Yea that makes sense. But I would be careful of newer alts. They seemed to be pumped and dumped some times. It would have been good to get into auroracoin before it got big, but now I am not sure where it is (probably not steadily increasing).
Auroracoin has tanked big time. Spaincoin has also declined significantly since its highs.

Alts: only invest what you can lose without even noticing that it's gone ....
