Hi I'm new to investing in Bitcoin & alt coins and I've noticed there are some that have grown rapidly in the last few days such as BTCM, TIE & CCN. I want to start my journey locating the most promising/on-trend alt-coins to invest in.

My main question is I've been using eToro social trading for my investments so far and I was wondering what are the pros and cons are of it compared to independent wallets?

Thanks
