As a trader i strongly believe Bitcoin offers stability and dominance which is one of the core reasons why most traders stick to trading bitcoin on the other hand altcoins brings high-risk, high-reward opportunities. The volatility in altcoins presents both risks and opportunities. As a trader, navigating uncertainty strategically can lead to high-reward trades, though for me, I mostly choose to trade BTC while leveraging a good derivatives platform. What about you and which exchange did you use in trading, kindly share with us.
Focusing on Bitcoin as a trader isn't bad because it can not be easily manipulated, but the slow movement might be quite discouraging sometimes except you're a swing trader. Irrespective, trading altcoin is not a bad idea because I do more of altcoin trading. And, if I must say, they give higher reward. The truth is, it depends on your trading strategy, greed level and your selected pairs. I have a quite number of good altcoin that I trade with less or no manipulation. Also, due delegence, chart analysis strength and strong fundamentals can keep one ahead of any altcoin, wether newly listed or not, ones win can be 80-90% guaranteed.
