Better investement right now, bitcoins or Altcoins.

[rjbtc2017]

choose bitcoin, if you really want long term investment, i will suggest bitcoin, as you can see when it comes to reputation, bitcoin is clearly the winner here,some of the alt coins is just emerging coins as of now and the reputation,brand and the trust of the customer that bitcoin have is not yet fully achieved, so for me, you should invest on bitcoin.

with bitcoin price still surging i think it would be best to invest in bitcoin right now.
with bitcoin price going green altcoin will turn red and that's not good if you're holding altcoin especially short term.
sure they have the same fiat value but the btc value of altcoin is dropping.
when bitcoin price stabilize you can buy altcoin and get a quick profit.

[Casdinyard]

When you can afford to buy now with some bitcoin with the current price of course that would be better and hold it for long term to have a good profit. But if you don't, best time to buy altcoin now as some of them are crashing, this is the perfect time to buy. However, buy the potential coins that you think that over time will pump. Soon altcoin will rise again so better now to don't have regrets.

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

The better investment right now to invest is altcoin, just make sure the altcoin that you're gonna buy are legit and and listed at the top 20 coinmarketcap. Like xem, waves, bay and maid also eth.

If you want a long-term investment, I suggest you go for Bitcoin. I'm a bit skeptical about Altcoins - there are so many out there! Altcoins might not be a bad investment, but then you should be very careful about what you choose. Do a thorough research first

We should all be looking at bitcoin for the long haul because it will really give us the benefit of it rather than do daily trading. And for those people who are not good in trading, investing for long term is the best bet for them. We see threads like quitting trading, but we can offer them this very good alternative to just hold on your coins and just see it grow exponentially. Less worries but high rewards. I'm no longer trading altcoins or investing on them. Some of the groups of P&D are just manipulating the price resulting to sudden crash and its difficult to get out of it once you are trapped.

Bitcoin price increases are very fast this week. I personally choose to invest some of my money for bitcoin.
Because we know if investing in altcoin for now is not exactly right.

Btcoin big profits? it has to go to 5500-6000 for you to double up. So altcoins would be my choise.

Yes any doubts on bitcoin? We have the advantage for investing for both places. Bitcoin and alt coins, we know investing in bitcoin is always as profitable as the price is about to pump very soon. While the market of alt coins is just following the foot steps of bitcoin. Both has the potential but I will always prefer to invest in bitcoin.

Prices depended on people if people are willing altcoins then altcoins prices will goes up if people are willing bitcoin then bitcoin price will goes upward so i would like to say that that no worry because if bitcoin is going to rise just because of people. Because people giving attention to bitcoin while i don't think about altcoin that people even know altcoins or not.And more, investment in btc is very profitable.

Bitcoins if long term. It doesn't matter when you will buy bitcoins, you will earn profit if you will hold them long enough. alt-coins are better if you want to earn in 1 week from them, but it's also more risky.

I checked many of altcoins price crossed 100$ and more but still we need to support the bitcoin else some of the toppest altcoin price and potential will reach near to bitcoin. Altcoin ICO support and creates the new. Then they are making new entrepreneur being in blockchain and eth based technology.

As this is in the Trading Discussion I'd say it doesn't matter whether you buy bitcoin or high quality altcoins. If you will be trading anyway then you'll be selling alts as bitcoin rises and selling bitcoin as alts rise, so you'll constantly be switching between bitcoin and alts anyway.

Still op is asking for a long term term investment so he will trade for his coins after a very long time so you have to be very picky on choosing which coin to invest on.

wheather its long or short term, choosing which coin matters because its one the vital parts. And selling alts when bitcoin rises is not necessary, most of the time traders

sells it when the price pumps. selling on dumps is what panic sellers usually do. bottomline not everyone follow the same pattern as you have stated above.

[amaral1977]

What i´d like to see discussed is not BTC or ALT. Because BTC is definitely a good investment and some of the 600 or more alts out there are as well. What i would like to predict is what alts will move independent from BTC in the future. With BTC jumping wich alts will jump with it.

[Nathland]

If you want To invest for a really long time then Bitcoin will be the best investment in which you can put your money as it is the fastest and safest investment in which you can put your money.

[Bagaji]

All depends on whether you are a long-term investors or short term investor. Bitcoin has both long and short term good return on investment as compared to altcoin. Although there is need for diversification when it come to crypto currency investment in other to avoid the risk of loosing all your investment.

[GTTIGER]

Diversifying is a man's best friend. During bull markets sometimes the best option one cam take is to buy a basket of coins. If you had diversified across some of the top ten coins you would have made a killing. In fact, I believe diversification would have made you more than btc or eth. I also believe that you would be exposing yourself to less risk if you did such a thing. Since you can't tell the future, best option is to bet on what might be best and when one fails there will be a backup.

[JimmieA]

For long term investment I think btc is better than altcoins. Btc prices are tending to rise and are much more stable than altcoins. Although sometimes investing in altcoins is profitable and quick, the risk ratio is much higher than btc. Investing in altcoins requires a thorough understanding and market research. And choicing altcoin to invest is also important, you should choose altcoin which is more stable, it will not worry you much.

Bitcoina and altcoins are really worth it to invest. Bitcoin is really potential and it is good for investment.

[Rostchild]

It is clear to choose BTC for nowdays.
Stick to it and HODL (pump too)

[SMSabuj]

Bitcoin is the only coin which price is stable. Although it pumps and dumps. However, Bitcoin is the best for investment. Right now Bitcoin dumping so low. If you can buy some Bitcoin right now, definitely you will get a huge profit.
