The Rise of Bitcoin is Too Fast for Me.
Like I have done many times before, I have taken my profits off of the Bitcoin table and moved to altcoins. I don't believe this rise can sustain this pace. If I am wrong my altcoins will still do well in USD terms but if Bitcoin has a nice pullback or begins to trade sideways my wallets will be prepared for an influx of new money into the altcoin market.
I have also taken a chunk of Ethereum and bought into a few ICO's. I will be writing a post soon letting you know which ones I like.
I am Not Shorting Bitcoin.
In the past I would have opened a short position but I believe that is too risky at this point. I don't have time to sit in front of the computer. This market is way to excited to risk a short position in my opinion.

These are Exciting Times in Crypto.
When the whole community is excited and talking about new all time highs I always choose to take a defensive position.
Here are a Few Altcoins I Own.
- Ethereum
- Steem
- Smartcash
- Neblio
- Flashcoin
- Everex
- Hedge Token
- Decent Bet
- Omisego
BTC is leading the way as always.
thanks for sharing your picks.
do you think any of altcoins will reach BTC status?

Excellent decision @hilarski, well it's good time to move into alts because the bitcoin looks to me overbought and you are right shortening the position in this time is also risky, i like the alts in which you are interesting, thanks for sharing very nice thoughts with us, Stay awesome

I took a small profit of 5% and bought some ETH. I'm still 45% in Bitcoin. The upside is still incredibly big IMO. $10,000 will be looked back at as ridiciolously low prices. I wish you not well! (Since I'm on the opposite side of the table) :)
Hope you come back to your senses and join us soon.

Not sure if it is to fast, simple supply and demand and demand is increasing while very few people are selling their coins. The next halving for bitcoin wont happen till early 2020 down to 6.25 coins per block further increasing the supply and demand issue. This is why I love that there will only be 21 million however most likely about a million have been lost in a black hole.

It's never a bad idea to take profits, sometimes its a good idea to get out too soon than to stick around a little too long and not able to get out. Bitcoin is and probably always will be number one, but I just don't see how its possible for it to sustain this momentum right now. Cheers to profits

Hey @hilarski
I think Bitcoin is best cryptocurrency. It's growing rapidly and by just holding it we can earn passively.
Other coins depends on Bitcoin and if Bitcoin keep in rising other coins won't.

I agree that a short is very risky, especially if you can't watch the charts. Could the influx of hedge fund investors is building a new channel? Green channel could be sustained for a while? Then a short term target is $12,247?

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.
To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as

Hi Randy! What do you think about Vertcoin? It is my first choice in the altcoin sphere.
I see it very undervalued considering the developers roadmap. I see it working very well in the long term with either BTC and LTC with lighning and atomic swaps.

That's kind of risky and that's why I might be following your path boss.

Mate, I'm certainly no expert and I'm definitely not a trader but I've recently pulled all my original investments out of all cryptos so now I've got nothing to lose (actually I have, all the profits I've accumulated that could be lost)
Regarding Bitcoin, I'm working on the principle that no major dip has been lower than the previous dip, so I either buy or just ride them out and the price increases over time.
Are you suggesting that this may be coming to an end?
As far as other cryptos go, I've got ETH, BCH, BTG, LTC, EOS, STEEM and now Decent Bet.
In your opinion, do you reckon that's a decent mix?
