There are people that find investing in alt very attractive from profit point of view, believing that the value of particular coin will increase so so much. It's easier to imagine that something with the price of 0.3 dollars goes on, I don't know, 500 dollars for example, than to see how bitcoin climb on fifty thousand dollars. Maybe it is the best decision to invest in bitcoin but there will always be people with different vision, especially if there is wide offer to choose.
Although it is always good to buy bitcoin and specially in such a low price but I think that there are so many other altcoin which are trading in low price but still they have good potential so low investors can also keep and hold such coins which have good potential. I think that Etherium price is also trading low and even if a person will hold Etherium they can also get good profit from there.

selling ethereum and all altcoins just to buy bitcoin? you know altcoins are more profitable than bitcoin, if bitcoin increase x2 then some altcoins will increase x3 or more, but it's up to you if you want to sell them and buy bitcoin

It may be a right idea after all

And still more so if we haven't yet seen the real lows. The point is altcoins are falling much stronger and it is not given or set in stone that when we start to rise again (or rather, if we start to rise again), altcoins are going to follow Bitcoin's lead. Personally, I'm certain only of Litecoin's imminent success as it will likely even outperform Bitcoin, while the rest of the pack will be slowly grinding behind, if at all
but to be able to get multiple profits in altcoin you need to be able to know the altcoin that can potentially increase prices, whereas if you already have ethereum and several altcoins but don't have bitcoin then wait until the bitcoin price can really go up and wait for the altcoin price also follows the price movements of bitcoin. after the price rises and becomes expensive you can sell it

Did you read my post?

I have specifically mentioned Litecoin as one (probably the only one) altcoin worth investing in. If you had looked at the date of my post, you would have noticed that it was written a little over a week ago, and a few days after Litecoin rose like 40% or so in just two days. But even before that, around a month ago in this thread I was telling folks that Litecoin seems to be the most promising altcoin at this point (as far as the term "promising" is applicable to this market)

How bitcoin rise  to 19600 usd per btc , last year?Did not you hear screams that bitcoin is the only legit investement and BTC Dominance
People must stop investing in eth and other coins , all funds of icos or coins of future must be turned into bitcoin
eth Is the head of all coins
what is the Beneficial from Curse coins ? who accept it?
If we take money  of icos and And invest in bitcoin Imagine!!!!!Must be maturity in the minds of traders
The currency of internet is bitcoin only
i think etf must approved for bitcoin only and soon
bitcoin does not need etf or bakkt for go up
etf and bakkt is a way for crashing prices of bitcoin


I dont know why youre so mad at ETH and other altcoins considering ETH is the strongest altcoin recorded now and labeling it as cursed coins. Putting your resources into different markets is the best way to expand your profit. You should put some on altcoins too. I know there are many scams, but the top 10 altcoins isnt part of it. You should realize it before its too late to invest.
and in my opinion you shouldn't use just one investment right? more over Ethereum is a good and profitable coin to diversify?
sell coins that if it's the right time to sell, but don't use all the funds just to buy bitcoin

lately, I also think that it's better to hold in the form of bitcoin compared to the altcoin for now. however, I am still thinking about the right steps to arrive at that stage. Seeing the progress of the altcoin going up is quite high, making me think of selling the altcoin that I have at a high price and exchanging it for bitcoin.

We can not say that Bitcoin is the only true coin, and that only it has the right to exist. It will be the same as calling the dollar the only currency on the planet. There are a huge number of other cryptocurrencies that are unique and useful in their own way. They all have the right to exist

The right to exist is proven in competition

It is not like it is granted by default to every coin after it is created. So far the only utility (uniqueness and being useful in their own way) that the majority of coins revealed was usefulness for speculation. But since you can short only a selected list of altcoins, this usefulness disappeared as soon as the market had started crashing. They may brag about anything, but the market evidently knows better

You cannot be surprised if people are mad at ETH as many people have lost their money with the scam projects being started using the platform and since majority of the scams are using the platform to carry out their business the reputation of the coin changes with it. I really do not consider it is a currency, every one can have their take on the subject. Some of the interesting projects are TRON which has the potential but yet a penny stock, the rest of the coins are priced a lot higher to accumulate in large numbers. When ever the price of bitcoin goes down it is always a good time to enter for the long hold.

