Is anyone else starting to become a bit excited?

Well it would be great to be able to predict 10-baggers like that and/or predict those 10 baggers will go on to become 100 or 1000 baggers in the future but real life doesnt work like that. In my case its wrestling with seizing a 5 figure sum that pushes me over the line into becoming a homeowner with tenants in my early 30s when most of my peers dont have a pot to piss on vs the possibility of future gains, a bird in the hand etc...

True. Everyone has a cash-out point, and some people require the money now rather than later.

Am in it for the super long-term, I am v curious to see how high it could potentially go with proper public access (which doesn't exist yet), you know, where your grandmother could "order some crypto" at their local bank branch

Anyone who gives numbers or portfolio amounts is painting a big fat target on their back. I've read too many accounts of it happening, and there's always a starting point on a forum or online post. I'm 17 levels of paranoid now.

You could get the same effect by just investing a smaller amount in the first place.

Probability-wise you're no better or worse than if you did sell it all at once.

Crypto isn't like normal investments, especially the alts, they can move insane amounts

I sold an amount of an alt in Dec '17 and it was +300% 4 days later. I can't time the top or the bottom so I prefer to spread the risk rather than concentrate it. It also makes for more rational decision making (over emotional/impulsive) - in my opinion.

I'm open to correction but I would have thought that it is averaging out the sales price and narrowing certain probabilities.

You could have invested a smaller amount for sure. But it's kind of a different thing - as you still have just one point at which you sell rather than spreading it over two. You're not averaging your sales price out.

I know we all have our favourite ALTs that we have our money backing but at this stage im considering a separate option of throwing a 10er on the each of the top 20 and seeing what net I get on that over the next few months.

I remember reading at one point if you did that in September 2017 you would gained around 2.5 to 3k,might be possible to gain that amount in 6 months from now if the bulls keeps pushing

Some of the alt coin worth made no sense during the last bull market. There were ALTs with no actual working product that a market cap similar to massive real world companies. Hard to see that happening again

With BTC after dropping should we withdraw money into alts which are rising at the moment and then reinvest in BTC later

or

Move money from ALts by buying the dip in BTC

You have to remember all the media stories last time around were about Bitcoin millionaires who bought for half nothing. Everyone thought they had missed the bitcoin boat and were looking for the "next bitcoin" which drove up every ****e coin.

That's why any Alt coin seemed to be worth a punt, people thought sure I can buy 1000 tron for a tenner and if it gets to 1k I'll retire.

This time is different. It's less about the price going mental and more about being the most useful coin. Which will become the most valuable.

I did what I had promised myself I wouldn't do again.
I sold an under performing alt back to BTC to try catch the wave. BTC then stalled and the alt shot up.

Hard luck, it mostly seems a game of chance in the short run

I force myself to never buy once the market is in any way bullish, and only to buy when it's in the dregs of a bear, when every second comment in here is about how it's all going to zero. But obviously yeah that's a grim patience thing, I read about this **** on a daily basis, but I don't have the know-how (or balls) to buy and sell on a regular basis

I'm just surprised the whole thing isn't red after such strong gains, but maybe that's coming shortly, who knows

You could also buy 10 euros of the cryptos that Bakkt will follow (most of them are in the top 20 anyway).
