Bitcoin pumped the there is massive dump shown in the Altcoins. whether the Bitcoin is now stable and mostly Altcoin are recovering with slow rate but atleast they recover. I think the mostly an altcoins are recovered on their previous rate in 1-4 days or maybe big pump also. I want to know your thoughts about this Bitcoin versus and altcoin. I know that Bitcoin shows the massive pump and dump at the same time but are looking altcoin give higher profit because they are less risk. What's your thought about this?

Take a look at the Bitcoin and Bitcoin Domain value. The change of Bitcoin Domains will help us to make the next judgment about the fate of Altcoins. I predict Bitcoin will rise first, then Altcoins turn. At this point, it is advisable to keep Bitcoin only because the possibility of price increases is too strong. After the Bitcoin Domain is reduced, we will consider which Altcoins are good to buy. I recommend owning the top 30 altcoins as they will usually increase in price before the rest of the altcoins.

It's quite difficult to determine the correlation between both but it looks like altcoins will be bullish when the price of bitcoin became stable. I have been seeing it a few times that when bitcoin up or down, altcoins will be also going down but when bitcoin becomes stabilize. Bitcoin has used as the main pair for all of altcoins.

I didn't see any chance for altcoins to be a winner in this case.

invest in altcoins is always a risk and I will not surprise if in long time (few years) close to 95% of altcoins will be just worthless.
I don't think there is the possibility for achieve more than bitcoin itself.
No one want store the last hype, but just a recognized system for storing value /medium of payment. Bitcoin can offer all of these solutions.

Bitcoin is dumping but after a few days it is pumping again. You will notice that the value of Bitcoin has been increasing since 2009.

Better to invest in Bitcoin than Altcoin. Because the value of Altcoin is not stable. New Altcoin is coming and old Altcoin is declining in popularity. Just a few days ago, the value of BCH was double that of ETH. But now the value of BCH is much less than ETH. Currently LINK, DOT these Altcoin's popularity is growing day by day.

bitcoin is like dollar. if you are investing in altcoins or trading altcoins, your main purpose has to be to increase your bitcoin amount. Because bitcoin always the one that drives the crypto market.

It is unpredictable how the btc versus altcoin market will move in coming months.
I have a feeling that bitcoin will be the first mover so till bitcoin achieves new highs there is high chance that most of the alts will range trade so in my opinion alts will make big moves only after btc settles after new highs.

No need to go technical. Might be this your first time to see such price movement recently so you are confused.

There should be no such thing in your mind like "bitcoin vs altcoin" during their upward and downward trend. Depends on what altcoin you are currently trading, you will really notice that while bitcoin is pumping, your altcoins can't ride the trend. It's usual. What you need to do is to think of a strategy for a situation like that since believed me, there will be lots of times you will see that kind of price movement while you progress in the crypto world.

Anyone that is not new to the space will understand the relationship between Bitcoin and Altcoin, it is a see-saw relationship, when BTC pump, Altcoin dump in BTC value but tend ot maintain their USD value, then after the BTC pump, Altcoin regain their value in BTC. having said all these some of these Altcoins are shitcoins and are going to end up dead.

Bitcoin versus Altcoins. This is just like comparing a team in the top four of the premier league to a team in the championship level. They are if different class, which should never be brought together for comparison. Yes, we all know that there are some altcoins bthat are doing do lately, but still you can compare it. Just a Bitcoin can buy millions of some altcoins if not billions self. Considering the period when Bitcoin has been in existence. 2009 till date. It's such a long time. And no altcoins has ever lived up to that. But when you look into projection, one can easily conclude that no other altcoins will be able to rise to that level where Bitcoin is sitting right now. Bitcoin against all odds has proven to be not just a stable coin, but also leading other digital currencies. With the worth of a single Bitcoin over $10,000.00. That's quite a fortune.

It is not really that hard to decipher. Virtually, 80% of altcoins are trading pairs with bitcoins. What this means is that, when bitcoin pumps, traders will close their positions and move most of their portfolios to bitcoins while alts dumps.

When bitcoin is in a downtrend, traders out of sentiments  close their BTC/Alts trading position and quickly move to tether or any other stable coin, to avoid being in BTC as it loses value, while alts still dump.

Bitcoin dictates the dynamics of many of these altcoins because altcoins are often traded against it. That's why whenever btc is stable, alts can now move at its own pace.

