Best crypto savings

[odunybiz]

I joined crypto early last year with little knowledge. After I had loose some money to altcoin, I decided to go for some research and I observe it best to make 80% of ones crypto savings to be Bitcoin.

Why I against altcoin and prefer Bitcoin:
👉👉Lower popularity and smaller market cap: Altcoins have a smaller investment market compared to Bitcoin. Bitcoin has generally hovered around 40% of the global cryptocurrency market since May of 2021.

👉👉Less liquidity than Bitcoin: The altcoin market is characterized by fewer investors and less activity, resulting in thin liquidity.

👉👉Difficult to determine use cases: It is not always easy to distinguish between different altcoins and their respective use cases, making investment decisions even more complicated and confusing.

👉👉[/b]Many altcoins are scams or lost developer and community interest:[/b] There are several "dead" altcoins that ended up sinking investor dollars.

CONCLUSION
A good practice I will recommend for all expecially beginners is that they should invest mostly in Bitcoin as this is highly save for the future.

There is practically no difference in those Altcoins most of them will actually present some differences in there white paper like those related to gaming and it’s like, but they all end up in the same which is not to be able to solve their claimed problems associated with bitcoin.

👉👉[/b]Many altcoins are scams or lost developer and community interest:[/b] There are several "dead" altcoins that ended up sinking investor dollars.

I can’t agree less because with almost 2000+ Alticoins only very few are Atleast worthy of been mentioned and even some of these ones are just days away from collapsing. The authenticity of a project was once placed on the reputation of the developers but this days Alticoin developers are just like social media influencers, some are actually used just to lure people into investing in the pump and dump projects.

A good practice I will recommend for all expecially beginners is that they should invest mostly in Bitcoin as this is highly save for the future.

I would say your 80% choice of bitcoin is actually a great one, although it is a personal decision I would even advice having a higher number than that or more or less treat the other 20% of the funds a gamble. Because even the top Alticoins are risky and even follow the same bitcoin trend. They increase in all most similar percentage as bitcoin, except on few occasions where the hype is high. But other than that the same gain most at times is the same. Many will say Alticoins have higher rate to increase but they should also consider that it comes down in same effect. So for cryptocurrency investment, bitcoin is the 100% save haven.

Are you really against altcoins or you wrote this to impress readers?

Because in Bitcointalk, altcoins are not welcome so you are trying to impress that you don't like altcoins. Altcoins are not all good but most of them are scam projects but if I have to discuss a fact that most of cryptocurrency investors and traders use their money for altcoins more than for Bitcoin.

They will think and say like Bitcoin is too expensive, price is too high already, I have to find some altcoins to invest.

In any case, maybe he just want to be a bitcoin maximalist that's why he dump his altcoins in favor of our dear BTC.

To be fair though, we have our altcoin boards, so it is welcome here. What we don't like is the way majority of them are being used, as a pump and dump. And with that, many noobs lost their money and so it is frown upon my most senior members here.

But there are some solid coins in the top 10 that are good as a long term investments like Bitcoin. It could be Ethereum, BNB, ADA and others, in my opinion.

I would never advise investing in the projects you suggested, because completely centralized tokens like the one you mention from one CEX have some value only as long as their company operates stably, and we all know that if nothing else they are deep in the gray zone and under investigations around the world.

Also, another token switched to POS not so long ago, and now they boast that they are carbon neutral, unlike BTC, which uses POW, and at the same time, they cemented such centralization that one of the forum members concluded that they could carry out their entire operation with a couple of computers from someone's basement.

Besides, what does top 10 coins even mean? Put that token at 21 million max supply and it won't even be among the top 100 coins - cmc manipulation.

[Helena Yu]

If you want to give an advice, it's better if you not only mention some part and forget with the other part that's important.

Investing in Bitcoin is obviously safe in the long run and the price is always increasing after 4 years cycle. But the thing is, don't think after you but Bitcoin, your investment is 100% safe.

Leaving your coins on the centralized exchange or staking to earn interest is no longer safe, using a daily driver device which you connected to internet and clicking random link is no longer safe etc. You need to know how to safely hold and maintain your Bitcoin.

I decided to go for some research and I observe it best to make 80% of ones crypto savings to be Bitcoin.

You can make upto 400% from altcoins but the chances are very low and the risk involved is far higher than the gain you stand to earn at the end, what is the essence of what you're not sure of it's outcome in the nearest future, investors now decided to avoid this kind of risk and remain committed to bitcoin because of the increasing numbers of shitcoins in cryptocurrency, if you want to avoid fear and risk of loosing your entire asset of investment, then avoid alts and choose bitcoin for your investment, you can make more than 800% over time with bitcoin if you hodl.

