You have to understand that Heisenburr is a fanboy. He doesn't seem to understand that it is bigger than just the bitcoin crypto, it's about the technology in general and there are several projects that offer distinct advantages for certain individuals. I am actually glad I got into some alts in the past that bombed because it helped me recognize what to look for. Nothing wrong with acquiring bitcoin slowly, but to simply dismiss all the alts is foolish and are leaving a bunch of money on the table as a result.
For the few years that I have been on this my biggest returns have actually been through altcoins and do believe that something like Stratis and Monero have the largest potential to explode after ETH. If you had 10K to dump into either crypto and you picked ETH over BTC in the past few months you are happy as fukk. That shyt might hit $380 this week, that percentage gain
People are estimating that ETH is going to overtake BTC in overall market cap in the coming months. It just crossed 31 Billion Today with no signs of slowing. It has gained 20% on the USD, while bitcoin is actually down 1% in the last 24
Even ZCash has made bigger gains in the past 24 hours against the dollar
It's fukking wild out there breh, TAKE ALL THAT YOU CAN GET
Spreading out the risk is critical. For example this week I have been trading quite a bit and the 20-30% "hit" (manipulation) that Stratis just took was overshadowed by the percentage gains I made across the board.
I just transferred another $10,000 for my fidelity account into my checking account. I plan on getting in Stratis or Monero as some people I've seen that it had a lot of success have been recommending those. I'm not going to throw all of that money into just the two of them, but I'm definitely going to look into it and try and take advantage of some potential explosion.
I know there's potential for some of these coins to go down extremely quickly, but I put in $15,000 into ethereum over the past week and a half. I already have more cash in my account than my total investment, and I still have another 25 coins coming my way next week.
