Bitcoin hodling is no longer lucrative...rather HIGH RISK.
When dealing with Bitcoin is un-avoidable, choose a short term trade, in and out in a day or two.
So, what are the Best bet for hodling?
Ethereum
With solid team and management, one should not underestimate the vision that Vitalik Buterin and friends have. Lets go back to January 2017 when Ripple was traded very marginal compared to the superior BTC... It's a jump of over 2000% and keep going.Ripple
Everyone knows its partnership with major banks, but what most people don't know. Their xRapid will be soon widely used by most major Money Transfer companies. That's when everyone will witness the rise that could go pass Ethereum at some point.
Now, very interesting when looking at these three "new kids on the blocks" -- well, not really new for ADA
- Cardano
- Tron
- Verge
Why.............
One of the intrinsic purposes of cryptocurrencies is to distribute wealth and democratize the financial system.
Give the power back to the society, decentralize and so on and so forth.
From my travel to the FAR EAST, people who earn a fraction of those fortunate enough living in more developed countries would not afford BTC or ETH.
They will not dare to dream of buying bitcoin, instead they will turn to coins that they can afford to buy (or lose).
Do the math, how large is this population...
200 MILLION young THAI+INDO+MALAY+CHINESE Multiply by $100.
Imagine this buying power.
Last but not least, for a small crypto like ADA+TRX+and XVG there is always market that ready to adopt.
Best of luck.
