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 Grin .
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.

70% BTC and 30% alts that's my best guess. My favourite alts which i'm not giving away anytime soon: XLM, XRP, NEO, NWC
This is what I am doing right now too, most of my money are invested in bitcoin, because even you do not do anything with bitcoin, still it will have a profit on it, even though you did not do anything but just holding it for long term investment. But holding it for so long is risky too. And maybe like you 30% will be allocated to my altcoin. It is really good to have an investment in both of it, because when bitcoin pumps , altcoins pumps as well specially those top coins.

I'll choose bitcoin as primary income, whatever my strategy bitcoin always become the right answer. Piramida money management already prepare for the worst and cut loss point never use long range, very simple but of course patience is the key. If someone suggest ETH/ LTC/ BCH I only can accept as private opinion, so good luck for them.
I love to see how patients keep rolling. People would always prefer for investing and holding bitcoin alone rather than to take the risk with altcoins. We have those options but if we think wisely, we can simply point out that Bitcoin is more profitable and that is actually the advantage over altcoins. But for sometimes we also take a look tp altcoins as we also know that some of them still consider good coins to buy just like ETH, BNB and the rest of the top 5 altcoins.

If you choose for a good investment, I think to go for the bitcoin. Bitcoin is the most profitable cryptocurrency coin today. But you cannot earn immediately you must invest a lot of money and take all of your time to secure you will not lose any profit. There are a lot of possible income using cryptocurrency you can gambling if you love playing games, but you will wage your coins or trading just waiting for the time when the price of the coins goes up.
If you want to play safe, don't risk any money better to invest in altcoins because not all the time the price has a huge difference than the bitcoin, It is safe and better for short term holding.

While what you are saying is right, many traders do not really have an idea about how to calculate their risk and in such cases it is always better to play it safe and take the lesser of the two different risks, in this case that will be to invest everything in bitcoin because as we know bitcoin is by far the best and most solid coin in the market that no matter what happens it is never going to disappear unlike the majority of altcoins.

Some investors may believe that this strategy is simply too conservative for their tastes but whenever you are investing it is better to take the more conservative approach first and then once you gain experience you can take more risks.

Yes. There should always be more of bitcoin in our portfolio because it's still the most  profitable compared to other altcoins. But diversifying our portfolio with bitcoin and altcoins is also a good suggestion but we should know where to invest more of our money to avoid big loss in the end.

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?
There Is nothing wrong with diversifying your portfolio, it's good. You shouldn't be relying just on one bitcoin. But if I'm to choose only one Bitcoin I would choose Bitcoin. Bitcoin has always been a good investment for me, majority of the people that are into cryptocurrency prefers to invest their money Bitcoin because they see Bitcoin as the real cryptocurrency.

As for altcoins, before I invest my money in altcoins I always make sure that the alt coin I'm investing in is a good one, I do proper research before choosing. I don't go for new tokens, I prefer bigger ones that are already well established - coins like Ethereum, Litecoin (LTC), Zcash, Binance Coin, NEO, and other top coins in the market. There are times Bitcoin will fall but these coins will go up, though that hardly happens.

Most investors advise diversifying the portfolio. I am inclined to believe that this strategy is one of the best. In what ratio and percentage to create a portfolio you decide, as many offer various options. It should also be noted that it depends on your goals. For example, whether you want to risk and earn more or have a relatively stable income with less risk. Do not wait for ready-made solutions for you. You will have to personally draw up your action plan. In one thing, I’m sure for sure that you need to remove BCH from the future portfolio. 100%. Why is that? Just read the reviews - https://revain.org/projects/bitcoin-cash. Better to see it once than to hear it 100 times.

Of course, I will also spend more than half of my assets investing in Bitcoin because I only trust this coin in the long term and the potential for this coin appreciation is huge. Currently, Bitcoin price is stable at $7000 and this is a very safe option for all investors. However, it is also necessary to monitor the volatility of this market because if the downtrend continues, Bitcoin may drop further in the near future.

