Don't need a hug. Appreciate the liar comment. There have been naysayers for every coin. It started out good with PC and then went bad. You are kinda of changing my experience to suit your argument. Hindsight is really easy. I will ignore the other troll like comments and concentrate on the one piece of advice you gave:
1/1/2017 12/31/2017 %
Bitcoin $963.06 $13,882.20 1441%
Ethereum $8.26 $763.79 9247%
Ripple $0.01 $2.24 34251%
Litecoin $4.37 $229.53 5252%
Dash $11.26 $1,043.70 9269%
Monero $13.58 347.36 2558%
Ion $0.27 3.22 1192%
"PC" meaning Paycoin? Which part of it was good? It started as a cover-up for a ponzi scheme, how in the world can that be good? SEC lawsuit, ring a bell?
Not sure what you're trying to show with the numbers there and I certainly didn't give you any advice, nor should you listen to any advice on the intertubes forums.
Edit to your edit: again, I'm not advising anything. I didn't invest in anything in particular but I ended up with plenty of different coins due to mining (like DCR which was basically a freebie for mining ETH/ETC). However that really bears little relevance to the topic at hand.
