In my opinion, 3-4 altcoins (together with BTC) will remain being popular in the near future. (I strongly believe that Libra will be one of them). I hope there won't be thousands of altcoins people invested as now.

I think it is inappropriate to tell "you did not understand crypto" if people are complaining about fake ICOs. Simply consider the following scenario: I take the idea of very good ICO and copy them. I am advertising the project better than the original idea. So if you understood crypto, would not you invest my project?
The fake ICOs cause "trust problem" to crypto. People are right to complain...
|

I myself sometimes complain about fraud ICOs and unstable market. I was very brave while investing many different projects before, but now even if an X coin has 100M USD Market cap, I approach them as if they are insecure to invest. I think the main problem is "trust"
|

9M Market cap coin was very appealing for me to invest some money, 2-3 years ago. Now I recommend my friends not to invest any many if market cap is below 50M. The market is not stable at all, and give chance to Skycoin if it can reach that level.

Well, most of the cryptocurrencies will go to zero if some of them are used instead of real currencies. This would actually be good for many of the people and the crypto world as well. Instead of having thousands of coins, I would rather prefer to have only 3-4 strong coins.
|
|
|
Well, recent new projects do not seem to me as good as the old ones. Only Libra is the exciting one to me. We together will see the futures of neew projects.

They did go green, and turned back to red. I lost my trust to alt coins a little bit and I reduced my altcoin investment portion significantly, in my portfolio. I bought more BTC with them.

It is always possible, even with a very small probability, biggest exchanges can be hacked by the others. For the long term, it is not the safest way to keep your BTC and altcoins there. (saying that, I still keep them on exchanges for trading)
|
|

Why not? It's just a way to use your offline wallet, once you've created a wallet there, keeping private key, you can access that wallet via mew or other platforms. It is just working good at the moment.
For those who use VPN, I suggest them not to make any operation on mew or exchanges using your password!

Well, even if WAVES provides more speed than BTC, it may not be as valuable as BTC. I was an old fan of WAVES, but I did not like the way the team proceeds, so I took all my investment back (keeping tokens coming regularly, even some of the token names arejust ads, created by others ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) ).

Well 5 years is not a long time. Let's make it 15 years, then my thought would be that much less alts will remain until that time. I believe BTC, ETH and some top-10 coin will stay until that but many low market coins now will melt away.
|
|
|
In the bear market, altcoins are more profitable than BTC. Maybe you can wait for that, buy some alts, but right after having enough profit for you I suggest you to go BTC in case of a market crush, since it is much safer than alts.
|
|
|
For long term hold, you should definitely have some BTC. Apart from that, you may consider having NEO, ETH and NEBL (much smaller coin among the others at the moment). And do not forget to stay patient for your profit ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
|
|
|
If you wait a year or a couple of months you get much more profit.
Right after this message, people get a huge profit than market crushed, however people still have profit. I expect the similar behaviour on the market in late 2018 and early 2019 and I am patient for that profit!

It's not for sure. In my case, I collect BTC and ETH for long term investment like at least 5 years, so I buy BTC for example from 6k USD to 9k USD. For altcoins, I decided to wait a little bit more, market can bleed more. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

It is always a good idea to invest in BTC and ETH. But I cannot say the same for the other coins right now. I am losing my hope about the future of the altcoins.
|
|
|
I am a long time holder and I do not regret it. If I did trade, I would lose a lot. The only thing that I do is when a coin increases unnecessarily, I sell it because I know that it will be dumped in several hours.
|

|
If you do not live in a 3rd world country or worse, banks are still safer in my view. But if you do not trust your country's government regarding economical acts, you can keep your money in crypto, of course.

|
You should be very very lucky to get fast rich in this world because the golden era where all the prices turn into bubbles has past. Now, only several coins will survive if cryptocurrency will be literally used.
|
|
|
Simply because they have ETH. Because it has a smaller marketcap currently, if ETH over comes BTC, they will have a huge profit from it. I have both BTC and ETH but ETH's over coming BTC does not sound realistic to me.
