable investment coin.

Yes, Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, is the most well-known brand; its the first name that people hear when they hear digital currency. How good is it as a long-term investment? Pretty amazing. But lets not forget how appealing altcoins are. Yes, they're high risk and volatile, but isnt that where smart players make their money? The trick, though, is that "pump and dump" is like ballet: one wrong move and you're falling. Bitcoin or Altcoins? Like a siren's call for those who are quick and smart, but dangerous for those who arent.

On the other hand, Bitcoin is a rock of security in this rough sea. Its past behaviour? An example of strength and slow growth. It' the turtle in a race with hares: steady, dependable, and in the end, the winner. Because of this, Bitcoin is still the safest option for people looking to invest in the volatile world of crypto. It is a sign of long-term value in a world where wealth come and go quickly.

Yes, I can understand from what angle you're saying this as that dominance is now around 51% as against 75% to 80% we used to have it  less than a seven years ago. However, at 51% Bitcoin is still dusting the rest of the pack of cryptos with ETH coming a distant second with  around 17% market dominance according to CMC data.

For those who want to invest in altcoins, make your pick from altcoins with use cases. Don't pick randomly based on price. Also, remember that altcoins often pump after Bitcoin is done pumping as investors will cash out of Bitcoin and move their profit to alts. In my speculation, I guess later part of 2025 is going to be another altcoin memorable period. That's the period I want to see alts pump real hard.

Not all alt coins are the same, have a look at LTC.
exchanges are often hacked anyway and some are even set up to fraud once the price goes down.

You are certainly among the few that understand my perspective. ETH is an altcoin with newly $300M mcap and some people still think less of it. As a matter of fact, ETH started the 2020 bullrun before BTC followed up and we might see a repeat of it in the next bullrun but it might not start with ETH this time. There are several altcoins with good utility and fundamentals but perhaps we are too sentimental to see it because of our interest in BTC. No doubt no altcoins can contend with BTC but we should also remember BTC didn't just became big overnight. There was a time when many people doubted it and wouldn't buy it despite been less than $1. People categorizing altcoins as shitcoins obviously don't know anything imo because shitcoins are memecoin that follow hypes unlike tokens like ETH, KAS, BGB, SOL and some unique altcoins that have amazing utility

What is there to look for in LTC other than the price chart running very similar to Bitcoin's chart in the market? I only see price stability and stability in LTC even though LTC is not a stable altcoin, but LTC could be an additional option for those who like altcoins after choosing Bitcoin. Because for me Bitcoin remains the first choice before choosing an altcoin to make trades in the short term or long term and currently everyone can also see the price increase that is occurring in LTC, as well as Bitcoin which is currently moving upwards towards $37K again.

Crypto was invented to shut out the middle-men
What most people love in Crypto is the raise of value, thus they are after FIAT.

LTC is the coin which is fast, does not cost an arm to pass from one wallet to another and has a high network activity.
Sure its is not a store of value. But you won't find store of value in Whitepapers either.

You can be sure the dominance will continue to drop until around 30%. FYI BTC is also subject to some form of speculations as you can see what happened when the fake news of the Black rock spot ETF approval hit the space. Recall BTC also hit a record ATH of $68k back in 2021 and those that bought at the peak of it haven't recovered from the loss as well. I totally understand everyone's perspective about Bitcoin dominance and I also advocate for users to Hodl more BTC than any other altcoins but we cant relegate other altcoins like ETH, XRP even exchange tokens like BNB and BGB that has specific use cases and have been constantly growing over time.

No one is contesting the superiority of BTC but the information is that some altcoins too have build up to some certain level and doesn't really depend on BTC price action 💯%. A simple example is XRP that moved from $0.47 to $0.8 a couple of weeks ago while BTC remained stagnant. With an mcap of over $30B not to talk of ETH with mcap of $237B, I think some altcoins deserve some respect. The next bullrun will prove a point and am damn sure it's going to surprise many. Until then, let's continue to Hodl some prospective altcoins in addition to BTC while not forgetting the potential of exchange token like BGB that has been bullish and performing really well.

Why is ETH, SOL and even XRP recovering despite the fact that the bullrun is not even here. I think you just have to wait for the next bullrun to see what happens. Incase you dont know, altcoins are what have kept the crypto industry afloat because most people can't afford to buy BTC and if the 49% of the total mcap belonging to altcoins available in the space is removed, BTC will trade at less than $5,000. Not all altcoins are pump and dump token, many do really have real world use cases while some have perculiar function they perform I their ecosystem.

It's because the same of the older topics that I have seen moved in the altcoin discussions. But it is staying here so I guess mod have already decided to keep it here on this section.

That's true that many of these altcoins are not the typical ones that we know of. It's okay to be a Bitcoin maximalist and we're all agreeing with any argument that will be with against altcoins. I am for the tip to say for the newbies to invest only in Bitcoin first and if they want to continue going on and want some alts, they should never stop learning and researching.

You know, dude, whether altcoins or bitcoin have the same risk and both are volatile as well, so don't say that it's not good to invest in altcoins; it's not because you think FTX is dead because what happened here is the same with all altcoins. I think that your view and belief are wrong.

There are some altcoins that are often used by scammers to prey on investors here in crypto, but that does not mean that altcoins are bad; they are not. I hope that sometime we will adjust what we say in the forum so that the other will not be deceiving to those who still have zero knowledge of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. Because for me, altcoins and bitcoin are both good; we just need to know how to look for legitimate coins in this business.

For now, I still don't see altcoins that have high potentials to grow and could be an asset for long term hodling, except for Ethereum that has established his value for years now. I'm more on focused on bitcoin accumulation most especially that the market is looking more positive due to the incoming bull run by next year.

Bitcoin still dominates the market until this time, and no existing altcoins that can beat Bitcoin for now. But to be honest, I'm open for altcoin investments in the future as long as I can prove the worth of these coins, and as long as they're not into pump and dump scheme just like majority of the altcoins in the market.

I don't think so. Bitcoin and altcoin have a seriously different level of the risks. When you hold Bitcoin, it should last a long time with no doubt. Since it was created several years ago, there is no issue that proves Bitcoin to disappear. While for altcoins, we already many times that altcoins can disappear or delisted from exchanges.

It is just proven that altcoins have a higher risk. Sure, not all altcoins are bad, but no doubt that investing in altcoins will be riskier. If we choose random altcoins carelessly, the worse scenario that we can get is that we lose all our money because the altcoins are scams. Meanwhile if we hold Bitcoin, we can be confident that Bitcoin will always exist in crypto space.

People can know about risk or can not know about risk of altcoins but a bigger fact is they see altcoins are more attractive and more promising than Bitcoin to help them increasing their portfolio value.

With this thinking, they easily ignore risk of altcoins and invest in altcoins. After that first step, investing money in altcoins, they will stuck more in altcoins and it's hard for them to stop. They are lucky if they choose altcoins like Ethereum, Dogecoin to invest because with those altcoins, they got bigger portfolio value if they hold those altcoins.

They are unlucky or can be called stupid, if they invested in other altcoins that are now dead or even died years ago.

If investors want something safe or safest in cryptocurrency market, it's Bitcoin. Not safest but safe, it is Ethereum.

Actually, if we talk about technology, a coin that brings real convenience and practical applications, bitcoin is the top candidate. And since it is a decentralized currency created with a clear purpose and the demand for it will always be there, it is truly the safest coin. But if we are here for profit then we can consider investing in altcoins as we all see that altcoins are giving better returns despite having greater risks. In investing, if you want high profits, you must accept high risks. Besides ETH, I see ADA, XRP...all are altcoins that can bring us significant profits. But as I said, it has greater risk than bitcoin so we need to consider carefully.

This is also the reason why it is hard to believe in New project now that will surely progress because
of everything in the world has already in existing here in cryptospace so what are the new one that they can offer? this is the
problem when we  already reached the system and the competition only runs if who can serve better and not because they are unique .

Safe investing is still exist but for ranking coins New project offers best return but the
assurance is what we need and we can only have them having investing in older coins that have proven their worth all these years.

First of all altcoin cannot be compared with Bitcoin, because the characteristics of Bitcoin make it stand out among all cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is on the support of 36500, if it goes down from here there is no problem, but this is another opportunity for all of us to buy Bitcoin at low price. People who have capital are happy when the price of Bitcoin goes down because it gives them the opportunity to make new investments.All the coins you mentioned are currently giving good returns, but you need to do proper research on them, because there are some that have no future.

There is no doubt that we are all waiting for the bull season, because those who bought at a good price in the bear season are likely to get a good profit in the next season. I have half of my capital in bitcoin, while also investing in altcoins including some top cryptocurrencies and some newer cryptocurrencies, and I am sure it can give a good profit in the future, because their team is active, bringing new updates and doing different partnerships,So they have more chance of profit.However, out of all these I think Bitcoin is the best investment.

