Bitcoin Forum

Hye, please don't think it is an investment advice, but as a short term trader, I am just asking from you based on your own market research that as whenever BTC flies to moon, Altcoins dump. So based on your speculation in the current market scenario in which Altcoin we should trade ? for good profits ? LTC, BCH, BSV or whatever you think could be the best in usdt market ?

God for ETH,LTC and other top coins excluding those BCASH shit coin and other Bitcoin forked coins.If you do think for short term then scalping BTC itself would already be enough.

BTC can already give you good profits in short-term trading. but if you still have money to spare, go for eth. bcash? be very careful with this altcoin...

I agree for bitcoin give profits for short term a lot of indication bitcoin will rise shortly in this year, but sorry my choice for long term hold is ethereum and ripple, Bcash is also habpve potential but isn't my major choice.

It's always sure to choose bitcoin over ltc, and holding it is worth as investment over long period of time since 2018. With ltc, I might use it as my potential passive income to be used as alternate investments aside from bitcoin, but only for small amount of asset.

I prefer to choose short trade in eth, ltc, eos, xrp and also stellar. Most of them give me profit in short trade for 3 weeks, but it can be changed depend on market situation. Please remember, always do deep analysis before you open position

I think in short-term we should hold Bitcoin because Bitcoin will "go to the moon" soon, at least in the end of 2019 and in August - the best time to buy and hold Bitcoin. In addition, as we know, LTC will be halvening on August 6, 2019 and as past halving times before, LTC increased sharply. I hope LTC will increase in the end of 2019 and I am holding LTC.  ;D ;D

For me, BTC is still quite potential if you buy it now and my target in September has been take profit. But because there is a good opportunity in this August, then I will try to buy both, of course halving ltc is enough to affect the price later.

And on the other hand I still hold BTC until next month maybe, I'm sure BTC will also increase again. I am still waiting to see if BTC will breakout or bounce back within the next week. Because the BTC is now in a resistant area.

For LTC : https://www.newsbtc.com/2019/08/03/as-litecoin-halving-nears-analysts-fear-bearish-ltc-scenario-unfolding/

It's obvious that bitcoin is still the key so I would say that either short or long term, it is still the best crypto to invest for. LTC though has its block halving next year, that's why it will also be a safe bet to accumulate prior to the halving and see how it goes. BCH or BSV? Unless you know how to ride the waves and take short term profit then you might want to give it a try.

if you are a "short term trader" then big altcoins right now are not good options at all because they are not making any kind of move whatsoever and if they do, it will be in a downtrend not up.
what you should look into is smaller coins that the pumpers are pumping on a daily basis or stay away from the altcoin market altogether and stick to accumulating bitcoin while it is in accumulation phase with a stable price near $10k.

as examples: among medium size altcoins, ZEN and NRG with 50% pumps and among smaller coins: TRXC with 5000% pump, IPSX, XSD, XSD with 300% pumps in the past 24 hours.

I would choose BTC but would also go with other cryptocurrencies since not all of the time BTC can give you profit.

ETH, LTC can give you profits but I think if you like a trader or an investor in the short term. Usually, these cryptos change and if you are not wary of it, you will quickly give you losses. Bitcoin does changes quickly but it usually goes up and better in your hands in a longer period than in a shorter one.

Buy both, but prioritize BTC over the rest of your alts. Let's say, 80% of your portfolio must be BTC, while the rest can be diversified to several alts, and a very small part of your money should go to very speculative new coins/tokens that have some potential. For example, alts like LTO, Elrond, Harmony and something similar are hyped a lot in a lot of channels so you should get some of them and plan your exit strategy carefully.

BTC or LTC? It's an easy decision, the OP should go with BTC, as for what alt coins, just look at the top 5 coins and I'm sure you will see which one. There's no better altcoins right now than ETH though, I'm sure if will many was written it off, because of the so called BNB competition. You just need a lot of patience, I think not going for short will be the best idea, in my opinion.

My opinion is that all the coins from the top rating are worthy of attention and investment in them. The profitability of each of them is difficult to predict, but if you invest in different coins with the best capitalization, then you will diversify the risks. If the market goes up, you will profit in any case, and if not, then no matter what you invest in, you will either not make a profit or lose money.

