Disclaimer: I already own 15 or so different altcoins for long term hold, that wont sell for several years.
Im looking to purchase before the fork, investing maybe $1k, for a short term profit. Hoping the prices rises, I can sell before the dump. If there is the drop in price, these can also be held longer term until profitable.
Thoughts?
I believe that investing in Ethereum is a good idea, even though its hardforks launch was postponed until February. I am sure that after hardfork does take place and the network will be updated, the price of ETH will increase, so you need to buy more coins to make a profit in the short term.
