like anything else, there'll be more ups and downs. at least now, we've got a relative marker of value...
i.e. even if EOS hovers around $1 for the rest of the ICO, but ETH doubles - it'll work out to about the same as if we bought at 50 cents. (If spending our ETH).
so yeah, might be a bit of a psychological mindfuck looking at the doubling of EOS over the last week - but its all relative over time. (i.e. I sold a bit of Bitcoin Cash to buy EOS... if were looking at BCC now, I'd be choked that it doubled in price - but so did EOS - so I essentially broke-even.)
Yeah I get your thinking exactly. Wee bit of a miscommunication though, I don't own any ETH ^^ Just feel like I missed the boat for the exact same reasoning you are using. At best I can see 10x returns on ETH in the next few years, while with other projects I can see the same potential in months or even possible 100x.
I realize it is a little optimistic but that is the benifit of owning a portfolio rather than just BTC. Right now it feels like I should have kept all my BTC but come the 30th I will be laughing :)
(Seriously though, who would of thought BTC would run up this much this early.)
I have enough free time to read up on most coins so just try to find under-valued ones with real world use cases and hope by 2020 I was right ^^