Bitcoin has always shown sign of leadership while altcoins follow. The recent price surge was as a result of PayPal integration of Bitcoin and some altcoins in their platform. This was bullish for bitcoin as everyone has been expecting the news in the past, we may expect more pump by early 2021 when this is actualize.
The reason why some alts has not been pumping is because of trend, majority of altcoins have their moments some weeks ago when bitcoin was consolidating between 10.5k and 11k, now it's time for bitcoin to shine.

September was a hot months for altcoins, Ethereum experience the largest transactions so far since the last bull run in 2017, DeFi frenzy woke almost all the alts, Link, band, Atom and top other altcoins were all pumped weeks ago. There's nothing bad for increase in bitcoin dominance

It is the why you see people telling you that get a bunch of bitcoin whether you have a lot of altcoins of your choice. Never disregard the power of bitcoin with your portfolio because it will save you a lot of value whenever it gets back the dominance in the market.
The proportion of bitcoin's pump and altcoins dump has always been seen but it goes indirectly sometimes. We may see the alts going up following bitcoin soon.

For short term traders, I see few altcoins with large volatility are best. Having said s, you will see a great influence on the price by Bitcoin. It is the major market-driven criteria for all other altcoins. In short words, altcoins volatility is getting decided by bitcoin price.

Some traders already know that if bitcoin goes up, altcoins will go down.  This has become a strong relationship, as traders will sell their altcoins to catch up with bitcoins when it goes up and when bitcoin sideways they start to choose altcoins as their next choice. But everything is need good strategy.

That's true. It depends on the alt you are following as each of them varies in the market performance.
A lot of them "can't ride" as most of them have no solid application and they are only relying with the traders.
The OP will realize later on that bitcoin and alt have their own market contributors.
And in terms of alts, it really depends on their respective development team.
How they are moving forward with their objectives and mission as a crypto project.

Yes. Since altcoins cannot ride with bitcoin movement in the crypto market, we should always think of the best move on how to make profits if we chose to trade in altcoins. Clearly altcoins won't win in this situation because its upward movement is very slow compared to bitcoin which is always leading in the market. So focus on the best strategies to make profits whether the market turns into bearish or even bullish.

Altcoins with low risk? Nah, both of them have a higher risks. If we tend to invest in cryptocurrency coins, risks are all the same.
 Bitcoin showed massive pump last time as well as some of the altcoins., whether you invest in btc or altcoins a good management is needed by an investor for handling it.
 
 There are also times that altcoins can easily predicted using technical analysis than bitcoin when it comes to trading. However, there is an explanation about why bitcoin is going up and altcoins goes down scenario and vice versa. It's a matter of dumping altcoins pair with btc.

Bitcoin is going stable after a steady growth but the Altcoins are still in a sleeping mood, whatever the growth saw in various altcoins that only pump and dump. So, do not take the chance for the holding of longer for the altcoins but you should take your profit at this peak.

Cryptocurrency have the same level of risk, and it gets riskier if you are dealing with the shitcoins.
Altcoins, compliments Bitcoin so you don't need to compare these two that much. If you see good altcoins to invest for then go ahead and don't miss that opportunity but I highly suggest to stay hold bitcoin because it will lead the market going up.

Bitcoin Vs altcoin, from views of things its obvious that bitcoin are more influentials than alternative coins despite that both are in cryptocurrency control or chain it does not mean that their competiting so high in cryptocurrency market, looking at price remedy or regulations it's clear that when price of bitcoin subsides in market it really affects the price of alternative coins, it seems as Btc is the bond that hold other cryptocurrencies.because its price rising determines the increment of other coins in price, and based on the awareness of Btc across the world makes alternative coins to be influential.

We have seen this before. When bitcoin price starts to rise, the prices of altcoin (specially those lesser known altcoins) starts to drop in price. This is because people starts dumping their altcoins and invest everything in bitcoin. Hence, the price of altcoin starts to dump down and that of bitcoin starts to go higher. When the price of bitcoin stables down, people starts to buy back their altcoins they have sold. Hence, we see a slow but a steady rise of the price of altcoins.
Yeah, altcoins might give you better profit, but they are MORE risky to hold.

Altcoins are less risk? Which altcoins are talking about please? The bigger ones are riding the wave with BTC, and I mean the likes of Ethereum, LTC, algorand, they are all going up as BTC ,their last 24hours is something similar. Then if you're referring to the smaller altcoins, everyone will be buying Bitcoin now that they have noticed that BTC is moving up.

