Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin BTC, -0.10% is regarded as the world’s first decentralized digital currency, and was created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin is a deflationary currency whose issuance is capped at a total supply of 21 million coins. Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency and is traded on various exchanges and is also used in peer to peer transactions.

Why Bitcoin?
Bitcoin remains the main coin to watch as we approach the end of the year, and analysts are warning that the price may fall slightly lower as we near the “accumulation” stage. As a result, any new money entering the market will be drawn to BTC first, and institutional investors are waiting for an SEC decision on a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) by VanEck and SolidX on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), with the deadline being set for February 27, 2019.

Fidelity Investments will also launch the Fidelity Digital Assets spinoff that provides cryptocurrency trading solutions to institutional investors in 2019, while NASDAQ Inc. is also planning to list Bitcoin futures next year. In addition, December 19 marks the Cboe XBT Expiration Date and this represents the end of the final opportunity to trade the XBTZ18 Bitcoin futures contract.

I personally agree with the author's opinion about bitcoin, because to this day I have never doubted and continued to hold bitcoin. But for the other two alt I don't know for sure and maybe it takes time to research it. This article is helpful enough to add research material and thank you for the information you share here.

Yes, it is, I totally agree with the Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin has a huge potential in the next year. I have seen IOST has too many interesting updates in Q1 2019. This one is a bullish signal. There is no any problem with the NULS too. If the market condition goes good, those coins can reach the market cap. My personal opinion is, please do your own research before buying any coin and don't put your all money in one coin.

Referal links should be only posted on signature space since you are a newbie, you don't have a sig space. Reminding you of this..

So to sum it up, significant news greatly affect the price. Just like with ETH that is said to have a fork and the price did follow. Good thing NULS and IOST are in Binance, where I am having my trades. Just be careful on posting referral links as what the user above noticed.

for me personally, im still choose bitcoin and etherium rather than any altcoin out there, because i think neither bitcoin or etherium is the stable coin i have ever know.

Then why wouldn't you just report the thread and leave it to the moderator to take over so the moderator can judge him/her.

I choose bitcoin, and for the altcoin, I am confusing because there are too many altcoins I need to watch more. And besides that, all altcoin in the top thirty have the same opportunity to attend because they can increase in anytime. But I will check for ethereum, litecoin, dash, xrp, and eos and I won't close my eyes for the other coins too because I am sure that if I can buy many of them, I will make a lot of profit when the price can increase together.
