Title: BTC: a tool to protect the psychology of crypto investors?
Post by: KryptoBull on January 05, 2025, 08:14:08 AM
When I first joined the crypto market in 2017, I used to look down on BTC because every new project criticized BTC's technological weaknesses and backwardness: the maximum speed is only 3-7 tps, completely insufficient to serve the payment needs of billions of potential users. In 2020, the DeFi wave also made me believe that new altcoins were the future of crypto, and BTC would gradually be replaced and disappear. I held many altcoins and made a small profit when I sold them at the beginning of 2022.

However, BTC is still alive, creating a bitseason and being accumulated by many large companies while altseason couldn't happen in 2024. Luckily, I've DCA BTC throughout 2023 and had a chance to take profit 20% of total when BTC hit 100K USD in December 2024. During this season, I really felt the difference in my investment psychology: I feel more secure knowing I've profited from BTC, and I'm no longer pressured by temporary losses from altcoins in my portfolio. I can continue holding BTC and altcoins until the peak of the uptrend.

While many altcoin holders are worried that the DeFi-GameFi summer didn't happen in 2024, they even fear that altseason won't come because many top coins are still at their bottom prices. They regret missing out on the opportunity with BTC, they doubt the value of altcoins, including ETH and XRP because they haven't created a new ATH this season.

I realize that BTC is not only the safest asset in the crypto market or guarantees profits for investors in each new period, BTC also plays an important role in protecting investors' psychology, helping them stay calm to make sound decisions when necessary. Ignoring BTC seems not to be a good choice for long-term holders. I already have a plan to allocate 50% of my capital to DCA BTC in the crypto winter of 2026-2027, I hope I will again make a profit from crypto as in this season.

I would like to know your opinion on this issue:

Bitcoin is practically a safe haven for cryptos hehehe
I also got to know cryptos the same year as you, in 2017, and my first contact was with ETH and later with BTC

With the crash of 2018 I was quite shaken when I saw my portfolio fall 90%, but over time I studied, seeing how the market works and I became more confident, especially in BTC

I would say that for investors who want more security and don't want to “waste” so much time studying other projects, BTC is the best investment you can make, like buy, hodl and forget

BTC right now is probably 80% of my portfolio

Up till now I don't think anyone should be asking if bitcoin would be more profitable in the next 4-10 years any more, of course the result has shown itself and people who were likewise asking this same questions has seen it clearly that bitcoin is no longer the coin or asset to seems to know at the prelim stage. As a matter of fact bitcoin is now being talk of every nation, i.e every nation thinking about using it as a reserve fund. This crystal shows that we aren't meant to miss the golden opportunity we have now than to back them because nations has involved in the BTC game meaning it will be too expensive in the future, and even if there will be dip I don't think they will allow bitcoin to run to dust any more.

With Bitcoin, we can be rest assured if where we are going, things will have to fall in our own direction as well as getting the expectations we want, because we already have made the right choice in choosing bitcoin, then you will later discover that others are running after you to know the secret behind the progress we are making, while they are not getting it right as they have diverse altcoins investment which they couldn't control or have anything to right about than losses.

Nowadays, there are no longer doubts or fearfulness of Bitcoin not giving investors profits or reaching a new ATH when the price declines. It has turned out that when the price declines, that's the time to accumulate additional Bitcoin because it is certain that its price will increase back, compared to altcoin nobody is too sure they will get to their previous increased prices.

However, Bitcoin has proven to be a worthy investment to make for the future. It is the type of investment you will make, you will feel less worried about the future because you know that it's a bright future for you towards your Bitcoin investments.

Yes, Bitcoin has been proven since the first year Bitcoin appeared until now, as it continues to rise and reach its highest price.
It's not too late to start collecting Bitcoin until now or starting now, the price of bitcoin will still print ATH again, in my opinion, this is still a long journey.

Holding for the long term will give you a profit and do DCA every time bitcoin goes down and it is a good opportunity to buy and accumulate bitcoin holdings.
This will be good for Investor psychology, as Bitcoin is more trusted and more profitable in the future and some altcoins will also follow Bitcoin.

Good question. I think most newbies would not realize btc yet because they are still chasing that one token that will make them a lot of money. With a lot of projects vanishing, it helps to just stick or go back to the one that's already been tested over time. At least you could relax because you know bitcoin will still be there even if you don't follow its progress.

