Absolutely, whether one is a day trader or in this long term (let's say for AT LEAST a year). I definitely belong in the latter category so I'll be weathering the storm. Sounds like you're in the same boat - cheers to that!!
PS - How do you hold your altcoins offline? Besides the biggest ones like Litecoin, Dash, Eth, a lot of others aren't featured in too many wallets AFAIK
I have a ledger wallet I have litecoin and ether and Bitcoin in it. Those are the only ones I have so far Oh and Potcoin which is online ;-(
Oh ok, gotcha.. yeah I have way too many altcoins to keep in wallets so I just store my main BTC and LTC in a wallet (Exodus) along with a very small amount of Dash, EOS, Augur, and Golem.
