crypto madness

Right when I'm starting to get a slight handle on crytpo currency, bitcoin is now going to split into bitcoin cash, aaaaargh, insanity ensues, maybe I should have stuck to gold/silver, or is it just a young man/womans future currency not us 50+ year old people on planet earth?? maybe litecoin will skyrocket and be kind to me, hmm then probably lite.2 will raise its ugly head. would love to hear opinions and please upvote me, I'm still trying to steemit up here folks! peace, love and all the gratitudes from a lowly peasant trying to survive and prosper in a crazy world.
