Making more money from Alts than major coins.

[ether_maniac]

Hi Guys,

New member here. I am just curious who sticks more to alt coins than the major coins? I own a few Ethereum ans a few different alts and catching a good new alt with good team before a big pump, roadmap etc seems to be bringing me in the most profit although i know they  more volatile.

What are your opinions? And hello everyone btw!

Personally I haven't been trading any coins beside BTC and LTC. Those were always my favourite ones. I used to own a few others, but mostly got them from airdrops like lumens, bytes, BCC. Most of my profits came from BTC of course, but that's because I had it the longest. I missed half of the giant LTC segwit pump, which I regret, but life goes on

HODLing the major cryptos is the safe play (BTC/ETH/LTC, etc...)

But, if you pick the right alts, they have much higher upside (much higher chance of bagholding)

I try and do both, but definitely weight my portfolio over to the big guys 80/20

big ones are definitely more "secure", but you can sometimes make money on alts too

Hold ETHERIUM and whatever you own till the fork or maybe till the end of the winter. It looks pretty much like a bullish market at the time, which means that everything is growing. But any ICO is overrated and as a result overvalued,which will frease your money for another couple of month at least and than are you sure that the market will stay as bullish as it is at the very moment? Personally I have some doubts... Though I can be wrong and you are the only decision maker and risk taker at this time

You right, because it is already stayed in the market for long time and you can assure that it will prived you a good market value. But there is nothing wrong in trying for another that is new in the market, maybe is just like the old ones that it will hit in the market also.

I were investing in some altcoins, if you are try to buying the altcoin and you must do a proper research about them all, in my experience that altcoin can give you the easy money rather than major tokens.
With only some rumour and that was already enough to pump the price a lot.

In the short term, altcoin has always been profitable but dangerous. Because when altcoin fall in price, it usually fall very hard. But the risk is high for alt so also is the reward!

[fedor3327]

There is a lot of profit to be made with ALT's. You have to complete a good reseach on each of them first however.

I agree with the statement that large and well-known altcoyins, such as the etherium, litecoin, monero, ripple and others safer, but bring less profit. At the same time, if it is right and good to choose a little-known coin, then with it there is more risk, however, especially in the short term, it can bring profits much more than the well-known ones.

The major coins like BTC, ETH, LTC have more potential to rise than the minor ones. They have greater stability than others and that is the reason why people invest in them. If at all there is a decrease in their price people keep buying them and hence it's price increases again. But that is not the case with the minor coins because they don't have much stability and once dropped in value makes a panic in the market. So people panic sell them most of the times. Also, there are a few minor coins which makes heavy profits too but then there is equal amount of risk at the same time.
So most people prefer major coins over minor ones.

anything that is not bitcoin is called altcoin. there is no "major", "miner" category.

that is the strategy that good traders who are more familiar with altcoin market use. they invest in coins that are more active, that is why money moves around so much in this market. they go in an out of "hot" altcoins and make the profit in short term while they are getting pumped.

others who are not familiar with the market, stick to one coin, and mostly buy that one coin when it is in a bubble and then keep holding it tight and hope that it "some day" recovers and that day usually never comes!

I diversify my portfolio among the major coins with more weightage, and a few new and promising altcoins.

true, there are alts that really have a promising future. but, you can never know

[Shotz]

If you know how to DYOR and are confident you can find the undervalued altcoins then the money is definitely there to be made.

[Anita1873]

It is possible that you can make more money from altcoins then some major coins if you find some altcoins after proper study and future project of that altcoin. XRP is a very good future coin as they have a very good low fee banking program and they have already tied up with many global banks.

Alts are the unknown, so there is more risk. That means potential incredible gains, but it also means there could be incredible losses. Just be careful and do your research before you put your money in!

[abcd7]

both of them . major is more safe but if you didnt bought from the past you will not earn a lot . it depends  from the amount you would like to invest  on the other hand choosing a good altcoin you will earn lot with a small investment.

[Rebellious]

Major coins are safer, but if you can find the right gems in the alt coins you can get more profit for sure!

[atc1-REAL]

Alts are one of the best ways to both make and lose money. If you research on alts and make sure that it'll be viable for the forseeable future, you're set to go. But right now, a lot of people are losing money in alts due to the btc fork. So, yeah, all things considered, they're a good way to make money once you make sure that its technicals are strong.
