Trading BTC for Altcoins When BTC climbs

[upstreammin]

Hey Guys,

Since the market has been stale the last two weeks, just thought I would say headsup to anyone looking to get some Altcoin while BTC has leverage, and wonder is anyone else starting to get pumped?

Do what u think its best, but i usually cash out altcoins for bitcoin when it climbs, and then to fiat, then wait for bitcoin to drop (and altcoins with it) and then
do reverse by buying first bitcoin, then altcoin in question.
It gives you alot of profit if you do it right, but it also comes with doubled risk.

This too can be a good strategy but the wait period can be long and plus one needs to be quick while trading. BTC is just unpredictable and it is uncertain that what can be considered as a high rate.
