Do I know you?
Why do you call me Paulica? Yikes! Spooked me a bit, bro.
Definitely looks like Bitcoin will hit $1,000 first and it should happen in the coming year and most likely on news of a public ETF.
And if Bitcoin sky rockets past $500 and to $1,000, then definitely 99% of alt coins, and especially scrypt coins will get killed. So then you have to choose that one coin which will make it and perhaps be the next Bitcoin or at least the next Litecoin.
But something is gonna happen I think to give rise to a new, bigger currency and if one can figure out which one that will be then you can make millions overnight. This is obviously a really long shot but if you're in cryptos you should diversify, but I would stay away from scrypt coins cause without a clear leader and without ASICS and merge mining they don't stand a chance.
Edit:
My number 1 choice for the next Bitcoin is ixCoin. Not sure if you're new to this thread or not. The regulars here know I've been neck deep in ixCoin for a few months now.
Good luck.
