Altcoins or Bitcoin?

[Kocret02]

The fact that altcoins like ETH, BCH and others are slowly gaining more use has made me thinking. If somebody were to HODL one currency, what could it be?
A 100% altcoin portfolio? Or a 100% bitcoin portfolio?
Or do you support holding multiple crypto coin holding?

for most people I see, if they have one coin. they will choose a portfolio of 100% bitcoin, because it is too risky if they are at one point altcoin. bitcoin will be easily set in price, and will easily be used as the best option in trading

Bitcoin is almost reach out volume of other altcoins and its a good way to invest to manage your funds and your profit, and I think it is pumping up since its been a long day for them to dump also.

i bet many would answer multiple crypto hodling  because they say that its always better to diversify your funds than going for one investment only which i also agree with that because there are many reasons why diversifying is good  .

such as it provide multi profit and also help you loose less because you arent putting your money on one investment only  and so on  .  if im going to choose what coin to include on my portfolio i think it would be btc and eth only .

having altcoin or bitcoin for me is a good investment and it would be better to have both because it has different price movements and you will have more opportunities to be able to get profits, with what coins you will be lucky

Personally I would go for a 100% BTC focused portfolio IF I had to choose between the two, but I believe that altcoins have higher growth potential than BTC just because we haven't seen any serious institutional funds pouring into them. Who knows what heights can them achieve if that would happen? BTC is the less risky choice though if the potential reward is somehow more conservative.

As you say, if you are a safe and low-risk person, invest 100% in bitcoin, and if you are high risk and big reward put your money in altcoin, depending on the benefit. The profit you want and the risk you can bear, in the altcoin market is often unstable so you need to watch closely and focus, for me, I will choose both, one for the long term and one for the short term.

Both bitcoin and altcoins are very high risk investment, if you looking for super duper mega ultra double extra safe then you should go for property investment .
But first of all op you should never ask for financial advice here, there's a lot of people randomly giving thoughts around, take this discussion as a consideration but never pick it 100% .

Always making plan B if your investment went wrong, don't put your money in a single investment that's the fatal mistake made by newcomers and educate yourself to manage money properly, that's all the basic instruments that every investor/hodler should have.

I agree with you. It is really necessary to divide the investment capital to suit the current market situation because the risk in this period is very high and if not careful, you will lose a lot. Right now invest more in Bitcoin and only hold a few good coins in the top 10 CMC because that is a very safe option. However, there should be a specific plan before making a decision and always calm when the market is down.

yes, the reality is like that. at least they hold 2 assets. Until now, I have also held 2 large assets, namely bitcoin and ethereum, just like you said. however, only those two coins which I thought could rise very high. both of these coins also have awaited development that occurred in 2020. so, it is very natural to have a portfolio of 50% bitcoin, and 50% eth.

seems like you are only optimistic about Bitcoin and Ethereum, even though in my opinion the 10-20 Big coins in the CMC list also have good potential. so it's a pity if it's missed. it's just that you have to be smart in choosing that coin.

I disagree if you just say Bitcoin and Ethereum are big assets, what about BCH that has reached ATH $ 4000? as I said 10-20 CMC list has a high potential for future increases.

Well, when you decide to hold long-term, it seems impossible that you only make a portfolio with one type of crypto, because after all having a more diverse portfolio will be much better still with a note just to hold popular coins. You realize that altcoins are slowly getting better and when altcoins are getting better then of course all the crypto will have good potential in the future, so there is no harm in holding altcoins and bitcoin together.

If you have a tight budget then go to altcoins , your 1btc can make a different assets to be made. You may buy a lot of ETH, thousande of XRP and many more, it is good for you to have a different investment, and if you want you may also do day trading in bitcoin Im sure you will get a profit by day trading. But it is all up to your budget and goal as well.

If I had enough capital to hold, I would definitely hold Bitcoin. I will never hold alts because they don't really cause a particular point. As you can see, bitcoin dominance has always been very high over the years, although alts have a lot of new technologies to serve the community. But the crypto community doesn't seem to care about the alts anymore, they focus on buying bitcoin to make a profit in the long run. When the crowd had such great faith, I had to follow the crowd.

The current status of the market is good for bitcoin holding, the price is moving a bit while alts are not. However diversifying is still best, I have bitcoin and alts in my crypto portfolio though I am more fan of btc rather than altcoins.

On the other side this time is a good time to buy alts since the value are much cheaper but make sure to have a long patience because the season for alts seems not gonna happen anytime soon.

There's nothing to choose now, I still prefer Bitcoin too more than anything else, we already tried taking risk from altcoins and we got nothing but headache, so why we are still going to settle for them if there is at least 80% chance that we can earn more in Bitcon thru simply by just holding it right? So for those who are thinking now, better to think 100 times.

I guess mixing both would be the best way to gain profit. 70% at least in bitcoins and 10% in ETH is what I suggest, everything else can be distributed in the remaining 20% of the portfolio.

Many people will choose bitcoin because have stable price and when bitcoin down can back up to higher price, just some people want to invest with altcoin and have big risk when altcoin have lower price need three years later to get back our investment money in altcoin, but have benefit by investing with altcoin because can increase to higher price more than 100%.

That is a good idea sir more on bitcoin is a good one and some in ether and portfolio. This kind of percentage is good especially in bitcoin. A big percent in bitcoin investment is very good because once bitcoin goes up you gonna make a huge profits. Bitcoin is a king of investment that we can see our future so do believe and buy bitcoin.

[~Money~]

well, i am an altcoin lover, my 90% investment is with altcoin and 10 % in bitcoin but i am long term holder and I have made a decent profit in last few yrs also i will suggest invest only what you can afford to lose.if you can afford to lose then don't invest anything.

[TitanGEL]

Allocation of your funds are always important to consider. It is better if you will divide your capital in to 4 parts or 25%. For example the 25% is in the bitcoin, the other 75% is in the top 3 altcoins that have high capitalization and have high volume. Do not buy shitcoins or altcoins that have no volume because for sure it can be a dead coin soon.

[Sadlife]

I'll chose both bitcoin and altcoin but only ETH. For me because it's battle tested despite countless bubbles they're still here, it has proven truly as a safe haven it may fall but the price and the support from its investors are solid. Especially ETH the feature smart contract is a game changer truly an innovation.

We must think wise, you can see how bitcoin, ethereum are raised up in 2017. We just waiting the big moment to their raising.
YOu must hold bitcoin and ethereum

[Savemore]

It is not good risk management if you will put 100% of your funds in bitcoin or altcoin. Diversify your capital and it is good strategy. There is no guarantee that you will earn money if you will put the 100% of your money in an specific coin. What if the coin that you bought goes down? of course you will get panic because you lose huge amount of money.

The advantage of bitcoin is its durability and outstanding growth after incidents but apparently, the cycle of this process is relatively long, sometimes months, sometimes almost a year, depending on manipulation, our money really won't grow if we don't have too much money and time to buy bitcoin. Altcoins do not have superior parameters and are more risky, but profits will be faster, and unlike you say, many people choose this option, instead of holding bitcoin because the reaction to altcoins is very regular, understanding this rule, our wallet will thicken very quickly
