why would you not invest more in DRK at least short term according to your belief. What you are basically doing is partly and inefficiently hedging, which is actually increasing your exposure to loss in the short term, at least until you close your position. Just throwing that out there buddy, good luck !
Actually, if I had thought it all through to the extent you have I probably would have
The problem is, it doesn't work out like that - i.e. as a nice, static, non moving goalposts situation. It's fluid and dynamic with many factors. How I "got here" was this:
I had a general rule to invest a tiny portion of BTC in potential competitors that I thought may one day challenge Bitcoin. The idea was that as long as I got "in there" before they reached parity I'd always have numerically more of the challenger than BTC so I'd be hedged (forget fiat for now - I was only interested in having a "horse" in the cryptocurrency race). So I'd buy stuff like PPC, LTC, XPM and such.
But then 1 day I thought DRK looked interesting and I stuck 1 BTC into it and got 1000 DRK's. (That was well before Evan came up with the masternodes idea - I just decided co-incidently I wanted 1000 coins). That was the most I'd EVER invested in a hedge and was high risk for me at the time cos I only had about 10 BTC back then.
Next thing I know, a few weeks later, my DRK holdings are worth 27 BTC and my hedge has turned into my investment ! After that what happened is that the crash came - I realised some BTC and got out of the market around 2. Then I decided I "missed" being part of the community and following the very interesting technical progress that was going on. So I said f*ck it, bought back in around 13 and decided just to write my investment off - I was now in it for running a masternode and general project participation. Any long term financial returns would be "icing on the cake".
So, you see, there's just a whole lot more factors to it than a simple investment / hedge situation although I take your point and will re-read your posts to see if I can optimised my holdings a bit better now that you've brought this perspective to my attention