 Bitcoin is the king among other cryptocurrencies in the market, and you need to use Bitcoin price to determine what will happen in other altcoins price in the future. I have invested in Bitcoin when the price was around $23,542 which I have hope that I will achieve something altcoins cannot give to me when the bullish season appear, because I have tested altcoins that made me to believe that whenever the price of Bitcoin is rising other cryptocurrencies price will be rising too. I think, Ethereum and XRP are the two altcoins I used little money to purchased few months ago, and I will release the altcoins when the price hit higher any moment from now but I will not touch the Bitcoin till 2025.

What you need to know is that price is not a benchmark for saying that a project is very fundamental. You know how speculative this market is, both now and in the future. There is a lot of speculation going on so for altcoins don't be too optimistic in seeing things. Whether you admit it or not, the most optimistic is none other than BTC.

This is a market rife with manipulation, so looking at the temporary value of some altcoins and assuming they are good is a pretty naive way of thinking. I remember before Luna collapsed, its capitalization at its peak was more than 40 billion USD, but it collapsed quickly in just 2 weeks and swept away everything of investors. Therefore, do not look at the capitalization of a project to evaluate its quality and future.

I don't object or hate people who invest in altcoins because they are actually more profitable than bitcoin these days. But we should only consider them as short-term speculation, never believe that they will be the future, will be applied in practice...They are suitable for speculation and should be avoided once profitable.

Holding Shiba Inu for a long time when this type of coin was hyped, I ignore it because altcoins can never be compared to Bitcoin, even though the coins you mentioned reached the latest ath even though Bitcoin is still at a price that is not too high then it is not a guarantee that the altcoin will reach its latest ath again when the market enters the bull run period, I actually predict that many will be trapped in the altcoin and forced to sell because its movement in the bullish period will not be comparable to the movement of Bitcoin because during bullish times it is Bitcoin holders who will enjoy profits while there are only a few altcoins and unfortunately no one can correctly guess which altcoin can provide profits at that time.

I would not even go as far as to compare Bitcoin with altcoins, lol...

I admit to trading altcoins to leverage my Bitcoin sometimes but I deeply believe that the only reliable and trustworthy store of value is Bitcoin.

But altcoins have fascinating functions which the blockchain of Bitcoin does not support. DeFi being the most interesting one. And if you go by that popularity as a reason for investment then at least pick only from the most popular altcoins which rank in the very top on coinmarketcap.  The lower in rank you go, the riskier the investment becomes, not only because the project might be bad but because of low liquidity, you might never be able to retrade your BTC back (or at least a part).

All the altcoins you have mentioned, are considered by myself as extremely risky. I would keep away.

Because it does not worth to compare them as no reason to compare Diamond and Coal.

Altcoins only less risky in bull market and when Bitcoin starts to show signals of a bear market, it's time to cash out all altcoins and don't touch them for about next 2 years. Why next 2 years but not shorter? Because a Bitcoin bear market usually last 2 years and the third year will be time for warm up and recovery before a next bull run.

We are counting down to the next halving and next bull market.

I state that all altcoins that are considered are experiencing massive price increases due to the increasing price of Bitcoin. When Bitcoin experiences an increase in price, altcoins feel it too.
More than 9 altcoins that you mentioned are experiencing an increase in price due to Bitcoin's increase. October saw the start of an increase in Bitcoin prices and now it is still standing at 37K. At the same time, the increase in altcoin prices that you mentioned began to occur in October and is still in the increasing phase.

Altcoins nowadays are mostly just for entertainment. I stick to hodling and accumulating BTC, while small amounts of altcoins like LTC and BNB serve as a little side amusement in the cryptocurrency world. Right now, I don't have high hopes for altcoins. I see them as a game, where some make big profits, and others go bust. It's like playing in a casino, isn't it?

Regular folks are drawn to Bitcoin because of its solid fundamentals, and at the same time, scams involving altcoins are still happening. Projects with low liquidity are too risky and better off avoided. There are so many low liquidity alts projects, indicating that many amateur developers enter the crypto world through altcoins. Instead of risking more significant amounts of money, I think it's fine to just see it as a form of fun.

Many are, but seeing the popularity, we can say that entertainment is an undervalued asset class of its own. I think there can be a lot of money in entertainment. But everyone has different core values and diverse ideas of what an investment should be.

So I am not going to judge anyone for buying altcoins or even NFTs. Its their money and their choice. They know exactly what they are paying for and they buy it anyway- that has got to mean something. ???

You are not wrong, btc cannot be compared with any altcoin even though the altcoin has reached a new ATH because basically bitcoin is the king of altcoins so it is difficult to compare altcoins with kings whose goals are clearly different.

In the long term, it is suitable to invest in BTC because you don't need special skills and you can avoid losses as long as you don't sell it. This is very different from altcoins. We have seen several times that many altcoins that were very promising at first ended up turning to dust. Altcoins can indeed produce multiple profits, but we need experience and skills to invest in altcoins because without this we will all just be caught up in the hype.

That's the real challenge if you chose to invest in altcoins. You have to do due diligence to research so you will end up investing in the right coins, and not just random coins that have suddenly arise in the market and then put all your money and trust into it because they're promising coins. Of course, all coins would claim that they're totally promising but little did we know that they're up to scam us and vanish in the market suddenly once we have put our funds into it.

Although I'm not saying it in general  because some altcoins are still safe and profitable to invest, but we just have to land at the right coins so we won't end up investing at a loss and regretting.

I don't think so. Bitcoin will continue to dominate and altcoins will usually follow. Well, there are indeed lots of altcoins that we encounter in the market. but try to check how many of them are able to survive and ultimately stay in the top rank of the altcoins market? Well, maybe just a few percentages. Meanwhile, Bitcoin can always come back and surpass its previous track. And, hmmm, there are many reasons why Bitcoin continues to dominate and will continue to do so.

Who are they?
Experiencing a significant increase in ATH while Bitcoin has not, does not mean that Bitcoin's dominance is weakening. There are several other factors why these coins can pump up. Hype coins can indeed skyrocket very significantly in a very short time. But the question again is, how long can they stay at that price? Well, maybe soon it will stop and in the end they will experience a very drastic decline. Meanwhile, Bitcoin will continue rising gradually.

A good trader should be very interested in altcoins to the point of having some or have had some experience trading some altcoins in times past.
I have always also beenof the opinion that trading altcoins is good for easy profits, but if one ones to consider a long term investment yield, BTC is a more stable option and its value is rewarding over the time.

The truth is, with altcoins it's always hard to recover its price once that price has dropped so deeply. You might wait for couple of months or years to see it recovering but majority still end up as dead coins except for those established altcoins in the market that sustain their position in the market cap. That is why instead of wasting your time and money for altcoins, why not focus on bitcoin and expect bigger chances of profiting despite of its high volatility. Well, volatility is the obvious reason why a lot of us are hitting huge profits in bitcoin and keeps the excitement when investing in bitcoin.

However, diversifying bitcoin with established altcoins in the market is also a good option. But never put some high expectations on these altcoins since the risk to lose is still high compared to bitcoin.

Yeah alt coin are good but you can't compare it with btc. Bcus Btc is like the mother of alt coin
So no matter what btc coin still remains tha best...

Most of those making such presuming statements about bitcoin in comparison with altcoins are making big mistakes most especially if such statements are made out of not considering the long-term potential of both assets, most of those forks are just excited about the short-term pump in price of those coins and while Bitcoin does not react to such fake market dynamism it becomes technically hard for them with low knowledge on the market to make a difference between Bitcoin price movement and altcoin price movement.
For me, altcoins should be taken for short-term market speculations and should only be speculated and gambled on by those who know the mechanism of how the market works amid its high instability and volatility, this and many more are the factors that make altcoins incomparable to Bitcoin.
With Bitcoin one can invest and hold for as long as possible,  but if you try such a mechanism with altcoins, most especially those that are listed in the ops, there be no doubt that you end in loss, because by the time you return after a long time, your investment may have turned worthless,  because of unrecoverable fall of its market,  but same can not happen with bitcoin, so this is what makes the big difference between bitcoin and altcoin.

I agree with you, using altcoins for investment is kind of stupid. There is no chance of making a profit by investing in altcoins. Many have become destitute after losing their capital due to fraud by altcoins. The rate at which altcoins are mired in scams. Accordingly 99% of altcoins will turn out to be scams at some point. But I think Bitcoin is the best to invest and profit. Bitcoin is a promising currency in which people can easily profit by investing. The rate at which people are now becoming interested in using Bitcoin. It is expected that Bitcoin will become popular all over the world in the future

There's more strategy and technique required to making lots of money in altcoins because your timkmg had to be right from buy to sales of the  altcoins so that you can  cash out and invest that money into Bitcoin.

