The altcoin markets has been favorable to few but not all. it is presumed that the early and private investors rake out big cash on New and old altcoin projects leaving many projects at the mercy of the cryptomarkets for survived.  Although Most altcoins that has gone down below ROI to the verge of disappearing from the market are increasing daily.
One of the ideology we all know about the cryptocurrency is the knowledge of Holding back some altcoins we believed that will do well in the long run. it is an interesting thing to NOTE that these TWO Altcoins made me have a strong feeling that cryptocurrency can be a fortune if you are lucky to invest on it

BLOCKV

A closer look on these two altcoins will make you have a rethink about holding some altcoins, what to hold and Not to sell off everything if you have to sell. Both token raised from zero usd to a high price. even contesting with the top 100 coins on CMC. i am sure there are other altcoins that made this moves in the market but it's quite unfortunate that few people are holding such while some has sold off.

So, before you make that decision of selling off everything that you have in wallet because the market is down and out. please reconsider before you regret your moves. you might be holding a token that worth millions in the next 2 years.

with supports as possessing of different customs on unit on qualification the work on investing gives with one of returns as investors to collects as least on excessive to secure of worse as waste to collects with numbers of minimum value on nominals with profit on finest with the terms of plan.

what exaclty are you trying to say. your point is baseless and it is not clear. please explain your self clearly.

blockv is just a token, how can you say "these altcoins have risen" ? lol  : /    if blockv was serious they wouldnt rely on ETH would they? lol its up 6000% today, talk about no liquidity :O
and thorecoin is the biggest scam ive seen this year for sure, i wouldnt touch that with a 10 foot pole, it looks like the LEOcoin guys are back at it haha
Do you not think a coin worth that much would be on  a SINGLE reputable exchange? :D that coin looks like noone will touch for when the gov shuts the scam down they dont wanna be involved :O so sketchy!
So have fun shilling noob, but everyone should already know when people suggest junk? its to try make people buy their bags, im really sry you have bags of these :(  DYOR next time!

i understand your point of view but most times, what people care about is the current market trends and prices. bitcoin which is the number one currency with all use case hit over 18k in 2018 and made people billionaires while some people are crying recently due to that bull market.
i am trying to say that you never know where your furtune lies. shit tokens or coins. money is money and people are making it,

I think the point @op is trying to make is whatever coin you are holding be it the 2 stated above or something else, think before selling off everything especially when there is a little potential in that coin, you never know how this might turn around so fast,
There is nothing wrong in leaving 10% of the the coin and sell 90% if you so badly want to sell.

2 years is a very long period of time, whereas we need living expenses every month. How do you overcome this? This is a tip from me, if you have $1000 you can divide it into several parts. For example, $300 for the long term, $ 500 for the short term, and the rest for reserve funds. By using this method, you will not have any difficulties to meet the needs of life in a month. Good luck, man!

That isn't likely, especially not with tokens.  You gave 2 examples, but those are the rare exceptions to the rule that most coins and tokens aren't worth buying or even getting for free.  Airdrops still take up time, and that's more valuable than most of these crap tokens are.

All good points and honestly I've never even heard of thorecoin or blockv, so I seriously doubt they're anything close to what op is hyping them up to be.  The smart play would be to ignore tokens altogether and to own only coins in the top 20 on coinmarketcap, if you own altcoins at all.  If you think those shit tokens and coins are going to be the next bitcoin, you're deluding yourself and are gambling on a remote possibility.  That's not worth the time or effort in my opinion.

Yes, but this is unlikely when the market is no longer bubble. Rich tech billionaires thanks to the growth of the internet bubble.
The crypto bubble once existed but it broke. Besides, the good alts also gradually become strong discount over time. It cannot be kept at a good price due to too much manipulation and no close commitment between investors and the team.
I just want to hold the alts when I know their true operation and there must be a commitment between the investors and the team about holding the token and supporting the team.

Seems you are more concerned about the price of the cryptocoins (and their ROI) than what they have to offer.
You should probably take a look at the coins daily volume and total supply... not that encouraging in my opinion.
I wonder why Blockv price increased by about thousands of percent in a short time. Was it pumped or something?

We've actually been talking about the same thing for about 2 years. Cryptocurrencies continue to progress with a long cycle. At the end of each cycle to date, we are talking about a market that has reached higher points than before. Therefore, it may not be right to evaluate the current prices. I think we should wait a little while for the evaluation of altcoins.

Only altcoins with good usecase will be the only option for hodling. Others should be for probably short term trading and not advisable to hodl. The Season is almost here and it is best we stock up our portfolio with reliable altcoins that will definitely be of benefits during altcoins season. We keep waiting, we keep hodling and we keep hoping it comes soon because it very close.  

If some altcoins that hit its bottom while the team still are up to make some updates and new features and you can still see its thriving after the bear market, I guess its fair to invest to it. You can't just say a token rely much to ETH since most of the altcoins rely to BTC. There are altcoins that has its own blockchain with all the products being launched already but the price still is less than $0.01 and I think the coin still deserves a chance this coming bullrun if the developers are still up to make improvements and new roadmaps.

Blockv though is something suspicious, its just too sudden. You might have to wait and see what cause the uptrend.

I still hold some altcoins, but I hold more of bitcoin. There are still some good altcoins with good teams,  project reviews and of course some are structing a new roadmap for Q1 2020. I wouldn't advise throwing all bags of altcoin thinking it all shit. The good project with potential team still good for holding and we keep buying new project with good fundamentals.

Simply an advise that: some altcoins are possible to give good profit at the long run if we keep being patient by hodling. Another lesson from the advise is that, if we decide to sell, we should keep out some incase it might rise very well and become wealth.

That is if you see the coin to have a fighting chance in the altcoin race. If not then you;d have to wonder why it got into your wallet and your best move is to dump it before it turned zero. Most of the time the people who evaluate the project is right about them being shitcoin.

No half measures to be done, just dump them and buy back incase you find out they are actually good as they say they are.

That's why I don't sell my altcoins.In the hope that at least one of them will make me rich.lol.In any case, sooner or later, but the season of altcoins will someday come.