You know that means a dump for smaller altcoins, they are the ones that will suffer this and not the bigger coins, those ones are already moving with the Bitcoin. At this time I will choose Bitcoin over altcoins, except the altcoins I have mentioned.

If you look at the chart of almost any altcoin - you can only see the price decrease for the last three years! Accordingly, HOLDing altcoins made only a loss for its holders!

I don't want to compare between bitcoin and altcoin because it is different. It is right that altcoin follows bitcoin movements, and if bitcoin now increases to the $13k, the altcoin will follow to increase. But maybe the altcoin increases will need a long time to grow and back to the last price.

The altcoin can give you a big profit, especially for the altcoin that has a good market position. Altcoin such as ethereum, bnb, and the other coin will take it's time to rise again, but if bitcoin price drops again, the altcoin will not have a chance to increase, but it will drop too.

Investing in bitcoin and altcoin will have the same risk, but I think you can select investing in bitcoin and use bitcoin for your main investment for the long term. The altcoin will be used for your secondary investment that will work in the short term. But that will be up to you because we have different strategies to make a profit.

It all depends on the risky assignment that you want to keep to yourself The whole cryptocurrency market is very volatile so for every investment you should consider the key concepts of invest what you want to lose bitcoin is more secure and risky than altcoin. Invest in bitcoins but it can give good returns but after some waiting other cryptocurrencies can grow better in the short term when you invest in other cryptocurrencies you can choose more at a lower price.

you tried to explain that Bitcoin is a rather lower risk investment than altcoins, and that is probably the fact, but one should bear in mind that there are different altcoins, and take longer period to draw conclusions
at the moment, Bitcoin is in the best position to grow, since there is a tone of positive news, but if you look at six month chart, most altcoins provided better return compared to Bitcoin, at the moment part of that profit is going back to Bitcoin, and will be back to altcoins after some time and Bitcoin rise in the meantime

of course, one should draw his own conclusions, and do research before investment, this is not a financial advise in any mean

There are a lot of altcoins that can now be considered  shitcoin thousands of these altcoins are already dead, but we still have altcoins that have  proven to have value in the community and they have platform that the community are actually using.

I'm not defending the altcoins but the market will give us the real picture and fact that the top 50 altcoins in the market have contributed a lot in enriching the Community, and I'm supporting these altcoins.

Yes, Bitcoins hasi increased a little bit but did not drag along the alts for some reasons but we might alts will follow after. Defi Projects or coins is heavily affected by red market in alts, and it might be the reason as well why some alts can't seem to recover

You have said something good to me hearing, strategy is the very best for this industry becasue knowing when Bitcoin value will be up and all others will go down will have some good profit if follow appropriately. Bitcoin is the lead in this industry and altcoins always follow  it volatility, with proper understanding of Bitcoin movement will definitely give that answer of Bitcoin vesus Altcoins. 

Though considering both, they are exceptional, but one thing have realize in bitcoin is that trend preach never give up, because you see it fall today, in few days rise beyond reasonable doubt, but when considering altcoin most of them later become shitcoin, but the exceptional one of them rise and give profit beyond doubt. In nutshell bitcoin growth can be cyclical in nature, but altcoin growth sequential and dump in a big way.

Though i might be right/wrong that just my view   

I don't think altcoins are low risk, i would say they are unpredictable. What is really fundamentally reliable is that is BTC and ETH

i believe soon a good and solid altcoins will follow the movements of bitcoin my friend
but a shitcoin will gone for sure,now its time for bitcoin show up

All altcoins are influenced of Bitcoin moves. But also all altcoins have their own price movement. The same as Bitcoin is influenced by stock movements but it also have its own path. All exist in the same economy.

Bitcoin is the king of the cryptocurrency market, all altcoins are dependent on bitcoin so I think that when bitcoin rises, other altcoins will follow suit.
However, the increase in the price of bitcoin is expected to be higher than that of the altcoin, so investing in bitcoin seems to be a better option at this time.

That's right, investing in bitcoin is a better choice than investing in altcoins at this point. Bitcoin is experiencing a significant price increase and all eyes are on bitcoin, temporarily leaving altcoins and investing in bitcoin seems to be the best option right now.

The market currently has too many altcoins and most of them are junk altcoins, but we cannot deny that there are many very good altcoins in the market. Ethereum is for example, it is second only to bitcoin and it has had quite a good price increase recently.
Bitcoin is very difficult to act as a store of value and a means of payment because bitcoin has many limitations, other altcoins will solve bitcoin's limitations.

