I'm delighted to see that my 1.334 ETH is now rising in price again. I bought $100 worth when it was down to ~$85 a coin with the intent of using it to fund more coins. Now I'm reluctant to let go of it. I recently took $300 and bought XRP while it was at 29 cents. I have coins in ETH, XRP, XLM, TRX (as well as a trove of various ERC10/20 tokens). I feel like I'm just playing the FOMO game with just altcoins in my Ledger NANO.
I have never felt more like salao old Santiago adrift in the bitcoin sea, hoping I can continue to fight off the sharks while holding out hope that a big whale passes me by long enough for me to gaze into its great big eye.
In 2017, I also had about 1.5 eth on my account and successfully increased them to 27 - but then I was lucky with the purchase of ICON (by the way, it is still at the bottom and it seems to me to show itself) and a couple of ICO projects. Now it is more difficult to promote a small deposit because new good projects (so far) do not come out. On the horizon, only DFINITY, which actually did not have sales - an airdrop in 2018.
The main conclusion I made for myself is that it is very difficult to overtake the market, sometimes it is more profitable to keep in ETH or Bitcoin and watch the growth so as not to make unnecessary mistakes.
Well, the shooting is likely to start not popular coins, which everyone is talking about, and you will see well-known projects that few people keep in their portfolio.