I won’t really agree that the reason it’s hard to believe is that everything is already existing in crypto. Let’s think of this, if we assumed everything was just okay and complete when Bitcoin was created, how then was there room for Eth? How then did we have room to accommodate BNB, XLM, XRP, Etc? We should bear in mind that Bitcoin is only the most recent tech, there’s a tendency that a new and unique cryptocurrency could emerge. Even if everything was already in crypto, there’s room for better versions of it.

Pretty good point buddy.
We are now in a market where the nature is manipulative especially for altcoins and some projects that can be said to be garbage that actually makes you complacent with the scheme that always happens.
We are not in a gambling system if we talk about investing and prices are not always a benchmark because in the end if we really want to invest then the best is still bitcoin.

This may sound quite cliché but at the end of the day we all have experience how altcoins work and I was also in it a few years ago and as a result I have the same answer as everyone else where btc remains the top choice for the long term because even though altcoins are a condition where it can be more profitable but in the end the risks are also much greater.

I agree with you that even if bitcoin is too popular or cryptocurrency itself is the most advanced technology in relation to currency up to date, there is still a long way to go. Many people could develop a new technology, especially in this era of the advancement of new technologies. Those people who keep the new technology will never grow, as it will be beneficial for us if there are more options out there. Don't get me wrong, I'm into bitcoin, and I am a solid crypto currency fan and believer. But I'm not closed-minded to other technologies; in fact, I'm very open to them so I can explore more, and of course there are more ways to earn profit.

Anyway, comparing bitcoin to altcoins is very wrong, as bitcoin is a solid coin and has been reining over the years, but there are a lot of altcoins that emerged but didn't last long.

Without a doubt I can see why those that are just finding out more about this market may be interested in altcoins, since not only altcoins have in theory the possibility to grow at a faster rate than bitcoin due to their lower market cap, but they also offer those people the opportunity to invest early on their development, and it may seem as if they have the chance to make it big with those coins, but we know that often there is nothing which can sustain the growth of those coins other than hype, and anyone interested in remaining invested in this market for the long term should simply avoid altcoins and invest in bitcoin instead.

Indeed, there's no basis for such comparisons. Even comparing with existing Altcoins that have gone through multiple cycles, like ETH, is challenging, let alone Bitcoin. After a few months, new coins might bring hundreds of percentage profits, but over a year, it could easily be reduced to zero.
Bitcoin is the original foundation of this market. It carries an iconic status and is synonymous with the market itself. Several hundred or even a few thousand Altcoins may come and go through each cycle, but the market persists as long as Bitcoin doesn't collapse. Therefore, comparisons should only be made among coins in the same category, which I think would be more reasonable.

Altcoins always involve increased risks, and it all depends on how much you are willing to invest in each coin. I repeat, Bitcoin is a fundamental investment in which you can invest a fairly large part of your portfolio, but if you want to invest in altcoins, then you need to allocate only a small part of your funds available for investment.

In addition to the fact that altcoins can show greater growth compared to Bitcoin, they can also show a disproportionately greater decline, so you always need to assess the risks and understand that investments in altcoins may be lost. The greater the expected profit, the greater the risks.

Altcoin markets are risky and fraudulent, making Bitcoin a superior choice. Isnt this view too simple? Its not black or white to invest. Many agree with your opinion, however you dont explain the market. Although Bitcoin has been stable, it can fluctuate and be affected by legislation. However, altcoins offer variety and better returns despite their volatility.

Your experience supports your Bitcoin preference. However, isnt investment personal? Altcoins' high-risk, high-reward nature attracts investors. They may take bigger chances since they know more about projects or are betting on new technologies. It depends on how much risk you're ready to take to gain more money, or you can stick to Bitcoin. Its not only about returns; be prepared for danger.

In short, the higher the profit, the higher the risk, everything has its price. If people like thrills and are willing to take risks, they can also invest in altcoins to seek high returns. Bitcoin is actually a pretty safe investment and the profits are also very significant, but I think it is not wise for us to focus 100% on bitcoin because we will miss out on some opportunities with altcoins. So, in my opinion, we can allocate 80-90% of our capital to invest in bitcoin, the remaining 20% we can try with altcoins to find bigger opportunities.

What you said made me flash back on how people fake it here, I think people have started to wake up and be wise. They have started viewing Bitcoin and altcoins as investment opportunities rather than pitching them together as rivals where they would support one and invest in it and shun others and also advise people to shun them. Strangely, most of these people misleading others are actually investing in altcoins but would be saying in the forum that it's all Bitcoin alone, but in practice, they might have more percentage of altcoins than Bitcoin in their wallets, they only faked it.

But for people like us who always advice rightly and tell it to their face what's to be done rightly is now making people know how to invest rightly. Fine, Bitcoin is still the best of them all, nevertheless, the size is heavy already and where some altcoins might be earning you 10 times easily, Bitcoin might still only double it for you. So as a smart investor, why not invest a certain amount in Bitcoins and invest the rest in altcoins so that you take advantage of the two? A 30% investment in Bitcoin and a 70% investment in altcoin can't be a bad idea in my thinking. But one must be very careful as well because it's not all coins/tokens that are worth the investment. Just find the right project that is popular and reasonable enough, and investigate the performance, community and projects behind them before committing your money.

well, I think, bitcoin and altcoins are not comparable. In fact, no matter how good we talk about altcoins, in the end altcoins will follow in Bitcoin's footsteps. We know that currently ethereum is the best altcoin that has high volume, and has benefits that are very widely used. However, as good as ethereum is, it is not enough compared to bitcoin, and in fact ethereum is still related to following bitcoin.
However, the potential of altcoins is quite good when the crypto is in a bull market, in fact, many of us include popular and unpopular altcoins in their portfolios instead of bitcoin. However, that alone is not enough to compare bitcoin and altcoins. I'm pretty sure that almost all crypto holders have altcoins in their wallets, but try to make bitcoin a priority.

Altcoins investors are mostly short term and majority of Bitcoin investors and long term because they know that way they optimize the profitability they can get out of Bitcoin ant to a very far extent it's got some solid and sustainable frame which can be trusted as compared to certain Altcoins which could possibly come up with issues in the nearest future and in some cases they even get dumped. But with Bitcoin you get some level of certainty with how well your investment is safe especially in the long term even if we know not everything last for ever but there's some credibility with Bitcoin.

And that's why Bitcoin remains the top coin and been followed by others, this is due to the credibility it has gotten over the years resulting from it's consistency shown over the years and that's why it's always possible to see Bitcoin investors who don't have altcoins but most altcoins investors mostly add Bitcoin to their portfolio.

Indeed, investing in Bitcoin alone is safe, but by choosing altcoins we will get bigger profits. for me it would probably be bigger to allocate to altcoins with a division of 60% for bitcoin and 40% for altcoins which I would diversify into several top altcoins, and a little capital for new altcoins which I think have good prospects, so I hope they are still in safe category, even though you dare to speculate with higher risks

There is no comparison between bitcoin and altcoins and also there is no competition of bitcoin with other coins because btc occupy a top position in all cryptocurrency coin hence it is termed as king in cryptocurrency world. As a king order to follow his role same bitcoin do because whenever changes occur in market then the reason behind this is the change in bitcoin worth.

Everyone will heard that through altcoins alteration there is no impacts on bitcoin even some altcoins lost from cryptocurrency world but bitcoin is ineffective. If bitcoin goes in dip or boost in price then definitely altcoins will follow this similar trend so altcoins can never get the position of bitcoin.

  Very hard to say in such an unregulated environment like crypto ecosystem but making use of the available tool, we look at the Cryptocurrencies that have a strong background, working and existing product, real world applicable usecase, strong and experience team. Coins like Ripple, ethereum, veil, litecoin, bnb etc can survive any ugly crypto condition. Remember always DYOR.
   Ripple Lab’s XRP token is among the top digital currencies in terms of market capitalization, and its popularity continues to grow among investors. It’s one of the most affordable altcoins, and the growing adoption of the Ripple network by banks for high-speed, low-cost international payments means XRP, the network’s native currency, has great potential. Litecoin’s strong following also gives it a lot of potential. Its affordable price relative to bitcoin and Ether makes it one of the most accessible major altcoins. Litecoin also has great potential as a medium of exchange considering its adoption as a payment option by many businesses, including furniture retailer Overstock.

@Op Those who hold altcoins must face losses. But altcoins are most likely to be wiped out if they hold on for a long time. Holding an altcoin will make investors gain for a while, and for the most part end up with a loss. 

But the longer you hold bitcoins, the more you will benefit. Because the price of Bitcoin always shows signs of upward movement. Bitcoin halving in 2024 will lead to a rapid price increase due to which many are holding on to Bitcoin. If you hold Bitcoin for a long time, the risk will be much lower and the benefit will be higher. I would recommend keeping bitcoins away because I have held bitcoins myself for a long time. Bitcoin, the real people's currency, is loved by everyone these days.

