Ha ha true. I am deffinitely a newbie. Only 1 year in but have decided to just buy every month. I have stuck pretty mainstream Bitcoin, Ether, Monero and Steem of course. But like you have dabbled at the fringe because the coins cost so little the potential can be huge for so little risked. The stock market has had a good year but crypto has had a fantastic one and I think will continue to do so. The final thing I look at is its so easy to get tangled up in trades in these markets that i dread tax time. So i definitely want to at least go one year before trading. At the moment I am buying my allocation as Bitcoin and waiting for the alts to turn. The exception was my recent purchase of NEO.
