In current situation the safe coin which I can feel is ETH, as we all know the eth is still potential to give easily 2x to 5x from here in coming few months. Keep your coin HODL till 2025.
How? I'm quite curious
Because ever since switching to POS they have been going down the hill.
Bitcoin created a new ATH and Ethereum failed to do the same
A coin that's supposed to have risen with more percentage than Bitcoin in the past due to its relative price.
Can't blame the coin with it's infinite supply and V at the top.
To OP question if am going to hold an altcoin it would be Usdt or Usdc.
Bitcoin drives the crypto market, and Etheruem most times depends on the Bitcoin trends to gain momentum, a dump on the bitcoin price affects the entire market.
Etheruem has been experiencing poor demands since the past seven months, I am hoping that it will bounce back during the altcoins season
Just like you mentioned, USDT, USDC are not directly altcoins, but they are stable coins built on the different blockchain networks. The actual alternative to Bitcoin are the numerous altcoins which includes, Etheruem, Solana, BNB Ada, matic Avax etc.
