BTC: a tool to protect the psychology of crypto investors?

[debra]

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

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.

2025 is still going on and we have lots of time for that to happen, I do think that pump is around the corner in some months or so, and if not - we should just wait for it on the BTC chart.

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.

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.

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.

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
2. I did doubt before, but after 2021 bull market, I don't doubt anymore.
3. Yes


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.

Great experience, even though you lost some of your funds, you learned so much, I believe.

Targets should always be put, especially on alts, otherwise, we may be tempted into hodling them for too long

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.

No need to be shakin' off your bags