It's normal to see to few altcoins reach ATM especially when the price of Bitcoin start a bullish sentiment that is not the reason to downgrade Bitcoin occasionally some altcoins do hit ATM this would absolutely continue in as much as there are new investors into the project and the project serve as a solution to a problem, therefore  before TAO, KAS, BGB, TIA etc you mentioned reached ATM there are other altcoin that had achieve that feat with reference to charts of all the altcoins in Binance, however investors of those altcoins should count themselves very lucky because there are plenty of shit altcoins in the crypto market who got some investors too unfortunately ended up as failure.

There is no such thing as accurate analysis or predictions, of course you still need to follow the market direction. But whether 2024 altcoin prices are guaranteed to rise, no one knows for sure. The main factor is that if demand remains the same as today then in 2024 it will increase by 50%. And if demand soars, the market will respond to rise higher. The next question is whether demand remains or even decreases. If interest in altcoins decreases by 50% then altcoins will not go anywhere. What other factors make demand increase or decrease? Yes, of course market sentiment because it is difficult for altcoins to separate themselves from sentiment. Where negative sentiment will make prices fall and positive sentiment will make prices rise.

I guess we are still people who are too optimistic about market analysis because every analysis is a guess and there's no way it will be accurate.
Having said that, the 2024 market is guaranteed to impact the altcoin market but not every altcoin will join the train and those that always follow the Bitcoin market trend will be positively impacted.
In addition, there's the possibility that most crypto that has nothing to offer will survive the next year's market.

I also invest a small portion in altcoins, but 60/40 is quite risky for me, I wouldn't do it, but if that's your plan then you should go for it as long as you know what you're doing with your money.

But I still want to remind you again, high profits come with high risks. Even the top altcoins don't guarantee you anything like bitcoin guarantees you. Don't forget the story of Luna when it was also one of the top 10 altcoins in 2021 but it only took 2 weeks to return to the starting point and thousands of investors lost heavily.

I'm holding polygon now and, am trying to add BNB to it so that I will have something good to earn when the price increase higher in the market because their teams are good team and they are capable to make the coins price to favour their customers. Since the old CEO of binance has be resigned, it will give their customers opportunity to earn well in this season because he will act in a way people will like to invest more in BNB.

BTC is good for long hodling, because the more you hodl it long the more you have the opportunity to earn huge amount of money from it, but I prefer altcoins because am use to short term hodling based on some family issues I love to solve immediately it come up.

We can both make money if we invest in Bitcoin or altcoins. And it all depends on the kind of altcoins we put our money into that will determine how much we are going to make. Cryptocurrency market is volatile and we need to invest what we know we can afford to lose. This is one of the information that is always given to newbies so that they will not be too greedy emotional and out their money in a projects that might end up becoming rug pull. Bitcoin is more safer than the altcoins market but we can as well make more profits from the market than Bitcoin which also depends on the kind of altcoins we put our money into to make profits.

Those who are called leaders are still leaders and cannot be dropped in class. At first glance, BTC seems expensive to own, but in terms of quality, it is very proven here. But if Atcoins especially untested if the price goes down, we will always be in an uncomfortable position and that is the fundamental difference.

Thank you for your response @Dr.Osh, which matches my initial understanding.

If you're thinking of investing in altcoins instead of Bitcoin, you might be wrong. Bitcoin is the only safe place to invest and by investing here you may not get profit in short time but after long time you will get double profit for sure. But it would be best if you invest some of your money in altcoin and hold the rest in bitcoin. Although I would say invest 75% bitcoin and 25% altcoin it will be the best investment and if you take this approach you can earn a lot of profit. Investing in altcoins should definitely be done in those coins that will provide future profits, no scams, invest in high volume coins, but you can stay in the risk-free and safe category.

I would never compare bitcoin to altcoins. Since Bitcoin halving will happen in 2024, it is likely that Bullran will start in 2024 or 2025. Bitcoin halving will happen next year, right now I think Bitcoin should be invested. I am not much interested in investing in alt coins. Because investing in altcoins can expect high profits quickly but carries high risks. I will keep 90% of my investment in Bitcoin and think it is appropriate to invest in Bitcoin as well as 10% in Altcoins. I will invest some amount in BNB and ETH among altcoins.

When talking about investing in altcoins, ETH might be the safest option but I don't think BNB is still a safe and secure option for us. I think you also know about the recent news of CZ, you should reconsider choosing BNB as the altcoin you will buy.

Additionally, investing in altcoins is not as bad as many people are saying. If we are careful in our research and selection, finding hidden gems is not too difficult . As I see it, too many people are adopting the outdated mindset of only investing in bitcoin and staying away from altcoins . Meanwhile, altcoins are bringing good profits in the market.

Altcoins can be an attractive way to make a quick profit, but the risk of loss is very high. If you are looking for a safe and long-term investment, Bitcoin is the better choice. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency with a history of stable performance and is supported by a strong community. Bitcoin also has a much larger market capitalization than any altcoin, which makes it less volatile.

Of course, there is no guarantee that Bitcoin will continue to increase in price in the future. However, Bitcoin is a much safer investment than altcoins for those looking to invest for the long term.

If you already know the history of Bitcoin and the greater support for Bitcoin from the Bitcoin community itself, why do you even say Altcoins could be an interesting way to make quick profits? Even though the potential of altcoins themselves is no better than the potential that Bitcoin has shown to everyone through the market. So I wouldn't think any altcoin could be better than Bitcoin, even though altcoins can create opportunities for quick profits, they also have opportunities for losses that are also much faster.

Talking about guaranteed price increases, there is always no accurate certainty, but if you have seen and felt how Bitcoin develops and increases through a four-year cycle. You should also be aware that Bitcoin still has the opportunity and guarantee of price increases in each cycle, although not in a timely manner, because shifts in predictions definitely occur through conditions and situations that are always different in each cycle. So don't focus too much on altcoins if you are truly aware of the goodness of Bitcoin that you have seen with your own eyes.

A lot of people thinks like you and look for the safe way to go with altcoins, and as you mentioned, ETH is one of those good options. But i like more the high-risk options, those shitcoins who can bump 1000% in 24h. Is hard to chase them but if you ride the right wave then you will find a fast way to multiply your cryptos. But remember, high risk can make us lose big too. So, play it smart.

I think altcoins should never be compared to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the best in the cryptocurrency world and is called the king of all currencies, where people invest the most and most people trust this currency. So if you invest in bitcoins you will never face loss and no risk, it will give you maximum security of your money. But whenever you invest in altcoin it is always risky for your money, and it can cause you loss at any time. Most altcoins turn out to be scams, and we have seen many coins in the past become scams where people lost huge amounts of money. According to that I think it is better to avoid these coins all the time but for long term investment Bitcoin is the best currency.

if bitcoin halving is coming in 2024 so i hold bitcoin in my ability, different altcoins included in my portfolio,
likes some coins are top 100 ranking (eth,xrp,sol,matic,ada,bnb)  and a lot underrated coins also,
even i want to try my luck with meme coins, so i have shiba,floki,pepe,doge and hex, meme coins can also pump huge so i tried to invest a little bit.

The biggest difficulty with shitcoins is that you can’t invest a lot of money in them. It is difficult to predict which one will be able to grow so well and therefore you need to invest not large sums in them, besides, with shitcoins there is a risk that you may simply lose what you invest.

And with Bitcoin, although we will not be able to get such a big growth, this investment will be much more reliable, since Bitcoin is a coin that very significantly influences the movement of the entire market and it has become interesting to too many large players, for anything to happen to it.

That TAO honestly tried to invest there, and although it was expensive when I bought it, I think it's fine because it moves aggressively every day. I get profit here every day, to be honest.

which is able to help me accumulate in other cryptos that I want to accumulate in the upcoming halving, and I think that if I continue to get profit daily in these altcoins, it is good and in my favor, to be honest. Even up to now, he had a big dump, but he was still in favor because I was with him, so he was able to liquidate somehow. That's why I continue with my trading activity here in Tao.

I'm just saying that ETH is the safest choice when it comes to altcoins, but I'm not saying that I don't invest in new altcoins. Indeed, finding hidden gems or projects that bring high and quick profits is very difficult but not impossible to find. if we know how and stay in the right lane like you said we can always find them. But what I also want to add is, many people also come here for profit but they reject altcoins and consider them useless. They only look at the negative side of it and judge, if you look at the profit side of it, it's not as bad as people say. It's a pity that many people are wasting their opportunities with altcoins.

You’re right, but one thing we need to understand is we’re not in this space for stagnation, there are still some other projects that can pose good and have high profit making potential even more than BTC, we just have to DYOR and be open minded. Besides Alt coins like BGB, BNB & ETH still have a good potential for profit.

The general opinion of those around me is similar to yours. Most people invest in Bitcoin because it's a guaranteed investment and doesn't cause losses in the long run. The high risks of altcoins can sometimes scare people away from investing. The negative news we have experienced recently has kept people around me away from altcoin investments.