I agree with you that selling off 100% of a particular good altcoin  is not always the best decision, but not in all situations. Sometimes when you discover a project has no vision over time, it's wise to dump your entire holdings. Talking about the tokens you mentioned, do not always look at very big percentage increase when truly they don't even have good trading volume. If a coin does 1000% within 24 hours with 100$ volume, it's as good as 0% change.

Holding is good when there are prospect but why hold owven the market is in the red territory

If only there was a strategy by which one could tell that a particular coin is gonna be heading south then most folks would heave a sigh of relief

True, I had experienced this, deliberately selling all the tokens in my wallet, then a few months later one of them became very valuable. all that's left is regret, seeing that the token keeps getting more expensive.

Tet to see a coin that went to zero . I am wondering what could be responsible for this abd why anyone would not sell off their holding the moment they get the feeling that their holding could be taking that downward movement

Everybody that holds a coin does that with the hope of making some good mark up but there have been occasions in which such expectations turn into soar experience

Very few coins have real fight in the market, about 99% of them are going in the trash bin. If there's no more development or the dev can't be found anywhere, then I guess your dream of becoming reach to hold those coins is already gone. The mentioned coins by the OP are very rare to find actually. Most of the time, I just sell my altcoins and not look back again. And guess what, my guts of selling them off is right.

In my opinion, holding altcoins have a good impact for long term investment and I believe some altcoins are making progress in the crypto market. Also, there are cases for some  altcoins instead of a favorable market uptrend it went down for a long period without any progress at all. Therefore, before making any investment, be sure to research further in securing altcoin investment and always keep on track with the market update.

Holding altcoin can give you a profit in the next 2 years, but that depends on the altcoin you have. I feel that it is too difficult to say that one altcoin will be worth after 2 years, we don't even know if the project still continues in that time. If I have a lot of money, I will buy many altcoins, especially for the altcoin, which has a low price because I see a small price coin can have a big chance to increase. I prefer to buy the coin which has a position at the top fifty coin list because that coin will have a big opportunity to grow.

In my point of view, reconsidering to hold certain altcoins may be done if we really know that the coin may be promising in the future. We must analyze how the interest of investors in the market. If day after day the volume seems hard to improve, I will forget to hold the coins and prefer to sell them soon. While if the coin's volume is growing constantly on the market and the team continues developing the project, I will consider holding for a long time.

Regarding the two coins above, I see there is good progress on ThoreCoin charts but not on BLOCKv charts. If I have the two coins in my wallets, I will consider holding ThoreCoin and plan to sell BLOCKv.

For some coins it would be a soar experience if you didn't know what you are investing. Though for some reason there are quite good altcoins too yet they lack of funding that's why they start to crash. This is the risk that we have to deal when investing altcoins. We can't securely keep safe our investment since the risk is always 50% chance to succeed.

Blockv isn't even a pump and dump, it's simply a small exchange using the altcoin for wash trading purposes, then pumping up the price to reduce the number of transactions it takes to fill its books.

This is exactly why exchanges that fake their trade volume should never be trusted. A complete noob (like many of the people in this thread) would buy into Blockv expecting profits, only to get rekt.

Same here, nothing to do. I just let my altcoins standby on my wallet and hoping that someday, sometime this will be active again and hopefully gain profit. Its a big loss if I sell now, some are unlisted on exchanges already. We are just hoping here because some project are pt on hold because of this long bear season.

Altcoin now is a vast category to generalize as one. Many of the altcoins have performed better than bitcoin.
Investors should study the coins they are intending to invest on and diversify between different nature of coins and priorities the high cap coins if you are looking for safer investment.

yes you are right OP better we are patient waiting for the altcoin market to pump more than to sell altcoin. even though we have to wait 2 years. because if you choose to sell now we will experience a loss. I am optimistic that when bitcoin comes to the moon the altcoin market will be green again. even though it might take a long time. so I always recommend making crypto an additional job rather than a main job. because the crypto market is not necessarily very volatile, it cannot be relied on to meet daily needs.

I think blockv and thorecoin are only some unclear coins or tokens that are only aimed at looking for developers' profits. Yes it can be profitable if we understand how to play the dev. But the fact is I won't hold coins or tokens like this for a long time. If you already see a profit, just sell it. I just think this is just a pump and dump with a limit supply strategy or other. I better buy the top 10 cryptos than the coins or tokens. This is safer for me.

Too risky if you hold altcoin that is not widely known and also has a liquidity that is not too large. For altcoin, I tend to choose to invest in altcoin which is in the top 10 or at least the top 50 coinmarket. Amid the unclear market conditions, in my opinion the safest choice is not too much to speculate and choose to hold bitcoin

You are right pal, some altcoins can't go wrong due to their capabilities, they are so good that no matter what happens to present market movements they will still be standing strong, if you don't hold shitcoins surely the future will be brighter

This is the common mistakes of new investors, they only buy once the market will start to go upward but they forget that they can earn a good amount of profit if they will buy in this time of the market as the price is very low.

There are plenty of altcoins that have potentials out there but the question is whether we can pick them in the right time. So if you are a new investor, then it will be best if you stock your investment in this type of the market.

BLOCKv has a good chart today (390.35%), I have been trading this coin for a long time in bittrex, but I am not sure about thorecoin. To hold coins, I must first confirm their volume, I only focus on the short term at this time and it is better to buy coins that have a staking model.

in fact their potential will increase just like the others, but it's better to focus on coins that have a stigma in usage like kcs.

   
This Altcoin platform has got a big shock due to the decrease in an ICO in recent time, I think this is just the reason for some scam project, people are losing their interest on this system day by day only for this reason. not only that but also people are getting lost also from this platform because of the price of Altcoins is decreasing at a decreasing rate, so Altcoin is just facing a crisis in this issue, but it's not a wise decision to sell the token at a low price, I think in the future, Altcoins will get a big space because the platform will get accepted with the change of time, once it will get approved legally then everything will get clear. so don't make any unworthy decision.

but when it comes to the need to live, I don't think there is another way unless he has a job in the real world. so far many people who did not get good results with the work became campaign participants. because new project trends are reduced because of the many frauds in the past

Scam exit is another fact, it is indeed that we experienced a lot of scam project and that makes us very cautious every time we had a successful project. We tend to sell immediately to avoid scam exit than to hold and believe in the project. There is nothing wrong with selling than holding altcoins, the thing is, the improvement will depend on the team if they will continue even after its downfall in the market.