Having a portfolio that has diversified assets seems to be more stronger than just having a single asset. Investing on few altcoins or bitcoin alone too gives profit, but to tackle or withstand market conditions diversified portfolio is best. Always a portfolio should have bitcoin, and rest of the altcoins based on one's own plan.

There are altcoins that give bigger profit than bitcoin, but to be successful in choosing the right altcoins is not easy. This happens on luck and on observation about the market of respective altcoins. Most of the time bitcoin's growth pattern will be followed by rest of the altcoins. Sometimes this changes, by that time the altcoins help in earning big.

My current portfolio is 65% Bitcoin and 35% alts... Cannot choose one and not sure it would make much sense.

Depending on alts position and $BTC price, I buy more Bitcoin when it's possible.

Patience is the key.
I think dividing the capital is essential during this time and your options are very good in the long run. Bitcoin should now be held more because the coin is the king of the market and any fluctuations of Bitcoin will directly affect the current market. However, you should only spend 20% to invest altcoin and only choose the coins in the top 30 to minimize risk.

One way or another, you need to manage your assets better and trust only yourself when investing because so much bad news is affecting your psychology.

I believe that on a permanent basis at least 50% of the funds should be in Bitcoin.
The remaining percents can be tried in trade, but only in pair with the BTC.
Diversification is a good thing, but still I would not invest more than 25% in altcoins, since they are unstable.

It depends on how skillful and lucky enough we in and out with altcoins, trading alts is always good since the price is agile. If the price of a coin is stable there is no way that we can make profit from them. So i think for investment i'll choose bitcoin and for trading i'll choose alts
Skills and lucky aren't enough to be profitable in trading. Picking the nice coin whether alts or btc in a perfect time can lead us to money. Eventhough you have skills but your investment didn't fluctuate, its useless. Therefore, we just not depend in skills and lucky. Sometimes, we must buy coins depending on its capability to grow.

in my opinion ; invest everything in bitcoin better than mixing portfolio with altcoins ; the percentage of dominance bitcoin will rise to over 90 in the future because of etf . there prices of bitcoin and popularity will grow more than current ; most of icos are not legit too people will transfer their investment to bitcoin by the time
in general, people will definitely think like that. owning bitcoin is enough to hold it now. but sometimes people don't want to keep everything in one asset, or in one basket. however, we don't know in the future, there is altcoin which can have very high potential and is more profitable than we hold bitcoin. so far, I have only thought to hold bitcoin, ethereum, and binance coins. those are coins that I think will have a high price in the future, and the percentage will be more in bitcoin.

I'm one of those person who are not satisfied to hold 1 investment option since I really believe that having an alternative option is more greater since we can earn more with this especially if we are wise and choose the best among those alts listed on the market and maybe for this current market  condition it's best to stay on the top alts since this is a safety net for the investors and has high provability to pump in future.

I'm not a Bitcoin Evangelist, but at this point in time I'd probably hodl all Bitcoin. Given the choice though, I'd rather hodl multiple coins and keep a diverse portfolio - it just makes more sense.

I am a trader so when I see any good signal, I will buy and hold that coin within a few days then sell it at a better price. For me, in the crypto market there should be no portfolio. Because long-term holdings in coins that only know investors' money and run away are a lot. Better yet, never invest and hold long-term bitcoin or top alts, it's all a scam business. and this is just my personal opinion, if something goes wrong please let me know what is wrong with me. thanks.

I would always choose Bitcoin. For me this is the best investment and although there are some prosperous altcoins like Ethereum,Bitcoin is still the most profitable and with best perspective for the future.
To my opinion too many altcoins appear almost on a daily basis, most of them expecting to be competition to Bitcoin but many of them are just the waist of time and resources.

Yes, I think bitcoin will be a top priority in investing because indeed big people will choose bitcoin as the best investment and even many millions of dollar transactions in bitcoin,
Now as it is right to invest, the price is already low because there will be an increase in the next few weeks, I believe it is because bitcoin prices will not be this low.
