I'm all for diversification.
I've recommended to folks that get started on Coinbase - depending on whether it's available in their country - to either do 1/3 each, or 1/2 and 1/2 BTC and ETH.
Watch for a while, then move over to Poloniex, Bittrex, or Cryptopia and start trading. Don't be afraid of mucking it up a little - I sure did when I started.
There's also the automatic regular withdrawal option with Coinbase, where you just set it and forget it and do a little on a regular basis.
Go get 'em!
This is great information. I have a Bitcoin Wallet with a bunch of Bitcoin in it, but have not learned how to trade from my Bitcoin wallet with other platforms. It is all a bit confusing but gotta start somewhere, thanks for the help.
I would also recommend putting a small amount maybe 1/10 in other cryptos such as ripple or monero which could be rising up in popularity soon