I think we should invest in Bitcoin during this period. Bitcoin is the safest harbor as we are very close to the bull season.

There are many altcoins pumping more than bitcoin but I claim they are not as reliable. Bitcoin is the only digital currency that all cryptocurrencies depend on so there can be no coin better than Bitcoin.
2024 will be the best bitcoin investment as the bull market will start soon. But altcoin pumps high and sometimes gives profit but mostly a risky one. So I think it is better to avoid investing in altcoins and if you want to invest then definitely I think it is better to invest in Ethereum.

Exactly, Bitcoins is the first crypto ever introduced to mankind. Now they are comparing it with these worthless altcoins which are designed by seeing the Bitcoins only. Yes some altcoins give good profits in shorter period of time, but that doesn’t mean that they will be very valuable and as popular as Bitcoins. If you are planning to make some good profits in the longer run, then Bitcoins will be handy in those time. Hence, it will be beneficial if you invest your hard earned money in Bitcoins rather than any alts for steady profits.

Most altcoins end up scamming those that invested in them, with altcoins the first investors and project teams are at advantage as they can get out of the investment with profits before it falls. Altcoin shoudn't be compared with Bitcoin indeed as Bitcoin wasn't created for making profits as that's how all the altcoins are. They're only been invented as the individual behave the project knows newbies are going to be interested as they're looking for the next big project to do well.

Investing in Bitcoin doesn't mean you won't face losses but the way you Invest will determine if you'll face losses or not. If you invest and hold your Bitcoin, you won't face losses but when you invest and always looking for how to sell and buy more Bitcoin later, you might face losses when you're not successful at doing that as you sell and the market rises. Many investors lose because of trading when they don't know how to trade or understand the market.

It's not wrong to say that most Altcoins are scams, but ETH is also an Altcoin, is it scamming you? Not only ETH but altcoins like LTC, XRP... are also altcoins and have you ever been scammed by them? Not only are they not scams, but they will also bring you huge profits if you trust and invest in them early.

It would be naive and biased to say that investing in bitcoin is risk-free. There is no investment that brings high profits without risk, the higher the profit, the higher the risk. Bitcoin may be safer than altcoins but it is also riskier and riskier when compared to traditional assets.

Bitcoin is the standard in the world of cryptocurrencies, which the entire market is guided by, it is clear that it will be the safest investment of all cryptocurrencies, but it still remains a high-risk investment.

There are no safe investments, there are only less risky ones, which include real estate, but there are no such investments that completely eliminate all risks, in any case, there is a possibility of losing the investment. Now it’s hard to believe that something can happen to Bitcoin, but if such a possibility exists, then there is no need to exclude it.

Early investors leverage many for profit, typically at the expense of latecomers. Compared to Bitcoin's origins and ethos, this phenomenon shows a fundamental difference in purpose and stability. Bitcoin is a technological and philosophical movement, not merely a financial asset.

However, your Bitcoin investing claim needs nuance. Even if "hodling" Bitcoin seems like a surefire technique against losses, market volatility can occur. Even long-term holders have seen value swings. Understanding Bitcoin's long-term potential against short-term market fluctuations is crucial. Altcoin newbies often ignore the hazards for immediate profits.

This is the false problem: people think that all altcoins are scams by nature, while Bitcoin is always safe. Both claims are oversimplified. Bitcoin and altcoin investments have different risk-reward profiles and require market and risk tolerance knowledge. The fundamental problem in bitcoin investing is understanding the intricate interaction of market dynamics, technology breakthroughs, and human psychology.

Trading only Bitcoin will not bring much profit. Altcoins are good diversification

Actually in this case it is a ridiculous situation if we still have to continue to compare bitcoin with altcoins because in the end the comparison can be made if what we are comparing is equivalent. As for bitcoin and altcoin, there is no equality in it so why continue to be compared because in the end we all know which one is the best.
Comparisons like this will only make altcoins worse but I also don't really care about it because I'm not in it for now even though at the beginning I was in crypto I was in altcoins but my focus now will only remain on bitcoin.
But indeed seeing from the OP who is indeed new (possibly because the account is a beginner) I still think this is very reasonable to be asked by them but the answer must also be clear that bitcoin is still bitcoin and it cannot be compared to altcoins.

Exactly, stop comparing bitcoin to altcoins. This comparison should stop. We all know that Bitcoin will be the top coin ever. Altcoins is just the second option, if you want to start investing in bitcoin then go for it, but if you feel that Altcoin will give you a good profit then for Alts. No need to compare just invest and earn.

Yeah, if he really a beginner then we accept it, but if he's here for too long then stop.

I think you are right because bitcoin is not supposed to be use to be compared to other altcoins because have its ways and I believe that the technology of bitcoin is something different, so therefore altcoins is suppose to be use to compared to other altcoins instead of using altcoins to compared to bitcoin, I hope other people know that bitcoin is use to make other altcoins to be valuable in the market, have you also noticed that without bitcoin being increased altcoins can not have or experience a massive increment, this kind of thing is not something you can use to compared with bitcoin

  Both are profitable to me; in fact, it's the first time I've experienced a good profit in this industry in altcoins, not in Bitcoin. Because I can't afford to buy a large amount of bitcoin, I have seen no other alternative but only altcoins.

  And I didn't make a mistake in the decision I made where the price of the altcoins that I had during the bull run way back in 2017 also hit, and somehow there was also Bitcoin, and I also got a profit, just more than altcoins.

you have just lucky that time to purchase the altcoin that has a great growth at the moment but if not then you will surely blame altcoins.
because my experience is first hand in Bitcoin and just recently that i start gaining from Altcoin investmens .
Diversification mate, Buy Bitcoin and buy also Altcoin in which you may earn in all of them as long as you purchase a correct altcoins.

This should be In altcoin section because you mentioned altcoins many times than how much you mentioned Bitcoin  ;D ;D

Kidding aside , it is  not fair for Bitcoin to be compared on those altcoins when they only shows increase while Bitcoin
is still in struggle because you did not bother looking to how much bitcoin reached from 26k to that 36k you said.
I don't know what is your main intention here but I believe that you are here to present those coins that maybe
on your wallet.

in our days now? yeah there should be diversification and alternative because indeed that Bitcoin should be for HOLDING but
this will take time and there are some altcoins that profitable in short term or in trading  daily so yes
we must consider also legit altcoins to take profit.

I guess that you bought your first altcoin on the ICO Boom, in that phase people are investing a lot of money into altcoins, even to some shitcoin, I remember tripling my altcoin value in just one night, and 6 months later the coin has no value at all. It might also happened in today's market but it's getting more rare and very difficult to find a promissable altcoin.

I don't really want to compare bitcoin and altcoin because they are not comparable coins. Bitcoin is a reliable and trustworthy investment platform but other coins in the market are never so reliable and secure platform. Since Bitcoin came into the market till now it has survived well and with a lot of popularity in the market but during this period many altcoins came in the market and disappeared from the market so there is really nothing to compare Bitcoin with altcoin. I am not saying that all altcoin coins in the market are bad but most of them have the potential to be scams which is why I always put bitcoin as my first choice for investing. Some altcoins can be accommodated in the portfolio but in small amounts.

Why are you taking this personally? After all, we are all learning and trying to establish a fact. As much as I do not like to take a side and behave like a real investor, it's Bitcoin enthusiasts who started and do what you are trying to let go more. For me, I so much buy your idea, we should just invest in whatever pleases us and let go of the rest like arguments, it's not the comparison that will help us, but still, it could be a guide for others, especially those who are bent to make the money and even make it more.

However, since this is the context of the topic where Bitcoin and altcoins are being compared in terms of pros and cons, I believe it shouldn't hurt that much as Bitcoin would win some and altcoins would win some. And I don't see any difference in this compared to the ways users had compared Bitcoin with Gold and Bitcoin with the USD. Nonetheless, as we do this, let's be informative, constructive and wise in what we say as Bitcoin will always be number but when it comes to earning more with your investment, I believe and am certain of it that altcoins have that.

I don't think there's any winding down with regards to the era of BTC dominance because the performance of altcoins still have great dependency on bit coin, they only at some point exhibit too much noise in-between the trends that makes them appear like they are doing better but when analysed critically you will discover that in-between it was just these altcoins trying to rally up to follow the trend been created by BTC.

The bull run been anticipated by almost everyone is Bitcoin dependent, it's from the cycle of Bitcoin we get the bull run so if Bitcoin is taken out, no altcoins can cause a notable bull run across the cryptocurrency market so Bitcoin continues with its dominance.

There is no comparison between Bitcoin and Altcoin, because Bitcoin is a reliable and powerful platform but Altcoin is not reliable. Because I have seen many altcoins come to the market but get destroyed again, from that point of view Bitcoin has definitely improved and is a trusted coin. Bitcoin is in great demand among people, but Altcoin is not so popular. Bitcoin support is high in any aspect so Bitcoin is a reliable coin with Bitcoin holders all over the world.

