What's the point of buying alts when bitcoin is a guaranteed moon mission?

What's the point of buying alts when bitcoin is a guaranteed moon mission?
Everything else is pretty much gambling.

Cuz bitcoin is old technology and only goes up cause normies are getting into it. I wanna see and support innovation.

because it goes up 3% and alts can do 1000%
obviously... or it would be pointless.

Bitcoin is a shitcoin that nobody seems to understand how bad it is compared to almost anything else.

this
fucking normies

>it goes up 3% and alts can do 1000%
this. bitcoin is now the "safe" normie investment while altcoins are like what bitcoin was a few years ago

when btc goes down alts go up.
its safer than shorting btc to usd(t)
and gaining satoshis

As more and more altcoins are made available to exchange directly for USD (not fucking tether), we'll see btc dominance decrease. Right now there's a whole wave of new money coming in to try to find the next big opportunity at the ground floor, but for 99% of altcoins, they still have to buy btc to trade first.

>my imaginary coin that doesn't do anything is better than yours!

But people are only investing in alts to use as a way to store wealth and get money from the value going up. Nobody really uses alts for buying shit anyway (other than illegal drugs, gambling, and porn) so it isn't really relevant that Bitcoin is useless as a currency.

Not everyone and not all altcoins. Some investment is directed into an altcoin because investors can see the potential for real world use.

BTC is a normie bubble coin

It will be worth shit all this time next year

Nit necessarily. There are still a lot of normie morons left to get in the ponzi scheme. It can still go up for a very long time. It's still a shitcoin though.

>when bitcoin is a guaranteed moon mission
>guaranteed
>moon mission

Bitcoin is reaching the normie masses, with the Big Bang Theory episode being the crux of it. Normies will FOMO it to ridiculous heights, the big BTC boys will dump on them and the bubble will pop.

Holding on to some Veeky Forums specials I see

Which crypto regularly gets bartered with? I've yet to see one that people trade with often. Most BCH and ETH people I've spoken with seem to just spout the same "HODL/To the moon/that pizza will cost you a million $" shit as the BTC people.

the question i want to know is why dont people just buy btc And alt...it seems to be one or the other.
make bitcoin 50% of your crypto portfolio and the rest be eth/neo and alts

And most people who "see the potential for real world use" aren't seeing themselves trading in it in the future, they are investing for gains in the hope that someone else might actually use it as a currency in the future and make it more valuable, from my experience.

BTW, I'm not posting this as a "calling you out" or shill kind of thing. I'm legitimately looking for an alt that is actually widely used for the actual purpose it was designed for.

I doubt it'll crash now. As I said, there are still plenty of people yet to buy in to keep the scheme going for a while longer. But damn if it wouldn't be hilarious to see a shitshow like tbbt crash a shitcoin like bitcoin.

The thing is the vast majority of the coins and platforms are still under development. It's very much a hype game now. I expect mainstream adoption of certain coins (if it happens) from 2020 and beyond. But I'm just a retard so take it with a grain of salt.

This is the crux of it. The more a coin is used, the less speculation there probably would be on it. It won't have flashy lights or pre-announcement hype beast trains, it'll just have a slow growing commerce base.

Hodling is the antithesis of real growth and hoping somebody else will subsidize your future wealth. If you want to see your investment grow, have a hodl pile, but USE that shit, for whatever and as much as possible. The more people who have slivers of the whole pie, the more likely it is to take off (this is/was btcs actual advantage) Too bad we don't have a coin like that waiting anywhere....

Front page of Wall Street Journal today is all about bitcoin. The title says "Bitcoin Mania: Even Grandma Is In".
Makes you wonder.

I've realised this the hardway.
Trying to get out my alts and into comfy bitcoin.
Where I will also keep 1-2 Bitcoin in cold storage to guarantee a life moon mission.

this. by LINK. NOW!

Because the optimal use of my money is to spend it all in the most profitable venture.
There is no point dividing it between a profitable investment, and a much less profitable one.

It's called minimising risk and it's investing 101

>It's called minimising risk
the word you're looking for is diversification. As in 52%. Pic. related.

>bitcoin is a safe investment

It's not a guaranteed moon mission you fucking retard. Why would you even think that?

>when btc goes down alts go up.

Explain why my alts are crashing harder than BTC is, making me lose satoshis.

It's exremely safe. You should put all of your money into it during a correction and really just forget about fiat as much as you can and find ways to pay with BTC Instead. If you have a job, just put all earnings directly into BTC or other established coins like ETH, ARK or XMR and in a few years you will be a fatcat rolling in cash sniffin coke off a hooker's ass.

Dump coming soon

I how all you bitcoiners have the suicide hotline on speed dial

Because 50% of the market is btc. During a crash, the look at the btc value of a coin to see if it is performing. When btc rebounds, those will get the biggest boost in usd value.
