Should we invest in altcoins?and why?which is better altcoins or equity shares?

Stay away from equity shares.

Equity shares will the first ones to be deemed as securities.

If the SEC deems that the altcoin is a security, that altcoin will go to zero or crash minimally.

Buy an altcoin that has a function. Bitcoin has a function, as it is used to transfer value (currency) or store value (like gold). Your ownership of one Bitcoin doesn't represent ownership of anything other than the one Bitcoin. Firstblood or Kik serve functions.

Coins that sit on a spreadsheet to determine your percentage share of the equity, profits, dividends or underlying assets (real estate, other coins, etc.) will be the first to be deemed as securities.

With the recent break of upward trendline by bitcoin, I would wait and watch how the alts react. Sometimes the alts surge with rising bitcoin value and sometimes they tank. So wait and watch how some high market cap alts react and then decide about investing in low or mid segments of alts.

As someone already said here, altcoins are penny stocks with much better returns as well as huge capital loss possibilities too and IMHO, equity shares couldn't give you those returns but they are not that risky compared to altcoins. Altcoins are good if care is taken while investing and complete research is done. Too much hyped altcoins may prove to be better investments which doesn't seem to have pumped for longer time and have gained some better momentum in its volume levels (these include those which have small caps).

With the price of bitcoin being relatively stable, for a quick profit traders are going with new altcoins.
No one can say what coin would be success, study and try your luck.

Yes we should invest in altcoins because there are really some good altcoins like stratis, lisk, waves and litecoin. Ethereum is also an altcoin and now everyone can see its amazing success within just 2 years.

It depends on whether you can handle volatility.

Altcoins are more volatile than small cap stocks.

Then again, if you're a day-trader, then altcoins are better than small cap stocks.

I agree. If you are day trading, altcoin/bitcoin trading is very profitable. But if you just want to invest and wait for a few years for profit, I say have both. A diversified portfolio is much better and less risky.

Altcoins are great, but you need to pick wisely. Bitcoin seems to always rise but some alts will rise at a much faster rate. Others of course will be abandoned and drop so do your research and choose a good one.

If you are looking for short terms swings then altcoins could be for you just make sure you take the time to do proper research. Where BTC is pretyt popular and you can find some news easily you need to be able to dig deeper in altcoin research to make sure you are not jumping in on the wrong side of a pump and dump or some scam. Always take the time to look at the altcoin in detail to include upcoming developments, who the team is and what their history is as well as any and all news on the altcoins in the last few months or years. Once you do that then you can make a educated decision on if it is worth investing your money into.

In theory I believe that altcoins bring profit short-term. Yet, from my own experience, my attempts to trade were either unprofittable or ended up being long-term investments. If the coin's growing it's really hard to make yourself sell it, right? In general, investing in altcoins is more safe and flexible than dealing with papers. Most of the good ones grow with time, even though they are volatile and can fall down catastrophically.

altcoin is suggested to deployed, but not for now, also not too much, it may bring you high profits, yet with high risk, buy altcoin when the whole market is rising maybe a good choice

the context of the question is self-directed. I mean you yourself have to ask yourself.
how many people are involved in allcoin, and how they invest their money just for allcoin. I think all the answers of all that is self. how can you be interested in allcoin
me. always do some research before buying allcoin. I dont want to spend my money just to no avail. so this is based on a study of something.

For the top alts I do some long term trading when I bought it. But mostly, most of the altcoins are for short trading.It is very risky for me to hold for a long time, it might not having a value in the long run.

You should investigate and find the best ICO that will give you massive return when you invest. Just like stock market, the stocks may increase and gain profit or it may decrease and loose investment.

because it can reward you a lot if you invest wisely on the right ico, there are some coins that can go very high 100x and many go 10x, but you need to lower your risk and buy cheap coins not the one with high value

I have come to the conclusion that altcoins are just there to part people from their Bitcoins.... there is no real demand for any of the utility that they offer, nor is there anything special happening and most of the founders seem to run with the ICO money and leave a shell of a company behind.

Just get your Bitcoins and HODL..

The best way is to diversify your holdings and, for example, 80% of your portfolio keep in alts because you can get bigger returns.

Everyone use to say that we have invest on bitcoin and hold it but you are saying differently to invest in altcoin nearly 80% of the amount. Recent days eth based ICO have been emerged big wig and giving opportunities to make profit with the token sale purchase itself. Because of this many gamblers invested and waiting for the payment like that.

Investing on bitcoins is the safe way of making money in long term. But for this, we have to put more money to buy bitcoins. To buy altcoins we don't need more money, but if we invest on right coin, then our income will be double what we are expecting on bitcoin investment profit. So investing on altcoins is worth.

If any body buy Btc and not buy any altcoin,then he is losing some benefit of altcoin growth. suppose you buy Btc on $3500 and after that you invest that Btc in any altcoin then both coin will go up. In that case you will get double Return Of your investment. Otherwise Single buying of btc will give single growth.

The problem is choosing which altcoin is most promising and will bring more return.