Yes, even real estate or gold will have risks and the issue is whether the risks are small or large, but the funny thing is that many people exaggerate bitcoin to the point that there is no risk. What about altcoins, what do you think about them? As I said, I do not deny that it is not safer than bitcoin but saying that they are useless, is that true when they still bring profits to many other investors? The bull season is approaching and many altcoins will bring huge profits, unfortunately many conservative investors are rejecting that opportunity.

Honestly  I still wonder why people will be comparing bitcoin the first cryptocurrency, the first decentralized currency to altcoins that are imitation to bitcoin. The value of bitcoin shows that bitcoin is better than altcoins, bitcoin controls and lead the cryptocurrency market.  I don't see what is so special in altcoins that people prefer altcoins to bitcoin or want to compare  bitcoin and altcoins.  Bitcoin remains the best and can't be compared to other cryptocurrencies.

No matter how many times we say that to other communities, we can't take it away from other communities that can't stop themselves from comparing altcoins to Bitcoin.

Maybe that's why they say this and compare it, because if you earn altcoins, they can exchange them for Bitcoin anyway, so that's what they say about Bitcoin. But you are right that he should invest in Bitcoin or altcoins as long as you can make a profit from them.

I do not deny that altcoins can bring good profits, but I argue that it is not so easy to find those altcoins that will bring profits greater than Bitcoin.

It will all come down to the fact that some alts will give better profits than Bitcoin, some worse, and in the end you will simply achieve the same profit as when investing in Bitcoin, and maybe less, so I don’t know if it makes sense to buy altcoins if I can just buy Bitcoin and be calm without worrying about anything.

Any smart investor must compare Bitcoin and altcoins objectively. Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency pioneer, is a symbol. Like Gold's trustworthiness in the traditional market, its stability and recognition give it an edge. Yet altcoins' unique characteristics and rapid flexibility promise tempting bigger profits. Investors are guided by this disparity.

Do not oversimplify. Bitcoin is "number one" for its credibility, longevity, and essential significance in the crypto ecosystem, not only market cap. Its worth and stability are seen in its comparison to Gold and USD. While intriguing, altcoins frequently operate in new waters, posing risk and opportunity. Our discourse must traverse these complexities, offering information without bias to educate and enlighten. The aim? To promote informed decision-making, not favoritism.

Bitcoin’s price is too high so you need higher capital if you want to start trading in bitcoin, but on the other hand the altcoins have low price so the profit margin is high with even low capital investment. But in bitcoin your investment is safe and you will get good profit in longer run!

Bitcoin is very old and clumsy, although it is a real digital gold. It hasn't been hacked, and that's why it's good. But the repeated situation with Ordinals now again shows how its blockchain is not modern, but many altcoins have it fast and cheap. For the last two days, I have seen a decline in commissions in the BTC network, and this is cool, because subscription campaigns face difficulties.

Most newbies in the crypto field will be very careful when they want to invest, they will look for the best coins that can provide comfort and guarantee a profit. And it turns out that most newbies choose Bitcoin over Altcoin because it has strong fundamentals in the market. So, in any way, Altcoins can never be compared to Bitcoin. Many Altcoins experienced hype and even recorded new ATH, but what happened after. Learn from Dogecoin's long journey, the hype that occurred was only temporary, after that Doge has returned to its original place.
I believe in Bitcoin more than Altcoins, because Bitcoin guarantees more peace of mind than Altcoins.

Bitcoin should not compared to any cryptocurrency as we all know that that the king is of all crypto is Bitcoin so why we should compare the trusted and good coin to other new coins.  As an investors we should choose Bitcoin cause it will make us happy and have a good profit in the long run and even it's volatile then we can assure that there's a profit In the future.  Unlike altcoins  it's too risky to invest with them cause we don't know that coins we invest is trusted enough.

Finding altcoins that provide high value is very difficult in my opinion. I don't know what your reasons are but I appreciate your thoughts. I think what altcoins have is a huge risk when they no longer become popular. I still remember several altcoins such as waves, solana, monero, sandbox and decentraland which did not have a significant increase due to low market interest. Maybe if we are lucky we will get a gem that can increase up to ten times its initial value. But looking for it among thousands of altcoins I think is still too difficult for me.

Actually in this case I have no problem whatsoever with those who are in altcoins because after all they have their own judgments and arguments which are certainly derived from the research they do. We also have to respect that, it's just that in the perspective of comparison it will not be possible because because as I said earlier the comparison must be based on equality and bitcoin and altcoin will clearly not be equalised. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't be in altcoins because it depends on our individual choices because we have a different focus for each person here and all arguments will also be considered to be true if in the end we like it but on the other hand we also have to realise that it's not too good to compare bitcoin with altcoins because in the end this can never be compared considering bitcoin will definitely remain above altcoins no matter what.

The second coin I am holding is the latest coin that came to the forum which is Eloncoin which has no value in the market for now but we just pray that it will be listed in most of the Centralized Exchanges so that the price  will come up and for cryptocurrency to make or have ground in the ecosystem, it will need enough users to invest in it and not passive investors. I have not really invested on the ones op listed. I have not even tested how the coins are. Because my major investment is on Bitcoin and was not interested to invest in any other coins. But I am thinking to invest on Ethereum next week.

And it would be better if this post was placed on a much more relevant board because as far as I've read you emphasize altcoins more than bitcoin. To be honest, people don't need to compare bitcoin with altcoins because they are quite different, so whatever discussion is in the name of altcoins, they still don't have similarities that can be interpreted to generate profits for people in general.

Altcoins can only provide benefits to a few people and especially those who understand how, because coins like this are quite difficult to predict and only a handful of people can understand them. If you are one of those people then I wish you good luck and success in altcoins.

Even though Bitcoin struggles to hold up to the $36,500 resistance level doesn't make it less to be compared with altcoin. Bitcoin is far better than altcoin any time even if its price stays below $30k.

Have you in a day wondered what will happen to altcoin if bitcoin later falls to $30k from its today's price of $37k? I believe you will quite believe with me that there will be a complete shake-off of all the altcoin prices in the cryptosphere.  Only that alone will show you that all altcoin rely on bitcoin to either thrive or increase in value.

It will now be known who the real and potential altcoins are in the market as Bitcoin's price value in the market gradually rises. Besides that, whether it's bitcoin or altcoins, let's just remember that it gives us the opportunity to make a profit.

But of course, that also depends on our choice, because if the decision we make when choosing a cryptocurrency is right, we will definitely be able to eat well. Comparing each other is correct if it helps both, right?

Finding potential altcoins depends on each person's abilities, knowledge and skills. If it were easy to find then I'm pretty sure people would invest in them and ignore bitcoin. Big rewards should only be given to deserving people, not equally distributed to everyone, including lazy people. Investing in altcoins during bear season is extremely difficult, but it's not so difficult during bull season.
In terms of profits, bitcoin is only safe but cannot bring better profits than altcoins. We don't need to compare bitcoin with new altcoins, you just need to compare the profits of BTC and ETH in the next bull season, and you will see who brings bigger profits.

Lolzz
 Seriously, is like you're comparing superman to batman.
At first most time Btc controls the movement of most altcoins
Because most time when Btc is on bullish momentum.
Most altcoins will be too . And sometimes is not advisable
Hold most altcoins, because. Mosttimes when they dip.
It may take longer time for them to bounce back.
That Why the best and remains the best coin to hold,
Is BITCOIN.

So have you also thought about the case where bitcoin increases to $50k or $60k, how many percent will altcoin increase? Like when bitcoin dropped to 15k$ and many altcoins lost a lot of value but when bitcoin rose to 37k$, many altcoins increased x3, x5 times. The harder altcoins fall, the stronger they will recover and bring bigger profits than bitcoin, that's what's happening, you and some bitcoin maximalists should accept this reality. The market hasn't even entered bull season yet but many altcoins are generating huge profits.

Given the crypto market's complexity, isnt it easy to rank Bitcoin above altcoins? Bitcoin's scalability, transaction speed, and energy usage are issues, even if it led the crypto revolution. Altcoins innovate in these sectors, giving diverse answers and developments. Shouldnt these ideas benefit the crypto ecosystem and maybe influence Bitcoin's evolution?

Additionally, "equality" looks out of context. Every cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin, has its own uses. Arent we supposed to judge them individually rather than uniformly? This view doesnt devalue Bitcoin; it recognizes cryptocurrency's versatility.

Your points are valid enough and the best part is that you are neutral as well. As much as I love that we should limit the argument of Bitcoin vs Altcoins, there will always be valid points that would favour Bitcoin and Altcoins, which is why I believe the tension is being doused these days as people are now embracing the facts therein. When it comes to making more money, altcoins have it and I do not think any right-thinking person would argue otherwise. In the recent minimal bull run, there are altcoins that moved over x7, and some even moved more than x10, so this argument is clear unless the person doesn't want to face the reality due to extremism.

