How reasonable is the long-term investment in Altcoins?

[leea-1334]

I think if the chosen altcoin is Ethereum or BNB then it makes sense to be a long-term investment, just look at the price of ETH now compared to 4 or 5 years ago, the price of ETH soared.
Yes, I agree that short-term altcoins are indeed more profitable, but not all altcoins are risky if invested long-term, depending on how big the development of an altcoin project is.

It is not just about dumb buys too though. Ethereum continued developing even after the 2017 crash,,, even after all the ICO scandals and all the gas wars.

BNB will do the same I think but hard to tell if people will keep on coming and using if others come up that are even cheaper and faster (which is the only selling point for BSC).

I think long-term investment in Altcoins is full of risks but short time investment is more profitable.

Depends. 'Altcoins' is a pretty broad term. If it's a centralized project with a million bells and whistles but that can be rugged by the founding team, or shut off liek a switch, you are right, and you should be super wary. But the major alts like xmr, eth, or really any coin that's decentralized as satoshi proposed, and carried by a large community with a stake in success and use case, then the risk is maybe more manageable than btc. ESPECIALLY if you calculate risk only as pure monetary risk/loss, btc has much further to fall. Still, btc's superior adoption ain't for nothin'!

We all know that long term investment in Bitcoin is reasonable but how reasonable do you think long term investment in Altcoins is?
I think long-term investment in Altcoins is full of risks but short time investment is more profitable. Do you agree with me?

Yes, Personally, I want to reconcile the altcoin genres that tend to be suitable, something that will take short profits to grow profits in the long run. Most of the top 10 in the market are top quality coins for the long term and also for the short term. However, some new altcoins only have short- or medium-term benefits. I usually take the benefit of IDO to maintain the top coins.

Everyone may agree that bitcoin is a long-term investment, but not everyone will agree that altcoins are long-term investments, in altcoins there are many risks that we will encounter, if we make a long-term investment pattern, considering that not all altcoins can thrive in crypto, many altcoins which can not provide a selling value in a certain period of time, so the decision for the long term is not a good strategy.

[V-t.Ester]

It depends on what altcoins you decided to invest in. If to invest in Ethereum then 100% long-term investment will bring good profit. If to invest in some other alt from top-50, long-term investment is possible, but it’s better to check them every day, sometimes these coins can suddenly pump or dump. It’s better to put stop-limit orders on them and to trade a bit. However it’s definitely bad idea to make long-term investments in some uncertain alts. They can scam.

If you feel the profit is enough then just sell it, I mean there is no reason to still keep it if you need the money. It just depends on the trader itself.

No, short term investment also has risk too. You need to take care of everything if you want your short term investment going really well things like price movement even on the slightest is really crucial for short-term trader.
Guess what, some of the altcoins have potential if you hold it long enough. For example is SHIBA INU. Yes I know this coin is just a meme but if you had bought it a year ago you would had been a millionaire by this time.

[Cafex]

It is very reasonable as long as you make the right choices. Of course, you can give shitcoins a chance also but you shouldn't have so big expectations about them. When it comes to long-term investments into altcoins, my "game plan" is like this: I would allocate most of the money for top altcoins like Ethereum as I trust them in the long run and I know the projects very well. And I would allocate some to shitcoins also just to give them a try. Who knows, maybe I can get lucky and make even more profit in them.

It depends on the altcoin in question but generally crypto is full risk including Bitcoin due to its fluctuation in price but some crypto are worth more investing in than the others. Some crypto could be left on a long term investment while others could just be a short term investment. But deciding which investment plan to use for each coin depends on your own research and how good the project is alongside it's biggest investors, you could also consider it's ATHs then know how long you would like to hold but in all try eliminating greed

Any investment is risky and especially investing in the cryptocurrency market you always have to be ready to risk that at any moment your invested money will be evaporated and you may lose everything. After one night, you should divide your account into many aspects so that you can invest in many places, so you shouldn't focus 100% of your investment on one altcoin.
A little opinion about the individual altcoin should only invest in the short term and if the long term you should choose BTC is always the first choice of investors today although it is also risky, but in terms of risk BTC can % lower than many other atlcoins.

[bct-user]

As long as choosing top altcoins, the risk of holding Bitcoin and altcoins for the long term is almost the same, not really different. So, don't worry if you want to hold top altcoins such as Ethereum, BNB coin, Stellar, Tron, Cardano, Polygon, or Theta. What you must do is to always keep attention on their social media or telegram groups. You need to check regularly how the project development and the price movement.

