Title: Do you enjoy trading BTC more than other alts?
Post by: Mentaintrader on April 16, 2025, 06:09:50 AM

I had a conversation with a trader friend who said he finds trading BTC easier than other tokens. He also mentioned that if he were to enter a trading competition, he’d focus solely on BTC.

His reasons were that BTC tends to respect historical analysis, follows order blocks more reliably, and is less volatile compared to most alts.
That’s why I brought it up here—especially now that BTC's price action looks strong, and we might see a rise in BTC-focused competitions soon. What do you think?

i would agree with him

the cryptocurrency that will be the most enjoyable is the one where you make more profit with less challenges altcoins can be tradeable but it is too volatile too unstable and like your friend said usually do not follow historical data compared to bitcoin where patterns and trends are a lot easier to spot though i am not saying it is extremely easy but it is also not totally random like how most altcoins would be

maybe because altcoins are often centralized and new to the market

Less volatile = lesser rewards, but lesser risk. More volatile = more rewards, but more risky.

Well, I will not disagree with your friend because I assume that he's expert in trading already. As for me, what I'm doing is that, I'm looking at the price movement of Bitcoin first then I will pick on those top altcoins to trade because altcoins tend to move the same as Bitcoin does. Of course, this isn't the case because there are some altcoins who are moving on the opposite way as Bitcoin does, but most of the time, it follows. Since altcoins are more volatile, trading on them will be more rewarding compared to trading in Bitcoin, but the risk is higher as well.

As for BTC-focused competitions, there might be some, and there are some exchanges that are doing it already, but most are focusing on various altcoins.

Trading is risky generally but bitcoin trading will be preferred by patient traders while altcoins trading is very risky than bitcoin trading. A good trader will also prefer to trade bitcoin.

I do not like trading generally because the chance to lose is more than the chance to win for most traders. But bitcoin trading is better than altcoins trading that even without using leverage, your asset can be liquidated.

i actually do enjoy trading BTC because volatility occurs too much in the crypto space, and at least BTC still have chance to make things stable, so i prefer BTC

Maybe his reasons are valid as to why he prefers or chooses to trade in bitcoin much better than trading Altcoin, for one thing I myself do know for sure is that some Altcoin usually lack enough liquidity to enable easy buying and selling, there are some Altcoins you buy today, and you have to wait for several days to see if anyone will place a buy order close to atleast, the price range you bought it to possibly minimize your loss when you sell, this is why it's always good to only trade in top exchanges with high trading volumes like Binance and bybit and a few others, this is for serious traders though..

So let's assume that Bitcoin and every Altcoin are at the same level when it comes to liquidity and ease of buying and selling, I think trading Altcoin, good Altcoins may likely be more profitable than trading bitcoin, even though the risk of losing may slightly be higher, which i still see as normal because that's part of the rules of risk and reward - that is, the higher you risk, the higher your potential reward.

Less volatile = lesser rewards, but lesser risk. More volatile = more rewards, but more risky.
That's the perfect mathematical representation of trading.
The volatility determines the profit and corresponding risks.

We all know that trading is all about risk that's the sole reason why the higher the risk, the higher the profit involved.
Most traders enjoy trading those token that moves like light speed on a low time frame because they can scalp out profits very fast undermining the risk of loosing.

Your friend is correct as he chose his path rightly but for me, though not professional yet, I prefer those ALTs especially memes because they are much more cheaper and the big capital you'll use to enter the market just to buy a fraction of Bitcoin would give you the power to purchase these memecoins in Millions and can make you have a little control of the market trend.

For a trader to focus solely on bitcoin then he his well experience and he has been in the game much longer. As for a beginner or newbie who is into trading and is not much experience and knowledgeable, then he will learn is strategy and analysis on less volatile currency pairs like EURUSD, USDJPY and other less volatile currency pairs.
 Bitcoin do respect order blocks and other analysis like resistance level and support levels and so much more and trading bitcoin is really good but at same time it can be very volatile that it will go against the strategy. My advise for new traders or newbie is to focus trading on less volatile currency pairs so they won’t face much loss and they will understand their analysis much more better.

You have a higher chance of making a good trade on BTC/USDT than on altcoins because the price dumps and spikes all the time while with altcoins, its just a steady decline.

