Heyyyy!!!! 1st time trader here. Well, I actually have an experienced P.A.T( personal anonymous trader). My PAT knows all bout the crypto life, like what alt coins to go into when to come out an what not. I just knew I had to take the risk and start investing while I'm still learning the ins and outs.
So, short and sweet in a nutshell! I started with $479 two months later I'm currently at $927 (last time I checked 5/8/17 10am). The alt coins my PAT advised me to go into from the very beginning was Tokes, Ethereum, Dash, Factom, Bitcoin, Golem, EGC and Litecoin. As of today I'm only in Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum approaching a thousand dollars and loving it.
Like I said I'm still learning about crypto currencies and the crypto world BUT one thing I do know FOR SURE is that if my $479 was in my bank account in 2 months it would still be $479 and with that being said, Crypto currencies will takeover all other currencies, eventually in my opinion. Don't get me wrong I think people will still use other form of currencies but that's a whole other discussion. :)