I would like to know your opinion on this issue:
  • Do you have BTC in your account?
  • Have you ever doubted the value and future of BTC?
  • Will you continue to invest in BTC in the next season?
1. Yes, I do have Bitcoin in my account and it is the most investment amount from my total investment.
2. As you already get answer the number one question that the most investment of mine were in bitcoin, so this will automatically answer that I have no doubt to the value of future of Bitcoin.  And why should I doubt on Bitcoin, where Bitcoin is providing the real decentralize ecosystem and as well have the most potential market in crypto and also limited maximum supply.
3. And yes I have plan for continuing after this bullish market with my DCA and also plan to make investment on the next bear season.

It seems to me that you had the wrong approach to Bitcoin from the beginning. From your subject and point of view, it could be concluded that Bitcoin appeared as something unknown to existing crypto investors.
First, Bitcoin represents the beginning of crypto, therefore the investors who appeared came because of some of the foundations that Bitcoin laid.
Next, without Bitcoin, the crypto market would not exist, at least not on this scale. It's safe to say that without Bitcoin, there probably wouldn't be any "crypto investors" or they would be minor.
Finally, altcoins are just individual attempts to create a crypto currency that will be controlled by a specific group of people, which rarely ever end successfully.

Do not mess crypto investors with market speculators who are only interested in quick earnings measured in hundreds of percent.

Yes, I do have Bitcoin in my portfolio and I'm someone who has never doubted in future value of Bitcoin and that's the reason why I'm holding it. Yes, without any question I'll invest in Bitcoin even if its value crosses $120k or $150k but I'll wait for the rights dips to accumulate it and when it reaches some high values I will sell and then wait again for those dips. I've been doing that dip accumulation for quite sometime and to be honest it has been helpful for me.

I have BTC in my account but unfortunately not a lot for reasons beyond my control that I do not want to talk about here because they are off topic.

As for the second question, absolutely not, I have never doubted the value and future of BTC. I have always been certain that Bitcoin is the future and that it will spread all over the world, and I am also confident that all governments will accept it in the near future.

As for the last question, yes, I will continue to invest in BTC next season and all the upcoming seasons as long as I am able to do so, and I will continue with the DCA strategy because we are not finished here.

1. Yes, just like you, I also have some Bitcoin in my portfolio but just like most people in crypto my hoard is not that so big though since I am living in a third-world country this can already help me economically since I am really hoping that in 2025 the price can reach $150K.

2. Yes, I doubted it many times before and in fact there was a time that I really got so bored with its movement that I resorted to selling all of my BTC for an alt that eventually got into a pump and dump thing resulting me getting some losses. From there on, I learned my lessons on Bitcoin. Bitcoin has this ability to make a good rebound anytime it got struck by lightning. And you can take my words to the bank on that.

3. Yes, I do. I am now planning to hold some Bitcoin and even increase what I got until it would be worth at least $1 million though this can really take some good time...hopefully not beyond 2030. Bitcoin is never perfect but nothing can replace its place in the world and market of cryptocurrency...the King lives on and would even grow even more this year and beyond.

If a newbie learns about Bitcoin, he doesn't need to worry about anything in the world, basically.
He would just need to relax and await his time to reap the boons of his patience. But as you said - many are not willing to do so.

1. Yes, more than 90% of my crypto portfolio is filled with Bitcoin because it's proven again and again no matter who tried to dump it and I don't really take risks with every new trends.

2. Nope, over the time my confidence on Bitcoin just kept increasing especially after understanding the geopolitics, economic structure and why is decentralisation proposed.

3. Yes, I will.

Altcoin investing is usually profitable after Bitcoin goes up like crazy and some of the liquidity moves from Bitcoin to altcoin.

1. I have BTC in my account because I have decided to focus on BTC during the market recovery phase as BTC tends to rise earlier than most ALTs.

2. I do not doubt the value of BTC. Since 2017, I have considered the possibility of BTC reaching $100K. However, I also thought that ALTs would outperform BTC and gain market share as blockchain will be widely adopted @@

3. I will continue to focus on BTC during the 2026-2027 crypto winter if it happens. BTC will never be excluded from my long-term portfolio in the next several cycles.