Your only hope for altcoins is the altcoin season that's just it. There is nothing else to do with altcoins but wait for the altcoin season as there is no pumps going on everyday on altcoins.

BTC is considered an indicator of the health of the entire crypto market, and hundreds of millions of investors monitor BTC price movements. This provides the necessary condition for the effective application of technical indicators: a sufficiently large sample size for general observations to become valuable. We can easily recognize this when opening the SMA208W. "BTC price is very well supported by the SMA208W because the halving period is 4 years = 52W x 4 = 208W" - this simple observation is only true if the entire market makes decisions based on observing BTC price movements.

As I know, CEXs usually do not limit the assets allowed in trading competitions, meaning traders can trade BTC and win. However, many traders prefer ALTs because they often have large fluctuations and can yield greater profits, helping them increase their chances of winning prizes. I am not an intraday trader; I have BTC in my portfolio but also do not reject opportunities with ALTs during altseason.

Bitcoin is the mother coin of all coins. And the price of all other coins fluctuates with Bitcoin. But although Bitcoin is less volatile, altcoins are much more volatile. So trading coins other than Bitcoin is much more risky. So if someone has the intention of trading without holding, he should first start trading with Bitcoin and then gradually observe the market by trading Bitcoin and later he will be able to predict himself by analyzing when and how much the price of any coin can go down or up.

Agree. Bitcoin price repeats the same pattern. Bitcoin price dropped and increased again constantly. It is quite different with most altcoins that they only declined continuously. There is no way to get profits if the prices of altcoins keep declining all the time. So, it makes sense if people prefer to focus on Bitcoin only nowadays.

Your only hope for altcoins is the altcoin season that's just it. There is nothing else to do with altcoins but wait for the altcoin season as there is no pumps going on everyday on altcoins.
Yep, we are waiting for the altcoins season but it still has no clear sign until now. Some people claim that the altcoins season in this cycle has a different scenario. Other people assume that we will have no altcoins season. It becomes worse that people prefer to trade Bitcoin only now. This only makes the chance of altcoins season to be smaller. So, it is difficult to expect of big pump on most altcoins prices for now.

altcoin is indeed more volatile than bitcoin, this is what makes altcoin more profitable when we trade it.
and for newbies who are starting to learn to trade, it is better to use bitcoin, because the risk is lower. Likewise, if you choose to hold for the long term, bitcpoin is the main priority.
because the risk of investing in bitcoin is quite high, that's why we recommend choosing top coins.

This will depend on the time.

But for the last few times, I think it's more enjoyable to trade Bitcoin than altcoins. But in this case, for me, it's Spot trade, not future (because I'm not a high risk trader).

Because when we install a pair and with a certain margin, for the short term, the BTC chart is more understandable than some altcoins, and at least, if the analysis deviates and does not match our target, we can hold the coin until the price matches the target price that we will take. So, actually it's related to the high or low risk, that's why Bitcoin trading is much more enjoyable than altcoins.

Even you want to do trade the altcoins you must have to focus on the Bitcoin market also and as well do analysis because there the whole crypto market goes on the same path what the bitcoin do.
So in most cases, if you don't pay attention to the Bitcoin market in advance, you won't be able to have much fun or make much profit by trading altcoins.
And in my case, I don't like it because I'm not really good at short-term trading. I just enjoy holding bitcoin.

Your friend was right. I am doing the same thing, I used to trade BTC than alts because the volatility is lesser. You know how important to determine the volatility is because the level of the risks depends on it. It's easier to lose with high volatility coins because it can be easily manipulated. So when trading alts you have to extend your stop loss, and reduce your leverage. I've been trading with alts for how many years but I can't make profit with them, that's why only trade solely now with Bitcoin.

Post by: BitMaxz on April 17, 2025, 06:13:07 PM
I don't trade with other altcoins and tokens unless I see patterns, but usually I only trade BTC because other coins are dominated by BTC. If you see the BTC price down, altcoins and tokens are also down and more volatile than BTC. So if you are going to trade with alts, always make sure to check the BTC price action first before you take any position on alts.
Always make sure to set tight SL on alts it's risky. That's why you need to make sure only trades with quality positions. If you succeed, sometimes you can make 1:5 or more in a single trade on alts.
If you still don't have much confidence and don't have a proven strategy that works, I suggest stay with Bitcoin because it is far from manipulation than alts.

