I should 95% of the individuals (probs 0.0001% of the market cap)

HODLing forever might be a dumb strategy, but HODLing for the next decade or so might not be.

Am I correct that the average person shouldn’t mess around with anything other than BTC and ETH?

Taking a flyer on some altcoins during a bull market like this probably wont hurt too bad if you keep their portion of your portfolio low… but it’s definitely pretty close to straight gambling. I’d say you should avoid a serious investment in any of them until you feel that you have a strong understanding of BTC on its own.

Once you’re at that point I think BTC/ETH/LTC is a reasonable next step. Lot of people down on LTC right now but I’m personally stacking it and think its ratio vs BTC is looking good to improve significantly in the coming months.

I was about to type “nah other stuff is fine as long as you don’t do any dumb shit like options and leverage and buying a dog coin after it 20x in a week because some weird afrikaner emerald mine heir likes to tweet because he doesn’t have a real job tweeted about it and also probably don’t buy something literally named ponzicoin and maybe a few other rules and you should be fine” but then I realized I should shorten it to “yes you’re correct”.

damn dog how many litecoins do you have?

I previously had some cryptocurrency in the 2017-18 run up and sold everything before the crash happened. I started buying back small amounts into BTC and ETH earlier this year. I just don’t see anything inspiring confidence in me about any of the other ones, but litecoin could be worth holding a small amount.

Not investment advice, but Chainlink is one of the few projects with real-world use cases, and is positioned to be the infrastructure for the “oracles” that connect the various blockchains and reliably interface off-chain data.

Randomly picked some up during the previous Alt bubble knowing nothing about it for well under a dollar. Have since done some homework.

Currently trading at around $28. And most of this price movement occurred well in advance of the current bubble, when most of the other alts were tanking.

Jumped $3.5 today!

I don’t think the average person should buy those either, so I’d go with incorrect.

This is the only crypto i’ve ever thought about adding to my longterm HODL profile in addition to BTC/ETH. Ultimately I decided it wasn’t really worth it, because I deduced that ETH would reap rewards of whatever LINK brings to the table. If i were to add it, it would maybe be like 5% max of my overall holding, and would likely just cut in to my ETH % in my portfolio, so idk if it is worth it.

The thing about all these alts from a longterm investing perspective is any alt you decide to add to your profile is just cutting down on how much BTC you have. So you need to be REALLY confident in the longterm prospects

I haven’t added to my LINK position in ages. Also have some ETH I bought ages ago, but the only position I’m continuing to add to at this point is BTC.

somebody cleaning out the order book in a low volume market really messes up the visuals

lol