Keep an eye on Litecoin definitely as the next couple of days the price difference will either increase or decrease although I predict a decrease in price since the community have a habbit of selling the news while buy-in on the rumors. The decrease in price will present a buying opportunity in preparation for the next bitcoin run. Since only selective few coins usually profit from bitcoin price increase and Litecoin is one of those beneficiaries, the decline will be a great buyin opportunity. Also the halving event have have it's effect on price increasing (long term).

Bitcoin and LTC, both are still profitable for midterm / longterm trades. Im personally not really a fan of bch and bsv, so my suggestion is BTC, Litecoin is still more volatile than bitcoin so.... it could be good when the price increase but its bad when the price goes down. Just put a decent amount of money in btc, not all. Do some cost average when the price goes down again.

Good luck.

BTC as your main. No need for any advice here.

LTC as your side.

No need to put all eggs on a single basket. Just fill up more your BTC basket compare with the LTC.

For what's the reason, it's obvious.

if you want to take advantage of the moment of altcoin, you have to wait for the right time for altcoin to go to the moon, and the right time is when BTC is sideways.
holding altcoin is difficult, but it's easy if we understand the pattern.
It will be safe if you want to avoid BTC correction when going up or down.
LTC, BCH and ETH are very good choices.

Litecoin is a good investment but the bear market has made this coin not get the best growth during the past time. Now Litecoin is making a very good comeback in the last 2 months and the investment in this coin will certainly bring a lot of profit in the near future if the value of Bitcoin can be stable at $12,000. I have personally held many LTC the bear market and will continue to hold until the LTC reaches $200 by the end of this year.

If you are short term trader and if you think you wanted to make the profit when ever the market rises and you do not have that much amount to invest into bitcoin, the coins i would opt for are ETH, BCH and BSV is not bad either because of the small valuation in the market and for the profits as these coins usually used to move higher when ever the price of bitcoin starts moving up, but if you are looking for the best investment no one can topple bitcoin.

By doing a short term trader, I think you will find so many potential coins on the market, and you can choose one or more coins to trade. It doesn't stop for just btc, ltc, eth, but it's more than that, and you should search for yourself. It is hard to give a suggestion as we will see that the situation will always change and that will not base on one day only. That is why you should have skills to analyze movements from the coins so you can find the right coins to trade.

I think you should be very careful with Litecoin, because many people invested on it for the halving, but now it has occurred they will sell their bags to buy btc in the perspective of its own halving (or some other so-called "promising" cryptos).

Since your title specifically asks about BTC and LTC, and you ask about short-term trading my answer as many others is to invest in BTC. If you ask why, just watch the price of LTC this year, and that recent halving (LTC) that happens one day ago had almost no effect of this coin price. So short-term investing in altcoins is no longer something you should do for quick profits.

On the other hand, Bitcoin is in recent months show price range from $3000 to $14000, and for any trader who know basic in trading this was ( and still is) easy&quick money.

I would personally avoid to invest in Bitcoin forks (BCH&BSV) because they have a rather bad reputation in the crypto community, same as people who stand behind them. If you want to hunt altcoins which can bring you the fastest and highest profits you will need to make some research - and for start visit this link : https://coinmarketcap.com/gainers-losers/

Litecoin use to be a very good investment, but ever since they lost their value to the last bear market that all cryptocurrencies list their value to, it has been difficult for them to make a comeback like some few other coins too and I think Litecoin and some few top coins are only where they are now because of the dominance of bitcoin, I am waiting for the period where all these altcoins will make a dominance of their own without having to rely much in bitcoin for their growth of value.

That makes me think that at the moment, there is no pint wasting time trading altcoins, to me, it is still better for people to trade bitcoin because that is where all the happenings are really, the volume, trades and other things that will make one profitable in one’s trade.

LTC has got a great chance of getting  pumped at least 2 times even when BTC is rising because LTC has its halving in place on the table. Other than that, I'm not comfortable in investing into other alts because chances of fiery drops are there in each and I don't see it being smart in taking risks in current crypto environment.