Partially true but not entirely that BTC follows the historical patterns and it's definitely not gonna be any help for a day trader who is most likely to be a participant of the competitions or any promotional events. But the good thing is, less volatile compared to altcoins and when you chose a stable coin pair, you can simply focus on the technical analysis of bitcoin itself and no need to do the same for hundred others when you pick altcoins.

His reasons for having an interest in only trading bitcoins are very valid because I feel that if you must choose a particular coin to trade, be it bitcoin or altcoins, you should have a strong reason for it and not just reasons based on sentiments or emotions; the reasons have to be concrete enough to make sense.

Actually, your opinion is appropriate in this moment. So i am also agree with your appropriate comment. We obviously know that BTC trading is one of the best profitable trading source in cryptocurrency market. Because we believe that most of the crypto currency traders also support BTC trading. But others crypto currency trade will be very difficult for understand, because we know that when new cryptocurrency come in cryptocurrency market it must be difficult for us. So i think that BTC trading is more prefer than others altcoin.

If consistency and even greater availability of information are deemed more important compared to the previous characteristics, then yes, BTC, as more available information, should be used as a reference in trading operations. BTC has shown evidence of becoming digital asset that has more volume and range and comparatively more sound price fluctuation trend. When venturing in the altcoins, especially the newly available ones, we are met with market volatility which could be as a result of short term events or manipulations by giant investors. That is why while in BTC all sorts of volatilities are present in spite of that basic analysis seems to be less speculative. That is why many of the global community prefer to use BTC as the primary asset in such operations.

We can't compare bitcoin with altcoins trading. The gain in bitcoin is much more higher because it can move faster and higher than others just that the risk with bitcoin is much and others are not much because the movement for others are not like BTC. Though there is gain in BTC trading if it favoured you. I have not traded with altcoins so I can't say much on them.

That trader is absolutely right. BTC is very less volatile than alts and predicting its price on the basis of historical data is way efficient then any other alts because it is the oldest so the upper hand is we have more data on BTC then any other alts.

We can learn so much from BTC alone and can make money but that's not the case with alts because those alts follow BTC so in other words, if we are not following BTC price action while doing alts we cant really succeed because to predict alts PA we need to analyze BTC PA.

Bitcoin is indeed more stable in its movement in the market when compared to altcoins. However, a trader prefers the top altcoins to trade because they can get higher profits than bitcoin. I choose both because I want to get consistent profits. And also consider market trends, because this also has a big influence on trading.

This is how we should trade because marrying only one coin can cost us a fortune. We should diversify our investment and with time divorce a coin until things gets stable and here I am only talking about coins  ;)

Nowadays top altcoins are also not so stable they give goosebumps to their holders for example from the last two months top 50 to top 100 coins are already down 50% or maybe more. Some even went 90% down like OM.

Your friend is actually right and I will also focus more on trading Bitcoin than any other coin if I’m to chose to take part in a trading competition. I usually feel because of bitcoin volatility, it would be very hard to trade, like it won’t obey most of one’s trading strategy and will always go against your analysis. But it doesn’t work that way after I gave it a try. It obeys order blocks and zones a lot, so it’s a good choice to trade also while managing your risks and maximizing your profits.

It is often considered that trading Bitcoin is a very tough affair especially because it is a highly volatile instrument that changes its price within minutes. But in the real sense, Bitcoin bears a very identifiable pattern, especially if you have the skill in trading with relation to patterns and the support resistance indicators. Most traders, who initially thought that Bitcoin cannot easily be traded due to great volatility, later established that it could be very tradable when properly managed. The point to bear in mind is that the fluctuation of Bitcoin’s price is unpredictable, but the market as a whole behaves in a certain pattern which one can count on if he is patient and does not make an emotional decision.

When you are on trading competition then it wont matter whether you are trading Bitcoin or some altcoins. Stick into the coins/tokens on which you do see yourself that doing well on dealing with it. Stick into something on where you can be able to handle up the movements on which we know that despite of being similar as a crypto but still movements could vary in between assets.
Enjoyment? I dont see trading could be enjoyment or fun because this will be needing up that serious approach and having that needing up that attention because if you do see this to be fun then you wont be that serious on applying your analysis. Well, it will be depending on a certain person on how they would be having such approach on what they've been that doing.

