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 would go for altcoins..as an investors we are always looking for the growth percentage of our capital and altcoins have more potential with that compared to bitcon..
Bitcoin had always been treated as a "gold"in this crypto market,but crypto now is not only about decentralization.its now more focused with advancement of technology and development in a decentralized system.
Like what youve said industry Pioneers had always been taken out by new competitors and theres really a big possibilities that same thing will happen with bitcoin and the cryptocurrencies.
