Bitcoin is less stable than some ALTs !

[PlusOne88]

A coin maybe most stable when there are no or almost completely no usage at all. The prices will stick to the bottom for which I think those percentage might have shown though not totally. But bitcoin is a coin that is used by many, so I think those changes we see are the result of people trading their coins. The stability of prices on XRP could be due to the number of coins they released each month. I think it keeps the price stable relative to its volume.

Bitcoin does have a fluctuating journey that continues and fluctuates, this gives many different requests and offers that will continue to change. Altcoin may have many relatively stable values because enthusiasts still take into account every move.

I think some Alts drop the price too and many good alts drop the price more than 80%. I think its the same with bitcoin because as main currency in cryptomarket, its affecting to most altcoin price in market.

I think you Bitcoin is more stable than any other altcoin. Look at the Bitcoin volatility index to make sense of it as how volatility has reduced over the years. Check the charts here https://bitvol.info/

Bitcoin are like the rest of altcoins. They all not too stable and can be say nothing was so stable in cryptocurrency aa their price depend on buyer more then seller. Where no buyer so their will be more seller and the price will go down. Simple as that.

[Bitdressa]

it is true for now that bitcoin is being unstable compared to Altcoin, which is starting to be used in 2017, rather than with bitcoin, which has long been one of the first electronic money. You can say this altcoin is increasing compared to bitcoin.

[dss.123]

we cant figure out the stable price of bitcoin and alt coins because there is always ups and down in market.
the price will drops in both bitcoin and other alt coins.

 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?

It's just a matter of time and situation, in fact no one can predict when a crypto currency will be stable or not, all have their own time and situation when they will be stable and not

[alonelyorange]

Maybe bitcoin is the only one coin have potential and always growing up, you can start investment at bitcoin because daily day you can get profit and change price of bitcoin.

[Roni116]

In the short term, alt is more stable than bitcoin, but in the long term, bitcoin has better stability and will survive, because it becomes the main coin and is more in demand.

[Christinebeauty]

I think choosing only 2 alts to compare to bitcoin wouldn't give a much accurate comparison. There are a lot of other altcoins out there who couldn't even survive the severe bear market and they are dead now. I still think altcoins are more volatile than bitcoin.

Alts are always stable whether for short or long term but in some instances alts follow on what is the movement of btc therfor we can sometimes say that alts are unstable if btc is also unstable  but the occurence can happen rarely  .

bitcoin has better stability and will survive, because it becomes the main coin and is more in demand.

If bitcoin is indemand do you think it is stable ? I guess it isnt because the price can oftenly rise from time to time if many people buys or invest on it .  

Bitcoin does have a fluctuating journey that continues and fluctuates, this gives many different requests and offers that will continue to change

But even altcoins do also fluctuates because it is still part of a crypto and cryptocurrencies are known to be volatile compare to other currencies .

[Wong Kalong]

It seems that bitcoin has stability in the long run, and every move always affects the altcoin. The movements that occur are not too sharp and tend to be slow but sure. The beginning of the year will be a better movement and can increase the confidence of enthusiasts returning to crypto.

You are right. Some altcoins have no volatility because nobody is trading them. You can find many altcoins with very low volume and price traded on some manipulative exchanges like yobit and compare them to Bitcoin to prove a point. It won't mean anything. In general altcoins are more volatile than Bitcoin because they depend on Bitcoin and on themselves. Exceptions can always be found but they don't disprove the general rule.

I always think about XLM and I always believe that coins will remain strong even though BTC prices are down and so far I always buy XLM from the money I get from work and I will hold it until the coin price is at the highest rate, because the development of XLM is also very good and many agents have received coins so that XLM is worthy of being a long-term investment.

Definitely your are perfectly correct mate all altcoin are affected if bitcoin goes lower their value, unfortunately bitcoin fluctuations as of now are stay in good not waving huge percentage up and down.

True coin XLM does have potential, we also know that bitcoin has been able to compete and prove that the price of bitcoin is consistently top on the market. it's up to you to put your capital anywhere, most importantly you are able to deal with the risks that will come and I prefer to invest in Bitcoin.

The point is that bitcoin can be more volatile or can be more stable depending on market conditions, including buyers and sellers. so it's not always true if the altcoin is more volatile, sometimes bitcoin is very fast moving, while Ethereum is slower. it's only about market conditions in one coin

[coin8coin8]

I never think that Alts is more stable than Bitcoin. In my opinion, Alts is always on the edge of the cliff. Every day we notice that many Alts are dying. We will always selectively focus on those Alts that have a huge increase, more Alts actually are dead, but we ignored them.

In the past bitcoin was highly volatile because of the ways newbies rushed into it but now it becoming more stable than before and not because it is good than other coins but because it is more popular than others coins and that is why professionals prefer it to others coins.  I also believe that we should look at bitcoin as a currency and currency need to be stable in price before people can used it.