Trading experience and profits depend entirely on how knowledgeable a person is about trading in cryptocurrency and which trading platform they start trading with. If you are a bitcoin trader then you would never say that you always want to enter the market for profit. I would never tell an olympic athlete how to run faster because that is his effort and many years of experience.

So those who trade with bitcoin must have a lot of experience and a long time they are connected to it. Good trading and investing comes from risk management so the more risk you can take, the more profit you will make. If you can manage your risks appropriately, you will become a better trader and come closer to maximizing your returns.

        -     That's just his own belief, to me it's true that bitcoin (BTC) is easy to trade and so are other cryptocurrencies. It's just difficult to get a profit in BTC and even in cryptocurrency. Because there are really problems when it comes to execution according to the analysis we will do unless you just guess, you are called gamblers not traders.

Since we are talking about trading, it means we want to get profit in trading bitcoin, where is it easier to do? For me, it's easy to do it in futures trading activity. But you must really know something about trading because you can't do nothing, because then you can easily be liquidated, it's better to just do spot trading if you don't have enough knowledge in trading.

I do not like trading generally because the chance to lose is more than the chance to win for most traders. But bitcoin trading is better than altcoins trading that even without using leverage, your asset can be liquidated.

Honestly, every trader even Investors will always prefer Bitcoin trading/investing at any time. Bitcoin remains the best crypto trading coin than altcoins, and one of the reasons is basically it's consistent demand and the potential to always recover after the dip or corrections. The demand for Bitcoin is absolutely unprecedented, many people has actually observed this great feature, and it has enhanced Bitcoin demands overtimes.
I don't think that the chance to lose is not greater than the chances to win on Bitcoin trading for most traders, it all depends on your experiences or interest on trading. Most people prefer other forms earning Bitcoin than trading, that could be their better earning option in my opinion.

Honestly, every trader even Investors will always prefer Bitcoin trading/investing at any time. Bitcoin remains the best crypto trading coin than altcoins, and one of the reasons is basically it's consistent demand and the potential to always recover after the dip or corrections. The demand for Bitcoin is absolutely unprecedented, many people has actually observed this great feature, and it has enhanced Bitcoin demands overtimes.
I don't think that the chance to lose is not greater than the chances to win on Bitcoin trading for most traders, it all depends on your experiences or interest on trading. Most people prefer other forms earning Bitcoin than trading, that could be their better earning option in my opinion.

Yes you are right, actually, I have already done a comparison of bitcoin trading in spot and futures. The difference between the two is that when you trade bitcoin in futures, you can quickly get a profit in USDT if this is the category you choose. But it can also be liquidated quickly depending on the leverage that anyone sets.

Unlike spot trading, which is slow, you will not be liquidated if you do not sell at a loss on the trade you make, then in spot, patience is still really needed.

If you have been in the crypto world for a while, you will find that Bitcoin has a good reputation in terms of it’s price, demand, as well as trust since the beginning. Nevertheless, not everyone can attain Bitcoin through trading and thereby needs to get accustomed to the mode. Some are open for mining or staking or even for regular buying without checking the charts frequently. Therefore, the tactic of getting the asset that fits your character is the best way of going about it. Thus, the bitcoin can be the main target, while the way to that objective can be different, and all of them are acceptable given that one knows the direction he is taking.

When it comes to trading then I am more comfortable with altcoins. Because its higher volatility makes it easier to use for short-term trading. But it wouldn't be wrong to say trading on bitcoin is easier. Because the volatility is a little easier to predict and not as wild as altcoins. It's just that with capital that is not large, it is difficult to get big profits from spot bitcoin trading, except when trading futures, then bitcoin is more of an option.

