It also depends on whether the investor has time to sit and trade for hours or not and when you trade the day the market is like. So depending on the time that we should buy and hold or trade fast.

I think yes. Bitcoin is the best when it comes to long-term hold. And it proven in the past. Those people who hold their bitcoins when it was undervalued are millionaire now.

I have been in the market for awhile, and always hear the same mantra about trading to hold more Bitcoin and not Fiat.  I bought into the same mentality for a long time, but I'm changing my tune.  In almost every industry, first generation leaders are replaced by competition.  From Sears, Kmart, Nokia, Motorola, Yahoo, MySpace, etc.  Although Bitcoin is the current crypto reserve currency, I think that its dominance is threatened by ALT coins with faster, cheaper transactions and greater scalability.  What do you think?  Is it smart to hold Bitcoin as a long-term investment, or are there better choices among the ALT coins like Ethereum or Litecoin?
I think you should not keep long-term bitcoin, market in recent days are recovering slightly, bitcoin prices are constantly rising but you can see that this is just uptrend in the short term. In the longer term, bitcoin prices are still bearish, so if you invest long-term bitcoin you will be able to face very heavy losses.

Of course, Bitcoin is the best long term investment. An expert said that bitcoin price will be up to $25,000 in 2020-2022
I think that is it the best time to buy and hold for a long time.

no its not. bicoin can rise and pumped for just a shorter amount of time and that simply means bitcoin is the best when it comes to short term investments but sure we can also use it for long term mid term or any other terms of investment. i only prefer altcoins if im going to invest for a longer time span because as what i always experience, altcoins tend to grow slower as oppose to bitcoin.

Disclaimer: this statement is only based on my own experience and im not encouraging anyone to follow my advice. Final decision will still depend on every other person.

Yeahhh,, bitcoin is leader. all coins are born due to bitcoin. and bitcoin is very beneficial if it holds long term. by 2017 bitcoin rises to 20x from january. the more people who know and see the bitcoin very profitable, I think they will hunt bitcoin and keep it.I think it will make bitcoin prices rise in the next few years..

Well, one cannot be optimistic on whether Bitcoin will be the best coin to hold for a long period of time because anything can happen in crypto currency market for in the next two years ethereum can become some thing else as it happen to be the most wildly accepted alternative crypto currency.

Rather than any coins, bitcoin is tge best coin to hold for a long term investment. We have seen it's improvement in time and we shouldn't doubt anything about it since the evidences are visible and we are the living proof of it. It has the highest value and it could rise more.

I believe that bitcoin is like gold in crypto world and he will always be on the top of Cryptocurrencies list, because from bitcoin everything start and most people heard about bitcoin. So I would say yes, bitcoin is best for long-term hold. We saw how bitcoin hit almost $20 000 , so there is no reason why he don't hit again in future.

The highest bitcoin price among other coins and in my opinion Hold is best for the long term I think, the most important thing to be predictable or knowledge information so that the value is maintained as desired.

The span of trading is not directly connected to the success of the trading becasue the success of trading is always dependent on someone's skills and willingness to earn and to gain profit. If someone will put effort to develop as a trader there would be a higher chance for them to earn compare to those who just hold for a living. Trading is a matter of decision making.

ETH in my opinion.
now 1 btc = 11 eth
next year 1 eth = 11 bitcoin

Bold statement without any backing. Typical response on these forums.

I don't think you should take your chance with altcoins. Bitcoin currently and will (for a while) have the largest market cap because it's simply the coin that people know of. The amount of people that know about bitcoin versus ethereum is likely not even close. Even if those people were to know the both of them, there's even a higher disconnect between the people who know how they work and those who don't. If a new investor sees bitcoin, a coin that he/she has heard about from her friends, coworkers, news, etc., and then sees ethereum which doesn't have as much of a market presence, I'm sure the investor would go with the safer choice, which is bitcoin.
Totally agree with you. Doing such statements without proving, it's just nonsense! Bitcoin has no competitors and I think he will be a leader for a long time, and Eth has a lot of competitors and he will have to fight for his place!

I think there are other alt coins that are promising and worth hold for a long term bases.
Bitcoin is the best ever long term hold because there is no such currency that can compete with the Bitcoin is all proportions. The Bitcoin is unique in the crypto market with its highest value and the reputed popularity all over the world is a sign of success for the Bitcoin.

If we really want to invest for long term then we should select the Bitcoin because the Bitcoin is profitable and that is what an investor considers important.

It's true, bitcoin is the best long term coin to hold. Besides, bitcoin prices high and high fees too, and movement of bitcoin prices so slow.

That's impossible to tell, way too many possibilities

Crypto could crash in general or will rise but new projects will take over because of being much more faster and introducing new technologies.


Just diversify your portfolio and invest wisely in promising projects also.

Bitcoin is called digital gold for a reason. I think that today, bitcoin is one of the most reliable investments. Of course, it makes sense to have ether (and other coins) and keep part of it in fiat. All (or most) of traders have bitcoin for a reason. Therefore, for the next few years it makes sense to keep bitcoin long (in my opinion)

Now we can already say that bitcoin is not the only priority in the crypto currency, as it was before. While in terms of functionality, he is inferior to many young coins. He never did properly perform his basic function - the function of money, that is, the means of payment. In it it is still worth investing, since the price of all the crypto currency depends on its price, but along with it, even most of its funds are better placed in other coins and even promising tokens.
Bitcoin is the best and the greatest long term investment and has been considered as universally as the number one long term investment with huge returns. The response of the Bitcoin is very good and excellent that is important for people in order to remove and clear their worries and difficulties. If someone invests for long term then the outcome will be huge and vice versa.

Right now I bought bitcoin for a long position. In the next two or three days I expect a bull rally. I hope everyone on this event to make money.
Definitely yes, bitcoin is still the best long tern hold but i believe that holding our bitcoin for really a long time is can help us to be very profitable, because the price  of bitcoin can be really high even more than $30k before this 2018 will end.
