If the coin is bitcoin i prefer to save it, but if the coin is alt coins i prefer to sell it all. Because i'm a person that don't like risk and i prefer sell the coins when the price still good than save it.
There is no point in saving altcoin for long term as the future of altcoin is unpredictable and holding them longer can be risky as it may disappear even at the next day which can bring loss for us.
You are right chief, theres no point to save up some altcoin but still i do save eth and monero which i could say that these altcoin have potential to grow even more on the future just like what bitcoin did in previous years ,.
You can save some good coins. Examples are the Ethereum, Dash or the Monero. They have good developments.
They are good alt coins but for me if you are going to save alt coins then why not save to hold the primary crypto currency of all time.
And that is going to be with bitcoins, go with what's on the pick but if you are having hard time to save with bitcoins.
Then alt coin is going to have the chance of making you good alternative for saving it.
You can mine the altcoins and then convert them to the bitcoin. It is better to hold the bitcoin.