BTC has through the years created a solid foundation for old and new crypto enthusiasts, giving us all a firm believe of getting back our capital even when the market faces a bear run, and with patience, profits when the the bull run season comes. Most importantly, the price breaking of $100k gave everyone the mental stabilization that no matter the time duration, holding BTC for a long period will always bring back profit, while securing a good market entry point becomes a step further for traders who understands the market charts very well. At the continuing bullish season, the rate of FOMO and FUD will decline, cause everyone will start understanding fully that anytime investment is made on BTC has no effect against the profit one will make.

Yes I do, though not a full BTC, fractions and I'm acquiring more.

  • Have you ever doubted the value and future of BTC?

Well, at the start in 2016, I had no much knowledge about crypto currency, just doing crypto related activities for fun. By 2017, I made good profits from the very first bull run, which gave me a spark about developing more interest in the community, but when the market faced the bear run, I fainted in mind, as my first bear market experience which cause my entire holdings (both BTC and altcoins) dropped significantly. That was when I had a little doubt, though, I believed it will come up again (though with <5% conviction).

  • Will you continue to invest in BTC in the next season?
Yes I will, though not with big purchase, but in every fractions I can possibly make.

If you considered it a long time ago and from 2017 you said That Bitcoin is going to reach $100k, that is an incredible thought and you have achieved it now.
Did you buy in 2017 and hold it until now and what is the target price you want to reach to take your profits?
Of course you don't make a long-term investment without taking profits, everyone will take it but with different targets.

BTC has gone through many difficulties to lead the entire crypto market to its current position in the economy. Now, not many people want to deny the value of crypto, they are busy researching and finding ways to take advantage of opportunities from BTC.

Compared to large companies, we are still early investors in this market. Experience advantage can help us make big profits from BTC and altcoin. I hope you will have the opportunity to take profit at the peak of this season, then you will have a larger capital to DCA at lower price ranges.

Alts do outperform Bitcoin for some time during the bull - it's an alt season. And surely, I do think that some are as smart as to hold from 2017 straight - the knowledge and faith is needed for that, though, such diamond hands are rare nowadays as everybody wants profit here and now, and fast.

1. The major one
2. No
3. Yes. But at first, I must take profits in the peak bullish era in certain prices to target. So, I can optimize the profits and won't be too greedy in reaching the rate to take profits. So, I can get enough profits. Some will be used for something important in my real life. and some will be invested again after being in bearish era.

A nice plan to increase the amount of BTC and get more profits. I'm also a 4-year cycle investor and have no plans to hold to hold :)

Many people are talking about a supercycle now, meaning we will no longer have crypto winters. Do you believe in this to continue holding BTC in 2026 & 2027 to not miss the supercycle with BTC price potentially increasing rapidly to 1M USD?

No one knows what will happen later, just a prediction and will not always be accurate. The crypto winter may be imminent or it will just be postponed. But we just need to see now, this time it is a price drop that has been set by whales to get a cheaper purchase price.
The price of BTC may increase from what we imagined later, the actual bullish has not happened yet and this is still the beginning.

Basically speaking, I think only XRP is the altcoin that met and in this case even exceeded its market price by 5x. But that was because of the SEC and it had nothing to do with BTC.

Funny how all these alt traders are worrying the same way BTC holders were worried on Nove.ber 2022. Nothing is going to happen to them now.

It seems that many are doing 4-year cycle investment in crypto, by taking advantage of bearish and bullish opportunities. especially doing it with the DCA system, if it is disciplined and regular, the results are indeed very promising if you can be patient until the real bullrun. But of course it's not that easy with the various FUDs that existed last night holding. However, for those who have experienced this cycle, they must have understood and remained calm with all market conditions.

Basically speaking, I think only XRP is the altcoin that met and in this case even exceeded its market price by 5x. But that was because of the SEC and it had nothing to do with BTC.
XRP's development has been very good this time and we are just waiting for how the SEC will be with its new leadership later, whether there will be new regulations or policies related to crypto. Because it has been the enemy of XRP since several years ago which has made XRP quite fall because of the problems with the SEC. So that XRP holders will be more confident in holding the coins.

yup that is true even though we know that altcoins perform relatively depending on bitcoin’s performance however let’s imagine if bitcoin wasn’t doing well at that period and sec and xrp manage to conclude their lawsuit fight xrp will still continue to grow even if the overall market is not doing well but this is only my assumption as we will never know what would have happened anyway or if bitcoin’s performance allowed for more growth for altcoins giving more confidence to investors

When I first joined the crypto market in 2017, I used to look down on BTC because every new project criticized BTC's technological weaknesses and backwardness: the maximum speed is only 3-7 tps, completely insufficient to serve the payment needs of billions of potential users. In 2020, the DeFi wave also made me believe that new altcoins were the future of crypto, and BTC would gradually be replaced and disappear. I held many altcoins and made a small profit when I sold them at the beginning of 2022.

