Bitcoin or altcoins during bear market?

[tvplus006]

...I am just wondering when the next bear market comes in 2026, would it just be best to dollar cost average into Bitcoin every week and forget about altcoins until the next bull run starts in 2028?

It is quite obvious that during a bearish cycle, it is preferable to keep stablecoins in your wallet. In this case, you will have a great opportunity to buy more Bitcoins when the price drops. The difficulty is that it is difficult to sell BTC at high and buy at low.

[tabas]

You can be a bitcoin maxi for the next cycle and no one is going to stop you from doing that. But I doubt that you'll only dollar cost average BTC at that time when you have mentioned that you're also into altcoins. And for that reason, you're free to take any as you want depending on your investing preference because we all have an idea already which is better. Just DCA BTC so you'll witness how it is going to be for the next cycle, people say that it's expensive now, let's see how more expensive it will be for the next cycle on 2028-2029.

Next bull run should start after the next halving which should be four years from this year according to history of previous halving so it' should be 2028 and investing in Bitcoin from today to that year will make you more profits that investing in altcoins.

Hodling Bitcoin will not give you any loss but having altcoins can win you some and lose you some. During the bear market should be when you can start your DCA.

It should always be Bitcoin during the both market conditions (bull and bear). When you buy altcoins you aren't investing anymore but gambling because that's what you get with Altcoins.

Why the wait?, you can jump right in and start to DCA, it doesn't take much since you're not new to crypto. You've seen it yourself that you would've been more profitable if you held on to Bitcoin and not fucking around with plenty altcoins. Doing DCA comes with a lot benefits than just buying Bitcoin, it helps you uphold financial discipline, manage your finances better and even set an accumulation target to secure your financial future by yourself. You can still save part of your discretionary income to lump sum on the next dip and buy more stashes at cheaper prices.

Secondly, you've to know that Bitcoin is a long-term journey and you need hold for at least 4 -10 years or more before thinking about shaving off profits or selling as you may decide in order to be really profitable. The choice is yours, But I think you should know that Bitcoin has the potential to give you good profits more than any shitcoin or altcoins can ever attempt, but it's better on a long term investment journey to achieve that.

Like I said, one of my altcoins gave me a 30x return in just 2 months earlier in the year so I don't agree with you saying Bitcoin will give better profits than any shitcoin or altcoin.

My plan this run is to make my profits with my altcoins to give me a good amount of money to then invest only into Bitcoin going forward.

Yes Bitcoin is currently up 34% in the last month, but I have a few altcoins that are up over 100% during that time.

The fact that your alt gave you 30x return doesn't mean it is better than Bitcoin perhaps it's just your luck. Remember, most of those alt depends on Bitcoin and I hope you know that some alt are not good to invest in because sometimes when they dump, pumping back is always hard so I will suggest or advice you leave the idea of investment in alt and focus on Bitcoin. Your choice of words makes me believe you are into trading ( short term profit) which is really not good because it may not favor you all the time because you are just predicting and this can make you panic or sell in loss, yes alt can turn you into a millionaire overnight but it's also risky and don't be carried away by the 30x return you made.

You are wrong , I have never tried trading before.

The altcoin that gave me a 30x return I bought and then held for 4-6 months before I started selling when it gave me the returns I was happy with

OP I won't take your word for it wrong either because there is logic in what he is saying. Which altcoin gives you 30% return or 100% return is really up to you. But what you have done is hold. It is very profitable but you should know. Altcoins are the most risky. Because these coins usually depend on the market and the whole market depends on Bitcoin. Because we saw the bullrun start in full swing earlier this month. But these coins will not always give you benefits.

If you have any other experience that you are holding on to, use it as it will give you the most value in training ahead of time. If you have this experience you can exploit otherwise you can buy bitcoins and hole up. But even if you say that the market is good, most of the altcoins crash and keep the market down. That's why it's always better to stay away from altcoins otherwise one should be careful.

DCA strategy is the best option or you can decide to lump sum of that pleases you. That altcoin was once favourable to you doesn't mean it will continue in such way. I can only advise you to invest in bitcoin because it much more reliable than other coins. I am also considering your proclamation of altcoin given you 30x, i don't think you really know what is 30x.

[knowngunman]

Like I said, one of my altcoins gave me a 30x return in just 2 months earlier in the year so I don't agree with you saying Bitcoin will give better profits than any shitcoin or altcoin.

It's quite simple, I guess. You already know how both altcoins and Bitcoin moves and the decision to invest in any of this lies solely on you. If you still believe altcoins give better profits then you stick to it. Just know that they both have their time but altcoins mostly rally around bitcoin during the bull season.

