Bitcoin is less stable than some ALTs !

[xuan87]

I think Bitcoin is more stable than other coin, if there is other coin than more stable than Bitcoin is the usdt, other than that it's a dead coin, the one that makes Bitcoin more stable is because there are numerous of supply and demand for the coin,while alt most of the time only used for pumping and dumping

[legenduim]

Because the dominance of bitcoin in the crypto market is huge, it is reasonable if volume up and down is huge. do not compare with altcoin, they have a small volume.

Bitcoin cannot be compared with any of the existing cryptocurrencies. That is true. As for some stability, here, BTC dominance is stable. The prices of all cryptos are very volatile.

BTC can not be less stable than the all the other outcomes when it is a base for all the rest. Everything that is happening to BTC has a huge impact on the rest of the market, it is inevitable.

 So regardless of the reason of this last dip. I noticed 2 of the top 10 coins ( XRP and XLM) sort of survived the dip and performed well against BTC which usually is not the case comparing this dip to  previews dips . take 11th oct 2018 for example.

in USD rate in the last 7 days :

BTC dropped : 13.48%
XRP dropped : 6.7 %
XLM dropped : 9.2%

also XRP surpassed ETH "not for the first time" but this time i think it will last.


I think that these 2 coins will remain more stable than bitcoin for a long time.

seems like centralization or semi-centralization in crypto is going to take over one way or the other. I hope not but we shall see soon.

tell me what you guys think?

Go have a look on arbitraging this token has survived the best in this severe market condition. One day back it was trading at 11$, few days back price for one arbitraging tokrn is 3$ so my vote is arb and loc because these both survive in these harsh market situations.

Bitcoin cannot be compared with other coins. Bitcoin Rank No:1 in the crypto world and the value and Dominance of BTC is in good numbers which cannot be the same for other altcoins. Due to some fiat money we cannot measure btc with other Altcoin. Bitcoin will be the top in the crypto market and lead the growth of digital currency system.

The problem in your argument is you are comparing the 2 most successful alts on bitcoin. You are comparing bitcoin with the alpha of its other category which is alts. We have a thousand number of alts and you are generalizing that alts are more stable at bitcoin. You can see even only at top 10 that alts have more problems than bitcoin and that makes your argument invalid.

[ethereumhunter]

I don't think bitcoin is less stable than the altcoin because you know when bitcoin price gets the dump, the price will going to the lower price, and we already see that before. But if we talk about the stable coins in the market, maybe you can check on usdt, usdc, paxos, tusd. From $1, if the price is down, the price will not go too far, and it will back to $1 again.

domination only grows in XRP, ETH and BCH https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage

I totally agree that bitcoin can be less stable than other coins, the crypto market is control by supply and demand and i am sure that as time goes by more and more people will see the value in other coins and not bitcoin only.

bitcoin is less stable because it is a high volatile type of crypto while other coins like alts are not .  when it comes to demand . altcoin were also indemand but still they are still more stable than btc .

Overall ,  btc is better this way because we can possibly earn huge profits due to the effect of volatility . not to mention that we can also loose more that we can earn  but that is up to you on how you manage you coins .

Not just because those two mentioned altcoins falls smaller percentage than bitcoin meaning bitcoin is less stable,sometimes its just happen that some manipulators vested money on some alts just to pump and victimized other investors before the decide to dump ,so never rely on just a weekly movements instead always check the market capitalization

[saumang2m]

Yes Bitcoin is less stable than others. So people like Bitcoin more. Due to the very unstable, people get good profit in Bitcoin. So being volatile is a good thing for Bitcoin.

[MULTIK888]

Any of the tokens at a certain moment has some positive news affecting its price. Therefore, it happens that the entire market is in the blood and a few tokens grow. There is nothing surprising. Today ripple fell more than bitcoin, and tomorrow everything will be the opposite-it's the market.

[jagdeepjd]

Its not like how you are thinking actually xrp and xlm had their bad times too and they were very volatile at those times. And now btc is facing the heat and being volatile due to a lot of manipulation and many other reasons.

But yes if you consider the shorter time frame then these coins are quite stable as compared to market dump.

Human brains work in strange fashion. A few days ago when bitcoin prices were stable at 6k people were complaining that it was "too stable" and that market was not worth putting money in. Now when there has been a down trend and a correction upto 4k people are complaining it to be "too unstable". Humans are never happy with anything - you give them A they ask for B and vice-versa

If we do check price charts compared with last year there has been a drop but not leaps and drops so I would say it has been a simple bearish trend and not volatile.

[Shohanur]

Bitcoin still better coin than any other coins. Bitcoin is leading many altcoins. So it is the boss of crypto currency market. Day by day the popularity of Bitcoin also increasing. Bitcoin has enough value and potential.

[nicko122]

Some alternative cryptocurrencies may not fall as much in price as Bitcoin during problems in the market. But at the same time, they are not so valuable, people do not invest so much money in them, and therefore the negative impact may not be so strong.

[Twentyonepaylots]

It's  not comparable with the Alts as btc is currently undergoing a temporary dip that will recover few weeks from now.  Alts should be compared with the other alts and not with bitcoin since the price value is no match with the comparison. Nothing can match with btc as this currency had surpassed many trials within 10 years since it started in the crypto market and a current price value is way up high tan it was before. In my opinion, btc is still the most stable coin than the rest of the other crypto currencies.

 Everyone has its own opinion on what to become on Bitcoin and the  future of crypto market. I am sorry but i don't agree with the above question as posted. Bitcoin still remains the most trusted crypto in the market. Market price may goes ups and down beacuse of a lot issues confronting Bitcoin, the issue on Scammer, Hackers, and the never ending issue on Regulation. All of this negative indicators take the price of Bitcoin down. But even with this happining in the crypto market, it is the most trusted coin in the market.

Bitcoin is very volatile by the nature and that is nothing to be surprised of. Comparison with other altcoins isn't very appropriate and volatility is not the only feature that should be measured when estimating the value and success of some coins.
No matter the high volatility and some issues that Bitcoin has, to my opinion there is no other coin that could be true challenge to Bitcoin or some that could achieve its success any time soon and take its place.

Yeah, very volatile and yet its more profitable compare to other altcoins. I think the reason why some altcoins are more stable is that, there is no demand on that coin at all and the hodlers can’t sell higher that’s why they have no choice but to hold. Bitcoin is a big thing, this is the father of all and the success of bitcoin is also the success of all altcoins.