Why I against altcoin and prefer Bitcoin:
👉👉Lower popularity and smaller market cap: Altcoins have a smaller investment market compared to Bitcoin. Bitcoin has generally hovered around 40% of the global cryptocurrency market since May of 2021.

These are part of what we are expected to research well about before making an investment on any altcoins, moreover it's more better to avoid them if you know that you can't afford the risk of loosing your money on scam project which some of them later turned to be.

👉👉Lower popularity and smaller market cap: Altcoins have a smaller investment market compared to Bitcoin. Bitcoin has generally hovered around 40% of the global cryptocurrency market since May of 2021.

Market cap is just a product of the total circulating supply multiplied by the price. I don't see why people are using market cap as a basis per se.
I mean lower altcoin just means fewer people are buying the token, and vice versa. Bitcoin on the other hand has many buyers compare to all of the altcoins, so it's pretty obvious that it has a larger market cap.

👉👉Difficult to determine use cases: It is not always easy to distinguish between different altcoins and their respective use cases, making investment decisions even more complicated and confusing.

This is the problem with some altcoins out there.

Even those top altcoins have the same use case like in the case of Ethereum, Cosmos, Cardano, Polygon, Binance where they have a smart contract feature where developers can create their own application thru the blockchain of these projects. On the other hand, there are some altcoins out there that has no use case at all, or if there is, it wasn't beneficial to the investors, and to the people. It's just there for no reason at all, or they will just scam people.

👉👉[/b]Many altcoins are scams or lost developer and community interest:[/b] There are several "dead" altcoins that ended up sinking investor dollars.

Well, since it isn't regulated at all, scam altcoins are very common already in the crypto space.
This is the problem, and I don't see any solution to it aside from not investing into new projects. This is also the reason why I'm focusing more on the top altcoins currently. I don't want to put my money into new projects, projects that I know is a scam etc.

CONCLUSION
A good practice I will recommend for all expecially beginners is that they should invest mostly in Bitcoin as this is highly save for the future.

Investing into Bitcoin would lessen the risk of the investor so... yeah I think as a beginner it would be better if they will focus more on Bitcoin than other altcoins out there.

Because in Bitcointalk, altcoins are not welcome so you are trying to impress that you don't like altcoins. Altcoins are not all good but most of them are scam projects but if I have to discuss a fact that most of cryptocurrency investors and traders use their money for altcoins more than for Bitcoin.

Who said that altcoins aren't welcome here? You? If altcoin isn't welcome here, then we shouldn't seeing new altcoins here already.

Take note that Ethereum first launched here as well, and it became popular though I know that this forum isn't the place where they advertised their project, I'm pretty sure that the forum helped the project in terms of exposure to the public. I know that there are some altcoins that became scam projects, but to say that altcoins aren't welcome here in the forum just because it's Bitcointalk? It's just an absurd thing to say TBH.

The most important subject to discuss between Bitcoin and Altcoins that Bitcoin is fully Decentralized and most of the altcoins are Centralized.
Here some of my words about altcoins why it's risky:

1. Hard to choose altcoins for long term as it might scam you or may have no value in long term. I saw many altcoins which had created too much hype at the beginning and when time goes on they just started disappearing and not they have no value and delisted from every exchanges.
2. Altcoins have different usecases like Defi, NFT . So need deep research to predict about it's potential growth.
3. Altcoins aren't widely accepted like Bitcoin and many people aren't much conscious about Altcoins.

So for the safest investment for long term I will suggest the only coin which is Bitcoin. Anyway some altcoins are doing good and have a bright future but we don't know is there something going to happen like Luna?

Investment and saving are two different concepts from trading. You can trade Bitcoin with altcoins and exploit the temporary price difference to achieve a reasonable profit, but for long-term investment or saving without economic knowledge or background on the nature and duration of investment. Investing in Bitcoin is safer than all altcoins. it is true that two or more altcoin may perform better than Bitcoin in a short period of time and within a specific framework, but you will depend on random luck in determining which of these altcoins.

do not depend on the market capacity in determining your investment decisions, you can rely on sustainable factors such as privacy, scalability and development potential.

By inference, it's clear you're referring to Binance (correct me if I'm wrong). Can't we say CZ has really tried with his exchange so far despite that's a Cex? I mean, since 2017 that Binance came on the scene and was greeted with all that skepticism and criticism but it's still weathering the storm till date. I think we should give to it its flowers.

As for those outrightly condemning investment in altcoins, they should do their research very well before making a blanket generalization. Again, we need alts in the industry to make the competition worth it. While I can advise noobs to concentrate on Bitcoin, I will tell those who've certain measurable grip of the industry to split their portfolio into Bitcoin and alts. It mustn't be all about Bitcoin. There are also viable altcoins out there.

