With more blood in the crypto markets today, I thought it would be worth exploring whether now is the time to be investing in Bitcoin VS other altcoins.
Let me know what you think!

I think, maybe to have both btc and altcoins. Yes btc nowadays is like a jerk jumping up & down but the thing is, most of the altcoins were just dependent on btc's performance on the market. As you notice, when btc drops - there will be a bloodbath in the market of at least 90% of altcoins plunges down. But when btc rises then eveeything follows.
So i think, better to have both btc and some selected altcoins. What do yah think?

I prefer buy some alts as Neo, Wanchain, Cardano, Icx or Ethos because i find a better probabilty to make a 3x with them that bitcoin does a 3x. Regards

I have learned the importance of Bitcoin the hard way. Here is what I am targeting for my next bull run:
Alt coins have always been a risky business but we assume that bad won't happen to us until it actually happens. So I am keeping my ears to the ground this time and consolidate like crazy. In any case I am leaning towards Bitcoin, EOS and Ethereum.

A great point out here to ponder on, but, I guess I'm just to familiar with bitcoin and I know is just a worthwhile coin to invest on now once is a known coin from onset compare to altcoins and some other coins. But I still want to conclude by saying it all depends on the risk level.

It’s definitely great to be diversified, but you made a point. At the end most of altcoins won’t survive. That’s why we should be invested at some point in bitcoin, ETH or other safer coins with more history. I do believe as well now is a very good time to add to your portfolio. Definitely much better than it was at the top. When it comes to altcoins giving better ROI based on history one thing I’ve learned from any markets. It’s unpredictable! Just because it happened, doesn’t mean it repeats itself again. You mentioned ETF’s coming to stock market. That’s right, I even heard Coinbase will launch their ETF as well.

You're right, this is where intelligent people takes action whether or not they want invest, but the truth is these reds in the market Iscariot chance being offered by people on a gold platter. Bitcoin and STEEM will always remains potentials for the future.
The panick though hasn't given people THW foresight to see right through, but if bitcoin was always high and never dipped, then how can people ever invest? A wise man's thinking.

I believe institutional investors are eager to invest in crypto. I also believe they are waiting for weak hands to finaly give up. Investing in altcoins could be very profitable, even more than investing in bitcoin itself, but don’t forget about the volatility it brings. Most investors sell before it actually starts being profitable just because of its volatility. As you mentioned, it’s all about where your mind is set. If you thing long therm, you should be fine. But if you thing at the moment you make a purchase it must start making profits immediately and instead it turns against you, in most cases you panic and eventually sell for loss. That’s what we are seing now. Disappointed short therm investors are selling.

I’m confident bitcoin will do very well in time, but I also have many other coins as well it’s still early days for crypto currency’s, but I still love my metals which as you know have thousands of years of history behind them and in my Opinion will be the only real form of money. Cheers mike

Bitcoin is now quite high and its first-generation Blockchain will probably be surpassed in a few years by crypto currencies Blockchains more advanced and offering something other than a simple currency: Ethereum with its smart contracts for example or Ripple whose Technology aims to replace the SWIFT interbank payment system. The best opportunities are now on the Altcoins and it is important to study the cases of uses targeted by some cryptos to achieve the best possible investments.

IMHO bear market + volatility is a bad combination from an investing standpoint. I think we have not seen the end of the "altcoin correction" by a long shot for the following reasons
1/ While there is an argument for investing in altcoins in a bull market to leverage volatility this does not apply in a bear market.
2/ Technological advances such as Layer2 solutions will invalidate the use cases of many altcoins
3/ Many altcoins are pure "vapour ware", will not deliver their roadmaps and will go to zero. When this happens there will be a flight out of altcoins
4/ There is still a not insignificant threat that future regulation will damage the altcoin space
For these reasons I think BTC and other top ten cryptos are by far the safer bet.

i truly agree with you on this, having a good percentage of btc is really important because it's the most trustable coin in the blockchain world, but also around 40-60 % (depending on one's risk factor) must be into altcoins whose project they find really worth investing, because all of us are here to earn some good ROI right ?! :)

I think that not only Bitcoin will outperform but most of the larger, established coins will do as well. They will benefit as more projects fail and the ICO market starts to dry up because of regulatory concerns and the bear market.

Price fluctuations for BTC and ETH compared with alt coins you want to purchase MIGHT occasionally allow for a brief chance to take advantage of a price difference (arbitrage) but usually there isn't much of an advantage to using any currency to buy alt coins.
Usually the rapid AI arbitrage programs close opportunities before the average trader can catch them. And if you're buying to hold long term, the tiny differences won't matter.

Agree with minority stake in a favorite altcoin or two and majority in BTC. If BTC fails then all of the current ones will as well.

I totally agree with you!
Altcoins you are talking about are reached to surface and now they have a greater chance to go up. on the other hand, bitcoin is still handing in the air and it's not reached surface yet, it can go further down!
Thank you for kind review sir @louisthomas
