many of us are aware that sometimes the coins that have recently gone up are quite drastic, even though we have made quite significant profits, but still hope that in the future it will rise more than the coins btt, doge and others rose from the golden age they have peaked now.


if that happens how long do you have to wait 2 years, 3 years, 5 years or...?

while new coins are popping up all the time, still waiting for him to peak again?

If the project doesn't die then it could go up. BTT and DOGE are good projects and you can see it due to their volume. Waiting for years is going to be your problem because it's a waste of time. BTT had shown significant growth last bullrun. I'm not an investor of it but seeing how long it will take, I would have sold it already in exchange for BTC.

most of the old players do the same thing, they sell other coins and accumulate it on btc and on ETH so they have price stability and very accurate predictions, and both coins have a huge impact on the price of other coins even though sometimes like TRX has its own market prey,  I hope the BTC is collected very attractively and even a citizen is used for applications when the price is fantastic, the spirit of collecting BTC from the bounty project or aidrop, boss

The only altcoins I have are coins I’m using for something. There are some unique services that are only offered by certain blockchains and are unable to be done on Bitcoin’s blockchain. I don’t believe in buying coins just for the greater fool theory, but if you believe in the blockchain there is good reason to support it.

Altcoins are more profitable than BTC that's why I have more altcoins than BTC in my portfolio but I don't keep all coins for long because some crypto projects are only good for short term investment only, at one point in time you have to let go before it's too late , it's always good to take profits

The thing is, the issue with holding altcoins is that they are more or less short term projects and they can pump and dump in a flash making it pretty difficult to hodl Altcoins for the long term. Many projects I can prolly refer to as "lottery coins" have produced large returns at one time or the other for a few people, but they are not coins that you consider hodling for the long term, thus that's what makes Bitcoin, Ethereum and a few other dex crypto better options than the majority of altcoins.

so you will sell existing coins get from bounty and airdrop programs and make coins that you think can be used, emm that's also a pretty good idea especially you are a donator whose coins continue to exist and disappear after you share them, good job for donator😁😁😁

I will not withhold coins from new projects. especially, for now, you can see most new projects just create hype then dump badly.
when I get a profit I will leave the market and switch to the top market altcoins. that's what I often do to benefit from new projects. although sometimes regret not withholding coins from the new project that made the pump after I sold it. but that's just a few projects.

indeed some people sometimes have optimism in planning long-term investments in new projects.
closest I believe 1-2 years of project development. if the good investment can change the initial plan to be longer if you see an attractive market opportunity.

New coins will only be pumped when the trend is still happening whereas if we wait for it to peak again in a long time I'm not sure this can last and usually new coins will die in the middle of the journey especially most coins now are memes that have no definite product .

So for me this won't last much longer, especially for years, it's better to use it when it's still a trend, don't just wait because you want to pump it again, it's still impossible going forward

New coin = new chain, I will always try to do that as long as the new legit coin has already been introduced to the market. it doesn't matter how much ROI can be reached by the new coins as long as im in profit and im fine.
I can get out from the market anytime as I want. There's no need to feel worried about that when you are in a big profit.
I can also get out from the market when i got profit and use some of this profit to invest in new coin.

When a project is coming in market with some real use case which will benefit uses the the early entry gives huge profit. Bit we need to recognise the potential in early stage. Altcoins are profitable but not as secure as bitcoin as they are controlled by team. I don't keep altcoins for years except the coin has extreme potential.
Simple thing to me, Make money from alts by trading in short term and convert it into btc and hold for long term.

It is difficult to determine exactly in time whether it will be in a year, 3 or 5 years, because it mainly depends on the price of Bitcoin. Big increases in altcoins and tokens occur mainly when Bitcoin's price bull run occurs. Unfortunately, it's hard to say when the new ATH will come on the BTC price, but I hope it will be this year. So my answer is that the best time to sell will be the next ATH for the Bitcoin price, and I think it will happen in the next few months.

I think if you are a bounty man or a trader it is natural that there are many allcoints in your portfolio, both large and small just for profit, this style is suitable for traders without having to hold coin.

hahaha, so you bought it at a high price, the spirit to keep it if these 2 coins I doubt will not go up in the future, but I'm sure for the next 2 years it will be difficult to surpass the new ATH again.

Active traders don't have to wait too long for a coin to increase, because they will always see opportunities on all the coins that are already in the crypto space, so new coins that have a good roadmap will always be targeted by many people like SOV, PYR, ICP and others too.

some people hold Altcoins for assets and wait for the price to rise until they make huge profits.
DOGE prices will not go down and run out even though there are many new coins popping up because DOGE coins are already famous and have a lot of fans, this is why DOGE holders don't want to sell all the DOGE coins they have.

Instead of BTC altcoins have a big use-case and big investor market. In the case of BTC, most of the people were holding it to make a profit when it goes up but for Altcoin, it provides a decent profit through trading in a very low pump dump because of its low price with a big holding amount. So, keeping an altcoin Instead of BTC is also a profitable side but always be sure to keep a separate blockchain coin instead of tokens because it has more chance to give a good return than tokens, In my opinion.

Most of the coins in my wallet are from shitty bounty campaigns. It's not that I want to keep it but it just I have no choice but to keep it because there is no market to sell it so I just let the coins buried there.
However, stuff like Doge and any old classic coins are considered have potential because it's been long known from the community and sometime these coins would rise up in the future.

Until the next bull run comes. I don't keep that much altcoins in my stash but I know what I'm keeping is one of the top altcoins and I don't have to worry about how long I'm going to hold it so there is no problem holding it because it's one that I can rely on for altcoins. Even if I have to wait for so long, I don't mind since I've tested myself to hold such coins in a long time and I succeeded by doing that. In that case, it means that whether it takes 1 year or more, that's totally fine to me as I hold it.

I hope-BCD-this year can break-ATH-at least $100-my hope.

Btt-doge has passed ATH-I'm not interested in that Altcoin, I'm saving some BCD for future, don't know 2-4 years, for sure I'm expecting a win.

I will say use cases and growth Imagine buying Ethereum ico at less than a dollar You will be a millionaire by now if you didn't sell Same scenario apply to fundamental strong coins Basically Eth will take time to turn 50% but alt can turn 200% in a short while just follow fundamentals first so you don't get rekt

When someone already sold his old coin at peak price and he knows that if the coin doesn't have more potential to go up and then he must jump to the another cryptocurrency to get the same way.
This is a speculative market when all of people in here to make money from the market. Some people were betting in the new coins caused by it has better potential than the old coin to grow.
Just look at how BNB was overtaking the litecoin in the past. That proves that if the new coin can be more reliable than old coin.
2 - 5 years of waiting? it's not a problem as long as it can make you to be the next millionaire.

Storing Altcoins certainly hopes that there will be a time when the coin will increase in price. Of course what is stored is coins that have potential, such as ETH, BNB and others that have a stability level of 2 to 5 years in the future, although new coins appear all the time as you say. If the coins are not useful, how can they be stored for a long period of time.

The simple answer of your question is because I still believe and hope that altcoins will be profitable in the future. So that is why I still keep my altcoins especially ethereum. I believe that ethereum will have a nice future because ethereum has a core value that is so important in the crypto market. Also so many alts that has a good value and a good project. It is just a matter of time until the price of alts will increase.

