It is impossible to keep up to date with all the cryptos these days. There are new ICOs daily and there is always some kind of software update, rebranding, token drop or swap going on so keeping track of everything gets to be quite difficult. I personally have invested in over 20 tokens and I haven't been keeping up on cryptocurrency news much lately which fucked me with Centra and almost just bit me in the ass again with EOS. They are doing a token swap soon and if you don't register you wallet for the token swap your tokens could potentially become worthless!
It's not that I don't care about my crypto portfolio, I just like to HODL for the most part and to be honest I have been so busy and preoccupied traveling america searching for a new home for the last few months that I haven't had time for cryptos lately. That's the thing about cryptos though, if you own them (especially in ICO stage) you need to keep up to date on them, this isn't your normal stock or bond and it can really mess with you portfolio fast if you aren't careful.
Luckily I still cruise the steemit feed here and there when I'm bored and happened to stumble across this awesome article by explaining how you have to register your EOS token wallet soon (for a token swap) or your tokens will become worthless! In the post she links videos of how to accomplish this, even if you aren't very tech savvy (like me). This isn't that hard, it is just annoying to have to do. You would think that EOS would have set up a better way to do this so unknowing people (like me) don't loose their money, but that's just my opinion. Maybe they do it on purpose for some reason, I honestly don't know.
If you don't have on your friends list you should definitely add her! She is always doing awesome articles about coins/tokens and I have learned quite a bit from her posts. If you want to stay up to date on the cryptoverse without doing all the research yourself than she is your girl!
Anyhow, I have HUNDREDS of EOS tokens and I would have lost them all if I didn't happen to see this post so THANK YOU ! This is a big wake up call to me and it should be to anyone who is invested in multiple cryptos. Learn from my mistakes! Remember, technology is always changing and if you don't stay up to date you could easily loose all your money!

Peace, Love and all this hippie shit!
