Have increased my alt-coinage by about a third over the last month without spending any more FIAT just by accumulating.
Reading the Ripple channel on Reddit, full of folks who bought in a $3+ with the suicide hotline on speed dial. "It's going to $10" - and yet no one mentioned where it came from 20 days earlier, $0.20c!
If you're seeing a 1000%-1500% gain on your alt, exchange into BTC. Don't be a 'New Paradigm' newbie."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

I started with 0.25 BTC and although it's now down to 1.34BTC (from highest of 1.6) I'm very pleased so far

Yes. If you've got £1k to spend do this: 50% today. 50% tomorrow or the day after. If it's lower, you've hedged and bought at a better price overall. If it's higher and you bought in, you've paid for you hedge

Was up to 0.75 at one point, 0.56 at the moment.lesson learned though...had i left it all in XLM, where I originally started, I owuld have had 60000 of them when I sold near the top....should have had about 4BTC worth by now. Won't be doing that again. Just need to ween myself off the daily checking of prices and leave it to my email alerts
