@kingscrown : I've been trying all kinds of permutataions and combinations, when it comes to converting to alts and buying back btc, buying from an exchange and selling at another (usually the transaction fee doesn't help cut a profit).

and in the nd I realised that if I had just not touched the money I had put in BTC 4 months ago that would've given me the biggest gains. :)

I'm guessing timing is a crucial factor if you want to trade, if you can't time it well, then the best thing to do is just buy btc when it has a pullback and then store it in a paper wallet (or hardware wallet) for a year or so, then check again to see multifold growth (plus all those free coins you would've got from the forks in between) .. :)
