I saw something on a friend of mine iPhone I was amazed, this guy has 3 pieces of bitcoin but he didn't look it when you look at him with mere eyes, I ask him how he has come this far, he told long ego he was seriously investing on all kinds of coins with little amount of bitcoin but then most of those coins help him to realized enough amount to buy more bitcoin because that was his primary target. He normally buys those zero value coins when they appreciates it will be enough money, and that's how he convert and swag all to bitcoin and today, he has 3 piece. Is good to be diversified in your investment, somedays something good will come out of one you don't expect.
Good for your friend and by 3 pieces I believe you mean he already holds 3 bitcoin and that's amazing but no matter how promising a shitcoin or altcoin might be, I've always groomed myself never to get involved because they are basically scam projects because they mostly end as a pump and dump and it is always on rare cases where you will an altcoin doing well and ethereum is one of them.
I guess your friend invested in shitcoin when most of the projects seemed legit and not now when every altcoin seems like a scam else he wouldn't have been here testifying this .
even though he invests his funds in shitcoins or altcoins, I'm sure he is a smart person, considering he can collect 3 bitcoin pieces, and of course his main investment is in bitcoin, so even if he loses money on shitcoins it doesn't shake his finances, because it must have been calculated from the start . it's not easy to collect up to 3 bitcoin coins, and I don't think it's just luck factor, of course he has good knowledge and strategy
