If in trading . I'll go with altcoins, there are many altcoins nowadays that is active in the markets and has high volume. You can use that to earn profits by just trading and I believe that altcoins are also have use, they can be hold for long term and sell it when you are already happy.
Trading bitcoin and altcoins in aequal proportionate is the smart way. Plan like 50% in bitcoin, other 50% segregated into 2 or 3 different altcoins which has good potential and growth like Ethereum, Ripple etc. Do a thorough research before investing into any altcoin other than ethereum since ethereum is the next best altcoin next to bitcoin. You can use https://coinmarketcap.com for selecting the top altcoins and their potential.
I am holding and trading both of them, Bitcoin and some promising altcoins. Bitcoin still in the first place of course because its the best crypto currency actually, and it have the highest price, but also there are some good altcoins like ETH, Ripple which are expected to become very valuable soon.
Bitcoin is actually the ultimate in cryto currencies holding it has a full potential values considering it's high volatility l belief the price will continue to increase although it experience some pullbacks.Meanwhile there are some altcoins too that has potentials to compete with bitcoin like ethereum, ripple and tron these coins has better future ahead.
I think that some altcoins will not only survive, but will also compete with bitcoin. While bitcoin does not develop, alternative coins are actively improved. For example, a ripple very quickly increases in price due to fast transactions.
Altcoin is also a very large market of digital currencies and you need to stay up to date regarding them as well. There are many good coins which can generate decent profits for you. As far as ripple is concerned, it is just in the beginning stages. It needs a lot of hard work and improvement to stand next to bitcoin. I don’t think so there is any coin that can give tough time to bitcoin. Bitcoin will always be the boss.

I am sure everyone is aware about the rise of altcoins like ETH and Litecoin so I just want to know expert's opinion whether to invest in bitcoin or altcoins as the price of bitcoin is too high now for an individual to invest into it ? Do you think these altcoins will survive and pump just like bitcoin or its better to stick to bitcoin ?
Bitcoin surprises everyone with his height. Let's speculate. For example, the chances that bitcoin will grow 2 times lower than the opportunities to grow by 2 times such currencies as OmiseGO, ETH, Dash, Lisk, Waves, Stratis, Ark, Dash, Nem, and this is a fact. At the moment I prefer altcoins.Good points mate. But, if I may add, I would be a little greedy and say both because bitcoin, having the highest value with a few price point surges in a year, fits in well as a contingency or emergency holding which you can hold for a long time or to be used at any time should the opportunity arises. Altcoins, on thexperience other hand, are good for short time investmen's because they are quick to dispose.
Investing in both bitcoin and altcoin is a very good decision but I prefer huge investment in bitcoin rather than altcoins. Both can give huge profit but I like to hold bitcoin for long.
When we see the loss of dominance of bitcoin, I find it logical to turn to the alts, especially that there are beautiful projects
Altcoins are going bit high but bitcoin is still king of crypto so I will go from the bitcoin because its profit rates are very high and it is the easier way to get maximum out of you own money, those who have not enough capital they can try altcoins but those who are established bitcoin is truly favorable for them and they will start getting profit on very next moment of buying as well so all these are facts that shows bitcoin is leading.Bitcoin will be the king of crypto for a long run, but apparently Altcoins are recently growing crazily and few even gave more return within a Quarter. So its better to indulge in alt as well, ya its difficult to identify the special ones but if you can you will surely make greater profits. For new investors 60% in Alts and 40% in Bitcoin or upto your risk taking capability you can increase the ratio towards altcoins.
I use bitcoin as the fiat currency for my trades. Otherwise investin fiat money is a mess to the exchanges. This way I also hold some few bitcoin as the stock value of my portfolio.

10% BTC and 90% alts, risk appetite high atm.
easy to answer, if you want stability you go for bitcoin, if you want more profit you go for altcoin
Other than this, it also depends on the amount of money which you are having for investing that money into crypto currency as well as your future planning after buying those crypto coins. If you are buying because of the reason that you want to hold them for some long period of time, then you have to go for bitcoin. On the other hand, altcoin is the best choice for day trading.
I would go for both. There are some future-valuable alticos in my portofolio 
In this moment where ethereum blockchain is in trouble, it is right to choose bitcoin over altcoins. The price of btc now is coming very near to $20,000. In my opinion, before the year ends, this would be above $20,000.
The craziest part is that BTC predominance will surely keep smashing them and that has been a tough one for most alts. I cannot say for now how long this is going to be like, but at least to be in the safe zone; I would rather hold BTC majorly and be trading Alts to use the profit to save up some of them for the future. Who knows? As a lot of them has really proven to be some worthy coins to hold.

It is not even a competition. Altcoins can only be competing among themselves right now but competing with bitcoin is like something that is just too much to ask for. What bitcoin have experienced and scaling through, a lot of these altcoins have not even experienced 1% of it and most of them still find it very hard to cope. Altcoins are good for diversification. Some will bring profit, while some may not but it is a world of the unknown, so we just have to take the risk. 
A long term investor will not set aside neither BTC nor the good altcoins.
BTC will keep it's dominance for many years and in that sense it will always be a safe harbor for any investor, but the same can be said about LTC or ETH.
But there are many other promising altcoin projects, and these might prove to be an even better investment.
So, BTC or alt? Both!

When it comes to survival. Those coins will always do well. Since it is a long term investment and no one really knows how long these coins will keep growing, any altcoin with prospect is good to hold right now and ETH as well as LTC cannot be discarded in this category. It is good to diversify but while considering the risk and consistency, Bitcoin really makes me more relaxed when it comes to holding.
I will choose both. It's true that bitcoin is too high for middle-income people, but i think we can set aside some of our salaries to invest in bitcoin even though there are not many and later we can add up to from our next salary. If we do that gradually, surely one day the amount it will be a great. After the nominal is enough, hold it for a few months and we can switch and invest into altcoin whether it is ethereum, litecoin or other altcoins. Do the same thing as done to bitcoin then we will become a genius investor. hehe
Hello author! For me its quite strange equation! Why you need to choose one of this? I think better will be more flexible and make investment mixes because it can make surprise. I am sure Bitcoin and altcoins have good future but we need be attentive and choose right moments - learn to feel the markets atmosphere here!!!
I think that some altcoins will not only survive, but will also compete with bitcoin. While bitcoin does not develop, alternative coins are actively improved. For example, a ripple very quickly increases in price due to fast transactions.
It would be better if you diversify your investment portfolio into two parts. Although bitcoin price too high, you can still invest 30 percent of your funds into it. With the rest of the 70 percent, you can invest into several high prospect altcoins.