I never heard of the two altcoins OP made mention but i hope you have do your own research on them? token relying on ETH means nothing as all altcoins relies on Bitcoin too, what should be your top priority is solid altcoins, you won't get disappointed if you hold them for long time

That is exactly my point. thank you for understanding.

Then OP, are you trying to promote your token? Forgive me if I'm wrong cause I feel that you encourage people to invest these tokens/coins.
But looking into these two coins, I may see hypes around and this is a reason why its prices move higher more than enough to make surpasses from the old and reputable coin in the market. If we are considering this one, I'm afraid I've caught into a pump and dump group again.

Can always do that but you may not see more of the users exactly leaving some altcoins that is just about 300 coins which each is worth $0.001. You are just hopeful that a project could be successful and users who got some of it miss the chance to profit more because they sell their share too early. Some bounty hunters do that specially if the coin isn't yet on the exchange. Either that or they are just too lazy to login to their Myetherwallet because it loads so slow and there are more things to do than dumping.

I have a friend which do had a coin that he received way back 2016 as an airdrop, I don't remember the exact name of the token but they've received a lot of it since it only had few cents of dollars on its price, and he hold it, in the year 2017, it went so high and he even built his own house already that year by his profits on that "shit coins" that he thought it was, that is why my mindset about tokens who have only few cents on their name changed, I hold them hoping that after a year or maybe two, it will gives me also profits like what happened to my friend, but until now, I still don't get any.

Year 2017 can be consider as the year for almost all alts not just in BTC, it's also the year when ICO gains success even the projects are not too good. Many projects were able to be successful as well those bounty participants and even just in airdrop. Lucky those who get the chance to spend their earning in bounties those years as we may need to wait longer till it happens again and by that time we're not sure if our alt holding especially if not that popular is still alive in the market.

Most of us have many coins in their portfolios even we don't know when our one of the coins will rise unexpectedly so its all about how much patience you have. There is no use in selling in panic. I always believe if you are holding good coins one must wait for a good price & should not sell in panic. I learn this market is all about patience to get good fruit in the end.

If that is just how you would choose the alt-coin that you would hold then I am sure that there are tons of other alts that would be listed on your portfolio as well.
We couldn't be so sure that those crypto could really be worth something in the future .
We have seen so many crypto ends up dead or being worthless so I think it could also happen to any crypto as well.

It should also be noted to check the news for some coins that you hold, we often miss the event if the coin has experienced a swapping period with a certain deadline, I once held a phb coin which finally has a separate algorithm from the coins that I held before, this is reflective because the holder usually focus on new coins and forget to check the development of long-held coins.

   Most of us hold some alt-coins, but we don't know when will we see the higher prices. We don't know nothing, we just wait and hope
for the best outcome. Do we need to reconsider some investments, I don't know, probably yes, cause not all investments will turn into
profit.
   Who sell in panic will regret later. I don't have intention to do that. I hold what I hold and I will try to believe in that coins in long run.

I lost a lot of money holding altcoins, it's easy to lost control and money if you are not connected all days and have possession of more than 10 coins for example

I have a work that consumes a lot of time, so it's hard to be well informed about a lot of coins, now I have my portfolio of 5 or 6 coins and I'm good now

I completely don't buy into the idea of holding coins and assets aimlessly and hopelessly. Several mistakes have been made by holding not very good cryptocurrencies, leaving a lot with regrets and had I knowns. The simple truth is, not all projects around today will be here tomorrow. A lot of them are going to die a natural death due to lack of demand or use case thus, making holding of such crypto assets completely useless. One has to be very careful and highly certain about the kind of assets they hold.

Before one hodl its very much important researches are made to avoid tears at last... I hardly hodl and before I do I always endure its a legit platform and also have reasons for holding so I do not really buy the idea of holding. Just saying my own opinion.

Nah, I'm not hating those two coins mentioned, but I doubt that they ever will be worth holding in the next coming years. If I'm going to hold alts, I would rather pick any in the top 10 because they have been tested by time already.

And those coins that moon during the last bull run is having a hard time today because of the bear market and simply that it has been exposed as merely pump and dump coin. Because obviously, there are a lot of irrational buyers that time. But as the pictures gets clearer when the bear takes over, those buyers lost a lot of money and have learn their lessons not to just buy the hype, just saying.

This is a correct judgment. I am very attentive to my altcoins. Indeed, some of them can bring good benefits in the future. It is unlikely that any of them will be able to repeat the fate of bitcoin or ether, but a good profit can also bring.

All the big coins on the market started from low prices and has risen up to this far. They've all passed through difficult moments before finally reaching this far. If investors who were holding them at the beginning, decided to dump them so early like what we've been doing of late, I don't think those coins would have come this far. Let's try and support the promising coins we are holding right now for it to grow in the near future.

I'm not saying that I hold altcoin which I don't know as the op mentioned. And isn't it clear that I prefer to buy the top 10 cryptos based on CMC.
On the other hand, we have to be extra careful in exploring the world of crypto because there are so many people who want to take our money in a very subtle way. Everything can happen when it comes to money.

Altcoin I may reconsider holding should be either exchange tokens or altcoins that has taste the hit of time like ETH, BCH, XRP and some good ones out there aside them nothing again.

Unlikely.

Coins like these happen once in a blue moon, and there are many more examples of coins that went to absolute zero and have a dead chain essentially and never have recovered in 2-3 years time.

Don't blindly hold. I think that's the most rational thing to do. Only hold if you have reason to. If there are no long term fundamentals to back up your decision to hold then it's really a dumb thing to do .

I see that the old altcoin has become shitcoin and worthless, as well as many new altcoin projects that can be very profitable. We know which altcoins will be highly valued and which projects can make us profitable, all must be with strong technical analysis, but for now the altcoin in my wallet that is shitcoin I discarded and I collected a new one

That's why he said that OP might consider his decision before taking an action. "you might be holding a token that worth millions in the next 2 years."
It happens once in a blue moon and this might be it.

