When i first started i went heavy into just bitcoin and got very lucky. I quickly 2x my money(just a lucky HOLDL) and then took my principle back into fiat. I have been trading with that original positions profits over the past 2 years.
If i had to start all over again with little capital i would look into buying some ether and then invest into some of the lower risk ICO. Some good money to be had at the moment and its a good way to get a bigger bank with short hold time.
