I tend to stay away from "hype trains" like ETH, I mean I'll day trade it, but only to make some more BTC. I really don't like over hype and dislike anon devs even more... So I tend to hold coins that have been around a while or at least have dev's I trust/respect, so instead of holding ETH I chose EXP, and try to pick up more when I see it on a dip or will trade it back and forth for more.

as for the dao and fork time will tell how crypto land feels about it.
