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

Depends on the coin. If it's a coin that isn't back by usability or isn't the first of its kind, it may run out long term. I feel safer when there's an all time high and I sell 50-100% of that coin rather hodling.

I reinvest that profit into other coins or back into the same coin if it goes back down.

With ADA or TRX, a long term hodl is much safer than some od these saturated privacy coins.

Hold your coins not for years but for a reasonabile time. Check the news and market dynamics, sell your altcoins when there is failure possibilty of the projects.

Be smart, not conservative.

Its true. Dont hold the altcoin which already has fail indication after some period because you will be lose.
Hold not promissing altcoin makes this holding even more dangerous so try to choose from good promissing one with high cap in market.

In the past 3 months, I hold lots of different altcoins and most of them are down pretty bad, I wish I sold them at the top but it's not easy and I got too greedy. If you can't afford to lose money then don't play with alts

Holding altcoin is a good way to make but the major problem altcoin are completely dependent upon bitcoin price. Choosing best altcoin is always a good way to hold because of those coins has a huge chance to increase it's price.

as we know many altcoins from previous years do not have prices now, it's because the developers of the coins have no plans for the future, so before holding altcoin you should know first the potential of altcoin, whether the coin has potential for the future?

Holding altcoins are not dangerous , because its just holding it and there is no illegal that has been doing in holding altcoins. I hold altcoins months now eversince i receive them in an airdrops and in the bounty campaigns that i participated. It is good to hold altcoins because when their price goes high , we can gain more profits feom those altcoins. And we can earn more money through those altcoins that we are holding.

This is an epic question. A lot of  people avoid holding​ alts because they feel that they can get a better ROI from cheaper alts. This is true but you are fully exposed to the wild swings of bitcoin and and other cryptocurrencies, also risk being left in the dust when bitcoin goes full bull and alts start getting dumped. But considering the volatility I think better choose a good alts when you want to hold. You will not hurt as long as you do not sell panic.

if you have altcoin and hold too long may be dangerous because we do not know the future of altcoin, i suggest you should sell coins when your hold time find a good price and higher than your purchase price.

If you ask such a question, study the theory of investing. If you know what you are doing, there is no danger to your assets here.

Depends on how long you are willing to hold and at what time you buy.  If you plan to hold for a year or two before taking profits ... it's pretty safe.  If you plan for short term, you need to make sure you are buying the dip.  Right now, I believe we are near the bottom.  BTC could still drop down to the 4k to 6k range.  However, when you look at the big picture, it's around where it should be ... so are all the alts.

If you have many different altcoins, you have an understanding when you close a position (in profit or loss), then there is nothing dangerous in this. Of course, the research must be done carefully, as described above.

I think 95% of altcoins will die in the future.
 Therefore, we must try to keep track of new technologies and sell obsolete altcoins in time.

Well, holding those altcoins with potential to grow and good support team I think it's not dengerous as you said. Better to search you own altcoins, which is which and better to holding on that make you earn good profit.

Yeah it is a very dangerous game out there, and if you are not careful you will end up with 80-90% losses like I have in the past. It really hurts to take those losses, but it can be mitigated with a few winners.

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.

Depending on the altcoins that you are holding as ripple, eth or ada, you should keep them 1-2 years I think you will have a big profit.

But many altcoins are also removed from the coinmarket cap too often because many coins are losing its value in long run and just getting dear weight coins.Recently bittrex also decided to remove tons of shit coins from their exchange so it means if you are holding a shitcoin too longer then it is dangerous too.