On what halving you think? LTC halving was few days ago and there is no change in price up or down. Altcoins are bad choice one way or another, they almost have no purpose except pump&dump which is mainly filling their owners' pockets.

Try to read previous posts sometimes, otherwise you can give completely wrong advice to others <<LTC Halving - 0 Effect on price>>

I still believe Bitcoin is a great choice. Although its price is always adjusted and makes a lot of people buy at high prices, if you hold for a long time, it will definitely bring high profit.
Alts are not noticed at the present time, hold it is one of the bad ideas.

I don't think this is right. Bitcoin is very good for short-term investment (trading) while Litecoin is very good for long-term investment, very profitable if we are able to take advantage of changes in the price of Bitcoin every day with daily trading  ;D

If in my opinion holding altcoin for now is not a bad idea because now altcoin prices are still said to be low prices so there is still a chance if altcoin makes a big pump to follow bitcoin above

I think litecoin is not something you replace bitcoin with, it is something you supplement bitcoin with.

Litecoin is literally the lite version of bitcoin hence the name, we are using litecoin to test the superior formats like segwit for example, we used it on litecoin first and it worked so we moved it to bitcoin as well, same with everything we want to improve on bitcoin. That is why there is no bitcoin OR litecoin in any scenario, it makes no sense, it is always bitcoin AND litecoin, they can work hand in hand, if you want to "trade" any of them just do it in moderate for litecoin and more for bitcoin but try to have both on your portfolio because litecoin is always an earner as well, it may lost it is spot a few times but it will never be a useless coin for sure.

I'm not very active following the development of the bitcoin system, and after reading your opinion, I think the LTC and BTC questions so far only show that the person doesn't understand the bitcoin and ltc systems running,
but if I may ask, will every bitcoin development be trialled in Litecoin first?

For short term trading? I think all of them are good to invest since the volume of these coins in the exchanges are high therefore, the price of them are moving all the time. It is only a matter of when do you invest into these coins. For the long term, I think Bitcoin is better and LTC has focused on marketing and not on the development side anymore.

Timing needs to be done correctly, bitcoin have a higher community supports where you can both do short and long term trades, you need to focus with every situations that can affects the movement of bitcoin, fuds and fomos being part of the cycle learning how to use both of this situation will give you a  good edge to earned from your invested money, while inside the alts community where most of them are trying to duplicate what btc already achieved they are more on marketing and trying to have a good attractions from investors views.

I will not advise you to flip bitcoin to any coins now because it is few of them that can give you return than bitcoin in the short term. Before when bitcoin is pumping we do see other coins pumping too and vice-versa but now things have changed and we are having almost 90% of the funds that come outside cryptocurrency into Bitcoin. Bitcoin dominant against other coins has also increased and it is very clear that this dominant is going to last very long. If I will buy any coin now I will only buy mb8.

That is totally right, we need to also make altcoins investment, but we have to make our portfolio ore of bitcoin because if every other coin fails us, it is only bitcoin that will be there for us come rain come sun shine. We have a lot of altcoins in the market that are only good to be held for short term purpose, so when making investment in altcoins, you have to first decide if you are in the investment for a short term trade or for long term trade.

Sure, some altcoins will pump in the next bull run for altcoins after bitcoin has finished dominating the market and consolidating, but the altcoins that will rise would be alts within the top 50 in the coinmarketcap, so out investment should be on top 50 coins.

Agree with his opinion but I prefer the famous Atlcoin listed on coinmarketcap from the order of fifteen to number two because it looks very active if you see the top fifty atlcoin is too much to choose so it requires selection in advance for eligibility

I prefer bitcoin for the short term but litecoin is also not a bad choice,and I believe buying ltc for now is also a good choice but not for the short term but for the next few months maybe it will provide enough profit.

Making short term and even long term trade with altcoins is a dangerous thing, I would recommend that you make short term trade with BTC-USDT. You will have higher profits by trading BTC-USDT and you will have less risk of losing money.

look at today for example:

The bitcoin price has reached $12000 and dropped to $11500 so people who are trading BTC-USDT are making decent profits.

