Some factors that decide which cryptocurrencies is best to invest for long term are
The market capitalization of the cryptocurrency: The higher the better.
The Usefulness And Features Of The Cryptocurrency
The Popularity of the Cryptocurrency: most popular is preferable
The Activeness of the Development Community: the more active the more chance of development.
All these features are present in Bitcoin so yes, it is a good long term investment. Beside Bitcoin, you can consider Ethereum, Ripple and Monero also.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

It is the most ideal coin to be held for a long term. But, there are still a lot of altcoins out there that are worth holding for a long-term. Ethereum is also a good coin worth holding for a long term and everyone knows that. There are projects that are partnered with big companies that will cost a lot in the future.

Well, holding for a long time period is not a bad idea but when you compared to holding some other good alternative coins that has greater profit potential will do you more better because the percentage increase in their values may be far ahead of Bitcoin.

For me, it is. I keep my bitcoin volume increase through trading because I know in long tern it will give me massive profit.

In the future, Bitcoin will be the most common currency in five years and Bitcoin's price will be nearly 50k by the end of this year. So this can be a profitable way to make money in a short period of time. That's why holding Bitcoin can be the most money-making platform

choosing what coin to hold depends on each strategy, but for me, BTC likes Gold. Despite it has many disadvantages, it is trusted by many people in the world. It's trend is always growth in long term. So, holding BTC is one of the best way to earn money.

we know that bitcoin is the best long-term hold coins that will give us a big return in the future but this depends on how patient we can hold the bitcoin. and if we can hold while we still buy more bitcoin if the price gets down, I am sure that our profit will bigger and we don't have to sell all of our bitcoin because we only need to sell 1 bitcoin to get much money. but I see that it's only a few people that can be patient to hold the bitcoin and the other people is getting panic because of the price is too volatile.

Yes Bitcoin is the only coin we have to buy in the long run and it's because it's proven and the closest to be used in many real people. With Bitcoin being the best known and most tested coin, it is unlikely to be lost. I think this is a value store more reliable than other coins. That does not mean that it will be the most profitable and sure coin.

This was past and it was necessary to change the way this world sees encryption.
i think it is better to follow new projects and invest in them to gain more profits
Bitcoin can double in the year to x2 x3, but new currencies can be x10 ,x100 that is more profitable as i see

I think so...because if you look at the chart of the bitcoin from the day it started, and compare the price today, if only you were to acquire that early, surely you are already rich this time. That is actually the regret of the late bitcoiner, that if only they started early, it has already a big profit.

So far in cryptocurrency ecosystem,  bitcoin has proved to be constantly performing against all odds  and as for long term hold,  there is no coin that has performed better than bitcoin.

ETH in my opinion.
now 1 btc = 11 eth
next year 1 eth = 11 bitcoin

How did you came up with that opinion that Eth will looks like will surpass Bitcoin in just one year? No other coins can surpass Bitcoin specially the Ethereum because Bitcoin has no product to promote in which the people will just invest directly into it unlike Altcoins and Ethereum in which they need to advertice their products just to attract more investors and that is why i wonder how it will surpass Bitcoin if the ICO advertisements will start to be ban on June?

I have been in the market for awhile, and always hear the same mantra about trading to hold more Bitcoin and not Fiat.  I bought into the same mentality for a long time, but I'm changing my tune.  In almost every industry, first generation leaders are replaced by competition.  From Sears, Kmart, Nokia, Motorola, Yahoo, MySpace, etc.  Although Bitcoin is the current crypto reserve currency, I think that its dominance is threatened by ALT coins with faster, cheaper transactions and greater scalability.  What do you think?  Is it smart to hold Bitcoin as a long-term investment, or are there better choices among the ALT coins like Ethereum or Litecoin?
We can see that bitcoin prices are recovering extremely strongly, currently at $ 9500 level and still on a strong rebound and could hit $ 12,000 in trading day. Therefore, I believe this is the time to integrate so that we can invest in bitcoin. Currently the popularity of bitcoin is spreading all over the world so investing in bitcoin will be extremely usable.
Yeah bitcoin is still in the recover phase, is very unfortunate if you sell at this time just because you've got profit, why don't you wait longer to get bigger profit? that's what I'm thinking right now, and that's the reason why I still hold my bitcoin, bitcoin still recover so price will be higher in the next few days, so I'll be waiting for it longer Smiley

Agreed with you it can be possible but not sooner,Currently Bitcoin is leader since a decade and it will ruin in cryptoworld.Other coins like Ether,Lite coin have need more home work and introduce unique characteristics that investor should attract.

Having a diversified plan is always a good pick. Along with the same I prefer having bitcoin to be the primary asset for long term holding and then falls different other altcoins. In specific user who has lot of fiat can just invest into bitcoin with the best security features enabled can just leave it for years and get the biggest earning after years.

Where did OP go to?  He's actually a good poster.

Those first-generation companies listed haven't all "been replaced" by their competition.  Sears is being driven into the ground by a CEO who has raped the company for the past few years and for his own benefit.  It's an interesting story which I'd recommend googling.  KMart is in the same company as Sears, and with the same CEO.  The guy basically doesn't want to make any improvements to stores and is waaay out of touch with his customers.  MySpace is the only company that really got blown out by competition from FB, but Yahoo! is a close second.  The other companies are still around.

Most of the replies here are just shitposts, so I'm not going to add much more since nobody will read it.  Suffice to say I don't think bitcoin is going to be overwhelmed by anything currently on the market--I just don't see it, not even with ETH.  I'm not saying it's not possible, because it is, but bitcoin has the biggest user base among all the other altcoins and can essentially do everything the other coins can.

no doubt that bitcoin is the best long-term holding coin for every people which want to gain a big return in cryptocurrency. we admitted that bitcoin can give benefits in financial especially to make money but some people cannot hold their bitcoin for a long-term and they are panic when the price is getting down. we really need a strong hand to hold bitcoin because we know that the price is too volatile and will change in every time and for the people that can hold the bitcoin, they deserve to gain the big profit in the long-term.

Very interesting topic. And some stated are facts. As the saying goes only change is constant in this world. This is why despite bitcoin being the first and currently is the king in crypto space it needs some more developments too. It has to compete what these altcoins are offering in order to stay in power.

I have many bitcoins for long term purposes but I also have bunched of different altcoins too. All have great potentials so diversifying investments is our best security here.

Yes bitcoin is better for both short term and long term holding as in both conditions it will give us profit up to some extent but sometimes when the market is not going good then we have to avoid the short term holding because in this condition we may lose some amount of our money so we have to hold them for a longer time as in any situation the market recover in long term.