His reasons for having an interest in only trading bitcoins are very valid because I feel that if you must choose a particular coin to trade, be it bitcoin or altcoins, you should have a strong reason for it and not just reasons based on sentiments or emotions; the reasons have to be concrete enough to make sense.
Someone who decides to trade a certain coin, he must have a big reason. He probably chooses Bitcoin because Bitcoin is more predictable, Bitcoin raises and drops constantly with almost the same way. Meanwhile altcoins become more difficult to predict because altcoins can drop suddenly and then they are difficult to increase again for few months. This never happens in Bitcoin, so he prefers Bitcoin for the safety reason.

When it comes to trading then I am more comfortable with altcoins. Because its higher volatility makes it easier to use for short-term trading.
Yep, higher volatility means a chance of higher profits. It's the main reason that people mostly choose altcoins for trading purposes.

I don't think so, because I'm not a trader. I'll share the perspective of a holder in the crypto market, and honestly, I'm not a fan of BTC.

BTC has greater stability than most altcoins in this market, and many traders like to trade BTC because they can apply technical analysis methods more accurately. However, when I DCA, I choose BTC for its safety, and I have to fight the regret I feel when I see the success of many other tokens in the AI trend and LRD trend.

I respect the value of BTC, and I'm profiting from it, but I hope the Bitseason ends soon so that altseason can happen!

I had a conversation with a trader friend who said he finds trading BTC easier than other tokens. He also mentioned that if he were to enter a trading competition, he’d focus solely on BTC.

His reasons were that BTC tends to respect historical analysis, follows order blocks more reliably, and is less volatile compared to most alts.
That’s why I brought it up here—especially now that BTC's price action looks strong, and we might see a rise in BTC-focused competitions soon. What do you think?
I agree with you that trading BTC is easier than altcoins, where in my opinion BTC determines the value of altcoins, so it is easier to predict prices if there is a correction, BTC recovers faster than altcoins.

We all know that Bitcoin is the safest, number one and most sought after cryptocurrency coin by people. So by trading Bitcoin it can be said to be the smallest risk crypto trade compared to other Altcoins, although in fact all cryptocurrency trades are risky. So let's just think, want to trade with high or low risk. Because by trading with high risk, usually the potential is also high.

I agree with you friend because I also find BTC very easy because it is not that volatile and the data is just too much that we can learn a lot from this. I first traded in Gala AFAIK and I was doing spot trading in it, when I traded it I did not know anything about BTC I don't even observe the price movements of BTC.

Recently when I started trading again, I till now, had understand the importance of BTC movement if we even want to trade in alts, so everytime I trade in alt, I first observe the price movement of the BTC then make trade.

Trading with bitcoin is indeed safer, but the results are not as big as using altcoins. I prefer trading with top altcoins because they are also safe and can provide more benefits than bitcoin.
There are still many top altcoins that we can use for trading, besides bitcoin as the safest coin. but it all comes back to the considerations of each individual

Those who basically know about Bitcoin and its history, I mean those who already have experience in the markets before, will always say that they enjoy investing in Bitcoin for the long term rather than investing on altcoin or investing in Bitcoin for short term trading. Actually, I understand very little about technical analysis and because of this, I always stay away from day trading, but if you want to invest with low trading risk, then it is possible to enjoy it if you choose Bitcoin here.

In trading, skills are also needed, such as choosing Altcoins that have good potential. Altcoin trading has a higher risk, but of course it has more potential too. And I think we need to learn for that, we can't just trade Bitcoin of course. We also need to trade other coins, and that will certainly make trading more interesting.

Altcoins are certainly very important in trading. Trading without altcoins will not be suitable for everyone. Those who want to trade in Bitcoin with relatively little investment will definitely not be worthy to trade. Trading with Bitcoin will definitely require a large investment. But if someone wants to get the benefits of trading using altcoins, it will be very easy. Although not all altcoins are good for trading, if you do proper research and select good coins and try to trade by considering their potentiality well, then there is definitely a possibility of getting good returns.

From the name itself we can already ascertain that altcoin is an alternative... while Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency... well, if altcoin does not exist, then people who hate Bitcoin and love Altcoin, will prefer to leave the cryptocurrency space, here there will be a very large outflow from the cryptocurrency space... but not as big as if Bitcoin was removed...

I realize that the price and price movement of Bitcoin is not the same as altcoin, so it is natural that something big will happen when the altcoin market just disappears... because in the cryptocurrency space, altcoin enthusiasts are also very large...

