Is it better to hodl
btc or invest it in other crypto like bitcoingold or bitcoincash or bit connect and others? Where will you profit more?
I can tell by your question that you don't understand altcoins at all, forget about trading. Don't even think of altcoins unless you completely understand them. Else they gonna rob you off your money. Stay in Bitcoin and hodl for the moment. Trading is definitely profitable in short term but is also highly risky. Please, understand market first before jumping in. You might find these high return yielding altcoins that too in short period, tempting. But huge whales are working behind it. Learn it before trying.
Whales obviously will always have an upper hand which is how they use every news to try to control the market movement as there will always be someone to respond to those movements and then, they make money from that. However, just as you have said, it is best to stay away from trading or any other investment as long as the party involved is not sure. It is one thing to want to trade and it is another thing to know how to trade.
