I suggest having a long term (not to trade) portfolio and a trading portfolio. Even haejin talked about his long term portfolio set aside to hold and he's a professional trader. Here is an example: I had a $3716 position in XLM at $0.0147. I sold out for 80% profit. Now its at $0.569. If I would had held the position would be worth >$143,000. I think there are excellent trading opportunities given the awesome volatility in cryptos. But when there is a awesome business behind a coin, you want to buy a small position and hold it.