Altcoins will normally give you a better profit too or even more than that of Bitcoin at times but the big question is how reliable are they? Investing in some random altcoins will not give you rest of mind due to fear of pump and dump that characterized it.

If you have interest investing in bitcoin, it is time to start doing that DCA now if you have the funds. Do not be scare of the high price because it might not get low to your expectation sooner.

30x and 30% are not the same thing mate. 30x profit in crypto world is lucky. Once you've been able to do it, you won't do it again and again. I have seen names of some coins that have increased 30x in value in 1 year, but I doubt their credibility. 30x profit is not impossible, but 30x loss from these coins is also possible. Stabilize on any coin, or enter a trade. You are involved in riskier activities than trading.

I didn’t say 30x is the same as 30% did I.

I been in this crypto game a few years now, I bought low and now it’s just a case of waiting for the peak bull run months next year. Getting a 30x return is a lot easier than you think it is.

So many people are scared of altcoins but they have done me just fine.

[reagansimms]

I can say that regret always comes too late, that's my assumption after reading every word you wrote in the topic. Bitcoin has been tested and proven to always be able to survive in any conditions, now its price is soaring and its adoption is becoming more widespread. Why Altcoin? I am not too interested in Altcoin because its resistance level is very low, Bitcoin has strong fundamentals, it is better to accumulate the amount of assets in the form of Bitcoin than to bet on Altcoin.

[SOKO-DEKE]

As for me, I prefer Bitcoin over altcoins due to risk limits. When someone invests in Bitcoin, it is rare for them to lose 70% of their investment within a short period. However, with altcoins, it is easy to lose even 80% in a short time. In fact, someone can lose everything if they are not careful with the altcoins they choose to invest in, especially during a bear market. Many things happen to altcoins in a bear market; some even become dead projects.but the truth is that there are still some good altcoins someone can invest in, and they may rise when the market recovers. However, proper research is necessary that and if someone don't have the knowledge to do research I will advice them to invested in only Bitcoin.

I am just wondering when the next bear market comes in 2026, would it just be best to dollar cost average into Bitcoin every week and forget about altcoins until the next bull run starts in 2028?

No argument that Bitcoin is not the best coin to invest in, and it is a good idea to start using DCA. DCA is a very good strategy to accumulate Bitcoin because it helps someone acquire Bitcoin at different price levels, reducing panic and minimizing potential losses. By getting Bitcoin at various price levels, the impact of market fluctuations is lessened.It is even possible that the next bear market could start next year, or it might start in 2026 as you mentioned. However, the truth is that there is no assurance of when the bear market will begin, so it’s best to be prepared for it at any time.

[michellee]

Investing in altcoin can gives you a big profit but that will only with the right altcoin or you found a hidden gems that gives you a huge profit. It is rare to happen unless you are lucky that can sell at the very high price. And now, we have so many altcoins and memecoins in the market so it seems many people are gamble with their money to buy memecoins and altcoins. Investing in Bitcoin will be the main investment in crypto but we can search for more profit from the altcoins. So that is why we must be careful when investing in altcoin and not just follow other people suggestion because we need to responsible with our money and our investment. While the bitcoin bull run and the altcoin season are not coming yet, we can prepare for that to find the right altcoins and hopefully, we can get a hidden gems that can gives us a big profit. But it is difficult to say when the next bear market and we can only predicting without knowing the truth.

Altcoins can be use as a form of gambling, that's why we have been seeing so many altcoins falling and rising in price. There are whales that use many of these altcoins as a form of gambling to make money for themselves and that is a solid reason why we need to be wise and be careful how we invest on altcoins because the risk is higher than what we could think. Altcoins investment could looks profitable but there are so many lies we are not been told and it. Many people keeps losing money from rug pulled projects because of their urge to make quick profits from altcoins. Bitcoin is the most relevant crypto we can ever hold and it's safer than the rest.

[nakamura12]

If you love trading or gambling, continue with your altcoins but don't regret it when you will be disappointed in these altcoins that you claim to be more profitable if you keep holding them. If you want a long-term investment for your future, then invest in bitcoin and grow your portfolio with DCA weekly or monthly and hodli for long. Majority of those altcoins when the next bear market comes might not be able to recover from the market.

We can't force OP to buy bitcoin but rather only give advice or pointers why bitcoin is much better when someone wants to buy bitcoin compared to altcoins. We might be able to see that OP may regret the decision if he only bought or accumulate altcoins only. If It were me then i'd buy different crypto especially bitcoin which I think would be better if ever I don't want to miss something in the altcoin that I will accumulate (if I ever did have money to do it) rather than buying only one crypto but if it's only one then bitcoin should be the number one choice in my opinion.

