So is it worth splitting some ARDR and going into IGNIS during this phase? I'm a rookie at all this.
I would suggest to buy some NXT to go for IGNIS as the value of ARDR will steadily increase when ARDOR mainnet launched.
Ardr and NXT is really good investments now, Ignis ico will start in a few days and Ardor platform will be ready in mid autumn. This is safe investments now. Hold this coins for some months.