If you not yet sold a majority of your coins by now, then I think you have to hodl and wait for the next round of a bullish trend because you will gain nothing in selling or buying coins now. The time experts were advising people to sell was like some kind f joke and those who took the advice seriously, are enjoying their profits.

the first thing you should look at is the condition of coin prices such as ethereum, bitcoin and some other coins because if you sell assets that you have at a low price maybe it will only make you lose, you have to be patient and don't sell your assets too cheaply.

So when we are answering this question we need to also ask do we think bitcoin will go down or go up. If we think bitcoin will go up then most likely answer is to keep the altcoins because when going up altcoins go up faster whereas bitcoin goes up slower so there is no point on keeping the money on bitcoin

That's not a given

Obviously, for the majority of altcoins it was a one way ticket to the graveyard, so whether Bitcoin rises or falls, they are going to die anyway. But it is not only them as even top altcoins are unlikely to outperform Bitcoin long term. How come? If Bitcoin is set to rise in the future (which is not a given, either, just in case), most likely it will be due to its real value expanding (as opposed to purely speculative value). But in these circumstances we shouldn't really expect altcoins to rise as much as Bitcoin (let alone outperform it)

This system works amazingly when things are going low. Think about it, check out all coins that dropped in the past year and check out bitcoin, bitcoin is really the only coin that went down this much, all others went down a lot.

So when we are answering this question we need to also ask do we think bitcoin will go down or go up. If we think bitcoin will go up then most likely answer is to keep the altcoins because when going up altcoins go up faster whereas bitcoin goes up slower so there is no point on keeping the money on bitcoin.

However, if we think bitcoin will go down then its best to sell all and keep your money in bitcoin since it doesn't go down as much as other coins. Look at when OP asked this question, the price was around 3700 bitcoin which means even tough it went down, it didn't went down too much so it wouldn't make any difference but even with that unless you are holding ethereum it was still a good decision to keep it at bitcoin.

yes, this makes sense. but, basically bitcoin also has advantages behind it all. well, sometimes some altcoins can become unstable, and not forever if the altcoin price can go up to 3x compared to bitcoin, because it all depends on the project. however, it all depends on you, because altcoin and bitcoin have their advantages. for now, I save both.

IT needs to be only your decision, but remember that it is better to buy BTC at these levels rather than even on 6,XkUSD or ETH on 300+USD.

I would continue to hold btc, Eth and few other coins so that have the mix of everything and this also diversify my portfolio which will help me in the new future as I will not be depended on just one single coin. Also as it is said that do not put all you eggs under one basket.

ETH is a good coin but these days we will see fud that ETH is a failure and we should sell it. This is because the whales want us to sell the ETH at lower prices and they will buy at these cheap prices. Remember ETH has a hardfork on 25 Feb, so it's price can pump near the hard fork.
Also a lot of token runs on ETH chain and therefore it makes it a very useful coin.

i thought eth fork had already been cancelled ? you did said that eth will pump after the hardfork but why you are suggesting that we should sell our eth's ?  i agree that whenever theres a fork , the price of a coin can also pump but you we should act fast because the pump cannot last a long time due to sellers will also sold thier hodlings to be able to gain a profit just like you  .

you also said that eth is a useful coin on which i also agree with it because i can also see and feel it . we must not dispose our eth with that said no matter what happen .  if we want to buy other coins , then use other cryptos or use fiat to buy  them  . basic

And that will be another good day to short it

In this market on these days it doesn't really matter if a coin is good or bad as people like you (no offense intended) who earnestly believe in some cryptocurrency (like Ethereum or whatever) have become a source for sucking money from. In fact, if a coin is good, all the worse for it. You can't win this game as your coins are fueling further market manipulation which will leave you penniless in the end. It is pretty much like a casino, the longer you play the stronger the casino becomes with your money and so do market manipulators (let's call them sharks)

No just hold your ethereum and altcoins. You can buy bitcoin without selling your altcoins . There is solution for that or other better way if you have extra money you can buy bitcoin and you will earn more because you have bitcoin and altcoins.

