If you currently have an ETH, I'd rather hold on instead of investing in other altcoins, because the nature of the exchange rates of other altcoins is greatly influenced by the exchange rate of Ethereum, so the investment in Ethereum is the best choice, instead of investing in other altcoins. Predict that 2018 is expected to be the boom year for Ethereum.
I see that coming mate, ETH will be expensive for sure this year as many project will be updated and start to progress those tokens that uses ETH platform, so if you are thinking for such an investment then you can hold for long term, but if you are also aiming to grow in much quicker yet very risky ways then you can buy ICO which still in the pre sale then wait until it went to the exchange for sure your ETH holdings will grow when you succeeded choosing the right coin for you.

I would buy several ICOs or diversify on alt coins.

You can split it up. Keep some ETH and also get some other alts. During the dip is the best time to buy some new Alts as you can profit when the prices start to rise again.
I would do the same. Holding of Ethereum is certainly beneficial, but buying some of the coins at low positions can give a better income. But now the opportunity has already been missed, the market of crypto-currencies has gone up

Yesterday there was a drop in the market of crypto-currencies, just yesterday I think in this situation it was worth translating ETH-> USDT to fix your airs at least around $ 1100, and on this air, you could buy a lot of any altcoins that today would be you have already given + 30%. But good thoughts come after.
I think you should hold it all the time until you meet the good ICO you think.
Don't worry that ETH will fall back, but don't invest casually, then you can win more.
This is what I learnt in the past few months
Almost everything is going down at the moment and ETH is not an exception, however with such a big volatility in the market it may be worth to look if a cheap altcoin in which you were interested is losing value even faster if it does then you can buy that coin with a discount.

Whole crypto market is falling in price last days. Some people see it as a loose of money, but from my point of view I see this as another chance to gain some more. If we focuse at one coin. In this case I will choose @Viberate - VIB.
Ratio between Ethereum and VIB was circulating around 0.00047557 ETH per each VIB. At todays drop this ratio reach its bottom at 0.00027990 ETH per VIB and I think this is a great time to buy some more.
Good luck!

Now a very good "sale" of altcoins. You can buy very promising coins for a very good price. The main thing is to buy a few coins to increase the chances of success. 
I have seen so many alt coins that were cheaper and I was holding on to ETH thinking it will pave out. I wish i bought altcoins with it as that would got me some profits.
For e.g
I was watching VERGE xvg recently when it was less than 1 cent. today it is 25 cents. I wish that I had invested in it when My gut instincts was for it.
Did not want to loose the only ether as i lost my Previous eth in Confido scam. Please advise.
You can use your 1 eth to buy some altcoins. Or try to invest in some ICO. But select coin that has potential in the future, good project, good core team. Like conducting research for those coins that is undervalued. Try that technique to double your eth. Learn how to diversify.
just save it in your MetaMask or ETH wallet, in a few days there will be airdrop for ETH holders
free token, and of course free money
free token, and of course free money
for now hold on to your ethereum first because as of this moment the price of all the altcoins are dropping because of the dip, so wait for the price to get back to normal then decide whether you hold it for long or invest with the other altcoin.
Everything is falling down, ETH has been down almost $300 and other altcoins too. The market is on a big correction now and if you can avail to buy some alts with that 1 ETH go ahead. But if I were you, I did bought some ETH now and that's a quite cheap price. Hold that 1 ETH you have and if it's possible to add some more, then add. Buy at the dip and when it's on the peak again just sell it or use it to purchase more alts.
I think you better keep your money in 1 Ethereum. This is a more stable coin than other altcoins. Today shows a good result. Hold it, wait for the growth. By the way, today the coins have fallen very much in price, you can advantageously buy.
I want to advise you the same thing. Ethereum is one of the most reliable ICOs in our time so you have nothing to worry about. The decline is always rising. You have to wait a bit and you will get your money with profits. I have seen so many alt coins that were cheaper and I was holding on to ETH thinking it will pave out. I wish i bought altcoins with it as that would got me some profits.

Then you choose the right coin to place all your hopes, ethereum coins today is really blooming its value because there are a lot of people who are interested on investing in it and those consumers who are holding it today earns a lot of profit just like what happened to me. Ethereum coins already reached 1k dollar and it might grow just like bitcoins.
If you want to earn then you will have to take risks. Otherwise, big money does not work anywhere.If you do not learn to lose, and you do not take it easy, you will not earn much. Determine what is more important for you, earn a little, well, or all or nothing.

If you don't want to lose again as you became a victim of a scam before then you should stop investing to such ICO's and just hold your ETH for now. But the good thing today is every alt is bleeding so it's a discounted sale for almost all the alts there including ETH and bitcoin.
If I were you, I would still invest in young promising projects. They can give just huge growth. And even if only some of the investments turn out to be correct, then you will get a very good income.
I suggest that you are able to equally share between etherium and other altcoins.Because when one of your coins has decreased in price you still have great expectations for other coins to increase so you will not feel any loss at all.