I vouch for your opinion as altcoins in fact are more riskier than bitcoin with ETH being an exception as it takes ages for altcoin to recover from a massive dump wherein bitcoin does bounce back on top, most of the panic sellers ends up losing capital when altcoin slumps which is not the case with bitcoin. I would prefer bitcoin over altcoins any day.

Bitcoin and altcoins will not always go together, look now, Bitcoin has gone up, and Altcoins are now down,
Ethereum, Xrp, Ltc and other altcoins are suffering the same fate, but don't worry,
if Bitcoin is sideways, then altcoin season will appear, hold there is a good choice.

Bitcoin looks bullish and more stable this days,at this point I think it's better to hold more of bitcoin than altcoins, cus so many altcoins are bleeding badly, investing in bitcoin has always been better than investing in any altcoins out there, no matter how many altcoins that have come into the crypto sphere, bitcoin dominance has always been greater than altcoins, this show that it will always be the leader of the crypto market while other altcoins follow behind.

Are you sure that altcoin have less risk than bitcoin? Take a look with the DiFe price right now and compare with the price when it just launched? Most of them just dump in several days and I doubt their price will come back to their all time high.

Different with bitcoin, although its price just dump to $3500 but I'm really sure that bitcoin can back to its all time high because I look to its community and even most people now who just come to crypto will choose bitcoin as the first intention.

It is indeed will not always the same trend. When bitcoin pump, altcoin will have it's time to increase. We observe people always expect both have the same trend but the market is volatile so price movement is may increase and decline. So, imo, those top coins will have it's time to increase its value in the market.

Bitcoin dominance makes Altcoins to bow for any movement up or down. Besides, all altcoins are pegged against BTC and this also have effect on almost all of them. Home this will change in the near future

If you compare the two, of course Bitcoin is far profitable than altcoins. So it is risky to invest in altcoins, just look at the movement of
Bitcoin compared to altcoins. Bitcoin is safer because it recovers quickly, while altcoins are rising very slowly. It's true that some altcoins
have made a bigger profit than Bitcoin, especially some of the DeFi coins that are hype this year. But the risk is also quite large, because
some DeFi coins after the pump is dumped directly are quite deep and have not recovered until now.

I think its still better to invest in bitcoin if you want to gain and earn more profit knowing that bitcoin as of the moment are having its slow bull run which  I think will continue happening. Also, there are several speculations that it the bullish run of it will continue until third quarter next year which they are expecting to happening due to the trend of bitcoin bull run every 4 years. Altcoins such as ethereum, ripple and elrond on the other hand is I think good to invest with also.

If you are watching correlation between the major coins and bitcoin. Those major coins will have the same pattern as bitcoin but sometimes it will be also having the opposite trend than bitcoin.
Both were always correlated from one to each other.
It's not always about the momentum. The increase can happen anytime but this time bitcoin was pushing the whole of market.

If he can invest bitcoin from a few months ago and still hold it until now, he will make a big profit if he sells right now. With bitcoin price still increase, the risk of losing his money value will reduce, and the profit will become bigger. Some altcoin is also increased, but not many of the altcoin can increase this time because that altcoin needs more time to pull up the price to the high price.

But we will see another rally from bitcoin and altcoin because the price will not just stop at a price now. We can suggest other people, but we can not force them to follow our suggestion because they need to research themselves before they decide.

Yes, but if he wants to diversify the investing in crypto, he can invest in altcoin too. The bull run for bitcoin happens again, and I hope that bitcoin price can increase so high and break $14k. Ethereum, Ripple, and other altcoins try to survive and try to rise from the low price to the high price. But still, it needs time to see that will happen.

Actually I am seeing different because altcoins also grow as bitcoin did. Some of the altcoins are being paired with bitcoin and that if bitcoin rises its market then so does the altcoins no doubt about it. This base on my observation to eth crypto. This crypto had good market price before however bitcoin market crashes and all altcoins did same thing happen to eth. But ETH now slowly recovering aftee bitcoin did and same as other altcoins and that is why I had mention that I am actually seeing different as what OP had observe.

