Is hodling alts dangerous?

[TomUyamot]

Hodling is effective of course but it is not effective simply because it is effective as a strategy in itself. It is effective because a lot of cryptocurrencies are proven to grow in the long term rather than on a short-term basis. That is true because projects, well, only the legitimate ones of course, are going take some time for them to finally accomplish the specific milestones indicated in their roadmap. However, everything is dependent upon the coin you are holding. If you are hodling a shitcoin, even if you are hodling it for more than 5 years, it will still remain to be a shitcoin, worse, dead shit.

if you are in the profit on altkoinam, it is better to fix the profit. And the best thing was to do it a month or two ago. Leave only those coins that have a strong foundation - waves, strat, xem

[cryptomeo]

Depends on the altcoins you hodl, mate. Most of altcoins will be gone within few yers? months?I bet on utility tokens making headway in 2018/19.  Tokinazation that incentivize users will be a trend and making a breakthrough if one of these ICO making a breakthrough with huge userbase.

if investing in altcoin we must be smart in exploting moments when prices rise or fall.
because the most important is not his coin but is his profit that we must take as the price starts to rise

Holding Alts are nt dangerous we need the profits now and then into cash then buy alts at dip that is the only way we can make profits from crypto currencies

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 

And tell me better what now it is not dangerous to do in the crypto-currency. Always and everywhere you have to act at your own peril and risk, and about the appearance of new coins and the reduction of the current price it is wrong, because all coins are individual and have different characteristics and functional.

for now I feel that holding a coin is not a dangerous thing, just in case you are in a hurry to sell coins because you fear your loss will fall into regret

[Duzter]

Holding of altcoins has been got risk in it, smart people easily overcome it selling when the price reaches a higher value and once again buys it back when the price falls. Some users out of greed expect big value to be reached without analyzing the market for the respective asset and this leads to loss making holding to be dangerous.

[Raufjoze]

If you don't really have enough knowledge on the coin that you are holding then it's a yes. And even if knew that the coin is promising, there's competition, issues, problems inside the team, financial, and schedules that you need to watch that will indicate if it still worthy to hold or it's time to sell.

What I see dangerous is having an altcoin that has no prospects or potential. That's why it's always good to detect the promising coins you want to hold. Now there are plenty of alternative coins and even more that emerge, competing to occupy the top ten

Holding alts isn’t dangerous, unless you hodl some scamcoins. It involves higher risk than BTC holding, but still it’s not dangerous if you have some nice coins in your portfolio. LTC, ETH, ADA, Ripple hodling is less risky and quite profitable.

It will also be dangerous if you do not get updates on what is happening on your coin. Having knowledge in what you hold or invested means a lot to know if that project still has potential to recover or potential in the near future.

- Yeah, all depends on altcoin that we are holding, if there is only one shitcoin and around there are always bad news, holdings will not be a good option for us, we would be very prone to freezing money then losing money in that situation. Therefore, what we need to minimize the danger is good and potential altcoin, usually that is top altcoin, and to achieve profits that make us satisfied, we should analyze the market, future trends and community of that altcoin, these are the basis for determining the value of coin

[sportics]

If you keep everything in one coin then certainly it is dangerous, if you have broken the investment portfolio on 3-4 positions that is not.

[alrez]

Of course dangerous to hold our altcoin, except on altcoin that has been proven to survive in the market. And we do not know how long it will last, we should keep an eye on that coin.

[Niobeh]

I don't find holding of altcoins to be dangerous, because among the entire altcoins listed on coinmarketcap very few grew while bitcoin was declining in value. But now as the price of bitcoin has started to increase, most of the altcoins too started to increase. This confirms profit on holding of altcoins.

You have a point my friend.And for me holding alts is not dangerous as long as you choosed the best alts that a big potential to grow.

when altcoin prices are falling, wait for the price to go up, needs to be done for a months or more. This is what is usually done by reliable investors. In a careful way, altcoin holding can bring huge profits. This early year you have to hold your altcoin and also do not worry about the decline in altcoin prices.

This especially goes out to all the weak hands out there. I think most of the people who have weak hands are also the greedy ones. They are always lazily yet very eagerly waiting for the prices to multiply in value in so quick a time that they seem to be demanding an instant wealth. They forget to consider that while altcoins can give them the wealth they badly want, the altcoin market is still a highly volatile one. The altcoins do not just rise and rise until the moon. There are always dumps once in a while. There are always corrections after a pump. 

[GangNamSK]

I think when choosing the wrong altcoin to invest new dangers, if you choose the right altcoin the potential and hold them will never be at a loss. I think we should invest in CMT, this is the most potential coin on the market today, I think CMT will replace BTC and ETH in the next few years.

[coolws]

No, I think holding is a good solution when the trading market is not good. What you should do is do hold these with potential and interesting features rather than every alt coins. Of course, it depends on the price of the BTC, so choose them potential ones and sell them when the price is higher than your expected price.

[Lerva]

At current price level not at all.I think it's the only logical thing to do at the moment.Lets wait for some better times/prices..