Definitely bitcoin is the big and main crypto boss let me just put it that way altcoin are just like subordinates or just adverbs cause without the bitcoin altcoin won’t be found or has use. If bitcoin is being removed from the crypto currency’s space then digital currency will crash  and many will loss a lot and many will definitely leave crypto currency world cause it of no use to them when bitcoin is removed.
Bitcoin plays a vital role in the crypto world so removing or trying to removed it will be very difficult and will cause a lot of crashes not only on crypto currency’s world but also the economic aspect and more negativity.

i would agree with him

the cryptocurrency that will be the most enjoyable is the one where you make more profit with less challenges altcoins can be tradeable but it is too volatile too unstable and like your friend said usually do not follow historical data compared to bitcoin where patterns and trends are a lot easier to spot though i am not saying it is extremely easy but it is also not totally random like how most altcoins would be

maybe because altcoins are often centralized and new to the market
As everyone knows, trading is very risky and that is the fact. But among all the cryptocurrency, I think that Bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency to trade with, I'm talking base on my preferences but I don't know for others. because people know about Bitcoin more than any other cryptocurrency and it is acceptable to a lot of people, you can find Bitcoin in a lot of places where they trade cryptocurrency. You can trade with any cryptocurrency that you feel comfortable with and you understand more. Every cryptocurrency trading is risky but they are riskier than one another.

If bitcoin can be the leader of all other cryptocurrencies we have, then expect it to be the most suitable one to trade as well, trading altcoins could also be promising but we must be able to take the risk involved in them, because not all of them are best suitable for trading due to low performance and unpredictable future expectations in them, while trading bitcoin comes at all facets of playing safe without too much exposure on risk.

Bitcoin is boss of all currency. And Bitcoin is laso best for trading i strongly believe it. Because Bitcoin Fluctuation is smaller then others Altcoin. We know sometimes Many Altcoin Fluctuate huge 200% to 300% and more. But we know Bitcoin Fluctuate percentage is not like Altcoin.

So i think Bitcoin trading is safe then others Altcoin. I also believe trading is safe and profitable. So i always try to Trade on Bitcoin. It also true that if we trade on Bitcoin then losing possibility will low then others Altcoin.

For daily and weekly traders, Bitcoin isn't the best coin to trade and that's because of it's less volatility nature when compared to altcoins so in order to make gains, they most times do not trade Bitcoin since it's very unlikely to increase up to 30-100 in a day or in a week but for long-term investors, trading Bitcoin is very safer as theirs chances of suffering loss is very low.

For me, choosing which coin to trade is mostly influenced by the timeframe. I trade Bitcoin for long-term tradings and alt for short-term trading but because I'm more of a long-term trader, it's safe to say that I trade Bitcoin more than altcoins.

Isn't Bitcoin the leader of all cryptocurrencies so far? It's like this, Bitcoin is the pioneer of cryptocurrency. and so far we have experienced the momentum that altcoins will follow the development and era of Bitcoin. Not the other way around. So that's probably not what it means, but once again, when people have decided to trade in crypto, then it can also be done in every era. and trust in Bitcoin is indeed not in doubt, how Bitcoin will definitely always be the best, the most advanced, and also the most crypto influencing altcoins.

For me who is not very active in short-term trading, I think monitoring BTC price movements alone is enough to monitor altcoin price movements too.. now cryptocurrency tends to be a side job that still makes money for our economy, but we shouldn't be too hasty... because every decision related to cryptocurrency has a big impact on our economy....

In addition, when we already understand the basic concept of trading and also have good experience with Bitcoin coins, it will make it easier for us to survive in investing in cryptocurrency.. we will understand more about the crypto world which makes it easier for us, especially me, who for the past 4 years has preferred to study Bitcoin and only a few top altcoins.... I prioritize my focus on just a few coins, so that makes us more focused...especially BTC

Bitcoin isn’t a bad currency pair to trade at all to me bitcoin follows and respect every movement more than some other currency pairs it respect Order block strategy, respect resistance and support level, it respect break of structure and other more.some currency pairs don’t exactly respect it and bitcoin is very suitable and enjoyable when studying or reading it candle sticks movement before entry. I really do enjoy trading bitcoin and I also know many traders and investors do enjoy it.
