So we get that btc will eventually "rise"

[Chumps]

I think Litecoin will become a good secondary coin. Most others will fail or die.

Have you been following the charts in the last few months? Litecoin is already dead.

Well, it's maybe a bit soon to say so, but unfortunately, I dont really see many altcoins surviving this, and Litecoin hasn't got much to offer. Maybe when cryptos become super mainstream, LTC will regain a certain value, but who the fuck knows.

Check the charts, guys. Around last September and October, Bitcoin's % of total crypto cap fell to 75. Ripple is now in use on two continents. Nxt has a half a dozen 'family' coins on the charts.

But more to the point, and without wishing any ill upon Bitcoin at all, altcoins are where almost all of the '2.0 stuff' is happening.

And Unobtanium. Check its stats. It will be around until the sun burns out in the sky.

But what will happen to altcoins? I dont think it would be possible for altcions to "follow" btc like they used to before, because now there are so many out there it would take great amounts of money for them to follow BTC. So when btc takes off some of you say, what will happen to the rest. Granted it wouldnt take alot to boost the coins with a small market cap but I still think they will be abandoned.

There are quite a few who would not agree that  btc will eventually "rise"

It all depends what alt coins are popular at the time of BTC bubbles, at least this has been the history of alt coin price movement.  Even junk like feathercoin went on a pump during china bubble.

LTC seems to be stronger vs the rest of alts.

While it used to closely track btc movements earlier, that is no longer the case.

Altcoins are way more risky. Better hold on to BTC. LTC might still have a future though.

More risky = More chance of higher gains.
People realize that they are risky and yet invest in them.

Well altcoins will rise in FIAT value, since they're more tightly coupled to Bitcoin than FIAT. I guess we may see them appreciate in value as well, since there are a lot of newcomers that haven't put money in any coin. But I'm doubtful what the longterm success of altcoins is concerned!

Most altcoins will most likely fail. They can only prevail if they offer a real advantage or contribution to Bitcoin! I don't really think there's going to be such a coin, though! Bitcoin has simply the widest adoption and most traction. That's what counts!

I'm here because some friends told me this was a great opportunity to make some money, hoping that bitcoin will really rise in some months.

This is when things get dangerous. You may get rich with Bitcoin. Quite some people already have. But more people have also lost money investing in Bitcoin. It's mostly people not familiar with markets that get scared and act/trade on their emotions. A dangerous thing to do!

I invested only a little amount of money (50$) so I won't be rich but I want to follow its development because the bitcoin project is very promising.
