You don't sell all bitcoin but can sell a part of your investment in btc and add some good altcoins in your portfolio. There are many good altcoins as ethereum, dash, monero, waves, ripple and stratis. You can choose 2-3 from them as per your choice and hold them for long term to get decent earnings.

Look ARROUND!
Keep and hold a good portion of your bitcoin. You can allocate 20%-30% on profitable altcoins.
It doesn't make you any less money if you exchange whatever you have right now. You could make more money if you decide on purchasing more fiat though lol.

Naturally you must listen to yourself first, but I won’t sell all Bitcoins to get altcoins. Hold at least 30% of BTC in your wallet and buy alts from the top-10. All together they will give you more profit if you make a long-time investment.

The man wrote a very good piece of advice. I advise you to look at him with your eyes. He is right to say that it's better to fix most of the (60%) in bitcoin, and for the remainder to buy a few altkoins, just think carefully which ones are better. And you did not say how many bitcoins you have, if you have 0.0001 bitcoins, then there's no sense in doing something with it)

Hi Guys,

I am expecting a big pullback with the current rise of BTC to 10.000$ and planning to sell some or switch to ALT.

I have 2 possible options;
- send my BTC to Kraken and sell high, buy in lower (hence the server errors on Kraken at a normal day I expect many difficulties to sell/buy when the market starts to move, so this wouldn't be my top pick)
- switch from BTC to altcoins via Exodus/Shapeshift exchange; spread over 3 or 4 coins (I am thinking 33% LTC, 33% ETH and 33% in another supported coin like DASH or maybe Bitcoin Cash) this would be my favorite play

Which would be your favorite and if you spread coins via Exodus, how would your spread look like in which coins?

Thanks!
I do not recommend swapping the coins in shapeshift because the rate is very low from other than regular exchange

If I had enough money to buy a full BTC coin or even two currencies I would definitely be sure and would leave my money at BITCOIN. I think that opting for safety is better than being in the uncertainty, I have seen many altcoins that broke in a few days and left many people in harm's way.

If you always try to switch from BTC to any alt you will get a loss as for now any investor will not sell his/her bitcoins and move to alts.

the only problem with your strategy is that bitcoin hasn't dipped but in fact the altcoins have dipped more since you made that post on the 28th november. Do you think bitcoin will ever have a dip again, so many new people buying in every day. This has never happened before so it may just continue to rise and not come back down than if you have sold all your bitcoin you run the risk of having to buy back in at a much higher price. If you haven't sold yet i would recommend saving 50% of your bitcoin.

You can wait for bitcoin's value to go lower if you already sold yours then buy it again or you could just invest on some altcoins like ethereum.

I'm expecting a near pullback too. You can buy tether and sell for bitcoin when the price is lower.

Trading in between coins and selling OTC trades to earn profit seems really good and favorable to take an advantage from.
Do not invest in BC or DASH hence these coins are more controlled than ETH, LTC or BTC.

Neither...why not just hold it until it doubles up again. It went from $1800 to $10,800 in about 6 months. What do you think is going to happen in another 6 months? Just hold on to it. When it doubles in price, sell half your coins and profit like that. Wait for it to double again, sell half..etc. I would say to only do this if you REALLY need the money, or are VERY scared of the internet or crypto crashing. Otherwise JUST HOLD.

It's a good idea when Bitcoin is high to invest in some promising alt coins and then sell those alt coins when Bitcoin has gone down from the original value that you investing in the alt coins. But these days it's much harder to predict the market has people have been predicting a price correction for a very long time and bitcoin continues to rise.

Sell them high buy them low is our motto as investors. The bitcoin now went down a little below 11,000. I'm looking at a good increase in the future. The btc is going up, not down. So if you wanna ride with the wave then just hold your btc. Or if you really wanna break it down, you don't have to transfer it all to alts. You can just get a portion of your btc and invest in eth. It is the alt that has so much potential now.

Just as investor you should understand the importance of diversifying. So it's the most right thing that you can do imo. I'd like to advice to do one more small portfolio with high risked assets. It could bring a lot of earnings in a long term.

Well if you picked dash you wouldve seen some gains during the sell off of bitcoins. As you had seen almost everything, well everything else including bitcoin has dropped by alot. If you had all dash, you probably seen it was the only coin standing and going up in price while everything else fell hard.. theres a recovery in the market now and it ooking pretty solid and stable. During these times its good to transfer all your assets into usdt, wait till the blood shed is over and buy backin on dips or when the market is stable again

Ok, that is a nice project. But If I were you, I wont switch BTC to altcoin. Because Bitcoin is rising up so much, I will get big profit in the future

In the long-term perspective, I do not think that bitkoyn will drop in price. On the contrary, everyone expects its further growth. Therefore, it does not make sense to sell it. However, it will be reasonable to partially translate funds into promising altas, including bitcoin in cash. I think that in the near future it will be quite promising for making a profit.

Make your conversion into several stable altcoins. Buy Ethereum, DASH and Ripple. Choose the smaller alts like Vertcoin. However, I think you should keep at least 30% of your BTC in your wallet, friend.