A good fundamental coins are not in peak right now, i'm sure there are more price growth in the future, so i will just keep my money to invest in good fundamentals like BTC,ETH,BNB which already have strong network and used anywhere. Although they will not make any crazy growth like other small coins, it give me more safe feeling about my inevstment and i don't have to check it's price every day because i know i'm holding coins that have a very bright future

Most people hold the altcoin which had good history.The altcoin will be considered as a good one.Only if that coin sustain in the market more than a 2 years.Some less potential altcoin will get out of the market in two to three months.Maybe a year,but you should not keep your investment on such less potential one.It will be identified only after good analysis.

if you hold fundamental assets as you mentioned. believe me, it is a long-term plan that is attractive and definitely profitable.
right now the market is looking good, most of the altcoins and bitcoins are also getting a pump rally. but the momentum could be lost for this year. we must prepare a strategy in case of a dump. but if you make long-term plans long enough, and are not worried about the value of your assets declining. no problem by staying focused on your current investment.

but sometimes even though it has lasted more than 2 years, some altcoins also don't show much development, so the price is also not good. therefore in investing in altcoins I think you can choose altcoins at the top of coinmarketcap, which have a large capitalization, so they will feel safe if held in the long term

Of course expect more profits than the base price. But in reality, things can happen the opposite of expectations. Personally, I would not hold on to a coin or token for long when the price has already increased from the base price. Except for coins like BNB or other coins that still have the opportunity to increase in price.

One of the best solutions is to just buy a stakeable token monthly and in the next bull run, slowly sell off the staking rewards. I'm personally staking NEAR and Celo. NEAR has some of the highest staking rewards and Celo is backed by the WEF and Bill Gates.

if the coin you hold still has greater development potential, you will definitely be strong to hold it even though the price is in decline.
but for coins that have fallen too much and there is no progress in the market. I believe the hype momentum that followed bitcoin could be the moment for us to sell it.
More simply, we have to know when we are going to buy or sell an asset. planning from the beginning sometimes is different. but we must be ready to make a different plan when facing the market. Most importantly, don't be greedy and panic.

If the conditions are as you describe, it's not only me who is ready to hold on for a long time, but you and other people will also be more prepared. This case does not apply to non-beneficial coins. But coins like ETH, BNB and other stable coins.
Of course I have prepared a second plan in investment activities to anticipate things that I do not want.

If the altcoin is meant to be kept then yes. Since Bitcoin it have been the hype to make other coins as a store of value.
Happened with Ethereum and XRP even though it is not their purpose. We want to see demand skyrocket and that's one way to do it. It's the sad truth that will be difficult to erase. We will just keep on repeating that same idea until maybe we got bored with it or a new hype comes out.
Before, I mostly use Ethereum to send money to anything, now I can't even use it anymore regretting the fees affiliated in it.

Highest staking rewards also translate to higher inflation rates, right? If so, then the token will be less valuable in future as compared to today, unless the team has other plans with the token and is constantly evolving the token then it would be valuable to invest into.
I personally like to invest in the newly launched tokens on the Binance smart chain and just hold them for a couple of weeks to max a month or so, if the price doesn't rise like 10x or so then I keep them for some more time and if the price go beyond my expectations then I sell the tokens, but this is a high risk high reward strategy and I have lost money in many scam tokens as well, so not a big fan of holding low market cap coins for longer time intervals.

The birth of altcoins is trust from the bitcoin blockchain.  It was born, adjusted and changed to meet the needs and overcome the disadvantages of close changes, most of which are practical utilities.  Each altocin project has its own mission about what it means to exist and continue.  What is good we often hold for speculation or profit.  There are a lot of altcoins that are becoming scapegoats for manipulation, hype, it's still happening.  Each one definitely has his or her own altcoin stack.  I don't think I can confidently go with Doge, Shiba... Lol

Agreed, the chance that already offered by altcoin to get profit is far bigger than the major coin, when we are seeing it based on the how much price that can be reached and then it makes sense if people are keeping their altcoins.
There are some cases about someone has become the whale caused by he was only holding is altcoin. That being said that if altcoin is just a way to be another millionaire for sure.
When you are entering into the major coins and you will always need to pay a lot to get good profit

There are very small amount entered to altcoin like Btt as compare to whole market and we believe that If some good money enter here we will see very Good profit from here. We can get even 10x. Previous pump cannot stop it.

There are such old altcoins, the number of which you need to constantly increase in your wallet if you want to get a big profit in the future. Everyone chooses their own coin to invest from this abundance at their own risk, but most continue to buy ethereum as a coin with great potential for growth.

Well, alt coins keep us busy researching right? New technologies coming up, new features, all the stuff you can change about Bitcoin or add to it. Alt coins essentially are the playing field for innovators and researchers. New stuff is tried out and you can see how it is received by the market. They are necessary to ultimately also improve Bitcoin. You could always implement successful and important new features into Bitcoin as well.

If it's old coins, sometimes I agree with you, but for new coins circulating at the beginning of this year I'm not sure they will be easy to pump in the future and even they can disappear in the market.

The coin will not die unless some major issues come up, a company security breach, an inside job and more. If it is still on the market and are being traded in high volumes then it is safe to say it will still go on. Even there are better projects popping up, even the system is slower than the new ones, the fact that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other top coins are still standing is a sole proof that newer coins cannot always win and they have still room to grow. I thought once that Bitcoin cannot go beyond 20k USD but my instinct proves me wrong or eth couldn't go beyond 1K USD. That's just says the older coins have good foundations and still kicking out of new ones.

And as for me, even the shittiest coins I have now still remains in my wallet, there was a time that this coin were valued at the peak, one of each costs around 800 dollars but did not managed to sell. So I'll just wait for the right time and if that moment do not come, I will just let them rot in there for a lifetime.

if you race only on ETH you will not think of it as a market panic because the only coin so it doesn't "bloat its head" , and it will cool down, hope you keep your ETH safe for the future.  hopefully not like "apam" cake

sometimes i also do it like you, but i mostly sell it not to hold it like you on the top coin but because the speculation is just rising and due to "end of the month" i cash it out slowly just to fill my wallet

If the world of Crypto is better known as "pancakes" whose manufacturing process must be burned like people pumping a coin price and after cold people still look at him

the good news today BTC is approaching 40 thousand even though it has not been able to reach 50 thousand but it has made some coins will go up too, sometimes you don't have to wait years for that profit if you buy a few months.

Yes, many tokens based on altcoin like ethereum,  polkadot,  binance smart chain are popping up everyday. It is not easy to create an altcoin like ethereum ADA etc, in just few days. If you have made a significant profit on a coin,  it is only logical that you take profit except you are been delirious think such coin will keep increasing in value  perpetually!

how do you know there will be a coin with extreme potential?  while altcoins have not been able to balance BTC in terms of the market, alcoins with extreme potential are only predictive so the margin of error is also large, both TRX and BNB they are still captivated by the ups and downs of BTC

all altcoins with good improvement will make good pump always, and that's what i know since i invest my money through altcoins,. but you know it depends if you invest in a good project coz on that way you can assure that someday when someone manipulated the price as long it's a genuine project or had good team behind there's always a chance for it to recover from the dip. So make sure that you invested your money in a trusted projects so that even you hold it for how many years you know what will happen and you still have a chance to make profits after all.

Well, thats the usual scenario we are facing. When we did invest on old altcoins and we had huge profits from it, we are still waiting for the old days where we bought at dip price but then the value of those altcoins we had invested aren't the same of today anymore.

However, like for ethereum which is so expensive today, we can still invest some part of it. The importance is that we always set a goal profit to sell it off.

The reason I keep altcoins is because the profits obtained are much greater than bitcoin itself, there have been many altcoins whose roi shot higher than bitcoin even though they were still young, not even 5 years old.

Most of us hold the altcoin because we are late to sell the altcoins at a high price or still left some amount to be sold at the next high price, which is not always happening. That makes us keep the altcoin and still waiting for the next bull run and if the price is down, we are willing to buy more amount so we can be ready for the next bull run. Maybe we can keep it for 2-3 years before seeing the price increases back or the coin will not have a chance to increase. But if that coin can increase, that will still be worth holding, especially if we buy the coin at the lowest price.

i do agree, we will got more profit when altcoin price pump . if bitcoin goes up around 8% , altcoin could more than it maybe around 15 till 20% depend on altcoin fundamental. look at RSR as an example since bottom at 0,0015 now current price around 0,0030 , it is rose doubled or 100%. Honestly altcoin will give more return if bitcoin price trend bullish.

