I now day trade across a number of alt coins and do well enough to buy myself something nice every now and again. Yesterday was fun, BTC breaching £2k was a nice mile stone to smash.
BTC isnt the only digital currency that is riding high. If you hold Etherium, Z Cash, DASH etc then you are also probably trading-up from lemonade to Dom P. There are also a number of smaller coins that are worth a punt, and thats where some (very) big wins can be had
Happy to share some tips if anyone is genuinly interested. Am also happy to sell BTC or other alt coins (within reason!) to forum members who may not have a trading account with an exchange, cheaper than going to Local Bitcoin if you need to make a purchase in BTC, or if you just want to invest.
I decided to de-bank about 5 years ago, and these currencies are an asset that I now lock my money into, along with watches of course :)
My feeling is that these alt-coins, crypto currencies, or whatever you want to call them, are a once in a life time opportunity that later generations will look back and curse for not having had the opportunity to be able to buy-in. As many are doing now with property.
And if you think the BTC boat has sailed for you, it hasnt. I'll link to this thread in a couple of years and you'll kick yourself for not buying in at 2K :)
