Topic: Is hodling alts dangerous? - page 34. (Read 4477 times)
Holding of altcoins has been got risk in it, smart people easily overcome it selling when the price reaches a higher value and once again buys it back when the price falls. Some users out of greed expect big value to be reached without analyzing the market for the respective asset and this leads to loss making holding to be dangerous.
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
for now I feel that holding a coin is not a dangerous thing, just in case you are in a hurry to sell coins because you fear your loss will fall into regret 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

And tell me better what now it is not dangerous to do in the crypto-currency. Always and everywhere you have to act at your own peril and risk, and about the appearance of new coins and the reduction of the current price it is wrong, because all coins are individual and have different characteristics and functional. Also we are following new ICO s and most of us expecting too much gain from new coins which are not at the market.

Holding Alts are nt dangerous we need the profits now and then into cash then buy alts at dip that is the only way we can make profits from crypto currencies
if you are in the profit on altkoinam, it is better to fix the profit. And the best thing was to do it a month or two ago. Leave only those coins that have a strong foundation - waves, strat, xem
if investing in altcoin we must be smart in exploting moments when prices rise or fall.because the most important is not his coin but is his profit that we must take as the price starts to rise
Depends on the altcoins you hodl, mate. Most of altcoins will be gone within few yers? months?I bet on utility tokens making headway in 2018/19. Tokinazation that incentivize users will be a trend and making a breakthrough if one of these ICO making a breakthrough with huge userbase.

Hodling is effective of course but it is not effective simply because it is effective as a strategy in itself. It is effective because a lot of cryptocurrencies are proven to grow in the long term rather than on a short-term basis. That is true because projects, well, only the legitimate ones of course, are going take some time for them to finally accomplish the specific milestones indicated in their roadmap. However, everything is dependent upon the coin you are holding. If you are hodling a shitcoin, even if you are hodling it for more than 5 years, it will still remain to be a shitcoin, worse, dead shit.
Holding altcoins is dangerous some times for some coins but not for all the alt coins. Few altcoins are performing well in the past and now. You have to choose which alt coin is the best and invest on it. Road map, white paper, company reputation and advisors behind the project with the nack up team need to be analyzed thoroughly to step in to ICO coin buying.
If you miss any of the above mentioned key things analyzing incorrectly then you may land up in a loss. Always be cautious when choosing ICO.

Holding alts is not dangerous,especially when it is listed to coinmarketcap,.If you want to hold an alts,check it first,its project,the community behind it. Many alts are popular,better to invest on it than to a newly coin which may dump sooner, invest on a coin which has an stable career on market.
any some altcoins is dangerous to hold them for the long time, check it on bittrex some altcoins is already delisted
and di remove at coinmarketcap too.
It is not. hold the coin thus gives an advantage. In addition, to avoid losses by holding coins in the old one, it will also make a surprise because the price of coins continues to rise. Thus a dangerous is when trade coins daily since it is definitely a when experiencing a panic moment in a long time the coin has decreased, and it will make us automatically sell because of fear of loss gets bigger.
I strongly agree with you that the panic will make things worse. When we buy a coin we must be confident in our emotional control ability. Everyone who is patient and able to keep his composure then they will get a satisfactory result, believe me if you focus yourself then you will achieve what you want.

Understand that everything in the crypto space is highly speculative. Find projects with real potential and a solid team and backing. Remember, its the team that will have to implement their roadmap. There's a lot of growth potential in this space but also the potential to lose your entire investment. The important thing is to limit the amount of risk in each investment (no more than 5-10% per investment) to limit your exposure and the chance you lose all your chips
Depends on your definition of "dangerous". Holding anything as long term investment carries risk all the time, it's just a matter of picking the right project or coin to hold, and forget about it in the long run. That's why it's always best to do your own research before investing in anything, and also only invest money that you can afford to lose as well. One example I can give you is when I started investing in DeepOnion. I joined their airdrop program a few months back, and their rules included buying Onions to be part of the program, you will have a percentage base on how much you own. So I bought a few coins and after a few months, DeepOnion's value went up to almost 25USD from my 5USD buy price. If you check now though, it went back to 2USD. From there you can see that markets go up and down so be always ready to take or prepare yourself for losses. I am not selling though as I believe in the project, and besides I have weekly stakes from the airdrop. It's a pretty good privacy coin that runs on the TOR network and is currently being update to include their latest stealth address feature (DeepSend). DeepOnion's price in on fire sale right now, so I suggest to get some as well as who knows how high this coin can go. 
i know holding altcoins at this time is quite a risky move, because we never know will the altcoins drop again, the market is still under the huge down trend and can not get out, so any fluctuation of altcoins at this time can be very dangerous, so we don't have much choice but keep holding and waiting for a little longer until the market has the chance to recover in the future.
Participating in different bounties and airdrops, I have come to the conclusion that holding altcoins for too long is not profitable because they tend to fall significantly in price over its value during the ICO period, so I prefer to sell my altcoins as soon as possible as soon as I get some good profit.
you need to be patient if ever their value had fall because there is always a posibility that they can recover in the right time and yes it is normal for their value to drop after an ico or whenever the coin hits on an online exchange because people especially bounter hunters are selling their coins. but if you only invest on some non ico altcoins , you cant expect this problems to happen. rather you may only experience a normal price fluctuations.

This is a technological battle. It is not really a battle of which comes first and which comes earlier or later. The competition is about which offers a better solution to existing problems. And so it does not matter whether a coin came much earlier for as long as they constantly inject new innovation and updates to their product. This is very vital because crypto is moving fast. There are always new projects that offer something new all the time. If the ones that came first cannot cope with the current technological demands and competition, they will eventually fade.
The long-term investment strategy is a good option, but only if you hodl promising coin.
Also you need to fix the profit - I sell 50% when the coin grows 2-3 times.
I think the first condition to hold altcoin is that the coin promises to be hold. has great potential in the future. of course that potential can be seen from their project, technology that brought, and large users. make sure you hold the coins that have these specifications so the risk will be reduced and the possibility of profits will be even greater Also you need to fix the profit - I sell 50% when the coin grows 2-3 times.

Hold in any case is very risky, especially when you do not have insider information about the project and its real affairs and plans for the future.
