I got into bitcoins around 2016 so around 9 months and I would bought/saved/earned around 2 bitcoins overall. with some effort and investment maybe I can reach 3 or 4 bitcoins total by the start of 2017.
2 btc is a good amount to hold and I think you should put some money in altcoin trading so if your moves goes right then you can expect 3 to 4 or even more btc in future.
That's big amount already for me and i think the best option while waiting bitcoin price hike is to do altcoin trading i'll suggest him that do some search so that he can't do some wrong moves and get bankrupt with in the week of buying altcoin are really profitable you can earn estimated 2x bitcoin or mabye more.
If you are lucky then you can make profits even more then double or triple of your investment, but you need to make sure that you choose a right coin and invest at the right time.
