If I sell, it will surge, if I buy it will crash - just let me know which way you want it to go.

Feels better knowing I'm not the only one this happens to, thank you.

It's a dilemma which one has to be ready to get heartbroken or jubilate as the case may be.

I bought link at 2.50'ish... then I sold it at 18 after that first run month ago. I knew I should have kept it.

It's been fun watching Polkadot the past few days. It's gone 2x since Wednesday. Some things to keep in mind:

Pros:
- Created by former CTO at Ethereum
- Technical advantages to Ethereum related to scalability
- Extremely fast growing community
- Just passed XRP to become #4 coin...#3 if you ignore Tether
- Still not available on Coinbase or Binance.us - although you can purchase on Binance.com. There will be a pump when it's easier to acquire for casual US-based investors.

Cons:
- Possible US regulatory issues to be straightened out...the reason it's not available on Coinbase or Binance.us...

If you believe in ETH, hedge your bets and start staking DOT. Don't expect anther 2x next week, but very likely more upside potential this cycle than BTC or ETH.

DOT is another asset I had at day 1 last year after it's 100/1 coin realignment...

It was another $2 buy and rode it up to $10+ before selling about 900 coins and rolling it back into BTC.

I started DCA'ing polkadot again, even at these current price levels, because I really do believe in Gavin Wood.

Keep an eye on Charles Hoskinson and ADA... All three major blockchains (ETH, DOT and ADA) are golden.

Congrats ETH on hitting your ATH! I had Algorand at $.50 and sold at $.55. Moving that over to EOS.

This is wonderful. When BTC leveled out a bit I spread out pretty heavy in big Alts. Wonder if we’ll see similar growth to over 2x of ATH in some of these

Same strategy for me... and everyone else I'm sure! I think 2x ATH is pretty much assured for many, many coins. Maybe even most. But I don't think BTC has hit its high yet. I think we're still in a bit of a holding pattern as people take profits. Sentiment still seems to be growing, "Bitcoin" on Google Trends is still just half of what it was in December '17. The longer we hold in this $34-$38 range the better. I'm still betting on at least $50K this cycle, then ETH running up the following month, then the smaller alts. I think any DeFi coin listed on the big exchanges will be must-own.
