Great post, welcome to the world of crypto!
I know the feeling of realizing your fiat amount would be the same if you held onto just btc n eth. I have a feeling alts r gonna start to go crazy pumping this week .... so hold on at least you should be able to break even if not take some btc/eth profits soon. I also have a few coins im waiting to break even or more to get off my hands. I been in crypto for 9 months now and im still learning everyday. Thats another key ... always keep learning! And have a strategy you stick to!
In the beginning i got my feet wet, WAS just buying whatevr coins ... then i started to list out my solid long term holds, trying to limit that down to 5-7 so i can really focus on those .... good luck !!
Thank you for your words @ladram!!! I totally agree with you, and I'll keep loyal to my eth/btc/alt distribution :)
