Serious discussion please.

Obviously some alts can have significantly bigger gains than bitcoin when it comes to long term and bull runs, the last bull run from 6k to 10k for example, sure bitcoin was strong, almost a 2x but some of the top alt coins did more than a 2x even 3x. However that's only long term.

Short term I don't see any reason to trade anything other than bitcoin, especially knowing how little volume some of the other coins have, even top 10 alt coins, for example stellar only has 33m volume. So my question is, what's the point of trading stellar, for example, instead of bitcoin? You know that even if you are a whale and trade a lot, you wont be moving the market as much, if you have 1m and you trade stellar, that's already huge and we all know the 33m volume is probably not even real, a lot of it from bots trading.

It's also much easier to follow bitcoin because, well, the whole market follows bitcoin. Bitcoin dictates where the market goes.
my opinion is if a person doing a trading he will need the money every day on the profit also was important for him so he need to day trade every time and get the profit again and again then only the income is convenient at the end in a month so I think it depends on every person who are in different situation.

There's a whole lot of reasons as why you shouldn't day trade btc. Bigger volume but less movement compared to other alts.  Before btc moved up by almost 1k yesterday, it was moving sleepily sideways. Not really the perfect situation if you're going to day trade since your entry point would almost be the same as your selling point. It would be such a waste of time.

All depends on the needs and what is needed, I do two trading options and what I do by trading bitcoin for the long term and trading weekly with altcoins like Ethereum or other coins depending on the market situation.
but it doesn't depend on what is planned and what I do is when I think it's profitable I will sell it because I need a short income to meet my needs from weekly trading and bitcoin trading just to get big profits and everything returns to the market situation, strategy people vary depending on their expertise and needs.

When comes to day trade it will need a cute investment and huge profit in quick period of time so it can be given from the Bitcoin only because The Other investment will not be probably a good investment in the day trading option.
What do you mean by "Cute" investment? Grin

I can make out what you mean by huge profit in a quick period of time - but honestly this does not happen in reality much frequently. Trading is not that simple that you just come in make some quick huge cash and get out safely. It has a lot of hurdles and seems like you are not aware of those yet. You concept of dividing money into long term trading and day trading is good but most people perfer to do one of the two although its not uncommon to get both.

If you are a beginner, then you do not need to trade anything except bitcoin. Experienced traders can determine the perspective of some coins and make trades with them because some altcoins look quite interesting in the long or medium term.
There are good markets which have huge volume such as usdt and ETH which have a lot of pair in altcoins. I think it's good not to just stay in the market specially during bear market.
iit's true that besides trading Bitcoin I also trade ethereum and other atcoins because it's good enough to get results other than bitcoin and the results also promise if in my opinion

Pumps and getting 100x-1000x possible profits is the main thing why most people do put money into these projects.Only a few do trust up on them when
it comes to longer prospects.
Again the problem with majority of crypto-enthusiasts is that they look for the easy profit and not the long term effects of a certain token in the crypto ecosystem or is that token actually having an effect in the system or it is just a money grab? Being less experienced about investing they tend to mistake these things quite largely.

because not all tokens do pump.
Hate to say this but several coins end up being pumps and dumps if not continuously but transiently they are like that. We have tried to keep away from such coins and I hope the new players entering the market will do so in future too.

Yes, we need to stay out of  trading during bear market, but when it comes to long-term investment, bear market is the best for any investor to stay in the market and for trading, we have lots of trader that are also taking advantage of the bear market because it is this period that a lot of shitcoins  gets pumped and dumped, and some pumping can go as high as giving 1500% profit within a very short time than long-term holding would do, but I am still not against the opinion of those who does not have the mind to do so to stay out of the market completely.

Playing with shitcoins in a bear market is like gambling and a trade of luck.

Bitcoin, although it determines the movement of the market, but not completely, you can see for yourself now, when cryptocurrencies with small capitalization during the week can give 100-200% profit!

I have traded many altcoins so far and I can tell you it is easier to manipulate and control the altcoins with little amount of capital. I have made over a thousand dollars in the past 3 weeks just from a single coin because I knew what the range for that coin was and I just bought from bottom I can and sold from highest I can and it moved between those numbers 4 or 5 times already.

You can't really do that with bitcoin, I mean you can try and there are certainly people who have done it already but I do not think that is easy, it requires a lot of capital and a lot of power to pull off, however on altcoins it is quite easy to achieve. That's why people trade altcoins daily, because they can, everyone finds a corner of the market they feel comfortable with and play there.
The challenge I usually have with altcoins is that it is very difficult to tell when it has bottom,  especially when it is a coin you didn’t follow up on from the ICO, if it is one that you bumped into while deciding on which altcoins to invest in, it is quite very difficult, what I just do now that has been working for me is to look out for new ICOS and invest in them when they are just entering an exchange,  though I still do study the project carefully before doing that, at least I know most of ICO that enters exchanges newly will eventually get a pump in price before crashing.

I really depend on what you are looking for. If you are looking for profit purely in cryptocurrency, you could also think about ethereum in this regard. Bitcoin is often slow and day trading in Bitcoin could not be very profitable.

I think that Bitcoin is more profitable in long term hodl and which in other words mean long term trading in Bitcoin is more profitable than day trading in bitcoins and since you are looking for profits, better keep an eye on the traditional market opportunities that are often very profitable.

Diversifying your trade is your only chance to survive the falling market if you look at it diligently i think and your style of trading actually matters if you have adequate knowledge in the coin then is normal to make your trade so trading any coin is determining its value either short term or long term

Just because an altcoin looks interesting does not mean its worth putting your money in. Where does the interest come from? Take every whitepaper and roadmap prepared with a large punch of salt (LOL).

Not only are they always misleading into investors trusting them but they will change them from time to time for their own benefit or delay releases just for the sake of it. If interest is coming from the price pump be very careful what coin you are jumping into because transient pump and dump are normally happening in every coin and they might wash you down during the dump.

Personally, I trade other coins besides bitcoin. The reason you yourself voiced. This is what altcoins can do a lot more x's than bitcoin. For those who do not have a large amount money it will be a good solution.

My reason because i only have a small capital, then better to trade an Altenative Currency. Bitcoin and other major coin already make a high roi from their ICO. so using Alt for trading was the best option for me.