Only people who have a lot of fiat can buy bitcoin with new money but since most people are not that wealthy and are stuck in altcoins which they have bought quite expensive in the last bull run. I still do not think that this is time for selling and going in for bitcoin as BTC position is not good currency and it is testing support again and again.
Still they have time for doing it,you can convert your coins into bitcoin and wait for the next bull run to happen it will still increase the bitcoin to much new high level which can give profits in terms of USD or other fiat but if the altcoins didn't worth any then its already dead.

It must be organized? What is this, Marxism–Leninism?

Ordnung uber alles

Selling your ethereum for investing or buying bitcoin is one of the worst idea ever. As you can many people tend to buy now ethereum simply because of its new update that will happen in this month and one of the reason why they keep on buying ethereum is the new update of ethereum might be the reason to spike the price in the market

Things are known to go wrong with Ethereum

As it happened before, it may happen again, a lifehack of sorts. Yesterday I tried to install Ethereum Wallet from Ethereum developers and it gave me a lot of pain in the ass. I couldn't even import an existing private key into it, wtf. So that thing about coming update should be scary for long-term Ethereum users given the shitty quality of the software Ethereum developers produce. The bottom line is that it may in fact be a good idea to sell your ethereums and buy some bitcoins before this upgrade proves to be consistent and bugfree

People invest in altcoins with expectation that the price will jump and they will cash out their money at the moment and get good income from that. The points are only which coin and when the jump is going to be.

Of course you are right, Crypto is still not used in a proper way like making transactions and buying stuffs. This is not happening in a regular basis and the main reason I do feel is most of the government is not in the favor of this which causes them a stir. Else the demand will be more for BTC.

There are some coins that I am still hold and I will still sell my bitcoin for them. Bitcoin is making some progress in price but it will not make much profits like those coins that has good intentions and high market capitalization.
I also witness this one since the market are quiet huge now with bitcoin and its not that profitable because of the small pump. So if you are holding a good altcoins better to stay on hold and don’t just put it on one place. Bitcoin is good, but there is also some altcoins that can be more profitable.

Right. Btc's been moving quite against where i'd want it to be and i don't think it's good to go all in at this point. Like trx right now. It's making considrable noise and has made good profits already for me.

it is never too late to right a wrong!

everybody makes mistakes but only those who learn from those mistakes are going to end up being successful. in this case only bag holders who stopped wasting their time hanging on to a dumping altcoin are going to be able to recover the big losses they have sustained over the past year due to being on the wrong side of the altcoin pump and dump scheme.

Ethereum is still looking like a good place to put your money into if you ask me. I mean hard fork increased the price a lot but we are still way below the 200 dollar levels it once stayed, if you believe bull is coming and bitcoin price will be going up than you must see that ethereum price will go up as well. If you think bitcoin is not going up than no point on switching back to it neither.

Moreover, if we consider the fact that while bitcoin was 6.5 thousand dollars the price of ethereum was 200 dollars, and right now price of bitcoin is about 4 thousand dollars (with 50%+ more to go for 6.5 thousand dollars) and ethereum price is around 150-160 levels than we can say if bitcoin can go back to 6.5 thousand dollar levels price of ethereum could be 300+ dollars easily instead of 200 like it used to be. I would say instead of a 50% gain from bitcoin it is better to gain x2 with ethereum.

It seems like you wrote a poem

crypto must be organized

I think you meant "bitcoin should be legalized"

bitcoin must be separated from eth and all coins


It should not be separated, why?

Look, satoshi created bitcoin for its reasons, but other people can also have their own reasons to create their altcoins, the point is that people must create altcoins that have a good purpose and that is used in the real world because it will do good to the world crypto. But what we see is that many altcoins do not leave the internet and are dependent on bitcoin

ico's Is the biggest fraud in Cryptocurrencies

Honestly, I do not understand how it is possible that many projects want to raise more than $ 100 million to create nonsense things and even being nonsense people have to invest in these nonsense ICOs.

How bitcoin rise  to 19600 usd per btc , last year?

