I am so fucking tired of altcoins!
Every altcoin I've ever invested in has either been a scam or gone dead in the water after a while. Granted, you can earn a fair amount of BTC on altcoin speculation, but when it comes down to it I might as well should have just put my BTC in cold storage and then forgot about them until the next growthspurt. The amazing amount of bullshit I've been through with the god damn altcoins just hasn't been worth it.
Fuck altcoins, buy BTC. In the long run it's the safest bet.

There is simply too much noise in the altcoin space. It doesn't matter what amazing features they have, there are simply too many competing coins and NONE of them can separate themselves. You would think LTC is separated, however, I think its volume is largely fake.
I have bought altcoins and won big, I have bought altcoins and lost big. Altcoins are a con mans game right now.

I think its better to choose bitter than altcoin because bitcoin is my destiny.
Good luck for some investor there if you want to try altcoin just make sure you afford to lose..

Kraken will be offering direct fiat - Ether gateway like the coinbase of Ethereum. Good luck clinging to dying deprecated bitcoin technology. Ethereum mist browser is already here, it makes bitcoin look like a piece of shit. Sorry about your coin losers, its going the way of the Dodo soon. |

I'm holding about 85% of my stash in BTC. Then a bit in XMR and ETH and Doge ( because I mined it myself and dont want to sell  ) I think holding around 90% in BTC and the rest in some established alts is a good bet. |

Yes, you are right. my experience when bitcoin prices rise, then the altcoin price down and vice versa when the bitcoin prices fell, altcoins prices rise. I ever experienced that.

Agree strongly. Check out another vid I made about it recently: "Solving Bitcoin's Centralization: NXT vs Clam": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMZqnbtzXOII think the strongest argument against altcoins is that bitcoin may be the facebook, google, ebay of this world that has the network effect in it's favor and is impossible to beat when you tried to follow their tracks. But with the exception of ebay most of these are actually a second or third version and beat others that had the network effect going long before them. Social networks Friendster, MySpace, search engines Yahoo, MSN all had very strong network effects in their favor, yet the newcomer that offered something much better took it all. |

But not one single example involved one cent of user money. All they had to do was skip across to the better platform with a couple of clicks. Trying to compare that when there's actual money in the equation makes zero sense. |

According to me, all alts are just puppets and are going to die one day soon...
For eg.; just see Dogecoins, where they were and where they are now...
Even Ripple was a big scam, so being in Bitcoins is the only way to profit these days, as alts are either just going to scam or die one day by their own users...
We should really not compare alt-techs with the parent one which helped these alts to get to work...

If every Bitcoin user decided Ethereum was the way forward I'd estimate somewhere around 1-5% would actually manage to end up with the same value in ETH before Bitcoin's price turned to dust. |

Altcoins are like gambling very risky.
Too many scams happening there, which means you are never sure if you end up losing 90% of your investment.

I dont think Altcoins are good investment at all. There is way too much scams in that scene. Altcoins (at least some of them) are mostly good way to coders sharpen their skills and good test ground for things that could one day be implemented in Bitcoin but if you ask me, crypto need maybe few alts (with faster confirms, able to send dust cheaper and anon sending options) and that is all.

Not all altcoins are scams. There are a few altcoins that can be considered as a good investment. |
