What trades would you commit?You are a braveheart when shorting Etherium.
They are speaking it all over now - even in the university of Helsinki.
The good thing about Etherium is that it has a strong emphasis on marketing and therefore I have faith into it for long haul. On the other hand, there might be a correction in Etherium at some point.
Dash is also interesting from this perspective as they realize the money comes from adaption and adaption only and therefore more people need to be aware of it.
Contrary to that, I have significiantly reduced my exposure on Monero during the pumps and I am not planning to rebuy unless the price will correct lower.
I do not say Monero cannot go slightly higher from here but I am saying the probability of 10 X is very unlikely any time soon (in terms of bitcoins). 2016 was awesome for Monero, probably it will never see similar growth anymore. The attitude towards user adaption in Monero community is something that concern me a lot. They don't seem to understand that people just do not come out of nowhere to buy Moneros + some serious PR issues from the CEO of Monero (Fluffy Pony).
Currently my holdings are mainly in bitcoins (+ some fiat and some gold bullion).
Ripple has also its strength (centrilized party who most likely wants it to grow + interest from the old school banking sector).
Litecoin might be a good bet or not, kinda tossing a coin.
Doge might pump and you make some money from it, I am not sure when it happens though.
