Title: hedging BTC with LTC/alts?
Post by: adpinbr on May 04, 2013, 02:28:12 AM
I was successful at day trading but recently aborted that in order to adopt litecoin. I though of it as a hedge, the reasoning was that i feel the BTC/LTC ratio will only get smaller, and therefore i reduce my risk by putting my money in litecoin. It worked to, my losses on bit coin were compensated by the rise in litecoin. currently I don't day trade litecoin cause I'm afraid ill be out when it goes into gox, but i might reconsider my position due to recent events. anyways IMO this is the safest and most logical course of action. Just wanted to know if anyone else here agrees

I agree 100% with you, I've also recently had the fortune to witness the birth of https://beta.kraken.com/

and now I'm pretty certain that the reign of GOX and their control of the market is coming to a well deserved end.  ;)

Oh yeah for sure, King Arthur, King of the Britons running an exchange, what's not to trust?