No doubt that the point was copied but a reference was made to where it was copied from. I decided to use it because it fit in into my opinion. I have tried altcoin and Bitcoin but Bitcoin is the best to invest in. I don't think this has broken the forum rules in anyway because reference was made to where the information was copied from.

I think you may have misunderstood the many members of this forum on their stand on altcoin,  but to make it clear for you that altcoins are not hated by forum members because their stands sound harsh sometimes against scams and weak altcoin projects it doesn't mean that we don't have other good altcoins that have performed a special role in our financial life in the digital currency market.

No doubt this forum is bitcoin talk but we have an altcoins board also which shows how the forum value altcoins.

Your points are not arguable but there are some investor who loves diversifying their investment like choose some trusted altcoin to invest, and also altcoin gives instant profit (short terms) when you are that active following up their update and news one  could make 5x or 10x, while some gives upto 30x before they could finally dump and wait for the next season or bull run.

For bitcoin investment it requires patient for one to hold for at least 1 year otherwise, whom ever venturing into bitcoin investment should have this in mind to hold for 4 years plus in other to meet the halving which could easily propelled the bitcoin price to witness another ATH.

[AakZaki]

You don't even need to research for Bitcoin has become the main asset recommended as a long-term digital asset. That will benefit you more because all Altcoins depend on the price of Bitcoin.
But don't fight Altcoins brutally, you don't know if some altcoins still have good potential in the future like ETH. I even still have ETH for me to hold long term. Other altcoins that are scams are just new altcoins that will not develop and will only be abandoned. Don't get caught up with new altcoins that keep popping up, let alone shitcoins that are managed by scammers.

[coolcoinz]

For me the main advantage of bitcoin is popularity. It's the first crypto and it will always remain that, no matter how many coins are created in the next 100 years.

There's also the matter of dependency. If bitcoin fails as a decentralized store of value, altcoins will fail with it and the price of most altcoins follows bitcoin, but not the other way round. If ETH or XRP die, it won't matter to bitcoin. If anything, it will make bitcoin more valuable.

Altcoin can never be relied on, which is why it is not advisable for beginners to start their investment with it because they will surely lose some money.

All these reasons are actually solid reasons to avid altcoin, but sometimes people do gamble with some funds on altcoins to see if it is going to turn out in their favour.

Personally, I see altcoin investment as gambling because you are not sure of the success of the project, the investment is based on hope due to their nature of centralization.

CONCLUSION
A good practice I will recommend for all expecially beginners is that they should invest mostly in Bitcoin as this is highly save for the future.

Bitcoin is the only safe coin to invest in; aside from Bitcoin, any other coin is not safe.

It seems that you are really a novice in cryptosphere industry, what I was expected you to say concerning bitcoin is that Bitcoin have more potential than altcoins not that you are against altcoins, for cryptocurrency to be competitive today it come as result of numerous altcoins in the market, but in the aspect of mega profit in cryptocurrency investment its altcoins that gives profit more than bitcoin, because bullrun get increase gradually because of it potential and good reputation of bitcoin

Altcoin investment is really scary to me, lots of people have lost their entire money due to some altcoins that crashed, that’s why I just believe bitcoin is the best coin which we should hold. When bitcoin dumps, if you can hold then with time it’s going to bounce back, but if some altcoin dump, then they are going to zero and they will never rise again no matter how long you hold it, that’s why I don’t recommend people to invest in altcoin, and even if you are going to invest, then it should be a very little amount.

👉👉Difficult to determine use cases: It is not always easy to distinguish between different altcoins and their respective use cases, making investment decisions even more complicated and confusing.

Most altcoins create now those not have any use case, that’s why most of those coins just pump for a particular most and they will dump, after dumping thats all, just few altcoins are having use case, so if am even going to invest in altcoin, then I will invest in the once that have being in crypto space for long time, I don’t encourage people to invest in new altcoins, most of them are useless, they don’t have any use case.

👉👉[/b]Many altcoins are scams or lost developer and community interest:[/b] There are several "dead" altcoins that ended up sinking investor dollars.

Scammers are always making use of altcoins to scam people, they Will create a coin, and they will market it just to get hype which at the end they will dump it on people that invested in it. Altcoin investment is really dangerous, if you want to invest, then invest in bitcoin.

Even if we keep on reminding them that it's the best way to save and invest money on this market, there will still a point of their lives that they don't think it's worth it.

And that is because they're mainly looking at the gains in the short time which can be looked on the gains with altcoins. That's why you see various of newbies complaining about their money being wasted into losses because they thought that it's the best idea that they've got.

But then, experience wise, that's how they're going to be taught if they don't listen to advises that's given to them that it's best for the newbies to start their crypto investments through Bitcoin.
