Don't follow hedge funds.
The majority of them underperform compared to their benchmarks.
Second thing is, hedge fund managers learned about stocks. A programmer can do a better job of picking cryptos than a finance grad.
Not sure I agree with your statement 100%. Your a probably right, that currently they do not know yet too much about all the alt coins an their potentials, as the overall crypto market is not yet mature and so many new projects are popping up. But also the charts of Crypto currencies can be read like stock charts. And the future of crypto currencies will also depend on how much of the "old" money is moving into this new market.