But the decision will still depend on OP, he can exchange it to a better altcoin in the market to at least guarantee of making a profit when bull run comes.

True. Some token might look worthless now but might spring to high prices in the future. I think its all about how one has researched before getting into buying or receiving such tokens. If I have tokens that I believe have viable products and a professional team, I am holding them. After all, the crypto market is down, right now.

Not gonna lie, some altcoins might've survived in these kinda bad market conditions and some ain't that good. People nowadays tend to hold a more stable coins. But as op mentioned, the alts that you're holding might worth million in the next two years or so. So it means we're taking a very big risk if it's a long term holding. When we see that the price almost hits very low we need to make the loses very little, and sell it off.

Not to mention we don't have any assurance that those alts will bounce back up. Some might've recovered and has a higher value than what it used to have, but the others weren't so lucky. Considering how almost every alts have to struggle to achieve its value now. Choose wisely.

True, if you want to make a lot of profit, then hold altcoin born from exchanges or tokens that have been hit on various exchanges, but the thing to remember is the risk of loss is also greater, and if we hold a stable token or coin then the risk of loss is very little , although the benefits are also small.

The possibility is still there, as long as you hold, those chances will remain in you. Even if we had a bearish market, in the long run, those altcoins might become the reason to make him reach. And It is also a good decision to cut losses if those coins show a massive decrease in price and spend it on a better coin.

obviously of course I still choose the top 100 cmc top, because it's more secure when bitcoin price movements go up and they also go up, blockv and thorecoin are a bit strange for their prices to go up maybe because the pump group or I don't know in the bear market it's hard to get the best Altcoin except from TOP 100 CMC, I might be safer to keep it

I agree with your opinion. altcoin with ranks that are not dominant are very vulnerable to market manipulation, sometimes the pope can do this. The Pope could have done FUD news and it would be good to take the opportunity to make their tokens multiply.

Your opinion top 100 in cmc is a place that I think is safe for investment, but the dominant fluctuating price is suitable as trading. Top 100 in cmc ROI makes more sense than in lower ranks.

Cut loses is very difficult with fluctuating market the timing might harmed your investment, though there's always a good possibilities when
you fully understand the situation and you can take the risk of waiting for the next market trend. Getting good profits once you know the
potential projects to invest your money. Do good research and allow yourself to expand your knowledge towards this market.

Yeah, and look, even if most of us did hold these shitcoins and waited for 2 years and we GOT that x100 price we're all waiting for, imagine all of us trying to sell? I bet you, orders would totally not hold. One big whale dumping and the rest of us slower ones would see our coins turn to shite. Again. And overnight.

If you have shitcoins, Hold if you already lost over 90% I'd say. Put it into Bitcoin and then never worry again.

I actually know about Thorcoin which is trading on one small exchange. It's actually not about holding a while, it's about what to hold. With the current reality of the market, only 3 or 4 coins might be able to do well in the long term and the big question is how to spot such coins and this is very di for everyone of us. Profiting from holding altcoins is just a game of luck.

My altcoins came from a series of relatively successful bounties, but a year ago they lost almost all their value.
Rather than get rid of them for a change, I prefer to keep them as a souvenir.
And then, you never know :)

This fake surge of BLOCKV can't be model for anyone. After joined crypto market, this two coin gives me hope. One is binance coin another is ThoreCoin. After February I was surprised to check ThoreCoin. We should make different plan for altcoins.

Agree, I would also prefer coins that are in the top 100 coinmarketcaps, because they already have liquidity and an attractive investor base. Speculating on coins that are still traded in small exchangers may be too risky unless the coins are backed up or have a partnership with a reputable company

There are also some coins that have increased like that. At first it didn't have a price, but after 2-3 years it started to go up and it was very surprising. But be careful first, the unnatural increase is indeed genuine or just manipulation to increase market enthusiasm and make investors interested. Don't get caught up in FOMO. I have altcoin up to hundreds of Altcoins from the bounty, but I still hold it because there is currently no price. There are some coins that have good potential in the future but are still under development. I am sure there are some of my coins that will be valuable in the coming year when the market situation has improved.

I no longer care about holding any tokens anymore as I am. I will sure sell my tokens in its first hour of exchange listing. Past experience has taught me that. There are series of tokens I hodl in the past that are now useless in my wallets.

If you are investing in shit coins then there is the risk of not getting listed in any exchanges, so avoid those decisions unless you collected those in a bounty, i am not investing in any alt coin for years but i am holding some coins which i mined and invested in the past and i am waiting for the market to rise to sell everything and some i will be holding forever :-\.

as I often say that if you want to invest in altcoin then use the top alcoin in the market, why? because you also know that the market is currently in a downward phase, altcoin loses a lot of value, but I think the top altcoin in the market still has a chance to increase when the market has improved or when btc has risen significantly.

From what I know, the two coins mentioned by the OP are not traded in large exchangers. If it is still traded on a small exchanger, then the opportunity for investors to know about coins is quite small. In my opinion, if a token or coin wants to be recognized quickly, listing in large exchangers is an efficient way because it will raise investor confidence

maybe luck is only in favor of gambling, but it depends on you bet for the purpose of winning or losing, this is only an example and I do not intend to offend you. but once in a while if you are ready, you can try it there to feel the challenge.
and in crypto investment depends on how you manage your financial management, the coins you invest, how active the team and dev are in product development and it is important to use real coins or have been registered in a large market.

yes of course everyone is currently looking for security to invest in the top 100 CMC, because experience has also taught me a lot of things, I don't want to get stuck in the same hole, so I'm not interested in anything offered by every other new project except interesting development and high trading volumes enter the top 100 cmc

Especially for those who have no penny to invest but are capable of promoting new projects, bounty tokens like tokoin or gowithmi should be kept safe or lock away in your wallet because it is positive that these kind of coins will bring holders huge return on future

In the normal market conditions, I also have thought like you but the reality slaps hard to the face of scary investors. The partnership news doesn't move the prices of the newly listed altcoin and only big companies are able to move the market price with marketing tactics. The large exchange's reputation helps the project to be accepted by all types of crypto investors.

