Thanks for everyone's input, I really appreciate it.
Honestly, I kinda want to just focus on BTC. It seems like the best bet to get to where we want to be in the long run. Maybe after we've got 1+ BTC it'll be worth re-examining.
That's a good choice.
Once you reach 1 BTC+ then it's all on you if you want to go to the next step which is 2 BTC or just 1 BTC + another good altcoin. It's just about stepping up and choose whatever you're comfortable and worth taking the risk.
In the end, it's your portfolio that you're trying to grow.