For now,just focus more on bitcoin because it will give you a sure profit at the end of the day.And when you have gained profits from bitcoin,you may try investing into some good altcoins too which you think will surely grow in time.It's good to diversify your investments as long as you come up with potential coins too.

Just in case buy both of them is good because it's quite potential to get short term profit from them that bitcoin and LTC are possibly increase in the next several days or if you dare take BNB too as your portfolio that last time this coin being pumped more than 10% but this is only an advice from me and it can be missed depend on market of movement

if in my opinion a coin that passes for investment is a BNB coin, a BNB coin is a very good coin and the level of movement is very extraordinary

bitcoin remains the mainstay. but I think altcoin litecoin is still one of the most potential coins. now all that's left is to just choose bitcoin or litecoin, it's a natural thing to count

litecoin halving is over and the price did not move
bitcoin in fact the one that move, i think bitcoin has better chance to rise

Altcoins these days are nuke. they keeps going down without any sign of live. bitcoin remains the best bet for investment but it could be catastrophic when bitcoin dominates over 80% of the market. I don;t think it is a proper to see bitcoin dominate so high.

Always diversify your investment but of course btc as the main or top coin to invest. Good to invest also in other altcoins that also top in the market with ltc it takes time to increase.

I think it is best if I still hold the bitcoin, but the other coins are very good but must also look at the development of bitcoin, they can decide the direction. Therefore, keeping bitcoin is always a wise decision

Btc is on the moon .We are still watching bullish momentum on altcoins .It always better to invest on btc but you need to have proper entry .On the other hand i always suggest to buy any top altcoin  and hold until the price you need to sell .So invest wisely .I thing BCH should be a good choice .

Binance coin is hitting big in the market, I have seen it hit 5% when all the coins including Bitcoin going down 1 to 8% and it were for three straight days, I don't know why the title of your post is about Bitcoin or Litecoin when obviously Bitcoin has a huge gap over Litecoin.

Ok Litecoin just had halving but it will hardly have an impact on its price, maybe in the future, for short term go for Binance and Tron but Bitcoin and Ethereum always deliver whether short term or long term I'm pretty sure you already have this two.

Using bitcoin as the main investment will be a great idea because bitcoin is the leader of the cryptocurrency so bitcoin will give us a big profit in the long term. But litecoin as the altcoin can give another profit in bitcoin or fiat too, and if litecoin can increase in this month or the next month, then we will have a chance to make the profit. But so far, litecoin still at a low price and not move too high so maybe we need to wait for a while, and we have another altcoin that we can use it too to make the profit.

Personally, I choose Litecoin any time of the day (even at night)

It is famous for its brutal price action, probably the most brutal among all major altcoins as you can often see price swings on the order of dozen percentages within just a day or two (sometimes even a few dozens, in both directions). So if you are looking at it as a short-term trader, Litecoin is definitely a preferred choice irrespective on which side of the trade you are on. You can short it as well as go long and you won't be disappointed with its price action

Both! I`m in crypto for a long time, and I choose both! Why to choose between this two coins when both are very good, which one is better we all know, bitcoin of course, but litecoin is the second place, right behind bitcoin, for me that will be forever. I trade with bitcoin and litecoin, with bitcoin much more, with litecoin I choose mid term trading cause ltc is making swings but it takes time to drop and rise, at least I wait for it longer so I can have higher profit.

Litecoin is good though for investment because it is still very cheap and still falls among the top coins in the industry, but for real use case, I dint see anything that Litecoin does that is not already built in bitcoin, majority of these other coins only have extract of bitcoin and then built on a portion of it, if I am holding bitcoin already, I would not really see any much reason to hold on too tight to coins like Litecoin except maybe for the purpose of diversification though.

We cannot judge these projects alone by their current status, no one know their tomorrow, we just have to have little faith in them like investors of 2010 had little faith in bitcoin. So, my holding in Litecoin now is juts for future sake so that I don’t miss out in case, but bitcoin is the major coin that is very paramount to me.

Though market is too much volatile you can choose top ten coins from CMC that always trade in market. If yo choose a shit coin from market it my not trade in next 6 months so that you may face a great lose. So better is choose top ten coins from CMC that always you will see graph on market.

