Cheers for the in-depth write up on your investing thoughts.
I think one thing that many new investors miss is the supply and how different the distribution is between coins. Not all coins use PoW and mining, and distribution through pre-mine, insta-mine or ICO's can be very confusing for new people to the space.
As you mention above HODL is great but I think it is important to choose exit points (even if they are in the distant future) or choose points for distribution/re-allocation. I believe Crypto is here to stay but in future what is on top could easily switch as new assets and offerings are created.
Thanks again. New here so just looking around Steemit for people to follow and found yourself.
