Which makes sense to buy a bitcoin or to buy a altcoin?

[Adamazi]

The altcoin listed already on coin market are good for investment, but Bitcoin is way safer, except for the price dipping now, but I know the price will pump.

You can buy both if you like but of course, each gives you different degree of profit. Bitcoin's price now is slow falling down and it's the best time to buy some. As to altcoins, there are lots of altcoins who have potential to a 10x or 100x rise by just looking at the graph.

Couldn't agree more. But I believe BTC will go down a bit more, maybe to a ground floor price  ~13k. Eventually it will rebound but I'm waiting for a bigger decrease to purchase some more.

As for altcoins, this is the time to buy. Specially the ones yet undervalued, profitable and with a high growth potential.

With many issues about BTC, make the price has been down for last few days, there still no sign of recovery. So i wouldn't recommended to buying more BTC for now. Altcoins has been sign positive trends, this good time for buying, choose altcoin such as XRP, Eth, Monero, BCH.

While bitcoin's value right now is quite low, you should prioritize on buying some bitcoins before altcoins. If you;re done with bitcoin, then buy some altcoins that you think will get significant price changes at the start of the year like ethereum and such. Having a variation of investments will help you grow more.

Buying bitcoin is truly an investment for long term, and the lucky people get to earn in a short term through the same on just holding. Apart from holding, users who wish to take risk benefit from regular buying and selling as it is fluctuating throughout. Buying altcoins is good for people who were interested to make an earning through trading.

When the price of BTC or ALTs go dip when the whales are dumping i wont hesitate to take the risk and buy as much as i can.

[BitcoinMarketer39]

In my own opinion, It depends on your capital because bitcoins is for reach people and you will really notice that the value of coins is very high and altcoins is cheaper that's why they prefer this coin on trading.

[alisafox2017]

I advise you to buy both bitcoin and altcoins, as you will always be in the black regardless of whether bitcoin or altcoin will fall or vice versa it will grow. The best scheme is to invest 35% in bitcoin and 65% in altcoins.

[Euroda]

it may depend on the user and also may depend on the point of view holding a bitcoin is also good because the price is pretty high but the altcoin are much more profitable because it price is much more bigger if that altcoin go boom

[coin5haker]

Why not do both? Especially need some of the bitcoin cash as it usual scheme to dump bitcoin and pump BCH and vise versa. I suggest having 60 to 40 in altcoins, mainly well-established ones. Use 10-15% for undervalued or new coins after successful ICO. I am a strong believer in Iota, Nexus, Monero. Eth will be 1000 for sure! But most of altcoins unlikely to outperform the mighty bitcoin.

At the moment it is very difficult to advise something. At any other time advised to buy bitcoin and nothing more, since the altcoyn is very much and guess which one will take off very difficult. And now with bitcoin it is not clear what will happen next month.

[antongee28]

I think the power is in the distribution. You should put your investment partly in BTC, partly in Altcoins and a little part you can put in upcoming ICOs. THat's the best way to get all the profit and minimize risks

[phpartisanmaster]

In my opinion, They both makes sense because it does not matter what coins you are going to buy and the profit you will get will be base on your strategy if your going to hold your coins or do trading in the market.

[posoa]

I will advice you to buy Bitcoin in higher value while the rest should be used to buy altcoin. Bitcoin will be for 80% while altcoin for 20%. The value in price increase for Bitcoin is quite higher than that of Altcoin so in the profit margin.Investing in Bitcoin at  80% will lead to your gaining  successfully.

[worldwifiICO]

Bitcoin for sure! It dictates to other altcoins and has growing stability!

[primeminer]

Bitoin yes, and hodl to the end. Altcoin if you can afford to lose more.

No, altcoin is very beneficial just like Bitcoin. you know the price of Ethereum is now increasing and due to the increase I can gain a lot of profit, it is not in vain that I hold Ethereum for 1 year

[commanderbitcoin]

I want to buy altcoin or bitcoin for investment purposes before January
Which one do you recommend to buy?
Or some bitcoin and some altcoin?

If you are buying in January i would suggest you to buy bitcoin because it usually deep on price during first quarter of the year. If you want to buy altcoin, check the chart first if the price is already on pump stage or on a dump stage.

[nastaverba]

I read an opinion that seemed legit about altcoins. The point is that, say, Ethereum has a bigger chance of growing than Bitcoin in the long run. In other words, $800x10=$8000. $17000x10=$170000. Add the market cap here, and what seems more probable?
So for a long time investment I'd rather go for some altcoins, my favourite are ETH and IOTA.

[umer6161]

Buying altcoins seems more profitable right now. BTC is kinda unstable, but with alts you can multiply your investment by a lot.
