Your first altcoin experience

[aleksandra_kickcity]

I bought altcoin in September and I lost several dollars, but now I have recovered

At least this is experience

[Cryptron]

My first experience from altcoin is from the airdrop. I got amaze when I able to exchange it. Ever since that day I decide to join the all other airdrops that is been appearing from the forum, hoping that I will be a participant to receive an airdrop. It is nice to have a ICO altcoin that will evolve and will be listed to other exchnages and will raise its value. But sometimes it is annoying to have a altcoin that will be abandon by its developer.

I met a bitcoin with a friend. at that time my friend had bought dogecoin. I adapted to it and invested a little.
I did not make any money
I dont love Meme's now

I think my first alt coin was being ETHER which was short after split to ETC, which was very confusing. But it has been fun times since then

I started with cheap altcoins. The most important thing to invest money in any coin is accurate analysis and opinion other people. With this basic steps now i can earn some money without hard working

[fempat]

My first crypto was dash. I never forget when the price started soaring immediately I sold my coins. Man, I felt like crying. I've since made up my mind to leave at least a $10 value coin for every coin I'm selling for long term.

Choosing good project is not easy. One has to take pains to study and look up reviews about it.

Just how do you go about with the accurate analysis? Are there any metrics you consider when doing your analysis?

I got the first altcoins from the opportunity to get them either from mining or from airdrops. I was waiting for the exchange office or I sold it to the interested parties.
I was profited from them, but later I regretted selling them because the price rose enormously.  Altcoins are a good option to be profitable outside the bitcoin as it is possible today.
Many exchanges accept eth exchange for other altcoins.

[EL-NIDO]

I decided always to hold 50 % of my investments in Bitcoin and 50 % in Altcoins. And I am happy so far of all.

I am already like a collector and search everytime for good projects to keep it in my portfolio.

My very first Altcoin was Ripple and then Ether.

[vintages]

It's always good not to put all your eggs in one basket, and that's what I did when I purchased an altcoin.
My first altcoin was Ethereum and I am so gald I chosed it, because I believed that it a coin of the future.

In the mean time, I also intend to purchase more of Moreno and Other coins, like Bitcoin Cash.
Hopefully, the price will pay off like bitcoin did.

How did you decide to buy some altcoins istead of BTC? And Why?

There are a lot of crypto and its not that easy to decide which one to choose. Some still believe that BTC is the best way to invest. However its getting too expensive.

Most altcoins do not have a true purpose and instead are tools to speculate once you understand that simple fact then it gets easier to invest in all kind of exotic altcoins, you need to look for a coin that you think is going to do fine in the next months and years, you look for a strong team of developers and a strong idea and then you invest on it and make money that way.

Bought eth and sold it the next day for 3% more, little earnings

[crenfrosck]

I do not remember which alt was the first one in my wallet, but the first alt that I bought was ETH. You probably will not make a mistake if you invest in a strong alt coin (or a smaller with a vision/useful product/great team) as even if it falls, with highest possibility it will eventually come back.

Lbc was the first one that i bought and it was durring the its ath period,eth was the first one mining wise as there was a lot of guides for it and how to start

I know what you mean, while not true, it seems as if the coin was just waiting for you to get out to skyrocket, that happened to me once and that is a lesson I have never forgotten, that is why I'm more a holder than anything, I plan to hold to my coins until my coins skyrocket that also means that I mostly invest in coins in which I believe have a strong future ahead of them.

Because i heard that X altcoin was increasing much more faster than bitcoin, that is why i started to buy that, it was a few months ago.
And i remember that i bought only because i didn't wanted to miss another chance to buy low.

[Cmoh]

Even I didn't know what an Altcoin is until May 2017. But I do remember that from browsing a site I got noticed a google banner ad and clicked it then it takes me to boscoin .io site. There I read about ICO and Bounty. With 1% of faith, I took to participate in the Bounty work for social media for 3 months and got some 400 BOScoin. But during this period of time, I read more and more article about ICO and bounty and then find it is a real money and we could cash it and enjoy. But still BOScoin is in my wallet, currently not released by blockchain but I cash out some other Altcoin. But, mostly I give my special thanks to BOS coin team as the price is now above $3 and about to hitting some exchange.

I'm sure everyone understands that 2018 will be the year of alternative crypto currency, and now it's time to buy promising coins.

Analyzing many other projects on such criteria as the total number of coins, work in the community, self-financing, technology, and, after seeing how the developer works, I made a choice.
My choice - Spectrecoin XSPEC

1) SpectreCoin (XSPEC)
Market Cap $30 559 742 USD
Very interesting project that will definitely go up in price! - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2103301.0
XSPEC - I'm sure that it will cost much more than now, I buy this coin for all my money!
Indeed an anonymous coin which is dynamically developed by the community!

Here is an article about the fact that a very profitable investment project - https://globalcoinreport.com/heres-why-now-might-be-a-good-time-to-pick-up-some-spectrecoin-xpsec/

I started buying altcoin about 6 months ago and I started with DGB. At that time DGB was worth more than 2000 satoshi. I invested in it because the community at that time supported it so much, I had trade surfing several times with it and also gained about 20%. However, after that there was a strong storm in the whole crypto market and the DGB was down continuously until now about 100 sts, luckily i cut it off at 1500 sts.

we can invest in BTC and other good altcoin. but today many people are losing confidence to BTC. so they go to altcoin.
ETH, LTC, BCH, CMT, is a good altcoin, and we can invest.