Please people should try as much as possible to do their research, one thing I see in the space now is inside trading, most of these so called VCs have inside knowledge of what is going to happen before an announcement is made and trade it, make money at the expense of others. If you see someone shilling you a coin think twice

It is right to think before selling everything, but we will never know when the currency will appreciate. How long will it take 1 year or 10 years for me to wait for the currency to appreciate again?
My strategy is simple, I invest in one of the biggest coins in the market instead of investing in junk coins and waiting in vain.

Although now is not a very favorable time for altcoins, but you still need to be very careful. There are coins that gave great hope, but now turned into nothing, but there are also coins that are not worth selling now. Times will improve and there is a chance to get a decent profit from them.

If you are wealthy person for sure you can wait it for a very long period of time. What I mean is like the difference between those user that can wait for too much time and a user that can't wait due for some reasons like they really need money in which they have no choice but to sell their holding altcoins as they really need it as soon as possible that certain amount.

Long term investments on a project with huge plans for the future could gain better potentials, instead of quick rising one. That's what we need as a holder before making such decisions on venturing serious investments for our expected profits. Actually it isn't easy to deal with this kind of situation, and we must choose briefly what altcoin asset should be your best preference.

Stories about the fact that there are coins that now cost nothing, and in two years they will cost millions, are not related to the current situation. There was a hype, here are the coins and understood. And now, with the new hype, new coins will appear, which will grow, but about those that are now, we can not be remembered.

At least to bet on altcoin is also not a bad decision consider about altcoin will always here forever. That just the matter about how good the development of altcoin. It's better to invest in a project that has a bright future. The decent profit will come to good altcoin. This time people must focus on how they can get the quality over the quantity. An altcoin that has already present by the utility usage of altcoin itself. People must aware if altcoin is not always become a bad story

well the market is unpredictable and if you will only depend because it reaches a high price before that's not a good idea
because they're a lot of coins with the same graph and it becomes really hard to differentiate want to coin will survive in the next price rise
you can gain big profit from investing in altcoin but the risk is so high

Truth is, there are good altcoins out there but what one need is to search and do thorough research and investigations to know if team are still available or has decamped and if there are really product. Once you see there's good movement from team there are needs to reconsider such Altcoin/altcoins

Holding altcoins for few months or years will not guarantee that you gain profit because what really matters is how the team develop their platform or product to increase the demand for the coin. I recommend that if you have a bag of a dead project or shit coins then stop holding them and sell it immediately if still available because you won't gain anything for holding so long.

You really have some facts there, I think that we need to have our investment in these coins as future investment because we might never know exactly what will become of them in the future as many people never thought that bitcoin too could develop to this extent after some years of its establishment.

Nevertheless, we still have to be very careful in the type of project that we hold for future also, we have to really do a great research on them to ensure that the project is worth keeping our trust I and also, since we can really guarantee the success of any project now or in the future, every money we put in such investment must be money that we are sure we can part away with easily or money we can really afford to lose.

The junk coins that I have in my personal swallow might also experience extraordinary increases. But I have some altcoins that are good but the price is very cheap compared to ICO. Projects that continue to be developed may become extraordinary projects and achieve ATH again. Nothing is impossible in the crypto world, everything can happen in an instant.

My experience with this situation is reach and I need to agree with you. Most altcoins don't have any use or they have a use but world simply isn't ready for them. One could say, Ok, the world is not ready YET but if I wait long enough... My answer is, If you wait long enough, the coin will die because developers will move on to another project and community will also forget about it.
There are some exceptions and projects worth waiting for and they have some kind of source of funds to pay developers even when Altcoin price is low so the project doesn't die. This is rare tho. Just look at CMC top100 and you'll see many altcoins and tokens from a year or two ago are not there anymore.

Your post was actually impressive up till i saw thorecoin and blockv. Like seriously?  The both coins are a no no for me, i cant imagine myself holding such coins when there are millions of altcoins with potentials out there. Have u heard of how investors lamented about thorecoin? I bet you dont know the negative aspect of the above mentioned coins

I agree. There are instances wherein the old altcoin you are currently holding gets larger value as time passes by. If you are holding lots of old and new altcoins at the moment, it would be best if you are going to wait till the new altcoin season has come. It will surely pay off, the long wait you endured so just be patient and trust that the market will bring great rise to altcoins the soonest. Do not commit a mistake that you would regret you whole life, be smart and wise with all of your decisions and it will surely bring you great results.

Portfolio rebalancing is one of the most important parts, you cannot hold the same altcoins forever. But investing big amounts right now, by selling alts that dropped by x10, is not the best idea at the moment and I would definitely wait.

Knowing what project you have inside your portfolio is the most important thing that investors needs to understand, you need to be very careful with what you will going to hold, it's a matter of doing your best finding the right project. Allowing yourself to investigate and observe how things will work out you never know what will happen in the next couple of years.

With Altcoins investing and holding,  you need to have some level of plan and knowledge about the entire altcoin space and market. Your plans should include the duration at which you will be investing into that particular crypto coin.  Having a time duration for your altcoin investing gives you some level of understanding on changes seen in the altcoin market. Plans, knowledge and understanding are what any investor needs to control their level and margin of profit or loss. It also help the investor to know when to hold or sell...

We indeed need to hold our altcoins no matter what happens, because if we sell our tokens in a situation like this, we are like people who are throwing money away without thinking. I am still believing that every altcoins that I am holding will pump, maybe not now but maybe soon. Patience is important for a person who wants a beautiful success in their tasks or career. At a time like this, projects are not likely good enough to succeed because as we all know the market is not in a good health, the idea is that, it is not really healthy like before way back 2017.

Its really wide and craze in crypto space, everybody is engaging without knowing what the outcomes will be, now every one prays for a next altcoin season but still it feels so far away, i still like altcoins more than bitcoin because they have better updated features and bitcoin is oldy, i will keep holding my coins and hoping for the best

You need to readjust your portfolio and pick out the bad apples, the projects you made mention are not popular that is why only very few people knew about them, go for better altcoins like ripple, ltc, bch, lcc, etc

Many altcoins are useless and worthless, they have nothing to offer and they will be creating hype of hodl for everyone and if you hold them for few month they will be failing already, top altcoins all the way if you want your invested money to be less safer

Yes, it is necessary to review altcoins. When you invest heavily in altcoins it is a risk. Be cautious and review carefully

Everyone has their own reason to do whatever they belief is right, i believe that by 2020 to 2021 another huge bullrun will happen so there for i will keep gathering every good altcoins i can see, potential altcoins will always do better, people like saying negative words once thinks take unexpected words but we are in techy world now and crypto is just getting started

I agree not to sell what I have in my wallet. Considerations to sell some abandoned projects are necessary. Should not be left in projects that have little hope.

