Better investement right now, bitcoins or Altcoins.

[RealPhotoshoper]

If I planned on buying some coins today. Which would be the better long term investment, and why?

I spread risks by buying some BTC and different other stable coins.
Right now i bought some TTT at their ico and waiting before they release their indexes at exchange.
I think that in the long term will be my best investment because i can trade much faster and effective.

Yeaaa spread the risk , it is important to do that i guess.
To avoid a huge loss at once , so better to put your money on bitcoin and also several altcoins .
I just suggest to put a little more on bitcoin as the price currently still cheaps before heading $10k or even $100k , who knows?

I think much better to stay invest in bitcoin instead of investing to other altcoin it can increase the risk.. than you are investing in bitcoikn that i think its more less risk or much safier than you are investing in altcoin..
Since bitcoin price movement is really increase fast after days or weeks you can getting the benefits of the movement of the price if you know when to sell and if you know when to buy bitcoins because the price of bitcoin is not stable if you really want to make a large amount of profit be active of trading in bitcoin and use some tools like alert sounds so that you know your margin setup so that you can sell or buy bitcoin..

Considering the value of bitcoin right now is so expensive , it is hard to get good profit.
But when you invest your money in a cheap altcoins , it makes gou easily to get profit.
Such as when monero going up 20% it takes few days only , no even takes few houra only.

In my opinion if investor buy bitcoin with fiat now is not best option, but keep bitcoin is best option for long term. However some altcoin also worth to keep, but altcoin really need more time to hit higher price

Not really, in my opinion buying bitcoin nowadays still allows lucrative profits. In fact, bitcoin more convincing as investment choice. No need to fear about decline direction, because bitcoin market trend is rising.

I believe nowadays the best investment still Bitcoin, because it is having more stable price and also having the biggest community trading it. But in the same time there is many promising altcoins which have good potential

[shileiya]

I think btc and eth can be a long-term investment, a lot of projects are used ico them, and many people buy, which will promote the price increase.

Long term? Go for bitcoin because it is the most trusted and almost 100% sure to be gaining in the future. But also add some alts such as DGB, Status, XVG, NEM, Strat, Ripple, and some more others that can be trusted. These will all fly in their own right time.

Bitcoin is better investment in my opinion.
Altcoins are for daily trading and if you want to wait for those pumps, bitcoin is for long term investment. Bitcoin community is getting bigger every day and its value is raising every day, when you enter altcoin it is really hard to tell anything, one day they look like they are going to moon and next day they worth nothing.

My opinion for you is just inverse in bitcoin as compared to any other Altcoin. I use to say bitcoin is the king of Altcoin. Why because the price of bitcoin is in the peak as compared to any other altcoin. If you have a doubt means Just check in Any website. Then you come to know the truth. It's price also Keep on increasing.

I would suggest anyone to hold both of them.
They are needed anytime.

Alt os good if you can get the train.
BTC is good if suddenly your favourite coin is dropping ao you can collect more or pump it.

Keep both of them, use also hard wallet may be better to store it

Though both are doing well at present but I will prefer bitcoins over altcoins. Bitcoins are very old player in the crypto land but altcoins are very new to the market. They are just kids. I believe that altcoins will need time to stabilize their position in the market but bitcoins are already ruling the crypto market.

Both are my choice as well. In your comment you described bitcoins as someone older, and alts as kids, my opinion since forever is that much better is to invest in kids then in old players.
Its always depends from what kind of plans someone have, quick profit or long term holding. Its good to hold bitcoins, but its also good to hold some alts, both can bring profit we need to agree with that. Everyone here would like to know which coin can bring highest profit in next couple years, but we can't know, we need to risk now and I'm sure in this, more we risk, more money we invest more profit we will make in future.

Well obviously at this time, bitcoin is quite secure in rising prices. Bitcoin over altcoin right now but if you're an agressive and experienced trader, there's big money with altcoin trading. I justbdon't think i want to get into that risk yet while bitcoin is having a great run

It is better to just invest in bitcoin right now because it is moving so fast and i think if you will invest now then you can still ride the train and earn profits with your capital. Do not miss the train and just buy and hold and wait for the new ath to be reached and i think the strong resistance is on $4k but it is still worth it to hold for long run.

good guide,I will also follow this strategy, lot of people contact me and ask about their investment, the best option I give them of bitcoin and when I explain these guys with proofs they will come back to their homes and first thing they done is to make investment on bitcoin. And now they are so pleased by me because I let them to make this decision. And yet some of them sell their coins with good price and some of them still holding their coins.

I believe AltCoin investment for trading will only worth again when the BTC price increase and find a new stable point. It's too risky to buy AltCoins, start trading it and then when you want to exchange your funds to BTC again you see all the profit you made from trading it's the same percentage of BTC price increasement... That would be very disappointing.

If you use your brain and thing again carefully, you can understand the reason in recently altcoin market always effect by Bitcoin price, usually down trend than up trend. Why the whales want the price of altcoin down more and make the of Bitcoin growth to highest price every month? Have many issue and situation can't predict exactly after this happens ...

I really don't understand what you mean.

Why do the whales want the price of AltCoin down more and make the BTC price grow to highest price every month?

I don’t believe in these whales concept. All that I know is bitcoins are far better and trustworthy in regard of profit that any other digital currency. The prices are high because it has great support. Too many people are using bitcoins and the number of users is increasing tremendously day by day.

Well it depends on which coin are you looking to buy, it depends if you wanna buy a solid coin like Ethereum or a newbie coin like Fanctom, Ark, Neo, etc.
Bitcoin can make a 200% in a year, like we all have seen this year, from 1000$ to 3800$
and altcoins can make that 200% in a month if they are hyped by big investors, and if that coin has a good dev and community.
you have to choose what do you prefer, i invest 50% of my portfolio on bitcoins and the other 50% on altcoins, you just have to choose one.

[bluefirecorp]

The answer is always bitcoin, but because it has higher price, very expensive for most people, so you have to back down? Forget it?
No, you can't do that, it just getting started because bitcoin will achieve more than this, should be accepted all over the world as a mainstream digital currency, an alternative currency. Bitcoin will always developing, reach fantastic price in every year because people believe in bitcoin as the best monetary system which free from being controlled by central bank.

Yes, being expensive cannot be a reason to ignore bitcoin for investment consideration.
As per many speculations, bitcoin prices will be reaching unimaginable levels. So investing into bitcoin must be the right way of investment to enjoy better benefits in near future.

Interestingly we can invest any amount into bitcoin so huge rises of bitcoin will not be a hurdle for any level of investors.

That must be myth which is around among all investors for not considering bitcoins for their investment purposes. People do fail to consider how much ROI there will be getting if they go for other than bitcoins with their capital. Instead of investing into other altcoins and then struggling to find any returns, it will be always good to invest with only bitcoin as it will be guaranteed profitable all the times.

I try to stick to a 70% bitcoin (bit of a btc maximalist), 20% top-30 altcoins and 10% 'shit'coin spread. That way I can focus on picking the right altcoin for my portfolio. In my opinion, having to many different coins is not worthwile.

[cryptocortex]

Well, Bitcoin is almost always a better investment. However, the saying buy low, sell high is still valid here, and at the moment what is down on the market are alts. But they remain a riskier investment, and nobody knows what the ceiling for Bitcoin is, so I would hold the majority of my portfolio in Bitcoin, and would research about the best altcoins to diversify.

I suggest to you if you have a large capital and will invest long-term, you should invest in bitcoin. You can see that bitcoin prices continue to show improvement.
