Is there really any point in buying alts right now, I personally don't think so.

[Bardman]

Unless you are looking for a very long term investment, virtually all alts are just following bitcoin price, in fact most alts are getting weaker and weaker including big ones like eth or ltc, compared to bitcoin. I have been trading bitcoin only lately because there is really no point in trading anything else right now. Until we see the market recover and stabilize a bit which could happen soon or could take years, I really don't see much point in buying alts for the short term.

in bear market ppl trade for more alts, and some ppl still get profit.
still we need some ppl to buy in this situation or market never recover

[anggriani]

that's true, sometimes a lot of wrong perceptions, nowadays many people buy because of its low price, but when prices fall again they become panic. they just think of a profit, without an analysis and they want to get rich quick.

[Leah38]

I have bought some alts before the market crashed and no choice but to hold till market recovers. If I have some funds I'll still buy some alts and put them on sell order and just forget. It may take months but I'll just wait. No shit coins of course. Just those top 100 coins in the coinmarketcap. Some coins we may not notice but they actually climbs up the list. That we should look out for.

Alts will come back.  It's only a matter of time.  There are plenty of good deals to get right now if you do some research. Happy hunting!

now is the best time to invest . most alts are already at dip and market will recover by the end of this month . if you have some funds (only what you can afford to lose) ,then start investing in some solid projects and you'll thank me later .

[EastSound]

for me their are still good alts that are worth investing in, like omisego and appcoin, but it is only my own opinion, you are still the one who will decide when, what and where you'll put your money in.

[ReiMomo]

Altcoins at current situation is very cheap, instead Bitcoin is also cheap and you can buy any coins validating the potential of that now to get maximum returns in the long run. Buying when the price is down or cheap is the biggest rule one should follow in this crypto market and definitely the price will shoot up probably in another two to three months.

It all depends on individual risk taking capacity because if one can take a risk and invest in some good altcoins in this downtrend then they can expect a more profit when markets recover back. But people who wait for markets to recover back then they may miss the chance to buy good coins at a lower price so their profits will be less. But when you invest for a long-term then better never buy any shit coins instead go for good ones.

[Altcoins enthusiast]

The wise and professionals investors always buy when others are selling and sell when others are buying. Now that many people and traders are saying they can not buy altcoins and bitcoin the people that has been making money from the markets are now buying and holding to be keep for long.

What you say is true. Currently altcoin prices are declining, if you buy altcoin for trading it seems unfavorable, but good for long-term investment. If already purchased, then hold, patience and wait until the price goes up. This will take a long time.

People have been saying that since january and yet here we are, dipping even further. There is no way to know if it's going to recover at the end of this month or even at the end of this year in fact it may never recover to ATH. I personally think that most alt coins will die if the market eventually recovers. There aren't even that many solid projects. Look at top alt coins, tron nr.13 and verge nr.20  Verge is borderline a scam and tron copied their whitepaper, are those solid projects?

[renes]

If you think bitcoin will decrease to a certain price, wait for that to buy altcoins, now they are dependent to bitcoin. You are right, we should think about also bitcoin.

[bojokusugih]

This is the right time to buy alts if you want a long-term investment, if you just rely on bounty then it will make you rich. if you are investing this long term as your future savings as well.

That is how I have always viewed alts. Last year, people thought, finally, some alts are moving independently of Bitcoin! But I have always seen how alts move up and down with Bitcoin. Sometimes, it happens in the converse manner, but never for long, so I think people also look for this pattern sometimes - as in, alts go up while BTC goes down.

The proof of BTC being still the best is now. See % of decline from ATH and most alts are doing far worse.

Correct our all predictions failed but what to do we don't have other choices, I too think the market will not recover at the end of this month but i have little bit hopes that the market will recover at the end of this year. I don't have hopes on all projects but i think the main projects like BTC, ETH and NEO will recover ASAP.

even for me at this time that see this less stable condition we can use. Especially that Altcoin price is currently in a very difficult market conditions to predict. If calculated then Investing with Altcoin with a short time is the best option, Altcoin is not a good investment used in the long term, Altcoin too much risk so that the best time is to make decisions when it is seen profit margins. To me that little profit is not a problem, because the most important thing is that I can earn a stable and regular income. It will be much better because we will earn a sabil income every time.

[East2011]

Its a total gamble  for me. And i am willing to take all the risk just to earn big. There are so many good alts in the market. And we can buy them at low price.

Because they are trying to take any opportunity from the bearish trend of market itself. By bought more and more altcoin at the bottom and they are expecting to get profit as soon as there will be another jump again and they will be sitting on the decent profit just in short time. But that's always become the best  way to do at bearish trend.

[kryptqnick]

That really depends on what you call short-term and long-term investments. We hope to see the market recover this summer and if that is really going to happen then buying alts now and holding for about 4 months can turn out to be very successful. The coins are down and if one's funds are not then now is great timing! Well, if you feel paranoid about investing in altcoins then you can just buy bitcoin. I am sure we'll see its tripled price in 2018, most of us are. That might be not so much, but it's still great profit imo.