Many people (including me) thought that the "experts" were right and bitcoin would rise to levels of $60,000 or more, so people bought too much bitcoin, after the Future Launch, people realized that there was no coming the lot of institutional money and people started the sale and that sale brought losses to many people and those same people sold with losses and left the crypto world. I did not even expect that someday I would see the price drop below $10,000

bingo. ethereum already dropped 80% against bitcoin and 94% against the dollar. some altcoins have bled out considerably worse than that, if you can believe it.

advising people to sell alt/BTC markets this late into the bear market is a lot like advising them to sell BTC/fiat. if you're desperate to preserve fiat value, go ahead and sell because we might grind lower. but there's a decent chance you'll be selling near the bottom and will never get the opportunity to get all your coins back.

God only knows what bitcoin would be worth today had the shitcoin holocaust not happened. Ethereum did unrepairable damage to crypto when the token ICOs flooded the scene. Everyone and their dogs were buying these stupid get rich quick tokens.

You want bitcoin to go up? Simple. Quit buying shitcoins. Buy btc and hodl.
This will not happen, people know the potential of bitcoin but they are not as willing to invest in it because they understand that it is more difficult for it to go through the explosive growth it went through years ago, so everyone is looking for the next bitcoin, even if you know that will never happen, as long as people believe that is a possibility then coins that do not bring anything to the market will keep on existing.

No just hold your ethereum and altcoins. You can buy bitcoin without selling your altcoins . There is solution for that or other better way if you have extra money you can buy bitcoin and you will earn more because you have bitcoin and altcoins.
There is even a better 'solution'; dump your altcoins, buy Bitcoin, long or short whatever Bitmex allows you to long or short, and your profits will be paid out in Bitcoin.

honestly, i wouldn't sell anything at this point---bitcoins or altcoins. anyone who waited this long has already seen the worst of it. selling now might not be the absolute bottom but it's highly likely you'll lose coins if you plan buy back (or miss the trade if you don't).

i prefer long term holds that i can "set and forget". i can't tell you how many coins i'd nearly forgot about that doubled, 10x'd or better. you won't get that trading on bitmex because you're paying swap interest or holding limited duration contracts, and you basically only have access to markets for the very top coins. my biggest gains in altcoins have always come from low caps that would never trade on bitmex until after most of the gains are gone.

i occasionally trade the pink sheets, particularly pot stocks, for the same reason.

Ethereum doubled in value from its lowest point. If you convert to Ethereum right now you are basically fomo buying around what could very well turn out to be near the peak. The main reason for the increase is that the price catched up to where the cut in block rewards is calculated in right now. People have had enough time to enter below $100 not that long ago, so accept being too late.

No just hold your ethereum and altcoins. You can buy bitcoin without selling your altcoins . There is solution for that or other better way if you have extra money you can buy bitcoin and you will earn more because you have bitcoin and altcoins.

what if he doesnt have any cash and he only got eth & alts on his wallet ? I bet it is safe to sell them and switch it all for btc because btc is more valueable than any other cryptos but if he loves his alts & eth and he doesnt wanted to sacrifies it just to obtain a btc , he can also work on this forum on sig campaigns or bounty campaigns  .  other online jobs like free lancing or faucets can also earn him a crypto  .

true but as long as there is profit (or in this case hope of making a profit even if it is mostly loss) they won't stop their fraudulent activities because people will continue to fall for it with that hope.

you can not dictate what other people do with their money. it is a free market and they invest their money in anything they want, in most cases they throw it away but it is still their choice. not to mention that pump and dump altcoins such as ETH are always super profitable during their pumps and super destructive during their dumps.
so i guess a better suggestion would be to be wise and only trade them to make the profit.

i think etf must approved for bitcoin only and soon
why? SEC has given no indication of changing their mind. and why would you even care about it?!!

Mentioning ETF well I believe it is a quite important decision actually, many think it will be accepted eventually. So I think short term investors should definitely care about this decision. It could happen in two months from now, and we could see a big pump after that.

