So ... which one would you choose?
It will depend on how much optimistic you are to that specific altcoin. Not all altcoin are having the same principle of good for long and short term of holding. Other alts can come and go within a short period of time.
My answer will be put all the amount on trades that is meant for trades. We can't feel much the profits if you will be doing a regular conversion.BTC1 will be the initial capital. After buying coins and price of it increase and I anticipate that price will be decrease thereafter, then exit. Wait for dips and will buy again. The amount to be used is the whole funds came from selling. This is the risk that is worth to shot.
I repeat, it's not applicable on all altcoins. There are alts that is worth to hold and there is also good for day trades.