And no one cares about that, what we care about is the truth and the fact, and the right guidance that would continue help all of us in making the best investment plans. As an investor, I am neutral with all assets, I just make my analysis and see the ones that are best for me at any point in time. For investment, I do not have more than 30% as Bitcoin in all my total cryptocurrency holdings, but for crypto trading, I trade 100% Bitcoin. Can you see? I balance it, this is what people should do instead of being sentimental. Bitcoin is the best when it comes to factors like liquidity and others and there are no other coins that would be able to outshine it in this area. For Bitcoin being more liquid than them helps traders avoid manipulation often caused by the thin market liquidity as it's happening with altcoins.

You can not compare Bitcoin with Altcoins.
Yes, some altcoins are pumping, but overall, the alt market is down significantly from the last ATH. Altcoin investment is profitable only for the short term because once an altcoin reaches its ATH, there are chances that it will not touch that price again and might wiped out of the market in a few months. I have seen many Altcoins that were over $250/ coin, and now they are under $10/ coin. Altcoin investment is riskier, and only a few Luckey investors earn good profits.
Stay with Bitcoin if you want to play safe.

op I don't trust any of the coins you mentioned in alt coin. Because of this, the most popular coins were Dougie Coin and Mim Coin. I always like to trade Bitcoin and I have full confidence in Bitcoin. But if you want to invest in alt coin, do it with your caution. Because alt coin sometimes causes us a lot of problems. alt coin does not have much success.

We can't compare Altcoins with Bitcoin. I always think Bitcoin is more popular than Altcoins which is why I like Bitcoin more. Altcoins have some risk which is why I don't like Altcoins very much.  I think Bitcoin is the safest. Investing in Bitcoin is a risk free investment and there is very little chance of losing money. Investing in Altcoins has a high risk of half loss and some times there is a chance of a lot of profit.

I didn't find the altcoin of your choice except MIM (Magic Internet Money). If the coin you mean still has low volume in daily trading activities and the altcoin of your choice has no potential then avoid those two coins unless you are ready for high risks.

You must be optimistic about the choice of bitcoin and not allocate investment funds to the altcoin choices above because you ignore the analysis of top coins and choose coins that are not recommended for investment and trading. Prioritize investing in bitcoin as a safe investment compared to altcoins, bitcoin has achieved an increase of 100%+ from the lowest price but altcoins cannot maintain a price increase of up to 100% unless the altcoin trend is increasing and there is no guarantee that you will get a profit if you hold altcoins in the long term.

I'm not so sure about those altcoins brought up by OP. For me, I also like to stick with Bitcoin since I'm confident in it.  But hey, if you wanna give some altcoins a shot, just be careful and  altcoins can really burn you sometimes.  They don't have the best track record of success. 

Rather than just buying certain altcoins and holding, I’m rebalancing my portfolio to get the most out of those altcoins that are currently fluctuating and then reinvesting the profits as well. This is giving me a higher return rate than even bitcoin.

It's funny that people believe the gap in the dominance of Bitcoin on altcoins is "winding down". I guess they get deceived by the social media hype and all whatnot. When you look at the numbers you'll find out that Bitcoin is giving altcoins more gap by the day.
Very few altcoins have managed to remain in the conversation for a very long time, a lot of the rest just get launched and never really amount to anything. Their market cap doesn't increase.

I saw some pro altcoin people on X talking about why you shouldn't buy Bitcoin and buy their coin instead. I just laughed and felt sorry for people who will fall for those scams.
The bull run is very well anticipated and it's all dependent on Bitcoin. If Bitcoin isn't bullish no other coin would be bullish.

First of all the coin that you mentioned is not yet in the market and once it is in the market it will be known how safe it is to invest. Maybe few investors will invest in the coin you mentioned but many investors have already invested in Bitcoin and continue to invest. Bitcoin is not usually compared to other coins because Bitcoin will give you as many guarantees as other coins but never as much. Investing in all other coins we always have to be in fear whether that coin is doing well in the market but investing in Bitcoin does not have this tension. Investors buy bitcoins and keep those bitcoins in wallets for a long time and wait for a good return. Investing in all the other coins in the market but investors can't be so confident is what separates Bitcoin from all the other coins.

OP you have listed many altcoin here, but the fact is many people are not interested in altcoin, they see them as investments that they can try when just like that, before you consider an investment as a good one, you must look at it's transparency and security, all these coin you mention which of them is better than Bitcoin it terms of security, which of them can withstand Bitcoin when it come to global awareness, how many people are ready to even invest in them, you see, bitcoin remains the best among all, I didn't say that you shouldn't invest, if you want to invest is your choice, in terms of reliability Bitcoin Bitcoin is the best, and also it worth knowing that the price of bitcoin controls all this coin price.

What I know is that bitcoin is the mother of all coins, all altcoins are benchmarked against the price of bitcoin, if the price of bitcoin goes up almost all altcoins go up. From here we can judge that Bitcoin is an asset of the future, so I think you need to think again if you want to invest in altcoins.

There are indeed altcoins that have a future and will last a long time, eth, maybe you can add this altcoin to your basket besides bitcoin for long term investment, apart from eth, most of its future is unclear. So if you ask what coins you should own in 2024, there are only two choices, bitcoin and ethereum.

When people talk about BTC dominance they are usually referring to it's market cap relative to altcoins and in that regard Bitcoin is doing fine. I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that it was winding down when it has in fact been increasing for the past year.

Altcoins have also performed well but that is a side effect of Bitcoin's rally. Bitcoin's momentum has been positive for altcoins. Altcoins won't disappear anytime soon because their adoption is also increasing but they won't be displacing Bitcoin either.

There is no doubt that Bitcoin has been faithfully in the market for a long time. And Bitcoin is the king of all coins, because the demand for Bitcoin is huge in the current market and its number of investors is numerous. Altcoins are numerous in the market and out of these numerous coins I have seen thousands of Altcoins disappear. And among them I will mention the names of two coins such as FTX, Luna these two Altcoin coins were in great demand in the market. But thousands of people have been robbed of their wealth and destroyed from the market. But Bitcoin has remained in the market faithfully since its inception till today, which is why Bitcoin is very trusted among investors.

Know that Bitcoin or altcoin are the same; they can be tools for you to have income in the future, actually. But when it comes to the question of sure-ball profit in the long term, the chances of you getting Bitcoin are significantly higher compared to altcoins.

Because of altcoins, the chances are higher that you won't get a profit because the risk here is also too high, especially if you choose the wrong altcoins to hold for the long term. But if you are sure about the altcoins that you will hold for the long term, you can earn more here compared to Bitcoin, and that rarely happens.

and you will be absolutely right. Alts can only bring profit over short distances since they are very dependent on news and events over time, interest in them disappears, take any meme token, they are not at their peak for long since the hype quickly passes, and Bitcoin continues its separate development despite a lot and in the long term it always brings more profit.
As for alts, I always have Ethereum in my portfolio since it has proven itself well in the market over the years.

Altcoin is defined as any cryptocurrency other than bitcoin.Example of altcoins are Litecoin,binance coin,dogecoin,ethereum etc.Altcoin cannot be compared to bitcoin because bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency in the world and the first altcoin was Litecoin forked from Bitcoin in 2011.We can get more detailed information from this link below

I know many people have invested in BTC hodling for the price to increase higher before they can sell to take profits from their investment, and whenever the price of BTC is increasing in the market other cryptocurrencies price will be increasing too which is the reason why I still prefer BTC investment than altcoins.

But is not good to make one coin your investment, you can invest huge amount of money on BTC and invest little in altcoins in case anything happen that will affect the price of BTC so that you will have hope that you will achieve something from your altcoin .

you just said that BTC can influence altcoin prices. if something happens to Bitcoin, it will affect altcoins as well.
some investors split their investments to profit from the potential upside of altcoins. but I prefer to focus more on Bitcoin and altcoins for short-term trading or investment.
maybe some prefer altcoins for some particular reason. but in terms of growth Bitcoin will be the best investment choice.

Coming from someone who choose Bitcoin over banks, I still stand my ground entrusting all I have on Bitcoin, all my fiat are exchanged to Bitcoin already and I use other means to survive, whatever I earned from my business goes for responsibilities at home.

Bitcoin is still stronger than altcoin, and don't forget that if anything negative happen to Bitcoin it will drag all Altcoins along with it, this shows that Bitcoin is the real OG, but that doesn't mean that some altcoins aren't so good, you can never go wrong with the following altcoins like....

1. SEI  2. SUI  3. Celestia. 4. Aptos  5. Metis

While some will complain that these alts have high market cap, they fail to see that they are capable of worthing more than a billion market cap, I have seen this happened, in solana and polygon, profit wise, don't underestimate Layer 1 and 2 in crypto space.