Altcoins actually carry the same amount of risk as bitcoin. as long as it's an unstable cryptocurrency, I think the risks remain the same. for now, bitcoin and altcoin users seem to be the same, because if they are using altcoins, then they are likely using bitcoin too.
In terms of price, it is not always when the price of bitcoin rises that the price of altcoin goes up, as it is today. bitcoin price went up quite high, but the altcoin price didn't go up or even go down. I feel that when the price of bitcoin goes down, the price of the altcoin will experience a big drop. yeah, but there were a few moments when bitcoin prices went up, altcoin prices followed after that, and this is what I hope to happen for now.

Not the same, altcoins always carry greater risk.
let's say news that the team stopped doing development, then the holder thinks the altcoin has no prospects in the future. And the biggest threat if the team suddenly locks large coins.

Bitcoin has long been abandoned satoshi without any further development to date, and you can see for yourself the volatility and trading volume of bitcoin over the years.

If you're looking at the fiat value then bitcoin is a better choice. But if you want to earn more btc, then I prefer altcoin. I remember when eth was almost at 0.1btc each and just last year ltc reached 0.014 each (correct me if i'm mistaken), just imagine if you bought 10 pcs of that at a lower price per bitcoin then sold it at that price. How much btc can you earn.

You will see that when btc goes up for some days this altcoin might fall but sooner this will start rising as well and that is why when btc rises thus many altcoins as well keep rising. Also having both like btc and other altcoin is better choice as you get to diversify your risk as well and have some altcoins too in your portfolio for long term.

How do you describe that altcoin has less bump and dump compared to Bitcoin?

Go to coinmarket cap and see top gainers and losers in the last 24 hours,and everything will be altcoins, basically the useless tokens which are bumped by whales.

Altcoins are more risky to hold,that is the real fact.

Bitcoin always dominates the all crypto market. Its dominance is always at high. The dominance of altcoins can rise or falls with their pumps or dumps but dominance increase with altcoin pumps does not last long.

Your statement is not correct because there is no guarentee that bitcoin rise results in altcoin rises. No guarentee that bitcoin fall results in altcoins fall. These two are positive correlations between bitcoin and altcoins. The negative correlation between them is when bitcoin rise and altcoins fall. With bitcoin and altcoins on the market, you can see all these three kind of price movements.

Bitcoin is the coin you can get more safe when you invest and if you want to get profit.

I don't see anything but simple correction, now bitcoin is pushing towards 14k, still think that bullrun isn't here yet? Think again, I belief that PayPal have huge effect on crypto market this time, it was a rumour a year ago but now that the news came from PayPal itself changes everything, it's always bitcoin for start and later altcoins will follow, just hold your ground people

As happened since yesterday when the price of bitcoin has increased, but there are only a few altcoins that have followed the price of bitcoin. Even though they usually do the same thing, what happens is that altcoins go down because bitcoin prices go up. So bitcoin is still the best choice for now.

Now bitcoin price increases and altcoins decrease in BTC pair but you can see the USD value most the cases remains same. This may happen temporarily when Bitcoin price raises. If Bitcoin price becomes stable, altcoins price have chance to raise. Although, i am altcoin investor but i belive strongly that only Bitcoin is safe for investment where altcoin is risky.

Exactly, even the pump of altcoins happen only if there is a change in BTC price which means they are still dependent on BTC, Alts on the other hand are usually a lot more volatile and risky they are not as secure as BTC.

If anyone plan to invest in Alts, please do your own research and be aware because it is not a safe haven like BTC.

Bitcoin, of course, wants to reach new heights, and I think soon Bitcoin will already reach 20k$, but altcoins are also growing in price, but they are growing much slower, so investing in altcoins is good option, and best of all, we need to invest only in the top altcoins, and so I think that altcoins will also show good growth by the end of this year.

$ 20,000 no longer seems such a large and impossible amount for 1 Bitcoin.
This is only 2020, the introduction of Bitcoin into large systems is just beginning, then it will only get bigger and better, I wonder what rate will be the highest for one coin.

E
Its exactly what was happening in the market now. Bitcoin price movement has a big impact on the price movement of altcoins too. For me altcoin and bitcoin were both risky but the mere fact that taking risk in bitcoin was more worth it than altcoin because of its attractable and amazing market value. Well aside from it, bitcoin were probably the dominant crypto in the digital market which you would never doubt has a good project that projected on this crypto coin.

Unfortunately, this is true. Do you remember how popular Dash was and how many investors used to buy it? Now, when this altcoin is down, a rare investor hopes for its further growth. Meanwhile, Bitcoin value is constantly going up (I do not mean only BTC price).