I can't agree more as I also experienced the same in start, people even on BTT forum was speaking that BTC blockchain is not that scalable and cannot bear the adoption if all the world out there adopts it. So they said even me after believing the facts which was not wrong though. As the tps and other things really make BTC slow but still, the world is adopting it as a long term investment while this was also not its main purpose.

I never doubted the value of BTC instead I bought it, I moved them non custodial wallets and never opened that wallet until I want to sell them. I am not investing in BTC at the current moment I stopped a long time ago .

The strength and speed don't create BTC's value, but rather its independence and decentralization have generated the current price near $100K. When investors understand this, they will stop comparing BTC to new blockchains, simply because the new blockchains are not worthy of comparison with BTC :)

I want to know when you stopped investing in BTC. I stopped DCA BTC and am only doing RDCA, but since I'm still holding BTC on CEXs, I think I'm still investing in BTC.

It seems that many are doing 4-year cycle investment in crypto, by taking advantage of bearish and bullish opportunities. especially doing it with the DCA system, if it is disciplined and regular, the results are indeed very promising if you can be patient until the real bullrun. But of course it's not that easy with the various FUDs that existed last night holding. However, for those who have experienced this cycle, they must have understood and remained calm with all market conditions.
Doing DCA for the long term also requires excellent money management, as you will only buy when the Price is in a DIP position. It is not easy to do a long-term DCA, let alone just wait for a cycle once every 4 years by taking advantage of the decline at the end of the cycle and selling at the peak of the cycle.

There will definitely be a lot of FUDs that the spread out, manipulation and some other Whales games to shake the mentality of long-term investors.
But if you are strong and able to survive the Bearish cycle, it will be a big profit when the market starts to be bullish and everything hits a new ATH.

Time will allow long-term investors to effectively apply DCA because we have very long crypto winters, 2-3 times longer than uptrends, so as long as we have a stable income, DCA is an easy strategy to maintain. The biggest challenge lies in the investor's psychology: they want to buy the dip and are easily scared and sell off when BTC drops significantly :(

However, compared to altcoins, BTC is still the most valuable asset in this market. If investors cannot maintain a stable mindset with their investment in BTC, it will be very difficult for them to invest in any other token.

DCA will always be the most effective strategy with a stable main income record and of course carried out regularly.
and of course psychology will be very much at play on the DCA strategy, testing psychology whether they are able to overcome the price drop and continue to buy or they give up by selling at the lower price and get a loss.

DCA that is consistent and continues to accumulate purchases, it provides a higher buying average and will earn more profits when the bull market arrives. So hold your position and don't sell when you lose.

Purchasing with the DCA method is very effective in accumulating potential coin purchases that we want to have.
I have been doing it for 2 years and still do it until now, although sometimes I stop it when the coins I buy are high in price.
because approaching the bullish season, you should be careful in buying coins because you are worried about getting caught in a high price.

  • Will you continue to invest in BTC in the next season?


Right now, Bitcoin is a must-have cryptocurrency, You can forget all the other coins; we just have to go for Bitcoin because of a lot of great things that are going to happen this year and onwards
On number 2, I never doubted the value of Bitcoin, and I always thought that it was only a matter of time before it reached the $1 million mark.
On number 3, yes definitely, I'm going to continue investing in Bitcoin; you will miss profit if you stop investing.

I have paid the price with many opportunities and profits to realize that simple and ordinary thing in the crypto market. If only someone had told me this 8 years ago to help me invest more leisurely and effectively simply by having BTC in my portfolio.

Let's wait together for the moment when BTC price reaches 1M USD, probably in the next 5-10 years. That's really attractive but it might also come with the drawback that BTC price volatility will decrease and opportunities for huge profits will also be less for us.

We may get tired towards money but it will not be possible to reach our goal. That is why before running, we need to understand which track we will run and what our future will be like. If we can predict our future in advance, then I think we are in the right place. There is no possibility of Bitcoin price doubling within a day, but if someone expects that, then he is definitely walking on the wrong path. He may lose everything at some point. But whoever stays true to his goal no matter what, he will definitely find his ladder of success through Bitcoin at some point.