At the end altcoin price will depend on bitcoin price, if the bitcoin price will continue to rise and reach another all time high, it is very likely that the price of other altcoins will also rise. but there may be moments unexpectedly that coin get pumped and get hue profit from it. but choosing coins like that is not easy, in fact many end up losing assets just because they want to believe in altcoins and want become earlier investor and tought they had diamond hands.

Because there are people here that no time to check coins or market from time to time so they choose to Keep holding and that is all they care and risk.
Daytraders are welcome on what you are pointing but Holders are now.
Depend on what altcoin you are carrying because only few altcoins that come to win over the growth of bitcoin these past months.

It is possible that they mistakenly assume that they hold the coin for too long in the hope of increasing its price as has happened with BTT and Doge coins.
Here's my friend. On the other hand, why many people hold new coins for a long time, because they see the coins have a chance to increase in price again.
Other than that, I don't know what other reasons.

It looks like you commented in a sleepy position, wash your face buddy and see what happens in the Bitcoin market, even Altcoins can't move when Bitcoin is still experiencing a decline in price.

I think, Simply because altcoins have a treasure trove of benefits that bitcoin has made available. It's too simple to walk. Some altcoins seek simplicity by stimulating the needs of the community and that satisfies them. That's how altcoins develop and it's wrapped up and blown up a lot. As a result, the stimulus targeting altcoins is varied.

Many people do not really have an option as the coins that they are holding are basically dead and since no one wants them they have to keep them.

Now there are other people that are holding their coins precisely because of the reason that you are stating but they are wasting their time, most coins base their value on hype and once that hype is gone in most cases it never returns which means that whatever money you invested in that coin is most likely lost, the coin still has some value and it is traded by some people so they keep hope it will recover its previous glory but it will never happen as there are hundreds of coins released each month and people want to invest in what is newer and not in some coin that has been around for years and that has given nothing but losses to their investors.

I keep altcoins for so many reasons which are best know to me. Since Bitcoin price had really gone far, there is no need need to keep buying it even though it still have good future move to reach higher value than what it is today. Since price of altcoins mostly follows the rise and fall of bitcoin, then buying altcoins especially the good ones can give greater results like 10× 20× or even 100× without much anticoagulation.

Bitcoin is doing well. As you see there's a quick rise that bitcoin has showed lately. Not all alts are good performers, there are a few of them that do good but not everything you see on them are going to last.
They're more volatile than bitcoin and for us to wait, you name your target until when you're going to hold those altcoins you think will make you wealthy.

As a bounty hunter I have held coins for quite a long time, even though at certain times the coin prices have started to soar and it is time for me to sell them, but because I am a beginner and not so quick to find accurate information, the coins I hold don't have any  value again.  so I learned from past experience, so now I no longer hold the coin for too long, if the selling value is suitable, then I sell it immediately.

I keep some alts that appear to be good ones or reasonable ones for the possibility of earning good profit when there is a bull season, although not all alts can give good profit because most of them usually die off earlier than expected, more reason why holding alts is not very advisable, most of my alts o get as reward from bounty,  few of them I hold because of the project, majority I sell because they don't appear to be good for long-term.

yes new coin popping up every day and many new coin fail every day too, therefore the risk of investing in new coin is very big, so I prefer to invest in old coin which are definitely increasing, even though it takes a long time (more than 3 years) than I invested in new coin, but not until 3 months the project has failed and I lost my money.

Well there are coins that are really good to invest at. Just be picky and do not put all your money to a single basket. Specially if you haven't reviewed your investment thoroughly. Cryptocurrencies are high in volatility so be careful to be liquidated.
I could agree that those coins that thrived are still worth hodling and investing for.

I keep altcoins to make profit and increase the value of my portfolio...
Not all altcoins will be successful in the cryptocurrency market, some will fail and some will bring profits, the secret to growing your portfolio is to not be greedy and to always take profits in the bullish market, dont wait till the prices of cryptos start to fall before you panic and sell your altcoins for lesser prices
You can always reinvest when the prices are lower

I think we also cannot generalize that top 50 in marketcap are the best altcoin to invest, we should analyze first before we invest. I've ever holding XRP and XLM 4 3 years ago and those coins are on top 10 marketcap those days, i bought around 4$ and the price crash in one day. The price didn't even recover to 1$ although BTC already reach it's all time high this year. So top coins in market cap doesn't mean it's always good for an investment because anything could happen in crypto

I have still a lot of altcoins that are in my wallet, hose altcoins are mostly from the airdrops that i have been participated since 2017. I earned good profits from some of the altcoins that i received but mostly of them until now have no movements and seems to be scam coins. I keep altcoins until now to make profits even though not that much but still gaining profits from them.

What I think about this is that the issue with investing with altcoins especially with those at the lower tier, is that these projects might serve as short term and there is a high risk on this. The frequent pump and dump on the coins and the possible influence Bitcoin gives to the alts is also factors that makes these altcoin very risky to invest. I keep ETH and BNB among other small ones. The thing here is, good research is the key to what good altcoin you can invest with.

I hold the coin depending on the progress of the project.
If the project and the team really work according to the roadmaps they write, then I will wait for it to be completed.
Because I am optimistic if the project they are founded seriously is not impossible the project has a good future.

I kept altcoin because I believed that bitcoin can be overtake by one of these altcoin someday! I know that bitcoin is the foundation of all crypto so it does't mean that bitcoin will be stay forever on the top of the ranks in cryptocurrency. Someday it will vanish on the #1 rank for me and one of my alt coin is the next one. So if you ask me what is alt coin is that? Its Elrond.

I still believe and keeping all my precious altcoins in my wallet from the bounty campaign i participated since 2018 up to now. I sold half of the rewards and put the remaining coins into long term plan as for the future profit like doge and some other coins who has a bright future in coming years.

Very true, but in recent days BTC has gone up so that it affects the charts of some coins, although the increase has not been able to penetrate the ATH of the heyday made by Elon but for some who buy at low prices for some time it has produced a "new car".

if seen as active traders, they never wait for the right time, they just make a profit by selling and buying new coins with mature predictions.

There used to be rumors that Dogecoin was a trash coin because it didn't have a limit but who would have thought that now it is an influential coin coin

It is difficult to make predictions ripe because the market is not a raw egg that can be fried until cooked, so active traders must also use their time to make profits in a matter of days.

Dogecoin is not trash, but a meme coin that has no real use, and if you read such rumors, then the person who said it I think doesn't really know Dogecoin, so do you know when Dogecoin was born? if you don't know try to search on google and read well.

There are some differences between coins and tokens. As far as I know tokens are given as reward through bounty campaign not altcoins.
The most important thing to hold a long term is to choose the right coin.  You will definitely get profit if the judgment is correct.

maybe in the past dogecoin was considered a crypto asset that did not have a viable future. a lot of people are talking about this coin meme. but now that Elon has started his drama, everyone thinks Dogecoin has changed the crypto market. Everyone knows how hype Dogecoin created in the market this year. we get something big from dogecoin.

In your title, do you mean altcoins?. For me, I keep many altcoins. I only keep altcoins that I made a research rather than keeping altcoins because of trends from people that  have influence.

More or less like that, because between coins and tokens there are clearly fundamental differences, such as coins that already have a platform and there are tokens that use their platform, so it's clearly different from tokens that only run on other platforms.

Admittedly or not,  having a mental long-term investment is the main choice in investing.

Yes, the picture is as you say. Almost every day there are coins/tokens that appear with a significant increase. But, there are things we need to remember in choosing a new coin if the project fails then it is delisted = loss and the project is successful the price explodes tremendously.

everyone has their own investment strategy, what you suggest is good, take advantage of every moment to be able to profit. but not everyone can do like you. people's tendencies are different, right? some like to trade and some like to hold back. some like to take advantage of the moment to buy gradually, some prefer to just hold on because they have got a good buy position.
I salute the holders, they are mentally strong and not easily shaken, until they actually reach the peak of the desired price, this takes patience. If I'm like you, I prefer to trade and take advantage of the moments of the waves.

