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

[1BTC EQUALS 1CAR]

I'm sure bitcoin will resume it's bullish moment in 2018 but it depends on what altcoins are you holding. I have few altcoin where the team behind them are going to surprise us in the first quarter of 2018 and some are even on the start of January.

Why can't it be both?

Same, I think choosing one is much riskier than having both bitcoin and altcoin investments. It’s better to have two option and can also lessen the probability of losses because two is better than one. But you must choose the best and promising alternative currency like litecoin or ethereum. So always take time to think to eventually get the best.

Altcoins are just waste of time as well as waste of money it’s better to invest in bitcoin lone because there is no risk in it and also people know more about bitcoin and this is positive thing for investing in bitcoin whereas alts are large in no and there are no specific figures for their users so I don’t thinks so that taking risk at so much higher level is acceptable go for bitcoin all the time and my choice will stay same whatever happens.

I don't think so. Altcoins are also profitable. There are many altcoins who performed good this year. One of them is ETH, the price movement of ETH was very stable and very profitable to its investors.

when people talk about altcoins and their prices they are talking about the price in BTC and altcoins have performed horribly in that front which caused their USD value also go wild with the swings.

in case of ETH nothing about it has been ever "stable", i don't know where you are looking but the swings are crazy. it started with a pump this year and went up from 0.01BTC to 0.15BTC in only 3 months (1400% in 3 months is not called "stable") and then started its downward spiral where it got dumped step by step to 0.02BTC (again 86% loss in 4 months is not called "stable") and not it is starting to rise up again with another pump.

Well those ups and down are normal. Also in bitcoin, there were those pumps and dumps no one have ever imagined. What I am saying is, although there were this fluctuations, price is still good and still going up.

This is a huge world and just leaving your funds in one does not really seem like a good way to invest. Bitcoin may receive a huge share since it is more established, but the fact is that some other altcoins will keep doing good as well and increasing at large, so the best is just to hold some of them but definitely not for all of your capital.

Diversifying across many altcoins and still keeping big portion of capital for bitcoin must be a wise idea for both naive as well for professional investors and traders.

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.

Altcoin will have good prospect in 2018. Some coins such as XRP, BCH, NXT are pumping high recent, those price was growing fast in month. I'm sure this still happen in next year. It is good to invest on those coins.

[LuckyHopper18]

They are both profitable by next year. Some altcoins are showing signs of growing by next year, it will depend on decision but I think diversifying is a good thing to do.

[shinjunobi09]

For me bitcoin is still the number one choice for me because up until now it is still the king in cryptocurrency  still has the highest value in terms of price. But don't get me wrong I am not stating not to invest in alternative coins because there are key potential alternative coins out there which have a potential to cope up or even surpass bitcoin in rhe future like for example litecoin, ethereum.

[prabhu]

Bit coin investments are the best investment in 2018.Now the price is going to go down, but the price will rise.Alt coins will grow, but Bit coin will be the top

[Rana590]

The price of altcoin depends on the price of bitcoin. If you want to invest for long time then you can choose bitcoin. Otherwise for short time investment, altcoin is the best choice. But you should choose the potential and good altcoin. Better suggestion for you to invest on both bitcoin and altcoin.

[zulkarnaen]

I think both are good enough for investment but certainly have differences for the type of investment that will be done, and I agree if bitcoin would be better if done for long-term investment while altcoin course for short-term investments.

[markdario112616]

Like any others, Both would be ideal. Since the crypto world is emerging and a lot of things can happen next year. Long term or short term investments needs to be studied before engaging. We all know that Bitcoin has the brightest future of among any other cryptos but some alts do shows potential that Bitcoin has. But like what I've said a thorough study is needed, It is indeed a lot could happen but we don't know whether its good or bad.

There have been some promising altcoins out there which are worth investing on despite bitcoin's continuous good performance. It's on a bullish trend so bitcoin is still worth investing on. Why not invest in both? It's always good to expand your portfolio. Both have plenty of potential to grow, however it's a matter of choosing and assessing the best altcoin.

[fulmetal08larz]

I suggest you diversify your portfolio. It is recommended to keep 70% of your funds to the Big 3 of crypto world: BTC, LTC, ETH. Then, put the rest of it to atleast 5-10 alts which you have made research on. 2017 has been a remarkable year for cryptocurrencies and I hope that 2018 will become a better year. There are many promising altcoins out there which could return you a good profit either for trading or long term investment.

[Tamim121]

I think both are best to invest in 2018. For long time investment bitcoin is best and short time investment altcoin. But you need to chose the stable and potential altcoin. Now it is fully depend on you.

[BitSat]

Yes my suggestion is also going with both because after investing in both you have less risk and both have good potential for giving good profit as bitcoin can touch new highs so investing in long term much better for altcoins you must study and do some research because without this its never been wise decision to invest in this as many scam coins coming and taking good amount of investors

[Biscutard]

I would rather invest in both coins because either of them will go fall i wouldn't loss that much of my investments. More new altcoins now are starting to rise, so i'd rather wait and see them grow. 

[Altero]

If your are not started yet to invest with them, I suggest that you invest with altcoins. There is a lot of altcoins that are dumping today and could give us a huge profit, and I'mprttey sure that it will surge by next year. Though bitcoin are really profitable since from the start but considering the price today in buying is really expensive compared to Altcoins, unless you have guts and enough capital for this.

[Blue2012]

It is hard to choose, which one if you dont know really much each coins. You have to take a little research about it, so if possible it is good to invest on both. Also I think the changes in price of bitcoin depends somehow on altcoins movement. Whichever you prefer, its up to you how will you risk all your coins to each of them.
