That is what market shows how Bitcoin is much powerful than altcoins.Indeed there is so many ICO has now being created because they believe in their ICO to be successful.And I think theres still alot of people have faith in long term investment in btc because btc is the main crypto and i believe it will reach its goal.Imagine 21 million usd equivalent to 1 btc.That is why they invest btc for long term.
Exactly, FUDs are there always in the way for blocking the fame of a certain thing. Bitcoin have faced so much FUDs recently and in the whole life of 9 years. But the only main goal should be to be confident. You have to maintain your trust on your coin.

Like you said, when you talk about altcoins and then bitcoins, short term and long term are still in market and they will be going to end.

In the long term, BTC, according to many analysts, is a good investment.

There's gonna be long term investors in BTC but it's prolly less feasible and profitable as time goes on.  The market is volatile and uncertain and who knows how much sense it makes to buy and hold for the long term - is mostly seems to be a matter of opinion.

Getting insane returns buying and holding is going to be tough.  When BTC was $100 it only had to go up a few hundred bucks to quadruple your investment.  Now at over $5000, the price has to go up tens of thousands of dollars to get the same return.

The downside also gets scary real quick but Imma still try to hold for long term,

ETH is the 2nd choice for long term investment
Just always keeps on reading news and updates regarding to this project no questions about the possible rise up of this coin in the near future as there's a lots of room for innovations and more people see the big potential of having a success in this coming year,.
Staying updated with the news will always help with decision making. So many people have made some bad decisions today in their investments as they did not keep themselves up to date to what is happening around their investments. Hence many innovations are coming up every day, so many projects with prospects are being developed and only a matter of time until we see the early investors get the best. BTC will always be good to buy at anytime, whichever way.
Keeping observant eye on the innovations on daily basis is very important for your long term or short term investment because this updated knowledge will surely help you in deciding about your decision. Long term investment is far better for thes investors who are financially safe and sound and are able to wait for long time.

With bitcoin value increasing to new heights every day or week, is long term investment of bitcoin in alts no more? Because with the increase of value in bitcoin, all alts suffer and their value in bitcoin decreases even if they are stable enough to keep their value in dollar sustained.

So all one can earn from such long term trade is a loss in bitcoin.

So, is short term trading alts the only option or even that is too risky for now and holding could be the only option.

And for buying alts, one should use dollar instead of bitcoin.


I agree with your opinion but I still believe with bitcoin, even today many coin comes up. I choose to trade with bitcoin using long time period ( investment mindset ), not altcoin. I believe altcoin only follow bitcoin and never become the best like bitcoin itself. This is the part of risk we must face as investor/ trader and everyone has their own answer and strategy. They can cut loss or replace their money into another instrument. Just do that and good luck.

Greatly depends on how much returns you want, on long term investing big in bitcoin is a good one, short term investing in some good altcoins will give definitely more profit.
We should even stop thinking about the returns but the value. Sure, everyone wants profit in the investment, but we should look at bitcoin beyond just the investment and see the value it brings and how we can tap into it. That is the easiest way it can help us in our decisions about buying at any price and reaping the benefits and holding as well without panicking when the price dips.

I believe bitcoin will definitely have values in million dollars then holding bitcoins as a long term investments is still a meaningful action. We cannot be sure about future but as per expert's speculations bitcoin may hit million dollar value too.

I could not agree more, and there is another problem associated with people that only get into bitcoin for it's price or for the profit it could bring, without actually considering the true value of the coin. If they don't think about it's true value, that should be the real reason for buying the coin and for supporting and as a consequence, making it's price rise, then they won't have any reason to hold or buy more it if the price falls, which would then result in a continued falling of the price. From this point of view, there would be no future for bitcoin.

Even on the best possible scenario, and from the point of view that the price is the real value of BTC and not it's applications and the possibilities it offers, there would still be no future for it. The price would stop increasing some day, so people would start selling, because from their perspective, BTC would have reached it's max value, so it would be time for them to cash out their profit (a typical bubble behavior).