Everyone has considerations to sell the coins they hold, the price increases very high due to market demand, so actually there is no limit the coin has finished its golden age, Doge and BTT still have good potential the price increases higher, I believe this is due to adoption Cryptocurrency is still in its early stages, so all possibilities are still possible in the future.

With the capital we have we are free to invest on any of the cryptocurrency available on the market. Particularly Bitcoin being high price, people prefer to invest on low price coins. This is one of the major reason why People keep altcoins. There are altcoins that has given very big return out of the investment in a much shorter time period. It is always a good choice to have multiple assets than everything invested on a single asset.

Ya i will wait 2 years 3 years it doesnt matter, im fall in love with most of my coins since i love the community and how the team visions realized.
Also, i think the coins still undervalued and the price can pop up anytime.

setiap orang memiliki rencananya sendiri, bagi saya untuk menyimpan altcoin yang pada dasarnya bagus, tidak apa-apa. yang menjadi masalah ketika kita membeli koin dengan harga tinggi ini yang berbahaya. Jadi kembali ke rencana perdagangan masing-masing

Honestly, I rarely and almost never hold coins in years unless it's from a bounty which is very sadly priced. I'm the type of person who doesn't want to be so greedy, if it feels like it's already profitable enough then I will sell it. as a long term holder, there are many things that need to be considered, sometimes we can get multiple profits but that doesn't mean all coins if we keep it for a long time will go up. Just do research carefully.

Just like BTC, I see an opportunity to increase profits, but not necessarily holding altcoins outright. I saw things go wrong when I started accumulating BTC and after the market started to boom I pushed investment into top altcoins. That's how I've applied to this growth spurt, and I think a lot of people see that, and they're waiting to be able to use it.

If you love your coin too much, then it will be very difficult for you to let go, because someone who falls in love with the coin, he will not see how much it costs, but he will see the name and positive side of the coin even though the community is not too big.

Altcoins have better potential for profit. That's why I bought NEAR and Celo. Both have staking and are backed by VC investments of millions of dollars.

Good factor from the coin you are investing, the more you engage with the development the more you really aiming for more,

to the point that you already forget that there's cycle where dump may take place, but along those lines since you really love your

asset then selling is not the first option but to continue buying and holding for much higher benefits.

The first thing to understand before embarking on any long term holding of a coin is know a great deal about the coin and its team, that is, the team have a big role to play here, if they are working then you can be sure that in the future it will pump again but if they aren't, then the token might be worthless, some team might even slowly abandon the project. Also know that, not all coins that pump to ATH will surpass that ATH again, hence the reason to be careful of the coin in question.
Also, with the rate new coins are coming up, makes it somehow hard to keep tabs of old coins, especially those coins whose team are not too active, therefore always sell when in profit to get your capital and profit, then you can decide to hold a small bag just in case there is a turn in event in the future.

There are two meanings I get from the topic you created, first I saw you ask why so many people hold new coins for a long time. Second, new coins keep popping up.
If it's true what you mean is like my first assumption, of course they hold the coin because they hope the price will rise at least 3 x from the initial price.
Before I give further response, can you clarify the meaning of the topic you created in this thread?

I am also one of those guys that is hodling his coins for a long time and of course i already missed a lot of opportunities already to sell the coins at their ATH and then buy them back afterwards way cheaper. Their are multiple reasons for that. Firstly i see investments into crypto pretty much as gambling and i only invest small amounts of FIAT that i can afford to lose completely without having any impact on my life. Secondly i have to hold the coins for at least 1 year here in my country or i have to pay taxes on the profits i made and i don't want to do that no matter what. The last reason is the most important one and it affects everyone, during the ATH at the coins you just don't know that they will drop 90% withing the next few weeks.. if would have known that before of course i would have sold them even though i had to pay taxes.
So now i wait for the next altcoin run because until i hold most of my coins long enough to avoid paying taxes.

I have seen many fundermentally based price pump and a shady coordinated pump !  The formar is as a result of true value been created , generated and applied while the later is simply a trap to grab money from unsuspectng traders and investors! Having said this, It usually take some effort and general support for a coin to rise in price. A pump coin bought at the top may never rise to it's ATH again. So,  there is no need keeping such coin!

The old altcoins that are already popular are coins that are always faster to follow the Bitcoin trend,
so it doesn't matter if we keep it too long or keep it waiting for the Bitcoin pump.

Always my choice is perfect trading, long time holding is not my preferable system. at the end lot of altcoins are live in trading sites from where we can buy best bulling cryptos for sell in near future to earn lovely profit.

Depends on the perspective of the users but I think it's more on greed than really supporting the coin. Usually those users who waited 2-5 years were really a big investors and like me I don't do that of course I will not wait into something that I'm not sure what will happen, so it's more about being greedy than really supporting and hoping for the coin to pump like hell.

Everyone has a different version of trading, there are those who hold Bitcoin for the long term and trade with Altcoins for the short term, because every trade is for profit and the strategy is within each.

It all depends on the project which you are holding. If it is still active and updating the community daily, then it has chances to go up. But If a project is pumped in past and again dumped and their team members are not updating the community with new news then it will never pump again. In case of Doge the Elon Musk shilled about it. That's why we saw a pump.

yeah, this is what I'm thinking of all night long. Been there, done that. It's a dilemma for me. However, I've never held a project that I don't have faith in it. I only held to a project that I have confidence would be there for a long time run. I'm not a short-time trader because I'm not good at trading but I enjoy analyzing a project with good fundamentals and team members. Not seldom do I feel nervous to trade, that's why I prefer to sell it when I think it's near to its full potential and at the right time. Silly maybe, but it's only me.

I partially agree, are altcoins big profits? sure, but there are thousands of altcoins you have to choose right to achieve big profits but the risks of altcoins are also huge. I also believe altcoins have a future if they fit in and solve the problems that remain in niches. While, bitcoin is unique, bitcoin accounts for more than 60% of the total market capitalization. This is very important. Personally, I would choose both to invest.

You have to analyze the market properly and hold the currencies if you become greedy you will lose everything it is better to hold the altcoins. If you choose the right currency you will notice the benefits and the risk is much less if you wait a long time you will get more profit than expected.

Somewhere around 10,000-15,000 different altcoins and tokens exist as of now. Out of them, I would say that 100-200 may be having good future potential. In my part, the only altcoins that I hold in significant numbers are BCH and ETH. I would like to hold some ADA as well, but now it has gone up by too much. Unless there is a big correction with Cardano, I don't have any plans to invest in this coin. One issue is that I need to create the wallet, in case I want to own ADA. Creating Cardano wallet has easy BTW, compared to the early days when we had to install Daedalus.

Ada's price goes more than $2.40 back in May of this year, so the price today could be the lowest possible as you could get as it's like the correction price. You may not see it dip below $1 but you can keep waiting who knows, a bug could be discovered and the price could plummet.

If there is a token to keep, It'd the ones I could lend or stake on DEFI platform. There are so many of them that you could profit from APY like WAVES or EOS which is cheaper.

It would be good to know that long term hodlers are really profiting very much, take for an instance BNB was around $20+ as of last year, checking the prices movement you will see $BNB hit a all time high of $700+, definitely who hodl Binance right from when it was $20 last year would surely be having insane gains, well for me I think it would be better to have a take profit for altcoins because price do fluctuates you can certainly make a cool profit and still loose it  to the market except you intend on holding for years or you strongly believe that the project will do better in future.

This is what people in the crypto world want, significant profits are not enough, instead they hope the price can match btt, while doge was at a pretty perfect bargaining price, unfortunately the price couldn't be maintained.

Most of these coins are able to grow in the next 3 or 5 years, meaning that the process of strengthening in the market will take quite a while, given that so many new coins are emerging and are not able to provide meaningful value for people to invest.

