Bitcoin or Altcoins? Which is safer or more profitable?

[Oulay]

Investing in bitcoin will always be profitable and the safest way of investing in crypto, as you can see it already recovered sitting at 7.7k right now. However alts can be more profitable if you're a good trader but it's a gamble to invest in them, you may earn big or lose everything you invested. There are some exceptions though.

Hello family, I need to take an informed decision on this issue

With the present challenges with the blockchain technology and its present congestion ,

Is it still safe, wise and as profitable as before to start a fresh bitcoin investment?

I'm thinking that investing in a number of the other several altcoins might be much better

Pls I need your thoughts and opinions on this....thanks

I think Bitcoin is safer, but Altcoins are more profitable.
My conclusion is long-term=Bitcoin and shortt-term=Altcoins.
I actually invest my 50% of money for Bitocin and other 50% for Altcoins.

I think it is hard to compare. Because Bitcoin is invested for long-term. Altcoins are traded for short-term. The profit is the seam if you do well. About the safe,I think Bitcoin is safer

Dont agree with you about "long and short term'. It doesnt matter at all. So I think that altcoins are more profitable than BTC, you should just learn about new coins which can moon.

For me bitcoin is more safe and profitable, why would people use bitcoin and prefer it if there is another currency that will help them, it means that bitcoin is more reliable than altcoin, and why would big companies and big groups will use bitcoin if their is another choice, thats why bitcoin is growing because people want it very bad and they choose it becuase they feel safe when they use bitcoin.

I am still with Bitcoin, as i believe that what ever is happening is nothing but attacking bitcoin technology and now they want to promote Bitcoin cash. But you can see after pumping BCH/BCC they were not able to do anything and just left it and now bitcoin price is back to ATH.

Investing in bitcoins would be more safer and profitable.Altcoin markets are highly volatile and when every time a bitcoin rally occurs.all altcoins start bleeding.They are totally dependent on bitcoin for survival.They have not ben able to provide a steady profit rate.But bitcoin price has increased from $1,000 in the beginning of this year to $8,000 within 10 months.Bitcoin is getting familiar all over the world and also,it has almost overcome two major issues,china ban and BCH pumping successfully.So,best option is to invest in bitcoins.

Bitcoin is definitely safer, but some altcoins may provide higher short term returns, but I think it's not worth the effort to keep up to date on all altcoins so that it is worth to invest in a bunch of altcoins.

I fully support you but I want to say that this is not to say that bitcoin should not modernize. You cannot rest on its laurels. Life makes its own adjustments. Without the trade in bitcoins is in any time can become a useless asset. Problems of cost of small transactions and the speed of the transaction process need to be addressed.

I agree but investing in an altcoin is a gamble , you might get a high amount of profit in a short time and you might also lose it on a short time ! investing in altcoin is much challenging than bitcoin , so for safer investment I'll go for bitcoins !

[bitvalak]

depending on whether you are looking for long-term or short-term investments. Because whatever it is altcoin type it will come back again we exchange into the form of bitcoin. But my advice if you want short-term investments is better choose altcoin, because many new altcoin are holding ICO token sale, that's a good chance.

[alisonwonder]

I think there is nothing safer of the both because altcoin and bitcoin have fluctuating price. but for me, the more profitable is altcoin because altcoin can change faster than bitcoin and also so many choices of excellent altcoin and it will certainly make you more easily get a lot of profit in altcoin.

Regarding To The Topic, I will Not Doubt to Say and Answer you, It is Bitcoin, Leading Coin and Very Profitable, you just Have To Be Watchful If You Want An Easy Money,  You wait For The Price Goes Down Within Just A 1000k USD, and Then Convert All Your Fiat To BTC and Wait For The Price Rise Again adding 1000k USD, and if it Rise Up Convert it Again To Fiat And If it Goes Down Again Convert again to BTC. Bitcoin Is The safest and Best Choice among Crypto/Digital Currency, and The Way To More Profit.

I believe that bitcoin is much more profitable than altcoin ! investing on altcoin is very risky there was a high probability that the dev will leave the coin if given a high pressure however in bitcoins no one control it and if you will see the bitcoin history it much better and safer to invest on it than any other altcoin

[Allan Ramanda]

bitcoin is the safest place to invest and is good for long-term investing, plus bitcoin is the first trusted and trusted crypto currency. if for altcoin is actually more profitable to invest and trade, because altcoin has more potential in trade, but you must be smart and careful, because in altcoin there is a lot of deception and everything.

Bitcoin and other altcoins like ethereum are both safe. But there are many differences between bitcoin investment and ethereum investment. You gain with bitcoin in long time period. Bitcoin has less risks than ethereum. Ethereum has more instant fluctuations. Therefore you can gain or lose much with it.

I agree with you man, Absolutely bitcoin is more safer than any cryptocurrencies. As we know that bitcoin is the 1st crypto created in the world, Futhermore, bitcoin price is always increase over the years, so it's too safer compared to other altcoins that created after bitcoin, Also bitcoin is much profitable than other cryptocurrencies for the long run, but if you have a good knowledge about trading and other crypto you can make a huge profit by Trading.

A few altcoins managed to outperform Bitcoin in terms of profit this year, but if you average the performance of the vast majority of altcoins, the increase in the market cap is not higher than the increase that Bitcoin had, so Bitcoin is not only better for its safety, but also for its potential for profit.

[kimochidesh]

Bitcoin without any Doubt. Ethereum is a second good investment opportunity.
But I don't see any long-term benefits in investing in other shitty altcoins. Most of the Altcoin, especially ICO, are scams. You can gain short-term profits from alt-coins but if you want to play safe and long go for BTC only.

[potatocorner]

Bitcoin is safer, if you believe in cripto, you just need to hold your BTC and in a few years you may get huge profit.
Don't be a weak hands, the price sometimes can decrease, just keep calm and hold.

With alt coins you can profit too, but i think it is more risk, if BTC increase too much your alt may decrease.

This is true. If you are brave enough to risk then try altcoins. I am sure it will be worth it especially if it is a success. Also, altcoins are temporary, but you can still get benefits from it. On the other hand, holding bitcoins, I think, is safer because you just hold your bitcoin and wait for the price to rise. In both, you need to be patient to wait for the good fruit of your efforts.
