At first when I began investing in crypto currency I bought $ETH, $BTC, and $LTC. Then I got bored watching it go down.
I knew about the #HODL mindset but was unable to remain patient.
After about a couple months of putting in what I could spare each week, I started opening up accounts on numerous exchanges and began beaming $BTC to each one with the intention of buying the most hyped Alt-Coins of the day.
Antshares ($NEO) was the first. That was a good move. Selling it when it didn't pay me quickly enough was not a good move.
Always be hodling.
Now I'm using 80% of my investment money to buy the big ones and #HODL. I'm starting small so staying in the top 10 range of crypto currencies: $BTC, $ETH, et cetera..
But, because I get bored easily I've have been putting in 20% of my investment money into the risky coins. Many coins will go to the moon but many rockets fail.
I've got my coins to #HODL safely for the long term and the fun and weird coins to keep my brain occupied.
Trading is fun for me and is safe when I separate out the bulk of my investment into the lowest risk currencies. I can make some money usually without fail when I dedicate a day to setting alarms, reading charts and riding the climbs, and selling the profits.
Many famous internet Crytpo Gurus say 'day trading' is not good idea. I think they are liars.