Still, make sure you focus more on Bitcoin and have some percentage on Altcoins with good fundamental and utilities.

if bitcoin will increase then it's impact can going with altcoins market it's simple, if you remembered since 2021 when btc price was all-time high 68,000$,
altcoins market was boom and i made good profit in altcoins, bitcoin is worthy comparing with altcoins,
it is always best investment for future, some altcoins have bright future but it's high volatile and can be scam in any time that is my concern in altcoins investment.

I advocate building your portfolio this way. There is no denying that bitcoin is the safest and most trusted coin on the market, but that doesn't mean we should be stubborn and think that all altcoins are trash and not worth investing in. Investing in altcoins during the bear season is really too risky, but once the bull season appears we should pay attention to altcoins because it will bring us better profits.
But as you said, we should focus mainly on bitcoin to ensure safety and should only spend a part on altcoins to look for bigger opportunities. Don't let your portfolio be filled with altcoins without bitcoin, but also don't waste the opportunity by focusing 100% on bitcoin and ignoring altcoins.

Now after more than 2 months, we are again at almost 9000 Shit tokens.
and you are right only 200 or something can be considered good and worth looking. almost all of the rest are garbage shit tokens. i checked some last pages of CMC. and noticed that some of them are actually garbages LOL.
they don't have any value, and marketcap. and a lot of them are untracked listing. coinmarketcap just listed their names. but their is no other details of them.

You are right Altcoins cannot be campared with bitcoin. they have their own uses and importance. but this is also true that all of them are cryptocurrencies too.. leave all the shit tokens aside. rest of the good altcoins have their own importance and uses which play their parts in blockchain ecosystem.

I think bitcoin is the best safe investment because bitcoin is called the father of cryptocurrency, that's why many investors invest in bitcoin to stay ricks free because they know that the possibility of scamming bitcoin is very low.

 And alt coin gives much more profit than bitcoin in a short period of time, many investors invest in alt coin and lose all their property because there are many fake alt coin available in the market, if their investment falls, they lose all their property like alt coin gives profit.  Again, losses can also be made, so if someone invests in alt coins, they should invest very carefully

Probably several altcoin (including some new altcoins) will offer better returns than bitcoin, that's for sure, and the reason is that they have a way lower marketcap compared to bitcoin. Bitcoin, in my opinion, could eventually do a 3x, maybe a 4x, more than that is difficult for the current cycle. I buying and investing in some game coins, will see how it goes.

Really?
I don't think, in the next 10 years from now, altcoin can compared To Bitcoin in any sense and for that, we have to conclude that the fact that, the cryptocurrency market is vol volatile for that, anything can happen as far as coins are concerned, so we shouldn't take that to mean that Bitcoin is losing it or is not making any controlled changed on the market at whatever time.
Secondly, Bitcoin is not in anywhere in comparison to altcoin because of Bitcoin's dominant market, and for sure, Bitcoin is going to continue to rule the market much more further than it has done before.

I am surprised that this thread is still in this section, it talks more of the gain of the altcoins although Bitcoin was mentioned and compared on how these alts move. Talking about the era of Bitcoin but this means that it's not a full discussion related to the whole thing of Bitcoin but more of the altcoins that have been mentioned and that's why it fits to the Altcoin Discussions.

I agree, the Bitcoin dominance is high and while many thinks that there have been a lot of better performers and gainers than Bitcoin. In what sense? Did you able to ride that hype and gain for you to say, in papers, it's true. But what matters is what you actually gained for your own holdings and that's what you need to settle for. In the few years time, many of these best gainers and performers from this era might just be a no brainer and forgotten project just as the early altcoins that have been known in some point of time.

No one denies the dominance of bitcoin in the market and no one says that bitcoin is not the best and safest currency on the market. But if we participate in this market and our main goal is to make the most profit, not to learn about technology, then altcoins should not be ignored. We need to accept the fact that today altcoins are giving better returns than bitcoin. And obviously high profits will come with high risks, so if someone likes safety, bitcoin is the choice. But if someone likes to take risks to earn bigger rewards then altcoins should not be overlooked.

Exactly, some altcoins offer greater returns than bitcoin, however, I feel that people will choose altcoins especially new altcoins as investments but not in large amounts, because it is very risky. On the other hand, bitcoin, which until now we call the king of crypto, has a better offer than altcoins if invested in large amounts with less risk. However, bitcoin and altcoins have their respective advantages and disadvantages, however, bitcoin plays an important role in the price movements of altcoins.

Cryptocurrency trading takes place 24 hours a day. We can gain more profits from our digital asset portfolio by choosing investments anywhere and most importantly, our net profit in the end. Despite the fact that there are new coins listed on exchanges and they seem to have potential, I think it is safer to stay in BTC because besides being able to accumulate when it goes down, long-term holding will give us good profits. .

Even if we trade, we are always required to be patient, waiting for setbacks or corrections will always be a good decision so that our trading is safer and for the difference in profits generated, the only difference is who is the first to make a purchase in a new coin and is the winner.

Furthermore, the majority of altcoins are performing rather well; their only drawback is that, as we all know, they are dependent on bitcoin, so any negative developments for bitcoin will also have an impact on the other altcoins. Additionally, the coins you named are performing well for themselves in the market and have even somewhat taken over the market. In particular. Furthermore, I have no doubt that some people are profiting from altcoins. And my opinion majority of people that invest in altcoins is because of the money not everyone can afford bitcoin. So and that is why they have give other altcoins but it is still better to do your research.

Bitcoin acts as a catalyst for altcoins, and individuals are massively investing in crypto in both altcoins and bitcoin. individuals who cannot afford bitcoin will go for altcoins. And holding is for profit, and people are willing to hold any loan for the sake of profit. And there will be instances when bitcoin will rise while other altcoins will fall, and this is due to personal preference, as well as individuals looking at the quality and amount of profit it will generate. However, some people may not perform adequate research before investing their money.

Everyone wants to invest in bitcoin, but money can be an issue. And because everyone has a budget, the best thing you can do is make a sound financial decision for yourself.

For me, there shouldn't be a clashing or a problem that involves choosing which one should be more favored because I do believe that anyone can utilize them both. Bitcoin can be a go-to investment if you want a steady but surefire profit investment, the only thing that you need to consistently do is to be patient and accumulate as you're hodling bitcoin, that's going to make you get more profit as time goes on since you're increasing what you're hodling. Altcoins are a really good alternative for if you've already taken a profit in bitcoin and you want to do some little diversification, you can use altcoin to do just that but the problem is that there's about 99% shitcoins out there that's going to promise you profit but will do a rugpull when there's a lot of gullible people that have invested in their shitcoin so it's not for beginners in crypto because you're going to need an extensive research about all the altcoins that you're considering to invest your bitcoin profit in it.

No one has called bitcoin that before, what are you talking about? It's actually weird to say it or even think that bitcoin's a father.

The main point is that bitcoin is low risk HODL coin, compared to those altcoins which are high risk high reward. Me personally, I hold mostly btc, but sometimes I like to gamble with altcoins, that I like :).

I think we are past with that time already about learning or not learning about the technology. Most of the people that are diving on this and altcoins market are the same, everybody is for the profit regardless of what coin they want to have. While our main goal is to maximize our potential profits on this market, one thing that we have to remember is to be patient at all times. I've learned that lesson the hard and expensive way.

That's true that many alts are giving better returns but they're unstable. It is going to be one point of time that they're profitable but it won't be repeated. If it's repeated, this only happens for some of the altcoins out there and they're like ETH. Choosing bitcoin is having two things, having high potential profit but it comes with risk and the amount of it depends on you if it's going to be that much or not based on how you take it.

But typically, choosing bitcoin as your choice is always the best thing that you can ever have. It's not going give you any regret unless you sell at the wrong time.

Altcoins should not be compared to Bitcoin in any way. Because only Bitcoin is the best for holding. If you are looking for long term profit then you should definitely hold bitcoin. And if you think to trade for a short time then you can take altcoins. However, trading with altcoins is more likely to result in losses. You must acquire a lot of experience and skills to trade with Altcoins.

Altcoins can never be compared with Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is very popular coin. If you hold Bitcoin for a long time, you can get huge profit from Bitcoin. But if you want to invest or trade Altcoins, you have to take a lot of risk. I think Altcoins  It is much better to invest bitcoins and keep them than to make money at risk.

Of course bitcoin is never compared to altcoin. Altcoin is a kind of sheet coin which has no guaranteed future but Bitcoin has a guaranteed future and Bitcoin will be the first crypto coin which is known to everyone on the other hand there are thousands of Altcoins in the market and Bitcoin alone is not an alternative. So anyone who wants to compare bitcoin with altcoin I would say he doesn't have a good idea about cryptocurrency and he doesn't know about bitcoin well about the history of bitcoin. That's why he made such a comment
