Is hodling alts dangerous?

[ASHLIUSZ]

It actually depends on the coin that you are going to hold, there are coins that die or lacks/slow in development which I think is not a good indicator to hold. If you hold a coin without a good potential for too long, you might have missed a lot of potential income from it. So, make your own criteria as to when are you going to hold.

Such incidents take place quite often, even some coins gets out from the usage. You cannot find it anywhere else, and it simply sits in the wallet and cannot be used for trading and other needs. Next thing is the hard fluctuations, to avoid such instances it is good to trade it often and keep a small value as reserve which is risk free.

Coins are now emerging very much and good quality, they are able to compete and shift the other coins to enter at the top position. If your ICO coins are not on the market better at hold, actively monitor the market movement. After the coin appears for the first time in the market you immediately sell it. The first coin enters the market usually has a high price.

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 

if you have doubts on any project during ICO then wait for exchange listing .
scam ico are different things .
but holding alts is the best way to secure maximum profit .
with top coins you can only earn x2 or x3 profit in a year .

people hold alts and maximize their btc (selling alts for btc)

Is it dangerous to keep old altcoins? Here, each situation needs to be discussed individually, because everything depends on the project, what technical part it has.

it is not dangerous to protect the old altcoin. depending on how the development of altcoin is in the future, if it is still a chance in the future I think it is not dangerous if you hold the old token

Long term can be suicide for your altcoins, but though some of those lacking knowledge may felt in danger because of hesitations. They should do more research before buying those crypto coins for trading. Some of the coins will not do good for trading, it might lose its value in a long run and certainly have zero demand in the future. If you choose a good coin for holdings, well definitely you don't have to be afraid of and of course you'll be able to have more inputs from its road map before deciding to continue the journey of your alts particular on its community.

Holding isn't really good anytime just like on what most people are suggesting but without even thinking on the risk behind it if you do let your coins hold too long as you have said hesitations would be there sometimes we do make mistakes and might sell off on earlier times and the coin pumped out in long term which cant be avoided because we don't know the future but if we do have knowledge and experience we might able to hold it up even further. Dangerous things can really happen anytime if you wont able to get out on the right time.

Hodling is not really dangerous, yet is have a little risk but if you're wise enough to choose a reliable altcoins there's nothing to worry about. Besides hodling is a technique in cryptoworld to gain profits.

[crazylikeafox]

Not at all, it can actually save you from losing more from the dip. Since the prices of altcoins are down, it is more advisable to hold all coins and wait until the value of coins to increase again. Holding your alts can surely help you earn a huge profit. So it is never dangerous to hold alts.

[luckyindia]

we need to balance of all coins while holding all coins nothing is dangerous in holding but we should nt lose balance in holding less speculative coins in market

Many people depending on their investment have earned too much money and others just the opposite maybe even using
similar or similar techniques. That's why I think it's very dangerous because it depends on the currency and how it is handled.
marketing at that time but it also depends a lot on us to know how to invest.

[cezariusss]

I would say yes, blindly hodling is dangerous, just because crypto market has cycles. If you don't play around waves you lose a lot

We just need to get and see the timing that we all waiting, there are coins that really have potential and worth holding, especially those that are not yet listed on bittrex and binance, those that are underdeveloped and seems that the product is useful. They are the coins that we should hold and be updated on their progress.

[Xxxurrrad]

Some of my friends think that the altcoins are not from the top 20 only for speculation. I so not think, in my portfolio many coins, which appeared quite recently and which I plan hold.

[wndrbr3d]

HOLDing is not dangerous at all, especially if you are not a greedy one. Fix your profit periodically - accumulate BTC/ETH in your portfolio. Cryptocurrencies market has a very big potential in future.

[rynanosih21]

So far I think holding Altcoin harmless. The price movement of altcoin in coinmarketcap influenced by Bitcoin is not a dangerous thing, Bitcoin does have an influence on Altcoin.
But we also have to understand not all Altcoin able to compete in the existing Crypto market is sinking because its value is very low.
Therefore, choose a coin that has good potential to survive in coinmarketcap.

[cramcram21]

I think there are tons of alt-coin out there and some of them would end up being dump while others get pump.
So for holding them in a long run you should first make some research about them.

[dumbdragon]

Hold is rich, it is poor. A situation where high-risk people can win. By this time the winning rate is 50%.

It seems to me that any operations with a crypto currency are very dangerous. You must realize this. Even if the market is actively growing, do not think that this will continue forever.

[bitcoinveda]

I don't find anything dangerous with the altcoin, but only one thing you have do is wait and hold the coins because if you invest in potential then there is no need of bothering. Cryptocurrency market is becoming popular and the chances of increasing price is very huge.

[nur rochid]

It seems to me that any operations with a crypto currency are very dangerous. You must realize this. Even if the market is actively growing, do not think that this will continue forever.

besides that we have to see whether that altcoin has a high circulation, and we should see that altcoin product is much needed by society, so that it will make future of altcoin better

if we understand the indicators for each of the coins we analyze, then the chances will be very small, the most important is that we know where they will run in the short and long term, what we need is the potential for rapid movement to anticipate everything possible happen.

It is just dangerous if you can't be patient and you are investing in coins that someone told you to invest cause the best way is to get to know coin on your own and invest amount of money that you are able to invest and in some kind of situation lose.

two weeks ago there was a very good situation, which made it possible to invest very promising coins at cheap prices. If someone was afraid to do it, because of the unstable market, then there is nothing to be done about it.