Thanks.

Anyone, Know about the attack chain of Litecoin?

I see at facebook, forget about which group i see they share to there Litecoin got a chain attack on the chain. It's that really valid news or just a rumor fud.

You seem to have gotten it wrong

What really happened was a so-called dusting attack, i.e. someone sending small amounts of lites (in this case it was 0.00000546 LTC) to some wallets (probably with a rich transactional history). The purpose of the attack is not to compromise the blockchain itself (like what the 51% attack is supposed to do) but rather track down certain users and their transactional activity on the blockchain. I don't know how it is meant to work in practice, so anyone more knowledgeable is welcome to chime in on this matter

If you only have a dust of amount of Bitcoin, then short term is not a good idea. Just imagine getting $1 from your $1000 capital, with huge chance of loss is almost $50. That thing is not worth to risk, would rather to throw away your money into altcoin which is volatile compared to Bitcoin this time.

Why would someone have to trade in a losing state? It's worth trading if you know what you are doing but looking at the situation of the market it seems not it is not good to do short term for a moment since the market is on a stable state. Switching from altcoins might be the best way but you have to know which coins you have to trade.

I think all major cryptocurrencies should be in your portfolio. Yes, Bitcoin is definitely a leader and it should be the most. I would give the second place to Ethereum, and then you can buy the remaining highly capitalized cryptocurrencies in equal parts. In any case, a diversified portfolio is a sign of a competent investment strategy.

I'm not sure I understand what you refer to here

Okay, you have a capital of 1000 dollars, and what exactly prevents you from successfully trading this capital with Bitcoin? How could you lose 50 dollars with Bitcoin and not lose it with some altcoin? Somehow, I have a feeling that you are actually talking about gambling, not trading. Apart from that, Bitcoin has recently shown quite a good amount of volatility on par with or even exceeding major altcoins. But perhaps I'm just missing something and you would like to expand on your thought a little further

now is still a good time to buy Bitcoin. Its value has always increased in the past days because investors now pay attention only to Bitcoin.
even Bitcoin increased by 20%, the alts only increased by a few percent. That is the current situation. We should try luck with bitcoin instead of investing in alts.

I think you should choose bitcoin. Bitcoin is primary cryptocurrency or called mother cryptocurrency. Usually Bitcoin up rapidly and altcoin dump, Bitcoin dump rapidly and altcoin dump too. Altcoin up if BTC in sideways.

Why do I have to choose if I can invest on both? But if it's really necessary to choose, I would always choose BTC over LTC.
BTC remains to be the most dominant crypto in the market, LTC is an old cryptocurrency as well but it's not as good as BTC, and LTC will soon be surpass by new altcoins in the market but BTC will always remain the number 1.

Pick on BTC, ETH for mid and long term investment and maybe you can pick BNB for short and mid trading activity. I usually pick top coinmarketcap coins or maybe coins that still have affect on crypto community. BNB still really used to join Binance IEO and it will always have demand.

We can really choose bitcoin over other altcoins as this is the main crypto. Were investors focus on bitcoin than other altcoin. No doubt bitcoin is the main crypto as the current price has a slowly growth.

I don't understand why you need to convert BTC to LTC with better profits? It doesn't make sense at all. Yes, you can have both coins in portfolio, preferably, majority should be in BTC. If you are not a trader then buy in every dip and take that opportunity to accumulate. And just have LTC as the side as your plan B investment.

I think that he wants to make another profit, so he decides to convert his BTC to LTC. But that could work as we know that litecoin still not increase very high and even, right now, litecoin has decreased too deep. I think by converting his bitcoin to litecoin, he will have a chance to get profit from litecoin when the price increase someday. But that doesn't mean it will happening in the short time because all of the coins will wait for bitcoin step and if bitcoin can increase so high, then I think the altcoin will follow too. That will be great if he can use litecoin as the plan B investment and still use bitcoin as the A investment.