Looking back, it's easy to think about holding BTC long-term for many years, but during the investment process, things become much more difficult. Investors will have to face the pressure of price fluctuations, even if they only hold BTC, a 70% drop in BTC price is enough to make them make wrong decisions.

Besides, the attraction of huge profits from altcoins can easily make them FOMO and all-in on many altcoins instead of choosing BTC for their portfolio. In the end, only the most sensible investors deserve to profit from BTC and this market.

It is better to ignore asking or answering such a question, privacy is important and may make you a target for hackers or worse, for example read ----> https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=327261.msg1695190#msg1695190 (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=327261.msg1695190#msg1695190)[/size]


Altcoin investing is usually profitable after Bitcoin goes up like crazy and some of the liquidity moves from Bitcoin to altcoin.

You are right, but Bitcoin seems to be more profitable than any altcoins, though start up capital may be hindered on buying some desirable quantities. However, a fraction of Bitcoin investments is idea for constant progress especially for traders and short term investors or holders. Over and over, Bitcoin remains the strength of altcoins, this is the reason most people flock into the Bitcoin investing and trading market on the daily basis.

The demand for Bitcoin keep rising, a situation that is causing altcoins dominance often, though it seem a normal situation but it give Bitcoin more strength to drive the entire crypto market.

Usually, the market will fluctuate irrationally for a longer period than investors can tolerate, because not everyone deserves the profit. I have witnessed this and will try to survive in the crypto market until that time.

Since 2022, I have understood that BTC is truly important for an investor's portfolio in this market. Ignoring BTC can actually make investors more anxious and make more poor decisions throughout that season. I think many other investors will soon realize this when they go through the 2025 season.

Alts may bring more profits due to their even bigger volatility, but Bitcoin is much more stable.
It's ideal for those that are ready to hodl and be patient about their investment.

When I first joined the crypto market in 2017, I used to look down on BTC because every new project criticized BTC's technological weaknesses and backwardness: the maximum speed is only 3-7 tps, completely insufficient to serve the payment needs of billions of potential users. In 2020, the DeFi wave also made me believe that new altcoins were the future of crypto, and BTC would gradually be replaced and disappear. I held many altcoins and made a small profit when I sold them at the beginning of 2022.

However, BTC is still alive, creating a bitseason and being accumulated by many large companies while altseason couldn't happen in 2024. Luckily, I've DCA BTC throughout 2023 and had a chance to take profit 20% of total when BTC hit 100K USD in December 2024. During this season, I really felt the difference in my investment psychology: I feel more secure knowing I've profited from BTC, and I'm no longer pressured by temporary losses from altcoins in my portfolio. I can continue holding BTC and altcoins until the peak of the uptrend.

While many altcoin holders are worried that the DeFi-GameFi summer didn't happen in 2024, they even fear that altseason won't come because many top coins are still at their bottom prices. They regret missing out on the opportunity with BTC, they doubt the value of altcoins, including ETH and XRP because they haven't created a new ATH this season.

(https://talkimg.com/images/2025/01/05/OR3Zj.jpeg)

I realize that BTC is not only the safest asset in the crypto market or guarantees profits for investors in each new period, BTC also plays an important role in protecting investors' psychology, helping them stay calm to make sound decisions when necessary. Ignoring BTC seems not to be a good choice for long-term holders. I already have a plan to allocate 50% of my capital to DCA BTC in the crypto winter of 2026-2027, I hope I will again make a profit from crypto as in this season.

I would like to know your opinion on this issue:
  • Do you have BTC in your account?
  • Have you ever doubted the value and future of BTC?
  • Will you continue to invest in BTC in the next season?