Altcoins, and the companies behind the projects are very vulnerable to regulation, Bitcoin is not. Bitcoin is the far better investment . Altcoins can make you more money than Bitcoin, it's true, it's just a lot riskier, and you could lose everything in an instant.

I think that our life will not be enough to find out what the maximum price of bitcoin will be) In the following years, the price of bitcoin will only increase, and this is primarily due to the fact that the number of coins will only decrease due to their loss. In addition, a very large number of coins are on the wallets and their owners do not want to part with them.

it is one of the features of bitcoin. even though it is pseudonymous and it is not known exactly who built bitcoin, bitcoin still exists and dominates crypto today. because time has shown. Strong altcoins like ethereum also need time to gain strong market power. so the key is in a quality product and enough time to prove that strength, a strong market will be formed.

while a lot of new projects are emerging nowadays, I think it's like fast food. must be enjoyed immediately, otherwise the taste will decrease.

btc or altcoin all carry the same risks. differences in price occur because of differences in coin supply and interest demand. altcoin features are even more complete than btc. but never mind, because BTC is not bad. so choose coins according to your needs and abilities.

The fact is Bitcoin is king and will not be replaced by any altcoin. Bitcoin has the brand name, and all of the institutions behind it. Bitcoin cannot be stopped so far most safest investment you can make over it. Bitcoin is most trusted while altcoins fails completely make you realize safety.

Bitcoin is the father of cryptocurrency and Altcoin is the child of cryptocurrency.
 Looking at Coinmarketcap, it is understood that the trading volume is Bitcoin 60% to 70% and the rest is Altcoin volume.
 If Bitcoin was not made, Altcoin would not be made.
 Bitcoin has given birth to cryptocurrency today and cryptocurrency is spreading all over the world day by day.
 However, it is also weak Bitcoin without Altcoin.
 So Bitcoin and Bitcoin are more about friendship than war.
 This is an opinion based on my personal experience.
 Thanks.

Bitcoin has a high reputation compared to Altcoins.  The "Bitcoin" brand is very well known and millions of people have recognized it so Bitcoin is a much better investment than Altcoins..  The price of Altcoins is inseparable from the role of the Bitcoin price, if Bitcoin is bullish then other Altcoins will definitely follow it.  but for now, you are given the freedom to invest in both (Bitcoin or Altcoins) because many Altcoins are also able to provide greater profits than Bitcoin (if you are lucky)..

If you are having trouble deciding on where to invest why not try to invest in both Bitcoin and alt-coin don't just focus on single investment,
Try to have spread out your investment so it wouldn't hurt so much if one or two of them drops down for sure some of them would rise up to recover some of your lost or maybe even give profit to you.
But if you would invest in both BTC and alt-coin then go with the veterans don't invest in new alt-coins if you want to hold it.

If it's investement, i'll preffer bitcoin. not say that altcoin are bad, but need more comperhensive research to invest on altcoins. it's also will depends on your strategy how you invest and how you make a profit

The whole market is volatile, bitcoin price has a reverse effect on altcoin price. Whenever bitcoin price pumps, the opposite happens to the altcoin market. What I think about is that most altcoin holders are dumping their altcoin to buy bitcoin, once the price becomes stable, people sell their bitcoin profit and buy their altcoins back at a lower price. So, both have an opposite effect on each other, but this is not the case some time.

There is no chance that I am gonna be letting my coins go especially that I have lost so much with them. I think I am gonna hold still untill the market for alts to fully recover, and even get profits from it then time for me to release them. I am actually staking pancake and bake which are affected so much by massive dump from alts.

2017 -  the entire crypto market is in the bullish together.
2018 - the same scenario but they all are dumping together
2019 - they are also started to recover together as well

But this year 2020, it looks different, they run in the opposite direction. Bitcoin dumps but altcoins pump and vice versa. This is to say that the market is really unpredictable, it could be one day we are reaching to $15k for BTC or it drops back to $10k again. The same thing that might happen to some altcoins, they'll go down today but not sure about tomorrow, that seems surprising everyday.

Good afternoon!  What are altcoins? 

Bitcoin maximalists believe that altcoins are an experimental laboratory for researching cryptocurrency technologies.  These technologies will be used to improve the bitcoin code. 

Bitcoin is a very conservative cryptocurrency.  It should be the best (in terms of technology). 

Large capitalization of altcoins ... Large number of transactions ... Large number of users.  In fact, this is research and development work.  The goal is to improve technology (cryptographic and financial).

