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

What's your take on it ?

It's great to always have some bitcoins because they are the most stable and reliable, and you usually need bitcoins in order to buy any altcoins. So I think its a good idea to have bitcoins available when you find an alt coin you want to invest in.

Similar to stocks, it's a good idea to have a diversified portfolio. Alt coins are similar to penny stocks to me in the sense that they are much riskier but have a greater potential for profit.

I say 50/50. Invest in both BTC and good altcoins. Investing in good altcoins has I think faster ROI, of course when you really researched about the coin youre gonna invest to. BTC is a long term investment.

Feels more likely to follow bitcoin down to a final correction than go up. But that's based on gut feel rather than analysis. I don't see this overall correction being this short.

do you think just look where that is more promising. If I then prefer the altcoin because of the match if used in the long term or short term. If the price is already high because of the bitcoin is surely difficult to climb higher again.

Holding bitcoin and buying altcoins at the same time will do you nothing but good. As a matter of fact, will do you super good. This is a win-win situation. Bitcoin is here to stay although it's value is like a see-saw (up-down) but nevertheless it is a really good investment. On the other hand there were altcoins that are showing possibilities that you can use for trading.

Sold my Bitcoins to diversify into different trusted alt coins. I think alt coins are cheap enough right now so I took my chances.

According to my opinion if you have enough knowledge regarding trade then also buy some altcoin and hold them,If totally depend upon one coin mean you limit the resources.Some part hold Bitcoin for long time some part of investment trade in altcoins to grow your income.

You give to us not knowledge about your current situation, are you only holding bitcoin? Because if that is the case then you need to diversify and get some altcoins, even if you only get some of the most known altcoins that is still better than nothing, however if you got a lot of altcoins and you only have a small amount of bitcoin then it may be a good idea to keep the bitcoin.

The best option is hold some bitcoin and buy alts. You can hold btc long time but if you will be need some money you will be can sell alts and still waiting when bitcoin will be more expensive to sell

I would always suggest keeping bitcoin in your portfolio. With that being said, having some altcoins in the portfolio does give you a chance for fairly rapid growth potential. So maybe a mix of both, some bitcoin and some altcoin.

I divide it into two, one part includes bitcoin, and the other part includes altcoins. This way, I reach a balance for my coins. I don't miss price pumps and opportunities by the way.

better buy altcoin just because it has many types and the resulting profits certainly bigger altcoin compared bitcoin if in my opinion. because altcoin is now also getting high and start riding as well as bitcoin.

Almost all cryptocurrencies are in correction including bitcoin.Some traders are expecting altcoins to rise while the bitcoin is down but it did not happen as many altcoins also followed bitcoin downtrend. Altcoins are good to buy now but you should select the altcoin that has the growth potential in 2018 and continue to hold your remaining bitcoins.

Many alts are heavily linked to bitcoin wereas others are unlinked and even reversely correlated. A good  mix can help softening the downturns, but you have to do your research.

There are two options, the lazy one is hodling. The active one is exchanging from Ether to BTC as needed and run for the ICOs. Mine is none of these... or better said, a bit of both. I only Hodl is I see long term value.

After the fork rumor, the price of bitcoin has risen. Altcoin prices have fallen again.
The markets are quite complicated. I think investing in altcoins may be a better choice at the moment

I think it would be better to invest in both because either Bitcoin or Altcoin now have the same progress to grow and develop in the future and it seems that both investment with 50% each is wise enough.

no, they arent have the same progress. bitcoin has a rapid growth while altcoins had a much slower improvements.

it is wiser if you could just put 75% on bitcoins and 25% on the altcoins for a much better gains because bitcoins tends to deliver faster results in just a shorter time though it is also suitable for long term investments. altcoins on the other hand are best used for active trading because most of them are pretty stable.

overall id suggest is to hold bitcoins as an investment and buy altcoins for  trading and long term hodling.

Bitcoin is likely the most stable coin in the near future. That means you can use it to limit your risk when investing to cryptocurrencies, for example putting half to BTC and the other half to a variety of altcoins. With altcoins you will have a bigger risk along with a potential for a bigger reward.