Don't rely on altcoin if you want to earn good on this current situation of market ,because bitcoin is the only one crypto on this kind of market that can give you good return despite of everything .which is because of being so volatile than other coins..  But of course put more money ,so that you can get good return on it as well even in short term.  Altcoin is uncertain remember that mate.

The only Bitcoin fork that I accept is LTC, because it has become an independent project with its own history and large community. Moreover, it is well suited for trading due to large trading volumes and wide distribution and listing on all major exchanges. Litecoin is growing and developing, but I think that it can never replace Bitcoin and become stronger than Bitcoin.

even though there is a lot of FUD about bitcoin right now, even if you read the news, then FUD about bitcoin is more dominant than the benefits. but, I still prefer bitcoin over LTC, BCH, ETH, and others.

this is based on the development of the BTC in early 2019. the development that occurs in BTC is even more than 100%. to be honest, I also hope that altcoin like LTC, and ETH, only so far the potential of bitcoin is far greater than the development of the two coins.

so, between BTC, and LTC, or another altcoin, having BTC is my priority right now. Well, I also do research, and predictions every month, and if I have a lot of bitcoin, it will certainly benefit.

I can also add another indisputable advantage that Litecoin offers

For example, when Bitcoin fees had skyrocketed along with its price in late 2017, Litecoin became extremely popular and immensely instrumental for moving wealth to and from exchanges as you didn't have to pay exorbitant fees like 50 dollars per transaction if you had to work with Bitcoin itself. Instead, you could simply use Litecoin as Bitcoin's proxy by hedging the former against the latter. That basically allowed you to trade Litecoin as if you were in fact trading Bitcoin but without having to pay massive fees if you had to move your funds around


Yeah, that's my point exactly. But you don't have to convert to Litecoin when you want to withdraw as you can safely trade Litecoin instead of Bitcoin in the way described above without having to incur the losses due to such conversions

This year of altcoins is only good for accumulation and I think many people should only take advantage of this year of altcoins to gather  so much potential altcoins against other years that altcoins will become profitable, but for this year, many people can all see that this year is  the year of bitcoin, and it’s had enough volatility for anyone to be able to make as much as they can.

This period that bitcoin started its horse raise, many people has make at east 10x of their investment, that is for those who are into short term trade, because they have entered and exited the market several times, and each of those times that they enter the market to buy low and sell high as really been a profitable one for them.

With the three options mentioned above, I choose to invest in bitcoin above them because bitcoin has a high possibility to give better profit than others. It can record over $500 - $1,000 in a day whereas Litecoin and others hardly go above $100 profit in a day.

Yes it's true that when btc rise up altcoin dump. And it's happen because of btc popularity. No matter which altcoin you talk about it's not much popular than btc. That's why people eyes on btc when it's rise again. But if want chose some altcoin then BNB is perfect for that i think. We all talk about ETH, LTC or BCH but my opinion BNB have great future than those coins. And that moment not so far when BNB will be on of the top 3 altcoin in CMC.

We can still gain profits from a long term or short trade investments with BTC. As you can see, from my experienced bitcoin and ethereum are the main stars of the cryptocurrency. Hence, if you want other altcoins for short term investments, LTC and BNB can be a good choice and oh IOST, XRP, too.

Just choose altcoins that have a solid foundation, usually those altcoins might follow bitcoin steps.

Bitcoin is still the best coin for trading, the volatility that is measured in thousands of dollars up or down, what other coins can be so profitable like Bitcoin is? You can`t find them! Short term or long term, Bitcoin is the best, it always bounces back after drop, when it rises enough there will be a new drop again.
Take a look at charts, if you can find any other coin that can be compared with Bitcoin let me know.