The altcoins are really not good, we need to reconsider. Whether to continue or sell out is a difficult decision but with the current situation I find very unsatisfactory.

The best thing to do right now is hold a coin that does have potential in the future. Selling now is indeed not the right choice, because it will be wasted because now altcoin is like garbage and there is no price. Waiting for the right moment to make a sale.

Well only altcoins that are top 100 deserve to be watched over, the rest of them or outside the top 100 are just like betting. You don't even know what will happen to them because a fragile and newly emerged alts have unstability that could turn your portfolio massively to dust within a night. That's why most of people will advise you to never ever invest into alts with low market capitalization and low trading volume. With popular alts atleast it will be hard to manipulate and wont lose its majority of value overnight.

Yes. They are all have their unique potential but the situation doesn't have to comply with all the time. Sometimes when the market is growing, you are obliged or more like highly recommended that you have to disposed some of those alts. Otherwise, you will just lost. Potential isn't favorable when the market is growing.

I only found out about this coin after reading this thread and I thought I would prefer investing in coins that are in the top 50. In current market conditions, I think it is too risky to invest in coins that we ourselves are not familiar with.

right, ranking is an indicator for a project's potential. ranking based on volume in the market and a solid community I think can avoid fraud projects. very unwise if we invest in projects that have small volumes, especially for the long term, and that I think is like gambling, right you say

The fact that BLOCKv has shown good momentum recently does not mean anything, since any altcoin with low capitalization could show such growth, because it costs nothing to someone who has a lot of money sending it to the moon because there are empty glasses on exchanges. Open coins that are rated by coinmarketcap in the last places and you can also send a coin to the moon.

It's a nice idea but it plays down to the kind of altcoin you planing to hodl because alot of projects are owned by dumper developers who only come to pump and dump on investors, but at the end due diligence is the way.

I would say that much definitely depends on a concrete solution. And as you have probably noticed, there are higher investments into solutions that come up with innovations, not just some kind of ideas. However, there are still not many advanced ones today

Hey! I absolutely agree with you on that. Probably another trend is IEO - but here the main point is trust to the exchanges, where tokens are listed. And there are great strategies these days, for example, the one Binance has chosen

What have they chosen? Cause I don't fully get what you mean right now

For example, I am pretty impressed with their community listing program. Have you heard something about it already? The main point here is letting community to choose the most in demand tokens from Binance DEX that will be listed on Binance. Of course, there are requirements that must be met, like trading volume etc

I believe that some altcoins still have some good potential in them to do great in future. I am holding some altcoins and hopefully i will become rich through them. I hold more of Bitcoin than altcoins though

Oh, I haven't heard of such a program, is it a new one? Are there any favorites already?

Yep, there are. One of the most popular and in demand solution is Verasity. And their VRA token is in very high demand on Binance DEX, so they are now having huge chances to be listed. What I also find very attractive here - the platform itself. It is currently used by more than 700k people and roadmap looks very impressing

Reconsidering altcoins is by choice and the particular Altcoin as no one can stand to trust all altcoins. Just few out there are to be trusted but getting real ones has to do with adequate research in order to know what is on ground and reasons to reconsider it after dip . As for me the altcoin I can reconsider is something like ETH or the ones I have done proper research and notice their failure resulted through general dip and they have working product.

I wonder the same.... DOes the token it really have a value?
Project is interesting and could be everything Milleniums need in the future. They should work on a platform like Instagram...
 ;D

With the almost dull state of market right now, it will be the best time to find projects like these to invest to. Buying coins and tokens at this low prices, can greatly increase your profit. Of course, you first have to understand and accept the risk of the project not surviving in the end or get negative profit from it. It is no guarantees but for many, it is worth the risk

BlockV Vee is on bittrex  ???
the real value of this token cannot be that low :) the correction happened to all great coins.

under 0.00000150 BTC its far from it's average

It might probably even be the next XLM or STRAT if they make great collabs and partnerships. its personally the only coin i hold with faith  ::)

what if what if...

It is difficult to decide which altcoin to hold, as much as we want to invest in multiple coins and tokens, we are not all financially equipped to do so. It is also not the best time to sell off and indeed, it will good to see what 2020 will have to offer in the market. Hodling is a difficult and patience-killing task but don't give up easily by FUD that circles around you.

Wait for what? If an altcoin has lost more than 90% of its value and it is not one of the top coins in the market I can assure you that such a coin is not going to ever recover, it is better to sell it now and obtain whatever you can out of it, I know that no one wants to do that because it is really difficult to admit that you have made a mistake and that such a mistake has cost you some much money but if you want to improve as a trader that is something that you will have to do.

Holding altcoins for the long term has never been a good idea, you should always be ready to get rid of them in the case something goes wrong but newbies keep ignoring this advice and they suffer the consequences of it.

I don’t believe this kind of coins there is several example I can give by holding this kind of coins what happened . This kid of coins hype coin based on hype it will work some day soon it will be disappear . Now a days most of the coins are disappearing from exchange how can we believe this coin won’t follow the same path . Beware about project having sudden growth . Check last 24 hours volume it will give clear picture about the project.

There is always a need to rebalance your portfolio, otherwise, you will lose money. It cannot be that you are always making the right choices, so it happens to everyone. Be up to date and invest smartly in great alts.

Instead of just checking the volume of a coin during the last 24 hours do that but check the volume of the last six months, if the volume is abnormally high for such a coin then you will realize that something is happening, it could be something positive, maybe the coin is actually growing and it could be a good investment but this could also be a sign of several pump and dump groups taking over that coin and manipulating it for their ends.

Whenever you invest in an altcoin that is not really well known by the community you need to always be very careful since it is not rare for those coins to crash incredibly fast after they have grow in value for some time and you don't want to be the person holding those coins at the end.