To reach the top of the best coins, it takes a long time to fight. Otherwise, the coin will not last long in the market at a stable price. Something that starts slowly, will most likely last a long time in the market and the price will remain stable under any conditions.

Long term investment as you said is something that is certain to be profitable and will always increase in the future, but what is certain is the coins that can produce clearly bitcoin and ethereum and probably a small number of the best ranked altcoins.

but if anyone wants to do daily trading or short-term investments there is also no problem if the coin movement is very active and can take from the difference that occurs, but right now the situation is indeed not improving and the analysis can be wrong it can be detrimental.

One of the other fundamental reasons why I'm also still holding onto the altcoins I own today is, it's because the demand for them in the market is still so great. In addition, when I searched for information about its development on Telegram, the team provided quite interesting information. One of the coins that are growing quite fast is Citizen finance. a few days ago the price was pump, and it reached quite a high price. well, there are still many projects that have such potential. So, choosing to hold potential coins is still a pretty good decision when you know where the project is going.

These coins are worthy to hold even it takes long period before you can take profit because btc and eth are already well-established and proven to be a good investment.

Aside from btc and eth, I only keep coins that has potential and likely to grow in the future. I prefer the coins that already existing for years and though I also have new coins/tokens included in my portfolio but they're only few.

Im holding to gain in the future with a set price on when to take profit. Then repeat the process of buying again (at low price much better) then hold and sell.

why keep it when you're already profitable, just sell it all later if it goes down buy again and go up a little sell it, don't need to think too much about it

Procedure that is quite tested to keep allcoin, there is no best patience to get extraordinary results, sometimes some people will feel the need to learn to you

you can sponsor it up to ±ATH $100 BCD price by joining the pump and dump program, achieving expectations with their support

Last year I didn't think BNB could go that high. at that time coin exchange was not so popular, right? but look how fast the trend is changing, and coin exchanges are starting to get more attention, even being traded globally on other potential exchanges. indeed there are projects that run fast and slow, sometimes I think that luck also plays a big role in this ecosystem, too many surprises. even projects that we consider bad can go up significantly, and vice versa.

learning the basics sometimes requires a teacher to learn or specialize, some people know that by learning autono but it requires careful observation and extraordinary flexibility, both btc and other allcoins

Most altcoins has good future of doing well with great profits for investors who invest in it. Altcoins is another coins just like Bitcoin which had done well over long time of it's existence. The choice of Knowing which altcoin to invest in, is the major problem of investors trying to flitter a futuristic coin from meme coin without life. A lots of altcoins are in the market with good interface and developers presenting promising advantage for investors who buy the coin, increasing the risks of investors of knowing which coin that could be successful in the crypto market.

There are top-rated altcoin that must be stuck into and be kept. Altcoin like ethereum,  polkadot,  bnb are believed to rise in the future.  There are other type of altcoin with potential e. g Dodo,  xrp,  etc  But other altcoin that are trending coin or experimental altcoin should not be kept in my view!

it all depends on the assets and planning of the investors themselves. we will not know how investors make their investment plans. he may indeed have long-term goals that will give him a greater advantage.
all of that happened because of the belief in the project he supported. if for a new altcoin I'm sure such an event will not happen.

I'm holding altcoins because at least it's not very smart to invest all your money in one asset. I'm holding everything in ownr wallet but i'm using only coins that been here for a while like ETH, LTC, BCH.

I hodl my coins because I have the believe that someday it will be worth more than the price now, its just like asking a bitcoin hodling why he's still holding unto his coins, selling at a low price is always regrettable alot of people can testify to that, which is more reason why hodling tends to pay more, even CZ once wrote on twitter that "if you can't hodl you can't be rich" and it's actually true, it doesn't matter how long you hold as far as you believe that the price will be much higher in the future then that's a more reason to hold.

Agree with you. If anyone has the plan to hold altcoins then he/she should choose those top rated altcoins and also those alts which have higher potential to increase in future. But I don't think dodo have higher potential to increase like the other alts you mentioned. Investing in new coins can't be worth always. And trending altcoins can be kept for a short time. I hold few alts like LTC, TRX, ETH as they have higher potential to increase.

new coins isnt a threat to old coins that we have if that new coins are only a meme or junk coins and if we believe that old coins that we have do have a certain purpose .
 there is no exact time frame if how long we will wait but for me i can wait until i earn like a thousand dollar or more for each kind of coin i own  because for me that is already a good amount .

old coins usually have strong fundamentals and also a large community so that old coins can last quite a long time compared to new altcoins that are popping up on the market today, maybe new coins are only suitable for short-term investments or use the ping pong system in trading, Usually new altcoins have fomo after being listed on the market so many people buy them but new altcoins are very risky for us to hold for a long period of time because these altcoins can be at risk of losing price (worthless) again.

yes mate old coins exactly work like this and if there are bad old coins that are only a few but today there are so many bad new coin and only few are good .
their price only depends on the current hype so if we invest on them we make sure that we monitor the market frequently so that we can trade and exit .
 They are not worth to hold for too long because once this hype is over they are also over .

If me i will sell if there are urgent condition or maybe it can give me profit. That is why sometimes i regretted why i made that decision because sometimes my coins that already sold really get pumped but i don't have any other choices than feel grateful with it, so i am not wait for years, as long it profit maybe good amount of money and worth of waiting, i will sell my coins.

Ethereum has that potential but don't you think bnb will be affected with the recent Binance developments and likelihood of its current CEO stepping down?? If these don't affect it Binance coin will be among the best coins we have on the market and am going to be securing some.

How do you determine the potential because we have many good projects and no-one ever talks about them.  Potential investors like Elon are out there drawing support for meme coins which are not big on innovations.

someone saves altcoins maybe to make long-term investments, because a trader may have already done research on the chances that some types of cryptocurrencies will return to set new records.

Being patient is a key factor in crypto investments. To be sure your that you have chosen the right altcoin and to be able to estimate the pop up time you need to know their roadmap, their goal, and they have to be transparent unless you wont be able to track them. In any case if you are looking for safe and long term investment, I recommend you stick on the well-established altcoins and has been around in the business for several years already. Very good examples are ETH, LTC, XRP, ADA - my portfolio is packed with these coins. I am also keeping a fair amount of Stakenet's XSN in my bag. An underrated hidden gem which I believe will going to pump real big in the coming months.

I sometimes still hold altcoins because I see the huge potential in these tokens, I'm here talking about the long term and it's all been proven in some of the tokens that I hold reach their ATH

Personally I would hold some altcoins that do have good prospects like eth. We know that eth has a good and stable price. It's true that not all altcoins are good for long-term investments, therefore for other coins which I think are still relatively new but have good prospects, I will sell them anytime if I feel the price is good. We know that it is true that currently many new altcoins are emerging where we must be able to choose a good coin in the market. So indeed, with this many new coins, we must also be able to select the coins we will invest, which coins are good for long-term investments and which coins are good for short-term investments.

It depends on the coin, every coin is different from the other coins some coins get a pump when they hit the market, some coins took a long time, sometimes it even reaches years to develop and gets pump in the market, so if you are going to buy and support a coin be sure to be ready on the time frame where the coin will get a pump, I am holding coins that I thought is ready to pump but until now nothing happens.

sometimes being the next billionaire is full of careful speculation, sometimes speculation doesn't work because certain people appear who influence,when it comes to BNB sometimes it's beyond speculation.

most people don't take risks with new allcoins, except they are more confident in allcoins ranked 2 to 50, although sometimes there are coins that last a long time even though they are new

Sitting tight for quite a long time will be your concern since it's a misuse of time.I trust the BTC is gathered alluringly and surprisingly a resident is utilized for applications when the cost is phenomenal. I don't keep altcoins for quite a long time with the exception of the coin has outrageous potential. Straightforward thing to me, Make cash from alts by exchanging present moment and convert it into btc and hold for long haul.

some new projects with long-term potential are usually very aggressive to develop cooperation with the exchange. because they know it's important to build communities and markets. many partnership events strengthen their communities and markets.
actually, new projects with long-term potential can be seen within 1 year of their development on the market.
but most are looking for something that is not risky. because many top market assets are worth investing in. Why should you choose an asset that is too risky?

