I didn't buy into the ethereum IPO and I've been wondering if I made a mistake ever since. I'm interested in how popular it's going to be. When bitshares came out it mooned for a while, although it's gone down below litecoin now. With all the hype ethereum might do the same thing.
As far as I know Bitshares has never been above Litecoin. When Bitshares peaked at ~100M, Litecoin was still over 150M I think. I don't think Bitshares has ever been above #4 (at least since Ripple increased the coin supply listing).
NXT hit #3 at one point, (the order was BTC/LTC/NXT at the time).
All coins tend to go through these pump and dump phases. Ethereum should be no different. Sell the initial hype at release and buy 6 months later when its down ~75% from the peak of the pump.
Whatever coin is hyped and high priced at any given time is the one you should be selling, to get funds to buy the coins that are beaten down. For example, when Ripple had that moonshot to over 700M recently, you could sell it and buy cheap NXT and Bitshares. If NXT or Bitshares goes on a big moonshot again, you sell them and buy whatever is down at that time.
I'd only hold on to 2.0 coins with lots of features however. Coins like Litecoin and Doge don't have much future imo.
Come from beyond's screenshot from the future is pretty accurate imo, though I think Bitcoin will remain higher than that. The future is probably BTC and Ripple in 1 and 2 in some order, and NXT, Bitshares, and Ethereum in 3-5 in some order, imo. These are the 5 to own.
lol this can't be right.. Ripple can't exist beyond 2015..