I agree with some points, the need to hold altcoins lost its meaning in the bear market. If the trader decided to get rid of the specific altcoin due to the poor result, it happens because of the bear market. In case of having a another alternative based on good prediction, selling the last trade in loss is acceptable. Otherwise, jumping from one to another altcoin is timewasting in a downtrend, the consequences will be the same.

You are probably a beginner, because you do not understand that this growth is not natural, it is artificial and you will not be able to predict such growth in the future on other coins. Earlier in the distant 16-17 years, such lumbago was a regular event and then it was still possible to track them, but now it is something not possible.

In my opinion, it is bad idea to sell altcoins which you are being holding for a long time already. They likely cost 10 or more times less since the time you bought it, so if the project is good enough, it will grow during the next altcoin season.

I am really scared of hodling altcoins. That is my most of my asset is in BTC and ETH. If I cannot be certain about which altcoin is going to rise in price then I will rather not invest in it. Although, I am taking a look at some exchange coins and considering investing there instead

It's really hard to judge an altcoin at the moment.  But maybe altcoin is in its recovery phase, we only know hope when this trend comes back again or it becomes shitcoin.

It's scary holding Altcoin these days but some are worth holding as they have future and a great team. To hold should requires follow up and monitoring to know how deep team are going or they have nothing to showcase in the long run. Some altcoins are worth reconsidering.

The follow up is important and lately as we are having IEO, many swap is happening for coins that have not been doing well. So swapswapping can change the fortune of a coin. Selling off every token on loss isn't always the best.

Some coins having such massive growth with poor trading volume is obviously pump and dump, reason why I don't get moved when coins make such moves. I believe in gradual growth with very good trading volume and not otherwise. Well I like the point of OP, sometimes you hold coins you believe in for long term, but this doesn't mean one shouldn't sell when need be.

I forgot about that and you are right, selling your altcoins means that you will have to buy something else with your money if you decide to keep yourself in this market and it will be a huge mistake that after you invested in an altcoin that made you lose so much money that you once again decide to invest in an altcoin just so you could lose even more money, at this point in the market there are only two good investment options, the first one is to invest your money in bitcoin and the second is to get out of this market until you understand it better.

None of those two options seems that attractive right now and I get it but compared to investing in altcoins they are great options.

Sometimes we don't think too much about this, and I think most people are also more focused on getting results in a short period of time because they won't think too much for the long term that isn't possible. It is possible to hold a coin in 2 years which is now of low value which will become very high but for me personally, I will not wait too long and it is uncertain what I will get so when I have benefited from the coins that I hold, I will decide to sell it.

I don't know about the coins you mentioned but i am certain that good altcoins will worth something huge in near future, i am more into keeping 20% of my coins for long term hodl and sell the rest to maintain myself, make sure the coins you pick are all very good coins with use cases

When bullrun was around everyone thought it will keep climbing so they kept buying and now that all coins are suffering everyone thinks coins aren't going to surge again which makes people sell off as soon as they make little gains, i bet many will have a story to tell in future either good or bad, i am just going to keep keeping good altcoins with real working products and worry less about the future

That was so unpredictable cause during that time people are too optimistic to see the market will run for another peak but it eventually drops off causes huge losses. Ain't no wonder that people would think of negative today cause we never see any marked improvement after such a fall (last year). Thus considering altcoins for investment is absolutely at high risk.

BLOCKv is the typical example for a pump-and-dump coin. It went up by 8x in a matter if few days, and then came crashing down to the previous levels. Those who had purchased this coin at peak levels would be at approx. 90% loss now. If a coin goes up, first we need to find out the reasons for the price movement. We need to make sure that it is not due to market manipulation.

That is a great way to continue to survive in cryptocurrency. You could say we still have $ 200 for us to use in our daily needs, but the problem is when we get a failure in trading or investing in the short term that we do, then our $ 500 money will come down and we have to think of a way to at least can restore our lost capital and meet our needs for the next.

Altcoin investment are considering one of the investments that have high risks. Most of the altcoins are dying because of low demand that lead to few market participants. If we will make investment with altcoins, we should pick between top 20 altcoins in terms of market capitalizarion because these coins have high market participants and you can ensure that there are people who are willing to buy the altcoins.

If you know nothing about that and it's better for you to get more information about that. That's another shitcoin. But again what we are talking about is just the re-consideration to invest in altcoin because it still has alot of potential consider about the chance to get the pump and dump.
The usecase doesn't mean a lot when it doesn't have a lot of users.

One can not truly predict the altcoin that will perform well in the future, sometimes an altcoin starts well and in the future when one must have bagged much of it, it sinks to the grave like $CET dealt badly with its investors causing most to be retk and will never recover again. I have been holing several altcoins and still praying for a better days to come.

Yes no coin at beginning and at the end will remain same forever. It use to change values some coins increase value with time and some use to decrease we only need to be patient for holding it the more we will hold so the more it will be good those who sell their coin at panic will surely regret we should only believe in worth of altcoins.

You have tried by setting your ideas but there is more to consider before holding any coins, yes one needs to study every coin before holding bur what happens when you hold and all of a sudden, there is token swap and you missed out? Am not saying holding isn't a good call, but the type of coins we hold matters, I hold coins like Bitcoin and ETH because they have proven to be the best. As for other coins am still checking them, because some can seem good only for it dump in price and remain dead.

Tezos was a huge disappointment to me. Although not as widespread as the ethereum, it has a very similar system. Still the price in places. Even the price of ATOM has risen. But TeZos does not rise. It's hard to make money from altcoins.

That is what everyone should do, people keep buying coins that they know have no future just to speculate with them because what they want out of those coins is not a good product or service, what they want is to speculate with the price and obtain profits that way but that is an extremely risky strategy that has been proven to not work during the last years of this market.

What you need to do is to select coins that you know have very good and capable developers that can make their vision a reality, if you do that and you can hold those coins for long enough you will surely get profits, unfortunately very few people select this kind of strategy because it takes a lot of time to make profits.

I think BlockV is a really promissig one, they work on projects, recently with ben and jerry, and have a working app.
The Dev is the one built Tether. is not nothing imo.
just people take little profits by 10% instead of seeing the potential. one this one, i'll say buy the dip.

