While I believe that Bitcoin is the real king, I believe that those already caught in the BTC ship will soon jump into the altcoin ship if and when BTC goes sideways for sometime.

However, here lies the hallmark of the matter:

Thus if you are going to place a 'bet' (educated or otherwise) on an Altcoin, recognise that it is a bet. The prudent move, in my view, is to ensure that you're at least hedged with some Bitcoin. Not financial advice, of course, just good old common sense in the circumstances.

PS: Post resteemed. Thanks for sharing.
