I think it depends on the situation on the market. With quiet time, it's more profitable for BTC/Altcoin. But when the market is not calm or the cue ball is overbought then I would prefer to trade from the dollar (usd/usdt). Of course with usdt so far not everything is transparent, today by the way read the news that Bitfinex and Tether(usdt) got subpoenaed by CFTC and market is bearish as a result today.

I think that it is very difficult for the majority to predict the pamps. Pump can be organized as a group of people (for example, there are a lot of pamps groups in telegrams now) or maybe a couple of whale men with big money. If the pamp is literate, then it is difficult to recognize and it looks like organic growth as on news for example. A substandard pamps is immediately visible on a green candle, and experienced traders will not bite on it, only beginners. Experienced traders certainly constantly analyze the volumes and glasses, but this does not always work either. Many, for example, trade on the basis of news on coins, or buy paid signals. An interesting moment is that even when the paid channel gives a signal for purchase, only the number of subscribers can provoke a small pampas, and many also use it.

I believe that the most important thing is to have a trading strategy. Cryptoindustry is very volatile place, and for many alts the dip it is the price of 0 well or 1 satoshi. Therefore, personally, I think that keeping dozens of coins in a portfolio is a bad idea. Up to 10 can still be kept in order to control them all.
Concerning where the dip of a normal coin is - it is necessary to take into account technical analysis, market cups, news, current market situation, BTC trend, whale game all this affects the price. If the price is now sensation at the peak and there is confirmation of it, you can sell at the peak and buy again near the support zone. Personally, I prefer short-term trading, it makes me always be aware of the situation on the coin and earn much more than in the role of a long-term investor.

I think it depends on whether it's an investor or a trader. They have different approach, knowledge, skills, market visions. Of course, many combine all the attributes. But for the investor the main thing is to understand the picture, how much you can earn, what risks, the term of the investment. After that, calmly observe from the side and get 100-200-500%. A trader may not know, do not see so far, but he sees what will happen today, tomorrow, for a daily trading it is maybe enough. If a trader is experienced in a volatile market, this could make 100-200-500%. But much faster ..

Good question what betterDay trade or Hodling. I think it depends on several factors, like:
-Ability to successfully trade in the market
-Stage of development of the crypto currency. (if the crypto currency has only begun to grow actively, it is probably better and easier to keep it)
-The presence of flat in crypto-currency (a good opportunity to trade from support and resistance levels)
-The presence of trading volumes (if the volumes are small and the currency is new, then the possibility of trading may be limited)
-The news background of the market and bitcoin in particular, in a quiet market to trade from the BTC is easier and safer.

Difficult question. As history showed, news speculation in China is not new. It is very convenient to manipulate the news to give the necessary news background. Therefore, while the information has not been confirmed by authoritative sources, it can be a fake. But even if it's true later the authorities can change their mind or soften the rules, this is China ..

A good question. As for me is, of course, easier to fix profits or wait for corrections in usdt, but there are a lot of rumors and negative information around it. Will the usdt crash not known. I see such options when correcting or waiting in usdt, or in stable Alts which does not strongly bend from the BTC, withdraw some money or fix it in fiat money. In general, probably store everything in the crypt until it is recognized in countries dangerous, you need to diversify the risks.

Good question. I think it depends on several factors, namely

I think that everything depends on the situation on the market and the exchange where you trade (if we are about trading)
To date, in principle, the state of these two assets has not yet been overbought. Now EHT went into growth, BTC is still in the flat.
Many exchanges have pairs of ETH/ALTS so that what you think has more potential to grow from that and you can trade now.

I think now is a good time to buy BTC. And it does not matter whether you are a trader or a Holder. If the trader then you need BTC for trading and trading alts in particular. At the moment the price is about 13000$. Perhaps, of course, it will still sink a bit and you can buy at 12-10, but a possible option is that soon new growth will begin after the completion of the December correction, and prices significantly less than 13000$ we will not see.

Someone likes to day trading someone no , but I think many traders use it. After all, the trader's task is to make money, and often it is exactly dey treding that wins by the profit-risk ratio. You can certainly put stops, pending orders, there are even separate services that provide setting of take profit and stop loss together, but all the same automation is far from a living person and his understanding of what is happening on the market.

Trading BTC and ALTS did not cease to be profitable. Of course, not everyone can profitably and steadily trade in a bear market, but there are many such. Now the violas are recovering after the fall, more serous companies and investments come to the market. Of course, profitability is comparable to risks. If you only have $ 100, then it's impossible to follow the manymanagement quickly to make x10 or x50 for example. But the one who has already earned or has a greater deposit of that and 5% a day is enough regardless of market..

In order that emotions do not take up, you need to understand why you buy the asset, how much of the deposit you are willing to risk, how much the transaction is risky, how much are you ready to lose before the close in the negative, or it could be a long-term investment in a promising currency, the drawdown should grow. Panic and emotions are great when you go unthinkingly or on a hyip, without having your own trading principles.

Yes, to be a trader, we need willpower. Discipline, a trading strategy suitable for you personally, under your daily routine. Crypto trader is not only a trader but also a Holder, here is not Forex where indices and prices have many economic justifications, here the price depends on the faith, and on whales, and in both cases it can fall to "zero", and buying an illiquid asset can remain in eternal investors ..

Now you need to be neat with all the stock exchanges, not to mention the new little-known ones. At the current moment on the top stock exchanges even closed the registration. Many complain about problems with long verification, withdrawal, can wait a week for a response from technical support. The future behind the decentralized exchanges, it's a pity they are not yet ripe to the desired level, so while we wait .. For now, we follow the rules of exchanges, as an option for an interesting exchange at the current moment, take a closer look at the binance.com..

December can be very unpredictable. Fixing profits, going to Fiat before the holidays, pampas and dumps. It is necessary at this time to be careful with transactions, remember the stop order .. January should also be more predictable ..

I think it's all because of the undeveloped discipline of emotions and perhaps a little experience in crypto trading. I myself have often stumbled that did not put a stop loss on the deal, as a result, go to investors. But you can go to the eternal investors if you buy a shitcoin and do not put an adequate stop.
Normal alts of 99% that will grow sooner or later, but even then you become an investor and freeze part of the deposit, but with a stop you most likely repulsed the minus before and would trade further having the full depo available.

I think that if a trader inside the day you can call someone who keeps a coin one day, then most of us are trading Holders).
After all, a trader within a day is a concept from forex, where his specificity, his rules, his commission for an unclosed deal, etc.)

So BTC or ALTS. This depends on what goals each person sets for himself.
But what for to dissemble, the majority want to make money on this and then everything else, bright future, blockchain, etc.
So the one who is not risk-averse and (or) less experienced will choose BTC.
The one that is more adventurous or who needs to make a large sum out of a small amount will choose the ALTS.
And the one who is the most experienced and smart always keeps the balance everywhere and adjusts it depending on the situation on the market. It will be necessary in general to come out in Fiat for a while

I think that it depends on who you are an investor or trader.
If the investor then many have really invested their spare money in the BTC as digital gold, in the hope that it will grow for a long time and will probably not give as many X as some alts, but this is a more reliable asset, even given the correction.
And if you are a trader, then most likely you trade different currencies, but since at the moment 90% of alts are traded mostly only to BTC (except for ETH and USDT of course). That all the same it is necessary to have a reserve of a deposit in BTC to make trading operations.
