"You just have to wait". You don't say? 
Tell you I think that it's far better to buy a more established coin if you're willing to wait. Bitcoin is more likely to 10x than Shiftcoin, in my opinion. I don't even need to look up Shiftcoin to know this. And don't let price fool you. $10 of Bitcoin is always better than $10 of some random altcoin. It is my opinion true, but it also happens to have been proven over and over again.