Agree with the rest of your post, Bitcoin was never linked with Ethereum in any way, just some insiders taking advantage of Bitcoin to issue forked coins (Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, etc) to get free money out of it.

i didn't mean to say ETF's approval is meaningless. i was trying to say that the expectation is that it will be rejected. of course there is still a possibility of it being approved by the SEC but the chance of that happening is very small, something like 5% if i am generous which means it won't change anything in the market prior to the decision because people expect denial, afterwards if it is denied then nobody would care because again they were expecting it and if it is accepted then there will be a big rally because it would come as a surprise.

From onset the two outstanding Cryptos are bitcoin and ethereum others are just shitcoins and not popular, in fact it will take a very long time for a layman in the street to even know that there exist thousands of cryptocurrencies apart from bitcoin, even Google can testify to the fact people seek more information on btc than any other Cryptos therefore I agreed with OP for us to invest more on bitcoin.

Bitcoin is already seperated with other altcoins and still on the number one spot. The growing number of altcoins is that, we are in a great competition where everyone wants to compete and provide good service. Investors will know where to put their money, if its in ICO its their choice, but bitcoin will still rise no matter what the situation is.

It's a little more nuanced than that. You're only thinking about the bear market cycle. The dynamic you're talking about actually pushes Bitcoin's price up during bull markets. During the 2017 bull market, people were buying BTC and ETH left and right so they could invest in ICO tokens. Altcoin speculation definitely increased demand for BTC and helped push its price higher than it otherwise would have gone.

Where would Bitcoin's price be if not for altcoin investors scooping BTC supply off the market? I'm guessing it would be lower than now.

I somewhat agree. Sadly, it was a short term phenomenon which did more harm than good regarding the big picture.

it looks like that now since we're so deep into the bear market, but money has been flowing back and forth between bitcoin and altcoins for years now, ever since litecoin started trading. 2017 just happened to be the biggest altcoin cycle yet. there's no doubt in my mind there will be another altcoin mania within another bitcoin bubble.

the only harm done is to the speculators looking to get rich quick. if they can't hold through a bear market (or trade their way through it), that's their problem.

Shitcoins and failed projects ruin the reputation of bitcoin, and I think this is not because of ETH but its more on the greed of the developer because they took advantage in the market that makes them more rich. We cannot blame them, they just know how to make a good money through cryptocurrency. Buying bitcoin can be a good decision, but just keep on holding with your ETH because its price will go higher.

don't just have to focus on bitcoin, but you can also invest in large altcoins like EOS and ETH. The Altcoin also has potential that is not inferior to Bitcoin.
More stable coins that have a potential and profitable in trading is on the top listed coins in CMC according to their market cap. It is better to invest in more than one coin than a single one because when times start to get nasty on your invested coins you will be crying to see to the other traders because they were the one who is gaining profit while you are in control of selling your coin.
Yeah, I’d rather to hold more coins than to focus on bitcoin because first its risky, and when it comes to invesment you should know how to diversify your money and that can minimize the risk. Sold your shitcoins and buy more of the top coins not just bitcoin but also with the altcoins that is bigger than what you think. The price of bitcoin is cheap but there’s no need for you to do all in.

You can take profit now with ETH, but you must analyze first the market before making any moves. Its too risky to do all in investing because no matter how big bitcoin is, its price will still dump so don’t make any big expectation and do investing that is in favor to you. If you think your altcoins can’t give good profit, then its time for you to take more risk and invest with bitcoin.

It depends on what you expect from bitcoin.

If you think that bitcoin will be capable of outpacing the other coins on growing and increasing in price than it is a great idea. However if you think there is a chance altcoins outperform bitcoin (historically quite possible) than it wouldn't make any sense.

When bitcoin goes down some of the other coins go down even faster, like bitcoin goes down 5% while ethereum goes down 15% or that type stuff however when the bitcoin price goes up than the altcoins go up faster like bitcoin goes up 5% while ethereum goes up 15% at the same time. It means if you trust that bitcoin will go up, buy something else like ethereum, if you think bitcoin will go down than keep your money at bitcoin no matter what. That is a valid strategy even whales use daily.

et is a very potential type of altcoin, although in recent months ethereum has experienced a very sharp decline but in early 2019 ethereum again showed its existence as the king of altcoin and returned to second place after the king of cryptocurrency (Bitcoin)
therefore, ethereum has good potential to be used as a long-term investment asset

Ethereum has come down the value from its peak value. With cryptocurrency it isn't possible to give a perfect growth schedule. It gradually bumps and dumps based on the market circulation. People who got the ability to hold for a longer time period will profit out of ethereum as well other cryptocurrencies. In particular whenever there is growth in bitcoin, ethereum too grows.

