Another milestone for the portfolio:

Everything is completely off all exchanges; there is nothing on any exchange! Everything is in its own wallet and has zero exchange risk.

The portfolio is now set for the long term and any changes should be very few and far between and correspond to the portfolio's long term objectives . . . and maybe there will be a little trading on the BitShares decentralized exchange and the Steemit internal market too.  

I'm also really looking forward to getting more involved in the specific projects I have chosen to invest in, firstly within their respective communities, and secondly as an active participant. I'm sure it must be obvious by now that I think my big four have a very impressive future ahead of them, and I definitely want to be more closely in touch with each as they move forward.

The fact that I cannot say the same about any other of the top level crypto contenders is one of the main reasons why I chose not to invest in anything like ETH or ETC, or ZEC, or even BTC and LTC (not to mention their relatively limited upside potential). If there's no way for the average person to get involved other than buying and holding, then that must mean they are fairly stagnate and anything but dynamic, and that leaves us wondering about what kind of future is really in store for them.

I will continue updating and posting, but, as you might imagine, given the longer term nature of the beast, there isn't going to be that much to talk about regarding this particular portfolio. Perhaps some of your portfolios might pick up the slack, especially if their still in their formative stages. If so, bring them on! I for one always love hearing about other people's trading and investment ideas and would gratefully welcome your contributions.

And, as always, all my best to everyone.
