Topic: Bitcoin is less stable than some ALTs ! - page 4. (Read 26376 times)
I think choosing only 2 alts to compare to bitcoin wouldn't give a much accurate comparison. There are a lot of other altcoins out there who couldn't even survive the severe bear market and they are dead now. I still think altcoins are more volatile than bitcoin.
In the short term, alt is more stable than bitcoin, but in the long term, bitcoin has better stability and will survive, because it becomes the main coin and is more in demand.
Maybe bitcoin is the only one coin have potential and always growing up, you can start investment at bitcoin because daily day you can get profit and change price of bitcoin.
So regardless of the reason of this last dip. I noticed 2 of the top 10 coins ( XRP and XLM) sort of survived the dip and performed well against BTC which usually is not the case comparing this dip to previews dips . take 11th oct 2018 for example.
in USD rate in the last 7 days :
BTC dropped : 13.48%
XRP dropped : 6.7 %
XLM dropped : 9.2%
also XRP surpassed ETH "not for the first time" but this time i think it will last.
I think that these 2 coins will remain more stable than bitcoin for a long time.
seems like centralization or semi-centralization in crypto is going to take over one way or the other. I hope not but we shall see soon.
tell me what you guys think?
It's just a matter of time and situation, in fact no one can predict when a crypto currency will be stable or not, all have their own time and situation when they will be stable and not
we cant figure out the stable price of bitcoin and alt coins because there is always ups and down in market.
the price will drops in both bitcoin and other alt coins.
the price will drops in both bitcoin and other alt coins.
it is true for now that bitcoin is being unstable compared to Altcoin, which is starting to be used in 2017, rather than with bitcoin, which has long been one of the first electronic money. You can say this altcoin is increasing compared to bitcoin.
Bitcoin are like the rest of altcoins. They all not too stable and can be say nothing was so stable in cryptocurrency aa their price depend on buyer more then seller. Where no buyer so their will be more seller and the price will go down. Simple as that.
I think some Alts drop the price too and many good alts drop the price more than 80%. I think its the same with bitcoin because as main currency in cryptomarket, its affecting to most altcoin price in market.
I think you Bitcoin is more stable than any other altcoin. Look at the Bitcoin volatility index to make sense of it as how volatility has reduced over the years. Check the charts here https://bitvol.info/

Bitcoin does have a fluctuating journey that continues and fluctuates, this gives many different requests and offers that will continue to change. Altcoin may have many relatively stable values because enthusiasts still take into account every move.
A coin maybe most stable when there are no or almost completely no usage at all. The prices will stick to the bottom for which I think those percentage might have shown though not totally. But bitcoin is a coin that is used by many, so I think those changes we see are the result of people trading their coins. The stability of prices on XRP could be due to the number of coins they released each month. I think it keeps the price stable relative to its volume.

I admit, the magnitude of the decrease that occurs in BTC is the biggest compared to other cryptocurrencies, but if you only rely on such calculations, I think that is the wrong method. Why did I say that?, because the growth rates of BTC, XRP, and XLM were never stable or the same as the previous days. IMO, everything that happens in the market's only temporary, nothing's eternal. BTW, how long have you been analyzing?
Ripple tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will fall again to third place now Ethereum has more growth opportunities than Ripple. On account of bitcoin you noticed correctly)
I do not think so that Bitcoin is less stable than some ALTs. It is true that sometimes bitcoin price increases or decrease more than other coins but you can not say Bitcoin is less stable than some ALTs. Most of the altcoins are affected by bitcoin. Bitcoin is the only coin that is most trusted and stable from other altcoins.
This is not true. Bitcoin is more stable than most altcoins. When the market is in a long-term bear market, Bitcoin's decline is much smaller than that of altcoins. You can check that the market has found that most altcoins have lost more than 90% of the value.
If we check the earlier market, you will find that the current price of Bitcoin is still much higher than the price a few years ago, but altcoins are not necessarily, many are dead.

I think that altcoins are a big force and in the future Bitcoin will have less and less influence on the market.
Said like a proper shitcoin maximalist. I wonder which coins you are bagholding and how much of the koolaid you have been drinking so that they could brainwash you to this extent.

I believe that in the future altcoins will be able to develop regardless of the situation with Bitcoin.
"Forks" of some system does not go far. Bitcoin has in several times proven its worth and its properties of censorship resistance, universality and immutability. It will always be above the altcoins no matter what happens in future.People of the bitcoin forum need to start studying the bitcoin whitepaper more often than listening to fabricated lies of altcoin "devs".
I also have the same opinion as you, and I think it is clear that XLM and XRP are crypto that will give a surprise in the future
Bitcoin cannot be more stable than every single altcoin in different periods of time. Usually when market is bearish Bitcoin is more stable than majority of the altcoins, so it could be a good option to hold.
During bullish periods there are altcoins that can grow higher than btc. (as %)

Cryptocurrencies cannot be stable ever. Their prices always depend on the demand and supply. The high volatility is their main characteristic. Additionally, altcoins always follow Bitcoin.

lately the value of bitcoin tends to be stable and persist in the range of $ 3000. when a lot of altcoins keep moving up or down, bitcoin is still very slow, and that certainly makes investors and hodlers a little hurt by this situation. but this is a good start to starting market movements next year.
Bitcoins price movements are generally slower as compare to the altcoins. The reason for this is that bitcoin marketcap is much larger than any of the alt and it is not easy to manipulate the bitcoins easily as compare to alts which are low in volume.
I find it quicker though. Exactly the reason why most traders like to trade BTC too because its easy to profit with a good timing. I don't think you can manipulate prices by yourself. If in a day the price hit up to 2%, its a spike and you might wanna sell and wait for the price to dip again.
