I started with £80 (just over $100), I bought £50 bitcoin and £30 etherum. Transferred them to bittrex. I held the the etherum and put most of my bitcoin on alt coins.
Buy and Hold: Ethereum has offered stability to my portfolio, I’ve hung onto steem and ripple and neo as longer term things.
Pump and Dump: The other coins you see (bar dash) are there to pump and dump I have no emotional attachment to them. Other coins I dumped EMC2 I made gains, groeslcoin I made a loss, same with feather coin (although they shot up after) verge a mini gain.
Here is my bittrex account and the coins I’m holding for anyone new to this and wondering what alt coins are doing well.
I do two things with cryptocurrency.
Neo and ADA I bought on a reccomendation from steemit users, ripple from suppoman, I want EOS but bittrex doesn’t have it. I sold half my ADA when it shot up and bought dash and neo with it.
Be patient with steem, it will be as constant as the North Star.
Hope that gives you some ideas for your own crypto investement.