Yes. The risks are just the same. But if you are investing into altcoins that surges only when hyped, then those are good only for short term. Once you see the price is already good for selling and you'll eventually make profits from it, then sell them. Do not wait for another price increase because for sure the next thing will happen will only make you lose. Prices will dump eventually. But if you are holding potential altcoins, then you should not worry even if how many times price correction happens, they will always bound to recover just like bitcoin do.

[michellee]

Yes, long-term investment in altcoin will be full of risks as the altcoin can drop deeper when the bitcoin price crashes. Bitcoin can back to the high price, but the altcoin is hard to back to increase, although some altcoin can do that, coins need a long time to recover. But if you can get the lowest price of the altcoin, you can hold it for the long term but we do not know how high the altcoin price will increase in the future. Maybe you need to search for the altcoin that has the potential to increase and try to buy at the lowest price so you will not have to worry.

We all know that long term investment in Bitcoin is reasonable but how reasonable do you think long term investment in Altcoins is?

It will depend on the altcoin in question, speaking in general they are not profitable in the long run. This is evidenced by the last few years charts were you can see that the price of most altcoins is way below the issuing price if they came from ICOs.

Why I say specific altcoin, because top 5 altcoins are going to perform well in the long run or at least mid-term.

I think long-term investment in Altcoins is full of risks but short time investment is more profitable. Do you agree with me?

Risks are there in every speculative asset. But as a thumb rule, shitcoins are better traded in short term. There is no long term value in them. But there might be long term value in the top altcoins.

This is where one would need to take a risk and do some research.

Depends on what altcoins are you talking about because there is risk everywhere you go and you only lower the chance of losing your capital when you don't rush everything and prefer to make research of every altcoin you are about to invest. If you don't take any necessary moves before investing, you are just increasing your chance to lose your investment since altcoins are prone to lose their price whenever the updates of their companies are not capable of stabling the price again.

Only few altcoin is best for long term investment because most of the coins aside from Bitcoin are just manipulated or no value at all for future.

meaning many of those are just created for scamming and no plans for long term as what Investors wanna see.

But coins like ranked such as Ethereum , Binance , Ripple or even USDT if you wanna keep safe but not those SHit coin that no plans at all.

It is very reasonable as long as you make the right choices. Of course, you can give shitcoins a chance also but you shouldn't have so big expectations about them.

try Shitcoin but never Put your funds for Long term , because in the end you will be a loser.

though Look at Shibs and Dogecoin in which labelled as Shitcoin but made a great pump earlier this year and one is still pumping now.

The returns in yield farms like spookyswap and Ref Finance are often over 150%, plus altcoins have lower market caps than Bitcoin and are easier to 10x. You aren't going to get rich investing a couple bucks in Bitcoin, but you could if you invest in the right altcoin.

[bakasabo]

I would call a long term investment in alts very dangerous. After looking on how many projects appear, how many of them died, how few of them keep doing roadmap promises, and seeing how slowly alts update their ATH and gain positions in top, I would better stay with Bitcoin.

By looking on todays first page on coinmarketcap, I cant find anything where I would put my money in and just wait calmly. I would worry about every single major price drop, and pray for an alt to release something and community would really take it enthusiastically, so that price would jump. No like "team worked months 24/7, not some innovation is released" - and crypto community like "ok... +1% that day instead of +0.5%".

depending on the chosen Altcoin if the chosen is a popular Altcoin such as ETH, BNB or the like which is at the top on Coinmarketcap I think the same and Bitcoin has good prospects for long-term investment even at a much cheaper price than Bitcoin can reap huge profits bigger.
to increase the risk is also very commensurate with what will be obtained. unless you choose Altcoin Meme which has a very high level of risk if it is a long term investment.

Yes, you’re right about that in some ways, because that’s how it works for most of the altcoins in the market, if you check the chart you will see that there are a lot of them that have had a huge increase in price only once in their history, and mainly when they were launched earlier, and after that they get dumped and never get pass half of that level any more.

But, it is not all of them that are like that, there are also good altcoins that are worth investing in for a long term. Ethereum is one altcoin that has been growing just like Bitcoin has been growing every year. Apart from Ethereum there are also the other ones and if you take your time you’re going to find them.

[trauchot]

Investing for a long term in top altcoins is a great option, because look by yourself to what price, for example, Ethereum has grown for the whole time, also there are a lot of top altcoins like Ethereum that have grown in price over several years and brought investors a huge profit, so investing for a long term in altcoins is a great option for getting a huge profit in the future, you just need to understand in which altcoins is the best to invest and for how long, and there are a lot of such altcoins, the same Ethereum, also BNB, Polkadot or Solana, so I invest very often for a long term in top altcoins for better profit, and in general, the cryptocurrency market has been growing very rapidly recently, so another pump of altcoins is expected soon.