Not risky means Bitcoin especially when the prices are starting to climb after it's been at the bottom for months. Some of us are also liking to trade our BTC to altcoins if they see some developments to a project or when they figure that the price of the altcoin is nowhere else to go but up. I have bought some altcoins countless times in the past and have made it doubled sometimes 5x if I just hold it for weeks when there is bull run.

Talking about Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Matic, TRX I am ready to wait as long as it will be required to have a big new bull run. But in terms of altcoins that I don't really believe in, I am used to selling them as soon as I see them decreasing by more than 5%. I don’t see any point in holding not very promising altcoins. They just  may not recover after the next big bear market,and you will be left with plenty of useless coins.

Of course everyone has different reasons why we have to keep an altcoin for a long time, but behind all the reasons, of course, profit is the main factor for us to hold an altcoin, just like I have held btt and tron ​​for quite a long time and if you see that the two altcoins have fundamentals and also a strong community, of course I am very sure if later the prices of the two altcoins can be quite high, as happened to Dogecoin some time ago, can you imagine how much profit you get if you buy Dogecoin when the low price was $0.0024 last year and held it for only a few months? and those are some of the reasons people hold old altcoins instead of taking the risk to hold new altcoins that do not have a clear (fundamental) future at all.

Bitcoin and altcoins aren't the same. Different altcoins provide different use cases and features. Most people invest in those coins because they want to make quick profit. If the project or the coin has good development and community, highly likely the project will succeed, causing the price to go up. Hence people hold those altcoin hoping to make some good profit. Once they make the profit, most of them go back to bitcoin. This is how the market usually works (and why you will be seeing that when the price of bitcoin is bullish, altcoins don't seem to have the same bull run).

You have to update information including liquidity for coins that have been added to the portfolio, many changes occur in projects without us knowing and there are even projects ending in scam, if holding top coins maybe you can check the portfolio because your portfolio balance may have increasing market growth effect.

That is the ideal world we are dreaming of. In an ideal world every alt coin would offer genuine features, but that is actually not the case. Most of them are copy cats that have nothing new to offer and just are out for investors money and grab some quick bucks. There is a very little number of alt coins that is really worth investing in because they do offer genuine features, with anonymity and privacy features being at the forefront. Anything else isn't really of utter importance to the users.

I also keep some old altcoins like btt, aurora, bnb and ethereum. Of the four altcoins that I still hold, I think that I will have the opportunity to profit in the future because I see the potential of the Altcoin. not only see the price which is still low at the moment, but I see the potential that the altcoin has for the future,

Storing altcoins for a long time is a big advantage because if the stored altcoins have future value then it is possible that the profits achieved exceed 100% of the profits. for example, those who held long btt some time ago, some made a profit of up to 300%

I will not hold those altcoins after a pump if they have no active ideas and goals. I will only invest in active projects, whose team is working for project success and have a good community. Must get full information about project and team before investing in project.

Keeping altcoins is a very lucrative way of making good profit in a bull market if the project is a good and promising project. Altcoins that has good marketing strategy, relentless team/developers and are market driven will be having an outstanding place/price in the Crypto market cause they will be having supporters to help the project succed.
How long will it take before significant changes will affect it's price for profits to be made. Looking at Dogecoin for instance, since Elon Musk made a tweet  on Doge coin, the entire market placed their eyes on Doge, this is because a wealthy person has spoken about Doge, what if there is no one speaking for others, will there every be a quick rise in the price? That is why, selling of altcoins for Bitcoin or Etherium is a better choice of action.

Aside from BTC, there are various alts I hold specially those with utility ones. I accumulate those coins who for me have a value in building the future of technology and those coins who aren't done with developments yet. I have been holding my coins for over months now since bull run happened last year. Yeah Alts have really some big opportunity to have that parabolic increase of value within years of holding specially if the team behind it is doxxed and commited to their project development. Its just hard to find some newly established one and as the crypto space is full of scammers, its hard to trust those new ones.

Investor/Traders generally believe that good  Alt coins give huge profit (to the extent of 100X) during the Bull Run and it happened many times in the past. Polkadot, BNB and ADA and many more  are good examples. Hence, investing in alts is more profitable compared to Bitcoin but we should learn cherry picking and invest only in those coins which have devoted and Professional  project teams and they have good use case, as well. I think FTT/FTX is also one of those coins which can grow many fold in future. NOT A FINANCIAL ADVICE. DYOR.

The fact is that everyone has this desire, they will not feel enough for what they get, this is common for everyone, many coins are currently increasing drastically, but are not able to provide maximum selling value.

Doge is an illustration as an example that they only go up temporarily, after that they fall back very quickly, I think in the next 2 or 3 years the coin will have a maximum selling value, if for now they stay at the same figure.

I've a bearish perception for 2022 for the entire crypto matket, taking a cue from the last bull run in 2017. History has a way of repeating itself. I don't see this circle to be any different. About why anyone keeps altcoins – it's called diversification of portfolio. By the way, not doing that will mean owning only Bitcoin. Remember that every other crypto that isn't Bitcoin is tagged altcoin, including ETH.


Dogecoin isn't doing badly in the market if you want to draw a comparison between it any many alts, really. It has even surpassed the price appreciation of XRP when you crosscheck historical data in terms of ROI within this period. I ain't writing Dogecoin off. At least, not yet now

many of us are aware that sometimes the coins that have recently
For now, there is not a single coin that has gone up drastically in the market, in fact the coin has not been very stable in recent months, it is true that Dogecoin rose drastically yesterday, but only lasted for a while, not to mention the age of the coin is still very young in the market.

I agree that in the next 2 or 3 years, there will be coins that will rise drastically and that is after they go through a period of exploration in the market, so we need a good analysis to invest now, so that 2 or 3 years later we can make a lot of profit.

it is human being , greedy will always be  their  characteristic and no one could change except their self. profits more than 10x even not enough and want to get 1000x and when it come they still want more.


if they sold doge at 0,7 maybe they will get maximum profit  but due their greedy maybe its value only growth 1 or 2x only. take profis when price hit peak was our purpose why we trade in this market.

if that's your reference, hopefully you can use some good coins in the developer and I hope the xircus coin that you follow in the future will get a good value so you can hold it for a long time

That's a brilliant idea, so you don't stress too much about controlling the number of coins in your wallet, just focus on them, so that your time is put to good use.

knowledge and experience never betray their master, and I understand enough about the conditions that occur between allcoins and some people have to learn from you how to secure coins and assets in the future

your experience is quite good, but it is not accompanied by more knowledge in the field maybe in the future you have to prepare administration to manage governance in preparing potential allcoins in the future so that you get many opportunities

if you play trending in the short term you have to read a lot why in 1 day you can get a pretty satisfying profit, but if you sell in the time period you have to look at opportunities, not just analysis.

now you have learned a valuable lesson. Indeed, from the new projects we are working on, many of them become trash coins, so we have to be careful if we are going to hold them for a long time. or maybe there is another way, namely by converting it to bitcoin or ethereum major coins, that way we can simultaneously invest safely even if held in the long term

The goal is only one, want to get more profit than expected. The coin you mentioned above have made huge profits when they peaked some time ago. Just watch how the price of dogecoin soared, but after that the price of doge back at low prices and there is no sign of increasing again. Trading in crypto is not only seen in terms of how much profit you get, but we must be satisfied with the profit that are in front of our eye. I'm sure there are so many greedy traders who regret not selling the coin they were holding when they were at their highest, so they have to wait a long time until the price of the coin they hold increases again.

