I would say: mine LTC (or another popular currency) and buy BTC

between $150 and $180

This one is newer, and might be a better choice (did not try it myself):

I think it will fall till about $70 to $80 in the coming 2 weeks and then rise again, and peak at about $120 to $130 (or is that what I am speculating on )
Sure hope it will be more volatile then now, because with the steady price at this moment, no money can be earned whatsoever.

Red about bitcoin on an Exchange for Linden dollars, about 15 months ago. Bought some at the time at around $4,= and forgot about it. Glad I did because I earned well because of it
