It's shouldn't be called dangerous, it should be called risky if you were to ask me about this question. There are some risks and they're obviously valid in lots of application of the commodity and equity markets. This is valid on coin market then.
My answer is similar like yours. Holding any coin/token shouldn't be called "dangerous" because it's not "dangerous". While you decided to hold any token, there are 3 possibilities from your investment later, first, your money will grow if the token/coin you hold are increased. Second, your investment will decreased because your coin/token's value/price are decreased, Third, your investment is almost/same like your initial balance because price are likely stable.

I think it would be safe and harmless to invest in any altcoin. Most importantly we always look at the moment and do not get exposed to the issues that have sprung up.

hodl the alts with a working product, good team, delivers on time on their roadmap, etc. a lot of coins are in the conceptual stage and no working product yet so the risk is very high if they will be able to deliver

it depends on the altcoin you are investing ofcourse you have to be very careful there put your own criteria and what suits you Mine is basically 1- the team and how active they are on social media - telegram especially 2- altcoin features what new things the coin is bringing to the table 3- its partnership these days this is actually becoming a universal thing 4- activity on the sites and then social media
Yeah,,, holding ALTS is good if you follow some criteria mentioned above.. but it is very bad that you will regret later to hold scam coins... So we have to be very selective to what ALTS we are going to invest our money on ~

So we have to be very selective to what ALTS we are going to invest our money on ~ Yup, it is not dangerous as long as we hold the right coins. Coins with great project, great team, and great marketing plans had the potential to be better investment than BTC or ETH ~

I don't think hodling alts are dangerous at all. Maybe it is a bit dangerous if you hold alts that are new comers with poor development team. But if you are hodling elite, tested and stable alt coins like alt coins in the top 30, i think you don't need to worry at all.

Not all altcoins, there are few altcoin that have a good project with experience team behind and i'm sure that after a couple of months or years the current value will be times 10 or up. Risky is a better term than being dangerous, there are possibility of losing your money but also possibility of gaining so much profit

Last year alts rise a lot. I dont know the average percentage. But when I check coins in the market at year 2013 lots of them dead now (too low ranks). probably new tech coins won them (like peercoin, namecoin, ixcoin etc) Also we are following new ICO s and most of us expecting too much gain from new coins which are not at the market. If our ICO expectations will happen, when they added to market, current market coins will go down. kind of paradox ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Now many people say that investing in alts is how to throw money away. In what they are right, because all the alts went into decline, but if you invest for a long time, now is the time. But there is always a risk without it in the marketplace anywhere.

I think so because most of alts. are not stable and most of alts. after the bounty release the price will go down the good timing when you buy alts is after releasing coinmarketcap.

I do not think it 's risky. Most of the money is earned through altcoins. We can see huge amounts of money with the right investment. the risk is everything, the earnings here are also high. Hodl is great investment style ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Most of them will fail, it depends on which coins you hold. If you hold coins with no chance, then you are very likely to fail with them in the future. Good coins may die as well.
yes definitely if you hold coins , with less to succeed in the future, then the coin will be a dump, try to find coin with high probability to succeed and definitely you can earn a lot with it . Look for coin with long term investment if your planning to hold one .

Just choose the alts more carefully. Many of them in the next couple years will take the place of today's leaders. In order not to be afraid, try to fix a part of the profit once every six months.

Holding is tje only way one can make some from your investment but one still neet to take some precaution in other to aviod uncertainty in the crypto currency market. This is because there is no single coins that will continue to increase in value on a regular basis because of the market fluctuations. Any time you see that you have reached your target from there is point for you to keed but ti srll out and take your profit.

Correct since there are type of coins which has questionable use and some of them are totally shit so selecting the correct net with existing running platform is a must for choosing so that risk upon holding some coins will be lessen and chances to gain will became more higher. But we shouldn't expect hard upon holding but instead we should look for good experiences on it so that we may know the flaws of each actions we take.

But if you came to crypto you probably should understand that at any moment you can lose all or vice versa to become a millionaire. This attracts many people to crypto.

You have to make sure you are not holding shit coins. If the project is good then I don't see any problem in holding altcoins. I believe you don't need to hold for several years...just hold for a reasonable time and when you have gained profit then sell them.

I don't think its dangerous to hold alts, but you should have a back up plan and timeline until when you are planning to hold your alt coins, its also very important to be updated about the projects you are involved so you can protect your investments and you can see the progress of the project. It takes a lot of research and study to be in this industry.