Of course, I will have no way to oppose your opinion when it is too reasonable and too much evidence, Bitcoin is always known as something that is too good and sustainable, even if we choose long term or short term, it can always be suitable, very few altcoin is comparable to bitcoin. But this market as the weather every day, bitcoin will have different emotions, it is not always the best, sometimes it can still be very bad and it takes a long time to stabilize emotions, so we should be able to make other choices, not just one, Litecoin is not so bad, it also has a strong time, it will not have a binding feeling

Litecoin halving happening May in 2020 so if your asking for daytrading or short term trading I think there’s some risk buying this one.
While in Bitcoin (as you can see the market dominance are increasing year after year)you have more positive outcome ,but you know the drill mate about the volatile market so whatever good the movement is,chances are may fall the next hour .org days
But definitely not BCH buddy because Roger Ver May take your money  lol

I think you want to say it's bitcoin, and not litecoin because litecoin is already halving ;D

Litecoin could be good for trading this year, but the up and down of the price is not too significant, so I guess that you could still make a profit. You have another option coins to trade, and if I can say, you can choose more than 10 potential coins, but you need to analyze one by one. Maybe we can suggest the coin, but it will not work too for other people because we use a different method in analyzing.

Could you explain what you mean by "Litecoin and others hardly go above $100 profit in a day"?

It is kinda easy to understand what you mean by Bitcoin "recording over $500 - $1,000 in a day", which seems to refer to daily price swings (i.e. volatility). But to correctly compare volatility of different coins with very different price tags (like Bitcoin at 10k and Litecoin at 70), you should use relative volatility (read, percentages) and not its absolute value (in dollars per coin). Otherwise, direct comparisons don't make any sense. And if you analyze Bitcoin's volatility versus the volatility of top altcoins, it is unlikely that Bitcoin is more volatile than the rest of the pack. But your daily profits (or losses, for that matter) depend on it

I will still choose Litecoin. But a better strategy is to buy Bitcoin now, wait for it to raise prices and alts to lower prices, then trade to earn more LTC.
Because alts' seasons will come soon, we need to be more patient. When the hype has reached its limit, it will explode and spread to the surrounding coins. ;)

true, Bitcoin is the best coin, very convenient as a long-term or short-term investment even in the current uncertain market.

for Litecoin.. in my opinion, is very suitable for long-term investment, not good enough to be used as a short-term investment.

I am not sure that anyone will be arguing that at all with everything most people have seen in the market on the development of bitcoin and there isn't much point to even be comparing them both, bitcoin will always reign ahead of them in everything but we need to also fully understand that there are sometimes that altcoins too could be extremely profitable.

One thing that I do notice about altcoins is that if they want to increase, they can really increase far more than what bitcoin can even get to at once, but they are not always sustained, their increase is very seasonal unlike bitcoin that could go low and high severally within a very short space of time, so investment in both of them would really be the wisest choice for people to make.

Whatever you do short-term trading or long-term trading the point is would you only buy coins? Tbh, if you really want to do trading then you can trade on any coin whatever its LTC or BTC. I think altcoins are also good for trading they are in a down trend just keep on selling them, you need profits no matter where it comes from buying or selling.

Better to choose Bitcoin if you want to insured your capital. Bitcoin is the very best among all and its better for day time trading and long term trading but long term trading need much time. I can also suggest altcoin which is belong in the top 100 because it has a huge potential to earn big profits from it than a top 2-10 in CMC.

Bitcoin gives an assurance on the capital investment, because it has proved with its growth crossing several hurdles. Moreover the bitcoin futures that is scheduled for September adds more value to bitcoin than other cryptocurrencies. Litecoin as an altcoin follows the same platform of bitcoin. This made it to be more popular than most other altcoins. This way bitcoin is always the better choice.

When we think of Litecoin, it has got a good team that keeps updating to the necessity of the market. Earlier when Litecoin went close to $300 the team was so happy with the growth, and stated it isn't expected. Litecoin as an altcoin gives good growth on long term. Possibly following the growth of bitcoin crossing the previous ath we can expect a new ath with Litecoin.

If altcoins in general have been showing a poor performance against bitcoin why are you even considering investing in them? As a trader you need to follow the asset or assets that are presenting the biggest volatility so you can profit from their movements and in this market there is no doubt that the best investment is bitcoin, forget about altcoins for the time being and only give your attention to them once it is clear we are in an altcoin season.

