I got in mid year this year. A bit late if you ask me, but it seems like all main currencies like LC ETH DASH RIPPLE are growing because of the influx in interest. From the articles Ive read, bitcoin has a lot of growth to do, so its safe as a long term. Bit coin is the dollar of currencies, its pretty stable over all and everyone uses it as a reference point for cost. The other currencies are not as stable, but in the long term will grow for sure.
