it depends on what kind of altcoins, but I think most high market cap altcoins will follow Bitcoin move for example if Bitcoin goes up then eth will rise at the same time but maybe with few hours of delay.

Its a fact that altcoin price for btc trading is increasing now, the lowest price was gone and altcoin will rise with the market, there is little danger for those which have been listed on large exchanges like Binance and Huobi, but if for those which only listed on small exchanges, it will be dangerous indeed

Standing in the bottom is always dangerous, but the winner is much better. In these market conditions, BTC and ETH are the most secure.

It is not dangerous if you hold potential coins. I think holding alts would have more risks than BTC, ETH and so on because no one can predict the price will go up or down and will fluctuate a lot due to trading market. you'd better hold some of top 10 coins and become quite profitable.

in my opinion is not dangerous, but more towards our foresight in tradingnya. because if we are in a hurry in exchange for altcoin, will cause a loss in investment. as we know that now altcoin prices have not been so stable. and it takes carefulness for the future of altcoin that we hold.  Smiley

Although risks of this type are all heavy, there are ways to develop confidence trading. Research about exclusive economy connections or patent development would likely skyrocket exact efforts put in. Don't ever kid yourself, these coins all have held value persistent to claim exchange.

I doubt ALT's will ever collapse, because known alternatives have to exist.

Follow through using exact metrics and results to hold become easy to follow through with.

Yes it is, in comparison with bitcoin it is very dangerous. And as everything in investment world, more risk x more potential profit, so just study the project you are in and see if it worths the hodling or not.

I think it isn't dangerous at all as long as you are fully aware of the kind of altcoins you currently have or plan to hold. Awareness
in a sense wherein you also know what to do with them, considering the value and price of altcoins isn't that much high compared
to bitcoins. That definitive timing to hold and sell should something be of concern. Although some would disagree on this because,
with recent market situations pertaining to the ongoing dips, altcoins don't seem to be profitable. Bitcoins is having trouble, how
much more altcoins, they depend on bitcoin's trail and behavior nowadays. So holding altcoins is a risky but still good option.
I think people still refer this year as the year of altcoins, I think that stills stands despite the dips and red days recently.

Last year alts rise a lot. I dont know the average percentage. But when I check coins in the market at year 2013 lots of them dead now (too low ranks). probably new tech coins won them (like peercoin, namecoin, ixcoin etc)

Also we are following new ICO s and most of us expecting too much gain from new coins which are not at the market. If our ICO expectations will happen, when they added to market, current market coins will go down. kind of paradox  Huh

Hodling Alts could be dangerous if you are new to crypto or alts! due to sudden lose but if you buy at correct time (mean dip ) then you can make good profit !
Happy Trading

It would definitely be more dangerous to hold unpopular altcoins than bitcoin for investment purpose, as the trading volumes of those unpopular altcoins are not huge on the crypto-currencies trading market, there is a risk that it might be taken off from the trading pairs by crypto-currencies exchanges anytime.

I don't think it is dangerous. To my own personal perspective holding altcoins create an avenue to get much more than you can ever imagine in cryptocurrency and who knows one might be multi millionaire overnight  Lips sealed
in reality everything can be and everything can happen as you guessed, but in order to get the status of a millionaire, even overnight, you must initially spend a lot of time and money to prepare. If you make a good investment, with a large starting capital, then this is quite real.

No . if we know the certainty and chance we will definitely get a lot of advantages in the presence of cryptocurrency. so in my opinion there is no loss if we keep altcoin as long as it is clear

Depends on who's doing the holding. Most people are holding alts with the idea that they might have a huge return on investment in the long run. But the fate of all cryptocurrency is speculative at best, even bitcoin has shown that much already. But it's normal, out with the old and in with the new, without a proportionate mainstream usage, and as long as Ethereum gates are open along with other dApp enabled platforms with smart contract options, ICOs will still gush out. So yea, a paradox.

Holding any crypto asset is dangerous and no one knows if it will go up or down but if you believe in a project and it has credentials you should be fine

i believe that if you have researched the devs, the project, the product or service carefully, holding altcoin is completely safe in long term. Otherwise, if you just buy and hold by heard others, you can face with losses.

All that pertains to crypto can indeed be that it's dangerous or risky, all back to each of us in the face of all things related to crypto and how the steps must be taken that can be able to determine the right coins to be hold within a specified period of time specified. The top coins., I think it could be more avoid a danger or risk, of course this is still often in demand by many people and a certain supports.

To buy or not to buy - that is the question ;)

I guess it depends more in which token you hold, if you see that capitalization of token is huge but the price is still low it is good to hold it for a while, but if you see that capitalization is low I don't think it is worthy to hold token for long.

holding altcoin is something that has a very high risk but can not be called dangerous. especially if you hold the coins now when the price is down. it is not a dangerous thing.
the only things you need to remember when investing in crypto currency and plan to hold it is dint buy in a high pricr just buy when the market is red like what is happening now.