This is the bitcoin maximalist position.☺

I will obviously invest in Bitcoin because of the low risk, and Bitcoin is the benchmark for all coins just as USD which ruled paper other money.

it is like you are looking at daily charts, some altcoins are still above BTC, looking at YTD yield, and yeah, Bitcoin had better October than most altcoins, but that is just one month, you should look at broader picture, and at broader picture most coins from top 10 outperformed BTC, with ETH included, in YTD yield
so, anyone could have their one position on this one, and momentum is currently with BTC, but altcoins are not down, except some that are hyped with DeFi, some of these would hardly ever recover

Most of the time bitcoin and altcoins price flows together. But recently bitcoin price showing good movement while altcoins staying at same position even going down. As a crypto user bitcoin is my first choice always. Altcoins price pump and dump massively at the same time, not bitcoin. And those are risky. Bitcoin is a safe platform for investor. So I can't agree with you at this point. OP, you should increase your English skill. It's hard to read and realise your post.

Bitcoin's domination is still very strong right now, but I believe its only for a while.
Fees are getting higher, transactions are getting slower, usability isn't getting wider.
Altcoins on the other hand are getting constantly updated

Regarding which is better to invest with now that the market is having a very good time on either bitcoin or altcoins I would definitely chooses bitcoin as being shown by its dominance in the market and how it really boost up other cryptos as well which it the very best in terms of investment.

why is everyone putting the blame on btc because altcoins are dumping . the situation between Alts and btc are now changed and they are in reversed position , btc is now the one that is stable and altcoins are now decreasing and recovering but don't let the situation take over at you because this can be an illusion , btc can collapse anytime and it's can cause more damage because btc already have an history  .

Alts are still less risky despite of thier dumped lately but itl take a long time for alts to give you a good profit .

With the exception of stablecoins, BTC is currently the least volatile cryptocurrency, so it is possible that every investor sells altcoins to convert their portfolios to BTC. This situation is quite similar to November 2017, and we have to wait for BTC to correct and go sideways before we see altcoins pumping.

The winner can be selected by one's purpose of investment. HERE are holder who does hold for limited time and some   does the same and it's limitless so they will defenately choose the bitcoin. As well as here are small investor and trader  they will choose the altcoins as theirmarket condition and it is perfect to give them profit.So the purpose does matters.

So far, if we invest better in bitcoin, altcoins only last a short time to have a high price,
while for bitcoin has a very high price from year to year even though bitcoin sometimes fluctuates in price,
but bitcoin has survived so far.

I would like to say that I would prefer investing in Bitcoin rather than an altcoin (except altcoins like Ethereum etc.). I believe that altcoins are riskier than Bitcoin. I can't trust an altcoin as much as Bitcoin. We know Bitcoin has been in the industry for more than 10 years and it is at the top among other cryptocurrencies.

The best investment is Bitcoin.

If your goal is to increase your bitcoin supply, then you can trade altcoins.  When the price of Bitcoin rises, the price of altcoins rises even faster.  When the price of Bitcoin goes down, the price of altcoins goes down even faster.  

Attention!
Altcoin prices may go down.

Of particular importance is the Monero cryptocurrency (0.0091 BTC, $ 123).  This is the best anonymous cryptocurrency.

I think Monero is a very promising investment asset.  

Monero is Satoshi Nakamoto's vision.  If Satoshi Nakamoto hadn't created Bitcoin, he would have created Monero.

If we are going to compare them Bitcoin is still in advantage because if you are going to check the bitcoin dominance it is still sitting at 63% which is still very high. The dominance percentage is already enough evidence how bitcoin dominate all the altcoins out there but if the bitcoin dominance will likely to decrease then it is the time for the altcoin to make their move if they want to catch up to bitcoin.

Altcoins are still very far to be compared to bitcoin not unless the big whales will shift their investment to altcoins instead of bitcoin meaning they will boycott bitcoin and they will pump the altcoins.

You can think whatever you wish, but there's no bitcoin vs alts in real time, maybe today bitcoin have better performance than some alts, tomorrow you will see bitcoin going down and some alts going up, it's a free market! Overall with bitcoin you risk less, volatility is good for short trades, it's good for long run... but it's what you can find in other coins too! Simply people shouldn't be obsessed just with bitcoin (but if you are that's not something bad), there are other good projects with great potential! Explore them, give them a chance, without risk you can't make a decent profit!

