Hold Bitcoins or buy Altcoins with it

Altcoin prices are down, i think it's a good time to buy altcoin, especially ethereum. Ethereum have a good potential in 2018, i believe the price of ethereun in 2018 will be high, maybe in mid year the price ethereum will reach arround $1500. For now i have some bitcoin in my wallet, i want to hold for 50% and investment in altcoin 50%.

Should I hold Bitcoins Or should I buy Altcoins with it.
And Why ?

What's your take on it ?

Depending on the altcoin what you buy. but I think it will benefit more if hold bitcoin because surely bitcoin will always go up the price

50% BTC 50%ATLS, this is the only way to succeed and not be a victim of BTC rise

To the poster who said that its easier for a 10 cent coin to go to 20 cent and double compared to bitcoin, i agree with that. However, is the chance of that 10 cent go going down really higher than bitcoin going down? Because even if it goes down, how far down can it go when its 10 cents? If btc is 5 figures, it can go down a lot etc.

Holding is a good option.. There are loads of altcoins out there now. Most of them are worth nothing. I don't think investing in Altcoins without proper research about the project is a good idea.. Meanwhile there is a chance of btc making another big climb. So hold.

For me just hold bitcoin because bitcoin price pumpe everyday and bitcoin price is stable after the dump the bitcoin surely pump and pump to the actual price last time. But consider the alt coin for easy profit but alt coin is too risky to invest so do a research before investing

We see today that you need to keep our 50% investment in BTC. My rate is much lower. Sad

In my observe. the market are recovering now. Most top altcoin are going up. So, I think you should buy some good coins now such as Dash, Monero, IOTA, and Neo

For me this is literary made by many people who trade and save bitcoin, because they thinking that when price of bitcoin increasing they were having alternative crypto currency that they used to invest in other business. Since they want to have an income they make investment using altcoin instead of bitcoin. While their bitcoin are still holding for long period of time and waiting for the maturity of the bitcoin until they reach the perfect timing to sell it.

Please be advised that the best way to go in crypto investment is to create a diversified portfolio. Of course the foundation is basically to buy Bitcoins. Just to make sure that if ever one or two of your other coins will end up acquiring zero increase in value, at least Bitcoin will always increase. Or if your other coins are decreasing in value instead of increasing, at least some other coins are also multiplying its value. It is always good to diversify cryptocurrencies.

I don't think it's a good idea to sell all of your bitcoins because we all know bitcoin will be much better in the long term. It may crash or fall soon but it will rise again eventually. So holding at least some of your bitcoin would be better. Buying alt coins and profiting from them requires knowled and experience. You can make very good profit from doing so but you need to buy right coin at the right time. If you think you know ther market well enough go on an buy some high potential coins.

I think the ideal portfolio is around 70:30 for Bitcoin and alts.

I hold around 1K dollars of bitcoin and few hundreds in alts, like stratis and ltc. Of course i change it a little bit if i see promising coin.

If I get Good price i will sell it .If I will not find Good price i will hold it.

If I have some few Bitcoins to own, I wouldn't hold all of them. I just never put all eggs in one basket. I would invest some of my Bitcoins in other altcoins and promising ICOs. Even though that somebody predicted that Bitcoin's price will be $100,000 in 2019, I would not hold all BTCs. You know why? Bitcoin's price could fluctuate in just a matter of minutes or hours.

I hope my advice would help you a lot. Good luck!

because of the bitcoin has begun to rise again for a higher price then hold course formerly bitcoin you have. or if you want to sell some bitcoin you have to buy altcoin who might later can go up as well.

If you are long term holder and prefer long term trading, hold it is good choice then.
But if in my opinion, because sometime i like also short trading, i will convert into altcoin 40 or 50% of my bitcoin.

I was never sure also on what to do about it. But, I was thinking of buying etherium from the half of my bitcoin. I am holding half and buy altcoin also.

in order to safely use just some bitcoin you have to buy altcoin. If a good thing then that's a good thing, but if not then you still have savings bitcoin to invest

Hodl bitcoin for life! There will be only 21 million bitcoin in the World, not all people will be able to hold 1 bitcoin! Altcoins will stay as altcoin always.

The 12/08 at 1.30 Bitcoin has made the historical highs and the altcoins have collapsed a lot, I think today we could repeat the same thing
