True, I made a great amount of money buying and holding. 17.33X gain to be exact. Then I started following the hype, buying highs then selling lows. Made money, lost money, until I realized there's no way to win unless you get in before the big crowds come in. Time is one's friend, even with more mainstream currencies. Now I just buy and hold no matter what, I buy highs, I buy lows, and I'm holding all these for at least 7 years.