Note:
  • My opinion has been presented in a topic, on BitcoinTalk forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5525320).
  • This topic on AltcoinsTalks forum has included a minor change in the way my opinion is presented.
  • This statement is to avoid accusations of plagiarism.
Firstly;i personally feel that putting my capital and investing in bitcoon has protected my memtal health greatly while building my psychology of imvesting and i've never doubted on the wonders of btc;i believe when the market looks bad;btc seems to scale through.Theres a specific joy btc investors have that other crypto investors can't quite boast of;i believe.
   And yes;i possess a little amount of btc in my wallet for my own benefit.Bitcoin is a currency i invest so much in;not really much though but a decent amount as i believe im the bitcoin market.
People who have had experiences while investing on bitcoin as investors have alot to gain knoledge l.
  I think your investing on btc shapes your psychology;that is how you think while investing;how you act while investing;and the choices you make.
   It breeds you about the concept of risk taking which is basically a very important concept when it comes to investing in whatever investments.
The psychology of btc investors is way different from other random investors

Agree with you. Anyway, it's a big lesson for me in the upcoming bearish season, that it's mandatory to hold as much BTC as possible, if possible the Altcoins are no more than 30%. Hahaha

A bit regretful because last season I was like 50% : 50% for BTC and altcoins, and it was quite unprofitable for some of the altcoins that I took to hold. Some were okay like ETH, BNB, XRP, but the others were still really duds

In the bearish season I buy more bitcoin than altcoins, usually I buy 60% of bitcoin and the remaining 40% of altcoins such as Ethereum, BNB, Solana and XRP.
 I do that every season and I really believe in bitcoins more than altcoins.

In the crypto winter, BTC is always a safer choice than altcoins because BTC tends to rise earlier and stronger during the market recovery phase. In this season, this has been proven very clearly, only AI & RMA tokens have increased in price more than BTC, even native tokens like ETH, SOL, and AVAX have been left behind.

However, currently, the uptrend is underway and altseason may start anytime, altcoins become more attractive as BTC price is being held at the 100K range and capital can flow into altcoins. Agile investors can start expecting altcoins, while cautious investors can continue to hold BTC to their target.

Maybe yes, maybe no, because there are often resistance zone tests where price swings are always present. However, on the other hand, we may also see a more efficient market where prices accurately reflect the views of all market participants, not just those who believe in Bitcoin.

It is only necessary to wait for time, the situation of Bitcoin is indeed unstable and tends to be unclear, but this decline is a sign that higher gains could happen sooner.

Waiting for some positive news supporting bitcoin's rise and Bitcoin trying to break through $100k again and this will look very easy.

I think the market operates based on the clever and effective manipulation of whales. At this point, I believe whales have a reason to pump rather than dump because they haven't yet taken profits on the altcoins they've been actively accumulating over the past period.

For altcoins to increase in price, the BTC price needs to rise and remain stable for a long time. This is why I believe the BTC price will soon be pumped or at least maintained in the range of 90K-100K USD instead of falling to 70K USD.

I did not have BTC in the previous phase, only started buying BTC when it broke above the ATH 75K usd. I currently hold mainly BTC, a few altcoins, not all in BTC. Having BTC is already profitable, and how much altcoins increase is cherished, cannot expect altcoins when Dom is still very high like now.

I see BTC still playing an important role for a long time, similar to gold having an important role as a precious metal worth accumulating. Investors can confidently allocate half of their capital to BTC, then half of their capital to play altcoins is also good.

Allocating a large portion of capital to BTC, like you do, is quite common in this market. A BTC price increase of at least 2x-3x is enough to break even, and the ups and downs of altcoins don't matter. With that mindset, investors are more likely to win, even win big in this market because they are less pressured by losses.

It will probably be a long time before ETH catches up with or surpasses BTC. If this happens, we will have more new stories to tell about the market, hopefully altseason will come in 2025 instead of being delayed until 2029.

Long-term BTC holders can remain confident as they are still reaping huge profits despite the recent 20% drop. That's the position they've built through DCA and long-term vision. They'll have a more optimistic view when monitoring fluctuations in this market, they can wait for extremely high prices to take profits effectively.

Conversely, only altcoins holders are panicking and losing faith in the crypto market. I hope the BTC price will rise soon to help them escape that negative mindset, they'll be busy with altseason and FOMO again.

Everyone who collected only BTC after the 2021 bull run they benefited the most. Those who collect Bitcoin they will never loss if the hold long-term. I kept some altcoins and Bitcoin in my holdings. Where my altcoin holdings were relatively high, but I did not see much impact from altcoins in 2024, which is why there is no possibility of profiting from altcoins, rather some altcoins have lost value. As the market has added new projects, some old coins have not seen any significant impact. There is also no possibility that altcoins will influence the market in the future. That is why Bitcoin may be the only option for the best investment at this time. If the investor saves Bitcoin for the long term, there will definitely be a possibility of getting a good return.