Indeed, when we want to invest in new coins, of course we have to be really ready to take risks and it's not easy for sure,
even so in investing in popular coins there are still risks but maybe it's not as big as investing in new coins,
What is clear is that before we make sure to invest, we need to do research and analysis first

It happens with many of us that we could not book the profit at the right time even I have several coins that are now very cheap earlier they have good value but due to more greed, I lost my profit that I can book so holding it. I would say as long as one has the patience to hold or back up money to hold and there is no time frame for it. We all hope that one day our coin that we hold it for long pump again and give us profit until and unless we have been an emergency to sell it but we should understand we should have expected from the only potential project where dev is still active otherwise sell it.

Well right now i did hold my coins more than 3 years. I also never regret my decisions until now cause i do knew what im holding. I keep following the news on my coins and i do think they will did really great in 2022 so i still hold it till now and hope i it will be bloom in 2022 as i believe.

not everything we read is in accordance with the events in the market, sometimes we have done a good analysis and we still suffer losses. Therefore, in my opinion, not only by reading and analyzing the market, but also by monitoring the market every day to be able to achieve big profits

ETH and BNB are very potentially altcoin investments based on project development and innovation scope. On the other hand, If you are seeking a new altcoin project with small investment, should check detail project information and development plan to make sure it is robust roadmap and project innovation. hence, if lucky will receive big profit in the future with low investment fund.

I don't keep all altcoins, I am only holding the most promising altcoins. There are too many altcoins right now, they are very different, not all can be worthed to keep a long time. For new hype altcoins, I will trade daily or weekly. And for low caps altcoins that I got from bounties, I will sell directly once I receive them. I will consider keeping for years, only a few altcoins such as ETH, BNB, DOT, TRX, and etc.

Just like you, I'm also holding mix old and new coins but I don't have any time frame until when I still hold my altcoins, what I consider most if seeing already a good profit, I sell them immediately. Holding altcoins have no assurance especially for the new projects, it was really a risk-taking investment and sometimes we ask for some luck ;D.

Well, sometimes we got lucky and sometimes we're bad and disappointed. It was normal and if we act absurd, the more we compromise our funds and even to lose more.

I think it's true that playing on cypto has risks and must be prepared to bear those risks, but the idea that you apply for some people to play it safe they will look for the top 100 list board because it has great convenience

sometimes keeping old coins has three possibilities, it can survive the erodes of time (new coins appear) it can be erased from the market list due to the lack of a good market reaction, sometimes it slides down and is still there

if waiting for Altcoins like Aurora and BTT it looks like you bought them to decorate your wallet so that it is not empty, while ETH and BNB can be used as gas or fees, your idea needs to be applied to those whose wallets are empty

There are people who will work with this kind of strategy while others have different interpretations,

the best thing to do is not to stop doing your research and keeps yourself updated each time you

participate with any project. it's accumulate knowledge and it helps to lessen the chance of losing.

For traders who want to profit in cryptocurrency, they must be selective in choosing the coin to be invested. Although there are currently thousands of coin circulating in the crypto market, but some of them end up being trash because they can't compete with other coin.
To avoid the three possibilities you mentioned, traders should choose old tested coin, crypto assets with large capitalization will provide convenience in investing. ETH, BNB, ADA are very worthy to be included in the investment list, trader can also consider DeFi, because DeFi has very strong fundamental, and the DeFi system has the goal of making public financial services easier. The demand for DeFi really exists, the market is clear and continues to grow along with the use of crypto.

I think sometimes the antithesis of analysts and research is that something like someone's tweet can influence a certain price

Why do you think like that? and if I may suggest a little for you, if you want to answer all comments from other people, you can answer them at once by separating comments one by one in one post, so that it looks neater and easier to read by everyone in this forum.

It depends entirely on the type of project, future plans, and the individuals working on its development. If you invest in a cryptocurrency that has realistic future plans and the technology project has improved over time without dying out, it will one day grow. BTT and Doge are two good quality projects and they have been working on their future plans for a long time. So after a long time, it has been able to achieve success and people have shown interest in them. However, it is difficult to say for sure how long it will take for an altcoin to reach its desired goal.

everyone will indeed have their own plans. even when the pump reaches new ATH sometimes some investors still hold on to their assets. that's because they are sure and firm with their initial plans.

for the two assets, you mentioned maybe BTT still has a possibility for the long term. but for dogecoin, when Elon left. or Elon will end up like McAffee, I guess that could have a bad effect on dogecoin.
I believe other assets are better long-term than the assets you mentioned.

Because the possibility of making a profit is the main reason why people tend to invest in cryptocurrencies. Trading with these currencies, although relatively “new”, the potential returns are much higher compared to traditional types of investments such as stocks or other assets. Even if the cryptocurrency is very volatile, the potential for achieving high profits from a single trade is still very possible. Before undertaking any undertaking, it is advisable to consider all factors and potential risks.

In hope that someday, the coins that i have in wallet would explode. And if that happens, then i'll have enough money to make up for my losses. I do believe that if you are scalping then the best bet is Ethereum and Bitcoin but if you can hold for longterm, then a few altcoins in the wallet could be a very good thing.

Altcoins are not good for long-term retention. They can be very profitable in trading in a short time because they are subject to very strong fluctuations in the rate. With a successful combination of circumstances, you can earn decent money. But keeping your savings is certainly safer in stablecoins. This is their value.

I will not wait for a coin that has already been pumped in past, I believe investing in other good coins is better than holding an old one. You can invest in Ethereum, Binance, ADA, Dot these old coins can pump again there is no doubt that they will not pump again. But we shouldn't hold the old dead coins.

It's a matter of choice and potential. If I sight a project and see some kinetic movements with good people and use case, I will boldly invest without looking back. Altcoins aren't just alternate but they are very good in giving out huge profit than bitcoin that already has been pumped many times in its 10 years of success.
Altcoins you see today may become what people will be running after, it's always good to be on board than running later to get it in something that's already late.

Logically it is true. Nowadays a lot of new coins appear with very low prices, so they can replace positions like BTT. Maybe holding a new coin at a low price with BTT is not much different, because hopefully there will be a pump in the future. But we can't guarantee that the new tokens will survive going forward. Meanwhile, BTT has been around for a long time even though there have been no good price changes.

hold be the only choice when we trapped in negative float, if we close it i am sure our assets will decrase alot wait till market totally recovered is best option to keep our initial balance although it will take long time.


altcoin that very profitable as you said in my opinion it just pump and dump project, they shill in any telegram group to get attention from investors. This is not show the real quality , natural or organic pump is better because project will maintain for long term.

you are careful enough when it comes to investing so that you minimize the risk of large losses, and keeping your assets safe and keeping your spins stable it may be necessary for calm people


Before Elon, someone did it via tweet, so the price skyrocketed and fell when he tweeted and it didn't last long, if Elon was different he ended it by himself even though it's likely that in the future it will start again, whether it will have an effect

I am thinking that why people are still holding a dead coin and expecting pump again. The Doge and other meme coins increase due to Elon musk. I suggest you take a look at new trending coins and get benefits from a new trend. If you are long term holder then must try FTT. NFA and must do your research before investing.

what coin are you holding now since 3 years? Are you not consumed by the lies they tell? since 2019 until now I still hold Aurora tokens, their team said that 2021 will reach the highest price, I was consumed by their lies and until now Aurora is still like a trash coin in the market that only has little movement.

Actually, the issue of waiting depends on those of us who have coins, who believe that in our opinion this coin is not possible or it will be very likely that the coin will peak in value, so the point is not really how long we have to wait, let alone for years, but when we have reached that price belief. up to the limit we predict, then at that time we release the coin, the point does not have to be 2.3.4 to 5 years

Yes, that's not the point but it's all about what you think to the future of the certain altcoin that you've chosen to hold for a long time. Just like me, I believe in Ethereum and most of the altcoins, this is the altcoin that I've invested most and believe in its future. And luckily, I didn't go wrong with what I've believed in it and for a couple of years, my patience and trust in this coin came into fruition and we saw how it's going lately and with all of the updates that came into it, with the fork. Although the fees seem to be outrageous again, yet still that's fine and it will calm down the fees later on once it stabilizes.