[RockBell]

The fact that your alt gave you 30x return doesn't mean it is better than Bitcoin perhaps it's just your luck. Remember, most of those alt depends on Bitcoin and I hope you know that some alt are not good to invest in because sometimes when they dump, pumping back is always hard so I will suggest or advice you leave the idea of investment in alt and focus on Bitcoin. Your choice of words makes me believe you are into trading ( short term profit) which is really not good because it may not favor you all the time because you are just predicting and this can make you panic or sell in loss, yes alt can turn you into a millionaire overnight but it's also risky and don't be carried away by the 30x return you made.

There are people who make money from Altcoin, but there is no guarantee that it will last long because Altcoin will eventually cease to serve, so it is better to go with Bitcoin because there is no way that it can be compared to Bitcoin investment, so there will be a lot going on. And even when people are getting money from it, and the money you might lose in Altcoin may not be recoverable because the same way he has made money, the same way they have lost money, so it's preferable to go for the one that you actually want so that you don't regret anything since there is no way You invest in bitcoin and be scared.

And if you look at the market other coin are more dependent on bitcoin so what is now the essence of investing in something that is more reliable and even mining bitcoin is expensive just that you will make your money from bitcoin their is no way so everything depends on the understanding everyone have faith bitcoin the investment is very important.

And if you waiting for 30x in altcoin it's not bad to have such an expectation but when the expectations is to high then it might get reduced when you don't meet it.

[Asuspawer09]

Most of the time investors who invested in Bitcoin could easily exit when the market price started to pump like what is happening right now, we don't know if the market price of Bitcoin is going to continue to pump in the coming months but there are a lot of investors that bought from the bottom that could easily exit the market, when the market price continue to skyrocket, most of them are going to sell for sure to take some profit except for some diamond hands for sure. But that is mostly the point of it, after taking its profit, most of the money is going to the altcoin for sure trying to make more profit, so most of the investors consider this as a cycle.

Personally, I would easily choose Bitcoin investment for sure compared to altcoins during the bear market just because it's the most popular and the safest investment in the market during a bear market, there is a lot of fear for sure and most are getting liquidated on altcoins because of the volatility. So I would still do the basic portfolio where you hold a huge percentage of Bitcoin on your account and then only a small percentage of altcoins just to gamble a little bit on it,I mean its still going to be a huge profit for sure since its altcoin.

[Abu-Naim]

My current portfolio is +23% but had I been in Bitcoin it would probably be around +200%. There is however more room now for altcoins to grow for the rest of this bull run and I am still hoping to have a great bull run with my altcoins.

I got lucky with one of my altcoins that gave me a 30x return in the first quarter of 2024 but if i didn't have that then my portfolio would be a lot worse.

I am just wondering when the next bear market comes in 2026, would it just be best to dollar cost average into Bitcoin every week and forget about altcoins until the next bull run starts in 2028?

You are indeed lucky to have that particular coin that gave you 30x in your portfolio else you will at lost. This is why you should never trust altcoins because almost all of them failed you, only one of them was able to give you profit; however, you will still get profit if the altcoin bull run start running.

You could have gotten good and reasonable amount of profit if you have left your Bitcoin investment, you could have triple your investment, but it is not too late to invest in Bitcoin, just that you will not be among the early adopters because Bitcoin has already grown above all our expectations.
You can still use DCA method to start accumulating Bitcoin and never panic to sell your Bitcoin just because of little profit, you will get the huge profit in the future.

Haha. It wasn’t the only altcoin that gave me profit , it was just my best performing altcoin. Most of my altcoins I am currently holding are in profit.

We are approaching alt season so looking forward to the next few months and the returns to come

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

But that is mostly the point of it, after taking its profit, most of the money is going to the altcoin for sure trying to make more profit, so most of the investors consider this as a cycle.

The market is Indeed a cycle, cycle of people making money from Bitcoin and losing it to altcoins. The profits made from Bitcoin are getting invested into shitcoins with hope that they can get crazy returns. While it favours some, a vast majority gets disappointment and lose their money. All the altcoins getting launched because of the bull market especially the memecoin and tap to earn bullshit won't be around in just few months time. We shouldn't chase after things that are going to make us lose money. If you're doing it as a gamble, you won't use that amount of money that you should be using for investment only but we lie to ourselves meanwhile we put in money as a. investment and we lose them constantly. It should always be Bitcoin as main investment.
