Risto, could I ask if you were one of the yesterday whales?

I can answer that on his behalf: No it wasn't.

This guy knows:-

Someone stormed into the operating theater, grabbed a pair of defibrillators and then shouted - "STAND BACK!" - before unleashing a double dose of 80000 volts to an otherwise sleeping patient. Following this he probably then turned to the startled chief surgeon and quietly said something along the lines of - "that should do it" - before walking out with a bottle of whiskey in his hand.

Great answer!

After the reality hits that the 2.0 coins are mostly hyped scams. Maybe the community will come back to the proof-of-work coins such as Litecoin and Monero.

Selling ETH and buying Litecoin and XMR might end up being a good trade at some point?

It's always worth keeping an eye on Litecoin. I don't own any at the moment but could never really understand why it prompted so much resentment, other than Bitcoin maximalists pissing on their nearest downward competitor and Dogecoin delusionists barking at their nearest upward competitor.

Frankly it's better than Bitcoin. It's released fairly, it takes Satoshi and 'Satoshi's Dump' out of the equation, and dispenses with the ridiculous pseudo-religion that has built up around "his" persona (or lack of).

Actually Monero and Litecoin share some similar qualities in that respect: taking something ambiguous, polishing it up a bit, then re-releasing it in a demonstrably fair manner. Plus, the LTC volume is great and the potential is kept alive because of the Chinese factor.

Interesting poll by the way.