That is probably the main difference between those that become successful in this market as investors and the majority of people, you have very clear reasons why you invest in ethereum and probably other coins, while the majority invest their money based only on their feelings or what they read in social media, they do not want to use their judgment because to do that you will need to learn about the subject and that requires time and effort, something the majority do not want to invest.

It's good if more people think of investing in Bitcoin, but Bitcoin isn't the only coin that can make profit, in this bear market it's a great idea to buy more strong coin like BTC, eth or xrp,if we can support more on Bitcoin then the outcome will be better but some investors prefer to diversify and try their luck on ICO, because sometimes ICO could give them a lot of profit more than they invest in bitcoin

Also worth buying some XRP (personal opinion, not an advice in any way).
Why would people do that? Mind explaining?

I have nothing against you personally, but XRP has by far the worst "community" behind it. Shills are rehashing the same nonsense hashtags on every social media platform for like a year and it seems to get only worse.

The same goes up for Cardano. If you look at which 'top altcoins' have lost most of their value, then it's both XRP and Cardano. In other words, it's a desperate attempt to get rid of their bags.

XRP doesn't contribute to what makes crypto popular to begin with, and I don't see why the SEC wouldn't classify it as a security. It drives on what Ripple (the main company) does and reacts to nearly everything. It is a security.

Is it time to sell Ethereum & all coins , and buy Bitcoin

It's always time to dump crap and buy Bitcoin.

Historically altcoins have performed like leveraged Bitcoin, so they could have been used to generate massive profits. The key is to not become a fanboy and only view them as tools.

This pattern still hold today, but it can't hold forever - there's no place in this world for thousands of coins, and altcoins keep failing to find users who'd adopt them for their unique features like, for example, smart contracts. So, now might be a good time to start seriously thinking about dumping alts.

I have not much faith in ETH. From my experience in the stock market, when you think a stock has hit the bottom, sometimes it is still possible to dig even deeper and lower. So I would be careful with ETH, in my opinion it will either die or go back up but I won't risk any further penny in it.

Bitcoin has a strong base. It has big supporters, it has publicity, support in countries such as Japan, Singapore.

Also worth buying some XRP (personal opinion, not an advice in any way).

I really don't think that people should sell all their coins now, there are still a lot of promising projects, and the coins should value more over time. I also think you are right that people should buy bitcoin, but if possible buy it from other sources and sell only coins that they think will never grow and may fall after time. Next year i think the bitcoin will value over 30,000$ so will be a good investment.

The only reason people buy and hold altcoins is because they are jealous at bitcoin early investors and want to feel what they felt by buying "the next bitcoin" and hope it goes as high as bitcoin goes.

The sooner they understand this is physically impossible and just isn't going to happen because none of the existing coins deliver a fundamental improvement in technology enough to replace bitcoin, and understand the fact that the chances that a new technology that supersedes bitcoin in every way isn't going to happen in our lifetimes, they will dump altcoins and go all in on bitcoin.

It's ok to speculate a little bit with alts, but the people going around telling that their shitcoin will replace bitcoin are straight scammers and they will pay.

In an ideal world people wouldn't mess around with shitcoins, but we're not living in an ideal world. On top of that, exchanges are incentivized to promote them, which automatically makes people more interested in them, because they want to buy the next Bitcoin or Etherem.

By the time Bitcoin goes up, altcoins go up harder and people know that. We're seeing already that people slowly but surely position themselves in altcoins to ride the market up. It's just the way it is. I stopped caring about it, and so should others do. If they want to gamble on altcoins, so be it, let them burn through their money.

Another point is that most of the average joes have a bias towards diversification, so there you have another reason why people won't get rid of altcoins.

It's all about greed. A lot of the cryptocurrency market is based in speculative greed. People want to be early adopters because they want to get rich.
