Bitcoin or altcoin, which is better to invest into now?

[iyan33]

For now I choose bitcoin as a profitable investment. Seeing the constantly rising prices makes me more confident about bitcoin. When compared with altcoin this is certainly the opposite. The current altcoin price tends to decline due to the impact of increased bitcoin prices. So I will take the best opportunity possible because investing must be in accordance with the condition of the digital currency market.

The big investors they always trade BTC and they do not trade Altcoin. I think this will make BTC a more stable price for a long time and it will certainly be a great long-term investment as I am sure Bitcoin prices could reach $ 10,000 in 2018.

it seems that big investors will always invest in bitcoin instead of altcoin so as to trigger the increase of bitcoin to keep increasing and it is not impossible what you say about bitcoin prices in 2018 will reach $ 10,000, if you see the current price increase continues to soar.

As Bitcoin keep climbing and altcoin keeps going down, is it better to invest in bitcoin or altcoin now?

I'm not sure why are you confused here. The straight thing is altcoins are down which means we have created ourselves opportunities to invest in best alts at lowest prices possible. That's the part of swing trading and buying at low is the ideal step to follow.


As bitcoin already spiked way lot ahead I believe is time to buy alts more than bits. The reason is simple we may not get sufficient margin for bitcoin now because it will take time to rise by 300-500 USD which can get 2-3 % of profits on any investment. But for alts, they can spike eventually a way high after people pull the bits.

It is always better to invest in bitcoin on long term and specially if you have alot to invest, bitcoin will go up higher every time and on long term it is going much higher, we are almost hitting 6k and it wouldn't surprise me if we hit 6k on the 24th this month regarding to the hardfork that is happening, if you have not so much to spend like tens of thousands than altcoins will give you also much higher percentages back.

as a general rule Bitcoin is the best choice. it made very good gains over the years and it's the most popular cryptocurrency. however NOW it's a  different story...sure alts are cheap now and probably will recover in the next weeks, but it's very risky because bitcoin might continue to rise and alts might continue to fall. trade with caution and always set up a stop-loss.

I don't see altcoins being cheap at all. If you consider that the far majority of the altcoins are nothing more than blatant 'copy and paste' coins, then literally ANY value is too high, especially in current days where even the altcoin market is quite pumped up. 99% of the altcoins serve no purpose other than speculation - if people end up investing their money into whatever coin, or even ICO, then it's straight gambling. You have to look for altcoins actually solving a problem, and exactly these coins are insanely scarce (i.e almost non existent).

I do think that both altcoin and bitcoin is a good choice for investing.  Many people will say that bitcoin is better but for me I see potential in investing in altcoins too. As for example is ether,  ether was just a coin until it became a leading altcoin and is now being compared to bitcoin. We should not underestimate altcoins because they are the main source of bitcoins in trading.

Altcoins are low right now, it's a good time to invest

[mistanama]

Based on my experience because of the constant increase in the price of bitcoins. It's good to choose from altcoins markets because most of Altcoins are now a blood bath and it has advantages for us because when Altcoins is going up to make sure we can earn a lot of money here.
That's just the tactic to buy at low prices and to wait and sell at high cost

I see future in Eth, but it's just my own opinion. All ppl around me think that I'm crazy

No, I don't think you are crazy. Everyone has his own opinion. Ethereum is a good crypto coin and if you think it is the future, it maybe one day. After all, digital currencies are going to become our new money method. However, I don't see it as the only future coin. Bitcoin will also exist in that era and it will be the number one digital currency even then. It is the best of the best.

BITCOIN would be a better investment than altcoins simply because bitcoin is the mother of all cryptocurrencies.it is the most popular crypto available in the market . it has higher acceptance than any other crypto available in the market right now and looking at the current increase in popularity,i think that it will be used by everyone in the coming years.
keeping in mind the upcoming hard fork ,within one month,you can expect the price of bitcoin to be above 7000$.

most altcoins , on the other hand are scams.the risk of loosing your money is very high if you invest your money in altcoins.

I think that there are so many other altcoin which also have good potential to increase and i think investment there can also be profitable. but i think that in present time investment in bitcoin will be a more good option, because people are still too much confident and investing money in bitcoin. therefore there are more chances that bitcoin price will increase more.

My suggestion to you now is much better to invest in altcoin with have a really bright future and great project in future because it will help to pump the price, such as in real life events, new projects implementation. But if you are not a risk taker, much better to invest in bitcoin and hold it.

[Ponylon]

at the momen I'd say BTC. BTC is always a safe bet whenever you want to invest in anything, if you are not sure about a specific situation or about the crypto market, BTC is your safest way - at the moment it's one of the least volatile crypto coins out there and many use it ot hedge. That is, since BTC has such high adoption and market size, it's very difficult to manipulate its price and you can be sure that it's a coin that will stay around, cause it's been around . Investing a portion of your portfolio in altcoin is always a good idea too, they might be more volatile but offer a greater return as well, try to balance reward/risk ratio

[glowing10]

Btc is a must for the investment. Altcoin it will depend upon which one you are investing in. Because btc will make a rise in coming time but not all altcoin will make a upward movement. So do research accordingly and invest in the right coin.

[HatakeKakashi]

You can earn profit in the bitcoin if you invest because the price of bitcoin continue to increase. But if you want to make more profit you shoudl invest it to the altcoin because investing in altcoin can help you  to grow your bitcoin . For example your bitcoin grow because altcoin and the price of bifcoin increase you earn more profit. Lets say it doubls pirpose if you buy altcoin. It depends to you who is better .

[mitchr4]

Although the current Bitcoin price soared but on another side altcoin prices dropped. From both the right investment to make a profit is investing in altcoin it depends on the coin you use. Recommended Altcoin which good to invest is coin with high volume and price movement is pretty good investment on altcoin also the price can be doubled or more.

Alt coins during the day for fast and hard profits and keep it in BTC at night, for a safe place while you sleep.  There are occasional issues with BTC that causes a price drop, but the long term will solve that for you.  No one is going to fault you at all for using BTC as a place to keep and hold coins.  Just be careful with the alts that the returns that BTC give you are not wasted on bad coins.

I totally agree with you. I think we should invest in Ripple. With a partnership with Bill Gate Foundation to give a new mobile payment app, I think its price will go up x10 soon.

I don't think Bitcoins and altcoins are having inverse trading relationships, but yes few coins do pretend to trade in opposite relationship. The best opinion from my side is that invest in both, mean to say invest half of your capital in bitcoin alone as it has high value and demand behind it. Then invest second half of your capital into the Coins like Etherum, Litecoin, Dashcoin, Neocoin which are having good value, good volume,and are likely to become future bitcoins. And you can also invest in coins which are not yet started to rise, but are capable to rise to new higher levels similar to other good altcoins like litecoin and neocoin.

I would not pay attention to all other currencies than Bitcoin. It seems to me that it is Bitcoin that has all the positive prospects for recognition by mankind and for the replacement of feat. Reality can be difficult only because many people are not ready to switch to the digital currency and this will be a bit difficult.

That is not a fact, big investors also trade in altcoins else we won't have had the market capitalization of quite a number of them running into billions of dollars. I guess it's best to say they hodl most of their funds in Bitcoin, because it is the most formidable and has impressive liquidity. With altcoins, they usually speculate with them!
