Hi,
I am new here at bitcointalk but not new to bitcoin and altcoins. Two month ago I was lucky and invested into BTC right at the perfect moment after some time of being unsure. Since then I got deeper into the altcoins and speculated with some success (and hitbacks too of course).

For my first post at bitcointalk I would like to recommend a blog in german language dedicated to any kind of altcoins. This blogger give some tips and I just like to read his blog because you by yourself cannot have your eyes everywhere. Don't take it as oracle, of course he can be wrong! But its a good resource for anybodys start...

Have fun!
