I have always traded in altcoins, but I've always in the end lost Bitcoin when doing this. Altcoin market is too unpredictable. Now that I've bought a good amount of Bitcoin, an amount that I'm pretty comfortable with I figure why risk anymore, right?!
I'll still trade a little bit in altcoins just because yea sure when you happen to pick the right coin you can easily get a nice profit. But I'm gonna move a little new money into USD on an exchange and just start trading Bitcoin/USD. With the goal being making USD rather than making Bitcoin. Making BTC is high risk, high reward. And making USD is low reward, BUT its essentially zero risk. No matter where I buy in I know I will be able to sell for higher, cuz it's BTC we are talking about, not some random altcoin against BTC. Should be fun just to trade with basically zero risk. Just try to maximize profits even though the profits won't be that big. Will be a lot less nerve wracking than trading alts.

don't try to restrict yourself like this and definitely don't try too hard for finding a relationship between bitcoin price and altcoins. you will be surprised how many times you are going to be wrong.
you can see that for example ethereum has been staying up with all the manipulations, then you see another altcoin that were supposed to go up is going down.
in short, it is best if you stick to bitcoin these times that you can't speculate then come back when things settled down. for example when price of an altcoin was dumped hard you can enter at the bottom and enjoy the rise.

USDT is backed 1:1 so a single USDT will always be equally to 1 USD. Since it is more stable trading this pair has a lot of potential
to be profitable especially when you're a beginner. I don't always trade USDT. I'm more into ETH and XMR because it has a high
chance of growing compared to USDT that is tied with USD. And you can always earn a huge amount in other altcoins depending
on your capital.

for me the best option is BTC-USDT since it is the same as trading bitcoin and USD since it has the same price, and it is a more predictable market at least that is what i feel like.
but other pairs should also be used. for example litecoin and monero from your list are two excellent altcoins for trading with great future and a nice profit potential.

I prefer altcoin for used to arbitrage, but it's need a lot effort and speed. ETH, LTC, XMR is my favorite altcoin.
Trade to USD is profitable too, also for me btc/usd is easier to take analyze than altcoin, honestly I don't have idea to trade altcoin apart arbitrage and join to the community(if there are) to see what the trends.

BTC-USDT gives you a stable income but it takes long time to get (for short-term trader this isn't a good way). BTC to Altcoins gives you lot of coins to trade (ETH, XMR, New coins), but we have known altcoin's price is bubbling and you can't predict it but if you're lucky you can get huge profit from it yet it gives you huge risk too (for those dump coins).

Hi guys, since Bitcoin is Bullish now, may I know what pairs do you trade with Bitcoin? What can you recommend with me.. Is it profitable to trade Bitcoin with USDT or I'll stick trading Bitcoin with Altcoins only. By the way if you trade only using Altcoin what is the best pair?
Thank you so much in advance, dont forget to select your answer in the poll.
According to me it's best to trade Altcoins with the Help of Bitcoin because Altcoins Have a More Chances of Increasing But the Bitcoin is not Much Increase in a Day But a Altcoin can Give to Much Profit Even you can Double your Money By Just Investing in a Altcoin But its important to have knowledge in Trading then you can Make Some Profit......

all option in the list is good and fine to trade but for me, i only want to trade with cheap coins and maybe its under 10k or max in 50k for the price because all coins in the list is up to 100k satoshi and i think if we only small budget then we can not make big profit. but if we trade with cheap coins, then our chance is big to make profit when the coins is getting a pump although we don't know when the pump is coming but so far, i think its worth for me.
In my personal experience trading bitcoin to USD is better the bitcoin to altcoin, then you will only have to worry about the price of the bitcoin because the USD is always stable unlike altcoins that the you don’t have a fixed rate and they are always changing and require you to keep an eye on the market to know how they change.

Both of them is great, but if you got more money, trading btc and usd is better than btc to alt coins, but trading alt coin got more risk than usd because alt coin price is more unpredictable so if you want to earn from alt coin you need to have a lot of experience in trading

Bitcoin to USD -
February 08, 2017, 06:33:44 AM
I believe trade against Altcoins is better, you can double your BTC in a day or two trading Altcoins but this would be extremely difficult to do with USDT trade. Just look at the pumped in Pasacalcoin price recently that is how good it can get with Altcoins but the risk is also high because they go down the rate at which they went up
Like You, I prefer trading BTC—Altcoins Markets because unlike BTC-USD trading, Good altcoins can rake in good profits for you in no time. But It's much more risky.

....since USDT is the same as USD price, i say the best option from these group is the first option of trading USDT because trading bitcoin is your best option always.

I agree with you. Trading Bitcoin is much more reliable until Bitcoin's Bullishness starts like the one in early January where we saw the price drop more than —$200.
February 08, 2017, 06:29:56 AM
Do you remember 6 months ago, what was the price? someone just by simply holding the coins in wallet until now would have doubled their money up to $200m, when bitcoin is presenting such rare opportunities buy when price drops below $900 which definitely will happen whether we like it or not and wait half a year to double your money. I'm talking about huge investments not like alts that when you buy $500 only by tricks and heavy manipulation you could double that amount lol.
And my modest opinion would be BTC-USDT.

after that i say all the altcoins can be viable options with a good profit potential as long as you can analyze them and find out if it is a good entrance price or not.
for instance from your list i have my eyes on litecoin and think it will soon start a very big rally like the one we had around its halving and it will be mostly because of the SegWit activation.

I would go for both Options since there are times on which each of them has the time on good to trade. BTC-USD would be good and profitable specially on scalping and swinging when its price moves to fast in a matter of days or weeks only.Trading on altcoin is good if you do know which coin has potential.Theres a lot of choices.

It's all about the risks you're willing to take, usually at a lower risk you earn less. Because of the volume the altcoins are more affected by the manipulation than the bitcoin, in addition to the fact that the value of the altcoins is tied to the value of the BTC-USD. The ideal is to always manage the risks and work with the pair that you think is best at the moment.

I believe in litecoin when their prices are falling at a cheap price you can buy it and holding the bag for them, I think you need to hold your litecoin bag in one month to the next to see their price increase