It all depends on the altcoin we hold and how the developer markets the project. because most of the new altcoins at this time are just the beginning of the boom which is very hype after that they leave the project that is no longer managed. regardless of whatever decision you have made at least don't sell all of them at one time, and leave at least 15% of the altcoin because it could in the future the altcoin become something very valuable.

AOA is bullshit coin I think when bitcoin success raise to higher price from 29k$ become $43k AOA still dump, how ever when bitcoin last two months stand above $60k AOA success raise to higher price and crash when bitcoin dump drastically, but why right now when bitcoin success pump above 10% AOA without happen anything, price keep dump and can't do anything how to make price raise up.

I keep altcoins, it's never long if I get a profit, I sell my coin ,and moveone find another koin
but if the coin is a good and active team. every day / month there is information on the progress of the project I will save it until he reaches a new ATH. from ico price

I save altcoins because altcoins sometimes give unexpected surprises, such as HEX my long wait has paid off, my assets that used to be worth only 200$ have now reached 1200$ without thinking of displaying.  auto sell

save or sells into their respective divisions, if you want to save coins you should have a proper analysis of the development of the project and the potential of the project from the coins you save.

I wouldn't consider an alt coin the same way I would consider many of those worthless and senseless coins as alt coins. Ethereum is a whole different from Bitcoin, completely different goal. What's happening on the Ethereum platform is what you can call alt coins. So many bad coins that have no reason to exist other than scamming people for their money.

Your statement is terrible for the AOA coin, but on the one hand there is some truth in it because in April the AOA coin managed to get the attention of many people when it experienced a price increase, but for now it can be said that it is strange but true that AOA did not experience any pump at all.

if we talk today (August 8, 2021) the price of btc affects almost the average Alt coin because it soars into the sky even though it doesn't touch ATH when Elon made it, so when it comes to btc and Alt coin both are profitable at the right time.

If a project's fundaments are strong and the dev team is working for that project for new updates for the community then it's worth holding that project. In every bull cycle in crypto, all the projects that exist that time break their previous ATH and create a new one. So if you can forget about your portfolio till the next bull cycle then just leave it and wait. Patience brings better rewards.

Many investors prefer to invest through altcoins including myself, I myself still have some strong altcoins in the market such as rth and bnb, I deliberately held them back and waited for a big pump in the future through these two altcoins, seeing from the enthusiasm of many people towards these two I believe these coins will both reach new ATH when the market has started to improve.

Nothing sure, 2 to 5 years is a long time but if you choose a coin like BTC then there is nothing to wait for, because the price will definitely go up with limited supply.
New altcoins will be an option but there is no time to hold coins for a long time if the coin does not have good fundamentals, tokenomic needs to be evaluated before investing and take time to see the market situation, because every information is very necessary in making decisions to sell or buy.

They have been exploiting the market and even if there's already a warning from those people that are concerned telling people that they shouldn't invest to a likely scam project. They still do, they don't listen to warnings and they invest because they're gullible enough to be fooled by those scammers that makes it look like a legitimate project but it is completely nonsense and useless projects that they're building under the umbrella of Ethereum. There are also in other chains so there's no exception.

The guys who profited really big time from Dogecoin are those who are either in it for a very long time and maybe even mined it with tens of thousands per block or whatever the reward is, or those guys who had some insider information, loaded their bags and then coordinated a pump and unloaded into the masses who were then outbreaking when even Elon Musk joined the party.

Altcoins are more speculative because many projects are not fully understood. I wonder when the coin can be very expensive in an instant,
However, when I trade altcoins, I will keep a little bit of altcoins and will not sell them completely. It seems that if the price rises, I feel that I will not lose money.
Most of my funds are in Bitcoin.

not all altcoins can be stored for a long time because not all altcoins will have a chance to survive in the long term. I myself only keep Ethereum for long-term investment because ethereum is an altcoin that has the potential to increase and continue to grow in the future. and in my opinion there are several altcoins that can be stored for a long time such as Stellar, Ripple, Tron, and Litecoin.

Bought on higher price and now my altcoin assets dump, what have to do if not hold for long time and wait until price back again, many time when I try to buy altcoin always dump but need to hold, now more than three months I hold my altcoin assets and waiting when great moment back again and see my asset raise to higher price.

I think it's a greedy trait of a human being who wants to always get as much as possible.if we have already gained a significant profit, there is no need to wait until 2,3,5 years or the following year.it may be that this drastic rise is their golden age and in the future they will drop drastically.I think if we have got the profit in the beginning we should just take profit

because I am very optimistic that every other altcoin I invest in has a great opportunity in the future, especially the top coins in the crypto market. since the market crash I've been very lucky to pocket the ETH of what I can afford just before 2020 ends. so I can feel the gains in March and some of the ETH I still hold for the long term.

I keep some of altcoins with belief that it will increase in a matter of time especially if the project will have a major update that could greatly the price. I have only few different if tokens. Some of them are now in good condition which I really love to watch the increase. I hope it will continue to flourish for more days from now.

Every dump in the market always teaches everyone to be patient in waiting, so we can see for ourselves how far we are able to be patient and how far others are able to be patient in dealing with market downturn situations.

I keep coins because I am a trader and also an investor. Before I decide to buy and hold any coin, I will do some market research and technical analysis so that I can find the best one to hold. I understand that there is always a risk of holding for a long time, so I will set a limit on selling my coins "stop-loss" while holding so that I can avoid losses whenever unexpected dumps occur.

Nice if want to hold coin for two or three years why now see coin have service for farming or staking, you can profit with holding when coin raise higher price and get bonus every day or every month depend with staking and farming rule, I see cake coin is the best for holding and staking, you can take profit in daily day as your income and hold for three year and see cake raise higher price.

well, not holding the altcoins that we own, and selling them when the profit is small, I don't think that's a good idea, but not a bad idea either. after all, our goal is to hold altcoins for a long time, it has a goal so that we can get big profits. for example, when someone withheld 100 eth in 2020, it is very clear that by now that person has made a huge profit. that is one of the goals of holding altcoins in the long term.

they keep altcoins because they believe in the development and growth that occurs in these altcoins. so not all altcoins can be stored for a long time. only a few altcoins that we can keep as long-term investments and that's all in accordance with the research we did and makes us believe that these altcoins will increase in the future.

Everyone has a method of investing and they have a target when they should sell it. because many altcoins did not reach 1 year but have gone up in price according to their predictions. and I'm sure they have studied the development of the altcoins they bought so they dare to hold it until their profit target is achieved.

Every investor certainly has a target to make a profit. let's say I invest in BTC with a capital of $3k and suddenly the price goes up to $4k. I will automatically take the profit $1k to invest with other coins that I think is worth it, and $3k I will hold for a certain period or at least until I get another profit.

Invest with altcoin will get much profit than bitcoin because bitcoin price up now and altcoin still lower price, its true what do you said because when investing bitcoin maybe received little profit but choose altcoin as investment can increase more than 300% profit than bitcoin only give under e0% profit, I will take and choose altcoin as investing than bitcoin.

It could take time however.

Some investors who chose to buy altcoins instead of  BTC had to wait for years to profit by 25% only. This is not worth the time to wait while you can have BTC that you only need to wait for a bull run. You could already profit exponentially when there is a bull run but you can't have that profit for altcoins even if there is a bullrun.

I'm holding an alt coins, Because I was wondering that one day they can replace bitcoin in the first place because of their technology and everyone will accept that alt coin. Not today, or after 5 to 10 years. But I am still believing in that dream.

Good alt coins always bounce back, this is what we have witnessed during the Bullish cyclecs of market many times though they can drastcally go down during the Bearish cycles of market. EthereumPokadot and  ADA good examples, where they were one year ago and where they are today. All of them have shown tremendous growth. My personeel experince of trading in crypto vindicates t5hat we make more profit in Alts compared to BTC.
