Altcoins and bitcoin - Where is the good investment now?

[Dimon8]

It all depends on how much money you have. If you have enough funds to buy bitcoins, then they must be taken. If not, then choose stable and promising altcoyins.

My view on all of this is that you're going to have to pick a camp to go into, if the majority of your investments are in both of these alternative investment types then you're going to get crushed if either side faces a downturn. It's simple if you think about it and have been here long enough, as the Crypto market isn't like the stock market where certain sectors will take a hit and other sectors will go up -- you're going to get destroyed if Bitcoin goes down and you hold bitcoin and other crypto alts. Everything in crypto follows itself, once you notice this you're going to be better off then a good amount of people in crypto. Invest in Crypto (a small percentage of your investments) and then in safer, more traditional investments.

In my opinion bitcoin will be the good coin to invest always but altcoins also may give more profitable than bitcoin but finding which altcoin is what really matters,so I always go with the bitcoin.And if you can't afford to buy bitcoin for now then you can pick the altcoins to know which altcoin you can better pick some of the top ranked coins in the coinmarket cap.So finally for me bitcoin,for you ? you have to decide that.

Although bitcoin has been on the rise for the past few days, altcoins seem to have stalled. Between altcoins and bitcoin, what is a good medium term investment 

I'd do 50% 50%.Keep on your hands 50% of your bitcoins and buy with the rest altcoins that you faith in.They say "Never bet on 1 horse" right? So even the 50% you gonna invest on altcoins don't invest them on 1 altcoins,diversify them so that if an altcoin you invested in lose in value,other ones are there to back your losses up.

Good idea !! Thanks sir )

If you are thinking of investment right now, I think its better to buy some year end coins right now. Many are thinking that what happened last year will happen this year also although this is just a speculation.

When Bitcoin spiked in the last days, altcoins left behind because there are no new money for them. All of the new money are invested unto bitcoin and  that is the reason of its spike.

I think Bitcoin is the best coin to buy right now and for the long term. If I will choose for an altcoin, ETH and LTC will be the 2. EOS and XLM will be a good one to buy too for the long term.

I do not always compare how the development of Bitcoin and Altcoin, for me the most important is the prospective coin. When I can invest in a prospective coin then I will also have the opportunity to make a profit. That's why I prefer coins that have prospects and circumstances in different times will also differentiate the results that can be obtained. Look at the condition and situation of each coin that we will trade. We need time to do the analysis and it will determine what we get, the proper analysis in choosing the coin as the process increases and decreases will determine the results we will get.


Each coin has a good prospect to make a good investment, which becomes the determinant is how we make decisions within the right time as well.

In your opinion which altcoins would you consider promising at this point?

investing in bitcoin, willing to medium term or long term. while for if you want to invest in altcoin you should be able to choose a good coin, for example ethereum or eos

[shadyrifles]

The price of Altcoins is dependent on the price of Bitcoin. The rise of bitcoin will tend to the growth of altcoins.
At this moment the majority of altcoins are 2-3x below comparing to December 2017 price while bitcoin price is 2.5x from its all-time high. I think you should take the safe side and invest in Bitcoin or any other major altcoin.

Bitcoin is good investment now but not the best one, I would invest in coins that will be listed on coinbase because they have broader vision.

Every market is hard and highly volatile, most especially the altcoin market. The mistake a lot of us make is that we tend to center our mind hugely on the idea of holding by all means without knowing that learning how to trade can simply help us to get the best from the market both in the short and in the long term.

I actually decided to make do with trading and learn a lot since I just saw the nature of the bitcoin market volatility and how fast it can drop and I would rather take advantage of those fluctuations than keep holding. I personally suggest to go for bitcoin if you are not good at trading but must hold for years to get better benefits whereas all the altcoins may not give this promise. Hence bitcoin must be the better choice for everyone here.

[ralle14]

If I have to choose I would pick Bitcoin right away because it's less volatile than alts imo. Medium term ranges from 1-3 years according to google if you're going to invest on something for that long Bitcoin is a good option because halving is less than 2 years but Altcoins can also do better if you invest on the right one.

I prefer Bitcoin not Altcoins. Though it's depend on your investment term. Would you like to specify your term?
Is it Long term or Short term?

If you read the first post you wouldn't ask this question.

The price of Altcoins is dependent on the price of Bitcoin.

Altcoins are dependent but not all follow the gains and losses of Bitcoin some tend to lose more and others gain more because they can be used for pumps and dumps.

[ballerin and giroud]

I choose bitcoin for short term investment. The altcoin price movement is huge in temperature by bitcoin prices, so you can set up a benchmark for profit. And also the bitcoin price movement is very significant, within one hour alone can rise up to $ 1000 for me if you have much capital for investment and can buy 1BTC then you can get a good income per week with your notes you can analyze the price movements well.

Bitcoin is the torchbearer in the booming world of cryptoeconomy, a true digital gold, but is it good for investment now?
Let me summarize why its may not be good.
1)Bitcoin could be overpriced
2)Naive and sentimental investors
3) Low price of altcoin
4) Altcoins are not just coins
5) Altcoins are easy to mine
6) Some altcoins offer passive income
I heared lot of people say "Bitcoin is here to stay" but the truth is that "Blockchain is here to say" so bet on blockchain, the underlying technology, not on any single currecny.

[liuqi]

I personally support both the platform is good for future journey but we should invest minimum two coins our investment is Safe because nowdays Crypto currency is volatile so we should  hold additional supporting investment. I always recommend long term investment and if someone is looking to short term investment they decide our own that will make profit in future.

I have no doubt that some altcoin is really a good choice for short term investment, but the problem is, only few can be trusted and you need to make a lot of research first about the project before you start investing on it, unlike in bitcoin that is already proven and tested by so many investors here in this forum.

[Wutip]

From my experience better to keep 80% in bitcoin and other 15 in altcoins and 5 for ico and altcoins wich are below 100 in coinmarcetcap) of course all depends of your deposit.
Try also for traded but only in small amount of your deposit.

If you want to invest in the medium term, then you should invest in Bitcoin. Because altcoin is only suitable for long-term investment. Bitcoins are unstable, and prices are rising or falling rapidly in just a few days

[The Seller]

for the time being bitcoin shows a good upside potential and maybe it will continue to increase for some time to come. and for altcoin I think though not everything has increased but behind it still saved some coin which has good potential for medium term.
