Hold bitcoin as your long investment, and buy the altcoin for your short investment, it's easy to use when you hold bitcoin even you're not always on your PC
Bitcoin is the easy one when you wanna start invest on it.

You necessarily do not need to buy altcoin for short investment. The truth is that year in and year out, some coins will always keep doing well and then we will end up seeing them be usable since they have a product.

All the above, this does not mean that some of them will end up in the drain as not all companies are meant to survive anyway, but I have been holding some coins for a while now and they are doing great, at least better than when I bought them, until I decide to sell.

I prefer buy altcoins because it is much faster currency I dont have bitcoins, almost all my money is at altcoins. What will be when everyone buy all bitcoins and hold it? Huh

can you elaborate more on what your trying to say? faster in the means of what? well if its in terms of price then bitcoin is much faster rather than altcoins but if it is in transactions then some alts can be more faster when compared to bitcoins.

I think BTC is the most stable currency with the ETH, if you need to invest money.
Alcoins aren't stable, especially if they are feeling, you can't predict their stock exchange.

holy moly dude, bitcoin is not the most stable currency because it is a highly volatile coin therefore its value can easily fluctuate oftenly from time to time but altcoin are the real ones who is much stable and alts can be easily predicted but not the bitcoin.

today it's a bet, if BTC continue his bull run will squeeze the majority of alts.
At the same time if you are able (and fortunate) to pick the bottom of the right coin/token it will give you back more gains. you can try to do that, waiting for a bottom bounce, pick a coin an setting stop losses, so if the coin will rintrace, you still have the initial amount of BTC

Should I hold Bitcoins Or should I buy Altcoins with it.
And Why ?

What's your take on it ?

Both are good, but if you want a bigger income go for alts. Alts can be a hedging instrument against bitcoin, if its growth is bigger than bitcoin during a span of time and when you trade it for bitcoins it can give you more bitcoins and bitcoins itself has a gaining potential, it's like earning in 2 process while the bitcoin alone does give you a gain through its appreciation of value.

Alts I would take now only for short-term and only for a bounce from ATL, they are falling in BTC price after every BTC movement in any direction. I lost a lot of BTC on hodling alts. Now their are cheaper even more when I sold them.

Split your bitcoin or make 70/30 in favor of holding bitcoins, by that way you take the risk of buying a possible alt coins while maintaining your bitcoins. Don't put all your money for alt coins because when some bad luck comes you'll definitely regret the decision you've made and you'll start from scratch with nothing left of your wallet, holding some bitcoins will provide you a good foundation for the future. And when the alt coin you buy rise and become a successful coin in the next years the money that you put there can double or triple.

I like to diversify. I think it’s good to hold Bitcoins and maybe most of your money should be in Bitcoins, but I like to keep about 5 other coins. I prefer altcoins in or near the top ten in market cap because most of these will last for a long time.

This is my philosophy because it’s possible that ETH or other altcoins will out perform Bitcoin. There could even be one that breaks out for a huge profit. You should do your own research to decide which color be you like best.

I agree. Even though bitcoin is crypto, when we are talking about investment the same rules of CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) apply. The idea is to diversify in order to remove specific (unsystematic) risk. Then your portfolio is only subject to systematic risk. Holding only bitcoin is amazing when it is growing so fast, but it will be as miserable if it starts falling.

Well, either hold your Bitcoins or invest some of the in some altcoins but don't sell all your Bitcoins. Bitcoins is the safer investment but you can try some altcoins too.

It is better to have BTC now as the value is going to increase more. Altcoins price don't really move, so they are going to be very cheap compare to BTC.

The 12/08 at 1.30 Bitcoin has made the historical highs and the altcoins have collapsed a lot, I think today we could repeat the same thing

in order to safely use just some bitcoin you have to buy altcoin. If a good thing then that's a good thing, but if not then you still have savings bitcoin to invest

If you are long term holder and prefer long term trading, hold it is good choice then.
But if in my opinion, because sometime i like also short trading, i will convert into altcoin 40 or 50% of my bitcoin.

because of the bitcoin has begun to rise again for a higher price then hold course formerly bitcoin you have. or if you want to sell some bitcoin you have to buy altcoin who might later can go up as well.

Looking for gigs

If I have some few Bitcoins to own, I wouldn't hold all of them. I just never put all eggs in one basket. I would invest some of my Bitcoins in other altcoins and promising ICOs. Even though that somebody predicted that Bitcoin's price will be $100,000 in 2019, I would not hold all BTCs. You know why? Bitcoin's price could fluctuate in just a matter of minutes or hours.

I hope my advice would help you a lot. Good luck!