It's best to sell your altcoins when the price is right for you. Do not get too greedy but also make sure you make a good profit. If you feel the profits are good enough you can sell. If the price drops after that you can always buyback. Only keep good coins with value based on what they can be used for a long term. EVerything else just sell while the progit is in the green esspecially if you have a lot invested. With smaller investment d you can take more of a risk and hold on to them for longer.

totally agree on vee undervalued a lot i hold it for a while and really confident 8)

If you say the two altcoins above are more profitable to invest, we need to try it first before drawing conclusions whether it's good or not. therefore maybe we can invest in two or one of the altcoins you mentioned.

I think the first thing we should do is to reconsider the reason why we think the need to hold any of those altcoins more than just a 'better than bitcoin standard'.
Also, an important aspect when considering holding altcoin is if that coin has a chance to grows and will be valued accordingly or not.

Totally agree on your thought but people doesnt recognize the steady upward trend, they want a pump like 300-500% growth in a week or a month. People do believe that these type of growth will be there in all of cryptocurrencies which is highly impossible. There are many altcoin concepts which is sustainable and have growth in the long term when the project is implemented so holders should think of all the angles before selling everything.

Every person needs a strategy in investing in cryptocurrency, it is very necessary to determine at what point we will buy coins and also sell the coins we have. Sometimes when the price of a coin that we have rises and has given us a profit, we actually choose to keep holding it because of greed to get a bigger profit but the next day when we see the price of the coin actually decreases and this is often the case here. So when you have made a profit it is better to sell it and not be too greedy.

i think it will be an alts accumulation during next 2 weeks with main cryptos mooving 10% range.

You're absolutely right but altcoin much decreased and the many factors that make a big 100 coinmarketcap all altcoin I am very hesitant to withstand a lot of projects that are difficult to pump hard enough ico price for the largest investors already out and selling all of its assets.

There's no doubt that holding some altcoin could be very lucrative and that explains why one should be careful in choosing the right altcoin to hold. In considering the right altcoin is best to check if the project has a real use case which is marketable in the present market and has the tendency to be desired by several people.

then i guess you know the one to pick up. not a lot have  a real use yet. or even are marketable.
Vr will be first alts to moon imo, as they can be desired and marketed by new generation in the next decade to shop, trade, exchange virtual assets and also real asset threw virtual connected, secured platforms like vatoms.

VR is the future but all the projects that I saw in previous years have failed. VR is now actively developing, but its connection with the blockchain has not yet been implemented. Of course, I continue to invest in such projects because it is not at all clear when the brilliant project will appear that will change the rules of the game in this area.

If we won't choose the right altcoin then it will be us who will lose the fund or worst even our hard-earned money, that's why we really need to be vigilant. Lets always remember, we should not go to war without proper training and enough bullet. So, always be careful and watch out how market works.

You say in two years if holding altcoin will be worth millions of dollars but what happens if the market is in a bearish trend in 2 years any altcoin will die like now all altcoins are making atl prices and if you bought altcoin last year you have lost thousands of percent this is what you call investment

A agree totally with you regardining holding altcoins.
If we consider how litecoin has improved in prices over the past few weeks, the green light is there.

We just need to do proper researches before investing, in other to avoid fomo and fud.
Always dyor.

Did you mean about the accumulation period? The prive moving range can't be a good reason to determine when will be the best time to accumulate more altcoin and just try to take any bearish market as the best time to accumulate more altcoins. it's really wrong to say if the bullish market becomes the best time to accumulate more altcoin.

when the market has not entered the bullish market we enter the market, and when the market has not yet started the beary market, we exit the market. I think that proverb can maximize profits, but it's not easy to find out, I think buying when the bearish market is an option, and I recommend to buy gradually

You can fool new users by huge marketing and by the end of its run, the developers will make a shit ton of money and the look for other ways to scam people, you cannot test the intelligence of the investors all the time, we saw many scams and you cannot find investors for shitty projects with advertisement alone, if you really have a working product approach angel investors rather than looking for investors in the open market and so alt coin market means it is a fine line as there are only a top ten market that can be successful even when there is a bull run in the market so select those wisely rather than investing in pump and dump shit coins.

I have always found interesting how most people only concentrate on the upside and how much money they can get by holding altcoins, when the results of holding altcoins should be clear to anyone, just look at ETH which is the second most successful coin, it is still giving losses of 88% to those that bought at the ATH and are still holding, and that is the second best coin in the market, what do you think is happening with the coins that are not so good? Yes some of them are giving 99% losses and some of them gave 100% losses and their investors will never recover their money.

Altcoin is riskier than Bitcoin because investors trust Bitcoin more. With the increasing number of scams on new projects and also the poor performance of many altcoins in the market, altcoin is making less and less attractive to investors

They can be considered if the market is in good condition but right now the market is not good enough yet therefore many of the investors are playing safe as they only consider investing in top 10 so the risk of their investment is not that high.

The two altcoins are ranking 200+ and 500+ in coinmarketcap therefore the risk of these two altcoins in this season of the market is pretty high compared to other coins that were favored by the big investors like bitcoin,ethereum and etc.

Most people do not bother themselves to think about all the things that could happen, they only see the positive side of things and while that can be a great personality trait to have in most aspects of your life when it comes to trading and investing that is a terrible trait to have because that means you are not going to evaluate the risks that you are taking in a correct way and when you lose your money you are going to wonder why this happened and while in that instance you will blame the coin in which invested the truth is that you are also responsible for what happened.

Holding Altcoins are really in need to be reconsidered because not only Bitcoin is profitable but Altcoins as well. Every cryptocurrency has the capacity and capability to improve their prices so whether it is Bitcoin or an Altcoin, all are worthy to be hold on as long as you have made the right choice of choosing a potential Altcoin with good credibility as well. Reconsidering holding Altcoin is good because we must value their existence in the market like what we are all have been doing for Bitcoin. We have a vast world of cryptocurrency which mainly or mostly composes of Altcoins so it is really in need to reconsider holding Altcoin like what we do on holding into Bitcoin because like it, Altcoins do also possess the capacity and capability to grow and improve its price attracting potential investors.
