Most of the altcoins I've bought have under performed when compared to Eth/BTC. I'm a long-term believer in COSS, however. With COSS you get paid out dividends collected from the site's transaction fees. I'm really hoping their site takes off and starts paying out a lot more. If the exchange grows as much as other exchanges, it can be a very profitable crypto to invest in.

COSS started as very promising alternative to regular exchanges by using the concept of reward based on the amount of COSS token held on exchange. Due to fascinating concept, it first raised $5-6M, then gathered users on large scale and then value of token rose 4-5x. But after the intro of DEX like IDEX, use of platforms like COSS diminished. Main reason for that is the withdrawal fees charged by COSS to compensate COSS holders is very high. So I don't think it is wise choice to go for COSS now.

Which one do you think is a better investment?
Bitcoin is used only for trading purposes whereas there are some altcoins which provides added features along with their purchase. For instance, there are privacy coins/tokens.

Also, there is Ydentity which is the first risk-identity token to use a scientific method of evaluation of the member’s initial condition to issue a predictive model for onboarding and underwriting.

If you are currently holding any altcoins, let me know what kind of added benefits they provide.

Comment your opinions on which are better and why.
So, you right altcoins really apart from trading can give us many interesting and useful features. But bitcoin is already a popular way of payment, and as a result many people can not refuse to use it.

Altcoins are far more dangerous investments because the small market cap that most of them have, they tend to be much more voltality then bitcoin.

Altcoins usually provide some solutions to things that bitcoin doesn't have or they come to offer a very limited section of things, like decentralized betting or decentralized exchange, they do aim to provide decentralized systems of their network.

On the other hand bitcoin has been here for very long and is counted to medium risk investment compared to the cryptocurrency world, the main purpose of bitcoin is to transfer value and it has been keeping value for about 10 years, bitcoin has been here for longer and that's why people trusts it more.

Hello all! On my opinion right now better have deal with alt coins nobody know what will happens tomorrow! Maybe next Satoshi will create better version of Bitcoin and alt coins not will be so popular! I don't know!
You're wrong. Altcoins play a big role in the world of cryptocurrencies. During the peak of the growing popularity of bitcoin in the past year, we saw how transactions get stuck for a few days. Altcoins have accumulated extra money and made the network more stable. Now they may fall in value but once bitcoin recovers they will rise in value more than bitcoin.

Many altcoin are providing better technologies and facilities than bitcoin. Still bitcoin is the king crypto and it will have a influence over the market. Now among the alts I like Etherum the most as it is growing very fast      
It is very considerate to invest a certain coin which have a huge potentiality of gaining. Thus, in the current situation we had, bitcoin isn't quite profitable than of some alts. Can't we just only refer to Ethereum but also to other altcoins just like NEO, Ripple and Tronix. They are a good competitor in the market race and simply have possibilities to grow.

I think between Bitcoin and altcoin is interdependent, Bitcoin can advance because of Altcoin. And Altcoin will never exist if there is no Bitcoin. if talking which one is better, it is clear Bitcoin better than Altcoin, this has been proven from the value of Bitcoin far above Altcoin.

I think Bitcoin has the qualities to be considered coin.

A coin would be more usefull for society if its value is stable, as people could predict investments and offer products and services. So, it is a question of more people using bitcoin.

BTC is still a good choice for long-term investments because the huge profits make btc favored by many people. currently, I still choose btc as an investment that gives big profit.
actually, bitcoin and altcoin are interrelated. even we can see it now. bitcoin is like leading the entire price of altcoin. so, when the bitcoin price is falling, the altcoin price will also fall. well, it's normally like that. but I prefer to use altcoin to get a lot of bitcoin.
Apparently you are very much sure that Bitcoin will return its maximum value again, as it was in 2017. To date, a lot of crypto currency users have become disillusioned with Bitcoin.

Hard to say, because both btc and some altcoins are good. But you need to know, that bitcoin is the best and in my opinion invest on this is always a good idea.


I certainly agree. Both are a good one to invest with, not only bitcoin but there are also some high potential altcoins which are worth to invest. It is always wise to do to diversify your portfolio and not put all your eggs in one basket.

I also agree with both being as equally valuable when it comes to crypto trading etc. BTC is the mother of altcoins but even some altcoins have perhaps surpassed the expected market value and if you're knowledgeable enough you can spot those in trend and spread out to altcoins for some profit.

Bitcoin is good investment for Long-Term. If you want to invest on Bitcoin, maybe its time to buy ( cause at this time bitcoin price going down, more than 50% from last year ).

But, Long-Term its not suitable for me, and i do not interest to hold Bitcoin for Big Amount.

For me, altcoin is good for trading..

Indeed. We all know for sure that both of these coins are pretty good. But to choose on both of them, I'd rather select Bitcoin. Bitcoin is widely known as the best of the best coin and the King of all cryptocurrency world. On the other hand, there are alt coins that fails to do its job and many alt coins are relying on Bitcoin. BTC is the number one good suggestion or recommendation when it comes to investment and high value of profit.

Bitcoin is still (and will remain) the best cryptocurrency as a store-of-wealth and for commercial/consumer use. That means certainly do not invest in Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, DASH, NANO, or other "currency first" coins.

However, there are a wide range of utilites, functionalities, and platforms embodied by numerous altcoins and alternative blockchains. If you are looking to invest in the future of crypto, and its imminent technological adoption, then it may be wiser to invest in projects like Ethereum, Icon, VeChain, etc. etc. etc.
Mtgox is the worst part of bitcoin. Mtgox was selling bitcoin anything. I think that the only reliable coin is only ethereum because it can't be considered as security and that means ethereum has the same position as bitcoin itself.