Litecoin is a great cryptocurrency and it have promising potential, but I prefer to keep holding BTC right now because it is the safest coin and the most profitable. I am investing fiat in altcoins as well, like Litecoin and Ethereum and NEO which are the best altcoins for short term trading in my opinion.

from the two coins, I think the development is almost the same, it's just that the potential is different. In terms of price, I read the price prediction for today, where there is a possibility that the price of bitcoin will rise, and it can approach the price of $ 15,000, but if the price decreases it may be able to touch the price of $ 9,000 again.

while for LTC, if the price goes up, there is a possibility the price can approach $ 94, while for the decline it can reach $ 58.

in my opinion, for the near future, the price of these two coins will remain stable like this, or the price decrease or increase will not be so far away. so, I think if looking at the price for a large asset, I might choose bitcoin, while for a small asset, I choose LTC. well maybe this article can help you

I think both are suitable to be used as a long-term investment, because LTC is also a good coin but people prefer to save BTC because Bitcoin is a very powerful Cryptocurrency and a popular Crypto compared than other altcoins.

I would really choose Bitcoin over Litecoin right now.

Bitcoin is making good movements in the past months and I don't think that it would be spoiled this month, maybe it will continue on making a good rise in the upcoming months. Litecoin in the other hand is still on that side where it is not making good movements but having a quite stable price change. If you want to risk your money, I will go with Bitcoin.

There is a catch, though

As it almost always turns out, whenever you start buying a highly hyped and pumped asset (whether it be Bitcoin or Litecoin, or whatever), you typically end up buying it at its peak price (or quite close to it). On the other hand, it is buying at or near the bottom that makes people rich in due course (provided they are patient enough and can wait through hard times). But there's another catch to watch for. Not every asset at its bottom is worth buying as it may just be at the end of its life cycle without any hope ahead. The good news is that Litecoin is not one of such assets

Op heading mislead some response that many has given here! I think he is asked of bitcoin cash, litecoin and ethereum, the best one to hedge against usdt. He is thinking according to my on judgment that "bitcoin has gone to far and as such there is no much profits in hedging or trading it against usdt but you can still trade bitcoin cash or litecoin against and makes good profits". I will prefer to trading litecoin/usdt than with bitcoin cash!...

I would choose bitcoin any day, I think most of the crypto users would prefer Bitcoin. LTC is one of the best cryptos but overcoming Bitcoin isn't easy. I think LTC has competition with Ethereum. And Bitcoin is far far better than LTC/ETH. So, for trading, I would prefer Bitcoin any day anytime and I don't think I have to mention why I admire bitcoin most. I just want to state, Bitcoin is the only crypto which is fortunate for me and gives me a massive amount of profit.

I respect more and suggest going to ltc, because right now if you think ltc has the most potential coins. and it can be used as one of the potential altcoin choices. so maybe this you can choose for trading or investment

Bitcoin has become the main choice for trading and also for long-term holding and we cannot escape it. But when we have lots of choices for coins to trade, then there are many and varied choices, but for ltc I don't don't think it's the right choice for day trading because I prefer ethereum and about BCH might be an option.

LTC was lost to me when its creator sold everything. He knew what to do and sold when it was high and his announcement made the price fall even more.

BCH and BSV are both complete shitcoins with unpopular idiots at the wheel. Someone who thinks SV will pump because CSW is Satoshi he has to be a real moron. Thinking that BCH is better than Bitcoin and will overtake it is also stupid. I really don't know which one is worse.

You are saying this because you are probably trying to be sentimental about it because of your investment in Litecoin that you are trying to protect, many of us knows how Litecoin has failed many of its investors, they are already lacking the vision and I though their claim was that they are alternative of bitcoin, at least Litecoin still had some hypes before the bear market.

If they had functioned very well and satisfied those that were with them then, I am sure that by now, tings would have turned around for their market, but for over how may years now, I have not really seen much development from Litecoin other than the recently concluded haling which was nothing but just a shadow of themselves, so my brother, there is absolutely no way you should compared both.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are the most popular coins in the crypto market. Litecoin is also the most popular coin, as its transactions take lesser time and are safer as compared to Bitcoin.

Litecoin offers lowered transaction fees, making it a more economical choice for transactions. The progress of Litcoin over Bitcoin can be seen directly from the ltc to btc (https://coinswitch.co/coins/litecoin/litecoin-to-bitcoin)graph.