Bitcoin has consistently given indication of authority while altcoins follow. The ongoing price flood was because of PayPal combination of Bitcoin and some altcoins in their platform. This was bullish for bitcoin as everybody has been expecting the news previously, we may expect more pump by mid 2021 when this is complete.

The motivation behind why a few alts has not been pumping is a result of pattern, lion's share of altcoins have their minutes half a month back when bitcoin was merging somewhere in the range of 10.5k and 11k, presently it's the ideal opportunity for bitcoin to sparkle.

September was a hot months for altcoins, Ethereum experience the biggest exchanges so far since the last bull run in 2017, DeFi free for all woke practically all the alts, Link, band, Atom and top different altcoins were completely pumped weeks prior. There's nothing terrible for increment in bitcoin strength

my point of view bitcoin is always great  because in crypto everything depend on bitcoin, if bitcoin pump then we can see altcoins are bleeding badly but at the time alts are recovering but not alts cant do it. so i always prepare to bitcoin

Bitcoin fluctuation is normal in crypto market, the movement whether to increase it's price or decrease. But I don't think that bitcoin was stable, if it slips it's price, huge amount could lose and thus inversely proportional when it increases, also pumps with a great amount, but not being stable.

Bitcoin is the cryptocurrency that everyone knows about.  Someone heard about bitcoins in 2014 ... Someone - in 2017 (bull run, 1 BTC = $ 20,000, soon the price will reach $ 100,000, etc.)

Is it possible to create a more technological cryptocurrency than Bitcoin?  Yes, of course.

 Can you create a more hype investment asset?  Yes, of course (e.g. ICO, DeFi, etc.).  

However, Bitcoin will always be the first cryptocurrency.  Its capitalization will be the largest.

For long-term investments, you need to buy Bitcoin.

If we consider bitcoin or altcoins to invest now for a long time, I would choose altcoins because many of them are on the historical bottoms... Bitcoin, on the contrary, is at the level of annual resistance...

Bitcoin or Altcoin fluctuations are very stressful, but it can be used to make a nice profit. even so, slowly but surely, bitcoin will improve its price in the market, because Bitcoin is another cryptocurrency benchmark.

and I suggest when you want to invest in cryptocurrency, learn, and hold your lust because crypto fluctuates are very tense and tantalizing, and choose stable coins like Ethereum, Usdt, Dogecoin, or top 10 altcoins.

Bitcoin is safer than altcoins. Many altcoins are currently falling in price amid the strengthening of Bitcoin prices and large investors will certainly prefer Bitcoin, apart from the fact that Bitcoin is the main currenty in the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin has the largest liquidity so it is easy to make transactions

Bitcoin is the king of crypto world and will be that is certain. If you're looking last few months of bitcoin price stats it's clearly indicate it's set to hit new ath since Bitcoin has been on total fire this year. Investors and holders are already converting their alts into bitcoin and bitcoin soaring up.

Some altcoins are following the price pump of bitcoin but this time it seems bitcoin alone stand out. Thats why we have alts season like early of 2018 wherein most alts are soaring high while bitcoin experience correction after the 2017 bullrun.

Well lets just enjoy for a while the price increase of bitcoin and wait for alts to do the same. If the alts you hold is established then there's nothing to worry because it wont turn as shitcoin.

I think that the altcoins are risky than bitcoin because in the last year the majority of altcoins did not recover after a big dump in the exception of some known tokens with the big volume like dash bnb litecoin and eth ...etc on the countrary bitcoins always recover even if the price hits 5k and with this big pump recently i think the bitcoin will reach a higher price soon.

Tokens or Coins whose price does not recover after the dump are mostly shitcoins, it is better to avoid coins like this,
Bitcoin will remain the best at least until the bullish end to come, because there is a chance bitcoin will Bubble and altcoins will replace bitcoins.

Here my thought is trust, because Bitcoin couldn't dump below 12k USD for mining cost where some altcoins supply is unknown. Even some altcoins are making fake sold announcements. I support that altcoins are more profitable but Bitcoin is trustworthy. After a few weeks altcoins will pump as Bitcoin is now over 14k USD.

I believe it's smarter to hold a greater amount of bitcoin than altcoins.
investing in bitcoin has consistently been exceptional than investing in any altcoins out there, regardless of the number of altcoins that have come into the crypto circle, bitcoin predominance has consistently been more prominent than altcoins, this show that it will consistently be the head of the crypto market while different altcoins follow behind.
