and how do you guys store these smaller coins? as we all know most exchanges are not safe. I have lost over 15 BTC in various exchanges or trading platforms 
You already here the first time before us, you should know more about these guys.Did you know there have something called wallets, you can create your own wallets, backup the private the priver key/seed, and then forget about it when you want to hold just check the next few years.
A paper wallet was also an option when you want to hold with the long-term.
