Bitcoin or Altcoin ? which one will be the best to invest in 2018?

[LuckyHopper18]

Invest in both of them, some altcoins already posses a good opportunity in the market. I think safe investment would be bitcoin, but there are some promising altcoins to choose with.

You should put your money in BTC and Alts.
I got 50% in BTC and 50% in alts (ETH, XRP, WAVES and recently HVN)

As the Alts are rising and falling hourly and sometimes in a two digit range..thats definetly the showcase for its short term usefullness.
I mean..you can hold Alts as well, ETH is a good example, but your 50% in BTC may give you solid % in a long term.

To be clear..thats all speculation and observation, but i am doing fine with that.

I guess it would be better to invest in both (50/50).
Bitcoin is the best choice for long term investment: 2017 investors got 18x their original capital.
It would be better to trade altcoins instead of holding them, many of them are too risky but can afford a good income
in the short term due to high volatility.

Go for both, the prospect of alt coin and bitcoin is very good, this year alt coin has make quite an appearance, so the fame of the alt coins will keep on continue to rise, bitcoin is safer choice but alt can be more profitable

[carriebee]

Invest on both as they are profitable coins when you invest it will provide profit. The altcoins you willl pick above are ensure profit like eth, litecoin, and ripple. When you observe the price in the market history you are in profit if you have bought before but still you can serve it as long term.

[DonQuijote]

Ripple and Dash were 2017 more profitable coins, bitcoin have more volume, but altcoins could get more profit

[Fuhre]

As the year 2018 has been speculates to be the year of altcoins will it be better to invest into bitcoin or altcoins ? Which one will give more return in both short term as well as long term ? I am bit puzzled whether to go for well established bitcoin , Litecoin, ethreum or Ripple, Dodge coin, Dash.

I always consider what decisions I will take to make altcoin an investment.
Honestly dude, I save a few thousand XRP for sale by the end of 2018,
I strongly believe that by the end of 2018 XRP will reach 10x tiers.
But do not believe people's words,
make a decision from yourself, so you do not regret it later.

It is a hard question to answer. LOL
Try to invest to both of them. altcoins will just ride the rise of bitcoins market value. Afterall, it is because of the altcoins why its price is going up.

Not really that hard, it is just plain investment and in any investment, it is always good to diversify. Like you have said, the main thing is to just focus on finding good altcoins to invest in while adding bitcoin as well and watch all of them grow over the years.

A lot of alts if anyone has been holding have done very good this year and that shows that no good project or coin can be sidelined.

If you are an investor, it is just better to invest in as much as you can invest in. The altcoin market are booming now and as long as you can find a pretty good project to invest in, it is better to just stick with it and make it rain for you in the long run with the profit. Diversification is necessary in this industry and it is just better not to miss the chance on any good coin.

I totally agree with you. the best to invest in both. bitcoin is still the currency are many supporters. make sure that the price will still rise in the year 2018. however with the problems that Bitcoin is encountered, surely more people will move to invest in altcoin better btc . so choosing good altcoin and invest a little in it that is completely accurate

[Kathan]

If you dont think that any Altcoins suggested here are good, you should just look them up yourself.
On this Forum are many good explanations why xyz is good and you can decide yourself if some Alt is worth investing or not.

BTC is always a good thing.
Just put like 50% there

[Willeampere]

I think 2018 could be very positive for the Altcoins because there is a technology that is constantly improving itself. In this case, it would be more effective to divide the investment and make equal investments in Bitcoin and altcoins. Let's not forget that only novice investors invest one time.

[Pleione527]

Bitcoin and altcoin are both good investment to take and if possible try to divide your investment to both coin for me I would keep a 70:30 proportion in making my investment because as bitcoin continue to appreciate there are also promising alts that will hit higher in the coming years like ethereum, litecoin and other ICOs O don't think it would be bad if we will not focus on one item I mean the more coins we have the more chance of sucess.

[Typogre12]

Better put your attention to altcoins right now. Bitcoins cannot support many more investors and its technology needs some updating.

[Yousint0r]

Best one is altcoins because it is more possible to bumping next year.

some coins like litecoin and ripple may have 300% next year

[Raihan050]

Both of are good for invest and also profitable. Bitcoin and chose some altcoin which are potential in market both enough to make you profitable.

[Ararbermas]

Both is good in investing but as of know it think we should invest in alt coin cause it has a possibility to increase even to slow ,but for me in my opinion this will make a good return after.  Yeah that two are different which is the disadvantage of bitcoin it can jump to a high vlaue after the correction but the disadvantage it will fall constantly.  and the alt even slowly climbing for sure it will never fall hard like bitcoin. And as i see on that both, alt coin is much better to hold nowadays instead of bitcoin.

[Utanjaran]

I think, altcoin has very good potential in 2018 later. Because, this year they arguably collapsed which of course the investors will try to make its value again valuable.

[Typogre12]

Well, bitcoins technology is aging. It has now big transaction fees and slow processing of transactions. I guess we will have to put investments to altcoins.

[Granxis]

The year 2017 is a golden year for Bitcoin, but it can no longer afford expectations. These reasons can be a road-breaking decision for Bitcoin in 2018. The year 2018 contains similar dangers in altcoins. But if I had to make a choice, I'd give the altcoins a chance.

[naidray]

Why can't it be both?

That is one important thing to do when trying to invest in altcoins. The good thing about the market is that there are so many coins with great potentials and very good team which shows that they have great future and investing in coins like that really makes a lot of sense as they will grow in the long run while one makes a lot of profit on them.
