Remember kids:
Futures whale traders that need more supply will gladly short bitcoin and pump the alts to entice you to part with your btc.

can't ignore current alt-prices are inviting

I usually hold. I bought LTC at 14 then it went to $3 but i waited until now. I sold at $120 because of BTC in it's low valley which is unusual that LTC goes up and BTC goes down so now i've put the LTC money into BTC and see if that rises back 2k and then put that back into LTC afterwards.