We really need to try to "educate" people about bitcoin, so we can prevent this from happening.

Right. As Bitcoin is constantly increasing, altcoin can not keep up. Altcoins are constantly falling down but looking at Alts / Usd does not change much.
At the moment I'm going to buy altcoin with Bitcoin. And wait Bitcoin down. Then Alts / Btc will increase. I need to increase the amount of Bitcoin.
That is why they are Alts anyway. They cannot always have the best of time and those ones with a good project backing for them that will make them useful in the community will have a longer life at the end, while some will just end up fading off until we forget they ever even existed.

BTC on the other hand is the legacy and will always have an edge but that does not mean if one finds a good project that can really generate interest, one should not invest in them. It is the long term after all.

Everything is good to invest, I trade altcoin only for short-term investments and still will exchange it with bitcoin. bitcoin still needs to be prioritized despite being full of FUDs, ethereum stagnant and often down, I consider it an active asset and only for the purposes of smart contract platform.

I really think there are two diferente angles to look at this. One is pure profit in FIAT. I think the market is hard to beat and it will not be easy to gain more with alts speculation than you do in BTC. Another angle is the technology and market of alt coins and tokens projects. We don´t know wich ones or even if there is any already born but some blockchain projects will be huge. So diversifying and holding participations in such projects will be very good in the future.
That is the point. Market always have been such diversifying and you can’t find any best solution that is stable somehow. But now, for bitcoins and altcoins there are some specific and nonspecific trends from which you can predict to some extent about the future of market. Better is to sustain the whole stamina and invest in both with different portions and wait.

I agree with you, I lose alot of Bitcoin in altcoin trading that paired with BTC because the price of BTC increasing fast. Short term altcoin trading that paired with BTC will be minimize the risk and more safe, and if would like to hold altcoin like ETH  for long term investment for the better use paired ETH/USDT or other fiat currency.

You are absolutely right. Investment on long term is more risky. It has chance to loss capital also. On its opposite way holding which is far better than long term investment. Investment is profitable but everyone should know the right decision of it.

Well, In my humble option, Investing in bitcoin still profitable but never like before. I'm talking about this history:


DateUSD : 1 BTC
April 20111$
11 April 2013$266
Apr 2014$340 — $530
21 October 2017$6180

That was the best time for investment, getting your money x200+, Now let just imagine that bitcoin price goes up to 12000$ and you invested already, so you will get just x2
Leaving comments for you ...

I've lost a lot of bitcoins from holding onto altcoins that I thought would at the very least hang onto their bitcoin values. I'm trading to get more bitcoins, not fiat!

Holding altcoins for the long term has resulted in losses for the far majority of the people, not just you. There have only been a few altcoins that back in the days were good to hold till now, but as I said, that were only a few. Altcoins are only good for short term speculation purposes, where if you try to hold them for the long term, especially at current levels, it can only end bad. But then again, even short term altcoin trading isn't all that profitable -- it's just the luck that you depend on ultimately.

It seems like the best option is a good balance of both short quick trades of altcoins and most of the times holding bitcoins. I've lost a lot of bitcoins from holding onto altcoins that I thought would at the very least hang onto their bitcoin values. I'm trading to get more bitcoins, not fiat!

I don’t really think so that long term investment and that too in case of bitcoin is no more. In fact, bitcoin is very much popular just because it is very suitable option for holding and long term investment. These are all the misconceptions which are just confusing us. The way bitcoin market’s price is increasing with each passing day, I think that it is the best option to do long term investment.
Bitcoin is the coin that we need to invest for long term, because when time come past this crypto currency will multiply their value. When I started in bitcoin community their value was $2500 but now it was double now into $5000 and soon to be $7500. Growth of bitcoin was so fast and no limit so I have no doubt regarding long investment in bitcoin.