In 2017 and 2021 bull market, alts I held gave plenty profits but I just kept holding them and eventually they turned to dust and thereon I learned my lesson to convert alt profits to BTC/ETH or stables to save my profits.

Choosing BTC and ETH is extremely wise when entering the crypto market, especially for inexperienced investors. BTC will ensure profits, while ETH offers the chance for extremely high returns if an altseason is successful.

Currently, BTC is still outperforming the rest of the market. We are in a bitseason, and BTC holders can comfortably enjoy profits while altcoins holders worry and consider selling off to buy BTC for safety or exit the market at a loss. At this time, everyone realizes the true value of BTC in terms of both investment and psychological management.

If such people hold in spot said alts - they can wait all they want till the alt season hits eventually, in my opinion.

Right now, many investors are very worried about the chances of an altseason this cycle, because the ETH price is still low and we haven't seen signs of a major trend in the crypto market. I'm not sure all altcoins holders can hold until the next season, if an altseason doesn't happen this year, I think most will panic-sell their altcoins at the harshest point of the 2026 crypto winter.

Personally, I also plan to sell my altcoins in 2025 instead of holding until the next season. I'm still hoping an altseason will happen in the next few months, creating an opportunity to take profits before the uptrend ends. In a worst-case scenario, I'll cut my losses on altcoins to have money to DCA next year.

If such people hold in spot said alts - they can wait all they want till the alt season hits eventually, in my opinion.

No need to be shakin' off your bags  ;D

This year was the most depressing of all. I'm just going with the flow now, let's see where altcoins takes me. After the crash of ETH, more than 70% of the portfolio went down in a single day. This year Alt season didn't came as we all expected. If this keeps up, we will hit rock bottom. My position already got liquidated, so you can imagine how I feel. None of us has the means to hold up any longer, I least not me.

I am sorry to hear about your loss, my positions are in minus too, but they are not that big and they are in spot, meaning I just see red all over, and don't think about it too much.

Let's hope the situation changes in the near months to come.

My condolences for your losses this season. I hope you'll still have a chance to recover what you've lost in the upcoming uptrend. Personally, I don't think ETH has crashed. Its price is still 2x higher than the crypto winter bottom, and those who DCA ETH are still seeing small profits rather than losses.

I don't participate in Futures, so I don't fully understand the temptation of leverage. If you do participate in Futures, stop loss is essential to protect your capital. We're optimistic about the market, but we can't be too risky. I've always believed that accumulating BTC will secure profits for investors in each new season.

It's hard to swallow the losses of altcoin, but you just have to hold on strong and never give up totally on your altcoin holdings because two out of your altcoin investments will skyrocket when the altcoin season comes, giving you the money you have lost from your altcoin investment.

The crypto market won't end this way, and Bitcoin hasn't given a higher ATH of $150k that many of us have been speculating for long. There is no way altcoin will increase to a new ATH that we won't see many altcoins increasing to higher prices. Some of the altcoins we have will surely experience an increase in price.

2025 is still underway, but yeah, currently, there is nothing that would propel the market further, and the things we anticipated didn't do so.

The only hope is for the chain of events to push investors to do something and have confidence in the future  ;)

We're all waiting for altseason this year, but everything still depends on the BTC price movement in the coming time. The success of BTC is a necessary condition for the altcoins' boom, that's what we've seen in previous seasons.

Right now, BTC holders are probably happy because the BTC price is recovering and heading towards 90K USD, while altcoins investors are worried and waiting, they hope that BTC won't suck all the money away from altcoins. I'm also holding a few altcoins but luckily I have BTC in my account so my pressure isn't too big.

Hold strong to BTC mainly, because through 2025, there should be a new ATH reached eventually, at least that is what I think will happen on that chart.

I'm hoping for the same thing. For BTC, 100K is my initial target. It doesn't really matter to me if the BTC price keeps rising since I don't own much BTC. What I'm looking forward to is its positive impact on altcoin prices in the market.

If BTC goes up by 50%, altcoins could go up by 500% or even more, which would allow me to make a sizable profit, possibly thousands of USD, from altcoins. The most difficult decision right now is whether to keep DCAing altcoins. At least having BTC in my account means I don't have to sell altcoins in a panic, I can hold them until the end of the year to see what the market says.
